FLORIDA’S GOVERNOR IS DOWN
ON IIIS CRITICS.
Hfeaiisn They Don’t Approve Ills Ac
tion in tlie Flagler Matter.
A report was sent out from Austin,
Tex., to the effect that Governor
Mitchell, of Florida, had rescinded his
previous action in the matter of hon
oring the requisition papers from Gov
ernor Hogg, of Texas, for the arrest
and delivery of H. M. Flagler, of New
York, to Texas officers. The report is
erroneous. Governor Mitchell was
seen at the executive office in the Capi
tol Wednesday afternoon and author
ized a complete denial of the Austin
story, adding: “I havo taken no ac
tion whatever in the Flagler matter
since signing and forwarding the requi
sition to Governor Hogg.”
The governor declined to sny wheth
er or not he would take auy further
action, nor would ho say whether or
not any pressure is being brought to
bear upon him from influential people
in and out of Florida. Tlicro is a re
port, however, that Governor Mitchell
is being besieged on every hand by
politicians and prominent transporta
tion people to back down auil recall
the papers from Texas.
There are thousands of the gover
nor's friends and supporters in the
state who are disposed to oritioiso him
harshly for doing what the governors
of New York and Missouri declined to
do. A leading south Florida lawyer is
authority for the statement that
Mitchell’s action in the Flagler matter
| threatens to mako a very serious divi
sion in the ranks of the Mitchell wing
of the democracy in Florida; that
already the governor has spoken and
written very sharply and pointedly to
several leading state administration
democrats who woro injudicious
enough to approach him with sugges
tions that ho rescind his action in the
requisition case.

FLAMES IN TORONTO
( Cause Losses In the Neighborhood of
u Million Dollars.
One of the most disastrous Gres in
| the history of Toronto, Canada, oc-
; curred early Sunday morning. The
fire originated in the basement of The
Glohr (newspaper) office, and the
! building und several others were
' burned to the ground. A newsboy
was killed and several firemen badly
hurt by falling walls. The total loss
will probably reach in the neighbor-
| hood of 31,000,000. A severe snow
| storm and wind prevailed during the
j fire, blowing a gale and currying em-
! bers several miles away, but the snow
extinguished them and prevented a
more serious conflagration.
Text: “Who storo un vlolonoo and rob
bery iu their palaces.”—Amos 111., 10.
In this day, when vast sums ot mono*,*
nrobeing given for tho redemption of In
dia, I hopo to increase tho interest in that
great country and at tho same timo draw
for oil classes of cur people practical les
sons, nnd so I present this liftn sermon In
tho round the world scries. Wo step into
tho ancient capital of India, tho more pro
nunciation or its natno sending a thrill
through tho body, mind and soul of all
those who havo ever roa l Its stories of
splendor and disaster and prowess—Dolhl,
Before tho tlrst historian impressed his
first word In clay, or cut his first word on
marble, or wrote his llrst word on papyrus,
Delhi stood In India, a contemporary of
Babylon and Nineveh. Wo know that Delhi
existed longer before Christ’s time than wo
live after Ills time. Dolhl Is built on the
ruins of seven cities, which ruins cover forty
miles, with wrecked temples, broken
fortresses, split tombs, tumble down palaces
nnd tho debris of centuries. An nrcbiuo'oglst
oould profitably spen l his lilo hero talking
with tho past through its Ups of venerable
masonry.
There are a hundred tilings hero you
ought to sen in this city of Delhi, but throe
things von must see. Tho first thing I want
ed to see was the Cashmere gate, for that
was the point at which the most wonderful
doed of daring which tho world has ever
seen was done. That was the turning point
of the mutiny or 1857. A lady at Delhi put
into my hand an oil painting of about eight
een Inches square, a picture well executed,
but chiefly valuable for what it repre
sented. It was a scene from tho time of
mutiny} two horses nt full run, bar,
nossed to a carriage in which woro four
persons. She said: “Those persons on
the front side are my father and mother.
