•peculat ion an to the Outcome of the DI| easslon—Predictions Regarding the Senate—Heed and Cockran

Plead for Repeal.

A PREDICTION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2b.—The prevailing impression as to tne probable action of the two houses finds expression as follows: The vote on the Wilson repeal bill will be taken to-day in the house, as agreed, and the silver purchase olause of the Sherman law, so far as that body is concerned, will probably be wiped out by seventy majority. The bill will then go to the senate, whore it will be referred to the Voorhees finance committee, which will promptly pigeon-hole It. The senate will go right along debating the Voorhoes repeal bill, already reported, and will do this for two weeks, and perhaps longer, before a final vote oan be taken. The senate will then agree to the Voorhees bill, while the Wilson bill from the house will slumber quietly on the flies, where the finance committee have laid it. The Voorhees bill being thus sent over to the house, it will doubtless be acted on with little delay in that body, though there may be an effort to let loose another flood of oratory, because, as there is some difference between the senate and house propositions, the silver men may find therein occasion for some more talk. If there is a prospect of protracted debate, however, cloturc will be applied and the bill be made ready for the president's signature. The Voorhees bill, it should be observed, differs from the Wilson bill in making a declaration in faior of bimetallism.

Tom Reed Speaks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. *8.—The feature of the silver debate iu the hous* was the speech of Thomas B. Reed (rep., Me.) ex-speaker of the house. Mr. Reed spoke for an hour. He declared his belief that, while the Sherman act was not responsible for the present depression, the silver purohaslpg clause should be repealed, tlrst, because, whether justly or not, the Sherman law is believed to be the cause of the unreasonable hoarding* of currency throughout the country, and, second, beoause only 'by repeal could the nation hope to attract foreign capital, without which it were vain to hope for an upward turn of the country's business Mr. Reed thought that danger to the protective tariff was the foundation for all of our troubles.

Mr. Reed paid a complimcnt to the managers of banks generally, saying that in his judgment they were doing an honorable and patriotic work, and were the mainstay of the country against failure and future disaster.

In conclusion Mr. Reed said: •'Whet, then, Is the pathway of duty? The unconditional repeal. That will either give relic! or not. If not, ibon we must try something else, and the sooner the better. It is a matter of deep regret to all wenslble in en that we have delayed so long. Men are to-day struggling almost against fate and praying for relief. The banks are strained almost to tho point of breaking. It Is suoh a pity that we had to wasto so much time in this weary welter of talk. We stand in a very peculiar position, we republicans,'to-day. The representative of the democratic party, just chosen president of the united States, finds himself powerless in his first great reooenmendation to his own parry. Were be loft to their tender meroles the country would witness the speotacle of the president of Its oholce overthrown by the party obarged with this country's government What wonder, then, that ho appeals to the patriotism of another party whose patriotism has never been appealed to In vuin."

Cockran for Repeal.

After addresses by Messrs. De Armoud (dem., Mo.) and Williams (dera., 111.) opposing repeal the floor was secured by Bourke Cockran (d«m., N. V.). In substance Mr. Cookrans remarks were as follows:

He agreed with the gontlemsn from Michigan that when congress adjournod last March the country was prosperous In every respect, while now the gaunt specter of starvation was stalking abroad through the land. The remedy for this condition of things ought to be sought for, free from any spirit of partisanship. He onuld not agree with the gentleman from Maine that these periods of depression were Inseparable from the advancement of clvilzation, but held that each was due to a spe cine cause which might be readily discoveredMr. Cockran said that the platform of the democratic party did not declare fur free coinage of stiver that an attempt was made in the convention by a deiogate from Colorado to commit the party to that principle, but failed to socurc tan votos on the floor of the convention in support gf tho proposition.

Mr. Cockran then had recourse to an historical resume of financial lepisution, and asserted Unit there was never an Instance in the history of civilization where gold and silver ever circulated side by side at any ratio. It was impossible that they should do so. and he defied the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) to name an exception. Tho fluctuations of the VUIUCH of tho two coins wore sufficient to constantly drive out the dearer metal, and thip, said Mr. Cockran. was the inevitable result France was compelled to import 9000,000,000 of gold to maintain the parity of tho sliver ^which sho had ootned. That was what the United States would have to do If it was desired to maintain the parity of the silver wo liaA'c coined.

