TSrECIAI. TELEGRAPHIC MSTTEKO Bceiau or The Dispatch, WASHiJiOToa. D. (i. March 7. ( The first fight agpinst free silver is past. The warriors on that side are not as hand some as they were before they Trent to the battle, but they are a great deal wiser. The largest force they could muster on the final Tote on the rule to fix a day for considera tion was S3, which is about ten short of the number counted on by Harter, Tracey and "Williams, white the vote for consideration amounted up to about 110 more. Of course a considerable number of these were Eepublicans, but allowing for every Republican vote in favor of consideration which will be cast for the Bland bill when the final vote comes, the free coinage meas ure will still have plenty of votes to spare, unless there takes place a deal of successful proselyting before March 21. Barter ot Heard From at All. Hon. Michael D. Harter, of Mansfield, O., was not heard from to-day. Harter is not an orator or a parliamentarian. He is simply a capitalist; an owner of money. He had the good sense in this crusade against the inevitable, to confine himself within the' strict limits of his abilities, which stopped with securing signatures to a call for a caucus and with drumming up the anti silver cohorts. 1 lancv that Mr. Tracey, of New York, wishes he also had been quiet like Mr. Harter, for if ever an attempt at filibuster ing resulted in a miserable fiasco, his- did, to-day. Doubtless he knew it wonld end in defeat, and doubtless the only purpose he and others who took an active part in the affair with him was to show their con stituents how bravely they waged a losing battle, but they might have gone to their death in a much more graceful way. Wretched Work for a leader. There is a defeat that is almost victory, so artistically is the losing battle fought, bat poo? Tracey, who was put forward as the general of the little anti-silver army, made wretched work of it, exposing his weakest parts, failing to take advantage of oppor tunities, stammering and hesitating, and absolutely breaking down half a dozen times. Inexperienced himself, he had not a single associate of experience. All the leaders were on the other side. But if Tracey has blundered, the Speaker made a sorry exhibition of his skill in this, the first incident in which his ability as a parliamentarian has been at all exercised. Had he had for an antagonist anyone but a weakling like Tracey he would have been utterly put to rout, and, as it was, his rulings were shown to be painfully ridicu lous. From the first it was evident he in tended to force through the rule reported by the Committee onRul.es, of which he is ex-officio a member, but he did so by viola tion of precedent and of the present rules which he assisted to invent, and the blunder ing arguments by which he sustained him self surprised .everyone, and the general confidence in the ability of the Speaker to meet any parliamentary exigency or crisis is greatly shaken. Speaker Ci-Up Sharply Criticized. Never before did a presiding officer of any parliamentary body rule that it was proper . to proceed to business before the reading of the journal unless that reading were dis pensed with by unanimous consent. Speaker Crisp not only ruled that a report from the Committee on Rules could, perforce, pre cede and supersede the reading of the journal, but he endeavored to sustain his position by quotations from rules which plainly gave no such privilege, and ignored rules quoted against him which plainly took the ground from under his decision. On minor rulings also he was in a perfect tangle, and really made a distressing exhi bition of himself, as is admitted by his warmest champions. For instance, he per mitted Tracer to farm out ten minutes of time to Mr. Fitch, when no time had been allotted to Tracey, and then ruled so as to take .Tracey off the floor when he attempted to use the time he had reserved. The Speaker should have ruled that Mr. Tracey had no "time to farm out, and that if he gave waylo Fitch he surrendered the floor. A Distressing Sort or Scene. This and several similar blunders served to make the scene a very distressing one from the view of the parliamentarian, and in future tilts the Speaker may expect to be quoted against himself to prove his ex treme fallibility. Several times he retraced himself, as when he ruled that no motion could be entertained while the vote on the previous question was pending, and a mo ment later took it all back and informed Mr. Tracey that his motion to recommit the rule to the committee was in order. Probably the hardest blow Speaker Crisp received among the many parliamentary in onirics with which be was plied came from Representative Wilton, "of West Virginia, "who, touching the ruling in regard to proceeding-with other business before the read, ing of the journal, suggested that possibly the reading of the journal of Saturday night