A BILL FOR REPEAL IS PRESENTED.

Mr. nimurt Offers a Free Colnng. 18 to 1 Moasnre as Substitute—The Delist. to I.eat Two Week*—A Vote

Kxpected August )8,

PLEAS FOB AND A6AINST REPEAL. WASHINGTON, Aug. IB.—Pursuant to an agreement between the silver and anti-silver men Mr. Wilson (W. Va.), immediately after tho reading of the journal introduced a bill providing for unoonditlonal repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman law.

Mr. Itland (Mo.) offered the agreement made governing tho course of debate. It limits debate to fourteen days, sessions continuing from 11a m. to 5 p. m., and with night sessions for debute only if desired the vote first to be taken on the bill to be presented as a substitute for the Wilson bill, providing for free coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1. If that fail, then at ratios running from 17 to 1 up to BO to 1 if they all fail then on the revival of the Bland-Allison act of 1878 and then on the original measure.

Mr. Bland demanded tho previous question on his order, but this was antagonized by the republicans, under the leadership of Mr. Cannon, who wanted time to debate the question. Under the ruling of the speaker, in the absence of rules or agreement, ordering the previous question would cut off debate. Uy tho operation of voting by tellers Mr. Cannon secured sufficient support to secure a vote by yeas and nays, and at 112:33 the calling of the roll began.

The vote rosulted: Yeas, 217 nays, 100. So the previous question was ordered. The republicans generally voted with the democrats in support of the motion. The resolution was then adopted. Mr. Ill and then introduced his substitute bill.

Mr. Kayner Opena the Debate. At hve minutos alter 1 Mr. Rayner (dem., Md.) began the debate in support of the Wilson bill for the unconditional repeal of the silver purchase clause. Mr. Rayner said that the adoption of the policy of free silver coinage would tic the United States to the tail of any bankrupt nation of the world. The opening of the mints to silver might for a time, he said, maintain the fictitious value of the coin, but the value of the bullion would always bo regulated by the market prioe. As long as the Sherman silver act remains on the statute books, so long will it be impossible to effeot an international arrangement, so logg will monotary conferences result in failure. Mr. Rayner spoke for twenty-five minutes. Having still fifteen minutes of time left, Mr. Wilson gave it to Mr. Brown (Ind.).

An Iiidliniau'a Views.:

Mr. Brown's speech was a strong denunciation of the Sherman act and an earnest plea for its repeal. He devoted considerable time to explaining the double standard plank In the Chicago platform. His chief intent, he said, was to see that all money coined should bo equal in value. He did not believe that the president was opposed to the coinage of silver he did believe that the president would keep the promises of the deiuocratis platform. He had kept one promise by calling the party to repeal the Sherman law. Now let tho other members of the party do their duty by voting for the repeal.

Mr. Bland Has nis Say.

Mr. Bland opened for the free coinage side of the question. As to the declarations in the democratic platform, Mr. Bland assarted it was the understanding that free coinage of silver necessarily meant the repeal of the Sherman law the two are so antagonistic that they cannot exist at the same time. But we are met now with the suggestion that we legislate by piecemeul repeal the Sherman law and take our chances of securing anything in its place which shall meet the pledge of the platform to coiu both silver and gold.

Upon the question of ratio. Mr. Bland arguud in favor of 10 to 1. He said that if the United States would maintain the parity of gold and silver on that ratio, the world would buy our produce. We have the property to sell and should induce purchasers to come. France maintained gold and silver at a parity 011 the rate of 15X to 1 for seventy years, because she had property to sell.

Would Affect Knglnnd.

That was a proof that the government of the United States could do so at the ratio of 10 to 1. If Europe refused to accept that ratio the effect Would be to divert from Europe all the trade of every silver-producing country in the world. Could England, he asked, withstand this withdrawal of trade. Certainly not. It was bimetallism that made the manufacturers of England so strong and prosperous. The United States waa the best market in the world for the manufactured products of Europe and that market Europe could not have unless it recognized and acceptcd silver at the same value as the United States did.

Mr. Bland contended that it was the fight on silver which had precipitated the panic. It had been brought about designedly and for a purpose. But he declared that if the demands of the bimetallists were not complied with the panic would become one in earnest, lie appealed to members to stand by bimetallism and not to obey the demands of the Shylocka.

