Detective Henry Lacy was sworn and he produced a bottle containing a light colored tatxture, which he said he got at Dr. Hick- ling’s drug store on Pennsylvania avenue. He also produced what he said purported to be a prescription. This, he said, was given to him by Inspector Hollinberger, with an order to have it filled if possible. ‘When he went to the drug store and pre- sented the prescription the druggist ques- tioned him about it. He told him about Dr. Leon, telling the druggist he had just seen the doctor. The druggist, he said, filled the small bottle from a large blue bottle on one of the shelves, and, handing it to him, sak “Take a tablespoonful three times a day. Witness started out and the druggist called him back and asked for the money. He paid him 7 cents for the prescription and then Detective Weedon entered the store and had a conversation with the druggist.

Y., Nov. 1—The political situation in this state is anomalous this year. It is the first time since the days of Tilden that any considerable portion of the democratic electors have been arrayed against a candidate on the democratic ticket. The opposition within the democratic party is directed against Judge Maynard, and it fs practically against him alone that the republican campaign is directed. The republican leaders themselves are free to admit the futility of trying to win tn a state which has a normal democratic plu- rality of 40,000, when there is no evidence of internal dissensions which imperil demo- erate ascendancy. The only dissension in the democratic party this year is over the judicial nominee. On all the other candidates there is hearty and unequivocal unanimity, and it seems probable at this writing that the democratic candidates on the state ticket will be elected. With the judicial nominee it is different. While Judge Maynard has the advantage of having an organization behind him which rolled up a plurality of 48,000 for Flower, he has the extreme disadvantage of being op- posed by the detached members of the reg- ular organization, and by this is meant democrats who have worked faithfully for the success of the democratic candidates, but who are not part of the machine, and the “mugwump” or independent element which uniformly hitherto has supported the organization candidates. The leaders of the democratic machine counted on this alienation when they nom- imated Judge Maynard, but they did not truly estimate its force” They did not Se- Neve that the opposition to Maynard after | his nomination would be so active and aggresive. They are, therefore, surprised at the storm of disapproval sent up by the anti-Maynardites of New York and Brook- lym and at the wonderfully complete and hearty organization to secure his defeat effected by the so-called “Home Rule Dem- ecrats of Erie County,” led by Herbert P. Bissell, Franklin D. Locke, Edwin Fleming and George Bleistein. These demonstrations are having an ef- fect upon the democratic voters, who say Little and think much, but the numerical strength of the opposition is very indeti- nite. A member of the democratic executive campaign committee stated to The Star correspondent yesterday that he estimated the anti-Maynard vote in the democratic ranks at 8,0. He places the principal strength of the opposition in New York, Kings and Erie counties. While even this is more liberal than some other estimates given, it is believed that it does not cover the total defection. Monroe county ts quiet politically, but the feeling against Maynard is intense. The sentiment against Judge Maynard also pervades the country counties, and many voters counted safely democratic now will scratch his name at the polls. sential weakness of the anti-Ma; is the lack of any independent «democratic mominee about whom the disaffected voters could rally.