Tho young lady on the back seat hold
ing in her nrms a baby of a year was
my older sister, and tho baby was my
self. My mother, who Is down with u
fever In too next room, painted that
years ago. Tho horses are in full run
becauso wo are fleeing for our lives. My
mother Is driving, for the reason that father,
standing up in the front of his carriage, had
to defend us with Ills gun, as you there see.
Ho fought our way out and on for many a
mile, shooting down tho sepoys as wo went.
We had somewhat suspected trouble and
had become suspicious of our servants. A
prince had requested a private Interview
with my father, who wax odltor of the
Delhi Gaeetie. Tho prince proposed to
come veiled, so that no one might recog
nise him, but my mother iuslstod on being
present, and tho interview did not take
place. A large fish had been B°ut to our
family and four other families, the present
an offering of thanks for tho King’s recovery
from a recent sickness. But We suspected
poison and did not oat tho fish.
“One day all our servants came up and said
they must go and see what was the matter.
\Vo saw what was intended and knew that if
tho servants returned they would murder all
of us. Things grew worse and worse until
this scene of flight shown von in,tho picture
took place. You see, the horses were wild
with fright. This was not only because of
tho discharge of guns, but tho horses wero
struck and pounded by sepoys, and ropes
were tied across tho way, nnd the savage
halloo and tho shout of revenge made all the
way of our flight a horror.”
The books have fully recorded tho hero
ism displayed at Delhi nnd approximate
regions, but made no mention oi this fam
ily of Wagentrelbers whoso flight I am
tloniug. But tho Madras Athene uni printed
this i
“And now ! Aro not tho deods of the Wng-
ontrolbors, though ho woro a round Imt and
she a crinoline, as worthy of Imperishable
verso ns those of tho heroic pair whoso nup
tials graced tho court of Oharlomagno? A
more touching picture than that of the
brave man contending with well nerved
arm against tho black und threatening fate
Impending over his wlfo nnd child we
havo never seen. Here was no strife for tho
glory of physical prowess or the spoil of
shining arms, but a conquest of the human
rnlnd, un assertion of the powers of Intellect
over the most appalling array of circum
stances that could assail a human being.
Men have become gray in front oi sudden
unexpected peril, and in ancient days
much was courage a matter of heroic
and mere instinct that wo read In Im
mortal verso of heroes struck with panlo
and fleeing before the enemy. But the sav
age sopoys, with their hoarse warcry and
swarming like wasps around the Wngen-
triebers, struck no terror into the brave
man’s heart. Ills heroism was not the mere
ebullition of despair, but, like that of bis
wife, calm and wise—standing upright that
ho (night use Ids arms better.”
As an incident will sometimes moro Im
press one than a generality ot statement, I
present the flight of this one family from
Delhi merely to illustrato the desperation ol
tho time?. The fact was that the sepoys had
taken possession of the city of Delhi, and
they were, with all their artillery, fighting
back tho Europeans who were on the out
side and murdering all tho Europeans who
were lusble. Tho city of Delhi bus a
crenelated wall on three sides, a wall
flvenndu half miles long,and the fourth sldeof
tho city is defended by tho lUver Jumna. In
addition to these two defenses of wall and
water there wore 40,000 sepoys, all armed.
Twelve hundred British soldiers wore io
take that city. Nicholson, the immortal
General, commanded them, and you must
visit his grave before you leave Delhi. He
fell leading his troops. He commanded
them even after being mortally wounded.
You will rend this inscription on his tomb :
"“John Nicholson, who led tho assault of
Delhi, but fell In the hour of victory,
mortally wounded, and dlod 23d Scptomber,
1857. age.1 thirty-five years.”
