The Chambers of Commerce and other commercial bodies o the various cities of the country have sent delegates to the con. vention which will spend its time in the discussion of matters relat. ing to sound finances and the 'general good of trade.

GANS & KILEIN TWITTEO THE SENATORS. Woloott Says They Changed Their Views to Agree With the Administration. Voorhees Geta Some Rasps at the Hands of the Oaustio Coloradian. Controverts the Argument of Overproduo. tien of lilver at Big Profit-Facts In the Case. WAsrmoTOw. Aug. 21.-The senate this morning took up the bill for the repeal of the Sherman set mad Wolcott of Colorado, spoke against it. After considerable per sifiase in which he twitted the senators on their change of views on the silver ques tion to suit the ideas of the administration. He declared that Hill's speech might have been as well made against silver, as he kaew that fse coinage was iml.ossible by a saparate act under this administration. he quoted the former utterances of Voor hbeesto show the inconsistency of that sea ator on the silver question, and deolared that Voorbhes and Wherman were for the first time in accord; that Sherman would be. in fast, the chairman of the finance committee instead of Voorhees. All of the senators knew that Cleveland would veto any independent silver eoinage measure. He hinted that if this bill passed the free silver men might vote against pro tsotion in any form. It seems unaecount able that in a naole the banks should ob ject to an increase in the volume of money. Their plan, after repeal, was to ask, and they would probably get, an issue of a hun dred millions in gold bonds. The speaker then proceeded to controvert the arguments of over-produetion of slilver in the world at a big profit. He showed in the ease of Leadville 104,500,000 in silver was produced at a cost of $121,500,000, loss being ohenged to only a fair profit by the value of the produets. If only the silver states were coneerned they would acquiesce without a protest, but it was a national question, affeeting all parts of the country. At the close of Wolcott's speech Mills gave notitee that he would speak on repeal Wednesday. Then Caffery. of Louisiana, spoke in favor of unconditional repeal. At the close of Caffery's remarks Callom gave notice that he would address the sen ate on the repeal bill next Monday. A motion was made by Feffer to take up the resolution heretofo ae offered by him, as to national banks refusing to pay deposit ora' checks in currency. After a colloquy the resolution was referred to the commit tee on finance, yeas thirty-five, nays twenty one, THEl INHERIT.D DEFICIT. Left by the Repubtlcan Administration It Must lie Meot. WASIenatToN. Aug. 81.-It has been 4e* aided that it is impracticable to let the tariff question go over to the regular ses sion by adjourning congress as soon ao the silver question is settled. bo the work on a tariff bill will soon begin. The ways and means committee will give hearings from Sept. 4 to 20 and then proceed to frame a bill. Chairman Wilson hopes to have the bill ready for consideration by the house by November. Another urgent question will have to be considered before this. The monetary stringeacy has caused such a falling off in receipts from internal revenue customs and other sources of daily receipts that the government is now falling $300,000 short of compulsory expenditures for pensions and ordinary expenses. Already a deficiency of ten or eleven millions is in sight. The sit nation can not be met by economy, as these expenses are obligatory under the law. Alternatives before congress to meet the situation are limited to three-a new issue of government bonds, an income tax or some elsh new impost, or an increase in the rate in some existing forms of taxation. More Border Complications. WAseINToN., Aug. 30.-International complications have arisen on the Mexican border, growing out of the dies te as to the boundary. The wcr department has received a eport from Gen. Wheaton. com mending the department of Texas, that he has information that a party of armed Mexionns seized a flock of sheerl crazing on land that was cut off from the American side by the change in the bed of the Rio Grande river, claimed bIoth by Mexioans and Americans. Gen. Wheaton ordered all parties held by the troops from Fort Ring ,,old. and will not allow anybody to eroes the river pending action by the war depart imedt. Owing to the international aspect of the affair, no action will be taken by the depa tmrent till after consultation with the state department. Capital Notes.

