8MEBMAN ON SILVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.—After the routine morning' business the bill for the repeal of the Sherman aot was taken up and Senator Sherman (rep., O.) proceeded to address the senate. The senator spoke in substance as follows:

Repeal Justified.

He said thai if the repeal of the purchasing clauses of the act of July, 1890, were the only reason for the extraordinary session, it would seem to him Insufficient It was, however, justified by the existing financial stringency. On one thing congress and the people agreed, and thai was that both gold and silver should be contiuued in use as money. Monometallism pure and simple had never gained a foothold in the United States. If senators wanted cheap money and an advance in prices free coinage of silver was the way to do it but they should ant call it bimetallism.

Senator Sherman then prooeeded to disousa the history of the aot that bears his name. He was not in favor of the free coinage of silver, and regarded it as but another name for the monometallsm of silver, and was only in favor of the purchase of silver for purposes of coining. The oonferrees of the two houses agreed upon their differences, and in that agreement secured the repeal of the Bland'Allison act. Senator Sherman reminded senators that when they oriticised the law that was misnamed after him. they should remember that this law now on the statute books was far better than either the bouse bill or that passed by the senate. Tho president had set forth the decline in the value of silver, but had failed to give the causes of that decline. Had he taken a broader view of the causes of that decline he coutd have explained It all.

Cause of the Decline In Silver* It was due, Senator Sherman said, to the fact that we were called upon to pay our debls debts payable in gold. England was the great creditor country and wc should neither be ashamed of nor hate her we are her children and partake much of the characteristics of the parent stock. England's losses in the Argentine Republic had to be made good and she returned our securities and demanded the gold needed to save her own institutions from going down. For the first time also In a number of years the balance of traae was against us and wo had to make the difference good.

The Balance of Trade.

Hitherto the balancc bad been in favor of the United States to the amount of t50.000.000, 1100,000,000 and sometimes £200,000,000. 11,e last fiscal your tho balance of trade ww against the United States to the amount of 118,735,000. Whether it would be BO next year no one could tell. He believed that with the crops now ripening the balance of trade would probably be in favor of the United States this year, and he believed that the forced economy which always followed a panic would be, of Itself, a protection against unusual aud unnecessary imports. So he hoped that next year there would be no difficulty in the matter of balance of trade. "Give the Devil His Due."

With regard to the Sherman law, Senator Sherman said he believed in "giving the devil his dueM and was ready toftand by the law, not as a measure in which he took any special pride, for he was compelled to yield in order to prevent disastrous legislation. But without this law what would the country have done in 1891 and 1892 had It been called upon then to meet the difficulties now staggering us? Be was not a new convert to the repeal of the law, and a year ago he had Introduced a bill to suspend the opera* tions of the law. It was worded almost exaotly like that of Senator Voorhees. Why did not the democratic senators then see the dangers they now see, and come to the hslp of tho republicans when they sought to suspend the law? Not a democratic vote was had then and democrats must answer why.

The Question of Repeal.

This was a ourrenoy famine, not the fear that the money of the country was not good, and the people should not be tfeoeived as to the reasons for repeal. Senator Shermaa did not believe the repeal of the law would in any considerable degree relieve the country from the existing stagnation. Its repeal would ease the money market from the dreaded fear of the free eolnage of silver. The law was denounced by the democratic party as a miserable makeshift It was a makeshift and a Rood one, intended to prevent the ills growing out of the free oolnage of silver.

Will Support the President. 'The president in the midst of the panio, appeals to us to repeal this law, and he will not make this appeal to me in vain. I have ne sympathy with him la politics, but I believe that in this matter he is right and that it is my duty to respond to his calL I will cooperate in any measure that will tend to maintain the harmonious use of silver and gold as standards of value. I hopo that the next measure of relief which my friend from Indiana (Senator Voorhees) will provide will be a broad, liberal measure, authorizing the president or the secretary of the treasury, whichever he prefers, to exercise the power, if necessary, to sell securities in order to maintain the parity of all our currency."

Replies to Attacks.

Senator Sherman then began a discussion of the various coinage laws of the United States, with speolal reference to the act of 187S, which had, he said, been the subject of so much misrepresentation and falsehood in this debate. He denied Mr. Voorhees* statement that that act (the act of 1873), was a "stealthy demonetisation.

