CARLISLE 18 MORE HOFEFOL. An Attempt to Be Made to Change the Rules. WHY COMPROMISE STOPPED. The situation in the Senate seems today more mixed and embarrassed than it has been yet. The stage has been reached where the principal contention is over the rules, and compromise is again for the moment apparently out of reach. It may be only a seeming set back, but for the time being the fog has got thicker over the Senate. Mr. Carlisle declared to a Senator today that the prospects for unconditional repeal were brighter this morning than they had been at any time during the fight. If by Unconditional repeal he means repeal to take effect some time hereafter, say twenty months or more, a large number of Senators will agree with him. Not so if he means Tepeal to go into effect immediately upon the passage of the bill. Mr. Carlisle's renewed confidence is under- stood to be due to the hope that something !can be done in the way of changing the Tules. There are a number of repeal Sena- tors who think that they see their way to a | change of the rules, and Mr. Hill especially is directing his attention to that question. In the Senate this morning the question of determining the presence of a quorum ex- cited a most interesting discussion, Mr. Hill, during the course of the debate, going fur- ther in support of the system of parliamen- tary practice inaugurated by Mr. Reed in the House than he has heretofore gone and declaring that the presiding officer had a Perfect right to determine the presence of ® quorum by counting those who did not vote. The Vice President's Position. It must be by the adoption of such a prin- ciple as this that the rules are changed, if they can be changed at ail pending this contest. Such a thing could be done only by the action of the Vice President in ac- | cord with the repealers, and it is not be- Ueved that he will permit himself to be classified as favoring one side more than the other in his rulings. , The indications are generally that the speedy settlement compromise expected a day or two ago cannot be brought about, but this does not necessarily mean that no ‘compromise can be had at it means, Father, that there must be yet more fight: ing before anything is done. ‘The test of physical endurance was had to satisfy Mr. Cleveiand that nothing could accomplished in that way. It was thought that after that was done he would not enter any further objections to their settling the matter as best they could. ‘They therefore went at the question on th Unes of a compromise, and were about on the point of agreement, the representative men having got together. Mr. Cleveland’s Proposition. Mr. Cleveland then came in with the Proposition that there was still one more way of reaching a vote that had not been tested, and that @ fight should now be made to secure a change of the rules, or to Feach a yote through parliamentary tac- tics. So the outlook at this hour is for a struggle far some time on that line. With- out rendering the outlook for repeal neces- sarily any better, this situation promises a further prolongation of the fight. ———_—_+o+____ THE PACIFIC RAILROADS, Ex-Gov.

The officials of the War Department will not pass on the case of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles and will pay him his salary as a major genera on the retired list, regardless of the fact that he is also drawing a salary asa member of Congress. The Constitution of the United States provides that a mem- ber of Congress, while serving as such, shall hold no other office under the govern- ment, and the only question presented in this case is whether an officer on the re- tired Ust of the army holds an “office” within the meaning of that provision, Paymaster General Smith’s Action, The question was recently presented to Paymaster General Smith of the army in connection with the usual quarterly pay- ment of Gen. Sickles’ retired pay. After full consideration of the question he has declined to pass upon it, preferring to leave it to the judgment of the accounting officers of the Treasury Department. The payment has been made and tts al- lowance or disallowance will devolve on the second auditor and the second controller, who will pass on the accounts of the pay- master who made the payment. While making no pretense at a decision in the matter, Gen. Smith is inclined to the belief that, as retired officers are not appointed and ‘confirmed and really render no service, but are penstoned for previous services, they do not hold “office within the mean- ing of the constitutional provision. The Action of the Hor a In the case of Gen. Sickles, inasmuch as the House of Representatives, with full knowledge of the situation, established his eligibility for membership, the paymaster general thinks it is not for him to say that Gen. Sickles has forfeited bis right to pay as a retired officer of the army. He has relegated the