The Senate Settled Down to a Long Si«s«r«- Unconditional Repeal Believed to be the Ultimate Result. The President Will Varment to Ho Other Conditions—Senator Teller Be gin! ■ Long Speech In Opposition. By the Associated Press.] Washington, Sept. 9.—The fifth week of the present extraordinary aessjon of the senate closed today, and so far as outward appearance indicate that body is no nearer a conclusion upon the ques tion before it than it was tbe day after Voorhees reported his bill from the finance committee. Senators who are opposed to the repeal of tbe Sherman law, talk as bravely of continued oppo sition, though hardly so confidently of success upon a voting test—as when they were first called together, and as yet show no signs of yielding to the majority, which most of them confess there is against tbem upon tbe question of repeal. They may be said to have fairly exposed their plane of operations through tbe pro longed speech made by Senator Stewart and that begun today by Senator Teller. It is evident, for tbe present at least, that tbey mean to talk indefinitely upon tbe financial question, with tbe hope of forcing some concession from the presi dent and the senate majority. There was a time this week when tbey seemed in a fair way towards securing general consent to a compromise, but the fact tbat the president is holding out for un conditional surrender had the effect of solidifying hia following and causing them to determine upon beginning the fight again next Monday upon tbe same old lines. UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL. The President Will Accept Ho Other Washington, Bept. 9.— On the house side of the capitol but little credence is given to tbe reports of compromise ac tion in the senate on the repeal bill. Tbe Democratic leaders in the house say the Faulkner proposition in the senate to./yV -.Mb-* cojyto.sapO.OQO.OOO and, then nenoe. It is evidently the plan of the house leaden to prevent at this time any kindred financial or currency legis lation which might complicate the situa tion in the senate. They do not pro pose, however, to allow tbe bouee to fold its arms and adjourn from day to day until action is had on the repeal proposition in tbe senate. As soon as the bills can be reported from the com mittee the bouse will take up the bills to admit the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah ; the bill to repeal the federal election law, and possibly the bankruptcy bill. These measures will keep tbe house busy until the senate acts; it will Bhow the country that something is being done, and at the same time prevent consideration of financial bills that might complicate the fight for repeal ln the senate. President Cleveland absolutely re fuees to consent to grantaay concessions in the silver fight, says tbe Post. More than this, he will not promise to agree to any recognition of silver, even should the repeal bill be passed. This is the sum and substance of hia position, as reported by a senator who bad a confer ence with bim yesterday. It has re newed the confidence of the friends of unconditional repeal who assert unwav ering faith in tbe final passage of the measure. With tbe understanding tbat the president is upon a platform of "uncon ditional repeal or nothing," tbe sen ators have settled down for a long siege. Meantime tbe Democrats in the senate concerned for their party will make a careful canvass to see if votes can be secured for some measure that will com mand sufficient votes to ensure the pas sage of the repeal bill. There will be plenty of time to make this poll, for enough speeches are already in course of preparation to occupy three or lour weekß, if needed. They will not be de -1 livered in their lengthy entirety if at any moment the votes necessary to_ the I passage of some concessions are se cured. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Teller Begins a Long Speech Against the Repeal BUI. Washington, Sept. 9.—ln tbe sedate todsy the following changes in commit tees were announced: Carey, Rep., of Wyoming, relieved from service on the committee on Indiana depredations - Perkins, Rep., of California, assigned to committees on civil service and retrench ment, education and labor, fisheries and naval affairs, Indian depredations and Potomac river front; Quay, Rep., of Pennsylvania, assigned to committee on pensions, and Carey. Rep., of Wyom ing, to committee on public buildings and grounds. The resolution offered yesterday by Peffer calling for information whether eastern national banks had observed tbe law respecting the maintenance of their reserve, and whether such banks had paid their checks in currency, was laid before the senate, and its author spoke on it. The hour of 2 o'clock having arrived, the chair laid before the senate tbe re peal bill and Peffer'a resolution went over until Monday. Teller was recognized as entitled to tbe floor, and in the course of his re marks denied emphatically tbat there was an attempt on tbe part of tbe rep resentatives of the silver states to have the government purchase the output of the mines. He alao denied most posi tively that tbe public bad expressed their opinion upon tbe subject and in favor of