BABY RUTH'S NOSE BROKEN
A Little Stranger Pays a Visit to tlie
' , Family.
MOTHER AMD BABE ARE WELL
The, First Time In Our HUtorjf That a
Frealilent'i Child Haa Itcan Born in
' the White House.
Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 9. Mrs. Clveland
gave M rth to a baby girl at; noon,
Mother and child are doing well. It was
over an hour after the baby was born,
1 before any one outside the White
House was aware of the fact. The af
fair was kept a close secret until Dr.
Rryant was convinced that the mother
had undergone the ordeal safely and
that the baby was well and sound.
Though the press Intimated at times
that Mrs. Cleveland would become a
mother In time, the birth of the baby
today was somewhat of a surprise as
Mrs. Cleveland was out driving last ev
onlnj.
The baby was born at noon. From
time to time during the morning, the
president wasquletly advised as to the
condition of affairs In the sick-room,
and at exactly 12 o'clock, Dr. Bry&nt
summoned him from the reception room
and mare the important announcement
Something like a shade of disappoint
ment swept across Cleveland's face as
tha physician told him that the new
born babe was a girl. This Is the first
time in the history of the republic that
the, wail of a new-born Infant of the
president of the United States has been
heard within the walls of the White
House. :
i THE SILVER QUESTION.
New York, Sept. Bourke Cochran,
the leader of the Cleveland forces in
thcij house, has obtained leave, of ..ab
sence and Is festlng at his country
house at Sands Point. He Is nervously
exhausted. His condition, however, is
not serious.
Washington, Sept. 9. The fifth week
of the extraordinary session of the sen
ate closed today, and so far as out
ward appearances indicate, that body
Is no nearer a conclusion upon the
question before it than it was the day
after Voorhees reported his bill from
the finance committee. The senators
who oppose the repeal of the Sherman
law talk as bravely of continued oppo
sition, though they are hardly so con
fident of the press upon the voting list
as vhen they were first called together.
It Is evident from the present at least,
they mean .to talk indefinitely upon the
financial question, with the hope of
forcing some conclusion from the presi
dent and a majority of the senate.
On the house side of the capitol, but
little credence is given to the reports
of compromise action in the senate On
the repeal bill. It is evidently the plan
of tha house leaders to prevent at this
time, any kindnpd financial currency
legislation which might complicate the
situation In tho house. They. do not
propose, however, to allow the house
to fold its hands and adjourn from day
to ady until action Is had oh' the re
peal proposition in the senate. As soon
as tin bills can be reported from the
committee tho house will take up the
bills to admit the territories of Arizona,
New. Mexico, and Utah, the bill to re
peal the federal election law, and pos
sibly the bankruptcy bill. These meas
ures will keep the house busy until the
f-enate's acts will show the country
that something Is being done, and at
the same time prevent consideration of
financial bills that might complicate
the fight for repeal in the senate.
Washington, Sept. 9. President Cleve
land absolutely refuses to consent to
grant any concessions In the silver
fight says the Evening Post." More than'
this, he will not promise to agree to
any recognition of silver, even should
the repeal be passed. His position has
the renewed confidence of the friends
of unconditional repeal who assert that
they have tnwaering faith in the final
passage of the measure. With the u
derstanding that the president stands
upon the platform of unconditional re
peal or nothing, the senators have set
tled down for a long siege. In the mean
time, the democrats in the senate are
concerned for their ' party, and will
make a careful canvass.
MORE LYNCHING S OF NEGROES.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 9. BenJ.
Jackson, a colored man, was lynched
near Qulncy last night. About a year
ago ne ana Tnomas . wooameyer, b

gro threw rat poi?on Into Woodmeyer'e
well. Three cf Woodmeyer's children
died from drinking the poisoned water,
Woodmeyer hlmst-lf dying. Thirty
r..-:i.Ws visited the family and dmifa
of the water and maiiy are not expect
ed' to live. Jackson . confessed to the
crbne before being put to death. Fbur
other negroes are thovght to have been
f'TipHcated In the- poisoning were
oaght today and are guarueu by an
armed mob tonight, while the citizens

found, all five will undoubtedly be
lynched 'tonight. The excitement Is In
tirnse and the lynching is expected to
be done before morning. ' f
MURDERED IN HER OFFICE.
Kansas City, Sept. 9. A shocking
murder was committed today In a
prominent office building at Junction,
the ' most prominent location In the
business district of this city. Mrs. Jane
Wright, better known ns"Madanie
Wright," a well known employment
agent, was killed in her office. Her face
had been cruelly beaten and her hands
and. feet securely tied wlth stout wrap
ping; cord. Deep red imprints of human-fingers

probably be opened to settlement early

Good Order.
Associated PreM.
Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 9. Governor
Markham has sent a letter to Secretary
Gresham today pertaining to the Chi
nese dllllcul'.ies. The governor says: "I
am pleased to Inform you that open
hostilities have ceased and, . as far as
I can learn, good order Is restored.. I
deem It, however, my' duty to inform
you that an outbreak may occur at any
moment utiles assurances In some form
are given by th'i authorities at Wash
ington . that the laws of the United
States regarding, the Chinese' are to be
carried into' effect within a reasonable
time. The fact that the law 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 the sanction of
many of our citizens. , I shall do all I
ought to. protect these people, but I
cannot be held responsible beyond that
point."
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 9. Tho Urf-
Red States marshal has received orders

to it that Chinamen are deported who
have been convicted of not having reg
istered." . .
The laundrymen, Chinese vegetable
dealers, and cooks havo struck, and
not one vegetable wagon was seen on
the streets this morning. Tho laundries
are( short handed aihd collecttuiis of
money -are being takctlby Chinamen
who notify patrons that no more1 work
will be taken. The hotel keepers have
been forced to send wagons Into the
country to get vegetables. Over throe
hundred applications for warrants have
been made. None will be, Issued, how
ever, until after the Jail Is cleared of
these Chinamen at present there.
Washington, Sept, 9. It Is probable
that .the protest of the Chinese gov
ernment against the rigid enforcement
of the Geary exclusion law will be re
spected, and that legislation may be
enacted which Will amend the existing
law by extending the limit allowed for
registration, although In no wise re
ceding from the piipition heretofore as
sumed by this government as to the
constitutionality of the menuro. Con
gressman Everett of Massachusetts, to
day Introduced a house bill which ex-
lends the time of registration from
May Sth, 1893, to September 1st, 1894.
The effect of this bill, If enacted Into
law, will be practically to nullify the
Geary law until September 1st, 1894,
when It will go Into effect with all its
specifications. Its passage It is thought
will restore cordial relations between
the United States and China, i
