WASNINoTON, Jan. 17.-After being in
continuous session for 80 hours and after
voting on several amendments to the
elections bill the sanate at 6 o'clock te
night adjourned till londay. In dourse
of the debate the democrats gave notice
that they proposed to keep up the pree
est tactics end exhaust every pelarsment
ary method for bringing about the defeat
of this bill. There will prbbably be a
republican canucus held Monday night to
decide on what ection shall be taken by
the party on the bill, or what position
they will assume o i the proposed closure
rule. There is a growing feeling that
the party will be united suiclently sii
carry through the measure. Those who
heretofore opposed it are now with their
party in many parts of it. They don't
wantto oppose the bill with the demo
crats. Certain It is the silver senators are
desirous of some kind of action on the
bill in order toget it out of the way, and
their anxiety on this point is construed
bythe holeful element into a disposition
on their part to adops the speediest and
most premiong meth.d of achlerving
their desire, which If-it does not admit
of their voting for the bill will at least
wa.rant them is refusing to follow the
lead of the demooratic minority in far
as it would favor the adoption of dilatory

committee on the Woldc's fair, today pre

committee that went to Chicago to ex

in relation to the World's fair. The re
port says that in the expenditure of pub

World's Columbian commission had pro

necessary expenditure of public money
which had seen intended by congress so
pay the ,xpensle of the government ex

officers of the commission.
Tof report oppoets dual management
of the fair, and says the World's golum

contmittees to conduct the managemeni
of the fair in its executtve detail, which
in our interpretation of the law be

A BEWER EXPLOSION.
A Sawer Iashols in a Crowded Street nr
Chielsgo xplodoe With Fatal and
DIlaUtrous leaults.
CalcAoo, Jan. 17.-With a crash heard
for a mile, and smashing plate glass
windows for a radious of three blocks, a
sewer man hole exploded this avemnig at
the Intersection of Jackson street and
Wabash avenue when both thoroughfares
were crowded with shoppers and work
people. Dozens of people were thrown
from their feet by the terrifio force of
the explosion and a wild panic ensued
among those left unstunned. A number
of passersoby were injured by falling
glass. In the excited crowd were many
ladles. One woman, Mrs. CO. Rosa,
(colored), was killed outright. Her death
was a shocking one. She was stepping
nearly upon the fatal man hole when the
covering, With atertltng sudde.nnes, flew
skyward and she was slammed blawaud,
at against the curbing. The womsa's
skull was split open and her brains were
scattered about in a cirhle on the stone.
A little four-year-old colored tby Who
was witl her, strangely escaped injury,
not receiving -, much as a scratch. F
H. Mack ,eceived serious scalp wounds
from a stone that was shot out of the
pavement and had a painful gash In his
wrist from a jagged piece of window
lass.
Up to a moment before the explosion
police officer Moore who is regularly
stationed at that corner, bad been stand
ing on the man hole corner almost eon
tinuously for hours. A right of way dis
pute between teamsters caused him to
change his position in the nick of time,
and doubtless saved his life.
Persons injured by the glaesaside from
Mack were Gt. M. Staet, T. Sheldon, J.
Carplers and E. W. Waddell. None
were dangerously hurt except Stout, one
one of whose hands was nearly severed
from his arm. The offices of the Singer
Sewing Machine company were most
damaged in the neighborhood. Out of
saxt) windows in the company's premi
ses not one has a whole pane left.

Co.A, Mont., Jan. 16, 1891. bi
The grand masquerade ball given last
night by Cressap h Decombes' was an th
unusually pleasant affair and was a suc- he
cess in every particular. The large hall
was testefully decorated-with evergreens
and the floor could have been ao better. of
At an early hour the people for 25 miles is
around begun to arrive and after passing t
to the convenient dressing rooms up w
stain soon came down In varied costumes aI
representing many different characters, a
A number of the costumes were rich and m
the characters well represented. When th
all were assembled the hall presented a ar
striking appearance and when the splen- cC
did music furnished by Chamberlain a
brothers struck up queens and clowns,
peUeants and nobles, sailors and soldiers
and Poor Lo became animated and moved
in excellent time to the rhythmic mess
urea. Several of the characters were
worthy of especial mention. Miss Rich. $1
ardson, Mim Maloney and Mrs. Fitch
each represented the Queen of Night, l
I and while the character was the same the
different representatives gave beautiful ci
variety. Miss Watson was glorious as an
Italian peasant girl and her beautiful hair bs
and dark eyes made victims of more than gi
one masculine heart. Miss Payne ap
pritslyreptbsented the Joker. Miss
a.hahon es a demure dusting maid.
Mrs. Crowder took the character of a fire. o
man. Mrs. E. W. Ridley and Miss Fitch
represented duskey maidens from the pi
susny land. E. B. Woodhard, as King
Coal was all that could be expected of as
royalty. Mr. Blain was an ideal
butcher. Mr. Selfred, Al. Rome t
and J. t. Bomen were dressed as
cadets. Rufus Payne represented
a lreman. Jer Wood was grotesque as
clown. Mrs. J. t Bomen wore a beauti
ful costume representing Diana, the god- IC
des of the chase. Mrs. Rowe represent
ad the beautiful snow. Mr. Elllot acted a
the .nglish dude to perfection, and last
but not least, Wm. Mrqueen as a hinese al
woman was an immense success. i
At midnitght Messrs. Cressap s De- a
combee served an excellent supper, to
which all did ample justice. Among
those present who were not an m.tqte
'were nticed Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hay,

Carter's MIneral Lands B.ll.
Representative Carter of Montana,from
the committee on mines and mining, to
day reported to the house with amend
ments the senate bill to cure defects in
the existing law with relation to mineral
lands, etc. The bill as reported makes a
number of changes in the existing law',
among them being provilsions preventing
the re-locaton of mining claims by per
sons who neglect to perform annual as
seesment work thereon; limiting the
amount of placer ground that can be pat
ented under one application to forty
acres. defining mineral lands as lands <

gold, silver, cinnabar or other material
bearing metal in quantites suftcient to
justify any reasonable person in expend.

mite incorporated cities or townsites on
mineral lands sulect to certain restric
tions and provides that where mineral
lands are reserved from operations of
land grants, proof shall be submitted to
the eoretary of intenror ef the character
of the land for which the patent is sought
under such grant.
The Ctsano Bule.
It was understood on the republican
side of the senate tonight when the mo
tion made by Walcott to adjourn was de
feated that the extension of the senate
f would not result In any measureable ad
vancement of the elections bill. The
real purpose was to convince a few re.
publican senators who are of conserva
I tive opinions that the old met.tod of pass
iog measures obnotlous to the minorohy
r by excess of sheer physical enduranpe is
no longer effective. The majority feel
r that after a short practice in the tactics
tried today a few senators who have:re
tained their bhllf in the old methods
y will consent to support the clcure rle
This measure is now on the calendar and
it can be taken up at a moment's no(lce
by an affirmative vote, and it is rumored
that an effort may be made tomorrow.
But just what may he done is uncertain.
