Senators Inclined to Follow Their Own Wishes. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. Considering the Political Effects of the Silver Fight. THE SITUATION TODAY, There is a great deal of feeling manifest-! 2ilian republic. Great Britain, France, Ger- ed by some of the Senators over the state- ment that the administration wants Con- gress to take a recess without any sort of | action on the silver question if the Senate | fails to reach a vote on unconditional re-| peal. It is very well understood that the| test of endurance to be entered upon to-! night will decide whether or not a vote can! be had on unconditional repeal. If the ef- fort fails a number of Senators who }.ave been supporting the administration, though | their personal feelings inclined them to-! ward some substitute for the Sherman law, | will feel that they have done their duty by | the administration, and will then be at lib- erty to try to settle the differences in the party by a proposition different from that presented by Mr. Cleveland. They therefore receive with disfavor the suggestion that if they fail to repeal the Sherman law in just the way Mr. Cleveland would have it done they must quit for the time and attempt to do nothing until the silver men have had| an opportunity to revise their conscience and become wiser under the pressure of public sentiment. Legislation of Some Kind. It is claimed that a large majority of the Senate, made up of republicans, silver men and many of the democrats who are now supporting the administration, will insist that there must be legislation of some sort before any recess or adjournment is taken. Their argument is that every one is in fa- vor of the repeal of the Sherman law; that the democrats are pledged to its repeai, and that the only principle involved is that de- manding the repeal. The manner of the repeal—whether there shall be a substitute for the law carried with the repeal or whether it shall go without a new law—is a matter of policy merely. They claim, there- fore, that they are compelled to repeal the law, and that if it is impossible to do so w conditionally they must make such condi- tions as will accomplish the repeal. In this spirit they propose to stay here until some- thing is done. Otherwise they say, that the democratip party will be discredited before the country and disrupted from within. Thinking of Political Effect. The fight has reached that stage now where ‘the effect of the situation on parties 1s being considered. The republicans are not disposed to do any more toward help- ing the democratic administration than their duty or their conception of their duty to their constituents demands. The demo- cratic managers, on the other hand, are trying o get out of their embarrassment with as little injury to their party organi- zation as possible. ‘One of the arguments made for a compro- mise, and approved by some of those who are supporting the administration at this time, is that if the Sherman law is repealed unconditionally that act will be followed al- most immediately by the passage through both houses of a radical silver bill, men who ‘have: fought for unconditional repeal | aiding it. Such a bill as would be passed would not be approved by Mr. Cleveland, and therefore could not become a law, but {t would result in a break in the democratic party which could never be mended. This talk, whatever It amounts to, is be- ing indulged in by prominent men, and its Tepetition indicates the state of affairs in Congress and shows that the “party equa- tion” enters seriously into the fight which begins tonight. — A New Chief Clerk.

