Two More White Patients Added to the Death List—A Rain Storm Sat3 in at Night—The Falling'Off in New Cases Attributed to the Recent Cold Spell—The Total of Cases for the Epidemic Expected to Slightly Ex ceed 1,000 Three New Cases at Jesup. Brunswick, Ga., Oct. 27. —The official Teport for to-day showed six new cases, one white and five colored. The new white patient is Miss Irma Lambright, on St. Simons. The colored are: Dr. C. A. Blair, J. Jackson, relapse: Madeline Winks, Wil liam Glenor, and Alvin Stewart. Two whites died—Bessie Firth and Hilda Paulsen. The following were discharged: Whites —C. Perkins and P. Gavin. Colored —M. Carter, Aaron Mungin, An nie Walbury, Willie Webb, John Jones, Mary Mungin, Sadie Maulding, and Het tie Jones. A CHANGE IN THE WEATHEB. To-night at 7 o’clock rain began falling steadily, making the atmosphere some wrhat cool. The indications for a cold, rainy nor’wester are good. The effect on the patients under treatment will be bad and the change will cause the disease to spread greatly. The great drop in cases to-day can be attributed to the weather prevailing recently. The cold spell of a few days back stopped the progress greatly and the scarcity of material helped the situation. The mala ria type had commenced to spread rapidly under the weather influence, aided by the scarcity of ma terial for yellow fever, but the change to-night will change the type,and proba bly bring about cases of complicated yel low and malarial fever. The cause of the large number of cases within the past few days and the sudden drop to-day can be attributed to the cool nights that brought out the germs in those that would have been merely walking cases, but their effect in stopping the spread bid fair to counterbalance them. There are 4,000 people in Brunswick. Those who have had the fever and those under treatment, including the immunes found by the cen sus, will number nearly 1,000. The num ber of cases by the end of the epidemic will go slightly over 1,000, but the per centage of deaths will hardly he over 10 per cent, unlesjs the weather changes greatly. All the physicians are hopeful. Two deaths from other causes than yel low fever occurred to-day. One white, an infant of C. A. Herfle, and one colored, Bob Roberts, who had become deaf, dumb and blind from old age. AN APPEAL FOR CLOTHING. An error is being made by some papers in kindly publishing statements that Brunswick's relief committee are appeal ing for clothing for the destitute people. This mistake doubtless resulted from an appeal issued by an individual minister, a member of the relief committee, on be half of his own congregation. Bruns wick needs clothing for her poor, but has issued no appeal for it. Brunswick appreciates tho kind and generous contributions sent her by the outside world, but does not desire to appeal for clothing. The people here are satisfied that generous friends are doing their best for them and they do not want to be placed in the light of making further appeals for aid. An effort will be made to care for the people with what has and will be sent without urging any thing more. THREE NEW CASES AT JESUP. Jesup, Ga., Oct. 27.—Three new cases of fever were reported to-day. The new patients are: Mrs. W. T. Wilkins and Miss Georgia Wilkins (white), and Isaac Parks, a negro. These parties have been sick for the last throe days, but the dis ease has been of such a mild character as to be almost indistinguishable from the ordinary type of malarial fever and Dr. Lincoln apprehends no difficulty in their recovery, neither does he think the cases will be of long duration on account of tho premonitory symptoms. Now that the epidemic is drawing to its close, and the danger seems 1o be in a large degree past, the people within tho quarantine lines are beginning to give manifestations of impatience, and to quar rel with the government and city authori ties on every corner. One can see groups of four to five men discussing tho situa tion in a most dissatisfied manner. EACH HAS A PLAN. Each and every one is confident in his own mind that he is more able to cope with the existing condition of affairs and save this portion of tho county from any further trouble and distress than the surgeon general of tho marine hospital service and his whole corps of assistants put together. It has been a great draw back to Jesup that a number of her ci’izens have been opposed to the govern ment's management of affairs here, and of late, as the danger is passing, their complaints are becoming more outspoken. It is not with the local representatives of the government that they find fault, hut in the confidence induced by ignorance they presume to criticise the whole plan of quarantine as carried on by the authorities at Washing ton, and each is sure that he could pro duce a lietter and safer system for the safety of the people than the present one. very largo majority of the prominent citizens, however, are thoroughly in sym pathy with the government in all its Actions. A DRUG CLERK RUNS AWAY. Iherc lias been another gross violation “‘e quarantine restrictions, and that, too, by a man who should certainly have hnruvn better. It is excusable when a >n-ro or an uneducated white man " atts these laws, because they are un jn character and he knows no bet ter, neither realizing the penalty which “o incurs himself nor the danger of in in u OU *‘ e carries to others, but when, as “ this ease, a man deliberately breaks * e quarantine who is a druggist thi' medical student, and who noroughly comprehends the crime _.® s committing, no punish ant , an be too severe to be inflicted \Varri ? ’i hc party referred to is C.

