THE OMAHA [CTORY FOR REPEAL Last Act in the Revooation of the Silver Parchase Law, DYING STRUGGLE OF THE SILVERITES heir Efforts to Stave Off the Inevitable Prove Fruitless ONE TIME FILIBUSTERING DID NOT WORK Anti-Repealers Oaught Napping and Outgen- eraled by Their Opponents, VOORHEES BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE ohes Made and Other Proceedings Be- that Body Yesterday—How the Members Voted—It Hns Been Signed by the Pre ‘WasHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Silver purchases by the government ceased today. The purpose Tor which Mr. Cleveland called congress in ‘extra session was accomplished at 4:25 this afternoon, when he affixed his signature to the bill to repeal unconditionally, the pur- chasing clause of the Sherman law. The struggle in the house was short. Only twenty-seven men could bo rallied for tho lust stand by the silver leaders, Messrs. Bland and Bryan, Mr. Bland and his col- lzagues, knowing further opposition was futile, nreferred to sacrifice the opportunity for a few hours debate offered by Mr. Wil- son in order to force the majority to bring in cloture and concur in the senate amendment by duress. But even in this they failed. Their small following might have succeeded had they been led by experienced and suit- able parliamentarians. Weak m Thelr Leaders, Neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Snodgrass, his li%utenant, are well versed in parliamentary proceedings, and when thrown off their guard by a momentary distraction they ex- posed their flank by failing to follow one fili- bustering motion with another. Speaker Crisp overwhelmed them by putting the pending motion to order the previous ques- tion. It was carried witha roar, The fili- busters had been caught napping, and nothing remained for them buv to sub- mit. For thirty minutes, under the rule, followed the rattle of oratory, amid great confusion and excitement. At its conclusion the vote was taken on Mr. Bland's free coin- age substitute. The majority against it was seventy-three, Then came the final vote on concurring in the senate amendments. The vote stood 193 for concurrence and 94 against. ‘When the original bill passed the house August 28 the vote 8tood 201 to 100, so that, although the total vote today wus smaller, the proportion was practically the same. The final vote was taken at 2:50. The bill was engrossed at once, and at 3:10 the formal anwouncement was made to the sen- ate that its amendment had been agreed to by the house. Sent to the President, The bill was hurriedly enrolled by Ch man Pearson of the committee on enrolled bills und at 8:30 it was given to Speaker Crisp for mis name. A fleet-footed mes- senger carried it to the senate, where it was signed two minutes later by Vice President Stevenson. Chairman Pearson, with tho bill under his arm, entered a carriage and drove rapidly to the white house. The president had been kept duly advised of the progress of events. Indeed, he manifested 80 much interest in the vote in the house that at his request a duplicate of the numes of those who had voted for and against the « concurrence wus made soon after the roll call was over and this list was lying on his desk when Mr. Pearson arrived with tho bill. Secreiary Carlisle, Attorney General Olney and Private Secrotary Thurber were present. After felicitating with each other for a fow mioutes over the victory, the president ook up the bill and read it aloud. Then, picking up & quill pen, he afiixed his auto- graph at 4:25. And thus, eighty-five days, four hours and twenty-five minutes after the éxtra session convened, the remedy for financial distross which mr. Cleveland de- manded in his message was applied. The analysis of the vote shows that 124 democrats, 08 republicans and 1 populist voted for concurrence, and 70 democrats, 15 republicans and 9 populists against it, The following members voted for the Bland free coinage bill and also for concur- rence: Alderson, Black of Georgia, Brook- _shire, Donovan, Edmunds of Virginia, Geury, Holman, Richardson of Michigan, Swanson, Marshall, Turpie, Post and Tyler, while Neal, Weaverand Kyle, who voted for the free coinage substitute, did nov vote on the final vote. Rev, . Baghy, the new chaplain chosen last night, a slender, beardless, boyish-look- ing young man of 25, delivered the invocation n the house in a clear, firm voice, As soon as the journal had been read Mr., Holman, the chairman of the caucus, offered @ resolution for the formal election of Mr, Bagby, sud, it being agreed to, the new chaplain was escorted to the bar of the house, where, with raised hand, he took the oath of office. The speaker cleared tho minor matters from his table, executive communications, eto., before presenting the repoe! bill, When he presented the New York and New Jersoy bridge bill with the senate amendments Mr. Dunphy moved mnonconcurrence. This ‘was agreed to and conferees were appointed.

