W A*H!SOTOS Cirr, Oct 23.—The pre
vailing opinion in the senate late this af
ternoon is that rflurts to secure compro
mise on the Democratic s>de will cot te re
newed. There are indications that there
will not be many more speeches, and when
th«*se are concluded voting must necessa
rily begin. The Republican senators will
mske an effort to agree upon a measure,
which hardiy swms probable, and will
try to get Democratic senatots* assistance
sufficient to put the bid through. It now
develop* that there were eight Democrats
who d a not sign the agreement to support
tne compromise. They were Hnl, Mills,
Mitchell of W-sconsitv. MePherson, Vilas,
Voorhees. Caffery and Irby.
About the only definite announcement
made after compromise was declared off
was that there would be no effort to
morrow at cloture and that the silver men
had reorganised their lorcas and were pre
pared to continue the lifht indefinitely.
Whether given out in earnest or for a pur
pose some of the silver senators an
nounced. when they heard the comj ro
mise bill wonid not be presented, it bat
they would make no moas factious oppo
sition, but would give way as soon as the
prepared speeches were concluded and let
the repeal bill pass. There can be little
doubt tnat Senator Voorhees bad in mind
early in the day, when he said he would
ask for adjournment instead of a recess to
night, the bringing up of a cloture resolu
tion tomorrow. When he afterward al
lowed a recess instead of adjournment he
cut off all possibility of taking that ques
tion up now.
Senators Palmer and Mcpherson and
other repeal senators had a long confer
ence with the president today. When he
returned to the senate chamber Palmer
said he thought cloture would be under
taken soon. "It has come," he said "to be
a question whether the minority shall rule.
It ia more important even than the finan
cial question. We shall have to have
that tight out." It Senator
Palmer expressed the sentiments of the
executive.
There is no mistaking the fact that
many silver Democratic aenators feel
greatiy relieved that the compromise
amendment will not be offered. They say
they surrendered their convictions con
trary to their best judgment, and they are
more than willing to Lave the administra
tion take the responsibility of not accept
ing a settlement. Some repeal senators
who have heretofore stood staunchly by
the administrator are alto criticising the
CQUrse which was pursued in the compro
mise matter by the administration.
Senator* opposed to unconditional re
peal are still laboring to secure a majority
of Democratic senators in favor of compro
mise One of them said tonight that they
had secured, including Senator Daniel,
who signed today, thirty-three names.

WABHISOTOW CITY. Oct. 23.— 1n the
house the senate amendments to the Raw
lins bill for the relief of the Mormon
church were agreed to.
Ktlgore objected to a bill authorising
the payment of the expenses of L. L»
Williams, World's fair commissioner from
Alaska, on the ground that it would result
in a deluge of such claims.
The printing bill was passed, 167 to 17.
Consideration of the bill to provide for
the construction of a steam revenue cutter
on the Great Lakes, to replace the Andrew
Johnson, was then resumed. Loud of
California offered a substitute including a
provision for a revenue cutter for the har
bor of San Francisco. Chairmnu Sayers,
of the appropriations committee, opposing
the substitute, served notice on his Demo
cratic colleagues that unless they joined
with him in economising this wou d he a
billion dollar congress. Loud withdrew
bis substitute. The bill was thus passed.
The house then proceeded to considera
tion of thi bankruptcy hill. Oates opened
the debate in advocacy of it. W. A. Stone,
of Pennsylvania, let the opposition to the
bill in a strong and carefully prepared
speech. Sibiey of Pennsylvania opposed
the bill as the incarnation at ail evils. At
the conclusion of Sibley 's speech the housa
adjourned.
In the Senate.
WASNTSOTO* CITT. Oct. 23.—The senate
met at 10 o'clock. Xo adjournment hav
ing taken place since a week ago today,
the legislative day ol October 17 continues.
Stewart ot Nevada gave notice ot an
amendment he intended to offer to the
repeal bill, proposing a conference to be
held at Washington City within nine
months between delegates of the United
States. Mcaieo, Central and South Amer
ica, Haiti and Saa Domingo tor the adop
tion of a common suver coin to be legal
tender between citizens of the countries
represented.
Cons deration of the silver repeal bill
was then resumed, and Jones of Nevada
resumed his argument in opposition to the
bill. Jones made an elaboration of the
argumenta he was alvaocicg when the
senate took a recess Saturday evenine,
that the standard of the country could be
neither (fold, silver, nor a material thing,
but that whatever the standard might be.
it was quantative, and the value of
each unit depended upon the nam
ber of units, and that there eouid
be but a single standard in the country
and that one of quantity. L»s#t summer
the Hri: ah government. desiring to show
its sympathy with the o v .j»ct of the ad
m n-siration in thss country, issued an
order with a vie# of t«c ii atng the de
scent of silver. The order iu taken by
New York to be an announcement of the
doora of silver. Daring this time where
w*s the Tnited States «".vern merit, a I all
nations the moat interested ? Ihe position
of the chief magistrate >f th i% country on
the question was we;l u.ustrated by the
line tram Emerson, " I am the doubter,
and doubt," but in a word of the suppie
roer.tat line the genius of the republic
admonished the president as we>i a» Great
Britain and the people of the United
Stales that it did not propose to be left oat
of cons deration as to what should be the
material of their money. The l T nit*d
States .1 not yet a dependency of Great