Referring to the assertion in the rocent speech of the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Hryun) that silver was still the basis of value of farmers' products, Mr. Cockran Inquired: 'if that be so why do you not give him the full value of it? You would give the farmer 817J4 grains of pure sliver while I should give him 051*4 grains.

The debasement of the coin proposed, Mr. Cockran said, would have the result of reducing debts to the amount of 45 per oent The gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Ilryan) assumed that the loss would fall on tho banks. Hut the faot was that in the vory nature of thlrgs the bunks and corporations arc the debtors of the country and the worklngmen are the creditors. Gentlemen tell us that gold has appreciated. I deny it, said Mr. Cockran. The Aldrlch report shows that never before In the history of the world did the laboring man of American receive so much in gold for his labor. IChecrs.] But the gentleman from Nebraska aod the gentleman from Missouri propose by their plans to make the bankers of New York alono a present of Ml,000,000 in the settlement of accounts with their depositors, and to deprive the workingmeu of 45 per cent, of the vfflue of his work.

In conclusion Mr. Cockran said tho troublo In this country was not due to lack of money, but to lack of redundancy. Money was not wealth. It was that with which trado was worked.

Mr. Cookran eloquently spoke of the unity of the interests of the whole country, saying in reference to the ver-

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.

Treasury Authorities Speak Encouragingly of Hanking Affairs. WASHINGTON, Aug. 98.—According to the treasury authorities the past week has witnessed a further "Improvement in banking olroles throughout the country and a growing confidence among the people in regard to, financial conditions. Figures in tha office of the comptroller of the currency show that while seventy-two national banks suspended in July only thirty-one closed their doors during the month of August, now nearly ended. During the first week of this month there were thirteen suspensions! during the second week the number was reduced to seven last week eight national banks suspended, and during the week just ended only three were closed. During July nine banks that had closed their doors resumed, and up to date this month seventeen have reopened. Comptroller Eckels thinss that very fewfailures may now be expected, and that a largo majority of the banks btill suspended will soon resume business.

Loss of Five Lives.

MANY WERT DKATH.

LONG ISLAND CITV, L. I., Aug. 28.— An accident that cost the lives of fourteen persons oocurred shortly after midnight Friday in the little village of Berlin, near Calvary Icemetery, in the town of Newtown. The Long Island railroad train that left Manhattan Beach at 11:16 o'olock collided with the train that left Rockaway Beach fifteen minutes earlier. The two rear cars of the five that made up the Manhattan Bcaoh train were demolished and the middle car was overturned. Hardly one of the soores of passengers aboard these three oars escaped unhurt.

The Killed.

The list of those dead Is as follows: Col. Elisha A. Buck, Mrs. Maggie Dlcizel, Oxoar Dletzul. Mortimer Olttman, John C. Oyokholf, Mrs. John C. DyckhofT, Thomao Finn, Alexander Gnllct, James J. Hylaade, Klclmrd Newman, Max Stein, Joseph M. Tliolan, Mrs. Berilm Wolnsteln, Sidney Welnateln.

Trains Were Crowded.

The liBt of injured numbers eighteen. After the accident happened it was over an hour before news of it reached any outside point. It oame by messenger who walked into Long Island Oity. The railroad company immediately dispatched a relief train with all the pliysiolans In the city. They found an appalling state of affairs. The Manhattan Beach train had been standing in the block to allow another train ahead to got at a safe distance. The Rockaway Beach train came dashing along behin'd, Van into the same block and crashed into the rear end of the Manhattan Beaoh train. Both were crowded with excursionists. There were five oars in the Manhattan Beach train, .all of them open cars. The Rockaway train plunged in and plowed its way completely through the two rear cars and partly wreaked the third. Passengers in ths three oars were maimed and mangled horribly, and their shrieks of terror and paih were awful.