Senator Voorhees* replied that be never intended to refor to the senator from Ohio, for four years ago he had effectually cleared himself from any participation in that matter. "Hereafter/' said Senator Sherman, "when any man makes such a statement about this legislation I shall simply say that It is a falsehood and brand it so. There was nothing surreptitious about it," said Senator Sherman, with much warmth, "and no fact can be proven more clearly. The statement so often made to the contrary is a falsehood and a He I care not by whom made."

Recalls Mr. Stewart's Attitude. "It 1b strange,** said Senator Sherman, "that on the vote on this bill that the distinguished senator from Nevada (Senator Stewart) voted for Hand I, 'the devil flsh,'voted against it" The last remark was in reference to an epithet applied to Senator Sherman during the debate in the house last week. Senator Stewart retorted that in due time he would explain how he came to vote for the bill Senator Sherman quoted from speeches made by Senator Stewart In the senate In 1873 and 1874 these words: "I want the standard gold, and no paper money that is not redeemable in gold. By this prooess we shall come to a specie basis and when the laborer shall receive his dollar it will have the same purchasing power of a dollar. Gold is the universal standard of tho world. Everybody knows that."

The reading of these quouations, showing such a remarkable change of opinion on the part of Senator Stewart, provoked general laughter at the expense of that senator, who looked somewhat bewildered, but only stroked his long beard. Subsequently, however, he promised to reply to Senator Sherman on Friday next

The Purchase of Silver.

Senator Sherman came back to the main subject of his speech and said: "I do not think that the stoppage of silver oolnage was the end of silver. We have proven that tho mere purchase of sliver by us on a declining market Is au improvident use of the

fflK DAILY JOURNAL.

public money and ought to be abandoned, or at least suspended, until a time may come when bj an international agreement or by some provision of law we may guard against the possibility o! eomlng to a single standard of silver. This in not a question of mere interest to Nevada or Colorado. It is not a question of what Wall street will do. Wall street will always be doing some devilment or other, it makes no difference who Is up or down. 1 take that as a matter of course. The question is what should be done for the people of the United States In all its length and breadth, and therefore If congress will say that in Its opinion it Is not wise now to continue the purchase of silver bullion there will be no injustice done to Colorado or Nevada."

Protection of National Credit. Recurring to the suggestion of authorising the issue of bonds Senator Sherman said: "I am willing to trust your executive officers. If- you are not It is a strange attitude la political affairs. I would give them power to protect the credit of the government against all enemies at home and abroad. If the fight must be for the possession of gold, I would use our cotton and our corn and our wheat, and I would proteot our credit against all mankind. As to silver, I would say that we prefer to wait awhile until the skies are clear, until we see the effeots of the suspension of silver coinage in India and see what arrangements can be made for another international monetary conference. In the meantime let the United States stand on its strength and credit I think that soon all these clouds will be dissipated and that we may go home to our friends with the conviction that we have done a good work for our country at large."

Spoke Over Two Hoars.

Senator Sherman concluded at tt:40, having occupied two hours and ten minutes. Portions of his speech were read from manusoript but tho greater part of It was delivered extempore and with great rapidity and force. He was listened to throughout with unflagging attention and Interest When he had concluded the repealing bill (on wMoh he had spokfen) was laid aside, and the national bank circulation bill was takon up to allow Senator Teller (Col.) to finish the speech which he had begun Tuesday. Senator Voorhees gave notice, however, that after the morning business to-day be would ask the senste to take up the repeal bill and would do so from day to day, subject of course, to his desire to accommodate senators.

CLEVELAND'S HEALTH.