i Al 118 p. ra. Janes remarked that he
| deairod to yieid the door to Teller of
Co«orado. express nc a desire to resume
his speech a: another time. TeLer
answered the question as to whether he
thought the government of the United
States could with the coinage of siiver
maintain parity between gold and s Iver
by saving it could, because he dd not be
lieve more ai.ver would come to the e>un
t»y than bu-oness wou>d absorb. In oiher
words, tne remand would be equal to the
sunply. "Free coinage by the United
{ t tatea alone might not do It," said Teder.
jin answer to a query by Palmer. "The
| position I take js that our example wouid
be followed by other countries and then
| the monetarv system of the world would
! return to the system that prevailed prior
i to the demonetization o: si ver by Ger
| many, the United States, tne Latin Union,
| etc."
Stewart then addressed the senate in ad
vocacy of his proposed amendment for a
pan-American conference. Without con
es wart yielded, and the senate
took a receas until tomorrow.
Red art inn of fees in Land Caaea.
Wabhisoto* Cirr, Oct. 23.—8eil of
Colorado has introduced a bill to reduce
the fees for transcnoing testimony in land
cases in states west of the Mississippi
river. Msny years ago the officers of the

been obviated, the members of congress
from the West have been asked to hava

Chicaoo, Oct. 23.—[Special.J—As crows
fly to where the meat is gatnered, so are
dying to Chicago those numerous gentle
men who hope to gain something from the
break-op of the stat« exhibit. Judge W.
D. Wood and Prof. O. B. Johnson, of the
board of regents; President C. R. Connors,
of the agricultural college, and others are
either here or on their way here. It ap
pears that most of the exhibit has been
"promised" by I>r. B alock to President
Connors, of the agricultural college. At
present the doctor has an itch for promis
ing. He has promised the state building
aud its contents to Director General Davis,
to the Chicago museum, to the agricul
tural college, and is now on the lookout
lor somebody alse to promise it to. As a
matter of fact, he is premature. Got. Mc-
Graw will supervise the breaking-up of the
exhibit, and it is not all cut and dried aa
to where it is going. Dr. Bialock will have
no more say than auy other member of the
board as to where it shall go.
Apropos of the coming hereof Judge
Wood and Prof. Johnson, when these dis
tinguished gentlemen arrived at Wilson
Creek, in Douglas county. Wash., the for
mer sent the following dispatch to En
Meany: "Prof. Johnson and I arrive
Saturday night. Answer. W. D. Wood."
This rather staggered Meany, for he had
not contemplated a general reception, bnt
he wired back: "God bless you. It ia
welt to be here. Ed S. Must." It was
wired "collect," and it is presumed the
gentlemen in question will charge that
collection up to their expenses. What
they wanted Meany to answer back ia as
yet unknown. Chicago was atill at the old
stand, and there was no reaaoo to believe
that it would move before they got here.
The incident ia causing a general laugh
here at the expense of the worthy and im
portant regents.
Dr. Blalocit'a hasty action in causing the
arrest of Eion Etdred, nephew ot Tom
Cavanaugh, for helping himself to a pear
has gained for the president of the state
board the dislike of those connected with
the building. Conversations are carried
on loud enough for the doctor to hear, of
the following tenor:
"Look out, now; Brown will call the
patrol."
••Why?"
"Well, you stole tome pears last night"
In fact, it seems to be the thing to "roast"
the doctor on this proposition. Legally
the matter has been dropped, but Klon
E.'lred and Dr. Bialock do not speak as
they pass by. Royal Dye. who plated the
aneak in the matter, has been appointed to
a place on the Columbian Guards, whether
through Dr. Bialock's iutluence or not is
unknown.
The weather today wai perfect, and the
ufrual large crowd attended the fair, in
cluding many Sew Yorkers who remained
in the city after Manhattan day. Tonight
the chieia of departmenta gave a reception
in honor of the foreign, national and atate
commissioners, the directors and board of
lady managers. The reception was heid in
the Massachusetts building, which was
elaborately decorated.