A Score Drowned in an Electric Oar Disaster. RAN THROUGH AN OPEN DRAW BRIDGE. Heroism Displayed by the Motor- man THECONDUCTOR’S STATEMENT PORTLAN?>, Mre., Nov. L—An electric car on the Oregom City line, containing about thirty passengers, went through an open drawbridge at Madison street this morning, falling into the Carpin river. A very heavy fog prevailed at the time of the accident, and it was undoubtedly due to this that the car took its fatal plunge to the bottom of the river. It is now reported that at least twenty- five persons lost their lives. Rescuers are hard at work, but much difficulty is being encountered in finding the bodies of the victims. One body has been brought up. The water cannot be seen from the bridge, as the fog is so thick. A United Press representative inter- viewed both the conductor and the motor- man of the electric car. The conductor said: “The register of cash fares is in the car which is now lying at the bottom of the river. Many commuta- tion and transfer tickets are punched by a hand punch, so there is no means of knowing how many passengers were act- ually on the car at the time of the acci- dent, but I estimate the total number at | about twenty.” The motorman stayed with the car as long as possible and had a very narrow escape for his own life. He has just sub- | scribed to an affidavit, f 2 Pee eens BORROWED THREE MILLIONS. The B. and O. Railway Company Suc- cessful in Its Negotiations. BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.—The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has borrowed $3,000,000 foreign capital, to be used by the rcad as its necessities require. Friends of the company on this side are gratified that such a large sum is at the disposal of the company, ss it will be enabled to carry on its policy of extension and expanding in tributary territory without cramping the operation of any of the lines now in use. | _ Negotiations for this loan have been pend- | ing for several months. They were opened | about the time the business depression was | mest severely felt in the United States, and wken there was great difficulty in satis- | factorily placing bonds of any description on the market. The matter was pressed by the officers of the company and its friends in London until a syndicate was formed which has advanced the amount asked. The money is now in the company’s treasury. The loan was obtained by the placing in London of the bonds of the subsidiary lines which the Baltimore and Ohio company is building and supporting in Ohio, western Pennsylvania and other points. One of the terms of the deposit of these bonds in the hands of the English syndi- cate is that the holders shall have the op- | tion of purchasing them, if they so desire, before the maturity of the notes on which the loan has been obtained. ——._—_. JIMMY CARROLL DEAD. End of the Criminal Who Robbed Banks for Twenty Years. NEW YORK, Nov. 1—“Jimmy” Carroll, the bank robber, died tn Chicago last Sun- day. “Jimmy” Carroll turned his talents entirely to bank robbing. Twenty years ago he worked with “Johnnie” Hope and the others who robbed the Manhattan Bank in this city. But it was with coun- try banks that he met the greatest success. Ten years ago Carroll, Paddy Guerin, Ed- die Guerin and others robbed a Galesburg, TiL,bank of $20,000. He escaped arrest for four years and was finally taken by Chief Harrigan of St. Louis. Carroll escaped by jumping from a train, but was again taken and served his sen- tence. In 1873 he robbed the States Saving Institution Bank of Chicago of $30,000. He just anticipated President Spencer, who subsequently robbed the same bank of $500,000 and fled to Belgium. In 1878 Carroll, “Billie’ Burke and Tom Bigelow entered an Atlanta, Ga. jewelry store and stole $4,500 worth of diamonds. They were ar- rested in Chicago, but the case was com- promised for $2,500. Carroll next stole $15,000 in a clever way. The cashier of the Lachine canal exten- sion made monthly trips from Montreal, Canada, carrying the money for his hands in a valise. Carroll and a pal had a dupli- cate valise made and succeeded in substi- tuting it. Carroll was arrested later and offered to compromise for $10,000, but the offer was refused. Carroll was about fifty years old. He lived all his life on his steal- ings, which would have made him a wealthy man had he not spent them all. gama surad einen CONCENTRATING ON RICHMOND. Virginia Populists Making a Great Fight at the Capital. Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 1—It seems that the populists are now concentrating all of their strength in this city. This is a most remarkable move on their part, considering the fact that it is con- ceded that they have next to no following }in the cities of the states, especially in Richmond. It is said this morning that Chairman Pearson of the populist state committee is | exceedingly anxious to reduce the demo- | cratic majority in this city, which will be | panacea for possible defeat at large. At a big populist rally in this city last | night Judge Kerr of Colorado made a most | remarkable reference to Senator Voorhees | of Indiana. In excoriating the cause of the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash” he com- pared him to Judas Iscariot to the latter's | credit. | ‘There were quite a number of white men at this meeting and Judge Kerr’s reference to Mr Voorhees, who is a great favorite in this city for ‘his staunch allegiance to the south during the “dark days of reco: struction,” precipitated a good deal of ac verse criticism in the streets of the cits this morning. The populists will hold another big rally in this city tomorrow night, when Gen. Thos. L. Rosser, the recent convert to pop- ulism, and Representative Lafe Pence of Colorado will speak. Col. O’Ferrall charges | Mr. Pence with being the paid attorney | of a Colorado silver mine, which has dam- | aged the orator’s influence in the city and state as well.

