ting $300,000 for a building to
bo known as the “Hall of Records.”
A big batch of recess nominations
was sent to the senate. There were

concurred in the necessity of action
on the national bank bill. The mo

Mr. Voorhees then reported from the
committee on finance the bill to dis
continue the purchase of silver bul
lion, and declaring it to be the policy
of the United States to continue the
use of both gold and silver as the
standard money. Mr. Vest, on be
half of the minority of the finance com
mittee, presented a substitute for the
bill. The substitute fixes the number of
grains of silver in the silver coins of
the United States—464.4 grains of
pure silver per dollar and proportion

dimes. The bill and substitute were
placed on the calendar and Mr. Voor
hees gave notice that he would call up

interest 6n the bonds on which the
increased circulation is based. After
considerable discussion of the bank
bill Mr. Allen’s amendment was re

a good many pairs announced. The
next question was on the amendment
offered by Mr. Cockrell for the redemp
tion, at its face value and actual in
terest, of such 2 per cent bonds as may
'be presented for redemption and to
issue greenbacks to pay for them,
i The amendment was opposed by Messrs.
McPherson and Sherman. Mr. Cock
rell advocated it. Mr. Voorhees in
terposed a motion for an executive
session. The senate then went into

THE HOUSE.
Ninth Day. —ln the house, Wed
nesday morning, after adopting a res
olution calling on the secretary of the
treasury for information respecting
silver purchases, the debate on the
Wilson bill was resumed, Mr. McCall,
of Massachusetts, speaking for the
bill. Mr. McCall was followed by Mr.
Combs, of New York. While speak
ing for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, he referred
to notes and thereby broke the natural
flow of his eloquence.
Tenth Day. —Mr. Daniels, of New
York, opened Thursday’s debate in the
house with a speech urging the uncon
ditional repeal of the purchase sec
tions of the Sherman act. He was
followed by Mr. Cooper, of Florida,
democrat, who announced himself as
opposed to every proposition made by
the silver men and for unconditional
repeal. Mr. Goldzier, democrat, of
Illinois, spoke in favor of the repeal
of the Sherman bill and raised his
voice in support of the creditor class,
which did not, he said, consist of the
bankers and brokers of Wall street,
but of the great mass of the people.
At the conclusion of Mr. Goldzier’s
remarks, Mr. Weadock announced the
death of his colleague, J. Logan
Chipman, of Michigan. The usual
resolutions were adopted and the
speaker appointed the following com
mittee to take action in the j>remises:
Messrs. Weadock, Whiting, McMillin,
Gorman, Caruth, Cannon, of Illinois,
Powers, Haugen and Ailkin. The
house then, as a tribute of respect to
the memory of the deceased at 11:50
o’clock adjourned.
Eleventh Day. —The new members of
the house continue to come to the front.
The star speech of the day, Friday,
was delivered by Mr. Sibley, of Penn
-Bylva""nia, the only member of the Key
stone state who is opposed to placing
the Uuited States upon a single gold
standard and who is a firm advo
cate of bimetallism. The silver debate
was resumed immediately after the
reading of the journal and the floor
was accorded Mr. Sibley, who spoke
for more than two hours, and not for
a moment did he lack the attention
of his colleagues; and in his maiden
speech he took the front rank with the
orators and humorists of the house.
The debate was then suspended for the
time being, in order to allow Mr. Catch
ings to report from the committee ou
rules a resolution authorizing the
'speaker to appoint the various com
mittees of the house. No additional
committees are provided for, but an
increase in membership is made in
some of the more impurtant commit
tees. The resolution was adopted and
the silver debate was resumed, Mr.
Haines,'democrat of New York, tak
ing the floor. He y?a,& followefl by
Mr. English, democrat of New Jer
sey. Dr. Everett, democrat of Massa
chusetts, in an old-fashioned and cour
teous puritan manner, raised his voice
in favor of the repeal of the Sherman
law. Mr. Simpson, populist of Kan
sas, spoke in favor of free coinage.
He severely criticised the demo
crtic party for its absolute
uselessness. Who had ever heard of
the democratic party repealing or
making a law. (Laughter.) The dem
ocratic party was not a party of pro
gress. (Republican applause.) There
was no democratic party any more; it
was President Cleveland’s party.
(Laughter.) He also paid his sarcas
tic respects to the republican party
and oharged the present depression of
business to republican legislation. Be
fore Mr. Simpson had concluded his
remarks, the house at 5 o’clock took a
recess until 8 o’clock, the evening ses
sion to bo devoted to the debate on
the silver bill. About twenty-five
members only were present
when the house met at 8 o’clock.
Simpson concluded his speech. Mr.
Morgan, democrat of Missouri, advo
cated the free coinage of silver. Mr.
Talbert, democrat of South Carolina,
appealed for free coinage of silver. He
was ready to stand by the free coinage
plank of the Chicago platform, as he
was ready so stand by every plank of
the platform upon which he had been
elected. At the conclusion of Mr.
Talbert’s remarks the house at 10:15
o’clock p. m., adjourned until Satur
day.
Twelfth Day. —ln the house, Satur
day, the silver debate was resumed
immediately after the reading of the
journal and McCreary, democrat, of
Kentucky, took the floor in advocacy
of the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act. Mr. Catchings,
democrat, of Mississippi, said ho would
vote for the unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act and he would vote against
the proposition, directly or indirect
ly, looking to the free coinage of sil
ver in this country at this time
at any ratio that could be suggested.
He was followed by Mr. Livingston of
Georgia. Mr. Richards, democrat, of
Ohio, believed that President Grover
Cleveland was right in attributing to
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
bill the present business depression.
The house then, at 5 oclock, took a re
cess uutil 8 o’clock. At the evening
session of the house there w r as a small
attendance on the floor. Mr. Curtis,

