Wasntwerox, D. C., Oct. 2%.—There was the usuai lack of a quorum in the Senate when that body met this morning at 11 o’clock, but forthe firsttime for a month there was no call or suspension of proceed- ingsto awaitthe attendange -of the neces- gary forty-three members. There was no- ticeable among those in their seats a general air ot relief that the long silver struggle was approaching an end. Even the silver men looked brighter and in better spirits than for several weeks. Some doubts are expressed as to whether the final vote upon the repeal bill will be reached so early as the managers of the bill thought possible last night. The exact time at which this vote will be taken will depend not entirely upon the length of the prepared speeches, but partially upon the time con- \ sumed in considering the amendments. Investigation reveals the fact that more of these will be offered than had at first been supposed, and the result of the inquiries ia- , @icate that there will be considerable speech - making upon several of these. Probably most of these speeches will be confined to Ave minutes in length, but even if the five minute rule is gdopted the Umit is Mable at any time to of reat overstepped, as it is under such Aircumstances that the much vaunted courtesy of the Senate asserts it- self in the extension of time to those who Gesire to occupy more. VOTE ON AMENDMENTS. The silver men count upon getting more votes upon some of these amendments than against the bill itself, but it does not seem probable that any of them will carry. The Faulkner, Squire and Quay amendments are the ones which are discussed with most favor. The report of the Minority Commit - tee recommending free coinage at the rate of toi, and also the amendment for free coilmage at the old ratio of 16 to i, will also come in for consid- eration. It is believed that each of the three first amendments mentioned will receive some votes which will not de record 7 - \giple that while they maf at Vote from among conservative repealers they wan tan to secure the votes of the Populists. he Populists will vote for the 16 to 1 amendment. It seems probable this amend - went will also get one or two votes from | @mong the Democrats who will vote for un- Conditional repeal. There has been some talk to the effect that the Republican repeal- ers will uhite with the ‘silver men on some one of the amendments and put it through, Dut it is more than MHkely that if this coalition should make itself manifest the ~ @mMendment would lose as many votes from | among the anti-repeal Democrats as it would gain on the Republican side. The Republican repealers would in all probability ask that authority for the issu- | ance of bonds should be embraced in any N amendment which they would support, and aur bona proposition would insure the op- / position of the Southern Democrats. 1 BLAND GIVES UP.

Vresident Cleveland came into the city from Woodley this morning at 11 o’clock. The President is 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. There have been times of anxiety, but never fora non faa hasthe President wavered in his It was learned at the White House that the President would have no suggestious to make astoan adjournment or recess after passed the repeal bili, though he was > have the Chinese bill, extending in which Chinamen could register, passed before the dissolution of Congress.

WasHINGTON, D. C., Oct. %.—Upon the Senate resuming its session this morning Mr, Peffer (Pop.) of Kansas offered a resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Ju- dietary, reciting the fact that a differ- ence of opinion exists as to the legal effect of the repeal of a part of the act of Feb. 28, 1878, dy the passage of the act of July 14, 1890, some per- sons maintaining that the free and unlimited coinage of the silver dollar at the ratio of 16 to 1 is still the law of the land. It therefore directs the Committee on the Jadiciary to in - vestigate and report on the question at its earliest convenience. Mr. Sherman (Rep. ) of Ohio, from the Com - mittee on Foreign lations, reported the following House joint resolution: Resolved, That it ts the sense of Congress that the acknowledgements of the government and peo- le of the Uaited States de tenderea to the various oreign governments of the world that have so gen- erousiy and effectively co-operated in the quadro- centennial exposition held in Chieago in eom- memoration of the discovery of America by Chr s- topher Columbus. esolved, Thatecertified cepy of the foregoing resolution be prepared in suitable form by the Sec- retary of State of the United states and forwarded through the-customary diplomatic chaanels to the respective foreiga cgovermments. Mr. Sherman asked for the immediate con- sideration of the resolution, asthe Exposi- tion was about fo close. Mr. Hoar (Rep.) of Massachusetts regarded the resolution as an exceedingly awkward and imperfect metho@ of dealing with the question. The mode of tendering the thanks of the United States was by a sortof circu- It seemed to him that the President of the United States should make an express ad courteous acknowledgement to e ned in precise form what was desired. The resolution was laid aside until 12:25 o’clock, when it was again taken up. Mr. Hoar offered an amendment,as follows: That the President of the United States be re- uested to communicate to each foreign Government that hat perticipated in said axposition the ac- knowldgement for its coatribution. The amendment was agreed to and the joint resolution passed as amended. The consideration of the bill to repeal the rehasing clause of the Sherman act was aken op and Mr. Stewart of Nevada, who was entitled to the floor, ylelded to Mr. — — of Alabama, who proceeded to ad- ress the Senate against the bill. Referring tothe recent compromise, Mr. Pugh said the Democratic Senators had united in the spirit ofcompromise and con- cession and selected an equal number of Senators from those (friendly to un- conditional repeal and those osed to it and with the full kKnowl- edge of President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle that such effort was belng made to bring Democratic Senators rat upon some common ground that could be enacted intolaw. They accomplished that laudable undertaking so far as to agree upon a compromise that secured the signatures of every Democratic Senator but six. The fact was not consi lered doubtful that forty-three Democratic Senators would have sanctioned the compromise had not President Cleveland interposed objection and demanded uncondi- tional repeal at all hazards. Mr. Pugh was now satisfied that all effort at compromise had failed solely on account of President Cleveland and his Secretary of the Treasury. He was satisfied that he could not get a sufficient number of Senators to join bim in filbustering practices and he was forced to record his vote against this diabolical measure and appeal to the people to organize their forces for the great battle of the future. Mr. Pugh said he was willing, if he had sufficient support, to resort to any and all means to defeat the bill. He was proud to be called a filibuster in defeating aconspiracy, equal in the ruinous consequences of its to war, pestilence and He would rather be filibuster by the conspira- tors and lickspitties of the = Kings than to be called a traitor or faithless representa- tive by the State and people who honored him with their trust and confidence. As for himself, he would do bis duty as a Senator as he understood it and leave consequences to God and to his country. Mr. Stewart then resumed his speech. He spoke of the gold combination as having aventeinthe Capitol to dictate legislation and as having elected a President determined to carry out their policy. The President was now in the saddle and Congress was helpless. The time might come when the haughty ty- rants would meet a rebuke from the people. THE STATE BANK TAX. Was moro, Oct. 25.—The Committee on Banking and Ourrency will probably report to-morrow a Dill remitting the 10 per cent tax which it is proposed to levy on the clearing house certificates. These certificates which were used in the South were not handled in the same manner as those in New York. In the South they passed from hand to hand and were made to take the place of money.