SAD CASE OF DESTITUTION. Father Gene, Mother at the Poor Farm and tile Children Left Alone. One of the saddest oases of poverty that has come to the attention of the coanty ofoials developed a day or two ago. In the latter part of July John Desoeher and his wife came to Helena from that sesotion of the county near Falton. They did not have a dollar, the wife was sik aend she was sent to the county poor farm, while the husband left town. Aug. 23 a child was born to the wife at the frrmu. A few days ago the county auditor received word from Thos. Gibson, living at Fulton, that when Desoeher and his wife quit that country they left behind them three children in their cabin; that the children did not have enough to eat and there was danger that they would starve. Mr, Gibson kindly vol unteered to take charge of the oldest child and asked that some measures be taken for the care of the younger ones. The county auditor has arranged to have all the chil dren brought to Helena. and they will be sent to the poor farm until arrangemonst an bhe made for their care elsewhere. GRtADING TIHE MIDLAND.

WENT THROUGH ABRIOGE, Thirteen Persons Killed, Several Fa tally Injured and Many Seri ously Hurt. Buffet, Two Bleepers and the Din ing OCr Went Down Into the Stream. Worst Wreakl That Ever Oceurred on thre Bosaten & Albany-t-he Killed Fright fally Mangled. FPnrraaz.LLD, Mass., Aug. 81.-The Obh. eago limited express train for Boston broke through a frail iron bridge on the Boston & Albany railway, one Sad a halt miles east of Chester, about 12:30 to-day, and four Wagner ears were crushed, killing at least thirteen persons, fatally injuring several others, while at least a score were badly haurt. The w oak was the worst ever known on the road. The bridge was being strengthened for big loaomotives and the wo klngmen who were putting on the plates were at dinner when the orash came. The locomotive passed over the structure, but was smashed, the water tank being thrown a long distance. The buff. two sleepse and the dining ear were smashed to kind ling wood when they t: oak the stream, twenty feet below, but the two day coaches and the smoker, in the rear, did not leave the track. There had been thirteen dead bodies taken out at six o'clock and twelve of them have been identified. It is be lieved there are two more bodies in the inalas. The list of identified is as follows: J. E. DeWitt, Portland, Me., president of the Union Mutual Life Insurance com I any; T. Kelly, Boston; Miss Susie Cot tiha, Boston; Mrs. C. Bishpom, Phlladel phia; Miss Emma Delerty, Columbus, 0.; IM. C. Ives. Chicago; Frank bedgewiok Palmer. express messenger; John MoMas tere, Springfield, brakeman; J. H. Murray, G+esnbush, N. Y., baggage master; Mrs. J. S. Winehell, Oneida. N. Y.; an unknown woman, apparently about 45; George W. Morse. Boston, Wagner eqr aonduotor; J. C. Staekpole. Hartford. Conn.; I. C. Hitchcook, Bellow Falls, Vt. There were about fifteen seriously in jured and five or six may die. 'Lhe train was seven minutes late at Chester, and railroad hands say it was going at the rate of twenty miles per hour. When it struck the first of the two span bridges the trusses collapsed and fell over to the south. The conducetor was takinl tickets in the day coach, and although thrown violently down, esoared serious injury. There are only a few houses In the vieaity., and a man driving by gave the alarm through the village street. In a few minutes hundreds were on the scene, ren dering aid to the imprisoned people. The berees of the hour were Dr. George L. Wood of Collinsville, who went to the tratin to meet his wife, and the colored por ters' and waiters in the dining car. Al. though their faces were bruised and out and covered with blood they did splendid work. The wounded were soon removed to houses near by and oared for. Many of those killed were horribly mangled and only ten were recognizable by their cloth ing. Pitiful scenes were enacted by those who found either a friend or loved one among the dead. Many narrow esoapes were recorded. 