SILVER MEN HAVE GIVEN UP Having- Lost all Hope of Further Fighting They Will Graciously Allow a Vote to be Taken, Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 25. President Cleve land la very much gratified at the turn affairs have taken In the senate, though he has believed all along that the un conditional repeal bill would pass. The president will have no suggestions to make as to an adjournment or a recess after congress passes the repeal bill, though he is anxious to have the bill extending the time in which Chinamen could register pass before the dissolu tion of congress. The impression at the White House Is that no mes sage will be sent in until the regular session In December. The arguments , of the administration such a sudden about face in the posi tion of the anti-repeal democrats yes terday were that up to the present time the democrats had by no act given countenance to filibustering; they had made no speeches for delay; and they had come to the front and helped to make a quorum during the long night sessions. To continue the fight longer they must take an active part in fili bustering, which it was urged, with the record they had made, they could not afford to do.. Such a course would only result in giving the democratic party a very black eye, as it would ap pear that their course had been prompt ed by a desire to defeat the adminis tration measure already endorsed by the democratic house. They were in formed that they would not have a corporal's guard with them In such a course, and that the party could not be held responsible for any such dis grace as it would bring on the senate. This had the intended effect. No quorum was present at the open ing.! of the senate this morning, but the silver men paid no attention to the fact. There was a general air of belief that the struggle was over and this extended to even the silver men themselves. The silver men count on getting more votes for some of the amendments than on the bill Itself. The Faulkner, Squire, and Quay amend ments meet most favor. The 20 to 1 and 16 to 1 coinage amendments, it Is expected, will catch a number of votes which' will finally be cast In favor of repeal, especially the 10 to 1 ratio where the populists are concerned. There Is some talk to the effect that the repub lican repealers will unite with the sll-, ver men on some of the amendments and put it through, but in such a case it is likely to lose as many anti repeal democrats as It will gain repub licans. The last doubt aa to what might be done in the senate on the repeal bill' seemed to be removed this morning when Bland, the free sliver champion of the house gave up all hope. He said to an Associated Press reporter that he had no further idea of any further effort being made to prevent a vote on the Voorhees bill, in the senate. Speeches would be made, and when they were completed a vote would come. The prospects at the close of the session of the senate this evening were favorable to voting on the amendments to the repeal bill by Friday. Senator Jones will conclude tomorrow and Sen ators Teller, Martin, Allen, and -Stewart each desire to talk. So far as can be learned, there will be no other speeches, and when the last of these is concluded, the voting will De tne next thing in order. Later inquiry con firms the prediction heretofore made Niat some amendments will receive a sufficient vote to Insure their adoption. One of them will receive as high a vote as will be recorded In opposition to the bill. The reason for this is found in the fact that the silver men do not expect any of them to carry, and therefore consider it unnecessary to attempt t6 have any of them adopt ed. The majority of the free coinage men are of the opinion that nothing can be agreed upon that would be ad vantageous to silver, and many of them announce their intention of voting only for the free coinage amendment and of giving no countenance to any or the ether amendments. The republicans have abandoned all idea of introducing an amendment a a party measure. Sherman thinks that authority should be given for bonds, but he sees the difficulty in getting sucn a provision thrnntrh at this time, and will In all nrobabllitv not attempt it. It Is be lieved that if the voting on the amend ments can be begun early on Friday, the final vote can be reached by Sat urday and the bill sent to the house for action. When, the house shall have acted on the bill, there Is very little doubt that an adjournment win re taken. So general Is the desire on the part of the members to get away mat It would be next to impossible to hold a quorum of either house in Washing ton even U it snoum oe Hiiempieu. At one time it was believed that there would be an effort to pass the bill for th extension of the Chinese exclusion act, but the probability was averted. PRAIRIE FIRES IN MANITOBA, winninoc fnn . rpt. 25. In the rra- t-ta Am. n.ir hprp tnflAv three or four people lost their Uvea and much stock r.as perished. FOSTER MAKES A REPLY. Cleveland, Ohio. Oct 25. Ex-Secretary Foster makes the following state ment with regard to the suit begun by his creditors: "Of course I am di- 8ppointel and grieved at the action on the part of my creditors. I do not think the creditors will gain anything by . this suit. I have done nothing either dishonest or dishonorable. The sale ot my business blockB to Mr. Hark nesa was bona fide, and the books of the bank will show what was done with the proceeds. The Bale of the homestead to my wife was made ten years ago and was perfecty legal. This action on the part of my creditors de fers Indefinitely the settlement of my affairs, as it will mean a ten years' law suit." MR. DILWORTH'S CASE. Further Investigation Will Re Mnde ' '.. "'y-. the Presbytery, Portland, Oct. 25. A special session of the Presbytery of this city hns been In session here considering the case of Rev. R. B. Dllworlh, -of Astoria. Charges were made against him of hugging and kissing some ladies of his congregation, and his resignation was demanded.