Recent Reports from New York and Philadelphia Strengthen the Belief That the Public Has Been Kept In Ignorance of

Its Actual Condition. WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. There is much concern in Washlngton as to the health of Mr. Cleveland. The reports from New York and Philadelphia concerning the surgical operation recently performed upon the president's jaw, while differing somewhat in detail, are BO similar in their substantial features as to leave little doubt that Mr. Cleveland's condition has beezf considered worse than tbe public has known. The statement of Dr. Hasbrouck, of New York, who administered the anmsthetics to the president during the'operation, has confirmed the report that an operation of some sort was performed. It is still asserted by Mr. Cleveland's friends that the reports have been magnified, but in view of Dr. Hasbrouck's statement there is no further effort to make a complete denial of the reports of the president's condition. Dr. Hasbrouck's statement appears in different forms in the various New York and Philadelphia papers. In one New York paper he is made to say that Mr. Cleveland was operated upon for malignant cancer. In another New York paper he nu made to say that the operation was not for a canoerous affection, but was only one in dental surgery, in which part of the jaw bone and the bone of the nose was removed. In a Philadelphia paper Dr. Hasbrouck is made to say that the trouble was of a cancerous nature. In all the reports, however, Dr. Hasbrouck admits that the president's malady was more serious than the public had been led to believe.

Senators Gray, Voorhees, Vest, Vilas and other personal friends, who frequently saw the president when he was last in Washington, finally acknowledged that Mr. Cleveland had talked to them about the operation and had expressed doubt and worry over his condition. Those with whom the president had taked about his health, while refusing to be quoted stated in a general way that the feature of the president's illness which worried him was the inability of his phygioians to diagnose his case. It was the suspense, the doubt as to the trouble, that worried the president constantly. There is a general demand here that an end be put to the custom of misleading the public when a statement is made concerning the health of a public man, and especially one ra which the country Is so deeply interested as the president of the United States. It is believed that an official statement will be made of Mr. Cleveland's condition, and that it will be of a reliable character.

Womaa Robbed the Express Company. MADISON, Wis., Aug 81.—Twentyyears ago the express company was robbed of 18,000 by a female physician, Mrs. Anna B. Ott, who died in the insane asylum here recently, and before expiring confessed the crime. She took the keys while attending the expressman's sick wife. The robbery had always been shrouded in deep mystery. Agent Douglass left the city in disgrace, but is entirely exonerated by the cofession.

Wrecks on the Hudson.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81.—The Hudson river valley was right in the path of Tuesday's storm. There was great havoc among the boats and boat clubhouses of the lower Hudson and the losses will run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE.

More Than lOO Victims of the Storm Down South.

ITS FULL EFFECT IS NOT YET KNOWN.

Seventy Dead Bodies Taken from the Cooftaw River—Losses at Charleston Over •1,000,000—Eiperl^m of a Steamer's Passeugers.

TERRIBLE WORK OP THE STOBM.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug*. 31.—News from the Btorra-swept district of Port Royal and Beaufort is still very meager. There is no telegraphic communication with these places yet, the only news being obtainable by mail. News received by the Chronicle brings the startling intelligence that seventy bodies were taken from the Coosaw river Wednesday by-searching parties.

The Half Mot Told.

Not one-half of the horrors of the storm has as yet been told, as messengers from surrounding sections are arriving hourly, bringing news of death and terrible havoc caused by Sunday night's gale. The result of Wednesday's work of the relief party puts the number of missing at over a hundred, but owing to poor means of communication correct lists of the dead cannot be ascertained. In several places along the Coosaw river were found eight or ten bodies lying on the bank close together. Graves were hastily dug near the places of the discovery of the bodies and without ceremony tho storm victims were placed beneath the earth. The situation in some localities is reported as being distressing among the negroes, only one or two persons being left out of families of twelve or fifteen. No news of a definite character has been received from St. Helena and other surrounding islands. These islands for the most part are thielcly populated, and it is feared the loss of life has been very great.

Heavy Losses at Charleston. The damage at Charleston. S. C., was fully as great as from the terrible cyclone of 1885. Losses in Charleston are estimated at $1,1-11,500. The experience of 1885 taught the Charlestonians a lesson and over $1,000,000 cyclone insurance was held there. Six persons were killed and two injured at Charleston and others are missing.

The sight presented Wednesday was of a city almost in ruins, the streets and thoroughfares strewn with debris from the roofs of stores and dwellings, the roadways blocked by hundreds of giant trees uprooted from the earth, sidewalks strewn with crumbling brick and mortar, courts, alleys and by-paths under water, a magnificent water front with its costly docks where the fleets of a continent could be berthed, piled with wreckage, many churches unroofed and almost every residence in the city more or less injured.

