NO MORE EXPERIMENTS, But the Metropolitan Company May Use an Underground System If They Cam Guarantee Congress That It is a Practical One—The Buda Pesth System on 9th Street. It 1s thought that the House District committee will probably take early action | upon the bill authorizing the Metropolitan | Railway Company to place the underground electric system on their 9th street line. The rafiroad officials have been talking with members of the House committee in the last few days upon this matter. The railroad men were told that Congress will | Fequire the company to give a guarantee that the system will be a practicable one. Congress will not, it is sald, extend the time for the change of motive power in order to permit the railway company to conduct any more experiments. Ample time will be given to place the road in good working order, if it can be shown that at the end of the time the peo- ple of the city will be in possession of a certain means of rapid transit. ‘ ‘The Buda vesth System. To these statements it is understood the railway company answered that there is no doubt as to the success of the under- ground system. They intend to use the system now being used in Buda Pesth, where it has been in operation for several years. It is claimed that the system has Proved a success there under conditions not nearly so favorable as those existing on the Metropolitan railway lines. The company announce their willingness to give proper guarantee to Congress that no further experimenting will be indulged in, but that the work of putting in a practi- cable rapid transit system will be prose cuted to a successful end, THE PRESIDENT AND SILVER. What He Will Do After the Passage of the Voorhees Bill. The President is quoted as saying to a Southern Senator on Saturday that there was ne warrant for the assumption that he Would not approve any bill favorable to silver and that if after the passage of the Yoothees bill a safe and proper silver sure were sent to him jie disapprove x It je understood “that this a8 not said by Mr. Cleveland in tl of communication to be carried to the sii, ver Senators, conversation. but was part of a general REGULAR ARMY SOLDIERS. Away With the Service Law. Army officers generally express gratifi- cation at the prospects of an early repeal of the ten years’ service law. According to one of their number the injurious effects of this law multiply from day to day, and the desire to see it expunged from the stat- ute books grows more earnest. Gen. Scho- field, who opposed the passage of the act when it was first considered in Congress, will urge {ts repeal in his forthcoming an- nual report. Under its provisions a private cannot re-enlist after having served a term of ten years. He must take his discharge and go into some other pursuit. However well qualified by special fitness for the mil- itary service, and regardless of his own de- sires In the matter, the soldier must quit his profession after ten years.

Communication With ¢ Capital Cat 0: The New York Herald's Montevideo, Uru- guay, correspondent cabl It is not known here whether Rio Janeiro has been taken by the naval revolters or whether the bombardment of the capital has ceased. All correspondence with Brazil has now been cut off by the postal authort- tes. Passengers who reached here from Rio by the steamer Magdalena say that when they left the city was in a state approach- ing panic. The rebel squadron was attacking fortified points on the bay shore, and all the forts except Santa Cruz were either neutral or favorable to Admiral Mello. The general opinion of the Magdalena’s Passengers {s that Pelxoto must succumb unless the foreign powers interfere in his behalf. ‘The editor of the Rio Heraldo, a Spaniard, has been brutally murdered by army offi- cers, owing to his outspoken support of Mel- lo, the rebel naval commander. The fighting in Tucuman, Argentina, pro- gresses and the revolters are gaining ground, a STATION AT HAYTL NAVAL for t Acquisition the St. Nicholas Mole. The prospect of the acquisition of St. finds much favor at the Navy Department, as it is a station specioily adapted to the purposes of the United States. There is dissatisfaction at the State Department be- cause of the publicity given the fact that negotiations are to be reopened for the ac- quirement of the mole, on the ground that their success may be impaired thereby. In- structions to govern Minister Smythe in his efforts to persuade HMyppolite to grant the land to us have been prepared, and will be taken with the new minister to Port au Prince. What is desired chiefly is permis. sion to