After the reading and approval of yester- day’s journal in the Senate several bills were favorably reported from committees and placed on the calendar. Mr. Carey reported a bill from the com- mittee on public lands donating to the county of Laramie, Wyo., certain bridges on the abandoned Fort Laramie military reservation, and in committee of the whole the bill was agreed to and passed by the Senate. A joint resolution was reported by Mr. Gray (Del.), from the committee on for- eign relations, to provide for printing the history and digests of international arbi- trations to which the United States was a party. Mr. Gray said it would be a valu- able history, and asked that it be passed. The bill was passed. Amendments to the Rules. Mr. Hill (N.Y.) offered two amendments to the rules and asked their reference to | the committee on rules, The first was: “Re- solved, That subdivision 2 of rule 6 of the standing rules of the Senate be, and the | Same is, hereby amended so as to read as follows: “If at any time during the daily sessions of the Senate a question shall be raised by | any Senator as to the presence of a quorum | the presiding officer shall forthwith direct the secretary to call the roll and shail an- |mounce the result, and these proceedings | Shall be without debate; but no Senator, | While speaking, shall be interrupted by any | other Senator raising the question of the | lack of a quorum, and the question as to the | Presence of a quorum shall not be raised oftener than once in every hour; but this | provision shall not apply where the absence , of a quorum is disclosed upon any roll call of the yeas and nays.” The second amendment was as follows: “Resolved, that rule five of the standing rules of the Senate be, and the same is, hereby amended by adding at the end there- of the following: Whenever upon any roll any Senator who is present within the Senate chamber refuses to make response when his name shall be called, it shall be the duty of the presiding officer, elther on his own motion or upon the suggestion of any Senator, to request the Senator so re- maining silent to respond to his name, and if such Senator fails to do so, the fact of such request and refusal shall be entered in the journal and such Senator shall be count- ed as present for the purpose of making a quorum.” The Chinese Bill. Mr. Hoar gave notice that he would call it up tomorrow, and at 1:20 o’clock the real business of the day began, when Mr. Gray brought up the Chinese bill and spoke in favor of the extension of the time in which its provisions should go into effect. He said there were many Chinese in the prisons of California who were held there because there was not money enough available to deport them and because the provisions of the act did not allow of their liberation on The bill was temporarily laid aside while the Senate passed the joint resolution changing the method (from writing to printing) of engrossing and enrolling bills and resolutions. Mr. Gray (Del.) then proceeded to speak upon the Chinese bill. Mr. Gray spoke in support of the bill, pointing out the pitiable condition of the Cninese in California jails. Mr. Hawley (Conn.) spoke in the same line, and Mr. Paimer (Ill) opposed the bill be- cause it denied the Chinese the right of A National Conservatory of Music. A resolution of interest to the District was introduced by Mr. Hunton (Va) to authorize the formation of a national con- servatory of music at Washington. The resolution was ordered to the committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) presented a memorial from Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross asking the assist- ance of Congress for the relief of the suf- ferers of the cyclone at the Sea Islands — on the coasts of South Carolina and ¢ Mr. Turple (Ind.) created somewhat of a stir by objecting, but he afterward with- drew his objection. ——_.