Eleventh Day. —Theßenate was pre
sided over Friday in the absence of
the vice president by Mr. Harris,
president of the senate pro tern. A
long communication from the secretary
of the treasury was presented and
read on the subject of gold and silver
payments. A motion to adjourn till
Monday was made. Mr. Voorhees,
chairman of the finance committee,
concurred in the necessity of action
on the national bank bill. The mo
tion to adjourn over was withdrawn.
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-tlie finance com
mittee, presented a substitute for the
bill. The substitute fixes the number of
grains of silver in the silver cojns of
the United States—464.4 grains of
pure silver per dollar and proportion
ately for half dollars, quarters and
dimes. The bill and substitute were
placed on the calendar and Mr. Voor
hees gave notice that he would call up
the bill and address the senate upon
it Tuesday. The bill for the increase
of national bank circulation was then
taken up and Mr. Allen, populist, of
Nebraska, advocated the amendment
previously offered by him to suspend
interest on the bonds on which the
increased circulation is based. After
considerable discussion of the bank
bill Mr. Allen’s amendment was re
jected—yeas 11, nays 39. There were
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.
The amendment was opposed by Messrs.
McPherson and SheWftfim* ♦fcir. oock
rell advocated it. Mr. Yoorhecs in
terposed a motion for an executive
session. The senate then went into
executive session, first allowing Mr.
Butler to offer an amendment to the
bank bill, repaling the 10 per cent tax
on the noteb of state banks. At 4 :30
o'clock the senate adjourned until
Monday.
Thirteenth Day. —Numerous bills,
which had been introduced and were
pending in the last congress, were re
introduced in the senate Monday and
referred to committees. A substitute
for the national bank currency was of
fered by Mr. Peffer, proposing the is
sue-of £250,000,000 of treasury notes,
to be deposited in the treasury and to
be available as cash. A resolution was
offered by Mr. Chandler de
claring that there was no lawful
election of a United States senator in
Kansas, when Mr. Martin was declared
elected; also, one looking to the open
ing of the coast line of waterways.
These were referred to committees.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, asked and
obtained indefinite leave of absence
on account of ill health. He then ad
dressed the senate in favor of the bill
reported from the finance committee
last Friday to determine the purchase
of silver bullion. ,
Fourteenth Day. —ln the senate
Tuesday morning Mr. Allen offered an
amendment to Mr. Voorhees’ repeal
bill in the form of a provision for the
coinage of silver at the present ratio
of 16 to 1, under the same conditions
enforced as to the coinage of gold, and
directing the coinage of the silver bul
lion now in the treasury. It was re
ferred to the finance committee,as was
also the bill introduced by Mr. Peffer
for the reduction of the salafTes of all
of the government employes from
SI,OOO and upwards by 15 and 20 per
cent. Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the
finance committee, then addressed the
senate in advocacy of the bill reported
by him last Friday, discontinuing the
purchase of silver bullion. Voorhees’
speech was listened to with the great
est attention. Such a scene as
was being witnessed in the sen
ate . chamber is rare. It is like
ly to become historic. There was not
an inch of space left in the galleries.
Rows of people three deep lined the
aisles and they were fringed against the
wall in a black mass. On the floor
every seat was occupied. The sofas
were crowded with the leaders in the
house on both sides of the financial
question.
the house.
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
sylvania, 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 accordol 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 on
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 important commit
tees. The resolution was adopted and
the silver debate was resumed, Mr.
Haines, democrat of New York, tak
ing the floor. He was followed 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 partv any more: it
was President Cleveland’s party.
(Laughter.) He also paid his sarcas
tic respects to the republican party
and charged 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 be 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’clockp. m., adjourned until Satur-
da.y.
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 iu advocacy
„of the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act. Mr. Caterings*
democrat, of Mississippi, said he 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 tho free coinage of sil
ve.r 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 until 8 o’clock. At the evening
session of the house there was a small
attendance on the floor. Mr. Curtis,
republican, of Kansas, spoke in sup
port of the Wilson bill. Mr. Broderick,
republican, of Kansas, spoke in favor
of bimetallism and prosperity which
terms he regarded as synonymous. Mr.