disclose that the rules by which the Speaker sought to maintain his ruling had been abrogated on that day. , They had no means of discovering if this were, the fact except by the reading of the journal. The Speaker had no satisfactory reply to, this trenchant point of order. ' Tracey's Opportunities Hissed. Mr. Tracey exhausted himself In three dilatory motions, on each of which lis succeeded in securing the calling of the roll, which, of itself, occupied about two and quarter hours. He appealed from the decision of the Chair on the question of the reading of the journal, and the roll was called on the motion of Mr. Bland to lay the appeal on the tabic He raised the question of consideration against the rule; the Chair ruled that the question of consideration could not be raised pending a call of the previous question; Tracey appealed and another roll call was had on a motion to lay that appeal on the table. On the motion to recommit it, the roll was again called. With this Mr. Tracey and his friends abandoned the fight, which they had con ducted with a lack of skill which was almost equaled by, the lack of judgment exhibited by the Speaker in his rulings. Tiro more motions were at their command to delay -proceedings a motion to adjourn or one to take a recess and they could have com pelled a yea in d nay vote on the question of ordering the previous question, but they had bad enough and abandoned the field. An Earnest and Pleasing Speech. The brief time allowed for speaking after the previous question was ordered and before the vote was taken was a period of lively interest. The young and handsome George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, divided his five minutes about equally in denunciation of the Speaker's arbitrary rulings and prophecies of disaster for the Democratic partv it the silver bill be passed. Mr. Williams is a very earnest, pleasing and successful speaker, and fits brief eflort redeemed in a measure the anti silver Democrats from the wholly unfavor able .impression excited by the parlia mentary mismanagement-of their cause. Tho five-minute speech of ex-Speaker Reed was a masterpiece of "off-hand" oratorr. The sarcasm with which he de scribed the ruling of the Speaker as vastly more arbitrary, inexcusable and subversive of the right of the minority than any ruling made in the Fifty-first Congress, was very fine, indeed, and called out the applause, not only of the Republicans, but also ot all the Democrats upon whom Speaker Crisp trampled to-day. A happier or terser speech, of only a few sentences, rarely finds its way into the Record. A Ludicrous Little Episode. A ludicrous episode of the inter-Democratic set-to was begun by the assertion of Mr. Bland that Mr. Cockran, of New York, and Mr. Andrew, of Massachusetts, had promised him that no filibustering tactics would be attempted on the part of the anti silver faction. Mr. Cockran denied this ve hemently, and Mr. Andrews sustained him. Mr. Bland reiterated his assertion with em phasis, and Mr. Pierce, of Tennessee, who declared he had heard every word of the conversation, corroborated Mr. Bland. 'Ton did" and "I didn't" were hurled back and forth several, times, until a member ex claimed: "You are even now; there's two liars on each side; let it go at that," and they let it go. The important developments of the day were that Speaker Crisp is capable of tne most violent wrenching of parliamentary law and the rules drafted by the Committee on Rules.'and that the Democrats support ing free coining are stronir enough In num bers to pass the Bland bill against the united forces of the anti-silver Democrats and Republicans. Not all of the Demo- ftfflts whft ntftrl arraincf Mntiilmrimi in. day will vote against a free silver toiljsfj Th"ere were probably 20 votes casfmereliS Vi t in(aa( rvr nns nnna n &n ' I Free Silver Bound to Win. -It is not probable that -any important- change ot laitu will decrease tue majority counted by the free silver men. As ,Mr". Pierce, ol Tennessee, said to-day,' the fact that 28 States have indorsed free silver in their State platforms is a sufficient indica tion that free coinage is a Democratic measure. .a As to Speaker .Crisp's rulings, they are difficult of explanation because they were unnecessary, and could only be excused in a most vital contingency. It was held by Mr. Bland that if the reading of the journal had been permitted, the anti-silver men could have obstructed until doomsday by motions to amend tbe journal. This was a violent assumption, but even if Mr. Tracey had attempted such obstruction it would have been endured only for a short time, and in a Congress so wasteful of the passing days, a week or so given to filibustering would have been no irremediable loss. Ob struction would have injured the cause of the anti-silver Democrats, and at all times the Republicans would have asaisted toward a vote for consideration. So