THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1803. VOORHEES FEELS BIG The Hoosier Demagogue Almost Flooded with Congratulations. His Friends Seem to Forget that to Republican Senators Is Due the Passage of tho Repeal Bill. MR. PEFFER 3IUCII SURPRISED He Was Evidently Not Posted on Daniel's Financial Vagaries.

Another Candidate for the Indianapolis Snrveyorship Place for Major Kidd, of Wabash. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Nov. L-Senator Voorhees 13 being literally Inundated with letters and telegrams from all parts of tho country congratulating him, as chairman of the finance committee, upon the final success of the bill unconditionally repealing the sliver-purchase law, after a struggle the most memorable In the history of file Senate.

Naturally, the Hoosier Senator feels very good after a success which nine-tenths of the men in Congress for nearly two months confidently believed would result in defeat, a success which Senator Voorhees himself for weeks secretly believed was beyond the power of achievement. An Intimate senatorial friend of Senator William AlfroJ Peffer, of Kansas, who, by the way, was an Indiana school teacher for some time and up to June, 1S53, when he went West to grow up with the country, says that Senator Voorhees escaped a severe personal castlgatlon at the hands of "His Whiskers" from the cyclone State. Senator Peffer, In looking over the congressional directory a few days ego was made to gasp with astonishment by finding in the autobiography of Daniel Woolsey Voorhees numerous references to his lifelong greenback and free silver principles. He was astonished to read these sentences from the biography written by the Indiana Senator: "Soon after entering the Senate he addressed that body In favor of free coinage of silver and thj preservation of a greenback currency as full legal-tender money. Jn this speech he laid down the principles on which, as a direct issUe, the State of Indiana was carried by the Democratic party the following year (1S73) by over thirty thousand in tha election of members of the legislature, and this Legislature returned him to the Senate by twenty-three majority on joint ballot over Benjamin Harrison." When Senator Peffer read this from the pen of Senator Voorhees he exclaimed to a benator who sat beside him word3 in effect like these: "If the present action of Mr.

Voorhees does not constitute him a. traitor to his constituency I cannot st-e what will make a man a traitor, and I Intend to call the attention of the country to this fact." Senator Peffer, probably after reading the observations of his illustrious predecessor, John J. In qui Is, a few years ago, In re- Bpect to the publio career of Mr. Voorhees. formulated In his mind a speech which one Senator, after talking the matter over to the Populist statesman from Kansas, described as being1 "highly sensational In character." Senator Teller, hearing that Mr.

was going to "submit Borne remarks upon Mr. Voorhees," went to the gentleman from Kansas and asked him to desist from further speech making, taying that he (Teller) was almost sick, his health having become delicate from the long siege. Mr. Peffer did not make' his epeech, and thus Indiana has been saved from another laundry scene. SEX AT 12 PKOCEEDIA'GS Mr.

III11 Propose to Change the Rules Debate on the Chinese. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. After the reading and approval of yesterday's journal in the Senate several bill3 were favorably reported from committees and placed on the calendar.

A joint resolution was reported by Mr. Gray, from the committee on foreign relations, to provide for printing the history ftr.d digests of international arbitrations to vhich the United States was a party. Mr. Gray said it would be a valuable history, and asked that it be passed. The bill was passed.

Mr. Hill offered two amendments to the rules, and a ked their reference to tho committee on rules. The first was: Resolved, That Subdivision 2 of Rule 5 of the standing rules of the Senate be, and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: 'If at any time during the daily sessions of the Senate a question shall be raised by any Senator a3 to the presence of a quorum the presiding officer shall forthwith direct the Secretary to call the roll, and shall announce the result, and the proceedings shall without debate; but no Benator while speaking shall be interrupted by any other Senator raising the question Of the lack of a quorum, and the question as to the presence of a quorum shall not be raised oftener than once in every hour, but this provision shall not apply when the absence of a quorum i disclosed upon any roll call of the yeas and The second amendment was as follows: "Resolved. That Rule of the standing rules of the Senate be, and the same i3 hereby amended by at the end thereof the following: 'Whenever, upon any roll cn.ll. any Senator who is present within the Senate chamber refuses to make responses vrhen his name shall bo called it shall be tho duty of the presiding officer, eiiher on his own motion or upon the suggestion of any Senator, to request the Senator so re-" maining silent to resjvmd to his name, and If such Senator fails to do so.

