THE EXTRA SESSION.

Bouse Leaders Said to Favor an Early Adjournment.

TARIFF REVISION MAY BE POSTPONED.

The Senate Refuses to Admit Mantle, of Montana~~JDterestlng Debate on National Banks—The House Still

Discussing Sliver.

MAT SOON ADJOURN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Since Speaker Crisp announced the committees there has been considerable speculation as to the programme of the house and of congress when the present order covering the silver debate shall have been exhausted. The feeling that an early adjournment of the extra session is possible has strengthened since the close of last week. Chairman Wilson, of the committee on ways and means, said: "My own opinion is that the committee will prepare a general tariff bill in accordance with the declarations contained In the platform adopted at Chicago. I think It quit* probable that congress will find ltaeir In a position to adjourn somewhere about the middle of September, until the date for tbe beginning of the regular session."

In talking about the work of the appropriations committee Chairman Sayres mode similar observations. He said the estimates for 1894-5 could not be prepared until the olese of the first quarter of the current year, as they were based on the business for that period. Therefore, his committee would have no business to present until that time. HiB opinion was that the house would adjourn for three days at a time pending action on the repeal bill by the Benate and be ready to adjourn next month until the regular session,'when the committees could have a series of completed measures relating to tariff, finance and expenditures ready for consideration.

May Not Touch the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The policy of the administration in dealing with tariff reform was to some extent indicated Wednesday by Mr. Wilson, the new chairman of the ways and means committee. It is well understood that Mr. Wilson is in thorough accord with Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle on the methods of accomplishing tariff revision. Por this reason his brief and Informal Statement to the ways and means committee when it assembled for the first time was regarded as significant in outlining the desires of the administration. Mr. Wilson asked his committee colleagues to think over the methods to be pursued in dealing with the tariff so that they could compare views at their next meeting. Then he added that, so far as he was concerned, he thought no tariff legislation could be undertaken at the extra session or before the reassembling of congress in December. In his judgment the extra session would end by the middle or latter part of next month. This would permit the committee to get together during October and November, BO that a complete measure of tariff reform would be ready to submit to congress as soon as the regular session opened. The whole trend of Mr. Wilson's remarks was in the direction of starting on tariff legislation as soon as possible during the regular session, but not to touch it during the pendency of the financial question at the extra session.

Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Among the bills introduced in the Senate was one by Senator Pasco (dem., Fla.) as a substitute for the minority bill of the finance committee (proposing silver ooinage at 80 to 1). The substitute proposes a commission of three citizens of the United states to ascertain and report before January, 1894, tbe intrinsic relative value of gold and silver, and that on such report the secretary of the treasury shall fix and determine the ratio.

To Investigate National Bank,. The senate took up the resolution offered on Tuesday by Senator Feffer (pop., Kan.) calling upon the secretary of the treasury for information as to "whether and in what respect the national banks or any of them, of Boston, New York and Philadelphia are being now conducted in violation of law whether said banks are paying depositors' checks promptly in lawful money, and whether any of of them are demanding rates of interest higher than those provided by law for the loan of money or in discounting notes and bills."

The adoption of the resolution was opposed. Senator lloar (rep., Mass.) moved to refer it to the finance committee. Senator Voorhees (dem., Ind.) took the same position. Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) eloquently championed the resolution and lauded Senator Peffer for having offered it. Senator Gorman (dem., Md.) contended for the reference of the resolution, saying congress had met to afford relief to the country and not to find fault or hamper executive officers.

Senator Kyle (pop., S. D.) spoke of tlie secretary of the treasury sending information "gratuitously" to senators •lng 1 the cost of a change of a silver coinage. This insinuation was taken up by Senator White (dem., La.). The discussion ended with the information that Mr. Carlisle's letter was written by request of Senator Voorhees.

Senator Hill, with the consent of Senator Peffer, modified tbe resolution HO as to ask what facts, if any, are in the official knowledge of the secretary cf the treasury showing that national banks of New York and other cities have been conducted in violation of law. This modification* did not suit the objectors and after a long debate the resolution went to the foot of the calendar, where it can be reached only by an affirmative majority vote.

Opposed to State Bank,.

Senator Hoar (rep., Mass.) made an argument against the amendment to the national bank circulation act re pealing the 10 per cent tax on state bank circulation. He said that he was opposed to restoring to state

THE DAILY JOURNAL

banks tho power of issuing, circulating and furnishing currency. Tho people of the country were entitled to have a currency, every dollar of which should be equal to every other, and which should be (unchanging in value, so far as the wit of man could brings that to pass. That currenoy should be national. It was tho function of the national government to BOO that it was provided, It never had Been and never would B8 provided by til# States.

Mantle JRefneed a Seat.

At the close of Senator Hoar's remarks the national Draft circulation bill teas laid asldfe without action and the report of the committee on privileges and eleotlons in favor of seating Mr. Lee Mantle as senator from Montana was taken up. After some deftnte tho vote was taken on the substitute Offered by Senator Vance (dem., N. O.) declaring Mr. Mantle not entitled to the seat. The vote resulted—yeas, 29t nays, 80. So the substitute was agreed to.