EiUndtd His Time*

By this time Mr. Bland's time hud expired, but on motion of Mr. Oulb«rson (dem., Tex.) it was extended indefinitely. Resuming, he said: "The money requirement® of the -United States, with the vast wealth, Industry mod en* ergy of its people, wuro equal to those of England, Franov und Germany combined, and that the whole civilized world would have to look 1 to this country for lis future monetary sup

ply. And yst [said he, with vehemenco] we are asked here to-day to lay the bloody hand of confiscation on millions of our population In order to satisfy the greed of En«» land. Will oongress do 1U Will you trample down the Interests of your own people and destroy the value of one of the precious metals simply to gratify the greed of Wall street^-a mere agent of Lombard streett It cannot, It shall not be dotie. Speaking for the great mass of the people of the Mississippi valley and of the peopls west of It, I say you shall not do it, and anybody or any party that undertakes to do It will In God's name be trampled, as It ought to be, In the du*t of condemnation, now and la the future. speak as a democrat, but yet as an American above democracy. We do not Intend that any party shall survive, If wo can help it, that will lay Its con. flscatlng hand on America la the Interest of Kngland or of Burope.

Eastern Democrats Threatened. ••That may bo strong language, but. speaking to you of the eastern demooraey, we will bid you farewell when you do It. Now, you can take your oholoe of sustaining America against England, of sustaining American industries and American laborers against English industries and English laborers, or of our going apart. For myself, I will not support such a party here or elsewhere, but will denounce It as undemocratic and unAmerloan. And the democrats engaged In it I will ask the people of the oountry to condemn as the agents and toolsno, I will withdraw that epithet—as the representatives of the moneyed power and the moneyed interests, instead of being the representatives of the tnassos of tho American people. You cannot hold the democratic party together on that line,"

Other Rpeakers.

Mr. Bland was followed by Mr. Pence (pop., Col.), who In turn gave way to Mr. Wheeler (den? Ala.), both favoring1 free coinage, iiefore the conclusion of Mr. Wheeler's speech the house, at 5 p. m. adjourned until 11 a. m. to-day.

The Wilson 1)111.

Following Is a synopsis of the bill which Mr, Wilson has introduced in the house:

It provides that so much of the act approved July 14, 1800, as directs the seoretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregrate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in each month at the market price thereof, not exceeding 11 for 371)* grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchase treasury notes of the United States, be, and the same Is hereby, repealed. But this repeal shall not Impair nor In any mannor affect the legal tender quality of the standard silver dollars heretofore coined and the faith and credit of the United States are heroby pledged to maintain the parity of the gold and silver coin of the United States at the present legal ratio or such other ratio as may be established by law.

The Bland Substitute.

It is also agreed that Mr. Bland shall be allowed to introduce the following substitute: "Section 1. That from and after the passage of this aot all holders of silver bullion to the amount of I10U or more rf standard weight and fineness shall be ontltled to have the same coined at the mint of the United States into silver dollars of the weight and flneneHs provided for in the second section of this act "Sec. 2. That the silver dollar provided for In this act shall consist of 412^ grains of standard silver, said dollars to be a legal tender for all debts and dues and demands to the public and private. "Soc. 8. That the holder of the sllvor dollars herein provided for shall be entitled to deposit the samo and to receive silver certificates the manner now provided by law for the standard silver dollars. "Sec. 4. 8e much of the act of July 14,1690, entitled 'An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and the Issue of treasury notes thereon and for other purposes' as required the monthly purchase of 4,BOO,000 ounces of same silver bullion, and the samo Is hereby repealed."

IT BRINGS RELIEF.

Incoming Oold Helps to Restore Confidence.

THE FINANCIAL SKY IS CLEARING.

A Marked Chance for the (tetter liutli In the East and Went Hoarded Funds Coming Into Circulation Attain.

A MUCH BRIOnTER OUTLOOK. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—A tour among the banks, large merchants and grain and stock commission houses disclosrs the fact that a very much better feeling prevails. The opinion is expressed on every hend that the turn in the lane has been reached and that confidence is returning. Everybody is talking in a more cheerful way and the situation is unquestionably improving.

Confidence llased on Facts. The changed tone from gloom and discouragement to buoyancy is not sentimental. It is based on substantial foundation. Conditions have changed. The balance of trade, instead of being against us, as it was up to July 1, is running strongly in favor of America. Instead of draining this country of its treasure to pay trade differences the old world is sending millions upon millions of gold to America in payment of wheat, corn, hog products, beef and securities. Over $30,000,000 in gold has started from Europe since tho middle of July or is under engagement. The national banknote circulation has increased {20,000,000 since July 1. These are the big general facts that tend to a restoration ol confidence, not only in a broad sense but locally as well.