powerful a majority would soon have crushed out the little minority by mere weight of numbers. On the other hand, the rulings of Speaker Crisp have given a shook to confidence in his judgment and fairness whioh he will find it hard to counteract, and the Demo cratic majority for free silver is at the onset opon to thet charge that they know no methods but those of the overseer and bull dozer. An Excuse for the Speaker. The only excuse that can be offered for the" course pursued by tbe Speaker is that his late illness has so weakened him that he loses his good temper easily, and that with loss of temper goes loss of judgment Certainly the incidents of to-day will not tend to allay the bitterness that is felt by tbe two factions of the Democrats toward each other. It exceeds in strength the bad feeling of the Democrats and Republicans in tbe last Congress. It will not be les sened during the two weeks that will pass before the silver bill itself becomes the bone for contention. The debate then will prove that the acrimony of to-day was but a faint suggestion of the real vigor and lustiness ot the enmity of the free coinage men and their Democratic opponents. The silver bill will be passed. It will go to the country with the Democratic imprint stamped upon it, and with this beginning it vi ill be strange indeed if the quarrel be not carried into tbe Chicago Convention with disastrous .results.- Mr. Bland's object, the sole object of the free coinage faction, is to commit the party to free coinage. They do not expect tbat the bill will become a law at this time. They do expect to force a free coinage plank "into the platform of the' Chicago Convention, regardless of results. . Lightkek,. . MR.

Secretary Blaine is still confined to his bed with ihe grip. Dr. Frank Hyatt, the physician at tending Mr. Blaine, said this evening that there is nothing in his condition to cause any alarm. He is suffering from a slight inflammation of the bronchial, tubes, follow ing a cold contracted last Wednesday.

WASHINGTON. March 7. Special Representative John W. Kendall, of Ken tucky, was stricken with paralysis this morning .at 9 o'clock, and died at 25 min utes after 9 o'clock to-night His condi tion continued to grow worse from the time he was stricken until death came. He was unconscious at the time, and expired with out a struggle. His wife, one of his sous, and other friends were with him when he died. ,Ihe remains will be taken to West Liberty, Ky., his former home, where the interment will be made. Mr. Kendall served throughout the late war, holding the position of First Lieuten ant and Adjutant of the Tenth Kentucky Confederate . Cavalry. It is probable tbat as a consequence of Mr. Kendall's death, the beginning of the tariff debate in the House will be delayed until Wednesday, as the House, in conformity with its usual custom 'on the death oi a member, will adjourn' shortly after meeting, to-morrow, out of respect to his memory. SPRINGER HOLDS HIS OWN. A Slight Betnrn to Delirium and Coma, hut He's Mot So Nervous. Washington, March 7. Representative Springer's condition to-night is not ma terially changed. He has passed a com fortable dav. "Taking the noon statement as a basis,", says Dr. Vincent, "Mr. Springer has held his own, and is as well to-night as 'he was this morning. He began the night under favorable conditions. There has been a very slight return of delirium and coma this evening, bnt as a whole he has had a very fair day and held his own well." The street in front of Mr. Springer's resi dence has been barricaded to all vehicles except horse cars. Sawdnst has been sprinkled between the car tracks, so that the street nofces which hare disturbed the patient have been reduced to a minimum. The, effect is beneficial, and the super sensitiveness to which he was subject has in some measure been allayed, which the doctor regards as favorable. WILL, PULVERIZE RUSSIA. The Kaiser's Worst Break at Brandenburg Hitherto Unpublished The Czar Sends Back a Defiant Answer to Wilhelm'a ThreatThrougbjGermanys Ambassador. London, March 8. The St Petersburg correspondent of the standard recounts, under reserve, a startling story in connec tion with the German Emperor's Branden burg speech. The correspondent .says that a gentleman who was present at the Brandenburg banquet when Emperor Will iam made his memorable speech, remarked to the Emperor, "Your Majesty should not forget Russia." To this remark Emperor William is said to have retorted, "I will pulverize Russia" When General Countvon Schuvaloff, the Russian Minister at Berlin, was apprised of this remark, an npon" investigation found that what he had heard was true, he imme diately acquainted M. de Giers, the Russian Minister ot Foreign Affairs, with the Facta in the case, who repeated Ihe remarks of the Emperor William, to the Czar. The latter summoned to his presence General von Schweiriitz, the JGerman