The Application of the Monroe Doc- trime—President Clevelan: Instructions. The situation of affairs in Brazil has as- sumed a more serious aspect, and one that calls for vigorous action on the part of the United States. There are evidences that the principles of the Monroe doctrine are being transgressed in a most essential par- ticular, and that European governments are taking entirely too active a part in the set- tlement of the political troubles of the Bra- many, Italy and Portugal are represented at Rio by a fleet of warships sufficiently strong to enforce any concerted movement against any other single power. The latest official information from our representa- tives at Rio is to the effect that the foreign naval commanders have persuaded the in- surgent Admiral Mello to suspend further bombardment of Rio on the promise of the Brazilian President Pelxoto that the forts will cease firing on the insurgent fleet. The State and Navy Departments may have other and more definite advices than this from Rto, but if so they are carefully kept from the public. All that is vouchsafed the. newspaper men in regard to the situation is embraced in the statement already made. Although it is not stated in the dispatch | above referred to, no attempt is made to change the impression that the United States naval representative at Rio is acting in concert with the other foreign naval officers, In the absence of information to the con- trary therefore it looks as though the for- eign naval officers are clearly interfering in the civil war of Brazil, and that the strict rules of neutrality are not being faithfully observed. The part taken by Minister ‘Thompson or Capt. Picking of the Charles- ton in bringing about the alleged cessation of hostilities 1s an executive secret. It is confidently asserted by some naval officers that they certainly would do nothing to as- sist Buropean interference in the affairs of an American government. Naval officers assert that our represeniatives are rather more likely to have protested against for- elgn interference, either in the interest of the lawful President Peixoto or of the rebel admiral, Mello, who is generally supposed to represent interests favoring the restora- tion of the monarchy. Foreign interference was once or twice threatened during the Jate civil war in this country, but it was never carried into execution. It is contended that the same principle applies to the present revolution in Brazil. They must be let alone in their struggl on the ground that they have as good right to settle their own quarrels as the United States or any other country had to settle its quarrels. And it is further urged that the Brazilian affair certainly di call for European interference. Partlet exception is taken by diplomats to the prop- osition to land foreign forces at Rlo for the preservation of order and the protec- tion of the subjects of the countries to hich they belong. It is pointed out that h action so far as New York or an; of our ports are concerned, would not ha’ been tolerated for a moment during the civil war in this country and that the prin- ciple is equally good as applies to Brazil. Instructions Sent by the President. Specific instructions have been sent to Minister Thompson and Capt. Picking on this point, but they are kept from the pub- lic. It 1s inferred, however, that our rep- resentatives.are reminded of the Monroe doctrine of “America for Americans,” and are enjoined to observe a atrict neutrality between the combatants, and also to see that there is no interference on the part of any other foreign government. The instructions to Minister Thompson and Capt. Picking, came direct from the President and were sent to them by cable in the cipher of the Navy Department. It is possible that they may cause Capt. Pick- ing to take issue.with the European naval commanders. The Charleston is the only American war ship now at Rio, but before the month is out she will be joined by the Newark and the Detroit, now en route, and thelr arrival will give "the United States the strongest representation of any foreign government at the Brazilian capital... ‘The News From Brasil. Press dispatches from Rio say that Min- ister Thompson joined the European diplo- mats in favoring interference. Officials of the State Department are silent on this point. A New York World special says: Latest Rio news is that the interference of the diplomatic corps has been effective in preventing, for the present, danger of a renewal of the bombardment of the city Proper. Mello insisted that he had gone no further in this direction than to reply to attacks upon his ships from shore batteries. The diplomatic corps declared that bat terles so located as to draw fire toward the city should be dismantled, and the go ernment has accepted the suggestion and re- moved the guns. The fleet _has thereupon stopped the bombardment. The split in the diplomatic corps over the general treat- ment of the question has meantime become serious. ‘Minister ‘Thompson of the United States joins with the representatives of all the European nations, except Germany, in fa- voring interference. The German minister holds aloof from negotiations. The Argen- tine minister complains that he has been ignored, never having been consulted in the matter at all. Under his lead all the other South American ministers have combined to oppose interference by the repres@ta- tives of European powers in a distinctively South American affair. ———+-2+_____ CONSULTING MR. CARLISLE. Harris and Gorman the Secretary. Secretary Carlisle came to the Treasury De- partment quite early this morning. He im- mediately repaired to his private room. No visitors were admitted except Senators Ran- som, Harris and Gorman. They came in the order named, and conferred with Sec- retary Carlisle, presumably on the Senate situation. Senator Ransom’s position on the silver bill is not as clearly defined as that of Senators Harris and Gorman. He 1s supposed to represent that class of Sena- tors friendly to the repeal bill, yet who would be willing to accept a compromise recognizing silver as a money metal rather than have all financial legislation fail. Senator Harris is one of the leaders on the silver side. Senator Gorman 1s lined up on the repeal side. The latter Senator remained with Secretary Carlisle for some time in earnest conversation. Since the re- peal bill has been before Congress Secre- tary Carlisle has had the sole direction of the struggle for repeal on behalf of the ad- ministration. All other cabinet offi- cers have kept “hands off,” as the President had intrusted ‘the con- duct of the fight to Secretary Car- lisle. It is stated at the treasury that Sec- retary Carlisle will visit the Senate this af- ternoon for a final conference with the re- peal leaders before the continuous sessions begin at 6 o'clock this evening. It is possi- ble he may remain and extend his visit into the night. : —————_e—___ The San Francisco's Cruise. ‘The flagship San Francisco will leave New ‘York in a few days for her winter cruise in the West Indies.