—____ CAPITOL TOPICS, Committee on Patents. : The House committee on patents has de- cided to adversely report the bill intro- duced by Mr. Davis of Kansas reducing to seven years the lifetime of a patent. An adverse report was also ordered on the bill of Mr. Lacey of lowa giving the United States the right to terminate and cancel letters of patent at any time by special act, allowing not less than $25,000 or more than $100,000 to compensate the inventor or his assignees. The bill introduced by Mr. Heard of Mis- souri to amend the patent laws so to provide better protection for innocent users of patented articles is the order of business for the next meeting. Bridge Bi Passed. The New York and New Jersey bridge bill, which was fought with considerable bitterness in the Senate yesterday, was passed late in the afternoon without a di- vision, The yeas and nays, however, were ordered on the amendment of Senator Mc- Pherson, which proposed to place this bridge on the same basis as that of the North River Bridge Company, which is compelled to span the river without a pier. This bill gives the company the right to place one pier in the river, and thus breaks the span in half. On this vote the yeas were 17 and the nays 27. Senator Frye took an active part in the debate, protesting against the erection of the pier. Mr. Mc- Pherson made a long speech in favor of his amendment. Senator Gray made an effort to have the Chinese bill taken up toward the close of the day, but yielded to permit an executive session. National Conservatory. Senator Hunton today introduced a bill to provide for a site for the National Con- servatory of Music of America in this city. A similar bill was introduced by Senator Gibson in December, 1891, but failed of passage. The bill provides that the Secre- tary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Interior and the president of the board of District Commissioners shall constitute a commission to select such a site in or upon any of the government lands situated within the District. The title to the land shall be vested in the National Conservatory, with- out any power, however, to grant or con- vey it away. The bill was referred to the District committee. Presidential Nominations. The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: William B. Anderson of Illinois, to be pension agent at Chicago. George Harper of Georgia, to be agent for the Indians of the Umatilla agency in Oregon. David F. Day of Colorado, to be agent for the Indians of the Southern Ute agency in Colorado. Henry J. Dawes of Massachusetts, Mere- dith H. Kidd of Indiana and Archibald S. McKennon of Arkansas, to be commission- ers to negotiate with the five civilized tribes, under the provisions of act of Con- gress approved March 3, 1893. First Lieut. George F. Cooke, fifteenth infantry, to be captain. Second Lieut. Marcus Maxwell, fifteenth infantry, to be first iteutenant. Postmasters—Norris C. Bachellor at La Crosse, W Wm. D. Merrill at Prairie Du Chien, Wis.; Winfield E. Tripp at Iron River, Wis. + e+ A Receiver Asked for. The Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Com- pany, by John C. Fay, this morning filed a bill against R. J. Kennedy, F. A. Kennedy et al. for the appointment of a receiver, ete. The bill states up to September last R. J. Kennedy was engaged in the coal business and had a number of contracts with the departments, etc.; that he purchased be- tween May last and September 2,471 tons of coal, costing $7,995.20, on which but $1,- 560.85 has been paid, and charges that on September 16 said R. J. Kennedy, for the purpose of hindering the enforcement of claims, gave a bill of sale to his brother, F. A. Kennedy, who well knew that his brother was insolvent, and it was without consideration. They pray that the collec- tion of amounts due Kennedy on contracts be enjoined, the bill of sale set aside and a receiver appointed. [REPEAL NOW A FACT. Amendments Are Concurred in by the House. SILVER MEN HAD T0 YIELD. Some Fillibustering, but It Was Checked by Mr. Crisp. Senate FREE COINAGE DEFEATED. The silver controversy in its last stages having been transferred to the House, there was quite a large attendance both on the floor and in the galleries at the noon hour of meeting. The opening prayer was made by the prospective chaplain, Rev. EF. B. Bagby of the city of Washington, and the first act of the House after the reading of the journal was the adoption of a reso- lution electing him as chaplain, and he immediately took the oath of office. The New York bridge bill, with the Sen- ate amendments, as passed in the Senate yesterday, was laid before the House, and on motion of Mr. Dunphy (N. Y.) the amendments were non-concurred in and a conference was asked. Messrs. Geary (Cal.), Bartlett (N. Y.) and Fletcher (Minn.) were appointed. The Repeal Bill Up. The silver purchase repeal bill, with