Mr. Hoar presented a memorial from Mi3S Clara Rarton, president of the American Red Cross Association, asking the assistance of Congress for the relief of tho sufferers from the Imrricane at the sea islands and on the coa3t of South Carolina and Georgia.

Mr. Turpie created somewhat of a stir by objecting very forcibly to the reading of the resolution. He was apparently actuated by a feeling of retaliation, for he' stated that he objected because, when he introduced a resolution yesterday, its consideration was objected to by the Senator from Massachusetts. He declared that he wished to maintain the parity of senatorial courtesy. Mr.

Hoar replied that he had good reasons for the objections he made yesterday, but It was not necessary to go into that. He would do any thing, he said, short of going down on his knees to the Senator from Indiana, or anything unworthy of hi3 manhood. It was not a personal memorial which he introduced, or one affecting his constituents, but affecting 00,000 people who were In a helpless and starving condition. Mr. Turpie was obdurate, however, and refused to withdraw his objection, but Mr.

Cockrell suggested that the resolution had the right to be heard once In spite of objections. Mr. Butler rose and spoke feelingly of the condition of affairs in South Carolina, which State he represented. Miss Barton had gone to South Carolina at his invitation and the invitation of the Governor of the State, and they together had made a tour of the devastated district, and the distress and suffering were even greater than reported. Mr.

Turpie stated that he would withdraw his objection to the reading of the memorial out of deference to the Senator from South Carolina. The resolution was then read. Mr. Hoar gave notice that he would call it up to-morrow, and at 1:20 the real business of the day began, when Mr. Gray brought up the Chinese bill and spoke in favor of the extension of the time In which Its provisions should go into effect.

He said there were many Chinese in the prisons of California who were held there because there was not money enough available to deport them, and because the provisions of the act did not allow of their liberation on bail. At r. m. the Clerk of the House of representatives appeared at the bar of the S.nate and presented the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act and announced the concurrence of the House In the- Senate amendments to the same. A few minutes later the Vice President announced his signature to the bill.

Consideration of the Chinese exclusion act was resumed and Mr. Squire offered an amendment appropriating for the enforcement during the present fiscal year of the several acts regulating and prohibiting Chinese Immigration and addressed the Senate in advocacy of it. Mr. Gray attempted to secure unanimous consent that a vote on the pending bill be taken at 4 o'clock, to-morrow evening, saying the hope had been expressed on the Democratic side that there could be an adjournment of Congress day after to-morrow. Mr.

Hoar objected. The Senate then, on motion of Mr. Gray, went into executive session, after which it adjourned. ANOTHER CANDIDATE. J.

Lamb sent an important telegram to Joshua Jump, at Terre Haute, to-day. respecting the appointment of a collector of internal revenue for that district. There i3 considerable anxiety r.mong the friends of Representative Brookshlre as to the contents of the message. Senator Voorhees's followers believe the message informed Jump that he would be appointed collector this week. Mr.

Urookshlre's followers contend that it either indicated doubt as to whether the appointment would to to Terre Haute or or informed Jump that his appointment would not be made until after the adjournment of Congress. Preliminary pnpers for the appointment of a pension examining loard at Kendall- ville were to-day sent to Drs. John Dancer, George Teal and William Veazy, of that city. If the responses are satisfactory and th physicians named come up to the requirements, their appointments will be made next week. NOMINATIONS.

Ruck Creek, a small place In this county, seven miles from Lafayette, was the scene of an exciting occurrence this forenoon, and that there were not three jobs for the coroner was not the fault of Edward Cool, a farm hand, aged twenty-three. For some time Cool ha3 made his home with Luke Lowe. About a month ago the men hail trouble and Lowe whipped Cool, but the differences were patched up, and Cool continued to live at the Lowe home. Tuesday Cool began to drink again, and this morning procured a revolver. Lowe tried to get the revolver from him, but he refused to give it up.