The Senate on the Eve of the All- Night Struggle. MR. COCKRELL HAS THE FLOOR He Says His Side is Ready to Pass the Bill With Amendments. OTHER SPEECHES READY. Today, if announcements are to be given full credit, will be the beginning of the end of the great legislative struggle over the bill for the repeal of the silver purchase act, which has now been going on in Congress for nine weeks and in the Senate branch of it for six weeks, When Mr. Cockrell (Mo.) yielded the floor last evening he had spoken for five hours—in addition to the four hours that he had spoken on Monday—and yet he had not reached the end of his speech,which was again continued today. It would not be surprising if the wlule of today’s session up to the usual hour of ad- journment would be required for the con- clusion of Mr. Cockrell’s speech. ‘Then there are several other equally long-winded Senators who are yet to be heard from, in- cluding the two Nevada Senators—Jones api Stewart—and Mr. Teller of Colorado, who began @ speech last week and will probably desire to continue it today. Any attempt to fix an hour when these four speeches will come to an end would be rash und futile. ‘There was apparently no larger an at- tendance of Senators this morning than there has been any day for several weeks past, notwithstanding the official announce- ment that the final struggle over the silver purchase repeal bill will begin today. ‘The pile of books on Mr. Cockrell's desk was even larger than it had been yesterday, dicating that the third installment of his speech would be of greater length than the first of it was, and may extend all through today’s session, even if it should continue to daybreak tomorrow. Mr. Bate’s Uncertain Constituents. Mr. Bate (Tenn.) sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a series of resolutions adopted at a large meeting of the citizens of Lincoin county, Tenn., commending the action ot the Tennessee Senators against the uncon- ditional repeal of the Sherman act, deciar- ing the repeal bill to be in the interest alone of the wealthy and creditor classes, and announcing the “enemies of silver money as our enemies and their friends as our friends.” Mr. Bate made some remarks on the sub- Ject as connected with the contrary action cf the Memphis cotton and merchants’ ex- changes. He admitted that there was a wide difference of opinion among the people of Tennessee on the silver question, and re- fer ts to show the variableness of e Memphis cotton exchange on of the Washburn anti-option lion. It might be, he said, that ext week there would be a silver-favoring majority in that body. He would, there- tere, be excused from attempting to follow an organization that was so variable in its course on economic questions. A bill to pension the widow of the late Gen. John M. Corse at the rate of $100 per month was reported and placed on the cal- endar. Quite a number of bills were introduced and referred to committees—a rather un- usual circumstance during the present ses- jon. Mr. Cockrell Takes the Floor. At 11:5 the silver purchase repeal bill was taken up, and Mr. Cockretl (Mo.) resumed the floor and proceeded with his speech against the bill which he began on Monday last and continued yesterday. His opening sentences showed that he was suffering from hoarseness, but to a whispered sug- gestion from Mr. Harris he remarked that it was only temporary huskiness, which would soon pass away. “Why not restore bimetallism?” was his first sentence. “Why not restore silver to all the monetary functions given by our laws? Why not make gold and silver equal in every respect by proper legis‘a- tion now by amendments to the pending bill? ‘Now is the accepted time.’ ‘Procras- tination is the thief of time.’ All of us on both sides of the chamber, as well as the executive, ere the friends of silver. If we /ote'why not, then, give some tangible evi- @ence of our friendship? The charge that we who oppose the bill are obstructionists is false and unfounded. “If there be obstructionists here they can only be those Senators who insist on ig- noring the most essential and necessary legislation recommended to our considera- tion by the President—that is, financial islation. I am justified in saying, in behalf of the Senators opposing the pend- ing bill, that we stand ready today, and will so stand throughout this ruggle, ready and anxious to pass this bill, with amendments, We are not repudiationists. We are not inflationists. We do not be- Heve in flat money. We advocate honora- ble money, consisting of gold and