VICTORY FOR REPEAL. Free CoiQdp Defeated in tlie tee by a Vote of 239 to 110. The Bland Amendments Were AH Toted Down by Large Majorities. Sixteenth Day. —The five-minute debate in the house on the Wilson bill began Thursday morning with a speech by Mr. Waugh, of Indiana, who spoke for repeal as to the interest of bi-met allism. Mr. Somers, of Wisconsin, favored bi-metallism, but would not vote for unconditional repeal. Mr. Johnson, of North Dakota, spoke for silver. Mr. Pickier, of South Dakota, asked unanimous consent to change the voting order bo as to take a vote Monday on the amendment confining free coinage to the American pro duct. This was objected to by Wilson, in charge of the admin istration bill. Mr. Pickier then tried to arrange for a vote on the American product free coinage propo sition after the Wilson bill had been passed, but again objection was made. He then proceeded to criticise Presi dent Cleveland as being under English influence. Lucas, of South Dakota, and Mr. Hartman, of Montana, spoke for free coinnge. Mr. Barthold, of Mis souri, declared for repeal and the ex tension of bank circulation. Mr. Henk, of Ohio, spoke for uncondi tional repeal. Mr. Heard, of Missou ri, was against the Wilson bill, hold ing that the people were entitled to something more. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, advocated tho repeal of the purchasing clause. He had voted for the Sherman bill only because it contained restrictions that would postpone the evil day. Seventeenth Day.— At the close of the routine morning business of the senate, Friday, which comprised no matter of public interest, except the presentations of communications from the treasury department, adverse to any special legislation in regard to tho penalties on the whiskey tax. Mr. Hill addressed the chair and was rec ognized. He yielded, however, to Mr. Vest, who sent to the clerk’s desk and had read, a communication from the director of the mint giving statistics as to the purchase, cost and coinage of silver. Mr. Hill then resumed the floor. The announcement that Mr. Hill wqs to speak once more made the senate chamber the focus of public interest. He spoke for something over two hours. There was accorded him the strictest atten tion from the start to the finish. Since his sensational support of Peffer’s resolution there lias not been consid erable curiosity as to his real position. He declared himself to be on the dem- ocratic platform, and in favor of un conditional repeal. The pledge to bi metallism was more than empty words. Now was not the time for experimental legislation or tho discussion of ratios. The sen ate, he predicted, ‘would repeal the Sherman act as soon as possible. There would be no filibustering. He said congress should adjourn as soon as the repeal was enacted. His speech was admirable in argument. There is no denying its strength or its effect. Eighteenth Day.— The question of the right of the governor of a state to appoint a senator to fill a vacancy caused by the expiration of a regular term, and not happening by resigna tion or otherwise, was decided by the senate Monday in the negative. The final vote in the two cases from Mon tana and Washington deciding Mantle and Allen not entitled to seats was 32 to 29. There was no vote necessary to be taken in the third of those eases, that from Wyoming, Mr. Beckwith having resigned his appointment more than a month ago. The remain der of the day’rf session was occupied in the consideration of the bill allow ing national banks to increase their circulation up to the par value of the bonds deposited by them to secure circulation. The amendment which Mr. Cockrell had offered some time ago to allow the redemption of the $25,000,000 2 per cent bonds and pay ment for them in anew issue of legal tender notes was rejected by a vote of 23 to 29. THE HOUSE. Sixteenth Day.— The house joint resolution as to town sites in the Cher* • okee outlet was reported in the senate Thursday morning and an attempt was made to have it passed but objection was made and it was placed on the calendar. A question of precedence between Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, and Mr. Pefter, of Kunsas, as to which was entitled to the floor, was decided in favor of Mr Stewart, who then offered to yield his right if Mr. Pefter desired particularly to address the senate. Mr. Peffer de clined the offer, but said that he would be very much pleased if he could proceed now. [ Laughter. ] The vice-president, however, took Mr. Stewart at his word and recognized Mr. Peffer. Mr. Pefter thereupon proceeded to address the senate on the silver question. He requested that he should have a patient and attentive hearing (such as he had given to other senators), as he represented at least a million and a half of voters who be lieved