A BENEFIT AT TUOMASVILLE. Thomasvilie, Ga., Oct. 27.—At a bene fit entertainment last night something over #l3O was realized for the benefit of the Brunswick sufferers. DR. KNOTT’S FEVER TREATMENT. He Was Not Allowed to Experiment With it at Brunswick. Wayeross, Ga., Oct. 27.—Dr. J. J.lCnott arrived here yesterday morning from the United States detention camp at Waynes ville. As he had a five days’ certificate of detention and the city requires ten days, he was not permitted to stop or change cars in the city. The mayor ordered that he be taken to the refugee camp, a mile from the city. He was guarded all day and was not permitted to leave the camp until last night, when he returned to Atlanta. Dr. Knott wont to Bruns wick a few weeks ago to test his treat ment lor yeliow fever on patients if al lowed to do so. He failed to get permis sion to treat cases and was obliged to abandon the idea for the present. MITCHELL AND THE FIGHT. He Will Go to New Orleans if Three Conditions Are Complied With. New York, Oct. 27.—Charley Mitchell was in earnest conversation with Phil Dwyer in the Hoffman House last night when informed that Champion “Jim’’ Corbett had accepted the offer of $20,000 from the New Orleans Olympic club. He took the matter very coolly and said after a few moments’ reflection: "I will not put anything in the way of the fight be tween Corbett and myself. Anything fair will suit me. The Olympic club’s offer, I consider, is a fair one, and you can say for me that I accept it under these conditions: “First, That the Olympic Club officials send me my expenses to New Orleans. “Second. That they will guarantee me protection before raid after the fight. “Third. If they are unable to pull off the fight that they will pay my training ex penses. “If they will comply with these condi tions I will go to New Orleans within five 'days and agree to meet Corbett in the arena on the same date I agreed to fight him before the Coney Island Athletic Club. Tho New Orleans club will have to act quickly, for I am sick and tired of the whole affair, and am anxious to have it settled definitely as soon as possible. Now let them speak and I will do the rest.” FIRK ON THE GELLERT. Flames in the Steerage, and Extin guished after a Hard Fight. New York, Oct. 27.—The steamship Gellert sailed safely into port early this morning and landed her 465 passengers. Her voyage was an eventful one, and every one of her passengers wore a happy look as he or she walked down the gang plank and put foot ashore. The Gellert left Hamburg on Oet. 16 and fared well so far as wind aud sea are concerned. At mid night on Sunday Oct. 22, however, the officer on watch received information that there was fire in theaftership. The cap tain was hastily notified and all hands were ordered on deck. An examination showed that smoke from the fire came out of the ventilators that enter the steerage. The ventilntors and nil other openings were tightly closed and a stream of water was turned into the steerage and lower hold. Steam was also turned on and every effort made to extinguish the fire. A few hours after daylight Monday the fire was located, and the streams of water were turned directly on the flames. Lines of hose were run through holes in tho sa loon deck, and all day Monday and Mon day night water was constantly thrown into the burning steerage. By noon yes terday the fire was extinguished and all danger was over. A MURDERER SURROUNDED. He Will Probably Have to Bs Killed Before Taken. New Orleans, La., Oct. 27.—From in formation received here last night it is believed that the murderer of Judge Es topinal Roseleans Julien, whose three brother’s were lynched by a mob just after the murder, is surrounded in a drainage machine at Boutte station, thirty miles above the city. This is a very sparsely settled section and a request has been sent hero to send a posse of twenty men to tho scene at once to assist in the capture. It is not thought that he will be taken alive. A letter was found in the Carrollton police station yes terday morning as the janitor was sweep ing out. addressed to Chief of Police Gas ter, which stated that the murderer intended to return to Jefferson parish and kill some of the men who murdered his brothers. Among those he named was Judge I A)rig. A posse is now being organ ized to go to Boutte to attempt the cap ture of Julien. MAY SAVE THE NEW YORK. An Attempt to be Made to Float Her as Soon as She is Lightered. San Francisco, Cal., Oet. 27.