silver and paper convertible into coin on de- mand. We want legislation now—not mere idle promi: We favor legislative action, not legislative promises. But the President and the Senators who support this bill are dumb and silent as oysters in regard to the financial system which they want.” “There is no silence about them,” said Mr, Palmer (11 ‘Pass the bill ted with “That, then,” Mr. Cockrell s bitterness, the financial policy of the national democratic party of the United States. Simply the passage of a bill repeal- ing the Sherman law.” “This is one step in that direction,” said Mr. Palmer. “Then,” said Mr. Cockrell, “it is no finan- cial policy.” “Tt is no financial policy, I admit,” re- marked Mr. Palmer, “but it is a step to- ward It.” “A step, a miserable step, on a broken leg,” said Mr. Cockrell. “No; we want a system as a policy.” “Will the Senator from Missouri present his plan?” asked Mr. Palmer. “This bill is to remove an obstacle out of the w: What is the Senator's plan? When Sena: tors complain of silence they ought to pre- sent some plan of their own. They should put it in a comprehensible shape—some- thing more than mere declamation about free silver.” “That is no answer at all,” said Mr. Cockrell. “The President convened Con- gress in extraordinary session because of our financial condition, That is the ex- press purpose; and they simply propose to repeal power given in the Sherman law to purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, and they stop there. “The bill.” Mr. Palmer said, “proposes no more and no less than that. Has the Senator thought out any monetary meas- w Mr. Cockrell said, ‘the Sherman law of 1873 in force, estab- Ushing a single gold standard and giving to gold only the right to coinage.” ‘Tt leaves all other laws in force except what {t repeals,” said Mr. Palmer. ‘And that law of 1873 is the only money law that will be left in force?” “That is a matter of judgment,” said Mr. Palmer. “I ask the Senator to name any other money law that will be in force.” ‘No question about that,” said Mr. Cock- rell, “But what law will there be left recognizing the right of silver to coinage? What law will there be which does not make gold a single standard in this coun- try? This bill, if it passes, places the United States on a single gold standard.” “I understand,” said Mr. Paimer, “that the law which ‘makes silver dollars legal tender remains unrepealed. “Everybody knows that. But is there ai y law authorizing the coinage of @ solita.y single dollar?” ‘None, I think,” said Mr. Palmer, “except the ‘discretionary power contained in the itsel (Continued on Sixth Page). ~|WHAT WILL FOLLOW? HANDS OFF OF BRAZIL! TALKING TIME AWAY, [WILL HEAR THE APPEAL. The Demurrer in the Ainsworth Oase Before the Upper Court. | Chief Justice Alvey Says the Tribunal ‘Will Pass on the Demurrer on Ac- count of the Interests Involved. Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse, the four men twice indicted for man- slaughter in being responsible for the death of one Loftus, a victim of the Ford's Thea- ter disaster of the 9th of last June, this morning gained quite an important point in the legal proceedings instituted against them, the Court of Appeals deciding to grant the petition filed yesterday by the accused for a hearing by the court of their appeal from Judge McComas’ decision of Monday last overruling their demurrer to the two indictments. After disposing of a few motions this morning Chief Justice Alvey announced that the court had carefully considered the Petition, and discovered that it presented a very grave matter for the court's consider- ation, Yet it was a matter with which the court had to deal with very great caution, for the indiscriminate granting of such ap- peals would paralyze the business of the criminal courts and sadly interfere with the work of the appellate court. But the mat- ter presented in the present petition dis- closed a case of considerable importance, involving very grave consequences both to the defendants and to the government. If the indictments were defective the interests of justice and the saving of great expense to the government and defendants demand- ed a decision in the matter previous to the inauguration of the trial, So, taking that view of the case, explain- ed the Chief Justice, the court had decided to consider the appeal of the defendants from Judge McComas’ decision in dismiss- ing their demurrer. But the court did not intend that its action in the present case should form a precedent, for the court was disposed to