COCKRELL OBJECTS.

The Missouri Senator Delays Consideration of the Voorhees Bill.

A DAY OF MUCH TALK IN THE SENATE.

Senator Wolcott Defends Silver—Senator Huar Discuss e* the Financial QOMUOD —Several Speeches Hade In j, the House.

VOORHEES PRESENTS HIS BILL. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—In the senate Tuesday Senator Gordon (dem. Qa.) recalled a plank in the last democratic platform by presenting1 a measure to suspend for ninety days the law imposing a 10 per cent tax on state bank Issues. lie declared It would give relief to the country In fifteen days and make It possible to remove the immense cotton crop in the south. The senator asked its reference to the finance committee and said he would demand a report, yea or nay, on the measure at an early day.

Voorhees* National Bank Bill. Senator Voorhees (dem. Ind.) reported back from the finance committee the national bank bill introduced by him Monday. The senator made a short speech, a synopsis of which follows:

The bill, be said, bad not only tht Indorsement of tbo committee on finance and the secretary of the treasury, but a similar measure bad passed the senate nnanlmously last session. He did not by any manner of means proclaim tbe measure as one of entire relief, but be looked upon It as a measure of relief. It would to some extent help the people. It authorized an Increase of 910,000,000 on the bonds already deposited, and there was not a doubt that It would result In an Incrnase of from 140,000,000 to KW,000,000— an Increase of currenoy that would be at this time a sotaco and comfort to the people In every Quarter of tho United State* If there had been reasons heretofore to? the passage of a like bill those reasons were magnified now a hundred fold. He sincerely hoped that practically without discussion the senate would do to-day In the face of peril what it had done heretofore for aa laorease of the circulating medium. Tbe national banks were no favorites of his. He had not been enamored of them nor they of him, but that was no reason why they should not be used to bring about a measure of relief If they are capable of It. In this instance be believed that tbey had power to do good anu he desired to a uthorlze thorn to render a measure of relief to the people.

Cockrell Objected.

Senator CooIcrell (dem. Mo.) objected to the Immediate consideration of the measure, and under the rules the bill wont over for a day.

Senator Cockrell asked tho senate to consider and pass the house joint resolution for the payment of mileage to senators and representatives for the present session. Senator Peffer (pop. Kan.) objected, and the resolution went to the calendar.

Senator Voorhees then introduced a joint .resolution extending for six months the bonded period for wlflsky in government warehouses.

Senator Lodge Wants Action. Tho resolution offered last Tuesday by Senator Lodge (rep. Mass.) directing the committee on finance to report at once a bill to repeal the purchasing clauses of the Sherman act, and that a vote bo taken on such repeal on Tuesday, the 22d Inst., was laid before the senate, and Senator Lodge made an argument in advocacy of it What the people wanted, he said, was prompt action. He had no mind for party politics or delay. He asked simply for action-

Wolcott Replies to Lodge.

Senator Wolcott (rep. Col.) replied to Senator Lodge. He agreed with the Massachusetts senator that this was not a party question. In order, however, that the repeal of an existing law should bring relief it would be necessary to show that the law had inflicted Injury. He had yet to hear a single intelligent man state, on his conscience, that he believed that the Sherman act had wrought the injury under which the country now suffered. He had yet to hear a single man of experience in financial matters or in public affairs say that the unfortunate financial crisis through which the country was passing had anything to do with the Sherman act. The senator oontinued:

Everyone would admit that the Sherman act was vlolous In principle and Illogical. It was vlolous In that It made of silver a commodity. It wa* Illogical and vicious In that It left tho silver bullion In the treasury unoolncd, left It wbere It might be dumped on the European markets at any time. These were its disadvantages but It had some advantages. Its quasi-reoognltlon of silver had been of Infinite value In the hope which It had Inspired of bimetallism, and In tbe fUct that It had afforded an enlarged currency from month to month for the past three years.

