Bradley was locked up in tbe city ball police station last night as a suspicions cbaraoter, but was released this morn ing. Workmen about tbe Postal build ng say he wae loafing around all day, hiding behind piles of brick. In the aitoruoou he came out and said the police . and Superintendent Mattbies were trying to murder him for stealing $000.

An infuriated . •molt quickly eathored, and ten police men lind !■. difficult task to get the itnr derer out. The WGrkinginen in the build.ng and other members of the mob wanted to ly/ch him. Bradley held them at bay behind a pile of cornice Material, revolver in hand. The police tired a number of ehots and i ordered him to come out. Bradley finally came out on a run, and when a policeman seized him, fought like a wildcat. It required a severe clubbing to subdue him, and when the policeman ! finally got him out, he wbb a sorry looking eight. He wae taken to the ata i tion and the crowd dispersed. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR. Kdwlu Mould's first Startling Experi ence With n Crsnk. New Yokk, Oct. 30. —Edwin Gould, second son of tbe late Joy Gould and \ co-heir of tbe lattsr'l millions, had his 'first startling experience with a crank this afternoon. At 2 o'clock, ac Gould was sitting in his private office, a shab bily dressed mun entered, walked up to ' his desk and said : "'■iive u.e -5000 and give it to me j rjT-r.i,-, vi fcii ti a ttp uit ii'/tt iirargar." Gould asked him to sit down until he | got the money from the safe. The I crank sat down, and Gonld stepped to a i e'de door and summoned Detective I Clark, who quickly took the young man ito police headquarters. Gouldhadbeen : prepared for hia visitor, who had called i at noon today, and being told by a clerk : that Ciouhi was out, said he would re j turn by 2 o'clock, when he wanted a tip lou the market or $5000. At police head quarters tbe crank eaid his name was Mongolia Andmwß. nnd f lint, hn wan 34 years old. His object in going to Gonld waa to get back $5000 which he lost in Hoaedale, Kan., while working on a rail road in the Gould eyatem. The police think he is iuaane. In a note book in hia pocket was a list of the wealthy men of New York city, with figures beside the name of each one, indicating what Andrews thought they were worth. Kansas City, Oct. 30 —Mongolia An drews, who waa arrested in New York today for demanding money from Edwin Gould, has been employed aa a telegraph in this city most of the time for the past 12 years. He has a wife and two children. He obtained a leave of absence two weeka ago, Baying be wished to visit his old home iv West Virginia. He has been" regarded sb ec centric by bis associates, but was not thought to be insane. PRENDERGAST'S BULLETS. They Might Have Found Lodgment ln the Hrart of tb» President. Washington, Oct. 30.—Prendergast's bullets, wtiicb took the life of Mayor Carter Harrieon, might have found lodgment in the heart of a United States senator, or even the president of the United States. For fully two weeks be fore the murder of Chicago's mayor, tbe assaeßin had been directing messages . through the mails to at least ore United States Beuator, which indicated that his mind was intensely wrought np against President Cleveland. Ihe burden of all those communications was the eilver question. Senator Dubois of Idaho aud otherß were recipients oi the commuiii tions, which have been received almost daily since October 9th. 4 Writing on tbe 21st met. he said: ''Repeal ia effectually beaten unless the cloture is resorted to to stifle the voice of the people: and if thia dishonorable, unconstitutional, unusual course is re sorted to, tbe peace of tbe nation ia neked, and no senator who votes ior tbe cloture can justify his course from a patriotic standpoint. I repeat that re peal ia defeated unless tbe cloture ia re sorted to." On the 24th he wrote: "I notice a waverintf 111 the ranks of the eilver ene mies. Your aide iB now the strongest. If you are determined, firm and patient you can win. The best thing to do is to light it out. Look out for artifices on tbe part of your opponents. Remember that the strongest and most intelligent leadership ia on tht part of the silverite side and Orover Cleveland is impotent. Tiie cry for repei.l is simply a whim of his. Is the United States Benate going to yield to an irresponsible president's whim?" On the 2Ctb he wrote: "Hold the fort. The president i*aa about to give up the light, when ceitain persons like John Sherman and Banker Benedict ot .New York ro-animated him. If yon hold out, you ate sure to win. They dare not attempt the cloture. Hill 01 New York has no influence in the sen ate, owing to his unsavory record in New York. The president haa become tired and will give np in despair if yon delay the vote as long as possible, by every means at your command." He adds a postscript to this note, in which he Bays : "I have done and shall continue to do my duty." The eilver senators paid no attention to these screeds for tbe reason tbat since the silver fight began they have been receiving many oi a similar nature from all parts of the country aDd from people apparently excited on both Hides of the question. These have included en couraging letfera aa well as pome telling them that if they did not coaee their opposition to the repeal bill they would be shot down like dosjp. HARRISON'S SLAYER. The Assassin as Yet Shows No Remorse for His Act. Chicago, Oct. 30.—Prendergaat, Mayor Harrison's assassin, apparently slept soundly from midnight till t> o'clock this morning, when the clanging of the cell bolts, moved by the turnkey, waked biro. Ila sat moodily on hia coucb, refusing to talk, till breakfast was brought him, when he bright ened up, ate it with apparent r<"lisb, then' came to tlie front 01' the Qtjt arid Katoned with apparent interest to the gibed go ing iiOout aniDiig tbe other prisoners. VI venn reporter (or th-* Associated Press approi'ched him on t'm eutijectoi the assassination, be gave monosyllabic, dogged replies at liret, but finally re pented his former assertions (bat his reason for the deed waß that the mayor he l deceive 1 him nnd betrc.yed bim, •nd i:« took that means of netting eveu, declaring that he was justified in so do ing. A special meeting of the metnhsre of the city council was held this morniig, at which resolutions were passed calling a special menmrial meeting; providing tbat the body lie in eti'.te in tbe city hall from Tuesday mprning until Wed nesday morning, and inviting nil tbe I civic and military bodies in the oity and tbe citizenn generally to attend the funeral services. was indicted by the grand jury today for murder.