Admiral. Washington, Oct. 25. The navy de partment learned today by a telegram from Rear Admiral Stanton, In com mand of the United States naval forces at Rio de Janeiro, that this officer had saluted the flag or Admiral Mello, com manding the insurgent fleet. This sa lute was unauthorized by any instruc tions the admiral had ' received.

Criminal. Carelessness That Looks Too Horrible to Be True. Rattle Creek, Mich., Oct. 25. Tho Grand Trunk train bearing the wound ed from the Batle Creek disaster to Chicago barely escaped a repetition of the horror through a gross violation of orders similar to that which caused the first holocaust. The train ran by a station at which it was to await the east-bound heavily loaded possengei train, and but for the fact that the east-bound crew Infracted the rules by remaining over their time for their men to get lunch, the trains would have met at full speed between the sta tions. THE GOVERNMENT'S STANDING. Washington, Oct. 25. The reserve is nearly a million dollars higher than it was four days ago. It is today $82, 629,9S. The currency balance today is 121,047,807, something over ' half a mil lion less than It was four days ago. The redemptions are still heavy, indi cating a more hopeful condition of af fairs and the willingness on the cart of owners to part with cash for the time rejuired for redemption. Tne re celnts of the srovernment for the month of October up to date amount to $20,- 704,000, and the expenditures to kj, &89.00O. v LOSING THEIR CUSTOMERS. Ver York. Oct. 25. The New York World and the New York Evening World have signed agreements to join the Associated Press seivlce, and the service beean tonleht. The retirement of these two papers from the United Press has caused great alarm In the ranks of tho opposition, following as It does so closely upon a like action on tho part of the New York Btaats zet tunu and the New York Evening T'ost, nnd ther Is tvery reason for expecting further acquisitions to the Associated Press ,-n .the immediate ttiture. GERMANY WILL BE THERE. Chicago, Oct. 25. In response to re nupsta from the managers of the Mid winter Exposition.

Professor Franz von Lenbnck is nt work on two portraits of Bismarck. One represents the ex-chancellor Bli tlng. In a great rocking chair In hi working-room, while the other Is a full length portrait. Von Lenbnck spent several weeks at Bismarck's home lust spring preparing for the work.. Critics who have seen the portraits sny they are extremely life-like. Ono ofProfessor Putnam's assistants at the Anthropological Building at the World's Fair Is Antonio Apache, a full blood Indian, whose, tribal name Is his family name ns well, and who was once a member of the band under the guid ance of the famous Victoria, a rough rider whose exploits have startled more people than ever the wildest of Buffalo Bill's rough" riders could arouse. An tonio at that time was not much of a warrior. He was, in fact, only a boy. Now he hi a grown man with a perfect command of the English langunge, and such an acquaintance with things per taining to Professor Putnam's depart ment bs to be very valuable to the learned man, even at the regular work In Harvard College.