Even in the last few months the Sherman act had saved the country from Infinitely greater disasters than It had undergone. It had given tbe country a currency, as stated by Senator Chandler (N. R), backed by the credit of the government and by the silver at Its bullion value. That was a protty good currency. It was perhaps a little better eurronoy than the 137,500,M0of clearing house certificates now In circulation In New York, backed enly by a rciliscounted paper and hold by people who wore nMr clamoring for the ropeal of the Sherman act.

Real Causes of tbe Panic.

Tbe senator from Massachusetts had said that after the repeal of tbe Sherman act confidence would come back to the country. How would It como back and where from? Would It como from the laboring classes, from tbe farmers, from tho mlnerpf The repeal of tho Sherman act would not bring confidence tONlhem. Would-It bring confidence to tbo banks. Tbe banks did not want confidence In the money of tbe country, but they wantod tho money of other people. The banks wunted some legislation that wou'.d Induce the poor people who had withdrawn their money from the banks to bring It back. That brought him, ho said, to the real cause of the present existing financial panic. It had come partly be-' cause of European losses in South America and Australia, partly bocause Russia and Austria were buying gold and partly because tlio United Slates bad purchased more goods abroad than It had sold abroad. All these causes were uttorly Independent of and Irrespective of silver and the Sherman act If there had not been a dollar's worth of silver In the oountry, If there had never been a line of sliver legislation, the blight would have come exactly the same. Silver was not responsible for 1L Confidence was of slow growth, and all tho legislation that might be enacted would not bring back confidence to tho men who had withdrawn their money from the banks. Propbecy was futile, but he might be permitted to reoord hi* conviction that whon prosperous days camo back to this oountry It would bo after It bad anuounced to the world that this was a nation of blmoulllsts believing in hurd mouey—both gold and silver.

Heuator Hoar Addresees the Senate. At tho closc of Senator Wolcott's

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

0RAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1H. 18937

speech the Lodge resolution was laid aside without action and Senator Hoar (rep. Mass.) addressed the senate on Senator Vest's resolution as to bimetal* llsm.

Senator Boar, proceeding to* general discussion of the question, said that while moa on each side of the chamber might differ as to tho oause of the present flnanolal depression he hoped that all oould agreo upon the remedy. The republicans stood ready to hold up the -hands el the president and restore that prosperity which the country enjoyed down to Haroh 4. 1891 If any man desired to decrease tho purchasing power of a dollar In order that his Investments might lead to greater benefits he would be hurled from power and burled in Infamy hy the people of the oountry. The people of bis own seotlon, New England, held the prosperity of the people of the west as deal as their own, and believed that what was wanted all over the oountry was not a fluctuating standard of value, but a fixed one. The resources of tbe west were In alliance with the wealth of the east?»nd the one would perish without the other. Rabid utteranoes on the flnanolal question, whether from the east or th* west, same from unAmerloan and unpatrtotls sources. Upon both sides men were equally honest and slnoere, and, he believed, desired the same thing. Senator Hoar then entered upon along discussion concerning the produotlon of gold and silver, during which he announced himself In favor ot both these metals as currenoy on a parity."

A Banning Debate.

A the close o* Senator Hoar's speech a discussion started as to the old question of responsibility (or the demonetization of silver and was carried on for some time by Senators Stewart, Cockrell, Aldrich, Hoar and Sherman. Finally after a brief executive session the senate adjourned.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.— After prayer and the reading and approval of the journal before a small attendance of members Mr.'Burrows (rep., Mich.) offered a resolution giving Charles E. Belknap the right to contest the seat of George F. Richardson, from the Fifth district of Mlohlgan. Mr. Richardson, the sitting member, asked that the resolution be laid over and it was so ordered.

The silver debate was then resumed, Mr. Hutohlson (dem., Tex.) concluding his remarks in favor of free coinage of silver. Mr. Hutchison was followed by Mr. Blanchard (dem., La.) who spike In favor of free ooinage.

Mr. Blanchard said the Chicago platform had declared for the repeal of the Sherman law and had declared for bimetallism. That portion of the platform ought to be carried out In a single Jplll and on a blmetallio standard. If the friends of sliver yielded to this demand of the gold people they yielded that which nothing but revolution could regain. If the purpose of the gold people was achieved the mints would be stopped to tho coinage of silver, and no method was proposed to replace silver with other currency. The United States had reached a point in wealth, prosperity and industry that It could afford to lead and not follow.