'I he bridge looks as though it had been thrown from its abattments, rather than broken down, and lies to the right.' Thees facts suggest the theory that the blow of the locomotive, as it struck the bridge from the caurve, sent it bounding off its foundations to the river. Blilroad offiials say they find no maeks on the bride snuch as would be made by a derailed sain. They have no theories to offer to account for the fall, but promise a com plete investigation. A Court Room Scene in Chicago of a Re markable Sort. CmCAooo. Aug. 81.-An extraordinary scene was witnessed in the superior court this morning. In the absence of Judge Stein, who issned an order forbidding the closing of the World's fair gates on Sun day, the management applied to Judge Goggin to dissolve the o der. He cailed Judges Dunne and Brentano to sit with him. They agreed that the order be dis solved. Goggin held it should be contin ued in forea. At the opening of the court this morning he (i' eted the clerk to enter anr order contiauinu the case sixty days, or till after the close of the fair. Judge Dunne insisted on his right to read the opinion of the majority and dit so. Then, after a wordy wrangle, a private conference of the three judges was herd, at the close of which Uoggiqannounced that he no longer de sired the ottler judges to sit with him. They retired and Gougin overruled the mo tion to dissolve, and refused to set a date for the hearing of the motion to vacate the order. G(oggin afterwards gave as a reason for his extraordinary aetion that to set aside Judge Stein's order would cause the people to lose confidence in the judiciary. He made a long and rambling address to the audience in court, relative to taking public parks for private use. it is denied that he was under the in fluence of liquor. STATE NEWS.

AN OLD HOLDUIP JLECALLEI). I Marlon Gamble Wants to (et Out of At binny ?'ealtentlmry. Associate Juntice DeWitt, of the supreme , court, is in reelipt of a letter from Marion Gamble, a life convict in the Albany, N. Y., penitentiary, asking him if he will endorse a petition to President Cleveland to lessen his sontence by the eaerolse of the pardon ing power. Gamble writes that in the autoumn of 1888 he was jointly indieted with Fred Wiley and Thoe. lheldon in the United Hlates court at Deer Lodge, Mont., for "robbery of the United Mhatese ail by placing life in jeopardy." iHe was tried, and was prosoceted by Judge DeWitt, who was then United Htites district attorney. He was convioted Deo. 18, 1883 and sen e tenced to imprisonment for life. Wiley and Hheldon were arraigned separately afterwards and pleaded gpolty to a crime of lesser degree, and were given seven and ten years teepeotively. Gamble was tranefet red from the Iowa penitentiary to Albany in 1886. He writes that he ie now a suppliant for ozeeutive elemoeny, after having under e gone imprisonment at h.rd labor for k nearly ten years. ie says that as all three t men were partieipants to the erime he hna r felt that they were all equally guilty, and he considers his unnishment dispropor tionate to that of Wiley and Sheldon. The I superintendent of the Albany prison, he y mave. is interesting himself in his behalf. n The holdup for which Gamble is under g going punishment was one of ive that oc curred before the completion of the No th a ern P'acifo and when stages were oun be e tween Townsend and Missoula to connect e the termini of the road, This partionlar t holdup oacurred in the Dog Creek hills, joustbeyond the Sweetland stage statlon in SI)eer Lodge county. All the passengers were stood up in a row and robbed by the three men, who also took the mail saoks. A diamond ring belonging to a Chicago drummer named Penooyer, and worth 8000, was the mair evidence that secured Gam ° ble's conviction. Billy Sttele and Joe Roberts were detailed as denuty marshals a to run the robbers down. They osme up - with the men at Three Forks. One of the e men, Gamble, was in a store, and the other two outside. Steele held a shotgun on the men outside while Roberts t went in and eor eted Gamble. In the latter's stocking was found the Chicago man's ring. Gamble was the only one of the three who made a fight against conviction, and he weas convicted. SThe law allowed the judge no discretion in k offenses of that nature and Gamble got a life sentence. The other two ooncluded to plead guilty to a lesser offense and got off ecasetr. Gamble had deserted from Fort Custer, a where he was a burglar. shortly before the holdup. TEMPORARILY INSANE. Kate Hysup Attempts to Take Her Life SWVhlle Out