the Senate amendments, was laid before the House, and the Senate substitute was read. Mr. Wilson (W. Va.), who has charge of the bill, moved to concur in the Sena | amendment, and on that motion he moved |the previous question. He assured the friends of silver that he had no desire to | press for a vote immediately after the lapse | of the half hour which would be allowed | for debate on the seconding of the previous question. If the previous question could be considered as secondary he was perfectly willing that the half hour might be ex- tended to such reasonable time today as ps be desired for debate—say to 8 or 8:30 oc Mr. Bland Wants the Regular Order. Mr. Bland, who leads the opposition, said that he had no disposition to delay the final vote on the bill. He hoped, however, that its friends would permit it to come up in regular order and be debated in a regular way. The gentleman in charge of the bill had a majority with him and could, under the rules of the House, move the previous question at any time. He did not see the necessity of his demanding the previous question on this occasion. It seemed to him that the gentleman from West Virgin! should let the debate go on, and when he thought or when the House thought that the debate had gone far enough he could move the previous question, Mr. Wilson’s Ex mation. Mr. Wilson said that the reason he felt compelled to ask the previous question be now ordered was that if he permitted the bill to go to debate the way would be opened for all sorts of amendments, and that he would lose control of it. Mr. Stockdale (Miss.) asked whether or not there were any rights on this floor ex- cept to friends of the bill. He recognized that he and his friends were in the hands of the gentleman from West Virginia, and that whatever they secured was by his grace. Mr. Bryan asked Mr. Wilson if the reason why the demand for the previous question Was insisted upon was that the House would not be permitted to vote upon amendments. Mr. Wilson replied that was one reason. Mr. Bryan said he wanted the journal to show that fact. Mr. Livingston (Ga.) said to Mr. Wilson that if Mr. Bland would not accept a propo- sition to extend.debate to 4 o'clock he would. (Laughter.) Mr. Wilson—Does the gentleman from ot (Mr, Bland) accept my proposi- tion Mr. Bland—I accept no proposition, Mr. Speaker, except that the House proceed in the regular way. Mr. Wilson—Then I must insist on my demand for the previous question. Filibustering Commences. ‘The Speaker was proceeding to put the question when Mr.Bryan moved to adjourn. Lost—26 to 130, Mr. Snodgrass (Tenn.) moved that the House take a recess until 3 p.m. Lost—zl to 19L An effort was made to secure the yeas and nays on a motion by Mr. Bryan that when the House adjourn it be until Friday, but only twenty-eight members rose—not a sufficient number. Another motion by Mr. Bryan to adjourn Was voted down—23 to 185. Then Mr. Snodgrass moved a recess until ll_a.m. tomorrow. This received but ten affirmative votes. While these proceedings were being had the spectators in the galleries increased in number until they were nearly filled at a quarter to 1. The filibusterers were un: ble to muster a sufficient number of mem- bers to call for the yeas and nays, and they were restricted to varying forms of the motion to take a recess and to adjourn. Finally Mr. Wells (Wis.) arose and, getting recognition from the chair, asked: The Committee on Rules. Hasn't the committee on rules got a ready-made order that will operate in this case? He received no response but a burst of laughter. In a moment or two Mr. Henderson (owa) addressed the chair. The Speaker—For what purpose does the gentleman rise? Mr. Henderson—I rise to make a motion. I move that the House take a recess for thirty minutes in order that the five czars, cerstituting the committee on rules, may retire and prepare an order that will put a stop to this time-dishonored foolishness. The Speaker—The chair declines to put the motion. Mr. Reed (Maine) rose to protest against this ruling, but did not press the point. The weary rounds of motions to adjourn, to adjourn to a day certain and to take recess still continued, with no relief in prospect except an order from the commit- tee on rules, The Speaker's Action. At 1:15 the Speaker took the reins in his hand, and, heedless of interruptions by Mr. Bailey and