P WASIIISOTOX , Oct. M. The cabinet , after
n complete discussion of all the phases of
IP the senate situation , has agreed to a compromise
I
? promise proposition to bo offered by one ot
the repeal senators. It Includes , as did the
Harris nnirndincnt , provision for the coin-
ngo of ' .he silver seigniorage In the treasury
amounting to tKI.OOO.OOO , nnd thereafter the
purchase of : iOtXX ) ( ) < ) ounces of silver a
month until iKi.OOa.OOi ) ounces have been pur
chased. This will carry the purchase
of silver over the expiration of Mr.
Cleveland's term , a condition the sil
ver men insist upon , and relieve
the treasury during the coinage of seiginor-
age , eighteen months , of any further pur
chase of bullion , besides maklnir the bullion
BO coined an available treasury asset.
To meet the demands of the east ,
n proposition for the issue of
JlOO.OOO.OOOofllpcr cent bonds la included.
There U still a question whether a provision
for the repeal of the tax on state banks and
the redemption of notes of all classes below
t.-i shall bo added. This is the ndministra-
lion's compromise proposition.
For some days past a scries of conferences
have been held in the room of the senate
committee on appropriations. Senator Cock-
roll , the chairman of tlio committee , rapidly
caino to the front ns the moving spirit 1-1 se
curing a compromise , nnd ho had the active
co-ops-ration of Messrs. Gorman , Vest ami
Faulkner. Their object was to find means
of sottlinir the question so as to preserve
the autonomy of the democratic party. They
bad before them all the amendments offered
nnd endeavored to fix up n patchwork which
would have some of the features ot all the
amendments , with possibly some of tlmso in 1
the present law. All that has Dcen done has
bocn done by the democratic senators. It
seems probable tlio measure will encounter
the opposition of the republicans.
Strain lloulni to Mici'T.
Considering that the members of the scn
ate did not find their boas until 12 o'clock
last night , there was a liberal attendance
when the vice president rapped for order to
day. The strain -is heginntnit to show It
self on the senators as individuals , and they
ore looking forward qulto anxiously to Sun
day , which they are led by Senator Voorliees
to hope will provo a day of rest. Ho has
iniido no public announcement In the senate
of his intentions about further continuous
sessions. Privately and to the newspaper
reporters ho says that ho will probably not
ask the snnato to sit tonight , but will about
0 o'cloclt move an adjournment until Monday.
Senator Morgan took the Hoer during thu
morning hour to make a personal explanation
in reply.to 'some Alabama newspaper
criticism , nnd delivered a facetious speech ,
which had the effect of starting the senate
off In good humor with itself and the world.
Unit of DiilinU' Trlnki.
The tnnglo which the semite finally found
Itself In last night , and which resulted hi
the adjournment of that body , was the out
come of u clover plot originated by Senator
Dubois nnd executed through the help of
Senator Teller. The silver men know that
on a roll call , where pairs would have to bo
recognized , that the repeal members would
not be able to obtain a quorum , though on a
call of the senate in which pairs can be
counted n quorum was present. Thodlftl-
I11
unity then became to obtain n roll
11o
call. Senator Teller examined the
rules and discovered what proved to ;
bo ii successful iminnor of bringing
about thu desired end. It isa rule of the
senate that , except by unanimous consent t ,
publicilocuinnnlB cannot bo read in that
body if they have been previously published.
Mr. Teller , during u call for a quorum , ex
plained his views to Mr. i'offer , who was
speaking , and a few uimutes later Mr.
I'offer , from the muss of manuscript in front
of him , ivbiirrouted a public 'document nnd
began to read It with great delllierntloii.
Immediately Mr. Teller was on his feet and
objrcti'd to the reading. A'ftcr some debate
the chairman gave h Is decision , from which
an m > p < Ml was taken and a roll cull ordered.
This was what the silver men were looking
for , nnd on the call It was found that no
quorum was present , 10d
It wns then that tno repeal inon stepped
Into it not her trap. Mr. Vilas tried to force
Mr , Duhois to vote , iind a long debate en-
mind , An effort was made to take a vote
that thu senate should not oxeuso Mr. Du
bois from voting , and , on this roll cull , an-
othur lack of n quorum was developed and
an adjournment became necessary. Tlio
pending question is whether Mr. Dubois '
must vote , nnd it Is thu 'intention of Mr.