just as he did. Seventeenth Day. —Friday was the day of the debate under the live minutes-rule in the house. Noth ing sensational transpired. Aside from the speeches delivered by Mr. Burrows and Mr. Springers there was none that commanded the attentian of the members; and, indeed, these two speeches were not listened to with the interest they deserved. They day was a day of calm—a precursor of the storm to be precipitated Saturday. A large number of members addressed the house, but for the greater part they wasted their eloquence on empty benches, ihe silver debate was be gun promptly by Mr. Pendleton, dem ocrat, of Texas, who expressed his in tention to vote for the free coinage of silver at any ratio that had been sug gested, but at the same time he held the purchasing clause of the Sherman act responsible for the pres ent hard times. Others who spoke were Mr. Bowers, repub lican, of California, for free silver; Mr. Piggott,democrat, of Connecticut’ spoke in favor of repeal; Mr. Doc! erv, democrat, of Missouri, for free coin ge; Mr. Cobb, democrat, of Alabama, for free coinage; Mr. Marsh, republican, of Illinois; Mr. Joseph, democrat, of New Mexico; Mr. Mooney, democrat, of Mississippi, all in favor of free coin age. At 5 :45 o’clock the house took a recess until 8 o’clock p. m., when the debate under the five minutes rule on the silver question was concluded. Eighteentil Day —The galleries of the house were full of spectators Saturday morning before the hour of meeting, attracted by the announce ment that the last day of the great silver debate was to be signaled by ft battle of the oratorical giants of the house. The chaplain, in his opening prayer, asked God’s blessing on the closing hours of this long bebate. The speaker announced the order of the day’s proceedings. Under the hour rule, he said, the time in favor of the bill would close with the mem ber from West Virginia (Mr. Wilson) and tin? time in the opposition to it by the member from Missouri (Mr. Bland). The first thirty minutes was assigned by Mr. Wilson to Mr. Clarke, democrat, of Alabama. He believed it the duty of congress to fix the ratio between silver and gold at 10 to 1. He was followed by Tom Reed, of Maine, the giant of the republican party. Mr. Reed was never in better trim, aud has never delivered a speech to equal this one. He demonstrated a broadness of views aud a generosity of interest which has seldom been heard from him. After Mr. Reed came Mr. Dearmond, of Missouri, in favor of uncondition al repeal, and then Mr. Williams, of Illinois, who opposed repeal. Then came Private John Allen, of Missis sippi, who delivered one of the most humorous speeches of his life. He argued for free coinage. Mr. Cockran, the Tammany orator, then took the floor arfd made the greatest speech of his life and by odds the strongest argument which has yet been made in either house of congress in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. Mr. Bland fol lowed Mr. Cockran. Several oth er brief speeches were delivered, after Mr. Bland’s, and then the debate was closed in a strong twenty minutes’ speech by Mr. Wil son, of West Virginia, the author of the repeal bill. His most significant utterance was that the administration would, after the repeal of the Sher man law, endeavor to enact legislation looking to the continued use of silver as a money metal. At the night ses sion there were a number of good speeches delivered, the principal one being by John R. Fellows, the New York orator, and the great debate was closed. Free Coinage Defeated. Eighteenth Day.— The public gal leries of the hall of the house of rep resentatives were filled before ten o’clock Monday morniag, and many members were in their seats on the floor at that hour. The surrounding corridors and lobbies of the floor were also filled with a throng of people. When tlie speaker commanded order at noon, nearly every seat in the hall was filled, an un mistakable evidence of general and individual interest in the matter on hand. After the reading of the journal, Mr. Weaver, ot New York, appeared at the bar of the house on arm of his colleague, General Tracy, and was sworn in by the speaker. The house then began to vote on the Bland free coinage substitute, fixing the ratio at 16 to 1 at 12 o’clock, and it was defeated—yeas 123, nays 225. Sixteen to one is believed to be the strongest substitute. The majority against 16 to 1 w r as at least 30 votes higher than the anti-silver men claimed. The 17 to 1 amendment was defeated—yeas 100, nays 240. On a vote at 17 to 1, besides the loss of populist votes, the members of that party withholding their votes, there were several negative votes from those who voted in favor of the ratio of 16 to 1. The 18 to 1 free coinage amend ment was rejected. Yeas, 102; nays, 239. The 19 to 1 