question to the accountin, officers of the Treasury Department ai they are now called upon to decide the question whether a man who draws pay as @ member of Congress can at the same time draw pay as an officer on the retired lst of the army. ———— SENATOR GIBSON ILL. He Has Another Attack im the Senate Chamber Toduy. Senator Gibson of Maryland was taken suddenly ill this morning in the Senate with another attack of heart trouble. For several days Mr. Gibson was confined to his room at the Shoreham with the same trouble, and only returned to the Senate when the test of physical endurance was inaugurated. He was at that time not well, but remained at his post as long as was advisable. He ap- eared to feel no {ll effects from the siege, Jand has been more or Jess constant in his attendance at the sessions of the Senat since. This morning he was altting at his desk when he suddenly became faint.Touch- ing his colleague, Mr. Gorman, he rose and motioned him to follow, and slowly walked to the cloak room. Inside, Mr. Gibson said he was fainting and asked for a stimulant. ‘This strengthened him and be was able to walk slowly on the arm of Mr. Gorman to the adjoining room of the committee on ap- ‘opriations, where he sat down on one of e large sofas, being unable when selzed with these attacks to assume a reclining Posture. Dr. Strickland was the first to ar- rive and other physicians were hastily sum- moned. This occurred at 12:4 o'clock. Dr. Wa'sh, Mr. Gibson's family physictan, arrived subsequently and said that the Sen- ator’s condition was not serious; he was resting easy when he arrived. It appears that Mr. Gibson has been attending the Senate sessions against the advice of his doctor. Senators Voorhees and Gorman Plead with him not to stay at the Capitol, assuring him they would protect his pair, ard, if need be, make a public statement. But Mr. Gibson worrled over the statements in some of the New York papers accusing him of forsaking the cause of repeal and remained in the chamber, and the results of today followed. At about 2 o'clock the Senator had re- covered sufficiently to be taken to a car- riage and then driven to the Shoreham, His complaint is due largely to his irregularity |tn eating, for he sometim fers many hours to go before he breaks his fast. This | habit is due to his energetic attention to business and his disregard of the need of | system in matters gastronomic. |. Late this afternoon Senator Gibson had | been removed to the Shoreham and was | resting easily. In response to an inquiry at the Shoreham late this afternoon it was stated that the Senator's condition had greatly improved. MR. PHILLIPS’ BILL. How He Proposes to Keep Silver Dol- lars Equal te Gold. Representative Phillips of Pennsylvania is the authcr of the latest proposition to solve the financial question. He represents the twenty-fifth district in the House, and is president of the Citizers’ National Bank of Newcastle, Pa, and largely interested in financial matters. He introduced a bill in the House yesterday to provide for the coinage of silver dollars and to maintain them at par. The most striking feature of the bill fs the provision “that in case the silver dollar at any time declines be- low its face value and ceases to circulate at par the Secretary of the Treasury is then authorized to redeem or exchange for gold said silver dollars on presentation un- til they shall again be current at their face or par value; and to enable, the Secretary of the Tressury to do this and for this pur- pose alone he ts hereby authorized to issue and eell for. gold United States three per centum bonds interest payable semi-annu- ally in gold and the principal payable in gold in twenty years, but such issue shall Rot exceed ten million dollars in any one month nor be more than one hundred mil- lon dollars in all. Incase said sil- ver dollars’ at any time falls below par the receipt of silver _ bullion at the mints and the coinage of silver shall at once cease and not be resumed un- til the silver dollars shall again be freely current at par and until the silver dollars received by the Secretary of the Treasury for gold shall have been by him again paid out and gone into circulation.” The bill repeals the Sherman act and provides that the owner of any silver bullion of stand- ard purity and fineness produced from mines in the United States may deposit it at the mint and receive therefor its market value in silver dollars. It provides for the coinage of seigniorage and the retirement of one and two dollar notes from circula- n. 2+ The Correctness of the Senate Jour- nal Discussed Today. A LIVELY AND INTERESTING DEBATE As to Whether a Senator Shall be +Recorded Present If HE FAILS TO RESPOND. The journal of yesterday having been read, objection to it was made by Mr. Dolph (Ore.) on the ground that it did not show the fact @hat Senators Kyle (8. D.) and Allen (Neb.)