demanded: do you endorse all that
your associate, Mr.. Clark. has saidY
Put yourself on record Let it be yes
or no. here and now"
There was no response except from
the audience, which yelled "Ratsr' and
other choice expressions, and to its
hearts content.
Congressman johnson was permitted
to close the debate. ~ have no i'll
feeling toward or suspicion of Colonel
Brice." he declared. ~ don't believe
that he bought his seat ip the United
States senate, and have said 80 time
and again. Nor do believe that the
tariff bill just passed was tine best bill
for the country, but at the same time /
believe that Colonel Brice thought 80
and that he voted for it honestly"
This was pouring oil on the troubled
waters and the friends of the senator
cheered again and again. The pre-
vious question was demanded, but
just as this juneture 1t was developed

free silver plank aud another war of
words was In order.
THE OLD ROMAN SPEAKS
Allen W. Thurman, son Of the Old
Roman. denounced the opposition as
gold bugs who lacked the courage of
their con nvictions and without response,
challenged them to defend their posi-.
tion.
Lew May, of Cincinnati, heatedly
declared that il the convention placed
itself on record in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, the
party would be buried under an avail
anche that would more than equal the
Neal campaign.
By this time the convention was
elamorous for vote.
Bi.metallism was buried aud free
silver proclaimed victorious by 1853 to
319.
On the senatorial issue, a motion to
simply declare in favor of the election
of United States senator by direct
vote of the people was carried by 467

the vote, Senator Briee without a
change.o OF countenanee, arose from the
chair he had occupied for four hours,
and looking neither to the right nor
the left, stalked across tine stage and
through the wings to the outer air.

On Sept. 25, the Date Of the Firsm ems
Parads.
The annual inspection Of the police
department will be held Sept. 25 The
date is very happy selection, the fact
that the day will also witness the an
nual parade of the fire department.
The inspection proper will be held at
IL o'clock in the morning and in the
afternoon the entire force, excepting
the few necessary for patrol duty will
parade with the fire department.
The fact that the scrutiny Of the
force will be held on day when thous-
ands Of critical strangers will be in
the city 10 an evidence of the faith of
Mayor Connell and Chief of Police
Simpson in the result Of the inspection
The preliminary inspection was held
during the summer. Since then the
force has increased in numbers, has
had the benefit of weekly drills and
has been supplied with whatever ac-
coutrements were lacking.
Mayor Connell, accompanied by
members of council and city officials,
will conduct the inspection at the
Municipal building.

The Pennsylvania Situation Gives Him
Political Blues.
WASHINGTON. Sept 10 Judge Rsy-
nolds, of Bedford. assistant secretary
of the einterior, has just returned from an
extensive trip through Pennsylvania,
where he has carefully studied the po.
litical situation. Democrat that he is.
Judge Reynolds sonfesses that the out
look in Pennsylvania is. very gloomy for
the Democrats. He thinks the Rspub.
licans may gain several congressman,
and as for the state ticket the only
thing that the Democrats can work for,
he said. is merely to keep down the Re
publican majority as much as possible
He says be thinks it is quite likely
that the Republicans will carry the
Pittsburg district, now represented by
William H. Sipe. That district is in
bad shape for the Democrats and they
are likely to lose it. The dissensions
among the Democrats themselves in
Mr.. Sipe's district will aid the Repub.
licans in their fight.
Outside Of the Democratic strong.
holds the only Democratic congress.
man whom he thinks has chance is
Joseph G. Sibley, and, as is we'll known,
there is much doubt whether Mr.. Sib-
ley will make the fight. Taking the
whole situation into account Judge
Reynolds returned with a very bad
case Of political blues.

THE DOWN POUR
IS WIDESPREAD
Greatest Fall Of Rain in The Last Four
Years.
IT IS AN EQUINOCTIAL STORM

Seems to Hold Water-Summer Is
Ended with an Old-Fashioned

tumn May Now Be Looked For.

oughly Soaked.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.