repeal. The great metropolitan papers had spoken, tbe industrial cusses bad not. They were not in favor of re peal. The Industrial interest had been throttled from the expression of an opinion by the threat tbat the money necessary to carry on the business would be withheld; that threat was made with an effrontery that should shame the devil. As to what had induced tbe bouse to vote for the bill which the arti cle said was public opinion, the courte sies due to the other body would pro vent bis stating his opinion of what in fluenced the vote. He would leave that to some other place wbere he could not be trammeled by the rules of the sen- ate. Tbe senator then went on to denounce the newspapers, which he declared did not represent tbe public. Teller said be repeated the challenge made in n recent speech, for any one to show tbat the Sherman law was responsible in any degree for the present financial con dition or the condition which existed when congress assembled. The act, said tbe senior senator from Colorado, has been made a scapegoat. There was cause for the difficulty, declared Teller; it was the course of wisdom for the sen ators to address themselves to the cause and not be carried off their feet by pub lic clamor, by newspapers, by gibes and threats, and be compelled to do that which they knew would not bring the people that which they deserved and which the"y desired. To Bhow the iallacy of the opinion tbat the Sherman act was responsible for the distress. Teller cited trade reports to tbe effect that the year 1892 was one of the most prosperous in the history of the nation. After brief executive session tbe sen ate adjourned. _ A Session of the House. Washington, Sept. 9. —The house held a short session today. Objection was made to consideration of a resolution by Mikeljohn of Nebraeka, calling for infor mation as to tbe administration of the pension act of 1890. The committee on elections reported allowing expenses to Belknap of the fifth Michigan district, who made a contest for the seat held by Richardson, Adopted. Adjourned. THE CHILD IS BORN ! \ ! AND ITS NAME WILL JfOT BE ' v GIUVER, JUNIOR. \ Mm. Cleveland Safely Delivered or a Little Daughter -The President Much Disappointed Over Ills Offspring's Bex. Washington, Sept. 9. —Mrs. Grbver Cleveland was safely delivered of a little 1 daughter at the White House today. 1 mv- i—.v— —- - J—— ... u.mw i.;«t , just as the ball on the flagstaff of the i state, war and navy building opposite the White House dropped from the top of the staff. From time to time during j the morning the president was quietly , advised as to the condition of affairs in I the sickroom, and at exactly 12 o'clock i Dr. Bryant summoned him from the re ■ ception room and made the important i announcement. The Bmile on the doc tor's face and tbe reassuring pressure of i the hand told the president that his i wife was safe, and without pausing he . asked : "Is it a boy or a girl?" Something like a shadow of disap , pointment swept across Mr. Cleveland's face as the physician told him the new- I born babe waß a girl. The fact of the birth was not made public until 2 o'clock. The news was bulletined at tbe telegraph office,capitol, departments and prominent hotels, and was almost the sole theme of conversa tion during tbe remainder of the after noon. Everywhere disappointment was manifested that the baby was not a boy. Before 4 o'clock a stream of messenger boys began carrying congratulatory tele grams to the White House. This is the first timo in the history of the republic that the wail of a new-born infant of a president of tbe United States has been heard within the walls of tbe White House. Though tbe press intimated at times tbat Mrs. Cleveland would become a mother a second time, tbe birth of the baby today was somewhat of a surpriee as Mrs. Cleveland waa out driving last evening. She bowed frequently to passing friends and acquaintances and appeared in excellent health and spirits. GOOD KEWB FOR BOOMERS. Several More Indian Reservation* co Be Opened. Washington, Sept. 9. —The opening of two more reservations is under con sideration at the interior department. The conditions of opening, as at present contemplated, are practically the same as those under which the Cherokee strip will be opened. The opening of the Kickapoo reservation in Indian terri tory has already been decided upon. Allotments are now being made. The president is expected to issue in a short time a proclamation opening thia land to settlement. Tbe next reservations to be opened, it is believed, are tbe Uncompahgre and Mintab, Utah. Kach of these embraces about 27,009,000 acres. In the latter valuable minerals abound, while each comprizes rich farming land. The Colville reservation, in Washing ton state, will probably be open to set tlement early next year. Surveys are now being made on the land; allot ments will be made to Indians as soon as tbe surveys have been examined by tbe land commissioner and approved by the secretary of the interior. This reservation contains about 3,000,000 seres/about half the size of the Chero kee outlet. Tbe world's fair will cause a rush. Order early. Full stock, good fit, mod erate prices.