Tbe tragedy occurred ne.ir the cavalry BtaWes, and was witnessed by a number of cuvalrymen, but only one man, , Sargeant Cope land, heard the conversation that preceded it, and he haa been ordered to keep absolute silence until official in- j veetigation. There was a hot dispute | which ended by the lieutenant drawing a heavy Colt's revolver and shooting the captain in the groin. The wonuded man was taken to the hospital where he died an hour afterwards. Lieutenant Maney gave himself up and was placed under arrest. The officer of the day Corniah. held an examination at once, the result ot wijich is not yet made public. Col. R. E. Crofton, commandant of the poßt, Bays: "I believe the shooting wae done in eetf-deienee, us LieutenHnt Maney is not a man to reeort to art or of that kind without sufficient grounds." Captain Hedberg was 55 years old and a native of Sweden. He served as a re cruiting officor duriig the war. Lieu tenant Maney ie 36 ytars old. He grad uated at West Point. A story current at the post is tbat Captain Hedburg tbretteiiod come time ago to kill Lieutenant Maney. It is rumored that the captain came home unexpectedly, recently, and discovered the lieutenant in a ve'y compromising position. Captain Hediurg ia alleged to have told brother officeis that be would kill Lieutenant Maney cm sight, that be had ruined his home. At the examination Lisutenant Maney said: "The shooting was the result of trouble I had with Captain Hedburg a mouth ago over the ku'<oniining of bis basement, when he threatened to shoot me. I expected Captain IL-dburg to eboot me if I did not get him first, and consequently in eell-deleOße 1 bad to protect myself." Captain Hedburg was trwd hy a gen eral courtmarttal at Santa l c, N.

