FIGURING UP.

A.ntl-Silver Forces Claim a Majority for Unconditional Repeal.

OPPONENTS UNWILLING TO ADMIT IT.

Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, Makes a Brilliant Speech In Favor of the White Metnl—Proceedings of the Day to the Senate*

FORCES CONFER.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—The executive committee of the anti-silver forces in the house appointed at the conference Tuesday night held a meeting Wednesday afternoon for consultation. A poll of the house has been practically completed by the canvassers in the Interest of the antl-sllver faction, which is said by one of the leaders to show a majority of 87 in favor of unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause a»_ provided in the Wilson bill. Mi*. Harter estimates that if the houso successfully passes what he calls the danger point of the voto on free coinage at the ratio of 80 to the majority for the Wilson bill, which will present the naked question of repeal or no repeal, will be 100 more. On the other hand, Mr. Bland says there are representatives who may vote against the coinage of silver at any specified ratio who will not vote to wholly abolish the use of silver as a money metal, which would be the effect, he says, of the passage of the Wilson bill.

Mr. Iiarter's doubt as to the result of the vote on the proposition to coin silver at a ratio of 20 to 1 is said to be due to information conveyed to the antisilver executive committee that there are upward of forty republicans who will vote for establishing coinage at that ratio. Mr. Bland, however, believes that the ratio of 10 to 1 will be stronger in the house than any other, despite the reported forty republican votes for 20 to 1. The repeal democrats readily concede that they must have republican votes to succeed and have asked republicans to come to their aid In tho discussion now progressing.

Mr. Bryan fipoak*.

WASHINGTON, Aug*. 17.—In the house, after the adoption of a resolution calling- on the secretary of the treasury for information respecting silver purchases, the debate on the Wilson bill, to repeal the silver purchase act, was resumed. Mr. Bryan (dem., Neb.) said among other things that the recommendations of the president meant the burial of silver with no promise of resurrection. They were an argument for the single gold standard. They led to gold nonometallism, over whose door was written: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." The advocates of-eil-ver stood on solid ground and denounced this cry that a gold dollar was tho only solid dollar. They denounced the gold dollar as the most dishonest dollar ever attempted to bo forced upon the people.

There Is No Honest Dollar. He concluded: "There Is no such thing as an honest dollar, beoause an honest dollar would always have the same purchasing power, and the government has never attempted to securo absolute stability In the dollar. The most dishonest dollar ever proposed Is that child of avarice and Ignorance called the gold dollar, tor It would constantly rise in value and cheat the debtor. While we cannot secure an absolutely honest dollar we should approach It as nearly as possible, and the bimetallic standard ought to be adopted, because with bimetallism the money^unlt fluctuates less than under a single standard.

Tho Miner fcot Unfair*

"The miner is not unfair in asking for free ooinage, for such a law cannot give baok to him any more than demonetization took away. But the miner's interest is an incidental one. He profits by the use of silver as money just as the gold miner profits by the use of gold as money or just as an undertaker profits by the aotlon ot the county in burying a pauper at publio expense, it makes a market for his goods.

Not the Cause of Stringency^ '•The Sherman law is not the cause of our financial stringency. The moneyed men of the east, without Intention, of course, started the panio by exaggerating the dangers of gold exportation. When the panio came they were injured as much as anybody else. The trouble now is that depositors have withdrawn their money from fear of the banks, and a repeal of the Sherman law will not Increase the solvency of banks. The Sherman law provides for a large annual Increase in the currency, which Is absolutely necessary. It also keeps up the price of silver bullion and makes the return to bimetallism easier. "The silver men were called cranks and lunatics and IdioU because they saw danger ahead of them: because in tho adoption ot a universal standard they saw disaster not only to our people but to all the world. The men from the west, were roundly dcnouncod in the east as anarchists and destroyers of the government The man who said that the people should destroy the government was called an anarchist, but the man who said the government should destroy the people was oalled a patriot" [Applause.]

Was the President Right?

Then Mr. Bryant spoke in favor of tho retention of the ratio of 10 to 1, arguing that an increase of that ratio would be detrimental to an internanational agreement as to the ooinage of the two metals, and continued as follows:

The question was not whether the president was honest or not The quostlon was whether he was right [Applause.] The president had won the confidence of the people but he had been deceived. He had said In his message that the people demanded the repeal of the Sherman act He had heard from the boards of trade and from the chambers of commerce, but he had not heard from the farmers or tho men In the workshops: and he could no more judge of tho opinion of tho poople than ho could measure the ocean's depth by the fcam on the occun's wave.