amendment was re jected. Yeas, 105; nays, 237. The 20 to 1 amendment was likewise re jected. Yeas, 119; nays, 220. On the substitute reviving the Bland-Allison act, the vote was, for 136, against 213 —majority against, 77. In the final vote to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, the Wilson bill, the vote stood 239 against 110—a majority of 139 votes for repeal. After Mr. Catehings had given notice that he would call up the house rules Tuesday the house, at 3:30 o’clock, adjourned. DECIDING BY VOTE. Employes of the Louisville and Nash* Resist a Cut in Wages. According to a previous arrange ment the representatives of the differ ent labor organizations employed on the Louisville and Nashville railroad system, met in Nashville, Tenn., Fri day to count the vote recently taken by the different divisions as to wheth er they would submit to the ten per cent cut in wages ordered by the road and which, if not otherwise ordered, was to go into effect on September the first. The representatives were com posed of the chairman of each organi zation in their respective divisions and the general chairman of the di vision. The different bodies repre sented were the engineers, telegraph operators, conductors, brakemen, switchmen, firemen and machinists. By an overwhelming vote the employes decided to resist the unconditional reduction in wages. The main point of difference, it is leatned, between the railroad and its employes is the nam ing of date for the between for the re turn to the present schedule of wages. It was ot this point that the men were so overwhelmingly agaist a reduction. It is not know n when they will present to the management the result of the It is expected that the negotiations will extend over several weeks. Ravages of Cholera iu Russia. A supplementary official cholera re port issued at St. Petersburg, Russia, Thursday gives the following statis tics of the ravages of the disease in the affected governments during the past week: Orel, new cases 647, deaths 213; Cossacks of the Don, new cases 498, deaths 202; Koorsk, new cases 296, deaths 103; Viedimir, new cases 156, deaths 5$ ; Lomza, new cases 52, deaths 22; Moscow, new cases 72, deaths 24; Viatka, new cases 47, deaths 22; Voronezh, new cases 30, deaths 23. THE NEWS IN GENERAL. Coiitaei from Our Most Imporlanl TeleirapMc Advices Aud Presented in Pointed and Reada* ble Paragraphs. The Western Brass Foundry, at St. Louis, Mo., was burned Thursday. The loss is very heavy. A special of Sunday to the New York Timeg from Boston says Josiah Quin cy mailed a letter to President Cleve land Friday night in which he tender ed his regignation of the oflice of as sistant secretary of state. The paid admissions to World’s fair Saturday were 164,800, making a total for the week of over 1,000,000. This is the banner week of the fair, the av erage attendance, including Sunday, when the attenance was over 21,000, being over 143,000. A conservative estimate places the total loss by Thursday’s fire in south Chicago at $600,000. The heaviest loss w T as on the Simday Creek Coal Company’s dock, which w’as damaged to the extent of $125,000. A London cable dispatch says: At the regular w eekly meeting' Thursday of the directors of the Bank of Eng land, it was decided to raise the bank’s rate of discount to five per cent. This is an advance of one per cent. The town of Merced Falls, Cal., was destroyed by fire Thursday. The Merced woolen mills, valued at $125,- 000; Nelson’s flour mills, $25,000; and the warehouse of the woolen mill, containing goods worth $50,000, were burned. The town has about 150 in habitants, mostly employes of the mills. The free silverites held a meeting at Cooper union, New York City, Thurs day night. There w r ere 3,000 persons present and much enthusiasm was dis played. Resolutions favoring the free coinage of silver were adopted. Speeches were made by Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, John G. Boyd and Gen. A. J. Warner. A Toledo, 0., dispatch of Sunday says: The famous personal damage suit against P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineer, for $300,000, commenced last March, immediately after the strike of the engineers on the Ann Arbor rail road, has been settled out of court. What the exact terms and conditions of the settlement are, the public will probably never know. Fire broke out Thursday afternoon in South Chicago. A gale was blow ing and the flames quickly swept through five blocks to the lake. Most of the buildings destroyed were frame dwellings occupied by employes of the large steel mills of the Illinois Steel • company. Two hundred and fifty houses w r ere burned and 7,000 people were made homeless. The money loss is estimated at a million dollars, At 6 o’clock Saturday morning a Baltimore and Ohio freight train was