No Brilliant Ceremonies Marked the Conclusion. Closing Fetftg Cancelled on Account of Mayor Harrison's Tntpio Death, memorial Exercises Held ln the White Olty. By the Assoclnied Press, Chicago, Oct. 30.—The official life of the world's lair haa ended. This evening waa to have been one of dazzling bril liancy, but tiie awful, untimely death of Mayor Harrilbn changed all tbat. Appropriate uction waa taken at a me morial meeting in festival hail, as de ed ibed below, in memory of Chicago's beloved chief magistrate, and all the ceremonie?, except those mentioned, were abandoned. The last day of the world's fair opened with beautiful weather, but a pall hung over the great exposition, nnd its myriad flags floated at lialf-stnfT, inatead of tbe scene of dazzling splendor that wbb to have crowned a i,iy of brilliancy in speech and song. Unly the necessary liehtß were burned tonight, and the White city waa shrouded in darkness at an earlier hour than since it? opening. So with the tragic death of Mayor Har rison, the life and gaiety of the exposi tion went out forever. Instead of the festival of oratory and music, which was to have filled in the afternoon, memo ria! services were held in festival hall at which tributes were paid to the memory of Chicago's most characteristic citizen by world's fair offiejials, national and local, and by representatives of the as sembled nations. The great audience, some of whom had come from far distant Btates in or der to assist at the rejoicings over the successful ending of the great exhibi tion, lilling every eeat and cccupying e*very fnot of standing room, waß hußhed. President Palmer of the na tional commission presided. Rev. Dr. Harrowß delivered a prayer and read an addreas prepared by Presi dent Higinbothom, of the local direc- I tory, previous to the mayor's taking ell. This was thought best, becauee it was 'so consonant wit>b the spirit of the oxeetina]. I Alter .Mr. HiginbothaiuV speech, ap propriate resolutions concerning the taking off of Mayor Harrison, and pay ing to his memory a tribute of respect and admiration, were adopted. En grossed conies will be sent to tbe family of Mr. Harrison. Then President Thomas W. Palmer of the national coinmieeion announced that in view of the Bad circumstancea which brought the assemblage together tbe closing of tbe fair would be marked only by a ealute of cannon and the hauling down of the flaga. When that took place he declared, in obedience to tbe act of congress, the exposition would be officia'ly closed. The total paid attendance at the fair from the opening of the fair to the close nas been 21,458,5)10. The total free ad missions, which include employee of all kkidt, exhibitors, conceasiouaireei, etc., has been 5.5)53,818. Today's admissions were 242,575, of wtiicb 208,173 were paid.

Two Marooned Sailor* Rescued from a ! South Sra Inland, San Fbancisco, Oct. 30.—The schooner 1 Viking arrived tonight with ihe two sail- j ors who were marooned on Clipper- 1 j ton island lust May. Clipperton | island is a tiny speck in the | i South Pacific, and is covered ' with a guana deposit. A company wbb organized to work the deposit, and the j I schooner Compeer left for the island j with a force of men. The schooner wae forced to return to San Fran ! Cisco for supplies and machinery, I but in order to hold the island, 1 left two sailors there with provie ! ions for three mouths. The island j ;is a desolate spot, and the Bailors had i misgivings that the schooner would not | be back in three months, co one of tbem ! sent a letter to a friend in this city when i the Compeer sailed, telling of their fears of being deserted. The friend was asked to wait three months, and then if no vessel waa sent to take them off, he wae to make ttie letter public. Three months passed and ns the guano company made ;no move to rescue tbe men, the letter wbb published in tbe newspapers, i Finally, last August the schoon er Viking was cent after the de serted sailors. It was known here that the men's provisions would be exhausted ' before the Viking could reach them, and there wbb much speculation as to j their fale. The Viking found the men, Jensen and Hall, in good condition and brought them back to San Francisco. They had eked out their provisions by eating birds' eggs. WllgflH Vol utitarily Kwatored.