Hetween Conflicting Forces* "The democratic party stands to-day between two conflicting forces. On the one side stand thn corporate interests of the United Staies, the monoyed Interests, aggregated wealth and capital, Imperious, arrogant, oompassionless. They are able to subscribe magnificently to cam* paign funds. They are able to crush with their all-pervading Influence any who may dare op* pose, and to those who fawn and flatter they can briu# oase and plonty. These demand that the democratic party shall become the agent to execute their merciless decrees. "On the other side stand an unnumbered throng, those who have given to the democratic party a uame, and for whom it has assumed to speak. Work-worn and dust-begrlmed they make their mute appeal, and too often find their ory for help beat in vain against the outer walls, white others, less desorving, gain ready access to legislative halls. This army, vast and daily vaster growing, pleads with the democratic party to bo its champion in this terrible conflict It oannot press its claims amid sounds of revelry it cannot march its phalanxes iu tho

grand parade. No gaudy bannors float upon tho breezo. Its battle hymn is 'Home, Sweet Home

1

its war cry 'Equality before the law.* 'Between those forces, hesitating, in doubt whloh side to turn, yel conscious that upon iu decision must rest its fate, stands the democratic party, and to it, standing thus, come the woids of Israel's second law-giver: 'Choose ye this day whom yo will serve.'''

Time Yet to Win.

The president was elected upon a platform thrice pledged to the gold and silver coinage of the constitution. Nine-tenths of the people of the United States are ready to sustain him in the fight, but In tho faco of an enemy bold and insolent he has ordered a retreat Let him not be dismayed. There is timo yet to win the battle if he will but order a charge. Will the party stand by the principles of Joffcrson and Jaoksonor will it abandon Its right to its name? Will it choose life or death—which?

Speeches were wade by Mr. Henderson (rep. la.), who said that in his opinion the free coinage of silver would drive this country to a »ilvor basis and would eliminate from our circulation the 1504,000,000 of gold now circulating in the United States, and by Mr. Moses (dem. Ga.), who spoke against the re-, peal bill and opposed the proposition to raise th« standard from 16 to 1 to 20 to" 1. The house then, at '5 o'clock, adjourned.

Senate*

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.— In the senate, Senator Voorhees (dem. Ind.) gave notice that he would not ask action then on the biU to allow national banks to increase their circulation to the par value of the bonds deposited by them, but that he would do so Thursday. Thereupon an amendment to that bill was offered by Senator Cockrell (dem., Mo.) authorizing the secretary of the (treasury to redeem (at par and accrued interest) such of the 8 per cent, bonds as may be presented for redemption, and to pay for them in new legal tender uotes.

This proposition appeared to Senator Sherman (rep., O.) as unwise and unbusinesslike, and he stated the objections which occurred to him against the amendment. This precipitated a discussion, in which Senator Cockrell ridiculed the idea of letting the national banks Increase their circulation while his proposition to Inorease the greenback circulation wa* opposed by the senator from Ohio, the friend and supporter of national banks, and the great gold monometal

Senator Berry (dem., Ark.) then addressed the senate in advocacy of the double standard of gold and silver.

DISLIKED BY GRESHAM.

Finding. In the Retiring Sea ORI. Unsatisfactory at Washington. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Secretary Gresham is said to be dissatisfied with the findings of the Behring sea tribunal In regard to the regulations established, aud it is understood that his views are shared by other cabinet officers. The regulations are interpreted to mean that the United States will have entailed on them the cost and worry of patrolling Behring sea without benefit to its sealers, while Russia, Japan and perhaps other nations reap a harvest, the regulations being binding only on Great Britain and this country. It Is not likely that any definite policy respecting the guardian ship of the sea will be outlined until the opening of the first season next year, because bad weather will put an end to the operations of the sealers in about two weeks. The restrictions placed on sealers with reference to firearms, nets, explosives and steam vessels will have the effect, it is believed, of causing Canadian sealers to resort to desperate methods to seoure good catchcs and much poaching is feared. In the close season, during the months of May, June and July, both Great Britain and the United States will be obliged to maintain a fleet of naval vessels to keep poachers from the sealing waters, and it is believed at the navy department that this will result in the establishment of a permanent Behring sea squadron for duty during the three months named. The United States will also be obliged to maintain a watch on the waters within the 60-mlle zone around the Pribyloff islands during the entire mild season from the 1st of April to the 1st of September, and it is probable that this duty will be discharged by vossels of the revenue marine servico.

THROUGH A BRIDGE.

Passenger Coaches Plunge Sixty Feet Into a Creek.

A TERRIBLE DISASTER IN VIRGINIA.

Seven Persons Lose Their Lives and Number of Others Are injured by tho 8urtdcn Collapse of a Trestle —Story of the Wreck.

SEVEN WKBK KILLED.

DANVILLE, Va., Aug. 17.—An awful accident occurrcd at the county lice trestle just east of Milton Wednesday morning at 2:50 o'clock by which two passenger coaches and a sleeper were precipitated into the oreek below, a distance of 80 feet, killing seven persons outright and wounding a number of others. The train bound for Portsmouth left hero at 1:85 Wednesday morning and was tho regular train.