By fhis time the ares in front of the er's chalr was crowded with members wlsles were choked. My, Allen of 19, 1871, Mississippisaid: “It's only intended to par- tially stifie the house, Bourke Cockran could not hear the remark of the droll member from Mississippi and wanted him to repeat it so that the house could be taken into _his_confidence, but Mr. Allen declined, and Mr. Wilson proceeded to explain his purpose in demanding the previous question was not to cut off debate, but 1o avoid losing control of the bill. *If 1 lose control,” said he, *‘the debate procecds in a vague, indefinite way and thebill is open to amendment. 1 am perfectly willing to give the gentleman on the other side one, two or three hours or any other reasonable time,"” Mr. Livingston of Georgia offered as a counter proy tion be considered, us ordered, at 4 o'clock. M. Wilson, however, did not seem dis- posed to treat with Mr. Livingsion as the eader of tho opposition. He still looked to Mr. Bland. Mr. Stockdale of Mississippi wanted to know, with the evidence of much irritation, if the bill were so perfect why the friends of the mensure were afraid of amendments. At this point 8o much confusion existed that the speaker ordered the aisles cleared. Mr. Cockran, Mr. Rayner, Mr, Outhwaite and Mr. Catehings, who had been standing at Mr. Wilson's back, retreated to their seats, As soon as order was restored Mr. Livingston rencwed his proposition. He called attention to the fact that every one was anxious to get away, and all the silver men wanted was o expiain their votes. He chided Mr. Biand, who was not obdurate, and who had Just returned to the city aftes a six weeks absence, standing in the way of an amicable agreement, which, he said, would go far toward harmonizing the demo- cratic party. SIf he won't accept it,” said Mr. Living- ston, I will accept it myself,” [Laugh- ter.| Mr. Wilson's Purpose, Mr. Bryan asked Mr. Wilson if his pur- Ppose was to prevent the house from voting on amendmente. s, sir,”’ replied Mr. Wilson. “1 want that fact to go on record,” re- torted Mr. Br “I want the country to know you are unwilling this house sha'l vote on amenduents,” “We have already voted on oy ment offered,” veplied Mr. would like to know,”” he continued, turning toward Mr. Bland for the last time, ‘“whether you are willng to accept the proposition 1 have made.” “I will accept nothing,” Bland snappishly, the regulir way. “Then I demand the previous question,” said Mr. Wilson, facing the speaker. Mr. Bryan tried to spealk, but a chorus of voices drowned his appeal. When he was recognized, after the din had subsided, he moved the house adjourn. Filibustering was to be the last resort of the extreme silver men. They were more dotermined to force the committes on rules to bring in cloture. But it was a feeble ef- fort. Mr. Bryan's first motion oaly mus- tered twenty-six votes against 180 Mr. Snodg who joined with him in making the filibustering motions, secured but twenty-one votes for his motion for a re- cess. "For fifteen minutes motion after mo- tion failed. At last Mr. Wells of Wisconsin, rising to o parliamentary inquiry, asked whether the committee on rules had not al- ready made a rule that would apply in this case, and Mr. Henderson of lowa motioned the house take a recess for thirty minutes to give the rule committee time to bring in a rule. The house merely laughed. Declined to Put the Motion, “The chair declines to put the motion,” replied the speaker, Mr. Wilson of Washington inquired whether, if the previous question was ordered, it would be in order to make any amendnients to the bill, remarking that when the Will was debated in the house before all the amendments came from the democratic side. Woula the