Mr. Snodgrass, put the motion | on the demand for the previous question and declared it carried. Mr. Wilson, reserving his time, said he hoped that if the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) desired to occupy fifteen min- utes he could do so now. To Revive the Act of 1837. Mr. Bland, taking a stand in the center of the democratic side, presented his amend- ment to revive the act of 1837 providing for free coinage, which was read at the des! He said that the moneyed interests of the country, to force the pending legislation, had precipitated a panic. The democratic party in previous contests had stood almost solidly in favor of unlim- ited coinage of silver. He offered the amend- ment as the platform upon which the dem- ocratic party of the west and south would make its fight in the future. A nucleus for the party to rally around upon that plat- form existed in the little band who had made the fight for silver in Congress the past three months, and he predicted that the hosts so rallying would be triumphant in the end. With the revival of free coin- age, prosperity would return, and we can afford to wait. All the legislation forced before the Congress, Mr. Bland asserted, had been a stock jobbing operation, and it was but right, in his opinion, that stocks should fall as the result of it. He congratu- lated the Representatives who had stood by him and by the interests of the people of their districts. He hoped that the people would stand by them. What Mr. Bryan Says. Mr. Bryan said that no proof had been produced of the assertion that the demo- cratic platform demanded the repeal of the Sherman law. The Sherman repeal bill of July, 1892, and the Wilson bill of August, 1893, were identical. “You may prefer to follow the leadership of John Sherman,” he said, “and call it democratic, but so help me God, until he is converted to the true principles of finance, I shail not fol- low him and call it either democratic or honest.” (Applause.) Mr. Bryan said it was apparent that the democratic platform did not mean what the people thought it did, or that those who made it did not intend to carry into effect its declarations. An effort was made by Mr. Pence (Col.) to.get upenimous consent far Mr. Bryan to continue ten minutes, waite (Ohio) objected. Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) in a two-minute speech deplored the action about to be taken, but asserted that the democrats in the future would be found united in sup- port of democratic principles and policies. Mr. Springer (ill.) said he did not know whether the panic had been precipitated as @ stock jobbing operation or not, but he did know that a crisis was upon the coun- try, which the passage of this bill would avert. Mr. Livingstone (Ga.) said he was op- posed to the pending bill, because it would enhance the purchasing power of money and depress prices of agricultural products. He was opposed to it for the further rea- bill left the settlement of the question of the use of silver as money to an interna- tional agreement. “I cannot agree,” he said, “to submit the destinies of this coun- try to the representatives of any European power. I think it a shame that the Ameri- can Congress should pass a bill containing such a declaration.” Mr. Reed’s Remarks. Mr. Reed (Me.) said he had told Mr. Bryan some time ago that he would learn the difference between promise and per- formance by the democrats when he came to test the matter. He had no doubt the country was better off whenever the dem- ocratic party disappointed it. The trouble with the country, Mr. Reed said, lay deeper than the money panic. It was due to doubt as to the policy of the democratic party upon the tariff, and he expected great manufacturing depression to follow this winter, despite the passage of the bill. Messrs. Tracey (N.Y.) and Wilson (W.Va.) closed the debate by brief speeches, the lat- ter saying that the effects of the bill could only be demonstrated by experience. He believed that they would be beneficial, and that the friends of the measure woulé be written down in history as wise statesmen and friends of the people. At 1:55 the Speaker put the question on Mr. Bland’s motion to recoramit the bill, with instructions to add its amendment reviving the free coinage act of 1837. Mr. Bland’s Motion Defeated. Mr. Bland’s motion to recommit the bill was defeated by a vote of 109 to 175.