Lots of Gold Comiug,

The gold that is coming to America lias already loosened the machinery. Chicago will reserve not less than $5,000,000 in gold direct within the next two weeks, to say nothing of what may be sat afloat in the meantime. An infusion of that amount of new capital is an important item to the community. It represents a measure of relief and a change from unhealthy congestion to the beginning of a restoration to natural conditions. The change means a great deal to Chicago.

It means tha marketing of grain and meats to the value of $30,000,000 and the release of that amount of dammed up cash for employment in the country for tha handling of tha new crop. It means easier times for the merchant, tha manufacturer and for the men who are engaged in carrying property in all its forms, from the producer to the consumer. It means the liberation of a large amount of tied-up capital.

Has Come for the Banks.

The First national bank was the first in the Held to import gold direct. The Bank of Nova Scotia was next and the Illinois trust and savings third. All these banks have been notified of the arrival of gold in this city, and within ten days or two weeks the total received here from that source by banks will approximate $6,000,000, as before stated. In addition thereto Armour & Co. will get $500,000, the Albert Dickinson Seed company $70,000 and a great many other commercial establishments in the export trade varying sums ranging from $10,000 to 8100,000. A leading warehouseman has borrowed 1200,000 in gold in I'aris to carry wheat. He found it cheaper to get the money in France than in Chicago. The gold will be shipped next week and will arrive in time for employment in "financing" a stock of wheat around the sharp corner that obtrudes itself into view September 1. This is the first gold known to have been arranged for in that quarter, but as the Bank of England is putting up the bars a little, the immense hoard of yellow metal in the Bank of Franca may be drawn upon liberally in the future.

Money Coining Out of Vaults. Ona of the foatures that distinguish returning confidence is the reappearance of money that has boen in concealment in safety vaults and other searet places of deposit. Tlrls phase of affairs is already noticeable. People are bringing their hoarded funds into the light again. Tho money is going into chcap property, and the display on the bargain counters is less formidable. A great lot of money is going into aheap stocks, chcap bonds, cheap grain and cheap provisions these times.

It Is "Catching."

On the board of trade and on the looal stock exchange commission mon and brokers reported a sudden and vory marked increase in outside invest ment interest. People at home and throughout the oountry are be^innin,,' to display revived interest in investments and to make inquiries as to the best place to put a little money to get the most remunerative returns. It ssems to be recognized as a fact that the bargains are being absorbed and that in order to obtain good things a ccrtain degree ot aotivity is necessary. This sort of thing, when itlsgenuinc, is "catching." It is in the air, and travels as fast as light The public knows the symptoms and cannot bedeoeived by any spurious or mock demonstration. It knows now that the tide has turned and that the country is on the mend. The manifestations are of daily and hourly occurrence.

New York, Too, Feels Hauler. New York, like Chicago, is working into an easier frame of mind. The early arrival In that oity of a great lot of gold is beginning to be discounted. Friday a goodly sum of "time money" was offered publicly. This is the first time that has happened in months. Call money could only be obtained by special dispensation, and now for time money to be offered on the market fairly takes away the breath. It savors of a return to better times without delay.

A SICK RULER.

President Cleveland's Health In Poor Gondltion.

HE IS IN NEED OF ABSOLUTE REST.

Ailing from Ithenmatlsiu and Nervousness, He Leaves fur liuszanl's Bay to lleoupermte—An Address to the Public.

MK. CLEVELAND ILL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. President Cleveland left Washington Friday morning a sick man. lie wants rest and quiet, and abovo all things freedom from public business. Whilo various stories wera afloat, there was no disposition among those who knew of the facts to deny that Mr. Cleveland has been suffering under a great nervous strain, and that for him to remain in Washington would have been fraught with peril. The decision that he should leave for Buzzard's Bay was reaohed Tuesday, before he. sent his message to congress. There is therefore nothing in the story that he was fretted by the criticism on the message, or by the failure of congress to act upon it immediately.

The truth is, that after his arrival Saturday it was felt that he was in no condition to attend to public business. He held a cabinet meeting that day and repared immediately thereafter to his country home. Sinoe then the only persons who havo seen him at Woodley were Secretaries Carlisle, Qresham and Lamont,two or thrae congressional friends, and his brother, Rov. William Cleveland.

Off for Buxaards's Bay.