Yllus to have Mr. Dubois censured. This , lr.it
isslntcd , will brine up a- nice constitutional
question , which will develop u debate which
llio silver men claim will last a mouth ut
least.

WisutsoTOX , Oct. U. The session of the
senate today lasted only six hours. It was a
session of much interest. It opened with a
personal explanation from Senator Morgan ,
democrat , of Alabama In ri'jrnrd to recent
newspaper restrictions upon him for Ills sup-
poseu hostility to the unconditional repeal
of theShcrm.in act. Mu denied having over
Intimated that , ho would vote ag.iinst uncon
ditional repeal , hut said that ho would
vote against unconditional repeal as proposed
in the Voorhees substitute , which ho char
acterized as "very ridiculous , very injurious
and very cowardly. "
Various important amendments to the
rules wcro offered and went over till Mon-
day. Thuynru :
By Mr. I/jdfioof .Mrmaehusett-i : It shall
not he in order for : i senator to read a
succch , , olther written or printed ; also when
tlio senate refuses to excuse a senator from
voting , iind he still declines to vote , he shall
bo , counted as present for the purpose of
: n quorum.
lly Mi1. Stewart of Nevada : That no sen- .
ator interested In any national hank shall
vote upon any question affecting the coinage
or issue ofcurroncy by the government , or
through the instrumentality of national
banks.
By Mr. Gallinscri.Whon a majority of the
senate submits u request in writing through
the chair lhatdobalu eloso on a bill or report ,
.from a committee such papers shall bo re
ferred to the committee on rules , whosoduty
it shall Do , within five day.s , to report an
order naming u day and hour when a vote
shall be taken iind action upon such reports
be had without amendment ,
On a resolution offered by Mr. Djlph of
Oregon , referring to the committee on priv
ileges and elections the question whether
ubsi'ut senators may be compelled to attend ,
was taken up and agreed to.
Molu Tlmo u Quorum I'roicut.
The silver purchase ropeiv ! bill was taken
up and it was asccrtrined In preliminary
roll calls that there wcro seventy-two sena
tors present , or only thirteen les than the
whole number. It was porhnps that fact
which stimulated Mr. Voorhees to declare
ut the close of the day's session , after a ro-
ninrlmblo speech against the bill by Jones of
Nevada , that in the langirigo of Paul Jones
the friends of the bill "had only begun the
light. ; '
Preliminary to the oponlng of the session
the silver senators had the' chamber to
themselves exclusively Morgan had re
gained possession of his own desk , which
had been for two itays past usurped by Stew
art. It was noticeable that Morgan was atone
ono tlmo In earnest conversation with Kyle
nnd Allen , who had come to consult him on '
some subject , at another time with Dubois
und Teller , and still later with PelTcr.
During the t'tno ' occupied by tha reaiting <
of the journal the senate on both sides of tlio
chamber was weiiet-ally filled up , although
twelve senators only listened to the chap-
Iain's iprayi-r.
A resolution was ofTorcd by Dolph refer
ring to the committee on privileges and
elections the question whether absent sena-
tors may be compelled to attend '
, was pre
sented and agreed to.
Again To ik IIi | tlio Itopenl lltll.
Tlio silver purchase repeal bill was taken
up at lL'ir : > and the vice president set about
disentangling the parliamentary t\vst ! into
which the senate had got Itself last night
over the question whether Dubois should bo |
excused from voting on the question of al
lowing PelTcr to haven document read ilu t
tlioclorlc'i duslr , By u vote of ' "J to U7 the
sonatn refused to excuse Dubois.
The name of the Idaho senator was then
calle.1. Dubois remained in his seat silent.
Then there was a roll cull , and , because of ' a
like stage of proceedings last night , no
quorum had voted , and ono loss than sev '
enty-two responded twenty-nine more than
a quorum , and by far the largest that has
appeared on roll calls during the session.
Then , af tor some more preliminary pitfalls ,
from which the vice president extricated
the senate , the repeal bill was taken up.