He Gives the Administration a Few Pointers. Enforcement of the Geary Law Will Prevent Disorders. A Probability That the Law 'Will Be Amended So as to Give the Heathen Another Chance to Register. By the Associated Prow. Sacramento, Sept. 9 —Following is a copy of a letter aent by Governor Mark ham today to Secretary Gresham: To the Secretary of State, Washington, D. 0.: I have caused to be forwarded to your department copies of all communica tions to or from this office pertaining to the Chinese difficulties in this state. I am pleased to inform you that open hos tilities havo ceased, and na far as I can learn, good order restored. I deem it, however, my duty to inform you that an outbreak may occur at any moment un less aßsuranceß in some form are given by the authorities at Washington tbat tho laws of the United States regarding the Chinese will be carried into effect within a reasonable time. Whatever tbe authorities may think as to the wiedom of the Geary law, the fact that it is a law, and the further fact tbat it has not been enforced by those in authority, furnishes an excuse for those lawlessly inclined to break the laws of our state, and that, too, with tbe sanc tion of many of our citizens. I shall do all I ought to protect these people, but I cennot be held responsible beyond that point. Many of our good citizens be lieve a positive message by the president to congress would result in an immediate appropriation sufficient to remove the only objection thus far made to the complete enforcement of this law. Our people have great confidence in the legal opinions of United States District Judge Hose, and it is evident to all that the gravest complications in the state must ensue unlets Btepß are at once taken to harmonize and settle this important state, national and international ques tion. H. H. Mabkham, Governor, THE CHINESE MUST GO. The Administration Intends to Enforce the Geary Lav. Washington, Sept. 9.—There appears to be littlp-.if auy, doubt at present that the ;«.,„_ ,\ a ... tn Aniorce the Geary law. In case tbe law is rigidly enforced Yang Tv, tbe new Chinese minister to tbie country, will, it is said, withdraw for China. For the past 43 hours he has been besieged with telegrams from Chinese subjects through out the country asking a verification of the report that President Cleveland and the cabinet had decided to put the Geary law into effect. The Chinese Six Companies of San Francisco have been in telegraphic communication with him ever since his arrival in Washington. The attorney general, it is stated, will instruct the United States marshals to enforce the law and bring every un registered Chinaman in their districts to designated ports for deportation. Solicitor Howe of tbe treasury depart ment says there is no disposition on tbe part of any officer of the government to shirk the execution of the provisions of the Geary act. Acircular will be issued by the treasury department to inspec tion efficere, directing them to comply with the provisions of the act to tbe ex tent of the funds appropriated. These are found entirely inadequate for tbe enforcement of the law, and will not hold out long. When exhausted the responsibility will rest not with customs officers but with congress itself. Soma fear, evidently, tbat the Chinese government will retaliate when an at tempt is made to enforce the act. At any event, the arrangements for strengthening the naval fleet bo the Chinese station are significant. The. gunboat Concord is now on the way to* China. The Petrel has been ordered there. The cruiser Baltimore ia also on the way. MAY BE AMENDED. Chinese to Be Given Another Chance to Register. Washington, Sept. 9. —There is a prob ability that the protests of the Chinese government against the rigid execution of the Geary exclusion law are to be respected, and that legislation may be enacted which will amend the existing law by extending the limit allowed for registration, although in nowise receding from the position heretofore assumed by thia government as to the constitution ality of the measure. The new Chinese minister arrived at the national capital last week, and since that time there have been consultations between the president and his cabinet and the repre sentative of tbe Chinese government. While the Chinese minister has re frained from committing Mb govern ment as to the policy to be pursued in case the Geary law remains permanently upon the statute books, he has not hesitated to express tbe be lief that the rigid enforcement of the law at thia time would be a grave in justice to those Chinese who, under the belief tbat tbe law was unconstitu tional—a belief which certainly had the color of probability, since three judges of the supreme court of the United States bad concurred therein— failed to register within the prescribed time. The result of these conferences ia that Congressman Everett of Massa chusetts today introduced in the house a bill which extends the time of regis tration from May 5, 1893, to September 1, 1894. The effect of this bill, if enacted into a law, will be to practically nullify the Geary law until September 1. 