Clark, democrat of Missouri, address
ed the house in favor of the coinage of
silver. At theconclusion of Mr. Clark’s
speech the house adjourned till Mon
day.
Thirteenth Day. —The silver de
bate was opened in the house Monday
morning by Mr. Pow ers, of Vermont,
wdio spoke in favor of the repeal. The
purchasing clause should be repealed
unconditionally, he said, because it
was vicious in principle and dangerous
in application. Mr. Hooker, of Mis
sissippi, spoke against repeal, believ
ing that no relief would come to the
country from that repeal. The presi
dent said that the depression came
from lack of confidence. The lack of
confidence was not in the great masses
of the people, but in the great money
institutions that were locking up the
currency of the country. The debate
was then suspended to allow the
speaker to announce the standing and
select committees for the present con
gress. Then, on motion of Mr. Bland,
Saturday next was set apart for gen
eral debate on the Wilson bill, instead
of debate under the five-minute rule.
Mr. Cooper, democrat, of Indiana,
spoke in opposition to the free coinage
of silver.
Fourteenth Day. —The house pass
ed the senate bill in aid of the Cali
fornia Mid-Winter International ex
position. Mr. Johnson, of Ohio, in
troduced his interconvertible bond
bill and had it referred to the bank
ing and currency committee, with
leave to report at any time after the
silver debate. The silver debate was
then resumed, and Mr. Brickner spoke
in' favor of the repeal of the purchas
ing clause of the Sherman act. Mr.
Mallory made a speech in opposition
to the.unconditional repeal of the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law. He
did not believe that this repeal would
restore confidence or remedy the evils
which now existed,* Mr. Hopkins of
Illinois, charged the democrats with
partisanship in mapping out the plans,
of procedure for the consideration of
this great question, and then proceed
ed to speak in favor of the Wilson
bill. Mr. Lane, of Illinois spoke in
favor of free silver.

Brief and Concise Paragraphs
And Containing tl e Gist of the News
From All Parts of the World.
Silver took a jump upward Tues
day, the London quotations as sent to
the treasury department being $0,7634
per ounce. This is two cents higher
than Monday’s purchases by the de
partment, which amounted to 165,000
ounces at $0.7425 per ounce.
Chairman T. A. Goodwvn, of the
Alabama state Jeffersonian democratic
executive committee,has called a meet
ing of that body to be held on Sep
tember 7th in the city of Montgomery.
The call announces that matters of im
portance will be considered and acted
upon.
The First National bank of San
Marcos, Texas, suspended payment
Monday by order of the ' directors.
Notice was given that the depositors
would be paid in full as soon as they
could realize on the paper, of which
there is more than two and one-half
times the amount required.
Pensacola, Fla., for nine years has
been under a provisional municipality
government, appointed by the gover
nor of the state. At the first city elec
tion held Tuesday since 1884, William
E. Anderson was elected mayor. There
was but little content, all the candi
dates being democratic.
The Findlay, Ohio, Rolling Mill
Company, employing four hundred
men has resumed operations. The
men have signed a contract to accept as
much cash as can be paid by the cornpa-,
ny and time checks and notes payable
in sixty days for the remainder. Other
mills in Findlay will resume on a like
basis.
The board of health of Charleston,
at a meeting Tuesday, determined to
send one medical sanitary expert to
each of the three railroad junctions
leading to Charleston via Lanes,
Branchville and Yemassee. The ex
perts were at once detailed for work
and dispatched to these places with
instructions to inspect ali iAcwwirg
passengers on every train. They are
accompanied by detectives to aid them.
A New York special of Tuesday says:
The belief :b steadily growing in the
stock exchange financial circles that
the Sherman silver law will be re
pealed. This, coupled with the con
stant arrival of gold, has created quite
a little bullish sentiment on the board,
and operators are more willing than
for some time past to buy stocks. As
a result, the market after opening of
business, began to harden and prices
rose 1$ to If per cent.
The latest advices from Brunswick
state that the city is ( almost depopula
ted on account of the yellow feverj
scare. Many stores are closed and tlyl
proprietors are gone. All the
are closed except the ice factory. hur
natiorfis everywhere.
dences, closed shutters and bolted
doors tell the tale of a community’s
terror. Refugees on foot, horseback,
and in every conceivable form of con
veyance have made their way to other
places.