Ambassador at St Petersburg, and after recounting to him the statement bv M. He Giers, said: "Tell your Emperor that when be wants to bemn nulverizincr I will throw 500,000 men "across the frontier with the greatest pleasure." ? POLITICS WITH RELIGION. B ie Bigoted Clsvelanders Insisted on fni Halting Such a Combination. OjBivETVND, O., March 7. Special. Tcwflbrrow night Bishop Horstman, of Phil adelphia, recently appointed to the diocese of Northern Ohio, is expected to reach this city. The City Council and Board of Control were invited to partici pate in the exercises attendant upon his coming, and accepted. To-day, at the regular weekly meetings ot the Baptist, Congregational and Methodist ministers, resolution's were adopted severely censuring the city officials. There is a general feeling of hostility among the native-born and Protestant citi zens at the acceptance of the invitation. The act is severely criticised, and as it just im mediately precedes an important municipal election, is likely to precipitate the question oi religion into tne coming local campaign. The Catholics have made elaborate prepara tions to receive their new Bishop. 8ES PREPARED FOB DEATH. The Wife of a Chicago Man Takes Poison In a Fit of Pique. TJlCHMOND. Ind., March 7. Mrs. Jennie McCracken committed suicide last night in a novel manner. After taking an ounce of cyanite of potassium she went to her room and hurriedly prepared herself for death. The poison threw her into convulsions that attracted the other occupants of the house, who, bursting in the room, found her dying. Her death occurred 15 minutes after the poison was taken. ' She was the wife of Edgar McCracken, a prominent business man of Chicago. It is supposed that his re fusal to leave Chicago ana cope here to re side among her relatives caused her to sui cide.

Mr. Burleigh said sadly, to-day, that he did not believe Mr. Miller ' intended to make- any fight fof delegates to the Albany convention on April 28. While .Mr. Miller is a Very busy man, there is another explana tion of his inattention to political affairs in the State just at this moment The explana tion, according to one of his friends, is that on the Harrison question he and ex-Senator Piatt are agreed. Depew and Hiscock are for Harrison. One of the big four said to-day: "While Flatt and Millqr do not like Harrison, the convention at Albany will adopt commen datory resolutions of the President's ad ministration. You can't go back on your own bantling, can yon? Bnt those resolu tions will mean little or nothing, for 'if a candidate can. be fonnd around whom a solid opposition to Harrison can be built, tbe present incumbent of the White House and his friends will be compelled to do some hustling to capture- the New York Stale delegation." v Florida is just now the mecca of both Democratic and Republican statesmen.

Some of the enthnsiastio friends, of Mr. Dickinson have compli mented him bv mentioning his name in connection with the Presiuental nomina tion. He is too loyal to his late chief to consider such a proposition, even U there was the slightest prospect of such an event. Some ot these friends also, speak of him seriously in connection with a Vice, Presi dental nomination on the ticket with Cleveland. Those who talked with the Michigan man to-dav say he appears to be positive that Mr. Clevelanil.wlll be the nominee of the Chicago Convention in spite of the oppo sition to him in New York. In view of Mr. Dickinson's failure as a political prophet four years ago his predictions are taken with liberal reservations at this time. FAMILY QuABBEL II? ILLINOIS. Morrison Doesnt Take Kindly to the Can didacy of Senator Palmer. Chicago, March 7. Hon. William R. Morrison, ot the Inter-State Commerce Commission, arrived In this city to-day. Speaking of the Cook County Democratic Convention, which last week indorsed the candidacy of General John M. Palmer for the Presidency, he said: I cannot see tbat it was conducted any differently than that which Instructed for Hill in New York State. I am opposed to Senator Palmer's candidacy and regard it as an unwise movement Senator Palmer is altogether too old to be a candidate. He la In his 75th year, and I don't believe anv rran at tbat ace should be a candidate, Then, again, the Democracy of the State would look upon Senator Palmer's candidacy as a girt to the Republicans of the Senatorship because 'tbe next .Legislature, which would elect a successor to General Palmer will, no doubt, be Republican. I shall have many friends in the Stato Convention. They will be staunch friends of mine. Thev will be opposed to General Palmor's candidacy, which is not looked noon favorably in the southern part of the State. I want to state rigbt here, however, that I never bolted tbe nomineo and I never will. Hence I bare uo reason to believe tbat my friepds wonld do such a thing. But 1 cannot tell what tbey will do.