—The steamer City of New York, which Went ashore off Point Bonita last evening, is now lying easily in smooth water, and it is hoped that she may be pulled off if the weather continues favorable. A sharp spur of rock upon which she ran was driven entirely through the vessel's bot tom in such a manner that it is thought unadvisable to attempt to get her off until entirely lightered of all her cargo. This work is being pushed with all possible speed. She has listed considerably to port. ; FIGHTING IN GUATEMALA. Soldiers Claim That the Alleged Brig ands Are Revolutionists. New York, Oct. 27.—A special to the World from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, says: “The government troops sent out after the bandits have returned after having attacked the bandits aud being repulsed, in tlie engagement three of ficers and 14 soldiers were killed, and many wounded.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATUKDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1893. A RED HANDEDDEMON HUNG Doc Taylor Pays the Penalty for His Part in a Massacre. His Two Confederates in the Killing of the Mullins Family Still at Large The Trio Waylaid the Family as They Were Driving Along a Moun tain Road in Virginia and Fired Into Them at Close Range—Five Killed. Robbery the Object, and $1,600 Ob tained. Roanoke, Vn., Oct. 27.—Doc Taylor, who massacred the Mullins family on May 14, 1892. expiated his terrible crime on the gallows at Wise court house, 5 miles from here, a few moments boforo 2 o’clock to-day. At his own request the sheriff allowed him to address the multitude in the fore noon. He appeared at a window in tho court house at 10:15 a. m., and stood for a moment looking over the vast throng who stood in the pouring rain to get a glimpse of such a famous and eccentric man. Ho was dressed in a white suit, made of a damask linen table cloth. He wore a standing collar and pure white tie. His footwear consisted of black slippers and white cotton socks. OTENS THE SERVICES. After he had viewed the crowd he, reached for his book of worship and read a selection from the New Testament and asked the thirty persons who stood around him to sing “How firm a founda tion,” which was followed by prayer, led by the prisoner, who took oft his slippers and knelt on his wife’s faded black shawl. Another song was sung and ho read from his text the verse in Revelation, begin ning "Behold. 1 stand at the door and knock.” He then consumed an hour and a half in reading and talking, but seldom touched the text. He was not agitated, made no confession, said nothing of his crime, and closed his speech a few minutes before noon. He then went back to his cell and rested until 2 o'clock, when he was taken to the gallows. Thirty persons witnessed the execution. He spoke but a few words be fore the black cap was adjusted. According to his request his remains will not be buried for three days, when, he says, he will rise again. TAYLOII’S CRIME. The crime for which Taylor paid tho penalty to-day, was committed May 17, 1892, and was more in the nature of a massacre than an ordinary murder. So Hideous was it in every detail and so heartless in its execution, that it shocked even the inhabitants of this mountain re gion. who are not unused to hearing tales of murder. Ira Mullins, a man who was so lame that ho could not walk, lived at Pound Gap, near the state line between Ken tucky and Virginia. At the time the murder was committed he had boon to Lecher county, Kentucky, to dispose of a tract of land, and was returning to his home in company with his wife and his daughter, his