'He Says John Ked mood's Policy Is Sheer Insanity and Promises to Wreck the Hume Itule Cause. I -v, i Oopyilg-ht, 1803, by the AatOvlatei) Pia«F. London, Oct. 30.— T. P. O'Connor, J president \if the Irish National league jin Great R'itain, was aaked by tbe ' Associated Press to give hia views on the ! Irißh situation in general nnd particu- I larly on the attitude of John Redmond and other extreme Par nellites. O'Connor made a lengthy reply, in which he said be regrets Redmond's recent speeches, and for reasonß not dictated by any hostility Ito any section following him. The at i tempt of the Parnellites to retain for I tho Iriih fall strength in the im j periai parliament after home rule, was near landing tho party in disaster. Aa it is. the retention of even 80 members forms, one of the most effective weapons against home rule in | the next campaign. O'Connor regards I the urging of the demand for amnesty I for political prisoners, not only perilous for the cause of homo rule, but even I more destructive to what little chance ': the unfortunate men have of ever ! getting released. The adoption of tbe Parnellites policy would soread I the impression tbat home rule involves • sympathy with dynamite methods. ! This, of course, would mean defeat. Tbe I fundamental point about home rule is ! tbat every practical Irish politician must consider methods and measures with which to get a British majority of votes for tbe Liberals at the next election. Looked at from , this view the Redmond policy is insanity. Every vote given for the Liberal party I will lis for borne rule, and every vote | taken from the Liberals will be taken from home rule. Redmond asks the I Liberal government to do everything j the Liberals and Tories alike helieve I would lead to ite defeat. He aake that the Irish question be dealt with. In other words he asks the Lib eral ministry to go to tbe country with i out those Britiah measures which form their one chance of gaining a majority. I O'Connor thinks Redmond's policy is leading to the destruction of the home i rule ciuse in our geueration.

The Repeal Bill Passed by the Senate. A Majority of Eleven Recorded for the Measure. Intense Interest Taken iv the Vote aud Closing; Speeches. Morgan, Vest, Cookrell and Other, Sound a Solemn Warning to tho Democratic Tarty—The Vote In Detail. By the Associated Press. Wasuington, Oct. 30.—At 7:28 to . night, by a vote of 43 to 32, the senate, after one of the most remarkable parlia mentary battles of the generation, passed the bill unconditionally repeal ing the purchase clause of the Sherman silver law. The end wae reached at the entl of a continuous session of fourteen days, after sixty-one iSuye of debate, during which five volumes of the Con gressional Record were filled with speeches amounting in the aggregate to about 20,000,000 words. A BIODLAX FIKI.D DAY. This haa been a field day in the senate. No more interest haa been manifested at any stage of the long struggle than waa shown today, when the question at issue was practically de cided and the victors were simply awaiting the final vote to register their triumph. Before 11 o'clock the galleries were black with people, and a number of foreign repreaentativea looked down from the diplomatic gallery. The scene on the floor waß impressive. Nearly every seat waß occupied, while h. hun dred representatives from the lower house were ranged against the wall. The impressive stillnese was broken only by the rise and fall of the voices of the speakers as they delivered the final notes of triumph or warning. The senate and gaileriea seemed awe stricken. F.veryone seemed to feel deeply that the result of thiß great parliamentary struggle waa fraught with momsntovts niipo'lance to the county and that the policy about to be inaugurated was for weal or woe to (17,000,000 people. OP*JUNO INDICATIONS. Voorhees announced Saturday that Ihe would call for the final vote on the I repeal bill at 2 p.m. today, but aa it waa I known the bill waa still open to amend- I ment this morning, there wae ranch speculation as to what propositions might be launched at the last moment by tbe eilver men, who had nothing to lose and everything to gain by a sudden onslaught on the repoal forces, The opening indications were not promising for a vote aa early as Voorhees antici pated. Several western senators had expressed a deeire to speak, and as tbe time to be consumed by each waa rather indefinite, the final vote seemed more iikely to be delayed till 4or 5 o'clock this afternoon. There waa a manifest determination on tho part, of the repeal ' men to force a vote ns soon ac possible, I without violating senatorial courtesy. SPJSKCH-MAK&G BEGUN.

Therefore he had atudiutialy avoided voting for or against tbe i:rnrnu> nients tillered. There could be but one i solution. Free coinage of the Arneri- I can silver product was necessary to our ! prosperity. The senate could not with ! sell-reepect uass Bticn a measure aa thia. :It was argued in support of the bill I that repeal would, force Furope to I join us in an agreement for the use of silver. That was cutting off the American martet, for silver wonld throw 50,000,000 ounces per year on the European market in the hope of breaking down tho market price. With a deficit of (7,000,000 per month in toe treasury, we would do well if we could keep 150,000,000 gold iv the treaeury. We weto wasting our silver.our gold and our credit.