republicans have an obportunity to offer amendments? The speakerruled when the previous ques- tion was ordered tne bill would not be amendable. At 11:15 a filibustering motion had been lost and Mr. sLivingston was making an ap peal to hus colleagues to desist. Both Mr. 5 8 were listening to f renewing their fili- bustering motions. This left the pending question, the motion to order the previous question. The filibusters were thrown off their guard. I'te speaker put the motion and it was carried with a roar of assent. The filibusters called for a division, bat they could not muster enough votes to call the ayes and nays. The bill was then in the the arena of de- bate for the I, time, fifteen minutes being allowed on a side unaer the rules. After some little wrangling it was arranged that Mr. Bland should control the time for the opponents und Mr. Wilson for the sup- vorters of the measure, Mr. Bland's Last Speoch Mr. Bland sent to the desk and had read his amendment., 1t revives the free coi e act of 18; Mr. Blaud said a vote must now be taken upon the all important question of returning to the law of 1837, The recent panic was precipitated by the moneyed in- terests of the country for the purpose of af- 1 g legislation. With the law tobe wiped from the statute books he had wuo sympathy and he and those who believed with him had only been battling that it might notbe wiped out until after the political party to which he and they belonged had redeemed its pledge by restoring the free and unlimited coinage of. silver. He offered an amendment upon which the democratic party of the south and west would do battle in the future. It was a repeal of the Sher- man law of 1878 io follow the repealing Sherman law of 1890, Mr. Bland said he would despair of the future of his party had he not seen in the house and 1n the senate a swall, unterrified force which had battled for the last three monihs seeking to estab lish the vrinciples announced 1n the demo- oratic platform. Iu these he saw the new clews wherein und whereby on the platform onnounced the democratic, party in all sec- tions west of the Alleghenies would stand. In his opinion the great mass of the eastern democracy would inally also stand together upon that platform and upon it would march to triumph, continued Mr. at does not come in Not Discouraged. The adyocates of silver were not discour- aged. On the contrary, when the Sherman law was wiped out, the sole issue would be made whether this country snould go to the gold monometallism, which had practically Pankrupted : Kurope, or. re-catablish . tha monetary system of the constitution. There might be u spasmodic revival of business now, but It could not last. In this country stocks had alveady begua to fall, and if any thing should rise on account of the Bherman law und the going to a gold standard, it should be stocks, for the legislation had boen in the interest of stock jobbing operations. [Applause.] * The old world was in distress, howeyer, and American securities were scut back 1o th itry, notwithstanding the repeal of the Sterman law. The faw had been re- pealed in the interoat of stock gambling, aud wheat and cotton, the products of the farmer, had been depressed by it Bryan Takes the Floor, ‘When Mr, Bland finished he yielded to Mr. Bryun, who said: *We have been told the democratic platform demanded the uncondi- tiona! repeal of the Sherman law. No per- son has yet brought in a single word of uny platform that substantiated that statement. Gentlemen who are interested in this bill way follow the leadership of John Sherman call it democratie. but, so help me God, until he is converted to the true principles of finance I shall never follow him and call 1vhde,mocruun or honest.