A New York special of Tuesday says:
The silver men are going to carry the
fight into the camp of the goldbugs.
They have engaged Cooper Union for
their headquarters and they will hold
a mass meeting there and demand the
fulfillment of one of the pledges upon
the strength of which a democratic
president and congress were elected
last November. The Tneeting will be
under the auspices of the executive
committee of the Chicago silver con
vention.
The Italian government is taking
steps to punish the officials who are
Held responsible for not preventing
the recent rioting in Rome. The mas
sacre of Italians by Frenchmen at
Aigues-Mortes on Thursday came as
sudden thunder from the clear interna
tional sky. Already it has become the
subject of volumnioiis correspondence
among the foreign offices of the Triple
Alliance, and during the next few days
probably will be made the most im
poitant incident in this dull season
among the Continental powers.
The Memphis, Tenn., cotton ex
change held a meeting Tuesday and
passed calling upon con
gress to unconditionally repeal the
Sherman law without delay. The res
olutions state that “we believe that
the repeal of this law will renew con
fidence, cieate a better and more sat
isfactory feeling in the minds of the
mercantile community and instill new
life into financial affairs. Every day’s
delay in this matter by congress in
tensifies the strained condition of af
fairs now prevailing and retard re
covery when the law is finally retard
ed.”
A riot occurred at Gilberton, Pa.,
Tuesday which grew out of a dispute
between the borough officials and tho
Schuylkill Traction Company over the
right of the latter to lay its tracks
through the town. The " citizens tore
up the tracks already laid and the rail
road company sent a party of armed
men to the spot in charge of one of
its special officers. While negotiations
were progressing for a settlement, a
wordy quarrel arose between the citi
zens and the railroad company’s arm
ed men. The result was a regular bat
tle in which two men were killed and
several dangerously wounded.
A Washington special of Tuesday
says: The interstate commerco com
mission, by Commissioner Clements,

hundred, and on class goods shipped
from Louisville, Cincinnati and St.
Louis rates not in excess of those to
Columbus, Ga.
DULL BUSINESS.
Dun Jt Co.*s Repoit 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, blit 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 increaseds2o,ooo,ooo, 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 closipg, but resumptions
are now becoming somewhat frequent
j’nd in the very shrinks ox production
\ve sCo evidences that the demand mußt
soon overtake 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*“t New York
and sl3 at Pittsburg, though
the weekly mitput hittr been reduced
46 per cent’s mce May Ist, but a few
large iron and steel works are begin
ning to resume operations. Though
five failed and twenty-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
xiron manufacture. Sales of wool
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 cottbn 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
i 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.
RIOT IN ROME.
Attempt of a Mob to Burn the French
Embassy--Charge(l by Troops.
A special cable dispatch from Borne,
Italy, states that the trouble growing
out of the fighting between the French
and Italian workingmen employed at
the salt workß in Aignes Mortes,
France, threatens to involve grave
international complication. A most
serious outbreak of popular feeling
against the French occurred in Rome
late Sunday night, when a howling
mob attempted to burn the French
embassy.
Some of the rioters carried cans of
petroleum, and did not hesitate to
openly declare their intention to use
it in destroying the embassy. Not un
til several charges had been made by
a force of troops did they begin to re
treat, fighting all the time. Forty
five were arrested. Many were wound
ed by the sabres, which the soldiers
used unsparingly. The rioting in
provincial towns is only quieted by
troops, the police being utterly power
less to handle the mob.

A DISPENSARY DECISION.
Judge Izlar Dissolves the Injunction in
the Mt. Pleasant Case.
A Charleston fs. C., special of
Wednesday says: Judge James F.
Islar. of the state circuit court,
has filed a decision in the Mount
Pleasant dispensary case. Some
time ago a number of attorneys
appeared before him and presented a
petition to close ths dispensary on the
grounds that the dispensary law is un
constitutional and Uso alleging cer
tain irregularities in the manner in
which W. M. Williams, dispenser at
Mount Pleasant, was appointed. The
decision dissolves the temporary in
junction which had been granted and
dismisses the petition on the grounds
that the petitioners did not show that
they would be injured by the opera

therefore, had no reasons for asking a
court of equity for preventative relief.