NEW YORK, sept. l9.
0PHE present storm is record
breaker, so far as the amount Of
water that has fallen is con
u eerned, the official record in
inches Of rainfall during the past
twenty eight hours being 3 30 OF this
amount 1. 1S inches fell between 8 and
10 o'clock today This record for two
hours has never been equaled here Of
recent years, except on Aug. II, when
it was exessded-the fall on that day
being go inches in one hour, the high
est record.
The highest record of rainfall in
twenty-four hours was en- Sept. %, %.
1882, when SIT inches fell. The next
highest was in Sept. 16 II, 1890. with
8 II inches. and the present record
stands next.
Forecaster Dunn gives out the infor-
nation that the general rain area ex-
tended all along the Atlantic coast,
from Florida to Massachusetts,, and
that it rained inland as far as the Onio
Valley and the lake regions. Through
out Georgia. he said. the rainfall was
excessively heavy, AL inches being
reported up to 0 o'clock today. That
was at Athens. Ia Blackville. Allen
dale and Greenwood, all in the same
state. 2 49, 2 SO and 2 inches had been
reported The heaviest rainfall during
the night was 2 Al at Tampa. Fla.
There seems to be no need for the
expert opinion Of weather sharps as to
the class of storm which has kept the
Atlantic coast drenehed for the past
thirty-six hours. Any old timer rec.
ognizqs the characteristics Of the Zine

speak of it, the equinoctial precursor
Of autumn frosts aud the harbinger of
the change in seasons
1t has been many day since such
heavy precipitation of rain has been
seen in.this city. Inside Of an hour
nearly half an inch of rain fell. The
showers of the early day were models
of their kind and did their work we'll,

ness, the usual traits of Ssptem Der
storm. were made up in showers. The
rain fell as il poured from huge
buckets. 1t came down in big drops,
which seemed too heavy to slant. but
came down in steady even lines.
In spite of the assertions of certain
wissacres that the idea of an equinoc-
tial storm is all fallscy, the storm
was surely on hand, and even if it is
only coincidence it will strengthen
the old-fashioued theory.

FOUR BAGS OF GOLD.
Daring Robbery of 81 Train Near
ramento-AmOunt of Booty Sc
cured Unknown.

Sacramento, Oct. 1.-THE eastbound
overland train, due here at $50 p. m,
was held UP by two men about six
miles below Sacramento tonight. The
trackwalker was first robbed and then
forced to flag the train. The robbers
then covered the engineer and fireman
with guns and compelled them to ac-
company them to the express car.
Messenger Page shot twice at the
bandits and came near losing his life
from a shot fired in return.
The engineer and fireman called to
Page to open the door, as the robbers
were going to shoot them if he did
not, and also were preparing to blow
up the car with dynamite. He COM
piled with their request, in order to
save the lives of the engineer and
fireman, and the robbers looted the
car of four bags of gold, the amount
of which is not known. They then cut
the engine loose, boarded it and ran
it toward the city several miles. The
engine was then reversed and sent on
a wild run toward the train, but by
the time it had reached its destination
the steam had run so low that the
collision caused but little damage. The
robbers made good their escape. The
train arrived here at 1890.

Robert j. Fails to Break His Record.
Sioux City, Ia, Oct 1.-THE largest
crowd that ever gathered at trotting
event in the northwest, witnessed the
races between the two PAGERS, Robert
j and Joe Fatchen, at the Interstate fair
today. Fully $4,000 people were on the
round. Patchen took the lead at the
start by about a shoulder, and kept it
with hardly the variation of a hairs
breadth to the stretch. when Robert J
slowly crept up on him and came under
the wire first by a short neck in 2:O6.
In the second heat, Robert ] took the
lead from the start and easily held it to
the finish, making the second mile in ex-
actly the same time as the first The
last heat was the sensation of the day.
The start was a perfect one, the two great
pagers crossing the wire nose and nose.
Robert soon put length between him
self and his rival.
Coming into the stretch, Geers let
Robert J out, and he came under the wire
like a shot, five lengths ahead of Patchen.
There was a cyclone of applause a few
minutes afterward, when the time was an
nounced as 2:031s, within a. second of his
record. The last quarter was at a two
minute gait. The quarters: :S2, 1903, 1:34,
2:031s
Robert was not pushed at all until in
the stretch, as he easily kept away from
Patchen. The track was in splendid con-
dition and weather fine.

RAILWAY LAND CASE.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 11.-Judge
Ross in the United States district
court, today overruled the demurrer of
defendants in the case of the United
States versus the Southern Pacific rail-
road, in which there is a controversy
over a large area of land, defendants
claim as a grant to the Texas Pa
cific railroad, which road was not
built according to the terms of the
grant. The land lies within this dis
trict, and the case involves much the
same points as that decided by Judge
Ross a few weeks ago concerning the
Atlantic & Pacific railroad grant. De-
PENDANTS contended that the Southern
Pacific, being a Kentucky corporation,
the court did not have Jurisdiction;
also that certain defendants resided in
New York The court decided it had
Jurisdiction over the land and this
gave Jurisdiction over the case.
