menting on the passage of the repeal
bill, says: The deed is done. Silver
has been degraded in obedience to the
demand of the money lending power,
acting through its appointed agent,
Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States by the misguided grace
of its disappointed citizens. The
action of the senate was expected, and
its effect had been discounted by the
friends of silver. Already the citizens
of the silver states have begun to
arrange for the development of other
resources and industries.

Till To-Day.
Congress Transfers the Model Battle
Ship "Illinois" At Worlds
Fair to Chicago.
Denver Times Says Cleveland 1s
President By Misguided Grace
Of Disappointed Men.

the house provides that the speaker
shall lay be fore the house messages and
bills coming over from the senate on
the previous day. If the silver repeal
bill had reached the house Monday
evening before adjournment, it would
have been in order the first thing when
the house met Tuesday morning. Some
of the members and senators who
understood the rule on this subject
were very anxious to have the
bill passed in time to reach
the house Monday night, but this
was known by but very few, as most of
the members were under the same inn
preston as Mr.. Bland, that the bill was
privileged at any moment it reached
the house. Large crowds had COL
lected about the house, in anticipation
of the bill coming up and interest was
everywhere manifested in the repeal
bill. 1t was great disappointment to
these who had come to the Capitol, in
anticipation of field day in the house.
There were many members
who came early, believing
that the bill would certainly
be brought up. There may be some
effort to have the bill referred to
committee, but until it is laid before
the house it is wholly in the control of
the speaker. It is expected that some
thing will be said about the bill in the
house and an attempt made to bring it
up for discussion, but any member can
cut off considerable discussion by
simply calling for the regular order.
After the reading of the journal Mr..
Cummings secured unanimous consent
for consideration Of the senate joint
resolution transferring the model bat
tleship ''1llinois," at the worlds fair,
to the City of Chicago. Without oppo-
sition, it was agreed to.
At 1850, while Mr.. Oates was speak
ing. Mr.. Cox of North Carolina, the
secretary Ct the senate, came into the
house bearing the silver repeal bill,
but its reception caused scarcely ripple.
Quietly the house went back to routine
business.
Bland Objected.
At 1850, when the morning hour ex.
pired, Mr.. Livingston of Georgia
created some excitement by an attempt
to secure unanimous consent to pro-
ceed with the consideration of the re-
peal bill. His proposition was that the
house agree to consider the bill for the
remainder of the afternoon,
and on the following day until O clock,
when the previous question be con.
sidered as ordered on the bill. and pend
ing amendments.
Mr.. Bland made vehement protest,
and said the bill should take its course
like any other bill, and come up regu-
larly under the rules. "Many members
want to be heard and I for one, object"
And SO the first attempt to reach an
agreement in the house failed,

baggagemaster was Mortified to find
the body of a man. The remains were
those of person about 50 years old.
The man had brown beard, streaked
with gray. On one of his toes was a
tag, such as is used in hospitals. The
police are of the opinion that the two
men were medical students, and that
they were taking the body to Iowa to
dissect. The body looks as if it was
