Mr. Voorhees then moved that the sub
stitute reported b.v the linanee rommit
tee for the House hill i:e adopted, and
asked unanin.oas consent that after its
adoption it might be treated as an open

PERKINS' AMENDMENT.
Mr. Perkins, of California, then offered i
the amendincut of which he had given
notice on October U. It provides for the |
coinape of American silver at the exist- ,
ing ratio, with a scinorage < harpe of 20
per cent. No pold pieces of less denomi
nation than fill are to be coined and no
lepal tender, national currency or treasury
notes of less denomination than #5. are to
be issued. Tin- holder of any standard
silver dollars may and ‘posit the same with
the treasurer or any assistant treasurer
in the United States in any sum and receive
therefor notes of denominations less than
fit) only, which notes shall have the same
lepal tender quality as the coin for which
they are exchanged There is to be ap
pointed a commission of live monetary
experts, the members whereof shall not
be otherwise connected with the govern
ment, whose duty it shall bo to keep eon
press and the executive advised on all
necessary matters relating to the cur
rency.
Mr. Perkins explained his amendment,
and said now that the slack water of the
debate had come the amendments could
be discussed and considered dispassion
ately.
Mr. Stewart called attention to the
change upon the part of Mr. Voorhees
with Messrs. Gordon, Hanson, Hill, Mills,
Turpie aud Squire on the silver question,
who, last spring, voted for free coinage,
and now, on Mr. Peffer's amendment,
voted against it.
ALLEN DEPLORES THE BACKDOWN.
Mr. Allen, pop., of Nebraska, ex
pressed regret at what might be called
“a backdown'’ to some extent, upon the
part of the advocates of silver.
Mr. Teller, while not favoring hereto
fore a proposition to coin only silver of
American production, as that savored of
class legislation, said he would vote for
the Perkins amendment as it
was better than the proposed act.
He went on to speak with great
bitterness of the desertion of the cause of
silver by republican senators. He said
the present controversy ought to have
been settled b.v a concession to She
advocates of silver. "Mr. President, 1
am not a pessimist: I have never been; I
am an optimist. 1 have never seen disas
ter and distress growing out of |iolieies
simply because they did not meet m.v ap
provat. I have had faith in the American
people.”
TEARS IN TELLER’S EYES.
Hero Mr. Teller’s voice choked and
tears came to his eyes. He spoke most
impressively and was accorded the undi
vided attention of every senator and the
large audience in the galleries. “1 have
faith in men. I can see the silver lining
inn cloud as quickly as any man living.
There never is a storm so dark that. I can
not see the coining light on the mountain
top, but I cannot contemplate this condi
tion of things without absolute terror. It
strikes me to the very soul and I want to
inter this as a warning to the American
people that if they do not resist they will
enter upon a system of Industrial slavery
ihat will be the worst known to the
human race.” Mr. Voorhees desired to
secure a vote on the Perkins amendment,
but as Mr. Wolcott expressed a wish to
submit some remarks, he moved that the
Senate take a recess until 11 o’clock to
morrow morning. The motion at 5:40
o'clock was agreed to.
OPENING OF THE VOTING.
Speech-making to Continue Within
Due Limits.
Washington, Oct. 27.—'The beginning of
the voting upon the amendments to the
repeal bill which took place in the Senate
this afternoon does not necessarily bring
the end any nearer, because the voting
was begun upon an understanding that
speech-making should be allowed to con
tinue within due limits. No senator was
prepared to take the floor when Mr. Jones
expressed a desire to discontinue his
speech until to-morrow, and Mr. Voor
hees by previous arrangement moved to
take up the pending amendment.
Mr. Faulkner, the repeal whip, had
previously seen the senators who had ex
pressed a desire to speak and assured
them that the new order should not cut
them out. He thinks that all future
speeches, except Mr. Jones', will be brief
and is hopeful ofireaching the final vote
soon. Mr. Jones will require about two
hours in which to conclude.