discourage similar appeals, es- pecially in criminal cases, for the reasons stated. Asking for Time to Prepare. In answer to an inquiry of Mr. Justice Morris as to how much time he would de- sire for preparing his appeal, Mr. K. Koss Perry of counsel for the defendants stated that at least two weeks would be necessary. Chief Justice Alvey explained that the court would probably suspend the hearing <2 cases on the 2th instant, in order to spend the remaining days of the month in ccnsultation on submitted cases, and inti- mated that the appeal could then be heard. Mr. Perry, however, stated that he feared that counsel for the defendants could not be ready by that time, but that they cer- tainly would be prepared on the ist of next month. They would at once consult with District Attorney Birney in the matter and endeavor to agree upon a date which would meet the approval of the court. Chief Justice Alvey stated that the court desired that the utmost diligence should be exercised by counsel, that the question might be disposed of at the earliest day practicable. ————-2+_____ PRINTING OFFICE BILL.

Senator Faulkner today introduced a bill into the Senate providing both for the pur- chase of a site for a new government print- ing office and for the erection of a building. ‘This is the first bill of its kind so far in- troduced into the Senate. Two have been drawn for the purchase of certain sites, but so far there has been no complete gu- thority for a building. ‘Mr. Quay on the Sth of August presented ‘@ bill selecting a site on the south half of square 673, at the corner of North Capitol and L streets. Authority is further given to the supervising architect to prepare Plans, and $250,000 are appropriated to be- gin the work on the structure. ‘On the 2ist of August Mr. Pasco, by re- quest, introduced a bill selecting aoaers = bounded by ist and 24 streets east and ‘ani streets sout! 0 appropriation is made for the building, though the archi- tect of the treasury is ‘authorized to pre- pare plans. In Senator Faulkner’s bill, however, the question of the location of the size is left to the commission provided for by the act of August 30, 1890, consisting of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, the public | Printer and the architect of the Capitol, who are directed to complete at once their Proceedings to acquire a sufficiently large plat of ground, by purchase or condemna- tion, and to pay for it out of the appro- priation of $250,000 made in the same act. In case this proves insufficient $50,000 more is appropriated. The second section of the bill provides for the erection of buildings upon the site so se- cured, but leaves the sum blank. It is stip- ulated, as in the other bills, that the plans ahall be drawn by the supervising architect of the treasury, under the direction of the commission, which shall also have charge of the construction of the buildings. The bill was read twice and referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds, which has the entire matter under consider- ation. ~ In addition to the legislation thus posed, Senator Gallinger on the 3d of ‘this month introduced a joint resolution making available the sum of $250,000 appropriated by the act of August 30, 1890, and suspended in 1891, for the purpose of securing a part of the square on which the present building stands and the erection there of warehouses to relieve the overcrowded structures now en by the government’s publishing use, Another Plan. A movement is on foot in the House to socate the new government printing office in the public reservation lying between 3d and 4 1-2 street and south of Missouri avenue northwest. Representative Amos Cummings of New York is the father of the scheme and is working up a sentiment in favor of it. The arguments which are being made for the plan are that the site will bring the printing office near the Capitol and in a line with the departments and the daily route of members to and from the Capitol. The question of economy in saving the purchase money of a site is urged, of course. There is a counter movement against it, however. There is a strong sentiment against despolling the mall by the erec- tion of a public building. It would overlook the Botanical Gardens, the opponents say, and would be an eyesore. From 3d street west to the National Museum the mall is only broken by the 6th street railway sta- tion and there is a strong objection to ut!l- izing the public parking, the source of health and comfort to the citizens, by the erection of a public building.