Mr. Bry: ‘ss Statement. Mr. Bryan was then given permission to make a statement. He said that recog- nizing the fact that there were too few opponents of the bill to make filibustering effective he would not further oppose its passage; if any good result could be se- cured he would gladly refuse to vote, if thereby he could prevent what he believed to be the commission of a crime against his people. In conclusion he warned the Promotors of the bill to be aware of the consequences, which he hoped would not be of the nature he feared, and predicted that the American people would, when they came to express themselves upon this ques- tion, send a majority to the House and to the Senate who believed that this coun- try is big enough to legislate for itself. (Applause.) ‘The Vote on the Bill. The motion was then put on concurring in the Senate amendment. The yeas and nays being ordered at 2:27, the calling of the roll was begun. The Amendments Concurred In. ‘The Senate amendments to the repeal bill were concurred in. Yeas, 191; nays, 9. a re ANNOUNCED IN THE SENATE. The Clerk of the House Te! Concurrence. At 3:10 the clerk of the House appeared in the Senate and announced the concur- rence of the House in the Senate amend- ment to the repeal. CAUGHT NAPPING. of the How the Filibusters Were Worsted by the Speaker. The Voorhees repeal bill was laid before the House this morning and was immedi- ately the signal for filibustering, very weakly supported by some of the silver men. The bill was laid before the House about 12:10 o'clock, and Mr. Wilson moved to concur in the Senate amendment and on that demanded the previous question. This demand was immediately provocative of a fire of questions from all sides. Mr. Wilson stated that he had no objection to a lmit- ed amount of debate in five-minute speeches, but that he did not wish to yield to any unnecessary delay. He signified a willing- ness to come to some understanding when a vote should be had, but those silver men who were disposed to obstruct were not willing to come to any agreement and im- mediately began to filibuster. The filibustering was conducted by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Snodgrass. Nearly every member of Congress who was able to be present was in his seat and consequently there was considerably more than a quo- rum and no trouble on that score. There was a general indication of impatience of any delay and even the silver men were loath to go into any dilatory program. A series of motions to adjourn, to take a recess, to adjourn to a day set, to take a recess until an hour set, were made al- ternately by Mr. Bryan and Mr. Snodgrass, who rang the changes continuously on these motions. They were deY-ated on each motion, and demanded each time the yeas and nays and tellers, but did not have suf- ficient following to order either, their fol- lowing ranging from seventeen to twenty- three. This form of filibustering was con- tinued to a quarter after one, many motions having been put and defeated. At that time the two gentlemen who were conducting the filibustering got into a conversation as to the order of motions while there was no motion pending, except that of Mr. Wilson, for the previous ques- tion. As quick as a flash and before the filibusters realized the position in which they had placed themselves, the Speaker put the question on Mr. Wilson’s motion and it was carried and the result announced while Messrs. Bryan and Snodgrass stood by in astonishment. There was no protest, however, since the action of the Speaker was entirely proper, there being no reason why he should whit for them to make fresh motions and there was nothing before the House. e+ In order to save distance the termites often construct bridges from one gallery to another.

BROKERS LOOK FOR HIGHER PRICES. Many Old Patrons Returning to Wall Street. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 1—The lack of any pressure to sell and the presence of a few buying orders resulted in a strong opening in today’s stock market. The improvement varied from 1-8 to 1 per cent and was evenly distributed throughout the list. London’s holiday restricted operations to some extent, but foreign houses are of the opinion that the selling movement from that side is about exhausted. While foreign markets are at present unsettled in view of the probable tightening in money rates, in- dications point conclusively to a probable increase in investment buying of our better class of securities, Yesterday's selling by short-waisted bulls will have a good effect on prices and rid speculative circies of an extremely demor- alizing element. Loaning rates for active stocks are now carefully watched by shrewd operators, as indicating the extent of the short interest. These added charges for carrying ran up during the day as high as 2 per cent, mak- ing short selling extremely expensive and probably unprofitable. Commission houses uniformly favor the long side of the market and advise purchases on all concessions. The continual appearance of interests that have, until recently, held aloof from Wall street, is one of the encouraging features of the present situation. Re-enforcements, both of men and money, are daily coming into the market and taking an active part in the proceedings, which must eventually result in improvement and activity. Western Union is now the most active stock in the regular list and finds consider- able support around § and seems to be one point below that figure. The revenues of the company are mending rap- idly from the effects of the general depres- sion throughout the country and will soon be reflected in the price of the stock. Among other prominent features of the Gay were Northwest, which gained 1 per cent to 101-2; Missouri Pacific gained 11-4 per cent to 371-2, Manhattan sold up to 133, a gain of 13-8 per cent, and Lacka- wanna advanced 31-4 per cent to 172. Sugar again led the advance in the in- dustrials, both as to the volume of business and the extent of the improvement, selling up to 1013-4, a gain of 21-4 per cent from the opening. Chicago Gas gained 1 per cent to 661-4, and Distillers gained a sim- ilar amount to 331-4. The market developed a tendency toward dullness during the afternoon, but prices held well in spite of the neglect. Owing to a tightening in the London dis- count rate it is probable that the bank rate will be increased at tomorrow's meet- ing of the board of governors. Posted ad for sterling were reduced to 481 1-2a Call money was quooted at 2 per cent and time accommodations were unchanged 5 and 6 per cent. Exchanges at the clearing house agere- Gated $104,621,071, balances $5,701,463, and the subtreasury’s debt balance $533,658. The loan committee canceled the last $400,090 of the artificial currency known as clearing house certificates and balances once more will be settled in cash. The best prices of the day were recorded in the last hour on good buying by the room. The London Market. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.