FEDRO. Oct. 2&—{Special."!—About 3a. m.
yesterday thirteen contraband Chinamen,
accompanied hy two white men. were
»een passing on the Seattle. Lake Shore A
Eastern railroad south of Sumas. One of
the white men is supposed to be the cele
brated Terry, who figured so conspicu
ously in the Chinese shooting affray near
this place two years ago.
The com pan r was observed by two citi
rfns of Suruas, who followed them to near
Wickersham. where they attempted to ar
rest the contrabands. The white men,
who were evidently smugcters. opened fire
upon their pursuers, ana the two citizens
returned the compliment. One Chinaman
fell, a ball having passed through his
thigh. The guides and nine Chinamen
broke for the woods and escaped. One
Chinaman, together with the wounded
one. were put under itrrest and held till
Deputy Collector Maloney, of Whatcom,
and Marshal Pium arrived. The officers
brought the two Chinamen to Sedro. The
wonnded one was taken to St. Elisabeth's
hospital, where his wound was dressed.
The wound is very painful, but the doctor
thinks it will not prove tataU The officers
and a posse of citisens were guarding all
the trails snd roads last night, and suc
ceeded in capturing three more Chinamen.
The others are supposed to be south of
this place, and the officers expect to cap
ture all before tomorrow.
WHATCOM. Oct. 2D —Deputy Collector of
Customs Malonry returned this afternoon
with four Chinamen captured at various
points between Wsckersham and Burling
ton since Sunday morning at 2 o'clock.
One, wouuded in the leg at Wickersham,
was loft in the hospital at Sedro Sunday
morning. S&aloney received a telegram
from James Doran at Wickersham. stating
that three Chinamen had been captured
there at 2 a. m. and one had been wounded.
Maioney started for Wickersham at once,
and then went to Sedro and thence to Bur
lington, where two more were caught Sun
day night at 10 o'clock. At I o'clock Mon
day morning another was caught seven
miles above Sedro. Thirteen Chinese
passed Wickersham, three of whom were
captured by the people there, th* remain
der scattering for the woods.
At 2:30 this afternoon Inspector Stenger

TOLEDO, Oct 23*—[Special.]—For jrnn
past the development of the upper part,
and in fact the whole of the Cowlits river
▼alley east of the Northern Pacific rail
road, has been seriously delayed and
handicapped by a total lack of transporta
tion facilities. After vainly waiting for
some railroad capitalists to realize what a
vast amount of wealth lies tributary to a
line of road that should parallel th« Cow
litz river, the ranchers and business men
along the river, from one end to the other,
have banded themselves together and or
ganized a joint stock company, known as
the Cowlitz River Transportation Com
pany, and will build a number of small,
light-draft steamers to navigate the Cow
lits river to • point at least forty miles
above thia place. Capt. F. G. Lewis, J. W.
Studebaker, G. W, Rowan, D. llracht,
!L C. Mayfield, I). B. foaming and J.
Bragg, are the trustees of the new com
pany, with Capt. I<ewia as president and
general business manager. Work will
commence at once on the first boat, to be
constructed at Maylieid, about twenty-five
miles above Toledo, on the Cowlitz river.
It is expected that the first boat will be
ready to ply the river by New Year's day.
United States Commissioner McDonald
has chosen the Cowlitz river an one of
the streams in which a salmon fish hatch
ery shall be established. State Fish Com
missioner Crawford thinks the Cowlitz
one of the best streams in the state for a
fish hatchery. A few years ago It was de
termined to stock the stream with catfish.
Thousands of the little fellows were turned
loose in the river. They proved to be
"mud cats," snd not fit for food. Ths
stream sbounds with them. It is fesred
tbey will prove destructive of the young
ssimon.
Unlawful fishing hss been indulged in
to s considerable extent on the &>wlits
river. A band of Itslisns near the mouth
of the river hsvs been the most aggreasivs.
They hsve st last corns to grief, having
been arrested while In the act of violating

The firm coo Id not collect from firmer!
on Account of damage wrought to crop*
by the recent storms, and of court*
it could not par its creditor* in fall.
These Portland houses demanded a chat
tel mortgage on the entire stock, which
the company refused to give because such
action would discriminate against the
other creditor*. The Portlandere then
attempted secretly to get out attachment*,
but failed to secure bondsmen among th*
business men of Colfax. The delay thus
caused gave the Pullman Mercantile Com
pany a chance, so the director* rushed
down from Pullman at night and com
ported the assignment.
Portland creditors seem to be making a
systematic effort to crush Eastern Wash
ington debtors, since the ruined harvests
have inflictad a burden that practically
shuts out all collections.