HARRISON LAID IN HIS GRAVE All Night Long Crowds Thronged the City Halt for a Last Look at His Body and Today Followed the Henrse to the Cemetery, Cnicaao, Nov. 1.—With the solemn pomp and imposing ceremonies befitting the inter- ment of the chief magistrate of the World's Fair city and his pitiful dramatic fate, Car- ter H. Harrison's (body was escorted to Graceland cemetery by an immense throng of sorrowing citizens, Tenderly the remains were borne from the black-draped and flower-scented corridor of the city hall, where they had rested in siato, and placed in the funeral car. Through the great crowd that gathered to see the mur- dered mayor's last leavetaking of the scenes of his ardent labors in behalf of the city he loved, the black car slowly passed and took its place in the wailing procession. As the hearse drew into line, the march was taken up und thousands who had gati ered to do honor to the dead moved slowly through the crowded streets with bunners draped and to the sad music of the funeral march. Thousands Mourned for Him, Out from the center of the city the great procession moved across the river and to the beautiful church of Epiphany near the late exeautive’s home. All along the line of march the people with sad faces ana bared heads watched the som- ber column and about the church a thronk as great as that which had been about the city hall was gathered. From the time tho mayor's body was placed in the city hall & continuous proces- sion has moved through the corridor and vast the bier. For twenty-four hours the line remained unbroken and when today the corridor was of necessity abruptly closed to the public a great crowd still remaiued in line awaiting a last look at the features of the dead executive. All night long men and women stood in_double tile, awaiting an en- trance to the building. Late last night the line extended . block and o half from the entrance und people stood n line for hours, unwilling to lose their last opportunit; to see the face of Carter Harrison. As the long line grew shorter with the coming of morning, the of- ficers on guard mare every endeayor to rush the people past the vier, but before tne nignt's crowd had melted the early morning throng vegan to arrive and when the corri- dors were closed it was estimated that fully 100,000 people had filed past the body. One Pathetic Incldent. A peculierly pathetic reminder of the dead mayor came mto view immediately following the black and golden hearse—a thoroughbred mare, saddled and bridled, but riderless. In many a labor riot or fierce election contest thousands of peo- ple had seen tho dashing mayor press for- ward on that same thoroughbred into posi- tions of danger few public men would dare to enter. To see tne noble looking animal today led lonesomely behind the hearse of her master was a sight that not many wit- nessed unmoved. Prendergast, the murderer of May rison, is having a rough time in Jjail, other prisoners have taken 10 using every opportunity to jeer at the wretch and to shriek imprecations at him, so that exercise outside his cell has been made practically an impossibility. Tuesday whilethe mui’nr‘s corpse waslying in state at the city hall with thousands rev- erently pressing by, the assassin seemed for the first time forced to realize his position, The words of his fellow prisoners affected him strangely. Herctofore he had ap- parently labored under the illusion that his companions 1 crime would look up to him as a sort of king among them. But their frightful denunciations dispelled today at least this vagary in thc man's mind and he seemed to understand bitterly that he was abhorred even by hardened criminals asa cowardly assassin. Scones Along the Funeral's Route. From every window, upon every roof and in every doorway along the line of march, from the city out along Jackson boulevard, sad faces looked forth upon the solemn scene. Inspector Ross had sent out 1,300 policemen to clear the streets and manage the crowds, but the officers were almost powerless 1n the vast throngs. As the Sev- enth regiment, Illinois National guard, l\usscd a particularly crowded corner, with ['ranic Colby at the head of his splendidly arilled command. the crowd swayed for- ward, forced the crush in the rear, but the policemea soon cleared the way and the procession moved on again, he display was one of the most imposing ever seen in Chicago. As the funeral car, guarded by the active pallbearers, passed the crowds stood with bare heads and dimmed eyes, During the crush opposite the doors of the church Mrs, L. A. Clark of 49 South Mor- gan street, fainted. Dufore she could be gotten out of the crowd she was severely crushed and bruised. A patrol wagon tool her to the county hospital. At the chu the remains were placed within the chancel rails, and in the presence of the great congregation of vhe friends of the mayor, the beautiful Kpiscopal services for the dead were read by Rev. 1. N, Morri- son, jr. The music was by forty choir boys, dressed in black cassocks and white sur- plices, Out from the sacred edifice, echoing the strains of the organ, almost hidden beneath wreaths and letters and roses, the casket was borne and the march to the cemetel begun. Down Washington boulevard, acros: the river and then to the North Side the pro- cession moved in unbroken column and upon streets everywhere lined with great crowds, About two miles north from the center of the city the foot portion of the line dis- banded, while the mounted oficers and those in carriages went on to vhe cemetery, Guarded the Assassio, Because of the great crowds down town to view the funeral procession of the dead mayor Sheriff Gilbert became alarmed for the safety of Murderer Prendergast, and fearing the vengeance of tho throngs asked for additional guards for the jail. A large number of oficers were detailud, While the thousands upon the streets e viewing the funeral procession, Pren ast, whose bullet had caused the city's sorrow, strolled about the cage in the county jail, apparently unconcerned. He had asked for the morning papers and read with apparent terest the published accounts of the funeral arrangements, but had made no remarks concerning the sad occasion. As he paced up and down the dimly lighted corridor Lhe st of a passing band play- ing the dead march floated in through the windows. The assassin stopped in his walk for & momient, listened to the solemn music, and theu paced on again, seeming uncon: scious of what was taking place outside the prison wall Prendergast will probably be arraigned before Justice Horton tomorrow to plead to the indictment charging murder against him brought in by the .{mua ury Monday.