fortify and protect it at pleasure. To do this it will be necessary to practically have the land ceded to the United States, and there is where the main trouble comes in, Hayti’s constitution. it ts sald, prohibits the cession of any of her territory to anouh- er government, but 1: is believed this ditti- culty can be easily overcome if the Hay- tians really are willing to sell the mole to the United States. —— Government Receipts Today. | ‘The recetpts from internal rev today | were $923,293; from customs, $413, Nicholas’ Mole, Haytt, as a naval station, | A SIEGE OF SIX WEEKS The Most Favorable Outlook at Bruns- wick by Surgeon Murray, ‘Twenty Cases of Yellow Fever Under Treatment—A Strict Military Cor- dom Around the City. Surgeon Gen. Wyman has received a tele- gram from Surgeon Murray at Brunswick, Ga., dated last night, stating that there were twenty cases of yellow feve~ under treatment. There was une death resterday. Surgeon Murray stated that there is no need for physicians from the outside until they are asked for. Volunteers will not be welcomed, and nurses are not wanted at Present. The fever pervades the entire city, and a slege of six weeks appears to be the most favorable outlook. A local hos- pital will be opened, und every effort made to take care of the patients. The people of the city do not appear to be nervous over the situation, and there are no evidences of @ panic. Surgeon Murray reports that the Present destitution prevailing among cer- tain classes in the city will be met by pri- vate contributions, but this is not meant to intimate that contributions from ouside sources will not be accepted. A Strict Military Cordon. A strict military cordon has been estab- lished around the city, and a careful guard Placed upon the water front. The object of this is to prevent persons escaping from the city to the surrounding country, there- by possibly carrying contagion with them. For those who desire to leave the city at this time means have been provided through the camp of detention located | twenty-five miles outside of the city, where accommodations are furnished for 300. It | will be necessary for refugees to remain | fifteen days in this camp before being al- lowed to proceed to other places. A patrol under command of Surgeon | Horsey has been placed upon the Cumber- | land sound to prevent persons escaping into Florida, and a similar patrol watches the erway to the north of Brunswick for the protection of Darien and northern ports. Brunswick 1s located on the sea coast, but there is an inland waterway extending all along the coast of Georgia and Florida and the Carolinas between the mainland and the number of islands lying off shore. This in- land waterway furnishes navigation for small craft and has to be carefully guarded. Cholera in Europe. Reports of cholera in Europe continue to come in. At Nantes, in France, for the week ending September 8 there were 66 cases and 51 deaths. At Brest, on the coast of France, in the same period there were 30 deaths from cholera. At Nantes, since March 3, there have been 47 cases and 267 deaths, while in the surrounding country there were 170 cases and 114 deaths. At Rotterdam, from August 21 to September 15, there were 36 cases and 9 deaths. e+ ———$___— THE SENATE AND SILVER, A Vote on the Voorhees Bilt May Be Reached This Week. ‘The intimation comes from responsible sources this morning that the prospects are #0 good for an understanding between the opposing forces on the silver question to give strong hopes of # vote on the Vocr- hees bill not later than next week, and pos- sibly the last of this week. The basis of this hope is understoo to be an assurance given the.eilver men that some measure in the interest of silver will be passed tmme- diately afterwards. It was raid this morn- ing that every Senator who had prepared a set speech on this question end wanted to deliver it would be given the opportunity; that this would rot take long, and that ef- ter the set speeches had all been there would be 110 attempt at filibuster. a no necessity for a continuous session right and day to bring a vote. ‘The silver men, it was said, had been satisfied, or at leost most of them had been, of good raith on the other side, and they were disposed to be reasonable. The understanding cannot be properly spoken of a3 a compromise, since {t ts sald to contemplate the passage of the Voorhees bill without amendments. But the dea is to take up as an independent Proposition immediately after the passuge of the Voorhess bill what would be sub- stantially the Fanikner a:endment. ‘The democrats are