Republican Anti-Silycr Men Give a
Deal of TrouWe. .
ALL NEGOTIATIONS ABE OFF
Voorhee is ConHdent that the Majority
for the Repeal Kill can Whip
the Minority into Terms.
Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 30. The leading
democratic senators, who have been
trying for the past forty-eight hours
to arrange terms acceptable for a com
promise on the silver question, have
encountered a very determined obsta
cle today, when they approached the
republican antl-sllver men who thus far
have beer, acting with the democratic
repeal forces. The republicans simply
declare that there Is no common
ground upon which they could act with
the democrats longer If unconditional
repeal was to be abandoned. When It
came to negotiating for terms with sil
ver, they announced their intention of
flocking by themselves and declared
that they were ready to fight the com
promise to a finish. The bellicose at
titude of the republicans disheartened
the democratic repealers, and caused
the compromisers to halt temporarily at
least. Senator Voorhees is in no way
connected with the compromise move
ment. He said today that he had no
reason to despair of the passage of the
lepeal bill In Its original form,' and
thought it quite ridiculous to conclude
that in a body of eighty-five men a
majority of fifteen could not secure a
vote upon any given proposition.. He
said he felt convinced that the major
ity could hold out as long as the mi
nority. "If," said he, "we cannot pass
the bill this fall, we can continue our
effort, during the winter, and If we do
not conclude work in the fall, winter
and spring, we can do Ilka Grant
'fight It out on that line if it takes all
summer. If I could force a vote I
should of course do so, but there is no
such rule whereby I can do that. I
am satisfied, however, if we hold on
with sufficient persistence, that we will
get it in time."
The rt solution offered In the senate
yesterday by Chandler, of New Hamp
shire, calling for information as to a
oommlasion to investigate the New
York custom hoiiee, came "up. Chan
dler spoke in favor of its adoption, and
called the attention of Senator Hill es
pecially to the matter in order that he
might tell the senate if he wanted to
know whether any of the vacancies
made, by the commission had been filled
by anti-snapper democrats. Chandler
said he was now supporting the presi
dent in his efforts to secure the re
peal of the silver law, but this would
not deter him from criticising the pres
ident, who he thought was given too
much to disregarding the provisions of
the expressed law and to make a law
unto himself ; and, when he reached his
determination, to attempt to carry It
out whether he saw the law for it or
not.
The resolutions heretofore offered by
Dolplf, republican, of Oregon, calling
for Information as to the payment of
l-enslons to persons residing abroad,
were taken up. Dolph said there was
rather great Ignorance in regard to the
action of the pension bureau, or a pre
meditated deliberate design to thwart
the will of congress, and he cited the
case of the widow of Commodore Wat
son, whose pension was granted by a
special act of congress. It was sus
pended six months ago and she was
called upon to prove by living wit
r.esses an event which occurred thirty'
five years ago. Tho resolutions were
placed on the calendar.

pas, says: "In view of the killing of

j IRISH AT THE FAIR.
The Land of tho Shamrock Treated to
a Big Celebration.
Chicago, Sept. 30. The Irish flag,
which was run up on the electricity

ere tu be allowed on the World's Fair
buildings except those of independent
r ations.. Later on an appeal was made
to the' council of administration and
the green flag was restored to its pos
ition above the electricity building. In
spite of the rainy weather Irish day
was a success.

over its domb .de affairs is not only
measureable, but short." In closing,
Gladstone said: "Yet the last struggle
still remains, and like former struggles,
it'Wlll .be great. I cherish the most
sanguife hope, that the conduct of the
Irish Ration when the great object has
been attained will fulfill every reason
able r-jpe cherished by those who have
aided the cause, and will convert Us
present enemies Into friends."