derailed at Black Lick, near Newark, 0., while running at a high rate of speed. The engine and several cars w r ere piled up in a huge mass of wreckage. Fireman S. C. Stoneburn er, of Newark, was terribly scalded and will die. Curley Mitchell, a friend of Stoneburner, w r ho was on the en gine at the time, was crushed to death. The appraisement of the personal effects of the banking firm of E. K. Smith & Cos., of Columbia, Pa., which failed recently, shows their affairs to be in a deplorable condition. The cash on hand with the securities will amount to less than $4,000. The de posits amount to $151,000, and the claims of preferred creditors, not de positors, to over $69,000; so that, un less the latter are set aside as fraudu lent, the creditors will get next to nothing. A special from the Salt Lake, Utah, says that, in speaking of the conven tion of the western and southern states, which he has been petitioned to call, Governor Stone said that he W’ould be glad to do anything that was essential and proper for the well be ing of the south and west. He said that such a convention for the consid eration of questions affecting particu larly tohse two sections without refer ence to the east, might result benefi cially. A dispatch of Thursday from Little Rock, Ark., states that a movement is on foot in that state to have the gov ernor call an extra session of the leg islature. The legislature abolished the convict lease system at its last session and only appropriated $30,000 to maintain it the next two years. This fund is likely to be soon exhausted, the state being unable to hire them out. The session is to be called to enact legislation that will enable the state to use the convicts in building railroads to be ow ned and controlled by the state. CONFEDERATE CAMPS. A Summary by States—-One Hundred New' Applications. Adjutant General George Moseland furnished a list of the summary of camps of United Confederate Veterans by states for the information of the veterans and the public, and states that applications for papers for organ ization have been received already from over 100 new camps, which, he believes, with the 371 now registered, will, unless the stringency of the times prevents, marshal the representatives of 500 camps at the Birmingham re union on October 2d and 3d. He says that the change of the date of the re union to October 2d and 3d gives the greatest satisfaction to every portion of the south and a large and enthusi astic meeting is expected.

The Standard Oil company has pur chased a lot in Spartanburg, S. C., and will erect three oil tanks with a capacity of 25,000 gallons each. Spar tanburg will be made a bulk station and distributing point. Chairman T. A. Goodw r yn, of the Alabama state Jeffersonian democratic executive committee,has called a meet ing of that body to be held on Sep tember 7th in the city of Montgomery. The call announces that matters of im portance will he considered and acted upon. A Nashville, Tenn., special of Sat urday says: Without taking a vote on the proposition, the employes of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad have, through their author ized representatives, accepted the re duction of the 10 per cent, in w ages. The Columbia, S. C., Clearing House Association held a meeting Saturday night and perfected arrangements for issuing clearing house certificates. The plan adopted was to issue certificates for two-thirds value of securities de posited with the association, and to the amount of 20 percent of the bank ing capital. The directors of the first national bank of Dayton, Tennessee, have de cided to suspend the payment of de positors for sixty days and a circular to that effect has been mailed to the depositors. The assets are more than double the liabilities, but the strin gency in the money market makes the stoppage of business necessary. The bank hopes to resume in tw r o months or less. A Nashville dispatch of Wednesday says: Jere Baxter has secured back ing and will at once proceed with the completion of the Nashville and Knox ville railroad,which is intended to run from Nashville to a point on the Cin cinnati Southern. The road is already in operation from Lebanon to the Crawford coal field, a distance of fifty six miles, having eighty-four miles to be built. An Austin, Texas dispatch says: Cotton planters tell a doleful tale about the condition of cotton, which is suffering for rain, and they assert that they will not make more than a bale to six acres. Buyers are promptly pay ing for all offered, the ruling price being 6J cents for middling. Many farmers refuse to take this, and haul their cotton home to hold, for higher prices. The Fourth National Bank of Lou isville, Ky., one of the five Louisville banks to suspend payment during the recent panic, resumed business Satur day. The