—who had not answered to @ roll call, although they were in the chamber—should have been entered as pres- ent although he had at the time called at- tention to the fact. He spoke of the ¢ traordinary spectacle presented by the Sen- ate. It had been in session over ten weeks, with @ democratic majority, and with twen- ty-six republican Senators whowere ready to follow the chairman of the finance com- mittee on any course he might suggest. If Senators could talk indefinitely and could read from books, and newspapers, without limit; and if the Senate was not to amend the rules, they would have to drift down @ current of endless talk without accom- plishing anything. The twenty-six republican Senators who were in favor of the bill would be willl to vote and co-operate with the politic majority in securing some rule to limit de- bate. He knew, and his republican col- leagues knew, that such a rule might be used against them in other measures that were coming up at the present session. The Senate was in a ridiculous attitude. A Senator would suggest the absence of a quorum, and then when the roll was called, he would not answer. Then, if there was no quorum, the chairman of the finance committee would rise and move that the sergeant-at-arms be directed to request th attendance of those absent. And all the time there were Senators present in the chamber who would not an- Swer to their names. He was “tired” of this. It was time that the Senate showed a Uttle backbone. If a Senator refused to vote, he should be dealt with. If a Senator Tefused to answer on the roll call, it was the duty of the chair to order his name to be put on the journal. If the chair did not 0,80, he (lr. "Dolph would appeal to the ate. Mr. Harris (Tenn.) suggested, sarcastical- ly, that if the Senator from Oregon was tired, the best remedy for him was to sit down and rest. It would be a relief to him and a rest to the Senate daughter). He argued that the journal was correct. par pboloh retorted by saying that he the country would do if the Senator, from Tennessee, ‘who Was supposed to embody mentary knowledge, sh 3 “Oh, sald Me. Marcin, “that will doc on whether the survive.” Mr. Butler not having shown “backbone” when he had got to deal, a couple of years ago, with the Rewspaper correspondents on the question of executive sessions, He contended that there was no authority in the presiding otticer to do what the Senator from Oregon wanted him to do. The session would be iy much prolonged if the Senator from regol ul attempt to sigratbllenry rele apply the lash je woul resistance in arte! where he least expected {t. smaaeny Mr. Faulkner (Va.), who was in the chatr last evening when the question was ratsed by Mr. Dolph, defended his ruling, and con- tended that the journal was abso! lutely cor- Tect. There was no power in the presiding officer to count a Senator as present who Fefused to answer to his name. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) said that the journal was accurate in form and substance. He belfeved that the Senate and the country would see, in the end, that it was not pos- sible for a body of eighty-eight men, eighty- eight political leaders, etghty-elght men sharing, and, to some extent, creating the earnest political feeling which precedes all great political questions, to continue much longer under the system of rules which were framed for a body of twenty-six. Mr. Morgan Has the Floor. As the question present@l by Mr. Dolph as to the correctioness of the journal is what is known as a question of privilege, it was not set aside at 1 o'clock, when the hour for morning business ends, and when, under other circumstances, the repeal bill would have been laid before the Senate. The discussion went on beyond that hour, and it is still far from a close, as Mr. Morgan (Ala.) has the floor and has had it for the Jast hour. He dealt some hard blows,at Mr. Hill of New York, because of Mr. Hill's advocacy of the right to have entered on the journal the names of Sen- ators present and not responding. That eresy"” Mr. Morgan said had been intro- duced when Mr. Hill was president of the New York Senate. He had also sharp tilts with Mr. Washbum (Minn.) and Mr. Gray @el.). “The coalition between republican and democratic Senators on the silver bill was similar, he said, to the coalition on the Mahone and Riddleberger controversy. Mr. Washburn denied that there was any coa- Ution and was told by Mr. Morgan that he had not had him in his mind at all, not re- garding him as one of the republican lead- ers. He announced his intention of mak- ing a crucial test on an amendment to re- peal the whole (not a part) of the Sherman act. In a stage whisper Mr. Hoar remarked that that would be a good compromise, and Mr. Cullom asked Mr. Morgan whether he would vote for it himself. He said he would. ————_- + -____ Imports and Exports.