How the Germans Regard the Affair Be- tween France and Russia—Fetes at Lyons To-Day in Honor of the Bail- ora — Decorations, Enthusiasm and Presents to the Visitors From the Peo- ple of the Silk City. Pakts, Oct. 25.—The municipality of Paris, in order to mark their appreciation of the ‘visit of the Russian sailors to the capital of France, propose to erect a statue in honor of Russia near the Arc de Triomphe. An incident which occurred at the Grand Opera- nouse last nigut is being considerably discussed on all sides to-day. It appears that M. Challemel-Lacour, President of the Senate, finding that the Senate box was not divided from that of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, M. Etienne, expressed astonishment and some indignation at this fact and eventually withdrew with his feath- ers Very much ruled. The matter may lead to an angry encounter between the President of the Senate and the President of the Cham- der of Deputies. It is reported in this city that the Czar has determined to pay a visit to Paris next spring, the visit being timed so as to coin- cide with the grand naval réview which is planned to take place at the early part of next year, in the presence of Emperor Will- lam of Germany and King Humbert of Italy at Genoa, The Russian naval officers who have been visiting this city have sent the following communication to the newspapers of France: Upon leaving Paris Admiral Avellan and dis off- cersare deeply moved at the reception accorded them in the capital. and offer to the population theit most sincere expression of gratitude. What they have seen and heard will remain graven in the depths of their hearts, and will be faithfully trans- mitted to the friends of France in Russia. It would bave pleased us to respond to the num- berless tokens of sympathy received during our stay in Paris, but the time has faile@ us, and we beg all Paris and the whole of France to accept our fra- ternal friendship and most sincere gratitude, and we send forth tothe French all the best wishes of our hearts. M. Paul de Cassagnac, in an arti- cle in the Autorite, says it is impossible to dissimulate the fact that Vive Russia“ means down with something else. clares thatthe demonstration of the French people forthe Russian visitorsis simply an outburst of long pent-up feelings of hatred whieh are scarcely disguised under the veil ofa friendly reception of foreign visitors. The Russian alliance, he insists, implies fut- ure revenges. BERLIN. Oct. B.- The Germans are generally Careful not to emphasize the unfriendly meaning which might be placed uon the Russian vows of eternal devotion to France. The Trues Zetiung,- alone of the German pers, fails to control its flerce atred of Russia: It says that the whole refrain of the fetes in honor of the Russians is found in the words: ‘‘Enfin nou inceron la Prusse,’’ which the Grand Duke ichael Paulovitch uttered in reference to the Russo Franco alliance in 1843. This, says the Kreuz Zeitung, has been the burden of the Russian song during the five intervening decades, though it has been reluctantly hushed at the bidding ofthe Czar. o Key- note of the Alexander III. licy was to con- quer nihilism by nationalism. Borko’s at- tempt finally led to the compact between the crown andthe people. The Czar’s visits to the French vessels at Copenhagen were the final capitulations of the Russian Emperor to popular opinion. Russia was slidin down an incline and the Government instea of holding the reins as it imagines it does, is already carriedaway ina fit of wild in- toxication towards the fatal precipice. THE FETES AT LYONS, Lrows, Oct. 2%.—Over 200,000 persons, in addition to the regular population of this city and neighborhood, are crowding the streets of Lyons to-day in order to witness the fetes prepared in honor of the Russian sailors who are expected to stop here on their way back to Touloh. The city is a mass of decoration and the municipality has expended large sums of money in mak- ing. such preparations for the reception of the Czar’s sallors as will do credit tothe ancient city they represent. Among the many presents awaiting the Russian officers here are twelve of the most exquisitely delicate silk dresses which were ever turned out from looms in this or any other country. These magnificent dresses are intended for presentation to the Czarina ahd Admiral Avellan when he arrives here, and will be presented to the Empress of Rus- sia with an expression of respectful sym- pathy from the citizens of Lyons. In addition the Russian visitors will be resented with quantities of French and — flags, all made of the very finest silk, and 2,500 silk handkerchiefs wiil, as a further mark of the appreciation of the peo- le of Lyons at the visit of the Czar’s sallors, e handed over to the Russian Admiral for distribution among the sailors of his uadron. . he Russians arrived from Paris at 10 o’clock and were met dy theciviland min- authorities, who presented them with Midrecees of welcome and outlined the — ramme of festivities prepared in their onor. The depot was surrounded by a guard of honor, which with great difficulty kept back the immense crowds of people pressing orward on all sides in efforts to shake the hands of the visitors. All the windows, dal. conies and housetops of the neighborhood were crowded to the utmost with sightseers, who conspicuously displayed the Russian colors in the form of badges, scarfs, hand- kerchiefs or by carrying Russian and French da gs in their hands.