Third Cup Race Started in a Light Breeze, LONG DELAY WAITING FOR WIND. Lord Dunraven Refused to Allow Further Postponement. TO WINDWARD AND BACK. SANDY HOOK, Oct. 11.—A steady breeze from the northwest blew over the city house tops when New York rubbed its eyes this international yacht races for cup. The day promised well, crowd set their faces seaward. ing sharps, after a glance at the flags along the water front snapped wind, said there would be plenty of outside. There was a haze over the early, but sun and wind rapidly cleared it joined the procession down through the boats, and every stick, spar and rope was critically examined. When the racers reach- €4 the Narrows. everything was in ship- shape on board for the contest. The tugs towing the Vigilant and Valkyrie brought them inside the horseshoe in the lower bay, where the process of setting sail was begun. The Valkyrie’s method of setting her main- sail was: critically watched by old sailors on vessels near at hand, who seemed much pleased thereby. ‘The method is for a number of men to 0 aloft, take hold of the halyards, which controls the sail, and running off. As fast a8 one man goes down another iakes hold, and in this way the sail is rapidly placed in position. aL 5 ; i »é 2 a g Fat if i Fy i idle (The course in today’s race was south by west, or No. 9 in the above diagram). The Vigilant, looking, as she undoubtedly is, the swiftest sailboat afloat, was the first to leave her anchorage. Her new bow- sprit was in place, and looks, if anything, better spar than her previous one. After it was put in position yesterday Capt. Han- sen took the boat out for a short spin, when the stick was thoroughly tested. It gave entire satisfaction. Only mainsails were set in the Horseshoe, and then the boats proceeded out to the lightship, Vigi- lant leading the way. All night long a wind blew steadily from sixteen to eighteen miles an and there was every indication third and last of the cup races the be as the race of Monday last. Immediately the Vigilant appeared in sight at 8:40 the wind commenced to drop, and has continued do so with disagreeable regularity. Wind in the East. At 10:30 the wind stood about east and barely recorded six miles an hour. The count, who is the recognized weather sharp of this sand dune, however, predicted a favorable change, and 97 per cent of his predictions are said to be worthy of belief. Star steamer Majestic, which passed in 9 this morning, thronged the rails on Had those British officers pacing the bridge of the Majestic in the discharge of their duties appreciated the situation they would not have enthused so unguardedly. Further up the bay the Majestic passed the biack-hulled Valkyrie and salutations were exchanged, colors dipped and Englishmen greeted Englishmen, and their cup of joy seemed complete at the recognition of the courageous representative of the British nation. At 10:30 the usual fleet of excursion steam- ers was observed coming down the upper bay, headed by the St. John, whose regu- larity is proverbial. More than the usual number of people seemed to have taken an outing today, as the decks were well filled and the number of craft fully as large as on the previous days. At 11 o'clock the yachts were hovering about the stakeboats and it looked as if they would make a start, although the action of the wind was discouraging at this point and was little if any better at the lightship. It seemed likely to prove a drifting race. Little Doubt of the Result. ‘This is the third and probably the final day of the international yacht races for the American cup. The decisive victory won by the Vigilant on Monday last on the triangular course has removed whatever doubt might have been entertained as to her superiority in any kind of weather, and the beach-combers and nautical sharks believed that the result of the day's race was @ foregone conclusion. It would be well, however, not to decide the race before it is sailed. The wind is tricky, and with the seamanship of those on both boats ad- mitted to be equally good it would be much the wiser plan to await the finish of the race before naming the victor. It may be that the black-hulled Valkyrie holds « surprise in store for the admirers of the white and phantom-like Yankee ship. The day is an ideal one for the race. At the Lightship. ‘The Vigilant arrived at the light ship under her own sail, having dropped her coming down the bay.