brother. John Mullins, and tlie latter's wife and son. This, with a silly boy, who was the driver, composed the party. A SURVIVOR TELLS THE STORY. Mrs. John Mullins and her son escaped to tell the story. Mrs. John Mullins was the principal witness against Taylor Her evidence in court was to the effect that Ira Mullins and his family were in the wagon a short distance in front of her, and where the pathway led into the main road, when she heard a volley fired. Hastening up to where they wore she saw the horses and driver dead. Immediately Doc. Taylor and two others, John and He nan Fleming, came out of the woods that lay between the pathway and the road and commenced firing at close range into the wagon. Ira Mullins and his wife and son were killed in that volley. At that instant her husband, John Mullins, and her son came up the pathway. The guns of the murderers were turned on them and John Mullins foil lifeless; but his son fled and escaped alive. MRS. MULLINS ALLOWED TO 00. In the meantime Mrs. Mullins had alighted from her horse, and running up to them, begged them "for God's 3ake to quit shooting, as they are ali killed now, ’when one of them turned to her and said, “that if she did not leave there and— — quick they would kill her too.” She then ran away and left them. The murderers then proceeded to rifle ttie pockets of their victims, securing from Ira Mullins the price of tho land he had sold, which was about SI,OOO. They then mutilated the bodies of their victims in the most horrible and revolting man ner. Taylor, for some time afterwards, made his abode with the Flemings, where ho was in tolerably safe hiding. Fearing capture there, he went to Norton, boarded a freight train and went to Bluefield. THE ARREST. The authorities of Norton wired Detect ive W. G. Baldwin, of the Norfolk and Western railroad, who arrested him as he was boarding the west-bound passenger train. He was tried in the circuit court by Judge Norris. The verdict was guilty and he was sentenced to death, being taken to Lynchburg for safe keeping. His counsel secured a writ of error and argued the case before the court of ap peals, which sustained the verdict of the lower court, and he was brought back and resentenced to be hanged to-da.v. Ho leaves a family, all grown and well res pected. It was claimed by his friends that he was insane, and petitions were circulated last week to ask the governor to ex tend the time or commute his sentence to life imprisonment, but not many signed it. He was very eccentric and had queer religious ideas, a kind of faith which may cause some to think his mind was unbai anced. THE FLEMINGS STILL AT TARGE. The Flemings are still at large, al though strenuous efforts have been made for their capture. laist July Sheriff Miller led a posse of twenty In quest of them. While Sheriff Miller was walking alone he discovered them, and firing commenced on both sides at once. Ho succeeded in wounding one of them in the shoulder, but they made their escape before the posse reinforced the sheriff. Another posse was organized, but tho search was in vain. TAYLOR’S HISTORY. Dr. Marshall B. Taylor was bom in Scott county. Virginia, about fifty-eight years ago. After having acquired a prim itive education, he went to Lee <ounty and studied medicine. From there he went to I Aitchercount v. Kentucky, where he practiced his profession In a short time he removed to Wise county, wh< re lie continued the practice of medicine un til ill* arrest During his resi dence in Kentucky he was ar rested and placed on trial for the murder of Robert Moore iu VS uw county, but his counsel secured a verdict of not guilty by proving au alibi. It is gene rally believed here that lie was guilty It is said, and generally believed here, that Taylor was hired to kill Moore and that he got a large sum of money for it. He was a very eccentric mau, full of spiritu alistic ideas. He would hold spiritual seances at his home, where he claimed to perform wonderful feats through the in fluence' of the spirits, A HANGING AT MADISON.