Mr. I'off or J ielded the floor to Mr. Jones of
Nevada and bo addressed thescnnto against
the hill. Mr. Jones said It was denied that
the hill was a proposition to place the United
States on u gold standard , whereas the very :
vehemence of the uanial was In itself sus
picious.
Then , the effort of the demonetization of
silver , uslii'd Mr. White ot Louisiana would
bo to luiTcaiii the rate of the interest the
people would have to pay !
"Not a particle of doubt about It , " replied
Jones.I have paid 8 and .S cents , and ledI
could pay it bettor than 2. ' $ cents now. "
Senator Jones characterized the attempt to
establish a gold standard as a crime atrainst
mankind nnJ treason to the bust Interests of
tlio country.
By the paesuga of this bill you go abso
lutely to the pout standard , nnd rather than
have n gold standard nt the expense of jus
tice , give mo a standard of justice ut the ex
pense of gold.
Juno * At-oorileil Close Attention ,
Jones began hit speech shortly bo fore 1
o'clock. Tor the first two hours ho conllned
himself closely to his typowiitton speech ,
which ho had lying on thu desk before him ,
ami which lit * took up page by page and read
very rapidly. His manner in pre
senting facts and his high reputa
tion for u thorough knoulaazo of thu
subject which ho was discussing obtained
for him n degree of attention that had not
bocn afforded to any other speaker since
Yoorhccs made his opening argument for
the bill. There were between sixty
seventy senators , about equally divided bo-

But the tide , It was the highest known
even in the memory of the most annotated
resident , being sixteen Inches above the
high water mark registered and recorded in
1853 , which had surpassed nil known previous
records so far as known. On the river the
scene was almost terrible In Its grandeur-
The waves dashed against the wharves and
sides of the vessels with tremendous force ,
sending clouds of spray high into the
air. The tide came in with mighty
force and with swiftness , covering the low
lands opposite the city and stretching In an
unbroken sea across the rlco fielus ns far ns
the eye could reach. Thu troubled stream
as It swept by the city bore on its broad
bosom an immense quantity of wreckage ,
broken i , gangways , trunks of trees , drifting
boats and thousands of feet of timber washed
from the timber pens at the sawmills. There
was little shipping in port and nearly nil
rode , through the gale in safety.

The high water did considerable damage
on the water front. All the wharves are
under water , and the floods swnpt through
the lower floors of the warehouses. The
city wharves nt the foot of Water street
were washed uway and the wharf on the
north side of the dock wax lanucd bodily on
Water street. The wharves at , the foot of
Princess and Chestnut streets were also
badly damaged , nnd It will cost the city
a considerable sum to rebuild them
The tide swept over Water street
at many places and the flood wns deep
enough from Chestnut and Mulberry streets
for rowboats to go to und fro. The Capo
Fear & Yailkln railroad wharf was covered
anil some damage resulted to goods belong
ing to merchants. The Wilmington com
press warehouse wns also flooded , water
s'tnnding from six to eight inches en the
floor. There wcro about y.OUO bales of cotton
in the warehouse , nil of which is damaged to
some extent by wutcr.
At the Champion Compress ware'uuso the
damage was comparatively slight , only it few
bales of cotton being in tho. water. Tolc-
phone , telegraph and electric light wires are
all in a tangle and the superintendents of each
of the linesaro , out with largo forces of linemen -
men trying to straighten out matters nnd
'trying to get wires in working order. One
of the small spires of the First Presbyterian
church was blown down about I ) o'clock.
Many people were passing when it fell and
Isomo barely escaped Injury.
At Soiilhpurt.
At Sotithport the storm was much more
severe than hero. The custom house build-
ing and nearly all the wharves were washed
away. Many residences , warehouses and
other buildings were badly damaged. The
brick foundation of the Oak Island light
house was undermined and the house settled :
down in the sand.
At Ocean View nil the largo pavilions and
many cottages were cither swept away > idr
more or less damaged. The loss there will
jirobably roach 410,000. No serious disasters
to shipping have yet boon reported , but it is
feared sad stories will bo received tomor
row. The only loss of lifo yet known was
reported from Sampson , where a tree fell
on a house of a farmer named I/uio and
crushed two of his children to death.