Impaled Upon the Tlmben. The Rookaway engine was wrecked. Its Bmokestook was carried away and its huge boiler resembled a pincushion from the timbers of the wrecked cars sticking into it. Upon these- timbers were human beings impaled, some dead and olhers gasping their last High upon the top lay the dead body of a man. yet unidentified. Upon one of the timbers was Impaled the body of Mrs. Oscar Oictzel. Upon another WAS the body of Sidney Weinsteln. The scene was indescribable. The dead and wounded were massed among the wreckage, beside, upon and beyond the tracks. Everything was spattered with blood of the dead and wounded, and the cries of the latter rose above the hissing of steam and the calls of the frantlo trainmen.

As fast as the wounded could be taken from the wreck they were carried to the relief train and cared for. The doctors on board worked swiftly but well, while other medical men were out in the wreck applying restoratives and making hurried dressings of wounds to sustain the suflFercrs until they could be put on the relief train for more careful treatment.

IUn Away from the Wreck. The Manhattan Beach train was just pulling out of the block when the crash came. When Engineer Donaldson felt the shock lie threw open his lever and made all speed for Long Island City, loaving the three wrecked cars behind. None of the passengers or crew on the Rockaway Beach train was seriously hurt. All were shaken up severely and some badly bruised, but all were able to go to their homes without assistance.

Uol. Buck'* Death.

The killing of Col. E. A. Buck, editor of the Spirit of the Times, was especially pathetic. He was returning from the beaoh with his son and Dr. Knapp, of New York. The son was thrown, all torn and bleeding, out on the embankment. Col. Buck was so badly hurt that he died almost instantly, while Dr. Knapp was uninjured and did good service in relieving the sufferers. Young Mr. Buck lies at St. John's hospital terriblf hurt and docs not yet know of his father's death.

Caase of the Disaster.

General Manager E. R. Reynolds and Superintendent W. H. Blood said thet the cause of the accident was still unknown that it was a question of veraaity between the tower switchman, Nutt, and Engineer Conkrlte, of the Rockaway train. The latter had reported that a heavy fug prevailed at the time, which woe true He declared that the signals were set at safety, indicating a dear road, sod he went ahead without reducing speed. Suddenly Fireman Robert Price, his companion, exclaimed: "My Ood, there is a train ahead!" Looking ahead he saw through the mist the two red lights that always hang at the rear end of a train, and declares he immediately reversed his engine and put on the steam-brakes. Then he and Fireman l'rice jumpod for their lives. When the wrecked engine was examined Sunday morning his stateinent—AS to the reversed lever and steanvbrakes was found to be true. The only remnining question was as to whether he or Nutt was right about the danger signal. Sunday morning it was set at danger, and Nutt insists that It had remained so ever sinee he set it to warn Engineer Conkrite. A rigid investigation will be held.

Urn/. I'r.KTii, Aug. 2S.—The annual report of the llunyarinn minister of agrirulture has appeared. Its estimate of the world's production of wheat this yea is 2,270,000.000 lmslieis, against the otlieial avernge of 2,2tj0,000,000 annually for the last ten years. The report says the deficits to bo filled by the importing countries will roquire 370,000.000 bushels. The surplus available in exporting countries to satisfy this demand is 378,001,000 bushels. The world's product of rye is given as 4D5.000,000 hectolitcrB.

The yield of wheat in North America is estimated as 882,000,000 bushels: tho yie:d of rye as 24,833.000 bushels, and the yield of maize as 1.809,000 bushels.

The reports say also as much rye, oals and barloy will be needed to take the place of fodder destroyed by the drought, the consumption of wheat and rye is likely to bo unusually large. High prioea, therefore, are likely to rule when the American shipments to Europe ccase.

Great Britain Muet Import. LONDON, Aug. 28.—The Times in the course of a long leader on the dismal agricultural prospects of Great Britain says that foreign competition depressess the price of cattle and corn. The imports of animals and meat, it says, will swamp the markets this year. Great Brltuin will be more than ever dependent on foreign supplies and will require at least 28,000,000 quarters of wheat from abroad. France, it adds, must Import more than twice as much as she usually doeij. As to Germany, "that country lias already begun to draw on the American market for supplies. When nations thus bid against each other, the article says, there is a fair chance that prices will advnnce.