Destroctlnn at Tybee inland. SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 81.—It is now estimated that the losses of the planters at Tybee island will be much greater than was at first supposed. Nearly the whole crop was destroyed and the loss is estimated at $400,000 The box car at the east end of the "Y" switch of the railroad where Scott Bacon, his wife and two sons livod, all of whom were killed, was blown from its trucks and has not beeu found. There is not even a foundation to the house of John G. Butler. Only the servants' quarters of the Knights of Pythias elub-housc remain. From the Knights of Pythias clubhouse to the pavilion there is no railroad at all.

Ran HI. Boat A.liore.

SAVANSAH, Ga., Aug. 31.—The steamer City of Savannah of Boston is ashore on Hunting island, 30 miles off Beaufort, S. C. She Is a total wreck and is rapidly going to pieces. Her passengers were rescued by the City of Birmingham ot the New York line and brought to Savannah Wednesday night. Hunting island is about SO miles above Bluffton and 12 miles long.

The City of Savannah left Boston Thursday afternoon. She met one storm after another, there being three storms in all. Sunday's storm was the worst The stearar .• beat about nil day Sunday, \\._cn her steam whistl" was knocked off and the water beg i. pouring into her Iiold thre.\ tufd to stop her e'jgined. Seeing 'if the ship could las' 11-4 n. f../ hours lc.nger, Capt Savage hea^eU her for "boal water. The s' :'ccrs weri. plied with stimulants and food and every effort made to reach shoal wuter w'ifore the vessel sauX All night long the vessel ran in the storm, the passengers expecting drat., every minute. Early Monday morning the Et«air»er was heard bumping and scraping against the bottom. The vessel was run as far aground as possible. Tbe huge waves broke over her and beat tha boat to pieces. The cabins were smashed and carried away, first on one side and then on the other.

Saving the Pa.icDfer*.

Capt Savage and the officers and crew used every effort to prevent loss of life among the passengers, and, wonderful as it may appear, they were successful. No signs of a rescue appearing, and the boat being undoubtedly doomed, Capt. Savage took steps to save his passenger. Monday afternoon a small boat with three sailors who volunteered from the crew were sent out to find a place on the shore where the boats could land. They did not return and it is not known whether they reached the shore or not Tuesday morning the two lifeboats, tho only two left, were manued, the first officer beiug in command of one and the second officer of the other. Four of the strongest sailors of the. crew were picked for each boat The boats were filled with women and children— about fifteen in all—including the stewardess and female employes of the Savannah. The boats set out for shore and sailed out of siglit of those on board. They arrived at Coffin Point, St Helena island, where they are at

present Those who remained on tho City of Savannah ware rescued by thu City of Birmingham.

Scaincu Swept Overboard.

LOXDON, Aug. 31.—A dispatch from Parti, Brazil, says that the British steamship Justin, Capt, Bisson, which sailed from New York on, August 13, arrived at Barbadocs Tuesday. She had passed through a series of terrific storms. Her decks were swept day after day, her small boats, wheel house and engine room skylights were smashed or carried overboard. Her second mate, boatswain and four seamen were washed from her decks by the waves and were lost in the sea.

Many Lives Keport«l f.ost. TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 31.—The following list of craft were wrecked along the beach within a few miles of Charlotte during the storm Tuesday: Schooner Hamilton B. MilU, Capt.

WILL FIX THE TARIFF

Committee to Begin Revision—The Probability That a B1U Will Be Iteady for Cougress by November 1.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.—The leaders in congress have fully determined upon their policy as to the revision of the tariff. The last formal arrangement in the programme was made Wednesday when the democratic majority of the committee voted to grant hearings to manufacturers from September 4 to 20. There was a spirited contest between the democrats and republicans before the rule was adopted. Mr. Turner, speaking for the democrats, wanted the hearing restricted to the shortest time possible in order that the bill itself might be framed and the country might see actual results before the end of the year. But Mr. Reed, voicing the sentiments of the republicans, wanted the manufacturers to have plenty of time for their hearing. Mr. Reed's plan of unlimited hearings was rejected by a strict party vote and the Turner plan was adopted by a similar vote. On Monday next, therefore, the hearings of the manufacturers will begin. Already representatives of the iron and steel, tin-platev pearl button, flax and pottery industries have asked for hearings.

NICARAGUA GIVES UP.