1894, when it will go into effect with all its restrictions. Its passage, it is thought, will restore cordial relations between the United States and China. SIXTEEN PAGES. COOLIES IN CUSTODY. The Chinamen from Cuba Denied En trance at New York. New York, Sept. 9.—Lawyer B. C. Chetwood appeared before Collector Kilbreth today in the case of two China men who arrived here from Havana Monday on the Saratoga, and were or dered returned Friday by the collector. The Chinese claimed to be students and were going to Hoboken. The collector did not believe their consular papers and certificates were genuine. The law yer argued for a rehearing in an effort to have them landed. The steamer was scheduled to Bail for Havana at 1 o'clock. At 12:20 Collector Kilbreth said ha would not change his former decision and tbe Chinese cannot land. Tbe lawyer had just 35 minutes to go to the United States circuit court and get a writ and serve it on the collector and notify tbe steamship company people. When the Saratoga was about to sail, her captain put the two Chinamen on the dock, despite the protest of tbe cus toms officers who now bave them in custody. OUTRAGES NEAR FRESNO. Chinese Orape-Plckars Raided aud Brutally Beaten. Fresno, Sept. 9. —A mob of six white workmen men raided R. H. Metzer's vineyard last night and proceeded to remove the Chinese grape-pickers there. They first requested them to leave the bunkhouse, but getting no response tbey shot several holes through the house without effect. They next tore down the house and beat the Chinese, badly wounding three ot them. They then marched them toward Fresno as far as the Butler vineyard, when two of tbe wounded Chinese fell exhausted, and the raiders dispersed. Aa yet, the officers are in the dark as to who were in the mob. Tbe sheriffs office is just in receipt of news to the effect tbat another raid was made on Sam Smith's vineyard and that two Chinese were killed, but details are not to be had. MARTIAL LAW AT RIO. THE SITUATION IN BRAZIL IS CRITICAL. Minister Thompson Reports to tbe State Department—Several United States War Ships Ordered to Rio Janeiro Immediately. Washington, Sept. 9.—Martin law baa been declare at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is feared the city will be bombarded by the revolutionary army. Word to this effect waß received at noon by tbe State department irom Minister Thompson at Rio. Secretary Gresham at once communicated the news to tbe navy department. A consultation was bad as to the United States vessels available to be sent to tbe scene to pro tect American interests. In bis dispatch Thompson urged the government to send a war ship at once to the scene of disturbance. Thia ia necessary for the protection of Ameri can interests at the Brazilian capital. Secretary Gresham at once communi cated tbe information to the secretary of the navy and a conference to determine what vessel is most available in the present emergency was held. The secretary of tbe navy said he hourly expected a telegram from the commander of tbe United States cruiser Charleston, reporting his arrival at Bio de Janeiro or Montevideo. He thought it more than probable the vessel would report from the latter city, however, as she had been out at sea a much longer time than would have been necessary to sail from Barbadoes, where last re ported, to Bio de Janeiro. The United States ship Newark, now at Norfolk navy yard undergoing repairs, has been under orders for some time to go to the South Atlantic statian. Orders will be issued to her commander to see tbat the repairs are hurried through with a view to the qnick departure of the vessel to the post of duty. The commander of the cruiner York town who reported bis arrival at Monte video, has been directed by Secretary Herbert to proceed at once with his vessel to Bio de Janeiro. As the dis tance to be sailed is 1000 miles, it will be four or five days before he can pos sibly reach the Brazilian capital. The flagship Newark, at Norfolk, has been ordered to proceed to Brazil with all possible diepatcti. The Yantic. Charles ton and Yorktown are tbe only United States vessels now in Brazilian waters. Montevideo, Sept. 9. —News received here from Rio de Janeiro today o! the naval revolt, is to the effect that the chiefs of the navy went ashore, met and publicly declared firm adhesion to the government of President Peixoto. Be hia and Terandentes, both af whom re main loyal, had a conference with tbe Brazilian minister here and will sail at 9 o'clock tonight for Asuncion. Their object is to impede any move ment whicn ships on the Paraguay river might take in case their crews should show signs of joining tbe revolt. Later dispatches received here from Rio say that the United States steamer Yorktown sailed for the Pacific without communicating with the shore. Tbey also and that the rebel squadron has changed its original intention of sailing out of the bay there, as the insurgents fear to pass the forts which command the mouth of the bay. These forts are manned by garrisons of artillerymen who are loyal to Reixoto and have orders to open fire on the reb els the moment tbey come within range. The revolutionists are confidently ex pected to surrender before long. a Minnesota Blaze. Canby, Minn., Sept. 9.—A block and a half of the business portion of town was burned last night.