of Her Senset. Kate Hysap. a domestic who has been in k the employ of Dr. G. C. Swallow for some time, and who is spoken of by all who a know her as a good and respectable woman. was before a jury yesterday in Judge Hunt's court, who were called to pass on her a sanity. Wednesday Undersheriff Hose was e called to the home of her sister, where Miss s Hysno had gone after leaving Dr. Swallow's the evening previous. Mr. Hoes found the e woman was insane and took her to the county jail. Drs. Ballard and Cole were e called, and did all they conld to nacify her, - )ith the result that towards evening she had quieted down. Early yesterday morn ing, however, Jailer Kelly yea called by two other inmates of the female ward. and found that Miss Hysup had attempted to hang herself, using the chain in the bunk f for the purpose. The jniler quickly re d leased her, and Sheriff Curtis, who was called, administered stimulants, and thus probably saved her life. e The jury found she was insane, and ree s ommended that she be kept at the jail for a time to see if she will recover. If she does not she will be sent to the Warm tprings e asylum. The United States court adjourned yes terday for the te m.

NILL HAVE TIlACf E IT. Goldbugs Outwitted in the Adop. tion of the Rules of the House. Oannot Prevent the Considerattlo of Bimetallic or Other Finan cial Legislation. No Dodging of the (reat Issue of the Times--omle .Clhanges l the Itules. WAsemrworox. Aug. 81.-The silver men stole a march on their opponents in the house today and Rained a victory which makes it impossible for the gold men to imrede consideration of bimetallic or lnan 1ial legislation that may be reported by the committee on coinage, welabhs and meas ares, and on banking and currency daring the coming session. The time honored custom in the house has been to make the reports of the committees on appropria tions and on ways and means privileged matters at all times. and when the new roles were being considered today, Sprin ger, chairman of the committee on bank ing and surrenoy. suddenly sprung an amendment extending the same favoritism to the committee on banking and currenoy. Kilgore immediately followed with an amendment also inoluding the committee on coinage, and although these amend ments were sharply opposed, the last was adopted by a vote of 188 yesa to ninety-frve nare, and the original role as amended was adopted by a vote of nearly two to one. Not until it was all over did the members of the house generally realize the immense victory gained by the bimetallists. Under this rule the committee on coinage can re port a silver bill at any time and force its consideration by the house, and the com mittee on banking and currency will enjoy the same facilities for forcing its measures to a vote in the house. Incidentally, also, the house by the adop. lion of these amendmentse, has broken away from the leadership of the committee on rules, presided over by Speaker Crisp, and declared that it shall no longer be in the power of that committee to determmne whether free colnege bills shall be aocorded consideratien or whether the attention of the house shall be direoted to other legisla tion. An amendment to increase the member ship of the committee on rales was lost. An amendment was adopted giving the committee on ways and means juri liotion over all measeres purporting to raise rev enue. Several other amendments affeoting committees were lost. A motion to strike from the proposed rales the clause which permits the espeaker to decide what is a dilatory motion was discussed at length, pro and eon, and wae finally rejected. An amendment was then offered which puates it in the power of any member who is in charge of any proposi tion on the floor to propose cloture at say time that he thinks it advisable to do so. The previous question was ordered on the amendment and pending fnrther action the house adjourned. LONG DEATH ROLL. Fatalities Resulting From the Storm Num ber Hundreds. AuousTA, Gs., Aug. 31.-A special from Beanfort says that over three hundred and ninety dead bodies have been found on the islands shout Beaufort and Fort Royal. Over $2.000,000 worth of property have been wrecked near the same points. Both are the direct result of the severe storms which swept along the Atlantic coast Sun day night.