HARDIN'S REMARKABLE BT0RY
Stole a Hide on an Engine anil Doubled

were Useless.
Associated Press.
Centralia, 111., Sept. 30. Hardin, the
last of tho Centralia gang of train rob
bers, who was captured lust night In
Cinelnrati, was conveyed to the Salem
jail this afternoon where his pals, Jones
and O'Dwyer are confined. He then
made a full confession of the? robbery.
"There were three of us implicated,
Jones, O'Dwyer, and myself," he said.
The robbery wus planned at St. Louis
over three months ago. Jones was too
drunk to play his part well. He held
up the engineer and fireman before
O'Dwyer and I were ready to attack
the car, and our plans were thrown
Into onfuBlon. When we entered the
car I found myself In the grasp of
baggageman Armstrong. I saw a man
coming Into the car with a gun, and
supposed we had been trapped. From
that moment my solo object was to
get out of the car. I endeavored to
keep Armstrong between myself and
the shot gun, and did so until I Im
pulsively -reached for the bell cord to
stop the train. It was then that Saun
ders shot ma In the arm. The shoot
ing filled the car full of Bmoke, and I
managed to jump out at the east door.
O'Dwyer was a few feet ahead of me.
We -both landed outside about the
same time. We ran enst until we
reached O'Dwycjr's bouse, where he
stopped. I passed on In a circuitous
route until I returned to the Illinois
Central track nearly a mile from where
we held up the train. My arm was
paining m terribly and I crawled into
a culvert and laid down., .While I lajr
there, a wild engine bound for St. LouIb
pulled up to tho- depot and stopped.
While the engineer and fireman wero
In the telegraph office I crawlod out
and secreted myself on tho engine on
which I rode Into St. Louis. I went di
rectly to Mrs. Kay's about 7 o'clock
on the morning after the robbery. From
there I went to the depot In East
St. Louis and at 7 p. m, on September
21 nl I went to Cincinnati direct to the
city hospital where I had my arm
dressed. I registered under the name
of Kay. I have been reading the pu-
pers regularly and supposed Ihe, detec
tives were searching for me In MIhsou
rl and Indiana. It v-is this thai cuuicd
me to be off my guard when I wus ar
lested. I think it was the description
of my wound given to the press by the
St. Louis woman that caused tho clly
hospital authorities to Identify me and
give me away."
LATEST FROM BRAZIL.
Both Government and Insurgent Troops
Claiming the Victory.
Buenos Ayres, Sept. 30. The latest
news received here from Rosarlo is to
the effect that there has been con
tinuous fighting through the day, but
the rebels claim to have the advantage,
nnd on the other sidethe government
forces claim to have triumphed. The
only fact certain is that there has been
severe fighting betveen tho rebels and
government troops. The lutcst reports
from Rio de Janeiro are to the effect
that the rebel war ships hava all
opened fire on the city, and that much
damage to property has resulted. The
ironclad Indaptnt has captured the
rebel war ship Andea which was seized
at Buenos Ayres a few days ago by the
rebels. Rebel ' officers of tho Andes
managed to escape, but tho crew were
captured,
Washington, Sept. 30. The depart

gram from Mr. Flshback, secretary of
the legation at Buenos Ayres, stating

had occurred there, but that the gov
ernment had the situation well in hand

and cannot be believed.
FOUR CHINESE ARRESTED.
Vaeaville, Cal., Sept. 30.-Four Chi
nese were arresced here today for be
ing Illegally In tho country.
AN EXPLANATION.
To the Editor:
In lust evening's Budget appeared a
communication signed "Union Man,"
In which the writer askes why the
Pederated Trades does not boycott tho
A3lorlan because tho proprietor owns
a cannery and employs Chinamen to
perform the labor therein. It Is evi
dent the communication was not writ
ten by a union man, from the fact that
no union man Is In Ignorance- in regatd
to the laws that govern the Federated
Trades In a matter of this kind, and
also because no union man would ever
take a communication of any charac
ter for publication to a newspaper that
Is controlled and edited by an unprin
cipled and notorious "rat," who even
today employe "scab" men. Since
when has the editor of the Budget
("Union Man") become a union man?
The Federated Trades has not boy
cotted the Dally Astotian for the fol
lowing reasons: First, because tho
Astorlan always has and does now em
ploy union men and pays them the
scale piescrlbed by the t pcgraphleal
union. Can the editor of the Budget
say as much? Hardly. Secondly, be
cause the power Is not and cannot be,
vested in tho Federated Trades, nor
In any other labor organization to de
clare unfair, or boycott an office where
no unfairness of any nature exists.
And thirdly, because the Federated
Trades has no Jurisdiction over the em
ployes of a cannery on the Columbia
river, other than the fishermen.
The Federated Trades Is a delibera
tive body composed of delegates from
the different labor organizations In the
city. There must be, organization be
fore representation can be obtained in
that body. Ah there la no organiza
tion In this city of these employed in
the canneries, cutside of the fishermen,
there can of course be no representa
tion. AN EX-DELEGATE.
THE FATHER OF MANY ILLS.
Constipation leads to a multitude of
physical troubles. It Is generally the
result of carelessness or Indifference to
the simplest rule of health. Eugene
McKay, of Brantford, Ont., writes:
"I had for several years been a suf
ferer from con.nlpation, hnd taken a
great many dlffedent remedies, some
jf which did me good for a time, but
only for a time, then my trouble came
back worse than ever, I was Induced
by a friends, whom Brandredth's Pills
had benefitted, to try them. Took two
each night for a week, then one every
night for about six weeks. Since that
lime I hnve not experienced the slight
i'Bt dllllculty whatever, and my bowels
move regularly every day. I believe
frmly that for sluggishness of the
biAvoln and biliousness Brandreth's
Pills are far superior to any other.
SET HIM RIGHT.
Geo. Augustus Sala, the well known
English writer, on his last Australian
trip, wrote as follows to the London
Dally Telegraph:
"I especlaly have a pleasant remembrance-
of the ship's doctor a very ex
perienced maritime medico indeed, who
tended me most kindly during horri
ble spelt of bronchitis and spasmodic:
UHthma, provoked by sea fog viilch
had swooped down pn us Just after we
left San Francisco. B it tho doctor's
prescriptions and . tho increanlng
wnrmth of the temperature as we near
ed the tropics, and in particular, a
couple of Allcock's Porous Flnste'n
clapped on one on the chest and an
other oetween the shoulder blades
soon set me right."