terms he regarded as synonymous. Mr.
Clark, democrat of Missouri, address
ed the house in.favor of the coinage of
silver. At the conclusion of Mr. Clark’s
speech the house adjourned till Mon
day.
DULL BUSINESS.
Dun & Co.’s Repo: t of Trade for
the Past Week.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says: There is a rift in the
clouds. Faint and indefinite signs of
improvement are all the better because
they come, not from possibly delusive
hopes or from momentary foreign aid,
but from the good sense and tho won
derful recuperative air of the people
themselves. Business is trying to go
ahead without waiting for Washington.
Imported gold of $9,000,000 or more
during the week does not go to the
right spot, but the people are creating
a home-made currency for themselves
by using certified checks in paying
hands, selling local accounts and pur
chasing grain and cotton. The bank cir
culation has increased $20,000,000, but
the decrease on deposits of national
banks alone from May 4 to July 12 was
$193,165,588, and during the past
month withdrawals have also been
heavy. Little money comes back as
yet from timid hoarders, and the par
alysis of exchange is merely as com
plete as ever, but that very fact push
ed each section and city into relying
more on itself and less on government
and on wall street. Many concerns
are failing or closing, but resumptions
are now- becoming somewhat frequent
and in the very shrinks of production
we see evidences that the demand must
soon evertake the supply.
No such shrinkage resulted at any
time in five weary years after the panic
of 1873, as has already appeared in
the great industries. Pig iron does
not rally, but sells at sl4 at New York
and sl3 at Pittsburg, for No. 1, though
the weekly output has been reduced
46 per cent since May Ist, but a few
large iron and steel works are begin
ning to resume operations. Though
five failed and tw-enty-four stopped
during the week,fourteen have re
sumed. Only a third of the Connells
ville coke ovens are at work; but coke
at $1.25 gives a better chance to
iron manufacture. Sales of wool
in seven weeks have been only 17,575,-
600 pounds, against 50,327,380 last
year and 30,450,800 in 1891, and it is
stated that 93,000 looms and 4,200,-
000 spindles in New England are now
idle, which means more than a quar
ter of the cotton spindles in the coun
try ; but twenty-nine mills and five
other cotton and woollen mills have
resumed, while twenty-eight have
stopped and one failed during the
week.
The more hopeful sign should be in
terpreted with the full understanding
that a genuine revival of business can
not begin until a larger demand for
goods and better conditions otherwise
enable a greater proportion of the
shops and mills to employ and remu
nerate labor as usual. As yet the
works closing exceed in number those
resuming, and the failures continue
each week to restrict the number of
firms able to share in the employment
of hands and the transaction of busi
ness.
The failures this week number 455
in the United States, against 192 for
the same week last year, and 27 in
Canada, against 25 last year. Of the
United States failures 154 were in the
eastern states, 84 in the southern
states and 217 in the western states.