Portraxp, Nov. 1.—An electric car this morning plunged off Madison street bridge into the Willamette river. A heavy fog was prevailing and the draw was open for the passage of a steamboat. The carcontained about fifteen passengers, ten of whom escaped by jumping. The re- maining five were drowned, Two of the bodies have been recovered but have not yet been identified. The vresident of the road and the con- ductor are under arrest. The car was the first one golng into Port- land from the suburbof Milwaukee, and a few minutes before 7 o'clock it went through the draw. A number of physi- cians immeaiately ~ went to the wreck. A very heavy fog prevailed atthe time of the accident, and 1t was undoubt~ edly due to this that the car took its plunge. Three bodies have been recovered. They are: ' on 3 BREKMAN. R CAMPEELL, N DLER. Three other men are missing. The con- ductor and motorman were released on their own recognizance, The conductor thinks there were eighteen or twenty persons in the car, There was but one lady passenger on the car, a Miss Thayer, who, in the scramble, got caught in the doorway, from which she wus extricated without serious injury. The three bodies first recovered were taken tosthe morgue, namely: Charles Brekman, bookkeeper, leaves a wife; Alex Campbell, saloon keeper, leaves a wifé and child; John P. Anderson, cabinet maker, leaves a wife and five childréen. Two men, named Bennack and Scott, ate missing. Several of tho passengers recoived slight injuries in jumping. [ Motorman Detrie gives the!following ver- sion of the accident: “Whed the car came on the bridge the power was thrown off and the car approached the draw at a low rate of speed. The fog wasso hoavy thatl was unable to see the lights at $he draw. About four spans from the draw I put on the brakes, but owing to the slippery condition of the rails they refused to work and I had no sand. When within one span of the draw I reversed the current, but the momen- tum was 8o great that it was of noavail. T jumped, catching the railing of the bridge, just as the car crashed through the wooden gate in front of the chasm.” Conductor W, C. T. Power states he was standing on the front of .the car making out his report. When he saw the danger tho car was but o few feet from the gate. Ho shouted to the passengers to jump, and & scramble ensued. WYOMING RUSTLERS CONVICTED. Converse County Citizens Rejolcing at the Final Capture ot th 3 Dot 5 al to Tre Bee. | —All good citizens of Converse county are rejoiced at the prospect of at last break- ing up the gaug of cattle thicves who have for several years flourished in the western portion of the county. Although one or more members of this gang have been ar- raigned for trial at every term of court since the organization of the county, per- jured witnesses and rustler sympathizers have enabled them to laugh at the law. and the result has been either an acquittal or & disagreement of the jury. Last night George Arnold. one of the recognized leaders of this organization, was found guilty of the crime of 1llegally killing a cow belonging to Major Wolcott, of “inva- sion” fame. No less than three more of the wang are under-arrest, charged with a like offense, and there is reason to believe that all will be convictea, Judge Maurer, the county attorney, is assisted by Attorney C. C. Wright of Omahs, and this fact, couplea with u strong public seatiment against cat- tle thieves in general and this gaugin par- ticular, probably accounts for the conviction already obtamned and the prospect of others as fast us the cases can be tried. —_— THEIR NECK> IN DANGER, “DInk” Wilkon sud Brother Find Them- selves In Close Quurters, Syracuse, N.