Washington, March 7. Special In administration circles the impression pre vails that the President intends to appoint the successor of the late Mr. Justice Brad ley with as little delay as possible. The nomination may go to the Senate within the present week, .for it is understood the President has about conoluded to nom inate Judge Edward J. Green, of Trenton, N. J., now United States District Judge of that State. Judge Green is regarded as one of the ablest lawyers in tbe three judicial circuits, and his record, together with his indorsements, have made a favorable im pression upon the President Judge Green is about 50 years old, is an indefatigable worker on the bench, and would make a valuable addition to the Su preme Court He is a man of considerable means, and wonld be able to support with proper dignity a position in the Snpreme Court set at the national capital. His wife is one of the social leaders in Trenton, and their family includes three beautiful daughters and a son, who has gained some distinction by practicing medicine in Phila delphia. In view of the prolonged illness of the late Judge Bradley, tbe work In the Third circuit is somewhat behind, and as Judge Green is entirely familiar with the practice in the States embraced in the Third circuit,hi selection is generally commended . by tbe leading lawyers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

"I expect my fatherto be iq Philadelphia Tuesday evening," said Mr. Quay, in answer to a query about when the Senator might be expected. "He may not be here, however, until Satnrday." "Does anvt'hing special demand his atten . i . " . h''That i"aon't know. Ifhe is well enough to leave .Florida he is on his way .North now."

ALL FOR L0VR Two Wayward Pittsburg Girls Commit Suicide Oat in Denver. A special from Denver last night says: 'What is in all probability a double suicide was committed this afternoon by Effie Pryor and Allie Ellis by taking morphine. About 3 O'clock at their lodging house one of the lodgers heard the Pryor girl say, "Allie, you're not game," and heard the other one respond, "See if I aint" Then nothing more was heard. A little later they were found lying on their backs side by side upon the bed disrobed and gasping for breath, their faces distorted. It is understood as a probable cause of the act of Allie Ellis, that she was melancholy over the loss of a lover. She said that she would kill herself if he ever deserted her, which he did a short time since. Both girls came from Pittsburg and were inmates of houses here. ,. An effort was made to find someone who knew the girls, but no one could be found who could identify them by the names given in the dispatch. The supposition is that the names given are assumed.

The alleged inter State arrangement, the proprietors .pro fessed to believe, left no room for prosecu tion under the anti-poolselling law.

When the wagons ar rived the men were loaded in, and the sight of the long procession of loaded patrol wagons whirling through the streets at tracted immense crowd. The 250 prisoners were spared the ignomy of being put behind the bars. All were released on bonds signed by Proprietor McHie and ex-State Senator McNally, aggregating 550,000.

ZBOROWSH rSPICIALTXXIGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH.1 Siottx Falls, S. D.. March 7. Another chapter was written to-day in the romantic DeStenrs case. A decree of absolute di vorce was filed late Saturday evening, and at 11:30 o'clock this morning the plaintiff was quietly married to William Elliott Morse Zborowski at their suite of rooms at the Cataract House. The whole transaction was accompanied with the utmost secrecy, and un- . til after the ceremony was per formed none except the immediate circle knew that the divorce had been granted. The decree was signed late Satur day afternoon, the transcript of the testi mony having been given to the court March 1st After the court house was closed a carriage was sent for the clerk, who quietly accepted tbe filings. It was learned late this afternoon that yesterday afternoon Zborowski went to Rev. George Wallace, of the Augustine Episcopal Cathedral, and asked him whether he could unite Madame De Steers and the orator in marriage. Mr. Wallace replied that as a loyal clergyman in the Episcopal Church he could not perform the ceremony. 