Hill Makes an Eloquent Speech Against
the Attempt at Minority Rule and
Score the Sllverltes.
Washington, Oct. 16. In the house
the debate on the McCrenry bill to ex
tend the provisions of the1 Geary Chi
nese Exclusion Act for six months
was resumed. Blair, of New Hamp
shire, who was nominated to the Chi
nese mission by Harrison, but .whose
cxequator was not granted by the Chi
nese government, spoke In favor of the
bill. Tha'blll passed the house with
Geary's amendment as to photograph
ing Chinese and defining Chinese mer
chants, by a vote of 107 to 9.
Washington, Oct. .16. The word was
sent along the line of the silver forces
at 6 o'clock tonight to filibuster and to
require an absolute quorum at all
times. The purpose of filibustering was
to show the futility of attempting fur
ther force. A visit was made to Sec-
tetary Carlisle by Senator Voorhees
this morning. The two gentlemen ex
changed their views upon the situa
tion, and Carlisle urged Voorhees to
hold firm and keep his forces In line.
It was Immediately after this visit
that Voorhees repaired to the capitol
and announced his Intention of asking
the senate to sit until 10 o'clock at
night. Appearances would Justify the
statement that the administration had
taken another occasion to announce
and emphasize Its opposition to any
deviation from the course originally
mapped out, and its determination to
stay by It till all Its resources were
exhausted, before accepting a com
rrpmlse. , The efforts at a compromise
were kept up In a1 desultory way: and
Senator Cockerell, who has taken the
lead os a compromiser, continued work
n that direction. He did not, how
ever, make material progress. Both
radical democrats and republican re.
peal senators have asserted positively
that a compromise proposition would
never secure a vote sufficient to secure
Its adoption. Senator Sherman was
asken tonight by a representative of
the Associated Press what he thought
of the prospect for the repeal bill.
Sherman replied that it all depended
on the democratic side,
"We," said he, referring to the re
peal republicans, "are quiesent. They
do not seem, to realize that they are
in the majority and that the responsi
bility for legislation rests with them."
Hill asked why, If the majority fa-
ored the repeal bill, It could not pass
the senate. Vest replied that If the
senator had read the rules and wlt-
essed the proceedings under them, he
ought to be able to answer the question
satisfactorily himself. Hill replied,
that If the rules of the senate pre-
ents the passage of a bill which the
majority desired to pass, the best
thing to do was to amend the rules
In a proper manner. Vest retorted
that he had heard that same thing
discussed concerning the force bill, but
the rules were not changed. Hill said
that he repudiated the doctrine that
cno-tlfth of the senate could absolute
ly prevent legislation. The power to
make rules Implies th9 power to change
them.
"Has it come to this," asked Hill In
losing, "that the senate Is powerless
first to legislate, and second to change
tho rules so It can legislate hereafter?
If so, It might as well disband."
The repeal bill was laid before the
senate. Jones, of Nevada, took the
floor and continued with his speech.
At 3:45 he asked the Indulgence of the
senate as he was not feeling well
enough to finish today. Peffer then
took the floor. Palmer, of Illinois, got
Into a parliamentary squabble with
Kyle and Allen. Palmer was com
plaining of the speeches made to con
sume time and Kyle asked him to spe
cify one speech. Palmer replied:
"I will answer by saying that I be
lieve the senator from Nebraska"
This was as far as he got as Allen
called him to order. Palmer declined
to take anything back, and Allen de
nied that his speech was an effort to
consume time. ' After some Colloquy,
Peffer resumed his speech. At six
'clock by a vote of 39 to 18, the senate
refused to adjourn.
Within the next thirty minutes the
attention of the chair was called three
times to the fact that a quorum was
not In the chamber, but -on each roll
call the chamber responded. On the
roll call at 6:40 p. m. the senate was
without a quorum, but a moment later
wo senator appeared and Voorhees
requested that further proceedings un
der .the roll call be dispensed with.
Dubais called for the ayes and nays.
On this roll call, when pairs had to be
respectefl, no quorum voted, but but
during the call of the senate to dls
close the presence of a quorum, when
pair did not count, the quorum always
appeared. Thus for two hours the
senate was clogged. When Voorhees
found the predicament he was placed
In he attempted to withdraw his mo.
tlon, upon which Dubois jcalled for the
ayes and nays, but this required the
unanimous consent and this Teller re
fused to give. Finally, at 8:40, a vot
lng quorum was obtained, Vind Peffer
continued his speech. At 10 o'clock
Pefter," without concluding his speech
ylolded to Voorhees, who asked 'the
senate to adjourn. . The motion was
agreed to. . "
There will probably be no more night
sessions In the senate while the repeal
bill Is pending.' ' The silver senators
clogged the wheels effectually for
about two hours, tonight, and would
probably have continued to do so but
for . the understanding brought about
by the entanglement which was Inau
gurated between the opposing forceB
to qheck filibustering on the promise
that some of the leadera of repeal
would attempt to arrange- matters as
not to make another effort to secure
night sessions..
BLOWN INTO THE AIR:
A Dynamite Explosion that Shattered
Five Lives.

ture fcxploslon of dynamite today, five

away. '
BAD WRECK IN ONTARIO.
A Steamer Smashed to Pieces and
Thirteen People Drowned.
Port Rowan, Ont., Oct 16. The
Steamer Wocoken has gone down off
Long Point, and of her crew of sixteen,
thirteen are drowned. The Wocoken
left Ahstabula. on Friday bound for
Duluth, carrying 1800 tons of coal. She
went first to Erie, where she picked up
the schooner Joseph Paige. Shortly
after leaving Erie she was struck by
the full force of the storm, and tried
to make Long Point The sea was too
much for her, however, and she found
herself not far from the west end of
the point. She would probably have
ridden out the gale but for the fact
that her hatches gave way under the
tremendous seas, and the beat was
quickly flooded and sunk. The schoon
er Paige was cast loose soon after she
started for Long, Point and ran safely
before the gale to shelter oh the west
shore of the point. She was pretty
badly wrecked.

ings that IvM Inevitably result from
placing the road In a receiver's hands.

ernment is said to have grown as large
if not larger, than the principal. There
Is an equal number of first mortgage
bonds which were Issued by tho com
rany and which It is said at the treas

Railroad company has addressed let
ters to all it connections saying tlia
under its receivership the road will
continue doing business exactly as here
tofore, and It desires the co-operation
of other lines as heretofore. Nothing
is said in the .message about the rela
tion tho road would sustain toward
the Western Passenger Association,
but the existing conditions will not be
disturbed for some time at least. A
proposition was submitted to tho West
ern Passenger Association lines today
to use the $20 rate between Chicago
and tho Missouri river, and $10 each
way in connection with the $05.50 rate
fiom the Missouri river to the Puclilc
coast, making the round trip rate $85.D0