Chicago, Oct. 27.—0n0 million dollars in money will be given by Marshall Field to the museum which is to be the out come of the world’s fair. Mr. Field names conditions which will bo easily complied with. They are simply that $509,000 more be subscribed, and tiiat the stockholders of the world's Colum bian exfiosUion subscribe to the funds #2,000.000 of their holdings, which represent an invest ment of $5,000,000, but aro worth much less. The biggest stockholders never ex pected to realize anything on their in vestment, and they have already cx jiressed a willingness to turn over ail the stock they have. The trustees of the museum have no doubt that a majority of the $5,000,000 of the world's fair stock will be turned over to them, as also the $500,000 to be raised before Mr. Field's munificent offering is secured. Of the amount. SIOO,OOO has been unconditionally subscribed by George M. Pullman. Tho balance, it is said, will be raised in a few days. MAY NOT BE RUN.

The Outlook Points to a Dull Session at Atlanta. Tho Members Not Loaded With as Many New or Sensational Bills as Expected -The Anti-Cigarette Bill Passed Mr. dußignon Indulging in a Friendly Handshaking Match- The Chatham Delegation Looking for a Brief from City Attorney Adams in Support of the Police Court Bill. A BUI to License the Carrying of Pistols. Atlauta, Ga., Oet. 27.—This was a dull day in legislative circles, the beginning of a series of dull days, for tho prospect of any live issues being sprung grows more faint as the session proceeds. It was expected that the members would come back with their jiockets full of new bills, and among them, probably, some that would break the awful monotony of the prospect, but it now looks as if most of the members came back empty-handed. The election of judges lias been set for Monday morning at 10 o’clock. The contest in the Flint circuit will draw out the members from that section to a hard light between tho three candidates, but their colleagues have not so far given token of interest in tho contest. THE CIGARETTE HILL. To-day’s sessions in both Houses were dreadfully devoid of interest, except for a little tilt over the passage of the anti-cigarette bill introduced by Mr. Stapleton, of Sumter. Several earnest speeches wern made on the bill, which provides for tho prohibition of tho sale of cigarettes or cigarottc materials in Geor gia, except medicated ones. It was passed, but notice was served that a mo tion to reconsider would be made to mor row morning. MR. DUBIGNON ON IIAND. Hon. Fleming dußignon has been here nil the week hobnobbing with tho mem bers. He is frequently on the floor of the Houses, and in the lobby. His hand shaking with tho members is taken to bo in the interest of his anticipated candi dacy for tho United States Senate. Among those who watch Mr. dußignou’s movements closely is Maj. Bacon, the senior member from Bibb. He is reported to have his lines out for the Senate, and there seems to be good foundation for t his talk, judging from out ward appearances, though the major refuses to discuss the subject, at least with the newspaper men. I-Jist session he was loaded with anti-rail road legislation, but this year he has nothing special to do but hobnob with the members. TUB POt,ICE COURT BILL. The Chatham delegation is looking for a brief from City Attorney Adams to support tho police court bill introduced yesterday. Mr. Adams prepared the bill and will furnish legal data to controvert the opposition to it on tho ground of its unconstitutionality. His position is that a fine imposed by the jiolice court in a felony case is just as legal as if levied in a state court after a trial by a jury, because the defendant has the right of appeal to tlie council, then to the city court and a jury, aud flnall.f to tho supreme court. Mr. Adams was wired for this brief yesterday, but it has not ar rived yet. A LICENSE TO CARRY PISTOLS. Mr. Johnson, of Clinch, introduced a bill in the House this morning to license the carryingof pistols. This bill provides for the repeal of tho present law pro hibiting tlie carrying of concealed wea pons. It then provides that any one can carry a pistol, a dirk, a sword cane, or any other sort of dangerous weapon, if ho go before tho ordinary of his county and takes out a license for this privilege, at the same time giving a strong bond for SSOO, that he will not assault any ono with' tho weapon. DANGEROUS FOR TIIE BONDSMEN. It