fore the ecare upset matters.

says: Eight cases of fever are reported
from Tampa. The report comes from
the health officer at that port.
It is understood that the cases are on a

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Affairs of Gmmiit ani Rontine of
tie Eonse and Senate Discussed.
Notes of Interest Concerning: the Peo
ple and Their General Welfare.
The Senate Finance Committee,
Thursday, agreed to report favorably
a bill for the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman act.
Comptroller Eckels was informed
Friday that the People’s national
bank, of "Winston, N. C.,capital SIOO,-
000, had suspended.
The Wall street people are rapidly
arriving at the conclusion that they
cannot force congress to repeal the
Sherman law and rule silver entirely
out as a money metal. They are,
therefore, now making propositions to
congress; advising congress what kind
of silver laws to pass.
The decision of the court of arbi
tration in the Behring sea matter ap
pears to give general satisfaction at
the state department and to the mem
bers of the senate committee on for
eign relations, which committee had
all those questions in charge when the
treaty was before the. senate.
The committee on rules of the house
has decided upon several changes in
the rules. They will be reported to the
house before the silver debate has
been completed, and with general con
sent will be ordered printed. No action
is to be'taken on them, however, until
the debate on silver has been finished.
The senate finance committee will
report a bill allowing national banks
to issue currency to the par value of
their bonds on deposit. The leading
advocates of this bill express the opin
ion that the senate will pass it without
delay. Should it become a law it will
add fifteen or sixteen million dollars
to the circulating currency of the
country.
The first meeting of the house com
mittee on rules of the fifty-third con
gress was held Thursday morning. All
the members were present and but lit
tle progress was made. Only that por
tion of the rules relating to the pro
posed increased membership of com
mittees w r as considered at the meeting.
The committees affected are those of
the ways and means, appropriations,
judiciary, banking and currency, coin
age weights and measures, interstate
and foreign commerce, rivers and har
bors and agriculture.
The treasury officials are now dis
cussing a plan to supply the threaten
ing deficiency in the treasury, to get
rid of the accumulation of 6,000 tons
of silver bullion and supply the coun
try with $150,000,000 of new curren
cy. The cash ballance on last Thurs
day dropped half a million. The con
stant fall in the cash balance has at
tracted the attention of Mr. Carlisle
again and he has several plans under
consideration to relieve this steady
pressure. One of these plans is the
issue of temporary loan certificates
against the future revenues, such
as are regularly issued by the Brit
ish government, bearing 1 per cent in
terest.
Senator Gordon’s Bill.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, intro
duced a bill in the senate Tuesday
morning suspending the ten per cent
tax on state banks for six months, and
addressed the senate in behalf of it.
“I do not claim,” said the senator,
“that it is a panacea for all our ills,
but I believe it would stop the panic
in fifteen days. The city of Savannah
is the chief cotton point in our state.
Its banks require money to move the
cotton crop. This bill will enable one
Savannah bank to issue notes to the
amount of twenty per cent on its capital
stock, and the other six banks would
endorse it and six hundred thousand
dollars at least would be thrown into
that great cotton center. This would
be as good money as is in circulation
in the United States and would be ac
cepted by my people. Our banks are
now not able to even get their own
money. This temporary currency
will remove the embargo against our
own cotton crop. It would be equal
to a ship load emptied into the state.”
Unconditional Repeal Bill in tbe Senate.
Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, went
over to the goldbugs Friday and voted
in the senate committee on finance to
report an unconditional repeal bill.
His vote carried the bill through.
Without it the committee was a tie —
sto 5. The vote stood : Yeas—Voor
hees, McPherson, Sherman, Morrill,
Aldrich, Allison, the last four being
republicans ; nays—Harris, Vest,
Vance, Jones, of Arkansas, and Jones,
of Nebraska. The bill as reported
repeals the purchasing clause of the
Sherman law and then declares for
bimetallism. The full text of the bill
is as follows, omitting the enacting
clause:
That eo much of the act approved July 14,
1890, en itled an act directing tbe purchase of
silver bullion and issue of treasury notes there
on, and for other purposes, as directs :lic secre
tary of the treasury to purchase from time to
t me silver bullion to the aggregate amouut of
four milliou five hundred thousand ounces, or
so much thereof as may be offered in each
mouth at the market price thereof, not exceed
ing $1 for 371.55 grains of pure silver, aud to
issue in payment for such purposes treasury
notes of th i United States, be an 1 the same is
hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to be tbe policy of
the United States to continue the use of both
gold and silver as standard money and to coin
both gold and silver into money into equal in
terest and exchangeable value. Such equity to
be secured through international agreement-,
or by such saf guards of legislation as will in
sure the maintainance of the parity in value of
the two metals and the tqnal power of every
dollar at all times in tbe markets and in the
payment of debts.
And it is hereby further declared that tbe
efforts of the government should b'; steadily di
ricted to thj establishment of such a safe sys
tem ■ f bimetallism as wi.l maintain at all times
the eqnal power of every dollar coined or issued
by the stat> s in the market and tbe payments
of debts.
This bill gives the senate something
tangible to proceed upon and opene
the fight and senator Vorhees will make
the first speech upon the bill. Some of
the conservative silver men like Judge
Culberson and Mr. Bankhead are be
coming somewhat doubtful about the
result in the senate.
The greatest depth under water ever
reached by a diver is believed to have
been attained by (Japt. John Christian
sen, who went down 193 feet below the
surface at Elliot Bay, Wash., recently.
He remained at that depth in his armor
for twenty minutes, without inconveni
ence.