A Phrase Invented and Used by Senator Turpie Senator Turpig today invented a new phrase that is an appropriate echo of the great silver battle that has just closed in the Senate. He also contributed to a very amusing sceve that enlivened the morn- ing hour considerably. It seems that a few days ago Senator Turpie asked unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of a bill and Senator Hoar saw fit to object. The Hoosier statesman said nothing, but Stored the fact away for future reference. His cpportunity for revenge came today, when Senator Hoar presented a bill ap- Propriating $0,000 for the purpose of eiving work to the inhabitants of the South Caro- lina Sea Islands that were devastated by the August cyclone. With It was a me- morial from Miss Clara Barton, president: of the Red Cross Association and a neigh- bor of Mr. Hoar, when they are both at home in Worcester. “Mr. President, i object,” suddenly came from Senator Turpie. Senator Hoar beamed a; his glasses at the Senator one the otis side, who was visibly angry. He said that he hoped there would be no objection, as the mall — 20.000 persons who are stary- ra and every hour’s delay may cost a human life. iad _— day I presented a measure quite as importan responded Senator Turpie excitedly, “and the Senator from Massachusetts saw fit to object. J have as much right to object now as he had then. ;1 do not wish to cause any suffering to any one, but I am going to protect my | rights.” Then he sat down in a way that | Presaged ill for the pease of the gentle- man from Massachusetts. The latter edged his way down to the front and said: | “I am not going down on my knees to the Senator from Indiana to ask his per- | don or to apologize, but I hope he will let | the bill go through.” “I did not ask any one to go down on his knees, certainly not the Senator from Massachusetts,” snapped back the In- dianian. jumped Senator Cockrell into the ri and interposed an objection to the secont reading of the bill, in order to refieve the Personal strain. Then Senator Turpie arose — said: “I have no other motive in object: — Wome the parity of courtesy be ween two sides of the chamber,” and the Senate howled. Senator Hoar had the bill read, however, and went on to eulogize Miss Barton and paint the sufferings of the islanders. When he had finished Senator Butler explained that he wanted the bill passed and he wish- ed the memorial accompanying it from Miss Barton might be read. “Does the honorable Senator from South Carolina desire to have the memorial read?” asked Senator Turpie, with great courtesy, “I do!” smiled Mr. Butler. “Then, if the honorable Senator from South Carolina”—throwing an emphasis on the name of the state—“desires it read, I withdraw my objection.” So the memorial was read, but Senator Cockrell’s objection held good and the bill went over. —_—_-o-—______ A SPIRITED CAMPAIGN, Enthusias: Shown fn the Last Week in Massachusetts. Specia! Dispatch to The Evening Star. BOSTON, Nov. 1—Last night the final week of the Massachusetts campaign be- gan. There was a dash of enthusiasm on both sides not shown before.