With what guns and men General Nichol
son could muster ho bad laid siege to this
walled city filled with devils. What fearful
odds! Twelve hundred British troops un
covered by any military works, to take a
city surrounded by firm nnd high masonry,
on tho top of which were 111 guns and de
fended by 40,000 foaming sepoys. A larger
percentage of troops fell here than in
any great battle I happen to know of. The
Crimean percentage of the fallen was 17.48,
but the percentage cf Delhi was 87.9. Yet
that city must betaken, audit can only bo
taken by such courage as had never been re
corded In nil the annals of bloodshed. Every
charge of the British regiments against tho
walls nnd gate* had been beaten back. The
hyenas of Hlndooiom and Mohammedanism
howlod over tho walls, and the English
nrmy oould do nothing but bury their own
dead. But at this gate I stand and watch
an exploit that makes tho page of history
tremble with agitation.
This city has ten gates, but tiio most fam
ous is the one before which wo now stand,
and It is called Cashmere gate . Write the
words In rod ink because of thee image.
Write them in letters of light for the illus
trious deeds. Write them in letters of black
for the bereft and the dead. Will the world
ever forget that Cashmere gate? Lieuten
ants Balkeld an 1 Homo and Sergeants Bur
gess, Carmichael and Smith offered to take
bags of powder to the foot of that gate an l
set them on Are, blowing open tho gate, al
though they must die In doing it. Tnere
they go just after sunrise, each one carrying
a sack containing twenty-four pounds of
gate was blown Into fragments, and tho
bodies of some of these heroes were so
scattered thoy woro never gathered for fun-
oral or grave or monument. The British
army rushed in through tho broken gate,
and although six days of hard lighting wero
necessary hefofo tho city was [in complete
possession the crisis was past. The G’ash-
mero gate open, tho capture of Dolhl and
all It contained of naiades and mosques and
treasures was possible.
Lord Napier, of Magdala, of whom Mr.
Gladstone spoke to mo so affectionately
when l was his guest at Httwaiden, England,
has lifted a monument near tills Cashmero
gate, with tho names of the men who there
fell Inscribed thereon. That English lord,
who had seen courage on many a battlefield,
visited this Oashmore gato and folt that the
men who opened it with tho loss of
their own lives ought to bo commemo
rated, nnd henoo this cenotaph. But, after
all, the best monument is tho gate itself,
with tluyloop gouges iu the brick wall on
tho left sido made by two bomhsholls, and
tho wall above torn by ton bombshells, and
the wall on the right sido dofacod and
perapod and plowed and gullied by all styles
of long r(moiling weaponry. Lot the words
“Cashmere gato,” as a pynonym for pat
riotism and fearlessness and self sacrifice,
go Into all history, all art. all litera
ture, all timo, nil eternity! My friends,
that kind of courago sauctlflod will vet take
the whole earth for God. Indeed, the mis
sionaries now nt Delhi, tolling amid heathen
ism and fever and cholera, an 1 far away
from home nnd comrort, an l stayin ' there
until thoy drop into their graves, are just as
bravo in taking Delhi for Christ as wore
Nicholson and Homo and Carmichael in tak
ing Delhi for Groat Britatu. Take this for
the first sermonlc lesson.
Another thing you must see if you goto
Delhi, though you leave many things uu-
soon, Is the pnlaoe of the mogul*. It is an
lneiosure 1000 yards by 500. You enter through
a vaulted hall nearly 400 foot long. Floors
of Florentine mosaic and walls once om-
eraldod and sapphire l and oarbunolo l and
diamonded. 1 said to tho guide, “.dhow us
whore onoo stood tho ponoock throne.”
“Hero it was,” he rospondod, All tho
thrones of the earth put together would
not equal that for costliness and brilliance.
It lmcl stops of silver, and tho seat and arms
woro of solid gold. It oust about $150,000,-
('00. It stood between two peacocks, the
feathers and plumes of which were fashioned
out of colored atones. Abovo the throne
vus a life size parrot cut out of one om-
rald. Above all was a canopy resting on
twolvo columns of gold, tho canopy frlugod
with pearls. Heated hero, the emperor
on public occasions wore a crown c6n-
tnlning, among other things, tho Kohlnoor
liamond, and the entire blaze of coronet
ccst $10,350,009. This superb and once al
most sunernaturally beautiful room has im
bedded in the white marble wall lottnrs of
black marble, which were translated to mo
from Persian into English as meaning;
If on the earth there bo an Eden of bliss,
That place is this, is this, Is this, Is this.