Voorhees Says There is No Thought of Compromise—Others Say Taat is the Only Hope. The “Senate situation” was discussed in an informal way at the meeting of the finance committee of the Senate this morn- ing, but nothing came of the talk; and when, an hour later, the committe adjourn- ed, each Senator was as firmly entrenched in his position as when he went to the com- mittee room. Senator Voorhees denied that the conditions had changed, and expressed his belief that repeal was’ sure to come; while Mr. Harris and, it is said, Mr. Alli- son also, declared their belief that compro- mise was the only solution to the problem. Mr. Allison said he had stayed here long enough, and notified his colleagues that he would jeave in a day or two for his home in Iowa. After ordering reports made on Mr. Peffer’s resolution directing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to notify the Senate how certain New York banks were con: ducting their business, and Mr. Stewart's resolution of inquiry as to the probability of a deficiency in the revenues for the cur- Tent year, the committee adjourned. During ‘the talk Mr. Voorhees took oc- ¢asion to put into words what has been be- leved to be the attitude of the President for some days past. He said—and made no concealment of the fact that he spoke by authority—that there could be no compro- mise in which either himself or the admin- istration could be considered as a factor. ‘The administration. continued Mr. Voor- hes, was urging a contest for a great prin- ciple, and would not give one inch even if ‘the Senate was kept here week in and week out. For himself, he belleved that uncondi- tiopal repeal would ultimately come, and he reasserted the statements previously made by him on the floor that the fight had Just begun. ‘The Republican Attitude.

ARRIVAL OF ADMIRAL AVELAN, He and His Companions Greeted With Cheering. SHOWERED WITH FLOWERS. PARIS, Oct. 17.—After what may be term- }ed @ triumphal tour from Toulon Admiral Avelan, commander of the Russian squad- Ton, and the fifty officers of the fleet ac- companying him, artived here at 9:17 o'clock this morning. At an early hour people gathered about the Gare de Lyon, the railway station at which the nation’s guests were to arrive. The square between the station and the Mazas prison was packed with a dense mass of humanity long before the time for the ar- | Tival of the train. The crowd extended up the Boulevard Diderot as far as the Avenue Daumnesnie and down as far as the river Seine. The Rue de Bercy, the Rue de Lyon and the transverse streets in the vicinity were also filled with enthusiastic crowds, all eager to give the Russians a true Parisian welcome. | When the train was seen approsching the | station the crowds began to sing the Rus- sian anthem. Only a few of those present could sing the words, but nearly all knew |the air, and the volume of sound was tremendous, thoygh musical. The Mazas prison was hidden from view by an im- mense platform that extended its whole length and which was packed with people. As the Russians officers appeared the crowd causing the democratic repealers some con- | cern. Some light has been thrown upon this | attitude by Mr. Sherman, who, if all reports | ceased singing and shouts of “Long live Russia,” “Long live the czar,” were heard often wondered what the Senate and/in words, that the question could best be janswered by democrats, upon whom had “that will depend | (8.