SMITH ON THE WAR PATH.
The Atlanta Journal People to Be
Given Fits in a Card
Atlanta, Ga.. Get. 27.—Representative
Smith, of Gwinnett, will not down. He
is the sort of man that is bound to cut a
conspicuous figure everywhere he goes in
some way or another. Ho did not put in
his appearance at the House to-day, and
u finally leaked out that lie sat up vcr.
late last night engaged in preparing a
card denouncing the entire managemi nt
of the Journal, from editor-in-chief to the
devil, lor the publication of the alleged
interview with him about the anti-admin
istration resolution. It also came out du
ring the day that Mr. Smith had not only
sat up iate preparing his lurid card, but
that he had had a hand in a midnight
tight on account of the said card. Ac
cording to the story, Mr. Smith, of Gwin
nett, in company with Mr. Charters, of
Lumpkin, and T. R. It. Cobb, of Atlanta,
repaired to the office of United States
District Attorney Joe James, in Ihe cus
tom house building, for the purpose of
using their joint brain factors s to pioducc
such a, card as would literally wipe up
the face of the earth with the Journal
people. During the preparation of the
document, Messrs Cobb ami Charters,
of Lumpkin fell out over some of the
language used, and undertook to settle
the dispute ala fist and skull, but. before
they had done each other serious damage,
Mr. Smith proved himself equal to the
emergency, and sailed into the melee with
a zeal that soon put a stop to the fight.
The row, however, knocked the life out
of the contemplated card, and it has not
yet made its appearance. It is re|iorted
that the gentleman from Gwinnett and
his friends did not complete it in time
for their morning paper, and that the af
ternoon papers were also on the streets
before it came forth.
A WHITE BOY SHOT.
The Gun Fired By a Negro Boy He
Was Out Hunting With.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 27.—A sjiecial to the
Telegraph, from Bartow, Ga., says: "A
serious shooting occurred one mile from
here yesterday, about noon. Two little
sons of Mrs. S. Bell, aged (’> and 9, in com
pany with a negro boy, aged 18, were out
with a gun. The negro had the gun and,
seeihg a blackbird over in the field, left
the two white boys standing in the lane
while he went to shoot the bird. Failing
to get a shot at the bird, the negro boy re
turned to where the white boys were and
remarked that he believed he would shoot
Dan, the 6-year old boy, and Jim, the
9-year-old boy. told him not to shoot Dan.
The negro said: ‘Then I'll shoot you,’
raised the gun and fired the whole load
into his side, shooting one of his arms
nearly off. The negro made his escape
before any one could get to the place, and
as vet he is at liberty. Jim is very low
and is expected to die. He made sub
stantially the above statement before an
officer yesterday, that they might have
his evidence after he dies. Every effort
is being made to capture the young
desperado, and it is thought he will be
captured to-day.”

TRADE’S SKIES CLEARING.
Port in SiMht After a Lons’ and Stormy
Voyage.
Legislative Questions Which Remain
to Be Settled Creato Uncertainty.
Railway Farninga for the Past Week
Show an Increase Compared With
Laat Year A Somewhat Better De
mand From Consumers Noticed—The
Orders From Merchants Larger in
Volume,
New York, Oct. 27.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
weekly review of trade says: "Port is
in sight after a long and stormy voyage
anil the prospect of a speedy end of the
struggle over repeal has brought bright
hopes to business. It is still too soon to
expect much effect in trade and manu
factures and though monetary obstacles
are to a large extent removed, there still
remain other legislative questions which
create uncertainty.
"A fa t of real encouragement is that
the railway earnings for the third week
of October show an increase of 8 lier cent,
over last year, the first increase for a
long time.
"Wheat rose2c. although Atlantic ex
ports fell to 1.100,000 bushels for the
week against 1.900,000 bushels last year,
in part because o western receipts woro
but 5,863.000 bushels against 8,900,000 last
year. But corn declined with better
reports as to the yield; coffee declined
3 16, pork products made only slight
gains, and cotton fell the receipts
being 60,000 bales greater than last year.
As yet there is seen only a continuance of
the faint and slow increase in distribu
tion of products which has been noticed
for some weeks. Nor does even this
gradual revival in demand extend to all
branches.
AMONG THE MANCFACTUREKS.
"Most of the increase yet seen in cotton
and shoe manufacture may be explained
b.v mere exhaustion in the stocks of deal
ers, as frequent requests for immediate
delivery show, but there is also reported
a somewhat better demand from comsu
mers, and four more cotton mills have
started and seven have increased their
force against seven stopping or decreas
ing. A similar demand lias increased by
six the number of hosiery and knit
goods works reported in operatiod. The
shipments of shoes for the east in the
four weaks of October are
28 per cent, less than last year, against
32 percent, in September; but against
eight comparatively small woolen mills,
starting, five have stopped, including one
of 3,(iod and another of 1,000 hands.
"The total sales of wool at the three
chief market s. including several million
pounds believed to be for speculation,
have been 9.207,132 pounds in three weeks
against 21,970,090 last year.
IKON FURNACES RESUME.
“Two additional iron furnaces have
pone into blast, and the present output
may be a little larger than at the begin
ning of the month.
“Some rail mills have resumed manu
facture. apparently to provide for future
rather than present wants of their cus
tomers. and there is some addition to the
number of nail and wire works and ma
chine shops employed. But the demand
for most products is small; steel billets
are called firmer at $59, ship plates are de
livered at Philadelphia yards for $1.56,
and bar sells with decreasing demand for
$1.85 at Chicago. It is hoped that mone
tary ease and security may encourage
railroad extensions and improvements and
architectural work, but the shrinkage in
demand is not wholly duo to the state of
the money markets.
FAILURES OF THE WEEK.
“The number and magnitude of the fail
ures decreased less than had been ex
pected, the liabilities in three weeks of
October amounting to $15,072,920, against
$7,000,000 for the same week last year.
This week, there have been 352 failures
in the United States, against IST last
year, and 44 in Canada against 20 last
year. Including one bank and two west
ern failures for $1.000,000 or more, there
were 65 of liabilities exceeding $5,000
each.”
ORDERS FOR MERCHANDISE.
Bradstreet’s to-morrow will say: “Or
ders for merchandise in larger volume
have been received at Baltimore and
Pittsburg, at Richmond, Nashville, Mem
phis, Birmingham, New Orleans, Hous
ton, Dallas, Little Rock and Gal
veston, and at Cincinnati, Louisville,
St. Louis and Omaha in tho west. This
is an unusually long list of cities at which
an increase in the volume of business has
been recorded within a week, and it is
worthy of notice that reports from them
in almost all instances specify that the
increased orders have been for dry goods,
shoes, clothinga nd groceries.
“Mercantile collections are made more
freely in the cotton growing regions, as
well as in the larger winter and spring
wheat states. At cities in Georgia, South
(larolina and South Alabama, no increase
is reported in the volume of trade, andjat
some a decline is visible.
UNSATISFACTORY IN THE WEST.
“The industrial situation at the more
important centers in the west is as un
satisfactory as heretofore, while at St.
Paul. Minneapolis. Duluth. Milwaukee
and Detroit the record of the year's busi
ness in staple lines does not promise to
equal the expectations of a month ago.
The conspicuous upward movement of
prices last week is succeeded
by a correspondingly long list
of decreases, among which are
quotations from Indian corn, oats, cotton,
due to heavy receipts; coffee, a reaction
from the extreme high prices, hogs, lard,
wool, in some instances; and lumber, par
ticularly at the south, whore it has been
sold at abnormally high figures, Hico is
still hold firm at tile extreme quotations,
as are naval stores.
EXPORTS OF WHEAT AND FLOUR.
“The exports of wheat and flour from
both coasts of tho United States and
Canada this week amount to 3,327.000
bushels, compared with 2.709,000 bushels
last week, 4.973,000 bushels in the fourth
week of October of last year and 3,381,000
bushels in the year before. Nearly
1,200,000 bushels were exported from
the Pacific coast ports.
“Toiomo's wholesale business is quiet,
the only signs of improvement being in
grain.
"The volume of trade at Montreal is
smaller than at this time last year, all
lines reporting a moderate inquiry."