'He suggested, however, that Rev. John A. Crusan, of the First Congressional church, was not bound by church obligations, and tbat he would doubtless unite the couple. This was ar ranged and 11:30 o'clock this morning was the time set for the ceremony. , The Ceremony Performed Quietly. At 11 o'clock Zborowski secured his mar riage license of tbe Clerk of tbe Court The witnesses to the ceremony were Her bert A. Shipman, of New York, and John S. Lewis, of this city, the latter a close fnend ot Zborowski. After the service Mr. and Mrs. Zborowski and the witnesses sat down to a cheery ban quet, at the close" of which it was agreed to keep the whole thing quiet Late in the afternoon, however, it was reported tbat the wedding had taken place. W. H. Cor son, one of the Cataract House proprieters, when asked about it, insisted and doubtless believed tbat it was not true. Herbert A. Shipman was also asked. "It is preposterous," said Mr. Shipman, when it was called to his attention- that a mar riage license-hid been issued. He declared that it was not an uncommon thing for New York people to get their licenses several months in advance of tbe time when they were to be used. Rev. Mr. Cruson absolutely refused to say whether or not he' had performed the ceremony,and Zborowski himself had "noth ing to say." They were married just the same, and that, too, in less than 48 hours after the decree of divorce was signed. Madame Zborowski a Sick Woman. Ever since the trial Madame De Steurs has been very ilL Her condition was so alarming that last week two eminent phy sicians were telegraphed for from Chicago. She is still in a very nervous and weak con dition. When she recovers sufficiently to travel it is understood an extensive bridal tour will be taken. In his decree Judge Aikens makes the following findings of fact: ' That since tbe marriage, of plaintiff and defendant tbe defendant has been guilty of acts of extreme cruelty toward the plaintiff, which have Inflicted grfovous mental suffer ings upon ber, said acts consisting of repeateu ana unmentea cen sure in tbe presence of others, and finally culminating, on the 13th day of Jane, 1S90, in tbe defendant spiriting away from the society, custody and control of tbe plaintiff, her two minor chil dren, upon the pretext that tho plaintiff was in an unbalanced state of mind and tbat the children were in danger of being affected by her malady, to their great detriment, were tbey allowed to be with ber. In justification of this act tbe defendant presents a certifi cate or certat. physicians, one of whom is a renowned specialist in nervous diseases. Not Posted on the Facts. Tbe extent of the acquaintance of said physicians with the plaintiff, and tbe pre tended examination of her personally (which is given in evidence minutely), were insuf- . flcient tor any human being to base or form an intelligent and Just opinion upon, and for this reason tbe court finds that the chil dren were, as hereinbefore stated, spirited away from their mother, tbe daughter being placed in a convent by a scheme which it would not be doing violence to reasonable inference to flna was in its in ception intended to end in the Incarcera tion of tbe mother, this- plaintiff, as alleged in tbe complaint This was sufficient to warrant tbe plaintiff in ceasing to love the defendant Tbe conclusions of law are: First tbat the marriage mentioned in the complaint herein entered into between the plaintiff, .Margaret Laura DeS tears, and tbe defendant, AI phonso Eugene L. DeStenrs,be dissolveoand tbat tne said patties andeeach of tbem, tbe said plaintiff and said defendant, be freed from tbe obligations thereof. Second, tbat tbe plaintiff, Margaret Laura DeSteurs, bas tbe sole custody and control of tbe minor child, Margaret Eugenie Isabel Victorine DeSteurs. The defense will appeal to the Supreme Court D. E. Powers, of the defense, said: "The case will be appealed. There are not ten families in Sioux Falls which could not get a decree of divorce on the same rulings and findings of the court" , STONES ON THE! TRACE. AWell-NIgh Successful Effort to Wreck m , Fast Express Train. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 7. There was a dastardly attempt to wreck the fast Chicago express trainion the Hudson River Railroad Sunday night The train left New York at 6 p. M., and was composed mostly of sleeping cars. It- was running at the rate of CO miles an hour. Half a mile north of theBarrytownstationthe engineplowed inta dressed stones, each two or three feet squara which had been placed upon the rails. sudden was the collision that passenge i were thrown from their seats. For 100 feet the train forced its way through the ob struction, hurling the stones in every direc tion and tearing up ties, but neither the en gine nor any of the cars were derailed. The work was undoubtedly that of one man because on both sides ot the track the ground was soft and bnt two foot prints were visible. Suspicion points to two local characters of Barry towa and they are 'so closely watched that If they attempt to leave they will be arrested. Foot New Cases of Typaas. NxwYojut, lUtA 7.
