VOL ill. CONGRESS IN SESSION. s The Dally Mine of Both Houses Briefly Ehitomizefl. What is Being: Done to Allay Finan cial Depression ami Brins Relief. 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 The mo tion to adjourn over was withdrawn.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. TRENTON, GA. FRIDAY. AVGUST 25,1893. OUR LATEST DISPATCHES. The EajpeniDgs ol a Day Clircmcleil in 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, has rendered a decision in the case of the board of trade of Troy, Ala., vs. the Alabama Midland and Georgia Central railways, et al. Tho decision is in favor of the complainant and di rects that the defendant roads readjust their tariffs so as to give Troy a rate on cotton not hither than those given Montgomery ; on cotton shipped from Troy via Montgomery to New Orleans a rate not higher than 50 cents per 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. TIE NEWS IN GENERAL. Condensed iron Our Most imtorlanl Telesjaplic Aflreos And Presented in Pointed and Reada ble Paragraphs.

A bill to foreclose a mortgage of $1,446.68 was filed in Chicago, Friday, against the company owing the John Brown fort, which was recently brought from Harper’s Ferry for exhibition at the World’s Fair. The bill alleges that the exhibition has been a failure, and a receiver for the company is de manded. Official advices have just been re ceived at City of Mexico from Guya mas in the state of Sonora, that a band of 200 Yaquis Indians, or. a cat tle stealing expedition near Arenas en countered a company of national troops under Captain Ayala. In tho fight which followed seven men of the troops were killed. At Bonnet Mills, on the Missouri river, twelve miles east of Jefferson City, Mrs. Fosterm, her two children and her sister were drowned Saturday night.

All were mangled beyond recognition. The Fort Wayne mail and express, carrying $250,000 in gold coin con signed to Chicago, was wrecked at Whiting, Ind., Friday night.

He said that such a convention for the consid- eration of questions affecting particu larly tohse two sect ons without refer ence to the east, might result benefi cially. 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 tion of the dispensary, and that they, therefore, had no reasons for asking a court of equity for preventative relief.