Thursday night after sunset the pres-, ident drove in from his country home. He had spent the afternoon with Secretary Qresham going over some International matters concerning which it was important that he should know the details. He spent the night in the white house, his presence being known only to the members of the household.

Friday morning at sunrise he was up and was joined by Secretary Lamont. The president and Mr. Lamont were driven to the Pennsylvania depot, where a private car was in readiness. It was attaohed to the regular express for Jersey City, whioh left at 7:80 clock. lie Makes a Statement.

The president has known tor several days that his inability or unwillingness to see leading members of his own party was causing some anxious comment as to the state of his health. To quiet apprehension and at the same time to let it be known that there was good reason for his not remaining in Washington he himself wrote out a statement. This was not given out by Private Secretary Tliurbcr until late Friday afternoon. The following is the statement prepared by President Cleveland: "My absence from the cnpitul at this time •lay eicite some surprise In view of my Intense Interest In the subjeel now awaiting the iledetcrmlnatlon of oongress. Though my views and recommendations have already been efUolally submitted 10 that body, and though I am by no means certain that I could aid In bringing about the result which seems so neccssary. it would give satisfaction to me if I could remain at the scene of action. But whether I am here or eiaowhore, 1 shall look with hope ana confldence to the uo tloo of lliose upon whom the responsibility now rests of relioving our pcoplo from their present dangers and difficulties. I am going back 10 my suinmor home at the sea shore because I am not sufficiently rusted from the strain to which I have been subjected since the 4th of March to fit me agnin to assume the duties and labors which await me here. 1 have been counseled by those whose advice I cannot dluregnrd that the further rest I contemplate is absolutely necessary to my health and strength. 1 shall remain away during the month of August, nnd shall dovote myself to rest and outdoor rccreation. My day's doings will be devoid of Interest to the public, aud I shall be exceedingly pleased if 1 onn bo freed from the attention ol newspaper correspondents."

Mope It Will lie Keassuring. It is possible that this statement, ao unusual as coming from a president, may reassure those who have been fearful that the president was breaking down. When Mr. Cleveland when to Gray Oables the latter part of June for several days there wer.g alarming rumors about his health. The efforts of the newspapers to learn the facts, it is stated, gave him great annoyance, and his desire now is that the publio bo satisfied the next few weeks with the knowlodge that he"left Washington in order to gain rest and strength.

Ills Alluieiit*

Wh'le I he president speaks of the strain of his official duties as the cause of his prostration ha doas not refer to rheumatic troubles which have made inroads on his magnificent constitution. In former years Mr. Cleveland stood sieges of officeholders and the pressure of public business fully as great as that to which he has been subjected since March •». He was like a man of iron and he could work eighteen hours out of tho twenty-four without a sign of fatigue. Tho faot that he can no longer stand such pressure is taken as a sign that his general health is not so good. Last fall duriug the campaign there was a period when he was in a condition of nervous irritability said to be not unlike that from whioh he is now suffering. His trusted friends and party leaders who went to Gray* Gables to oonsult with him remarked upon it, and some of them made their apprehensions known. When he went to New York and entered into the cam

paign all this disappeared, and those close to him thought that the symptoms they had believed to exist were imaginary.

Plagned by Offlceseekers.

After tho inauguration Mr. Cleveland stood the siege of offlceseekers till lie could bear it no longer, and then he issued his order barring tho white house to them. From that time on he was able to attend to public business without constant interruption. When he left Washington in June it was known that he was pretty-well tired out, but those close to him believed that a few weeks'stay at the seashore would restore him completely to health.

The last three weeks of his stay at Buzzards Bay he waa absolutely free from annoyance, and there were no re ports oonoerning his health which it was necessary for the newspapers to seek to learn tha facts. Nevertheless, when he returned to Washington last Saturday it was noticed that his vacation had seemingly done him little good. Ha was apparently carrying more flesh than ever, and walking aeemed difficult for him.

The national capital at this season is about the most unhealthy place in the country, and the unhealthy spell lasts until well into September. The president's decision not to remain here any longer than was absolutely neccssary for the transmission of his message to congrcss and the closing up of the most important public business is generally commended. There are only two or three members of tho cabinet in the city. Secretaries Carlisle and Gresham and Postmaster General Kissel 1 left for Deor Park Friday afternoon.

TOI'KKA, Kan., Aug. 12.—Flora Mundas, a notorious female horse thief, shot and fatally wounded Deputy United States Marshal William Whitemaster, who was pursuing her through the Cherokee strip.