ARGENTINA'S COMMWERCE 1S INVOLVED United States Requested to Interforo in the Interests of Lesser South Ameriean Natlons—Insurgent Chiel Not Yet Recognized. [Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett,) Moxtrvipro, Uruguay (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 1.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tue Beg.)— Advices from Rio Janeiro are that the siege is likely to be prolonged, perhaps indefl- nitely. It has been declared exteaded until November 30, and may be continued beyond that time. The warship Republica has been ordered by Mello to cruise about the mouth of the river Plata to wait for the appearance of the Tiradentes, the warskip that has remained loyal to the government, or for other ships that may make their appearance there, Ad- miral Mello has issued orders to the com- mander of the Republica to make a final ef - fort to seduce the Tiradentes and to haveits officers and men join the insurgents; failing in this, the Republica is ordered to open her batteries and reduce the Tiradentes to sub- mission, and use all means to prevent the loyal warships from reaching Rio. Appenls to the United States. Argentina’s minister has flled a protest with the diplomatic corps against the seiz- ure by Mello of the cargo of Argentina’s steamer, Pedro Percero. The Herald's correspondent at Buenos Ayres, Argentina, has also sent advices to the effect that Argentina’s minister in Rio do Janeiro, fail- ing to obtain a satisfactory roply to his ap- plication to President Peixoto, has asked the United States squadron to protect its commerce. The request grew out of the fact that Mello's forces had seized a cargo of provisions on the Argentina steamer Pedro Percero while on its way to Rio de Janeiro. Argentina's minister protested to President Peixoto, who replied that he was not responsible for the acts of the in- surgents. Refused to Recognize Mello, 1t is expected that the ships recently pur- chased in England by President Peixoto will arrive early this month. Mello has failed in obtaining recognition from the Spanish government, and some time ago sent a cable- gram to the Spanish government asking that it recognize tho belligerency of the insur- gents and also that it acknowledge the goy- ernment established in Santa Catharina. Ho has been informed that the government at Madrid.after a long discussion of the matter by the Spanish cabinet, has refused his re- quest, Peruvian Rioters Quiet. Ly, Peru (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 1. —[By Mexican Cable to the New, York Herald—Special to Tae Ber.]—Everything has been quiet here for thu last two days, although the municipal.buildings and public square are still occupied by soldiers, ready to quell any disturbance. The rioters, how- ever, have not made any attempt to break the peace and the Cacerists appear to have sought obscurity. It is thought the government has solved the question of preserving the peace. Jthas appointed a commission of forty respectable Peruvians, taking an equal pro- portion of representatives from each politi- cal party and including a representative from the forelgn populations. This com- mission will be protected by a strong mili- tary force. The president’s proclamation, convoking the election of a president and vice president and the renewal of the terms of office of one- third of the outgoing representatives, will be published tod In order to prevent a recurrence of disorder and possible blood- shed the prefect has issued an order vrohib- iting the carryng of arms. Threatening the Korelgners, MaNAGA, Nicaragua (via Galveston, Tex.), Nov. 1.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—S 1 to Tue Bge.]—For- eigners in business in Nicarugua and those who have come here as colonists are consid- erably excited over a provision in the new constitution which has just been adopted. Congress, which has been framing the new constitution, has adopted articles which subject foreigners residing in the country to all kinds of taxation, either ordinary or ox- traordinary. The articles also impose the the penalty of expulsion from Nicaragua upon all foreigners who present claims against the government that are deemed to be unjust. Minister Baker, on behalf of the United States, has had two interwiews with President Zelaya on the subject and was assured on both occasions that these obnox- fous provisions would not be adopted. In company with other Central American and South American countries, Nicaragua has offered special {nducements for for- eigners to settle within its borders. One of these inducements was the promise that under certain conditions they would not be subjected to all taxes. Some who have in- vested in lands and have established enter- prises claim that without this inducement they would not have chosen Nicaragua, but woula have settled elsewhere. They claim that the adoption of such articles is unjust to them, and they are consequently ina stute of excitement.