But the peacocks that stood bast do the
throne have flown away, taldug all tho dis
play with them, and those white marble
floors wore reddened with slaughter, and
those bathrooms ruu w^th blood, and that
Eden of which tho Persian couplet on the
walls sp ike has had its flowers wither and
its fruits decay, and I thought while look
ing at tho brilliant desolNfloa and standing
amid tho vanished glories of that throuu-
room that wmuo one h id belter change a
littlu Abut * JWwtato Juiinp* .on tho wall and
make it read: -’*** ^ ^'
] f (hero be a place whore much you miss,
That place is this, is this, is this, is this.
As I came out of the palace into tho street
of Delhi, I thought to myself paradises are
not built out of stone { are not out In sculp
ture ; are not painted on walls } are not fash
ioned out of precious stones t do not spray tho
cheolc with fountains ; do not offer thrones
or crowns. Paradises are built out of na
tures uplifted and ennobled, and what
irohlloct’a compass may not swoop.
arcmtocts compass may not sweep, and
sculptor's chisel may not out, and painter’s
pencil may not sketch, and gnrdnner’s skill
may not lay out tho grace of God can
achieve, and If tho heart be right all is right,
and if tno heart bo wrong all Is wrong. Hero
eudoth the second less n.
But I will not yet allow you to loavo Dolhl.
The third thing you must see, or never admit
that vou have boon in India, is the mosque
called Iumrna Musjld. It is tho grandest
mosque I ever saw except 8t. Hophia at Con
stantinople, but it surpasses that In some
respects, for St. Hophia was originally a
Clil ist ii' u church and changed into a mosque,
while this of Dolhl was orlglually built for
the Moslems.
A* i entered 1000 or moro Mohammedans
were prostrated in worship. There are
times when 5000 may ha scon here in the
H imo attitude. Each stone of tho floor Is
three font long by one nud a half wide, an t
each worshiper has one of tlioso slabs for
hlinsolf whllo knooling. Tho erect Ion of
this building required 5000 laborers for six
years. Wlml a built up immensity ot white
marble and red sandstono ! Wo descended
the forty marble steps by which we ascended
and took auothor look at this wonder of tho
world.
As I thought what a brain the architect
must havo had who first built that mosque
in Ills own imagination, and as I thought
what an opulent ruler that must have been
who gave tho order for such vastness and
symmetry, I was reminded of that which
perfectly explained all. Tho architect who
planned this was tho some man who
planned the Taj -namely, Austin do Bor-
doau—and the king who ordered tho mosque
constructed was tho king who ordered
tho Taj—namely, Hhnh Johan. As tills
grand mogul ordered built the most
splendid palace for tho dead when ho
built the Taj at Agra, he hero ordered built
the most splendid palace ol worship for the
living at Dolhl. H«o here what sculpture
and architecture can accomplish. They link
together the centuries. They successfully
duly time. Two hundred and eighty years
ago Austin doBordeau and Shall Johan quit
this life, but their work lives nnd bids iair
to stand until the continents crack op'»u. and
hemispheres go down, and this planet show-
< rs other worlds with its ashes.
I rejoice iu all these big buildings,whothor
dedicated to Mobammo 1 or Brahma or Bud
dha or Confucius or Zoroaster, because as
•St. Hophia at Constantinople was a Christian
church changed into a mosque and will yet
bo changed back aga*n, so nil the mosques
and temples of superstition and sin will yet
bo turned into churches. When India
and Ceylon and China nnd Japan are
ransomed, as we nil believe they will bo,
their religious structures will all bo con
verted into Christian asylums, anl Christian
schools, and Christian libraries, and Chris
tian churches. Built at tho expense of su
perstition and sin, they will yet bo dedicated
to the Lor i Almighty. Hero endoth the
third lessr d.