Senator Manderson (Neb.), who had changed his *of# from nay to JSa in order tO make A motion W reconsider, made that motion, A motion to lay the motion to reoonslder on the table waa made by Senator Vance, but, without action on it, the senate adjourned till today, leaving the Lee Mantle case still open,

In the Hondo.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 04.—The house met at 10 o'clock and the silver debate was opened at once by C. W. Stone (rep., Pa.) who spoke for repeal, and adjured members to disregard partisan feeling in dealing with the subject. Mr. Daleell (rep., Pa.) conlendcd for the repeal Of the purchase act, and ascribed the difficulties of the present situation todemcfcratic hostility to the tariff. Mt\ Covert (dem., N. Y.) pleaded for unconditional repeal, and, comparing silver to a faithful servant fallen into bad habits, held that nothing would suffice to restore it but the gold cure

Mr. Hatch (dem.. Mo.) in speaking in favor of free coinage, advocated a caucus of tho democrats of the house and senate to interpret the Chicqgo platform every man of whom woudl pledge "his life, fortune and sacred honor" to abide by the decision.

Mr. Cummings (dem., N. Y.) who favored repeal, availed himself of the opportunity to enter upon a defense of the New York democracy against the attacks made upon it by democrats from the south. Mr. Turner (dem., Ga.) was in favor of the repeal bill, and he was also in favor of the free coinage of silver at the highest ratio that had been suggested. Mr. Coffin (dem.) and Mr. Taylor (rep., Tenn.) spoke in favor of free silver.

Mr. Maguire (dem., Cal.) spoke in opposition to unconditional repeal, and protested against hasty action and Mr. Bell (dem., Tex.) spoke in favor of bimetallism and the free coinage Of Bilver.

Mr. Hicks (rep., Pa )j while advocating the Wilson bill, attributed the present depression to the fear of democratic tinkering -with the tariff. The house then took a recesa

Cannon Surprises the Ilouse. Mr. Cannon (rep., 111.) created a sorprise by speaking against the repeal of the Sherman law. The country was in a bad condition, but he did not think that the case had been properly diagnosed. Under the Sherman act and under the Bland act there had gone into the currency $300,000,000 as good as gold, redeemable in gold and circulating side by side with gold. He wanted both metals and he wanted both to bo kept on a parity. He would let tbe purchasing clause of the Sherman law stand until the democratic side of the house would meet the republican side and,would enact a measure that would utilize all the silver in the treasury at its commercial value. He believed that this could be done. His judgment was against the Wilson bill and he would vote against it.

Speeches on Both Sides.

Mr. Turner (dem., Ga.) would vote for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law, but he would also vote for free coinage of silver at the highest ratio proposed. But he did not believe that either the repeal of the purchasing clause or the free coinage of silver would restore confidence.

Mr. Walker (rep., Mass.) said he was in favor of the Wilson bill and advocated unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause.

Evening Section.

After the recess Mr. Hunter (dem., 111.) said he would vote for the Wilson bill as an alternative, although he greatly preferred the Bland substitute.

Mr. Ikert (dem., O.) did not believe that silver would sensibly increase in value on a 16 to 1 ratio, and the change in ratio should be carefully considered, and, in his judgment, a ratio of 18J4 to 1 or 19 to 1 would be proper, but meanwhile he would vote for repeal.

Mr. Harris (pop.-dem., Kan.) did not know all knowledge of monetary science was confined to the Shylocks and Capt. Kidds and that the agriculturists of the west were ignorant. Had the Sherman law been administered by its friends—although not a proper money measure—it would have aided powerfully in the remonetizatlon of silver. Kansas was a unit for free coinage at 16 to 1.

Mr. Bell (pop., CoL) said the total amount of gold in the world, if divided fairly, would give the United StateB about six cents per capita. Yet people said that silver would drive gold out of the country. The western people did not want the money of the east. They did want the mints opened so that they could receive silver. Adjourned.

Message on Hawaii Expected. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Secretary Gresham and Minister Blount had another long conference over Hawaiian affairs Wednesday morning at the state department. 'It is believed the president will send to congress a special message giving his views on the subject of tho relation the United States should bear to Hawaii before the present session comes to an end. It is said the administration has come to no conclusion with regard to the policy it will recommend.

As a partial reparation for the unjust confiscation of private proporty oaused by the prohibitory law we favor such legislation as will permii the manufacture of spirituous and vinous liquors within the state, thereby giving to our own people at least equal rights in this respect with the manufacturers of other states."

Disastrous Attempt to Corner the Pacific Coast Crop. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 24.—New York and London hop buyers have dropped just (4,050,000 by their failure to prevent the hop growers on the Pacific coast from raising money enough to harvest their crop. A few weeks ago, when it was known that the hop yield of Europe would fall 100,000 bales short of the demand, a bunch of New York and London dealers who had plenty of money at their command set about to corner the Pacific coast yield, whioh this year is 20,000 bales above the average, or 150,000 bales in all. The scheme was to advance money to those needing it. Ezra Meeker, representing the growers, secured an advance of 115,000 from the Milwaukee brewers and renewed negotiations with Lindsay, Bird & Co., of London, who have finally cabled that they had arranged for the cash to harvest the crop.