Growth During the Night.
It is a curious fact that night is the
time which nature utilizes for growth.
Plants grow much more in the night
than in the daytime, as can be proved
any time by measurement. Measure a
vine at night, then measure it again
in the morning and the next night,
and it will be found that the night
growth is two or three times that ac
complished during the day. Dur ng
the day the plant is very busy gather
ing nourishment from various sources,
and during the night this raw material
is assimilated into the plant life.
The same fact is true of the animal
creation. Children grow more rapidly
during the night. In the daytime,
while the child is awake and active,
the system is kept busy disposing of
the wastes consequent ou this activity,
but during sleep the system is free to
extend its operations beyond the mere
replacing of wornout particles; hence
the rapid growth.
This is why so many invalids need
so much rest and sleep. The system
has been taxed for years beyond its
ability to repair the tissues, and hence
the organism has become worn and
disabled from the accumulation of
waste products, and disease has re
sulted.— Good Health.
Sensible at Last.
Aunt Wayback—“What kind of a
thing do you call that you’re wearing?
City Niece—“ That’s my Eton jacket,
Aunty.”
Aunt Wayback—“Well, I must say
that’s sort of sensible. The front
folds back so you won’t drop the vit
tels on it.” —New York Weekly.
A Last Resort.
Patron—“Do you intend to teach
your boy a trade?”
Artisan—No, he’s too infernal lazy
and good-for-nothing to make a living
at any trade I ever heard of. Guess I’ll
let him adopt some profession.”
The New Bread
As endorsed and recommended by
the New=York Health Authorities.
Royal Unfermented Bread is peptic, palatable, most
healthful, and may be eaten warm and fresh without
discomfort even by those of delicate digestion, which
is not true of bread made in any other way.
To make One Loaf of Royal Unfermented Bread:
1 quart flour, i teaspoonful salt, half a teaspoonful sugar,
2 heaping teaspoonfuls Royal Baking Powder,* cold boiled
potato about the size of large hen’s egg, and w r ater.
Sift together thoroughly flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; rub in the
potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff batter,
about as soft as for pound-cake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will
be required—more or less, according to the brand and quality of the flour
used. Do not make a stiff dough, like yeast bread. Pour the batter into a
greased pan, 4 by 8 inches, and 4 inches deep, filling about half full. The
loaf will rise to fill the pan when baked. Bake in very hot oven 45 minutes,
placing paper over first 15 minutes' baking, to prevent crusting too soon on
top,. Bake immediately after mixing. Do not mix with milk.
* Perfect success can be had only with the Royal Baking Powder, because it is the
only powder in which the ingredients are prepared so as to give that continuous
action necessary to raise the larger bread loaf.
* * ★
The best baking powder made is, as shown by analy
sis, the “Royal.” Its leavening strength has been found
superior to other baking powders, and, as far as I know,
it is the only powder which will raise large bread perfectly.