Some angry words followed but Assistant Prosecuting AttGrney Estep referred the woman to the police. Kase is now under arrest in the Second Po- lice District. Mrs. Cocor accused her mother of trying to marry her 14-yéar-old daughter to Kase, and that this was the reason she spoke so favorably of Kase. FIRE AT GLASGOW. Horses and Buildings Burned in a Mis- seuri Town. Giascow, Mo., Oct. %3.—Fire broke out in the livery stable of Pryor Bros, at 9 o’clock this morning destroying the barn and nearly all the contents, including a fine hearse and six horses. It was insured for $3,400, about half its value. The flames spread from the stable to Koester’s blacksmith shop,a large two-story brick, and Hagerdorn’s carpenter shop, both ofwhich were destroyed. Koester’s shop was partly covered by imstrance. Hager- dorn had no insurance. Massie’s Jumber yard was also damaged to some extént, though nearly all the lumber was saved. Several small outbuildings were also destroyed, and for a time it was feared the Glasgow Hotel could not be saved. HURT BY DYNAMITE SHELLS. NEW WRSTMINSTER, British Columbia, Oct.

KRALLMAN, THE BELLRINGER, BADLY BEATEN BY THE BUILDERS, To Prevent the Building Committee From Getting Possession Weber & Sons Barricade the Doors and Stand On Guard Inside—Assault on the Bell- Ringer—Prosecution Instituted. The new German Latheran Bethiehem church at Twenty-first and Salisbury streets was the scene of a lively scrimmage last Saturday evening. The trouble was all pre- cipitated by the refusal of the Buliding Com- mittee to honor certain bills for extra work done by the building firm of Weber & Sons, who erected the church. When the Messrs. Weber sent in their bill for sundry work, not included in the contract, the com- mittee said they would not sign the vouchers unless the bills were itemized. When the builders refused to comply vith their reques® the committee sent them a communication advising them toagree to their terms or give up the keys and vacate the building by 6 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Unless the keys were given up, the commit- tee said, they would break in the doors and take possession, The Webers imme- diately communicated with the po- lice and requested that a squad of patrolmen de detailed to protect their property, the church not having been paid for. Chjefof Police Harrigan notified Capt. Kiely of the Fourth District to have the fiecessary officers on hand, and the Webers, with a number of their men, proceeded to barricade themselves within the church, nalling up the doors, BEAT UP THE BELL RINGER. They had nailed up all the doors save one on the east side when about 7 o’clock John H. Krallman, a contractor livipg at 8914 North Twenty-first street, came to practice on the chimes, of which he is in charge, for the dedication services to be held next Sunday. Krallman had a key and he entered the church through the door, which had not been nailedup. When he got inside Hugo Weber, with several otbers. rushed up to him and demanded his business. When they learned what he wanted they told him to give up his key and get out. Krallman attempted to argue with them and hot words followed. Charles Neff, one of the men with the Webers. struck him and a gen- eral fight ensued, in which the bell-ringer was badly used up before he was thrown out into the stgeet. r. Webers held the church until 12 o clock ni the architects mel, to 81 paste. the ir money, and the cuurch is now out oftheir hands. A strong effort was made by the pastor, Rev. Jonson, to keep the matter from the public, but a Post-DiIsPaTcH reporter learned the facts when Krallman called at the Second District Police Court this morning and sworn out a summons charging Theodore and Hugo Weber and George Summers and Charies Neff for disturbing his peace. MR. KRALLMAN’S VERSION. Mr. Krallman gave his version of the affair as follows: Tou see the architects and the builders had some trouble aboutextra work.