alarmed for the party interest on accouat cf their division on this question, and every possible effort is being made to get some accommodation trom bot factions, and bring about something like harmonious action. ‘While no positive agreement has been ac- complished as vet. the disposition to get to- gether and to put an end to this contro- versy appears to be xrowing, and the out- look seems a little more cheerful today, ——__+o+____ A HALL OF RECORDS. An Effort to Be Made to Pass the Bill. An effort will be made in Congress to se- cure early action upon the bill providing for a hall of records in this city. Every department can furnish important testi- mony as to the necedsity of such a hall. ‘The third auditor’s office 1s especially in need of a safe storage place for its docu- ments. There are on file in this office sev- eral hundred thousand copies of pay- master’s, quartermaster’s and pension agents’ accounts, reaching as far back as 1800. ‘These accounts are constantly being referred to in the settlements of claims against the government. It was only the other day that $70,000 was saved to the government by the finding of one little faded paper stuffed away in these files. A claim to that amount arising out of quartermasters’ accounts was pending and would probably have gone through had not the original account of the quarter- master’s been found, proving beyond a doubt that the account had been once paid by the government. This is only one in- stance among hundreds of cases daily aris- ing. Sums amounting to many millions are involved in these papers. ‘The documents are stored away in the attic of the treasury~ building, in a long room under the eaves. It is a perfect fire- trap. If a blaze should ever start the room would be gutted in a short time, before even a line of hose could be brought to play upon the fire, and the government by the loss of its original documents would be placed at the mercy of a horde, of claimants, ———_+ e+ THE SENATI YESTERDAY, The Doorkeepers Kept Guard Until an Adjournment Was Effected. The doorkeepers of the Senate had a merry time yesterday afternoon while the statesmen were out in front listening to the speeches of the Capitol centennial celebra- tion. When the hour came for the Senate | to go to the stand there was a recess taken. This necessitated the closing and | guarding of the doors. It was expected that the ceremonies at the stands would | occupy about an hour and the doorkeepers j were all kept on duty. But hour succeeded hour and the men ‘on guard had to sit and wait, occasionally | letting in a Senator who preferred working lat his desk to listening to the patriotic | Perlods of the speakers. This was kept up for two hours and a | half, and at 5:90 the Vice President strolled into the chamber, found three quiet men scratching away at their desks and called | the Senate to order, He reminded the as- semblage that the Senate was in session and preferred that it should not be, so one of them made a motion to adjourn, which was carried—yeas 3, nays 0. Then the doorkeepers ydwned, stretched themselves and thanked their lucky stars that centenni are in the habit of coming but once in a hundred years. ——_—_-e-+____ Trensury Appointments.

Mr, Hornblower of New York Nom- inated for the Supreme Bench, AN AMBASSADOR SENT 10 ITALY. Mr. Van Allen of R. 1. Receives This Nomination. ——— OTHER APPOINTMENTS. ‘The President sent to the Senate today the following nominations: Wm. B. Hornblower of New York, to be associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, vice Samuel Blatchford. Jas. J. Van Allen of Rhode Island, to be ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten- tiary to Italy. Assistant Naval Constructor Wm. J. Bax- ter, to be a naval constructor in the navy. Abraham Frakes of Kansas, to be regis- ter of the land office at Wakeny, Kan. Allen B. Briscoe of Kansas, to be receiver of public money at Wakeny, Kan, and twenty-six recess appointments of post- masters. W. B. Hornblower. Mr. Hornblower was born in May, 1851, one, if not two, of his great grandfathers having been signers of the Declaration of In- dependence. One grandfather was the late Jos. C. Hornblower, chief justice of the state of New Jersey, and one of the most eminent jurists of the country. One uncle was the late Justice Bradley of the United States Supreme Court, and another the late Judge Woodruff of the United States Circuit Court. His father was the late Rev. Dr. Hornblower of the Presby- terian Church. It is an odd fact that his father, after studying law, decided to be- come & minister, while he, after