Orosvenor Attaoks the President. Mr. Orosvenor (rep. O.) said: It was to be regretted the president In his message to congress had not been so void of partisanship as ho bad asked the two houses to be. It was unfortunate that th* executive of the oountry had seen fit first to appeal to partisanship and unjustly proolalm to the people that tho present peril of the country grew out of tbe legislation of tbo republican party. The president had deolared that republicans had been responsible for the present condition of «dalrs and this declaration would be tbe origin of political discussion, If political discussion there should be. Very little of tbe present trouble could be traced to tbo Sherman act. The difficulty In which the country now found tteelf was attributable to tbe fact that the people feared tinkering with the protective tariff by the democratic party.. The democrat* come now to attempt to do what the republicans had attempted to do thirty years ago. The democrats were calling upon th* republican* to stand by honest money. For thirty years the republicans kad stood by honest money and they had not lived In vain. The democrats wer* oamplng to-night were the republicans had camped thirty years ago. He warned the democrat* that they must come together on thl* question. The republicans could be relied upon to do their duty. This was their oountry, and th«y could not afford to put It in a hole.

HAILSTORM IN KANSAS.

Great Damage to Crops and House*— Farmer and HI* Son Fatally Hurt. TOPBKA, Kan., Aug. 10.—Goodland, in the northwestern portion of Kansas, was visited Monday by the most severe hailstorm recorded in the state's history. It covered an area of 8 miles Bquare. The stones averaged the Bize of base balls. The roof of a part of the R. W. Flnley mill building is covered with corrugated Iron, through which the hail tore its way. At over fifty places shingle roofs were crushed. A thousand roof lights of glass fiveeighths of an inch thick were destroyed In the Rock Island shops. Fifty head of cattle and twenty-five head of horses were beaten to death by tho hailstones. A farmer by the name of Wood, with his two sons, was caught in the storm and frightfully bruised. The father and one of the boys will die.

Think'It I* Illegal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The paying of weekly wages In chocks, resorted to last week by several firms and corporations doing business In this city, was not altogether a success. It saved the firms a premium for the currency necessary to meet the weekly pay rolls, but it subjected employes to many hardships. Corporations are required by law to pay wages In cash. In the opinion of many high legal authorities the same law is applicable in these cases and It is possible the question may be brought up in court if tho practice be continued.

Wage* Oat Down.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 16.—The thousands of employes of the Great Northern railway system are wearing long faces, President Hill having ordered tho monthly pay-roll out from $000,000 to about 1860,000. A oircular letter has been Issued to each of the officers and employes of the road notifying them of the reduction. Actual and anticipated reductions in traffic, caused by prevailing financial and business conditions, are given aa the cause.

Robber* Loot a Cheese Factory, MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.—Threo robbers entered the Morrlstown (Brown county) cheese factory and compelled the proprietor, F. C. Singer, to deliver up 11,300, two gold watches and a revolver.

IPLR WHEELS TURN AGAIX. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 10.—The outlook in the iron and steel trade is brighter than at any time since the closing of the mills for annual repairs and since the shortage of currency began. At Jones •& Lauglilln's several departments have resumed operation, and 600 additional men were givexr employment. Arrangements are in progress for resumption in the steel department In a few days. The report that the wages of the men not affected by the amalgamated Bcale would be reduced 10 per cent, is not true. Both of Carnegie's local mills and the Beaver Falls plant will be in operation this week, as will also probably be Zug & Co.'s works. The Braddock wire works, at Rankin Station, started up Monday after two months' idleness, giving employment to 700 men. A number of departments of the National tube works resumed Sunday, and the National rolling mill will be started Wednesday. Next Monday the Black Diamond steel works will start up in all departments. The works were running about half time and shut down last Saturday, but when the resumption takes place the full quota of 4,000 men will be employed. Thesr* mills will give employment to upward of 15,000 men.

