'wife through the head, killing her in-
stantly. He then shot his mother-in-law
through the head also killing her in-
stantly. _
Lacey’s two little children witnessed the
shooting. ‘ '
Lacey then walked out of the house and
shot himself through the head, dying at

Probably Through Mistake.
FAR ROCKAWAY, N. Y. , Oct. 23,—David
Bolton, an oysterman of Inwood, while re-
turning home from church last night was
shot at five times. One of the shots took
effect in his leg. _
, An officer who was near distin-
guished the form of a man who was start-
ing to run. After a lively chase of half
a mile the officer overtook the man, who
gave his name as Angelo Cappalo, an
Italian laborer.
Bolton says he can’t imagine what the
Italian shot him for. The Italian refuses
to say why he tried to kill Bolton. It is
thought that Cappalo belongs to the Mafia
order and mistook Bolton for some one.
else.
About 25 Italians got CE 9. trainfirom
New York at Lawrence right after the
shooting took place. The jail is being
carefully guarded lest they should make
an attempt to break it open and release

Promise of a Break in the
Senate Deadlock.
Compromise lVIcasurc to Be Offered
at Once and Cloture Resort-ed to
if Necessary—The House Looking
to a Recess or Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.——This week will
' open in Congress with better promise of a.
break of the deadlock in the senate than
has been evident in many days. It is the
intention of the managers of the compro-
mise movement to place their proposition
before that body at the earliest possible mo-
ment, probably to-day or to-morrow. Then
it will be a question of ways and means to
secure action upon it, for strong opposi-
tion is expected from the populist sena-
tors, and there is no means of knowing
what measure of support can be expected
from the republicans.
May Resort to Cloture.
If necessary, however, there may be a
resortto cloture.
Such a proposition would be much
stronger when endorsed by a majority of
democratic senators than when it was
broached before, and there is no reason 'to
suppose that the vice—president would not,
in such case, take the necessary steps to
bring the question to a vote.
The Voorhees amendment to the rules
would, in this event, be the means of clos-
ing the debate, and as this has already oc-
cupied more than the 30 days specified in
the new rules, the adoption of the Voor-
hoes rule would result in a vote upon the
bill and amendments very speedily.
Hill Hopeful for His Petition.
Even if the compromise movement should
fail again, it is understood that the cloture
rule will be pressed, probably beginning
to-morrow, and it is fully expected by
Senator Hill that the few conservative
democrats in favor of repeal, who so far
have declined to sign his petition to the
vice-president, in the hope that by an
agreement on a compomise the necessity
for cloture would be removed, will then
fall into line and sign the petition.
House Looking to Adjournment.
The development of the programme in
the house this week will depend upon the
course of events in the senate. If the
latter body should speedily adopt the silver
compromise now imminent, or make any
other disposition of the pending question,
it is the belief of Speaker Crisp and other
membcb's of the committee on rules, which
is the managing force of the house, that a
recess for two or three weeks, or possibly
even final adjournment of the extraordi-
nary session, would follow in a day or two. -
The announcement, therefore, that an
early settlement of the silver question in
the senate was probable, has brought on a
season of waiting. In the meantime, how-
ever, the bill to establish a. uniform system
of bankruptcy, reported by the committee
on the judiciary, is on the calendar for con-
sideration to—day with no limit of time to
the order, that will enable the house in
case the opportunity presents itself, to con-
sider a proposition for a recess or adjourn-
ment, either to act quickly on the bank-
ruptcy bill and get it out of the way, or to
postpone present definite action and take
it up again when congress shall reas-
semble. .
Work Before the House.
In case congress continues in session
through the week, beside the bankruptcy
bill there are several measures on the cal-
endar which are likely to be called up for
action or consideration in the, morning
hour. Prominent among them are the
bills authorizing a settlement of the ac-
counts of Florida with the United State; .
directing the appointment of a. commission
to revise the personnel of the navy; to
amend the interstate commerce act; to sub-
mit the famous McGarrahan claim to the
court of private land claims.
The bill to regulate the public printing
and distribution of documents will be the
first business after reading the journal to-
day, the 'house having adjourned on Sat-
urday, pending a vote on its passage, the
roll call disclosing no quorum. ..-

How the. Cleve] ands Enjoy Themselves
With the Babies.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—President and
Mrs. Cleveland are living more quietly
now than has ever before been possible for '
them in this city. Outside of working
hours, the white house sees very little of the
president. Mrs. Cleveland still kéeps to
her custom of either driving in town with
him every morning or coming for him in
the afternoon, when they extend their
drive around the country, now so glorious
in its autumn dress. Those who have
seen Mrs. Cleveland lately say that she
never looked as handsome. Mrs. Perrine,
who went to Chicago with Postmaster-
.General and Mrs. Bissell, returned also
with them, and is staying at Woodley.
The ladies are at home to their friends
pretty much the same as at the white house,
but very naturally no other persons would
call at the country residence without a
special invitation. It is quite probable
that President and Mrs. Cleveland will re-
main in the country for another month at
least, and in fact the house will be kept in
readiness for them‘ at any time during the
winter. Mrs. Cleveland is just as devoted
. to the quiet of the country as the presi-
dent, and as she is fond of walking about
the woods, she can have all the out-door
exercise she wants in company with the
babies, a pleasure not to be thought of by '
her in the streets of the city.
BISBEE \VINS HIS CASE.
Suit Involving a United" States
Marshal‘s Fees. '
PORTLAND, Me, Oct. 28.——-A case which
has attracted wide attention has been de-
cided in the United States court by Judge
Webb. When United States Marshal
George D. Bisbee went 01ft of ofiice some
years ago, there was a dispute with the
government about fees. Bisbee held about
$1,300 belonging to the government,
which he did not turn over, claiming that
the govern ment owed him $1,500 for fees
which had been disallowed in \Vas‘nington.
After trying to induce Bisbee to turn over
the amount, the officials in Washington
ordered legal proceedings against Bisbee.
They sued his official bond and attached
his real estate to the value of $25,000. The
case has been pending since April. 1891.
Judge Webb gave a decision for the de-
fendant, findiugthat the government owed
Bisbee more than he owed it.
FOR A CHEAP CABLE.