As that n gbt wo took tho rnllro l train
from the Delhi station and rolled out
through the city now living over tho vaster
cities burled under tills ancient capital,
cities under cities, and our traveling ser
vant had unrolled our hod, which eonsisto l
of a rug and two blankets nnd a pillow.au I as
we were worn out with tho sights icing of the
day. and were roughly tossed on that uneven
Indian railway, I soon foil into n troubled
sloop, in which I saw an l hoard in a con
fuse i way the scenes and sounds of tho
mutiny of 1857, which at Delhi w » had boon
recounting, an i now tho rattle of the train
seemed to luru into tho rattle of musketry,
an 1 now tho light at the top of the car de
luded rno With the idea of a burning city,
and then tho loud thump of tho railroad
brake was in dream mistaken for a
booming battery, and tho voices at tho dif
ferent stations made mo think I heard tho
loud cheer of tho British at tho taking of
tho Cashmero gate, and as wo rolled over
bridges too battles before Delhi seemed

Halt here nt what you have never seen bo-
fore, a depopulated city, tho city of Amber,
India.
Tho strange fner is that a ruler abandoned
his palaces at Amber and moved to Jaipur,
and all tho inhabitants of tho city followed.
Except hero and there a house in Amber
occupied by a hermit, tho city is as silent
a population as Pompeii of Herculaneum,
but those cities wore emptied by volcanic
disaster, whllo this city of Autber was va
cated boenuso Prince Joy Singh was told by
a Hindoo priest that no city should bo In
habited more than 1000 years, and so tho
ruler 170 years ago moved out himself,
and all his nooplo moved with him.
You visit Amber on tho back of an ele
phant. Permission obtained for your visit
tho day before at Jaipur, an elephant is in
waiting for you about six miles out to talco
you up tho stoops to Amber. You pass
through tho awfully quiet streets, all tho
foot that trod them in tho days of tholr activ
ity having gone on tho long journoy and tho
voices of business nnd gayety that sounded
amid these abodes having long ago uttered
tholr last syllable. You pass by a lake cov
ering 500 acres, whore tho rajahs used to
sail in their pleasure Loats, but alligators
now lmvo full possession, und you come to
tho abandoned palace, which is an
onclmntmont. No moro picturesque
place was over chosen for the resi
dence of a monarch. Tho fortress
above looks down upon this palace, and the
palace looks down upon a lalco. This
monnrohlal abode may lmvo had attractions
when it was the home of royalty which lmvo
vanished, but antiquity and tho sllonco of
many years and opportunity to tread whore
once you would not havo boon permitted to
tread may bo un addition qulto equal to tho
subtraction.
But what a solemn and stupendous thing
Is an abandoned oily! While many of the
peoples of earth have no root for their head,
here is a whole city of roofs rojoctod. Tho
sand or tho desert was sufficient oxouso for
tho disanpearanco of Heliopolis, and tho
waters of the Mediterranean Hea for tho on-
gulfinent of Tyre, nnd tho lava of Mount
Vesuvius for tho obliteration of Horeu-
laneuin, but for tho sake of nothing but a
superstitious whim tho oily of Amber Is
abandoned forever. Oh, wondrous India 1
The city of Amber is only one of the marvels
which oompol the uplifted hand of surprise
from tho day you enter India until you
loavo it. its flora is so flamboyant, its fauna
so-monstrous and savage, its ruins so sug
gestive, its idolatry so horrible, its degrada
tion so slekenlng, its mineralogy so brilliant,
its splendors so uplifting, its architecture so
old, so grand, bo educational, bo multl-
potont, that India will not be fully compre
hended until science has made its last ex
periment, and exploration has ended its last

Medicines ol Old.