PROVIDENCE, R. I., Aug. 14.—-The score of cotton mills owned and operated by B. B. and R. Knife, of this city, and located In Rhode Island and Massachusetts, started up Monday morning after having been stopped a week. The plant operates nearly 450,000 spindles and upward of 11,000 looms, employes 8 000 operatives, and has a weekly pay roll of 150,000.

Bank Doors Are Open.

KANSAS Cur, Mo., Aug. 10.—The Armourdale bank at Armourdale, which suspended business In the financial crash one month ago, reopened its doors and resumed business Tuesday morning. No anxiety was expressed by any of tho depositors who had money tied up in the bank. The officers announce that they have ample funds to pay every dollar of deposits in the bank.

FORT SCOTT, Kan., Aug. 10. The First national bank of this cjty, which suspended July 18, has resumed business. Bank Examiner W. A. Latimer, of Sedalia, Mo., has issued a notice to the depositors stating that the institution is in splendid financial shape, and while, like other banks, it cannot stand a run, it is perfectly worthy of the confidence of the people.

MORE RAIN IS NEEDED.

The Drought Effectually Broken in Only a Few Places. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The weekly telegraphic crop report of the weather bureau says: Drought conditions continue over portions of northern Pennsylvania, southern and western New York, West Virginia, central and southern Ohio, northern Michigan, portions of Illinois and Wisconsin. Drought has been partially relieved In Indiana, southern Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraskcand the Dakotas, and has been effectually broken In portions of Iowa, although much rain is still needed in many sections of that state. In Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana there has been too much rain for cotton and the erop has suffered from excessive rains in portions of South Carolina and Mississippi.

Better Business Situation In Mexico. CITY or MEXICO, Aug. 10.—Railway earnings on the Mexican road (Vera Cruz) for the thirtieth week of the current year are $57,324.71, against $50,240.07 for the corresponding period of 1892. The general tone here among business men is more hopeful. The banks continue to do well and all the large houses sustain the financial shock without apparent difficulty. All eyes are turned to the United States in the matter of silver.

Cyclone In Nebraska.

HUMBOLDT, Neb., Aug. 10.—This section was struck by a cyclone Tuesday night The farm house of G. Schultz was unroofed and all the buildings leveled. Mr*. Schultz was fatally and her 12-year-old son seriously injured.

PAWNEE CITY, Neb., Aug. 10.—A destructive cyclone passed diagonally across Pawnee county Tuesday. It demolished the residence of John Turnbull and those of several of his neighbors. Many wore Injured.

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 10.—Leading bankers of St. Paul and Minneapolis have approved a plan to issue clearing houso certificates whii-h could be loaned to the buyers of wheat to be used in payment to farmers, and of freights and charges to railways. Cooperation of banks, the farmers and the railways must be securod. The plan seems the best solution of the problem as to how the 100,000,000 bushels of new wheat are to be moved.

Three Cattlemen Reported Rilled. DENVER, Col., Aug. 10.— It is reported from Rifle, Col., that war has broken out between the cattlemen ani the sheepmen and three cattlemen liavo been killed.

ABSOLUTELY PURB AT LAST.

A Decision Has Been Reached In the Behring Sea Oase. i-'-r

A SYNOPSIS OF ITS PROVISIONS.

It I* Very Much In England's Favor oa International Law Points, But Pelaglo Sealing Is Practically Prohibited—

SIxty-MUe Limit Established.

ARBITRATORS ANNOUNCE THEIR VIEWS. PARIS, Aug. LFL.—The Behring sea court of arbitration on Tuesday rendered its decision in the dispute between the United States and Great Britain Concerning seal fishing. The decision is in favor of Great Britain upon every point of real dispute, although it is freely stated by those in Interest that in securing the 60-mile limit and the practical prohibition of pelagic sealing the United States have gained the great result toward which effort was bent—protection .of seals during the breeding season. 4

The Decision.