Pantg, Nov. 1.—The explorer Soler, in an interview published today. intimates that the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia has ar- ranged a treaty between France, Russin and Spain, by the terms of which the latter's ultimate occupation of Tangier is vrovided for, It isadded that even should this last mentioned portion of the treaty fail to take effect the powers have determined that British occupation of Tangier must be pre- vented at any cost. Several of the newspapers of this city and other important parts of France joun in de- claring that Europe cannot afford to allow England to occupy and hold the key to the Mediterranean and the newspapers continue by urging the government tw immodiately dispatch u powerful French squadron to Tangier in order to support Spain against any inter- ference upon the part of Great Britain in the disturbances about Melilla and to enable the French to be in a position to checkmate any avtempt upon the part of England to land troops in Morocco. In fact it is inti- mated that it is the plain duty of France to take the iniial step should any interference be necessary upon the part of any other power than Spain in the affairs of Morocco, and it is also urged that the presence of a French squadron at Tangier might be used to force the sultan to take steps to support the Spanish troops against the Moors now surrounding Melulla. In any case it is intimated that Spain should insist that the sultan of Morocco take immediate action against the Moors and that wheu the latter have finally been driven from the heights surrounding Melilla the Spanish government must 1nsist for rep- arvation for the loss of life sustained in the engagements fn Morocco, and that the sul- tan should be compelled to pay the cost of all the war preparations and other expenscs to which the Spanish government has becn put through the revolt of the Moors. CREATED SURPRISE. Change In the Ameriean Legation at Lon- don Causes a Stir. Loxnox, Nov. 1.—The appointment of James Roosevelt as secretary of the Unitea States embassy, to succeed Henry White, resigned, has caused quite 4 com- motion in the American colony here. It was gencrally thought Mr. White was a fixture, as he had succes: fully resisted numerous attempts to dislodge him. It was known, for instance, that Mr. Blaino had definitely promised the post to a friend of his and that Mr. White's friends, headed by Mr. C. M. Depew, persuaded President Harrison to overrule Mr. Blaine. Mr. Bayard, in an interview today, said it was untrue Mr. White had been superseded owing to'strained relations between himsell and Mr. White. Mr. Roosevelt was asked if he wished to make any reply to the state- ments published in the U d States to the effect that he had not voted and had contributed $10.000 to the Cleveland cam- paign fund. Mr. Roosevelt replied: “The Associated press can make an emphatic denial of the charges referred 10." Mr. Bayard is surprised by the change as much as were the other members of the embassy and the whole American colony. erlh —The Diet ele gan yesterday. All morning an apathy was displayed.

Robbery was the incentive, and the crime was committed by two unknown men who wero indebted to their victim for food and shelter. Saturday two strangers came to Akeson's place and apolied for assistance. Both were ablebodied and when proffored work in the corufield they accepted. They wore kept at the house over Sunday, and Monday th went to work husking corn. As shuckers they were hardly phenoms, and when Tues- day night came Akeson discharged them, paying each his wages for two days. Toduy they were both in Weeping Water. One went intoa hardware store and bought a cheap 88-caliber revolver, while the other waited outside. ‘Then they disappeaved.

For somo reason Mr. Akeson did not immediately respond and the pistol was discharged. Hardly a groan escaped frowm the oid man. A bullet had crashed shrough his brain and he fell dead from his ch: Gus Berg, one of the hired men on the place, sprang forward and the pistol was turned on him. He received a severe scalp wound, the bullet that should have killed him glancing from his skull. Berg fled to give the alarm. Two Others Shot. ‘Tom Akeson had taken a hand in the fight and got a shot through the left hand near the wrist, disabling him. Another hired man, whose name is not known, was shot in the right leg at the knee and he, too, was disabled, In the meantime the second of the robvers was not idle. He was armed only witha club and while his partner was making every shot in his new revolver count, the stick was being used on old Mrs. Akeson. She was knocked down and severely beaten about the head. Itis not known just how seriously she is injured, but 1t is thoughtshe may survive, though dangerously low. Dia Quick Work, 1t was all over in an incredibly short time, When the wounded men found they were not killed they valiantly assailed the brute who was beating old Mrs. Akeson and com- pelled him to desist. No.1 having emptied his revolver, called to his partner and thoy fled from the place. Gus Berg had reached a neighbor's house an i given the alarm in the meantime. Mes- sengers were dispatched for aid, andin a short time the whole neighborhood was aroused.