Ncnrly ovorything in tlio nnimol
kingdom was formerly used in the
healing art, says .Jnlinu Stindo, a Gor
man writer. Iu tho oldust medical
book now known, composed iu Heli
opolis, whoro onco Joseph served in
tho houso of l’otiphar, we find “A
moans for increasing tho growth of
hair, prepared for Hohesoh,tlio mother
of Teta, tho King of Uppor and Lower
Egypt.” Dog’H to th, over ripe dates
and asses’ hoofs were earofnlly cooked
in oil, nnd then grutod. Ah Teta lived
boforo Ciheops, this rocipo for hair oil
is older than tho great pyramid at
Gi/.oh, and is supposed to date book
moro than 0000 years. Tho heads of
venomous sorpouts lmvo hold an im
portant plnco iu modioino. A strong
broth inuilo from thorn nud mixed with
salt and spices and a hundred other
remedies, was employed, under tlio
name of Therinc, as a cure for ovory
conceivable disease. Three drops of
tho blood of an angry black eat gave
roliof to tho epileptic. Even now uni
mnl preparations aro oUloially used, as
sperm, wax, tallow, swine-fat, pepsin,
musk, cochineal, leeches, etc., but the
nasty mixtures have disappeared.
Even loeehes are much loss employed
than formerly. When bleeding and
cupping wero considered important,
leeches held the third place for this
purpose ; and in the Paris hospitals,
between 1829 nnd 1830, from G,000,-
003 to 0,000,000 loochoH wero used nu-
uaully, drawing from tho unfortunate
patients 1700 hundred weight ot
blood. These examples iudiento tlio
degreo of the changes that have been
made in tho science of medicine.—

THE SENATE.
Thn senate re-assembled nt noon
Thursday after tho holiday recess of
about ten days. About thirty senators
woro present when Vioo-prosidont Ste
venson called the body to order and
more onrne in during tho reading of tho
journal. Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania,
introduced his proposed amend
ment to tho urgoney deficiency bill,
amending the tariff law by striking
out all provUioA for an income
tax and substituting a now wool
len sohodule, including a duty on raw-
wool. At 2 :80 o'clock tho senate re
sumed consideration of the Nicaragua
canal bill, Senator Morgan speaking.
After tho presentation of sundry reso
lutions and momerials, Mr. Sherman,
from tho committee on foroigu affairs,
reported, nud tho sennto passed the
resolution heretofore introduced by
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, calling
on tile president for the correspond
ence and other papers relative to tho
delivery of tho United States coubuI
at Shanghai of two Japanese
prisoners to tho Chinese authorities.
Tho resolution wont over nud tlio
senate again proceeded to tho consid
eration of tho Nicaragua canal bill.
Sir. Morgan had tho floor to make a
speech on tlio bill, but before lie be
gan, tlio somite, on motion of Mr.
Sgtiiro, republican, of Washington,
passed a bill granting an American
register to tho vessels Linda, of North
Carolina, and Archer, of Washington.
Air. Morgan thon began his address on
tho Nicaragua canal bill. Ho criti
cised senators who opposed tho bill by
imputing to those who favored tho bill
motives other than pntriotio. Ho de
fended (lie constitutionality of tho
present bill, which had boon attacked.
Less thau twonty senators wero iu
their seats Friday when Vice-Presi
dent Stevenson called tho senate to
order. After the journal had boon
approved and tlio routiuo morning
business transacted, Air. Lodgo, re
publican, of Massachusetts, addressed
tho senate upon hiH resolution of in
quiry as to why tho United States
warships bail been withdrawn from
Honolulu. At (he conclusion of Air.
Lodge’s remarks, Air. Butler, of South
Carolina, moved tho reference of tlio
resolution to tlio committoe on foreign
relations. Air. Lodgo was disposed
to combat this roferonco, insisting
(hat it should moro proporly go to the
committee on naval affairs. The mat
ter wns discussed by Alessrs. Butler,
Gray, Lodgo and others. Air. Aldrieli
suggested that tho resolution bo modi
fied so ns to request tho information
of tho subject from tho president.