In a general way tho tribunal rejects the claim of the United States that the Behring sea is a mare clausum and denies to the United States exclusive property rights in the seal fisheries. On the other hand, the arbitrators Bustain positively the contention of the United States that pelagic sealing should be stopped and that the seal herds should be protected from extermination by poachers. To effect this end the tribunal rules that there shall be maintained a closed season, beginning May 1 and ending July 21, during which no seals may be killed. This prohibition applies not only to Behring sea, but to the north Paclfio ocean. To save the seals from slaughter at their breeding places in the Pribylov islands a protective zone extending 00 miles around the islands is established, and sealing outside this zone is to be permitted only after August 1. Further protection from Indiscriminate slaughter Is provided in the prohibition by the terms of the decision of the use of firearms by sealtakers.

Each fur-sealing vessel must be provided with a special license issued for the purpose by its government and must carry a distinguishing flag prescribed by its government An accurate account must be kept by vessel masters of the date and place of each operation, and the number and sex of seals captured daily. These regulations are to remain in force until abolished by mutual agreement between the governments of the United States and Groat Britain, and they shall be submitted every five years lor examination in order that both governments may consider whether, in the light of past experience, there is necessity tc make any modification therein.

Arbitrators make a special finding on the facts agreed upon by the agents of both governments with reference to tho seizure of British vessels in Behring sea in 1887 and 1889. In addition the arbitrators make certain suggestions to the two governments, the most Important being that they should come to an understanding to prohibit the killing of sea's on land or sea for a period of from one to three years, and should enact regulations to carry out the findings of the arbitrators.

Uncle Sam's Contentions.

The contentions of the United States as to its exclusive jurisdiction In Behring sea, acquired from Russia by the purchase of Alaska, and its property rights in the seal fisheries are contained in the following five points of article 0 of the treaty creating the tribunal of arbitration: 1. What exclusive jurisdiction In the sou now known as Behring sea and what exclusive rights in the seal fisheries therein did Russia assert and exercise prior and up to tbe time ol the ccsslon of Alaska to the United States! i. How far %ere these claims of Jurisdiction as to the

Real

fisheries recognized and conceded

by Great Britain? S. Was the body of water now known as the Behring sea lucluded In the phras6 "Pacific ocean," us used In tho treaty of 1825 Ixitween Great Britain and Russlu and what rights. If any, in tbe Dchrlng sea were bold and exclusively exercised by Russia after said treaty! 4. Old not all the rights of Kussia as to jurisdiction and as to the seal fisheries in Behring sea, east of the water boundary, in the treaty between the United States and Kussia of the 30th of March, 1607, pass unimpaired to the United States under that trearty? 5. Has the United States any right, and If so what right, of protection of property in the fur seals frequenting the Islands of the United States In Behring sea when such seals are found outside the ordinary Smile llmltt

Seal* Must Be Protected.

While tho tribunal rejocts the categorical proposition of property contained in the fifth point, it admits by implication the assertion by the United States as to tho urgent necessity of protecting tho seals outside the 8-milo limit It decrees, however, that this protection shall be by international agreement rather than by awarding to the United States either exclusive jurisdiction or police powers. Tho decision establishes for the seul fisheries the conditions and imposes on the scalers the restrictions which, usidc from the questions of exclusive jurisdiction and property rights, made up the important points of the American case. The seal industry is thus preserved from the destru otlon that threatened it

Our Arbitrator* Satisfied.

The American arbitrators, E. J. Phelps, of Vermont and Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said after the adjournment 01 the tribunal that they

were satisfied with the terms of the decision. The action of the tribunal means the end of pelagic sealing, the Americans say, and they add that the terms made by the decision of the tribunal are more favorable to the United States than those offered by Great Britain as a settlement of the dispute.

Satisfactory to Ure&t Britain. LONDON, Aug. lfl.—Mr. Gladstone announced in the house of commons that his advices from Paris were that with a few exceptions the Behring sea tribunal awards were satisfactory to British interests.

The Pall Mall Gazette says that in view of the decision the United States

will compensate the Canadian sobers whose vessels were seized illegally, and that the regulations adopted by the tribunal for seal catching are very stringent