He is credited with having said the republicans had no suggestions to offer in the way of compromises and would, re- gardless of what their views might be, leave the matter severely alone, permitting the democrats to work out their own re- sults, the republicans, however, being ready at all times to vote for the unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act, ‘The object of the revenues of the govern- ment were discussed and the statement made by democratic members of the com mittee that they were shrinking rapidl; Mr. Sherman was asked what should be done to replenish the exhausted treasury, and is said to have replied in effect, if not ‘been placed by the people the responsibiti- ties of government. Mr, Sherman’s attitude brought to the minds of his democratic col- leagues the conviction that the repeal of the Sherman law and the enactment of such legislation as might be necessary to bulid | up the treasury were now considered by re- Publicans us purely partisan matters, in which they would take no part until the questions came up for debate on the floor of the Senate. —_—_--—____ A Boundary Commission. ‘The State Department is informed that Signor Don Jose Canalico has been ap- pointed commissioner of Mexico, to estab- lish a boundary between Mexico and the United States. ——___+ e-+-—___ Troops Will Remain.

Secretary Herbert has recommended that Congress make provision for a suitable monument to be erected in a cemetery at Valparaiso over the graves of the American sailors who were killed in the battle be- tween Capt.

Mr. Herbert says that “for the honor and dignity of a grate- ful country I trust there will be no difficul- ty im procurirg from Congress the legisla- me for the rearing of @ suitable memor- on every side. The women present were as eager as the men to welcome the distin- guished guests and their shrill voices could be distinctly heard above the roar @f the welcoming cries. A Wildly Enthusiastic Welcome. It may truthfully be said that despite the assertion that the Parisians would keep calm during the visit of the Russians a more wildly enthusiastic greeting has never in recent years been extended to the repre- sentatives of any nation. It is an ovation of which any men might be proud. Amid the cheering crowd that surged | about the entrance to the station the Rus- |sians, resplendent in full uniforms, passed, | bowing right and left, their faces wreathed |in smiles as they beheld the enthusiasm of | the populace. Carriages were taken at the | station and the party were driven through | the Rue de Lyon to the Place de la Bastile. | Here they passed under a magnificent tri- | umphal arch that spanned the place, thence | to the Church of the Madeleine. ‘The whole route was lined with specta- tors, who were almost frantic in thelr ex- pressions of welcome. The decorations along the route were beautiful, and appropriate mottoes were displayed from every point of vantage. The tricolor of France and the white flag, with the blue cross of Russia, were everywhere seen, and the combination of these colors | presented very beautiful effects. Showered With Flowers. Before the guests had proceeded very far on their drive their open carriages were almost filled with the many bouquets that were thrown and handed to them. A large squad of cavalry accompanied the Russians. ‘The program for today includes @ break- fast at the Military Club. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Admiral Avelan and his party will be received at the palace of the Elysee by President Car- not. This evening a state dinner and ball will be given at the palace. The day Is being observed as a holiday by thousands of workmen, not only in Paris, but in the suburban towns. Many excur- sion trains were run during the day, and euch brought hundreds of workmen to the city. ‘Men were at work all night completing the work of decorating the city, and this morn- ing it may be said that Paris has never be- fore been so lavishly covered with artistic decorations. Near the Gare de Lyon was erected a triumphal arch built in imitation of the entrance of the Russian Church. This arch particularly attracted the atten- tion of the Russians and drew many favor- able cominents from them, Thousands of people, after the Russians had passed, thronged ‘the streets admiring the decorations, that, in many instances, were truly works of art. The most lavish and most tasty treatment was displayed In the Place de L’Opera, the Place de La Con- corde, and the Place de L’Hotel de Ville.

BRIGHTON, Mass, Oct. 17.—A herd of forty Texas steers stampeded yesterday while being driven from the Brighton stock- yards to the abattoir, and dashed with lowered heads and snorting nostrils down Market street. The drivers were unable to control them and help was summoned from the abattoir. A party of mounted riflemen came to the rescue and the steers were headed off and shot wherever they could be found. The herd had, however, scattered in the direction of Watertown and Cambridge, and last night, when the men were obliged to give up the chase, ten of the dangerous cattle were at Hberty.