stipulates that tlie licensed pistol carrier, if lie unlawfully assaults any bo iy. will have his bond forfeited, and will at the same time be prosecuted, and if convicted, punished for a felony instead of a misdemeanor, as at present. Mr. Johnson lives in the turpentine region, and says he wants to take the pistol from the negro and put it in the hands of re sponsible men who are able to give bond. The voice of the doctor will be heard in the hall of the capitol next week. Tho bill relating to the establishment of a board of medical examiners has been set for Friday before the House Judiciary committee, and a whole train load of doc tors is expected to be on hand to fight it. NOTHING NEW AT RIO. No Further Word Received From Rear Admiral Stanton. Washington, Oct. 27.—1n reply to ques tions put to him this afternoon as to whether there was any news of the case of Acting Rear Admiral Stanton, detached from the command of the American fleet at 'Rio, Secretary Herbert replied in the negative. While][ the stoamshipl Itltaba, whose nationality is unknown, but whose cargo was controlled by New York shippers, was in the harbor of Rio, she was levied on by Admiral Mello for flour. The ad miral gave in exchange therefor a receipt for the flour. Out this did not apjiear to be satisfactory to the shippers. They thereupon wrote to the department of state, not for the purpose of asking that tlie regular government of Brazil tie asked to pay for the flour, hut to have tho department see if somo more satisfactory evidence of liability might not be had. The depart ment promptly informed the persons in terested that it was not practicable for it to intervene to obtain security in such a case. Miss Garland Kills Herself. Washington, Oct 27. Miss Daisy Gar land, daughter of ex-lJnited States At torney General Garland, committed suicide at her home in this city by shoot ing herself this morning. She was 91 years of age, and is thought to have been insane at the tini s. Two New Fostofflces in Georgia. Washington, Oct. 27 Two new post offices were established in Georgia to day. One ut Jafray, Ualhoun county, with J. W. Fruet as postmaster, and the other at Maggie. Iraureiis county, with W H. Warren iu charge. One of Mrs. Davis’ Barns Burned. Vicksburg, Miss., Oct. 27 The'large barn on the Hriarflcld plantation, the property of Mrs Jefferson Davis, con taining 4,MM! bushels of corn and some Log*, woe bunted lost night. CENTRAL’S CASE APPEALED. The Matter to go Before the Court of Appeals at New Orleans. Macon, Ga., Oct. 27.—Judge Emery Speer spent a few hours in Macon to-day and while here the appeal to the circuit court of appeals from the decree ren dered by Justice Jackson in Savannah last June, was perfected. In that decree Justice Jackson ruled that there was equity in the Ho wen Clarke bill whore it sought to break the lease of tho Central to the Georgia Pacific and so far as it sought to take tho possession of the Cen tral road from tho Richmond ami Dan ville, but held at tho same time that inas much ns tho Georgia Pacific and the Danville on Mareli 28, 1892, disclaimed any right to hold tho property, there was now no further equity and that the bill should be dismissed, the complainants to pay half the costs. He further ruled that Judges Pardee and Speer erred when they enjoined the Terminal company from voting the 42,(XX) shares. TIIE ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS. The assignment Of errors on which tho appeal is made is elaborate. They claim that tho Richmond and Danville did not surrender all tho Central’s property in March, 1892; that Judges Pardee and Speer were right when they ruled out the 42,000 shares; that if the equity was out of the bill on March 28, 1892, the Danville is entitled to some SOOO,OOO, monies received from them sineo that time by counsel for the Central and tho complainant, Rowcna M. Clarke. The ap peal will go before the circuit court of appeals which convenes in New Orleans on the third Monday in November. Un less a decree is obtained then reversing Justice Jackson tho Terminal Company will elect the now hoard of directors of ho Central next January. REPEAL OF THE STATE BANK TAX. The House Gets in a Wrangle Over a Call for Information. Washington, Oct. 27. —The proceedings of the House this rabrntng were opened by Representative Hudson, of Kansas, who rose to a ques tion of personal privilege, and had read a long special Washington