The loss In this immediate section will
probably reach $1.10,000 ,

Unprecedented ns the situation Is-J.OOO
men on the Union Pacllle will tool on Monday
that the appointment of receivers for the
vast system which oxtpims south and west
ward from Omaha , covering some 10,000
miles of territory , Is an unmixed blessing ,
by reason of nn order issued late yesterday
by General Manager Dickinson increasing
the hours of work for all shopmen thirteen
hours per week.
In the history of modern railroading thl
Is a now departure on the
part of receivers ,
andgoes to prove what TUB Hun has often
s.iid in these columns that Mr. S. 11. Ifc
Clark und Mr. Oliver
Ccl W. Mink wore too
closely associated with tlio " tot-in nnd
. stress of liftf' to deliberately
forgot the men
who made the system what It is today , a
connecting link kntwoon the erfoto east find
thn progressive west , which is rapidly push.
Ing for ilrst place in the sisterhood of state * .
For nearly tweiity-iivo years the Union
Pacific has stooa for the pioneer idea of clv
ilization , ami in that time has felt the influ
ences of contraction and
expansion ns repro
seiitod in the monetary conditions of the
country. It lias had Its tips nnd downs such ,
as few roads have experienced , the final act
in the drama having been miched Friday ,
when the road passed out of the lauds of
the board of directors into tlio management
of Messrs. S. Jl. II. Clark , Oliver W. Mink
and K. Kllery Anderson , receiver appointed ,
by thu federal court.

Uut the men working
thirty-tlvo hour *
n week in the shops throughout the ays-
tern , acquiescing In the several reductions
made during the
summer without great
protest , had defenders at court , and possl-
bly ns recompense for their devotion to
the road in its hour of extremes ! peril ,
wcro granted an increase to forty-eight
hours per iveok , effective Monday morn Ins.
During the early summer , when the road
showed largo increase in earnings , the wort ,
men in the shops were laboring nine hours a
day , six days a week , but the first approach
of the financial '
crisis
brought about'in
, consequence -
sequence of n decrease In earnings , eight
hours a day. Iut ! the reduction In hour *
was hardly ii "drop in the bucket , " tlio do-
.creased earnings necessitating another cut ,
which came in July , reducing the shopmen ,
to seven hours a day , flvo day * n week.
Appreciating the stress of the system , th
men accepted the reduction philosophically ,
and for two months have worked five days a
week. Then came the appointment of ro.
celvors , which In the Tory mituro
of things banished nil hope ot an
increase for the present at least , hut
n surprise was in store , which cnmo late
yesterday when General Manager Dickinson
handed the order to Superintendent of Mo
tive Power J , U. McComioli increasing tha
working hours as above noted.
A representative of Tun DEE , talking to
Mr. Dickinson last
evening about the unex
pected order , was told by the genial general
manager that the men deserved the mcrcasa
because of falthfu'noss and the necessity of
preparing the road and equipment for win.
tor.
Il lp Onmliu Wonderfully ,
"Tho Increase will affect at least 11 ft oca
hundred men In the Omaha hop , " said Mr.
Dickinson "and about ,
, four thousand men
over the entire system. It will incruaso our
pay roll 75,000 per month. The action wni
taken after a conference of the receivers ,
and the order was given Mr. MoConnell late >
yesterday afternoon. "
_ "Will the palm-las of olork and officials
cut b.V the order of August 20 bo restored ? "
at ked the reporter.
"Tho wage question has not been discussed
at nil , " replied the oponitlne .head of the
Union Pacific , "nor will It , piobably , for
some time to to mo. The men In the shops ,
that U machinists and all other experts so
called , have a srhodulo of wagei b.ist'tl en
ten-hour day , Ui cents per hour. Should the
day he reduced to eight hours the wages of
course woulu bo eight times ! W cent's , for
seven hours the same. The Increase for
each man per week under the newordur will
bo f 1.10 , for all men coming under the ex-
port clause. "
AliuiuViin | .iclirdulei.
Thou the talk drifted to the cousldcratioa
of the status of the schedules and agree-
mcuts between the different branches of
labor , when Mr. Dickinson said : "All
schedules have been nurogated by reason ot
the court's intervention. Things will go on
the bamu us heretofore without the binding ?
effect of schedules or uurooinonts. "
"What was the result of your Interview