It is a representative gath ering of tbe wealth, eloquence and beauty of Los Angelea in particular. Tbe members of the chamber of com merce arrived yesterday to add eclat to California day at the fair. Senator White was loudly applauded during hia speech, and spoke well for the southern part of the state. Colonel and Mra. Baker, Judge and Mrs. Hubbell, Hon. J. R.

California Hospitality Dispensed at the World'- Fair. , Chicago, Sept. 9. —This was one o red letter days at tbe world's fair. T weatber waa perfect, with skies i and a bracing breeze. It was a <' big features. To begin with |l (Wand Army day and the veteran, right-of-way. Thousands of thorn .» ' present on the way home from |liM tional encampment At Indlanapoll-, in cluding the new commander-inch hi, Adams. In addition to this it was Cali fornia day, Utah day, Civil Engineers' day, Transportation day, the day to ded icate the new liberty bell and transfer the Columbus caravels from Spain to tbe United States. California kept open house in honor of the anniversary of her admission to the union, giving away a trainload of fruit. Utah, with its magnificent Mor mon choir of 300 voices, assisted at. tbe dedication of the Liberty bell, along with tbe Grand Army and thousands of school children who strewed flowers and set its great metal sides resounding with a stroke 'or each state and territory. THE UTAH CELEBRATION. Governor West and the Utah commis sioners had their bands full receiving the guests who called at the territory building during the day. It bad been decided by the commission to give a re ception to tbe general public instead of having a parade in view of tbe fact that several other parades bad been planned. The pretty little building was decorated extensively, and here in the main parlor Governor West, his staff and the com missioners received citizens of Utah and the public. Tbe Mormon choir rendered music during tbe reception. During the past week western people have been coming to the fair in vast numbers. In all this rush Utah has sent its full quota af visitors, and today they invaded their state building, shook hands with their governor and viewed tbe beauties of the exposition. The exercises which had been prepared in honor of the day were carried out in the festival hall, that building being better adapted to hold the crowd than tbe state building. Governor West made an address in wbioh he praised the exposition man agement for what it had prepared for the people of tbe world, and compli mented his own people for having come so far to do honor to themselves and the fair. Presidents Smith, Cannon and Wood ruff, the heads of the Mormon church, made speeches. If anybody attended with the expectation of hearing the Mormon faith expounded, they were disappointed, as the great exponents of Mormonißm were full of other subjects, relating to what they bad seen since their arrival in Chicago. dedication of the liberty bell. The Grand Army hosts, returned from Indianapolis, paraded through the grounds fully 7000 strong and, with thousands of school children, dedicated the new Liberty bell in front of th*J west entrance of the administrating) building. Alice Scott, daughter of President Scott of tbe California com mission, swung the iron tongue of the bell for tbe first time, and tbe other children filed around, showering the bell with flowers. Director-General Davis and the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army Btirred up enthusiasm with patriotic speeches, and Alice 8. Mitchell sang her new soag, The New Liberty Bell. One by one the young women repre senting the states and territories, as their respective state flags were run up, Bounded the bell. Fifty times the bell rang, 44 strokes fcr the states, five for the territories and one for freedom. The Salt Lake City tabernacle choir sang America and Tbe Star Spangled Banner, and a brass band lent music for the occasion. Two big camp fires assembled,