City National and the Mer chants’ National will also resume within a few days. An informal meet ing of the stockholders of the Ken tucky National bank will be held to discuss the matter of re-opening that institution. The liabilities of the Buchanan River Lumber Company, of Wheeling, W. Va., which failed Saturday will reach $200,000, with assets that will more than cover that amount. The creditors are principally banks that hold the company’s paper. The con cern was one of the largest in the state and employed SI,OOO men. It is thought an arrangement can be made with the creditors to permit the works to resume soon. Owing to the stringency of money and general depressed condition of af fairs, the city of Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday night voted to issue city paper. Scrip or promises to pay bear er will be issued in denominations from 25 cents up. It is estimated that $75,000 at least will be issued in this form. The bond sale the first of next year will liquidate the paper which will be discontinued. The interest and bonds to be taken up between now and Janury have been provided for. A dispatch of Thursday from Fort McKavett, Texas, states that the nu merous cattle thieves and smugglers who infest that section of the upper Rio Grande border, are being rounded up and that there is much excitement over the arrests which have already been made. Sheriffs from Valverde and the surrounding counties have been out night and day for the lust week; in all, about fifty men. The hunt is not over yet, and more arrests are exected to follow in a few days. The employes of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railway met in a general mass meeting at Knoxville, Tenn., Saturday night to discuss the propof • and cut in salaries as ordered by the iec eivers. A committee com posed of one man from each division was finally appointed to wait upon the receivers and ask the road to take their salaries as a loan or state some specified time as to when they would be restored. The committee was in structed to consult with the employes at Atlanta, Macon and Selma, where the road has other large shops. The New Orleans Clearing House Association met Thursday and took action on the proposition made to is sue clearing house certificates for small sums to take the place of cur rency. The recent action of the banks left the planters without the money to move the crops and a plan to over come this state of affairs was thus ren dered advisable. After discussion the following plan was adopted: Issue cer tificates of deposit to persons having money on deposit, payable to them selves or bearer, in sums of $5, 810 S2O or more, and make the certificates payable through the clearing bouse. Another Fever Case at Brunswick. A special of Wednesday says: An other new case of yellow fever has de veloped in Brunswick.

Theatrical people know that oil cleans the skin better than water. Generally other people do not. If ac tresses undertook to get their makeup off with water, they would need soft soap and a scrub brush to do it, and the skin would inevitably come with it. They used once cocoabutter. Now they use cocoa oil, which is a better prepa ration of the same thing. Drug stores keep it. Some keep it fresh, and some keep it rancid. Take care not to patronize the second class, and in cocoa oil you will have the most de lightful of all emollients for the oil bath. If you want to see how effective it is, come in from a railway journey on a hot day, when the windows have been up and you have had as much benefit of the smoke and soot as the fireman. Take the most vigorous bath you can devise or endure, then spread some cocoa oil on the face and rub it off. The blackened towel will tell the tale of failure for the bath and tri umph for the oil.— Boston Gazette. His Only Fear. First Boy—“l’m savin’ up money to buy a gun. I’m going west to fight Indians.” Second Boy—“I ain’t.” “No, ’cause you’re ’fraid of the In dians, that’s what you are.” “Huh! Who’s ’fraid of Indiaas? I ain’t. I could vanquerish a dozen of them with one hand.” “Then what is you ’fraid of?” “I’m ’fraid mebby a big alligator’ll get after me and chase me up a tree, and then a big cyclone might come along an’ blow the tree here, an’ then pop ud catch me aud lick me.”— Street <1- Smith's Good News. Daiuty Splashers. In a summer cottage quite the effec tive feature of every bedroom was the washstand splasher. A wide piece of cottage drapery, shirred on a slender gilt rod and suspended by white rib bon bands, formed the background of the toilet stand, falling to the floor and coming well out on both sides. The protection of the delicate wall pa per was perfect, and the graceful ban ners imparted an airy effect that add ed much to the prettiness of the rooms.— New, York Times. I A Polite Dog.