intending to be a clergyman, Became'a lawyer. He was graduated from Princeton in 187%, winning the class of ‘69 prize in English Mterature. On November 1, 1874, he entered the office of Carter & Eaton in New York elty, being admitted to the bar in the fol- lowing spring. January 1,1883, with Messrs. Byrne and Taylor, he organized the present partnership of Hornblower, Byme & Tay- r. Mr. Hornblower has been for many years counsel and for several years a trustee of the New York Life Insurance Company, and has general control of its Utigation all over the world. He has been concerned in many of the most important law suits tried here in recent years. ‘The wife of Mr. Hornblower, who was a niece of the late Judge Sanford of this city, died several years ago, leaving two sons and a daughter. Besides being president of the Princeton Alumni Association Mr. Hornblower belongs to the following clubs: Manhattan, University, Princeton, City, Democratic, Reform and Metropolitan. He 1s a member aiso of the Society of Medical Jurisprudence and of the Bar Association. Being forty-two years old, Mr. Horn- blower is six years younger than was Chief Justice Marshall when he ascended the bench. He is the youngest justice ever ap- Pointed, save Judge Story. He is a Cleveland democrat, and was active in the movement in the Bar Asso- elation to have Judge Bookstaver impeach- ed for his connection with the Flack case. His mother and his brother reside in this city. The latter ts the well-known archi- tect, Mr. Joseph C, Hornblower. This appointment is understood to have been a nal une on the part of the President, who hecame well acquainted with Judge Hornblower while engaged in the practice of iaw in New York city in the interval between hfs first and second terms as President. Judge Mornblower was not a candidate for the office in the usual meaning of the term, but the winlom of his selection was urged on the i'res:dent by many influential lawyers of his own party, for whose judgment he bas great Tt is evident that the appointment of Mr. Hornblower will not be received with plea- sure by all the politicians of New York. Mr. Hill this afternoon declined to discuss the nominee, but simply said that the demo- crats of New York would be disappointed. “The democrats of New York,” said the Senator, “preferred the nomination of Judge Rufus W. Peckham of the present court of appeals.” No one will say, how- ever, that so far as the qualifications of Mr. Hornblower are concerned that it is not @ etrong appointment. CAPITOL TOPICS. The House Judiciary Committee. At a meeting of the House committee on Judiciary this morning Representative Oates presided in the absence of Chairman Cul- berson, The bankruptcy bill was reported from the subcommittee to the full com- mittee, and next Tuesday was fixed for its consideration. This is Mr. Oates’ substi- tute for the Torrey bankruptoy bill, and many amendments are proposed. The main int at issue ams te ee seems 0 mn @ provision relating to'involuntary bankruptcy, and it ie thought that discus- sion will hinge mainly upon this point. A favorable was ordered on the bill requiring federal judges to charge juries according to the practice prevailing in the state court. DAY OF ATONEMENT. The Observance of the Jewish Feast Begins This Evening. This evening the observance of the day of atonement will be begun in the Jewish synagogues and homes. It is the tenth day of the new year and is an occasion of fast- ing, prayer,and penitence. The celebration begins at sun down and continues until the same time tomorrow evening. This fast is universally observed by Hebrews, reformed and orthodox. Among the orthodox Hebrews a strict fast is kept, and during the period of its observance no food is partaken of and not even a drop of water 1s permitted to mols en the parched lips of the fanter.

Worst Wreck on the Road in Years. THE KILLED AND INJURED. CHICAGO, Sept. 1%.—Nine people were killed and twenty injured last night by a fearful rear-end collision between two sec- tions of the Big Four train knowa as 4 at the village of Manteno, a few miles north of Kankakee, on the line of the Illinois Cen- tral railway. The Victims. ‘The following is a list of the dead so far as known: David Jaskson, Cynthiana, Ohio; Chris Kimmel, Dayton, Ohio; seven others dead, but impossible to ascertain names at pres- ent. ‘The injured are: Blanche Belison, Sinking Springs, Ohio, limbs badly bruised; L. H. Blanton, Cincinnatt, fatally; George Brack- ney, Wilmington, Ohio, limbs crushed, probably fatal; Jas. W. Brown, Wilmington, Ohio, internal and head; Mrs. Jas. W.