'There was no reason why it should not
paHH. Tho people of tho United States
were entitled to tho information do-
sired. Alorgnn, democrat, Alabama,
declared himself in favor of annexa
tion and a good friend to tho people
of Hawaii. At tho same time tho
resolution should go to the oommittuc
on foreign relations. Ho believed the
now republic of Hawaii should lmvo
an opportunity to show to the world
that it did not need n crutch to help it
along. Other speeches wero mndo on
the measure, and at 2 o’clock tlio reso
lution went to tlio calendar and Honn-
tor Alorgnn resumed his speech on tho
Nicaragua canal bill. On motion of
Senator Stewart, n resolution was
mndo making inquiry of tho sccrotnry
of stato ns lo whether Hon. J. W.
Foster had any connection with tho
American government in his mission
to China and Japan.
THE HOUSE.
Tho holiday rocess being ended, the
house presented an animated scene as
it was called to order by Speaker
Crisp Thursday. Tho gnllcries wero
crowded and over half the members
wero in their seats, In the diplomatic
gallery wero tho Japanese minister
and his secretary and many prominent
personages looked down on tho foren
sic arena from tlio reserved gnllory.
After the call of tho committees for re
ports, Air. Quigg, republican, of New
Vork, attempted to offer a resolution
relating to salaries in tho New York
postoflioe, but Air. Springer, in charge
of the currency bill, cut him off with a
motion to go into committoo of tho
whole for the further consideration of
that bill. Accordingly the house went
into committee, of tho whole, Mr.
Richardson in tlio chair, and Air. Black,
democrat, of Georgia, a member of the
banking and currency committee, took
the floor in favor of the bill.
At tho opening of tho session of tlio
huiiHO Friday, the speaker presented
tlio resignation of Iloprosontotivo
Painter, of tlio fifth Kentucky dis
trict. Air. Painter assumes his new
duties ns judge of tho court of ap
peals. A resolution was passed agree
ing to an increase of pension to lloseu
Brown, aged 103, a veteran of the war
of 1812. The dobato on tho currency
bill was then resumed, nnd Air. Hen
drix, of New A'urlt, a banker, took tho
Ho said thu situation that con-

Thn following thermodynamical

Engineer : “A boy entH two ounces of

land at our expense. Any ono who
would glnneo nt tho frank statements
of tho treasury showing its small re
serve could not but marvel that it had
not been sooner confronted with great
peril. Air. Hendrix depicted geo
graphically tlio present anomalous sit
uation of tlio credit of tho United
States—money idle, tho banks full, the
enterprise nt the lowest ebb, men liv
ing from hand to mouth, nnd tho
tronsury fighting to keep its head
above water.
Tho feature of the dobato upon tbo
currency bill in the houso Saturday
was tho speech of Air. Cochran, of
Now York, who occupied the attention
of the houso for nearly two hours, de
voting himself largely to a discussion
of tho nature of money nnd currency,
with a view to impressing upon Iho
members tho fact that Iho subject
oould not be safely treated as a party
question. Air. Oocltrnu held tbo at
tention of tlio floor and tho galleries
throughout Imh speech nnd was greotod
with applause at tlio close. Air. Itont-
nor, who opened tho debate with
n speech in favor of tlio pending bill,
became engaged iu an animated col
loquy with Air. Bland over the finan
cial policy of the administration which
Iho latter described as “mugwump.”
Mr. Bontner described the bill briefly
as a measure intended to take the
shackles off tho banking interests of
tho country nnd to permit them to per
form untrammelled the functions for
which they were organized. Speeches
were also made in support of the hill
by Air. Catchings and in opposition to
it by Air. Lney. At the conclusion of
tlio debate, Hpenkor Crisp laid beforo
tho house tho military academy appro
priation bill with tho senate amend
ments. On motion by Air. Outhwnito
tho Honato nmondmonts were non-cun-
curred iu and n conference ordered.
The houso then, at 5:15 o’clock, ad
journed until Monday. A call for a
democratio caucus lo be hold nt 8
o’clock Alondny was read immediately
after adjournment.