While standing by the door talking with Lowe and his wife Cool suddenly pulled his weapon, and with a remark, "I'll kill you," fired. The bullet passed through tho sleeve of Mrs. Lowe's dress, the powder burning her clothes and hand. The ball lodged in the left side of Lowe, Just below the heart. It struck a rib, which detlected it, and saved hi3 life.

Cool trie to shoot a second time, but Lowe slammed the door shut. Cool then started on a run to the saloon of Obediah Haller, and, bounding Into the room, shouted, "You have been slurring me, and I'll kill you." He then began firing. Cool's father tried to intercept him, but failed. Haller was sitting down when Cool rushed in, and stood up as the weapon was discharged. The bullet struck Haller in the right hip.

Haller sprang at Cool and grabbed him by the throat. Although having but one hand he clung to the would-be murderer and compelled him to go to the office of the justice. Here, while they were waiting to open the office. Cool suddenly drew his pocket knife, and, before he could be stopped, cut two ugly gashes In his own throat, and tried to carve another. The blood spurted over the floor and on the bystanders.

Doctors removed the bullets from Lowe and Haller, but Cool refused to have his neck dressed until he came hero, where a physician sowed up the rents in his neck, eight stitches being, needed. Cool tried to tear the wounds open with his hands, but was prevented. Lowe and his wife say that wnen drinking Cool becomes insane, and that he was in this condition for two days. He onc3 before tried to shoot himself, but was prevented by Mrs. Lowe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. -Those who have canvassed murderer Stone's three statements In connection with the murder of the Wratten family are almost universally of the opinion that his second statement was the truth, and that he murdered the family without assistance. The grand jury reconsidered its action on Mc-Cafferty and Swanagan, whom Stone last implicated, and the men are still at liberty. Strong circumstances cornect them with the murder, as is true with Williams, Cosby and Kays, but it Is claimed by friends of each that they can easily explain away this circumstantial evidence.

Mrs. Stone was taken to prison to-day, in the hope that she will be able to Induce her husband to quit his lying and give the officers the benefit of all he knows. Lawyers for Cosby and Williams made a demand on the CDurt for their dismissal, on the grounds that the State had abandoned the theory that they are guilty. The State denies this, and the motion was taken under advisement. Tha grand jury has now examined over five hundred witnesses and will make up its report Friday and adjourn.

BOSTON, Nov.

1. Five thousand people struggled and fought to get into Boston's old historic Music Hall to-night: Then they fought to buy tickets for Jack McAuliffe's benefit, and they fought for their seats In the hall.

Hl3 work was much admired by the crowd, and he won many backers for nis comins fight with Wilcutt. McAuliffe and Tracy sparred for three rounds, and Jack was obliged to hustle in the last one.

Tracy drove him all over the stage and was loudly cheered. Tim McCoy, a wiry Westerner, was introduced as the light-weight champion of Ohio. He had a set-to with Tim McCarry, of New York. The contest was, for the most part, a hugging match, but a few good blows were got in by the Ohloan which could be heard all over the hall. Captain Daly then called out the lion of the evening, Charles Mitchell.

Mitchell came out bared to his waist and the crawd cheered. He could not resist the opportunity to make a speech, so he silenced the audience with a sweep of his massive hand. He said proposed to fight Corbett. His money was up and he was not going to leave until ho fought. He said he was In prime condition and spoiling for a fight.

He came here to fight and he proposed to stay right here until he made Corbett agree to a li-rht. Hall was too sick to box with Mitchell.

Ho says he is not afraid or Corbett in the ring or out of it. "The idea," said Mitchell, "of Corbett saying I left New York because I was afraid to meet him. All he has to do Is to send me word privately and I will go alone to any place where he says he will be. I do not believe he thinks any less about my face than I do, and if he starts to carry out hin threat of punching me on sight be will find me right in the same game with him." $3.50 CIIICACIO AM) IIETIRX $3.50 Via 1'eniiMylvania Line.