SILVER MEN SQUEAL.
Bryan Thinks Their Defeat and Not
Big Crops Lowered Prices.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 27.—Congressman
Bryan, of Nebraska; Sibley, the silver
member from Pennsylvania, and Stal
lings, of Alabama, passed through At
lanta early this morning on their way to
Alabama. Speaking of the silver fight,
Mr. Bryan said: "It is not dead. The
people of the United States are for free
silver. I doubt if there Is a state in
the union, with the possible ex
ception of Rhode Island, which
would vote for the gold standard.
You notice that stocks went up and agri
cultural products went down on the as
surance that the Senate will pass the re
peal bill. That is what we have always
conterftled. .As silver declines agricul
tural products fall in price.”
Mr. Bryan speaks in Alabama to-mor
row and returns to Washington the next
day. He and Mr. Sibley state that there
will be a hard fight at the regular session
over silver legislation.

RODE IN ON A SPOTTED OX.
Loving West Virginia Mountaineers
Find a Way to Wedlock.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Renwood, W. Va.. Oct. 24.—Miss Carrie
Coats, a pretty girl of 17, rode into Welch,
McDowell county, the other day on a
spotted steer. By her side walked Sandy
Johnson, a stalwart, good looking moun
tainoer of 20 years. They pair came from
Ground Hog Creek, and had traveled in
this fashion all night to escape from the
girl's angry papa.
When Sandy said they wished to be
marriod, half a dozen of the crowd, at
tracted by the unusual sight, ran off to
find the village preacher. On their re
port that no one could be found who
would tie the knot on account of the youth
fulness of the girl, the lovers broke down
and wept in each other’s arms. Then
someone suggested that they take the
train to Bristol, Tenn., and the lovers
dried their tears.
It was soon discovered, however, that
Saudy had no money, but, as all the world
loves a lover, a hat wasquiokly passed
around and enough contributed to Duy
them both return tickets and leave a lit
tle change for the handsome girl. The
spotted steer was tied up and the crowd
escorted the pair to the depot.
As the train rolled in, the young people
stood in open-mouthed wonder, for they
had never before seen a railroad train,
and when it stopped they tried to climb
into the engine cab. They were rescued,
however, and placed in one of the coaches.
As the train pulled out they appeared at
a window, locked in each other's arms,
the bride-to-be throwing kisses at the
crowd.

Discovery.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Chicago, Oct. 24.—Mrs. L. D. Burt, a
widow at Sioux Falls, S. D., last August
while walking about observed a peculiar
gleam from tho sands. Stooping over the
astonished woman drew forth a diamond
weighing, perhaps, four carats. Further
investigation revealed a nest of baubles
buried in their eases several inches be
neath the ground.
Mrs. Burt advertised the jewels and a
number of persons have since claimed the
stones, but could not describe them.
To-day a Mrs. H. K. Smith, of Boston,