LONDON, Oct. 23.—The Times contains
a dispatch from Sydney, Australia, stating
that Sanford Fleming, who recently left
Canada, is visiting the Australian colonies,
with the view of submitting plans of four
possible routes for the proposed Pacific
cable from Australia to Canada. He
proposed that the cable shall be owned by
the governments interested. He estimates
the cost of working the line at £60,000
annually and considers that the rate might
be lowered to two shillings per word.

POSITION on. ADMINISTRATION.
Favor Unconditional 'Bepeal of the
Silver Law and Not Compromise.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23,—A prominent.

night gave out the following authoritative
statement of Mr. Cleveland’s views as to
the compromise measure which, it is ex— _
pected, will soon be brought before the '
senate:
“The president adheres to the position
that the purChasing clause of the Sherman

FIIED FROIVI CHOLERA.
Leghorn, Italy, in a Demorallzed
Condition Owing to the Pest.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. iSnnitary In-
spector Rosse makes the following report
to the Marine hos’pital bureau from Leg-
horn, Italy, under date of Sep. 30:
“I arrived here yesterday afternoon to
find the town with a deserted look and a
general panic among the inhabitants,
many of whom had fled to other places.
“As many as 30,000, I am informed,
have lately left and business is generally
prostrated. '
“All the hotels are closed, but at the re-
,quest of the consul one of them allowa me
to occupy a room. The watchman. and I
seem to be the sole occupants.
“Mortality from cholera so far is about
65 per cent. and the female deaths have
more than doubled those of men.
“Notwithstanding the prevalence of
cholera. the Italian 'authorites give clean
bills of health, and it is said that a dispo
sition exists on the part of the populace
to conceal cases for the reason that the
sanitary authorities destroy furniture in
making necessary disinfection and make
no adequate return therefore.”

Spaniards Gain a Decided Victory
at Melilla.
MADRID, Oct‘. 23.—The latest advices
from Melilla, show that the Spanish troops
gained a decided victory over the Moors on .
Saturday. After repeated warning to
cease resistance, the Spaniards opened a
cannonade on the Moors from forts Camel-
los and San Lorenzo, the nearest to the
Kabyle trenches, and from the cruiser Ven-
adito anchored at the mouth of the Ouro
river.
As soon as the Arabs saw the cruiser ap-
proach a large body dashed to the shore
and began firing at her with rifles, but
their shots fell wide of the mark.
The Venudito came to anchor at an ad-
vantageous position and bombarded the
Arabs with shot and shell, to which the
natives replied with a harmless fulllade.
The Venadito’s Hotckiss guns Wrought
havoc in the Arab trenches. Besides 3i
shells Were thrown among them, which
must have done serious execution.

BI’IVIAHON’S FUNERAL.
The German Kaiser Sends a Hand-
some Floral Offering.
PARIS, Oct. 23 —Preparations for the
national funeral of Field Marshal MacMao
hon were evident early yesterday morning
all the way from the church of the Made-
leine to the Hotel des Invalides. Troops
Were taking position along the Rue Royals
when the spectators began to gather at 5
o’clotk.
The body was brought-at 9 o’clock from
the vault of the church to the outside gal-
lery beneath the peristylo and was placed
on the catafalque draped with the tri- color.
Black cloth Spangled with silver hung"
from the ceiling and the gallery was hid-
den in mourning drapery.
The centers of the decorations was a
gigantic silver “M” flanked with the figures
1808-1893, the dates of MacMahon’s birth
and death.
Every pillar was half-concealed by a
black, silver-edged banner, on which were
enumerated in silver letters the battles
won by him. .
The coffin was covered with velvet. On
the sides were the embroidered arms of
the dead man. On the lid lay his field
marshal’s uniform.
The mourners arrived slowly. The army
officers took their places at the right of
the bier and the civilians at the left, the
gay colors of the uniforms contrasting
strangely with the black coats and mourn-
ing hangings. Outside a great crowd
watched and waited in silence while far
down the street stretched the motionless
double lines of infantry. The hearse was
drawn by six horses. On each side were
the carriages filled with wreaths.
While'the' crowd was watching the
hearse intently a carriage was driven. up
hastily and Count Muenster, German am-
bassador, his head uncovered, stepped
out. . ».
There was an uneasy shifting of the
crowd, a low murmur ran along the lines
nearest the church. Muenster made a
sign to a footman and a landau carrying
Emperor \Villlam’s wreath was driven to
the curb. The wreath was of natural vio-
lets, tearoses and carnations, among which
hung a large sillcr “W. ”
The dropping of a pin could have been
heard in the Place de la Maceleiue as the
Germans mounted the .steps and walked
into the church, saluting as they passed
the coffin. ‘ - ' .
They Were hardly gone when Gen. LOI-
zillon, minister of war, Admiral Avelan
and Premier Dupuy arrived, closely fol-
lowed by the field marshal’s two sons.
There was no ceremony at the church.
The coffin was placed in the hearse, Gen. _
Saussier, commander of. the troops in
Paris, waved his sword and the cavalcade ,
began at 11:15 o’clock to ' move slowly