dispatch containing a statement purporting to huve been made by Judge Latn oreux, commissioner of the gen eral land office, to a congressman relative to tho Investigation of the Cherokee strip outrages. The statement delved into the intricacies of Kansas poli tics and intimated that Mr. Hudson said his populistic coat was simply a mask for Simon Pure democracy. The statement was followed by some observations of the newspaper correspondent relative to tho alleged antagonism between Speaker ('risp and Secretary Hoke Smith and tho former s alleged ambition for a seat in tho Senate. Mr. Hudson had a letter from Judge Lamorcux read, denying that ho had given tho correspondent the state ment and he. Mr. Hudson, denied all knowledged of the matter himself and hoped the speaker would get the seuutor ship if he wants it. A wave of applause over tlie floor and galleries answered this complimentary allusion to the speaker. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE. Another disturbance followed over tho resolution retiorted back from the bank ing and currency committee by Chairman Springer culling for information as to the state banks. Some of the friends of tho repeal of the state bank tax thought that they saw in this resolution uu ut'empt to throw an ob stacle in tho way of tho measure. Mr. Hall, of Wisconsin, opposed the resolution. Ho explained that the infor mation which would be obtained by tho resolution, had been compiled under the republican administration of tho treasury department for campaign purposes, it would require several years to obtain tho information called for if Mr. Carlisle se cured the information fresh handed. Ho either hud to use tlie republican campaign document or nothiug. THE INFORMATION NEEDED. Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, declared that congress needed and should have this in formation before it acted on such an im portant question as the proposition to re juvenate state banks and wildcat money. If the time has come, said he, when con gress cannot obtain, bona fide and reliablo information from un official of this gov ernment. wo had better close tho doors of tlie executive departments. Mr. Turner, of Georgia, was bitterly opposed to this resolution. Mr. Springer denied that the resolution had been offered witli any desire to em barass tlie proposition to repeal the state bank tax, or throw any obstacle in its way. He assured the House that the in formation could be obtained by Dec. 1. Mr. Dingley argued in the same line. SPERRY CONCLUDES THE DEBATE. Mr. Sperry concluded the debate with a vigorous speech in favor of the resolu tion. At the conclusion of liis speech, the vote was taken on the adoption of the resolution. The rising vote was as fol lows: Ayes,7 5; nays, 44. Mr. Allen,of Mississippi, madethe point of no quorum. The ayes and nays were ordered by a vote of IMi to 56. Again no quorum, and the House adjourned until Monday. The vote is considered by both the friends and opjionents of the repeal of the state bank tax as a pretty good test as to tlie sentiinentof the House un the main question.

Pdfer’s Amendment tlie First One Snowed Under. The Vote on it Stood 39 Nays to 28 Ayes Mr. Perkins Offers an Amend* ment Which Provides for the Coin age of American Silver at thu Existing Ratio—The Senate Fi nance Committee’s Substitute for the House Bill Adopted. Washington, Oct. 27. —Senator Morrill, of Vermont, the oldest member of tho Senate, uppearod in his seat this morning, after an absence of two months, and was warmly welcomed by his colleagues on both sides of tho chamber. Mr. Cullom, of Illinois, offered a Joint resolution transferring the exhibit of tho navy department, known as tlie model ef the battle ship Illinois, to tho state of Illinois, as an armory for the use of tho naval militia of tlie state on the termle nation of the world’s fair. The Senate bill to aid tlie states of Cal ifornia, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada. Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota, to support a school of mines (allowing to each state 25 per cent, of tlie proceeds of the sales of min eral lands within tho state, but not to ex ceed $12,000a year), reported yesterday from the committee on public lands, was on motion of Mr. Dubois, rep., of Idaho, considered. The bill was advocated by Messrs. Teller, Dubois and Pettigrew, rep., and Mr. McPherson, dem., and Mr. Higgins. On motion of Mr. Washburn, tho statu of Minnesota was included, and as thus amended the bill was passed. The consideration of the repeal bill was resumed and Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, took up tho thread of his argument wlier# he stopped last evening when the Senate took a recess. qniTE A MUSI NO. Questioning Mr. Stewart as to tils jiosl tion, Mr. Carr, rep., of Wyoming, said: “1 say you are a silver mono-metallist.” "I say you are mistaken,” replied Mr. Stewart hotly. . “You do not know wluvt bi-metallism is.J’ [Laughter. ] Losing his patience, Mr. Stewart asked “how many times must I tell you a thing before you understand it f” [Laughter.] “I think I understand,” Mr. Carr said, “und if you understood it more and talked less, wo would get along bettor.” [ Daughter. ] "I tbiuk you have talked to the full ex tent of your information,” replied Mr. Stewart, and then he drifted into a de nunciation of the gold ring, and criticism of the administration. At 10:20 o’clock Mr. Stewart yielded to his colleague. Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones said a lawyer arguing a case would net proceed with much enthusiasm if he believed a decision had been ren dered ami the seal put upon it by the clerk. Mr. Teller contended that no cotton goods were exported from India until tho cheapened price of silver stimulated ex portation. The same was true as to wheat. Mr. McPherson ascribed the production in and tlie exportation from India of cot ton and wheat to nature, there being nothing else thut could be grown there. INDIA’S COMPETITION. Mr. Jones traced the competition of India in these two commodities to the de monetization of silver in 1873, which was done, not by nature but by the legisla ture. in the further.course of his speech. Mr. Jones said that in this country it was not possible for the farmer aud cotton planter to be benefited directly by pro tection. By legislation bringing the price of silver to $1.29 an ounce, where tho fathers of the republic placed it, and not by a market price, thero would tie an absolutely certain method, with out any cost whatever to tho country, of giving protection to tho farmers and cotton planters both north and south. After reading the letter from the President to Gov. Northern Mr. Jones saiil if lie had been as explicit before tho election as he was now he would not have been elected. Mr. McPherson, of New Jersey, asked Mr. Jones n long question, and when ho sat down tho latter said: "I don't be lieve there is a single senator on the floor who can understand tho question.” M’riIERSON YIELDB TO VOOKHEEB. Mr. McPherson started to restate his question, but being appealed to by Mr, Voorhees, yielded to that senator. “I understand that the senator from Nevada,” said Mr. Voorhees, “desires to complete his remarks to-morrow. I re gret that he is not able to complete them now. but I shall not press him. I suggest in the economy of time that he and the senator from New Jersey might between now and when the former resumes the floor, come to an understanding as to the question the senator from New Jersey has asked.’’ [laughter.] “It will take about that time,” said Mr. Jones. D in the meantime,” said Mr. Voorhees, “as there seems to be nobody who is ready to goon now, and not with a view of de nying anybody the privilege of speaking, I ask for a vote on the pending amend ment and let us get along in tnis way.” “As fast as we can,” Mr. Hill sug gested. Mr. McPherson —I prefer to have the senator from Nevada answer myquestion. Mr. Voorhees -He can do it to-morrow if he can do it at all. [ Laughter.] PEEPER'S AMENDMENT DEFEATED. The Vice President stated tho question to be on the amendment of the senator from Kansas, Mr. Peffer. Mr. Peffer said ho was not ready to vote on the amendment. Ho desired to sub mit some remarks in advocacy of it. Af ter a little parliamentary sparring as to which senator. Mr. Peffer or Mr. Voor hees, was entitled to the floor, Mr. Peffer proceeded. He had discovered in tlie public prints that he had surrendered, and hod recommended to iiis political as sociate to surrender. “Mr. President, we have not surrendered nor do we in tend to. We do not intend to interiose factious opposition, but ut every stage we shall interpose determined resistance and determined opposition.” The question was then put und tlie anieiituicnt wh* rejected by a vote of 28 ayes to 39 nays The detailed vote on Peffer amendment was: Yeas Messrs.