Just before the roast is done pour into the pan in which it is cooking about a pint of hot water. Remove the roast and turn the gravy into a dish. When it is cold, there will be found a supply of pure, rich meat stock ready to flavor sauces or to im prove soup stock. A Wide Choice. Guard (at the Wold’s Fair) —“I ad vise you to go to your State building and make that sort of a heardquarters for receiving mail, writing letters, resting, etc. What state are you from?” Drummer —“Well—er—which State building is the most comfortable?” A News Average.

It is no wonder that there are so many ill bred men and women in the world when one sees the lack of pains taken by parents to instruct their lit tle ones in forms of table and social etiquette that are so easily taught to the pliable infant mind, but which, left unnoticed, are soon supplanted by actions that become bad habits in a very short time. It is no unusual sight to behold a child drinking from its saucer wi th no word of admonition from the mother or nurse who sits near by. A thirsty little one will drink from a cup in which there is a spoon, and later years will see no harm in continuing the practice. Many a child eats with his knife, and yet how easily could the fork or spoon be substituted in its place if the parents gave but a tiny bit of attention to this branch of their children’s education. Selfishness is fostered so easily through a lack of watchfulness. The gentler courtesies that count for so much are not instilled in childhood, and in later years the man or woman is regarded as a bore. Good clothes are not everything. Even good health is not the one point desirable in a child’s makeup. Good manners should be added to health and attire in order to gain a perfect ensemble that counts for so much in the world’s judgment. No one can estimate how great a factor in life is the possession of good manners. They are the open seasame to the best of society. They are the hall mark of the gentleman or lady, but they must be acquired in infancy.— New York Telegram. Last Word. A young girl once heard a bit of wisdom from the lips of a very aged woman—a woman who had rounded the full term of ninety years, and with eyes still bright and clear looked out upon the inrolling waters of eternity. The girl was impressed by the empha sis with which the venerable dame said to her, “Bessie, never insist on having the last word.” The determination to have the final word leads to more quarrels and more bitterness of feeling at homo than almost anything else in domestic life. The fact is, that one may so control her tongue and her eyes that she may allow,her opponent the pleasure of this coveted conclud ing thrust and yet placidly retain her own opinion, and in the homely, col loquial parlance of the upcounty, where one finds strong-willed people living together in great peace with the most pronounced diversity of charac teristics, “do as she’s a mind to.” Table Decoration. All forms of table garniture are re quired to be low. The tall vases are used upon mantels in the drawing room, the sitting-room and the little reception room, but no longer upon the table, where their height proves a hindrance to dinner chat. The custom of putting huge pieces in the centre was never good, but so long as fashion declares in its favor it held neverthe less,and only very few had the courage to denounce it. Now, when it is the correct thing to arrange tempting bits of color as low as can be, the wisdom of the change cannot be denied, and diners out gain an enlarged view of their neighbors and vis-a-vis.—Ex change.

Highly arched eyebrows are said to denote vivacity and brilliancy, level brows, strength of intellect; regularly curved eyebrows express cheerfulness; square ones, deep thought; irregular, fickleness, versatility, excitability; raised at the inner corner, melancho ly ; joined over the nose, an unsettled mind; thick and bushy eyebrows de note physical strength.— Philadelphia Ledger.