Felt the Bridge Give Way.

After passing through Milton and going over the trestle the engineer, Peyton Tunstal, who says he was running at the rate of 10 miles an hour, felt the bridge giving way. He threw open the throttle and the engine, tender and a box car got safely over, but the first passenger car was too late and tho span went down under its weight, the second passenger car and sleeping car following.

Many Miraculous Escapes.

The cars were shivered into kindling wood and the escape of any of the passengers was a miracle. The water in the oreek had risen to the depth of 12 or more feet, and It is tho general belief that the rise had undermined the foundation of the under pieces, causing the trestle to settle.

The Victim..

The following is the list of the killed and wounded: KILLED.—H. Morris, conductor. Portsmouth. Va. W. H. Klllbon, Alton, Va.: J. O. Da vies, a farmer of Ba.kervlllo, Va. W. H. Elam. of Durham, N. C. James S. I .owe, a railroad conductor from the west, who was a passenger: Thomas Lee (colored), of Winston, N. C. Francis Jenkins (colored), of Salem, N. C.

WotJNDKD-Mrs. Harvey Qtorsch, of Salem, N. O., slightly: j. L. Slser, of Richmond, Va., Pullman conduotor, foot mashed and hurt slightly Inside: J. R. Townes, oolored porter of the Pullman, slightly bruised about tho body: Davis, flagman, hurl about tho head and face and foot sprained.

None of the injured is seriously hurt. The dead were removed to the railroad depot at Milton, where they were kept until the arrival of the coroner from Halifax Court House, the accident occurring on the Halifax side of the creek. The loss was very heavy to the railroad company as the cars and a full span of the bridge are a total loss.

CYCLONE IN NEBRASKA.

Many Building. Torn Down Only One Person Seriously Burt, But Several Badly Bruised—Oreat Destruction of Property In the Path of the Storm.

TABLE ROCK, Neb., Aug. 17.—The cyclone Tuesday was more destructive than the first accounts indicated. Its general course was northeast and gained force enough to do damage 4 miles south of Pawnee City. The track was not more than 100 feet wide, but managed to strike a number of buildings, demolishing two houses and greatly damaging two others, besides windmills, barns and sheds. Only one person was seriously hurt, but a number of children had bad bruises. Mrs. F. L. Craig received a severe out from flying timbers, laying open tho flesh of the thigh to the bone. Being a fleshy woman her oondition is critical. The family had observed the storm coming, and running out of the houso had reached the garden, where they lay flat until it* fury was (pent. The house was a fine two-story one, belonging to a man in Pawnee City, and was blown entirely to pieces, one of the sides landing at least 200 feet from the foundation.

The storm began about a mile and a half to the southeast of Mr. Craig's at about 4:30 and destroyed the residence of John Turnbull, carrying it entirely away. A part of the floor was lifted up bodily and carried with it the cradle in which was a 3-month-old baby. The baby was found iu the timber, slightly hurt. The family miraculously esoaped with a few bruisea

About an eighth of a mile northwest stood the farm buildings of Moses Irvin. The dwelling escaped but the other buildings were wrecked. The next houso was Craig's, and from thore it crossed the road to a large grove belonging to Mr. Albright, by which his dwelling stood. Tho wind turned to make a path around it, twisting off large trees, overturning the windmill, stable'and all outbuildings. It performed this very curious freak of cutting a swath around tho houso and yet did not move or damage the building. It then eontinued Its course through the grove and orchard, making Its trail plainly discernible through tho fields of oorn for 8 or 4 miles before any other bulldiDg obstructed its path. It damaged to some extent the residence of John Hunzeker and also a house oocupied by a Bohemian named Rosy, and passed on through a settlement of Bohemians on Dry Branch and toward llumboldt.

An Appeal for Bread.

N«w YORK, Aug. 17.—Wednesday afternoon 1,000 unemployed cloakmakers, clothing cutters and other workers paraded the streets. They secured a hall and there adopted resolutions declaring that monopolists of New York, Paris and London are responsible for the present misery and condition of the working masses, calling on every hungry man, woman and child to assemble in mass meeting and appeal to the public for bread, and requesting every hungry workingman not to pay any rent until the present conditions are improved.

When the party were a considerable distance from the shore their boat capsized and everybody on board of it was thrown Into tho water. The accident was witnessed from the shore, and several boats put out to the rescue. Other boats in the bay bore down on tho capsized boat, but before any of the rescuing party could get to tho place where the overturned boat was lying seventeen of the excursionists had been drowned. Some people who were clinging to tho keel of the boat and several who had kept themselves afloat were rescued.