B. Wisehart, Frankfort, Ohio, in- ternal injury; Wm. Blain, Indianapolis, Ind., internal injuries and cut around head and face. How It Happened. ‘The accident happened in this way: An ‘Minols Central passenger train had stopped to take water at a tank a quarter of a mile north of Manteno. The first section of the train, No. 45, came to @ stop, but it is said that no flagman was sent back to flag the second section of No. #. It is a straight track for two or three miles, and {f a flagman had been sent back the engi- neer of the second section could not fail to have seen him. On the other hand, it is said the engineer of the second train was asleep, and that the fireman was throwing coai into the fire box. Both en- gineer and fireman saw the train ahead of them just in time to jump. They Lad a narrow escape for their lives. ‘The first section of train No. & left Chi- cago about 8:15 o'clock. It was followed a few minutes later by the second section. ‘There was a “dead” sleeper on the rear end of the first train, or, in other words, the car was empty. was the day coach, and contained some forty or fifty passengers. ‘The second section of the train crashed into the “dead” sleeper, driving it forward through the day coach, and mowing the passengers down as if hit with a huge scythe. Many of the passengers had fallen asleep, and they were killed outright. The empty sleeper went through the roof of the day coach, and ft did not stop until it had com- pletely telescoped the car from end to end. Worst Wreck in Years. ‘The wreck was the worst that has oc- curred on the Illinois Central system for twenty years. Several of the injured are beyond recovery, and it is probable that the list of fatalities will be swelled to four- teen. Several of the unknown dead are thought to be prominent men of Cincinnati and ad- joining cities in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The bodies were badly mutilated and un- recognizable. Only two of the entire lst of killed could be identified. All the injured, excepting L. H. Blonton, Cincinnati; Olive Patton, Carmel, Ohio; Emily Templeton, Sinking Springs, Ohio; Anna Cowell, Lower Albany, Ind.; Jesse Morse, Cincinnati, Ohio; Emma Gallatin, Columbus, Ohio, and Miss B. Gallatin, Co- lumbus, Ohio, were brought to this city and taken to St. Luke's Hospital by the city ambulances and patrol wagons. The train conveying them to the city arrived at 6 o'clock this morning. Ample preparations have been made by the police department to remove the in- Jured to the hospital, and with all possible haste under the circumstances they were taken out of the cars, placed on stretchers, carried to the waiting patrol wagons and riven to St. Luke's, where a corps of phy- siclans was ready to give them medical at- tendance. The dead had been removed to Kankakee. A Passenger’s Story. J. W, Means of Chester, 8. C., one of the least injured, was an ocoupant of the first sleeper in the wrecked train. “I was just ready to go to bed,” he sald, “and had told the porter to fix my section, when our train stopped, I cid not attach any particu- lar attention to that, as I supposed it was merely a stop on sigaal or for a water sta- tion. We had deen startling still perhaps four minutes when I heard a rumble be- hind us, and @ noment after the whiatie of a locomotive a half dozen times repeated. I turned toward the rear of the sleeper, and then there came a crash which put out every light im the car. I was hurled head- long to the aisle, end under one of the lower berths. It seemed an age to me be- fore I could get out. J heard cries all about me for help, and answering cries from peo- ple outside, who were beginning to come back from the day coaches and sid in the work of rescuing. As I crawled out from the wrecked sleeper everything was in to- tal darkness, but I could see outlined against the sky the cars, as they were wedged together, broken and splintered. I helped to pull out a numyer of the injured before I discovered that 1, too, was hurt. ‘Then my arm and back began to pain, and I felt the blood running from my bead.” Mrs. Kimmel’s Grief. One of the most pitiful sights around the wreck was the grief of Mrs. Chris Kimmel, herself probably fatally injured. A number of those on bourd were from Dayton, Cynthiana, and other Ohio points, and they had secured berths near together im the sleeper worst wrecked, the one next the sleeper which bore thle brunt of the ovi- sion. Into this car the forward end of the last sleeper was -Iriven, crushing passen- gers and berths into the forward end in a sbapeless mass, ‘The car ahead of it | Belleson, Sinking Springs, Ohio, fracture of skull and injury to spine.