Tbe Canal Company Fall.—TbomtM B. Atkln., of New York, Appointed Receiver—Ko Money to Meet Kill*.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—In the United States court on Wednesday Judge Benedict appointed Thomas B. Atkins, of New York, receiver for the Nicaragua Canal & Construction company on application of Louis Chaple, one of the stockholders. The application for a receiver is acquiesced in by Warner Millar, president, who says the company lias no longer means to meet its obligations.

The company was organized under the laws of the state of Colorado June 10, 1887, for the purpose of building a canal through the republic of Nicaragua, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with power to cooperate with other companies. Its authorized capital stock was $12,000,000, all of which was paid up. After organization it became associated with the Maritime Canal company with the same objects. The late scandals in France over the building of the Panama canal seriously affected the American company, and the uncertain nature of the work projected had the effect of making capitalists cautious about investing in the concern. The present monetary stringency further embarrassed the concern, until finally the officers became unable to meet tho demands and decided to apply to the courts for a receiver.

Knotting I. In Jail.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 81.—Cashier Koet"ting arrived here at 7:30 Wednesday evening in custody of Detective MeManus. He was at once driven in a closed carriage to the municipal court, where he gave bonds for $10,000, G. and J. Kopmeir acting as bondsmen. On leaving the room he was rearrested on a charge of embezzlement to the amount of $200 preferred by John S. Soergel. As no bail was fixed for this charge the prisoner was taken to jail, where his wife called on him.

CHASED BY POLICE.

Another Riotous Disturbance on the Lake Front In Chicago.

& DISORDERLY CROWD DISPERSED.

Member, of tho Mob Armed with SI ones and Iron Missiles—Mayor Harrison Orders the Meeting. Stopped—An Interview with Gov. Altgeld.

RIOTERS HOUTED.

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. The police charged the crowd around the Columbus statue a few minutes before uoon Wednesday and inside of five minutes the lake front was completely cleared of people. Then details of men were sent up and down the street aud the sidewalks on both sides were cleared of idlers and sightseers. Ten minutes after the order was given to charge tho street and the lake front park were completely cleared. Some of the men who were sleeping on the grass were trample.', on and badly bruised, and some of tho men who were slow to move were hit over the head with clubs, but that was the extent of the trouble. One policeman was badly t'uV bout the bauds, but no further injuries were received by officers. The man hurt was Otlicer epson, of the First precinct

Threw Stones and Coupling-Pins. The speakers had been proclaiming all the morning that they would not only meet, but that they would parade, and as the crowd increased in size it grew more turbulent, until the police deemed it best to disperse it Reserves were sent from all the stations, and when all was in readiness they made a sudden charge from the south and southeast sides of the monument and drove the 5,000 or 0,000 people off the lake front and down the side streets as fast as they could run. They swept everybody before them in a solid mass. Excited individuals made speeches and stones begau to be thrown. Rioters who were in the eastern outskirts of the mob picked up coupling-pins from the Illinois Central tracks anil the heavy missiles were thrown toward the police.

Italian. Take a Hand.

A mob of Italians, after leaving the lake front, started a threatening demonstration at Twelfth and State streets, and this was promptly broken up by the police, who then marched to tho lake front after throwing a line of men across Michigan avenue at Lake Park place to prevent the crowd from following.

Will Allow No More Meeting*. Mayor Harrison said Wednesday that lie would permit no more meetings to be held on the lake front He notified Superintendent Hrennan.tosend a force of police to the monument early this morning to enforce the order. More than 2,000 police officers were on reserve duty Wednesday and were massed in the various down-town stations.

Labor leaders denounced the action of the police on account of the manner in which the crowd at the monument had been attacked, olaiming that the meeting was quiet and orderly until the police marched up.

Famous Speaker, on the Lake Front. There was a monster mass meeting" held in the afternoon on the lake front. This gathering was a quiet one and was under police protection. It was divided into six meetings, addressed by Bishop Fallows, Rev. Dr. McGlynn, Henry George, Thomas J. Morgan, Samuel Gompers and others.

Gov. Altgeld Talks.

SrniNOPiiCLi), 111., Aug. 31.—Gov. Altgeld was interviewed concerning the alleged revival of anarchy in Chicago. He declared that all talk about the activity among alleged anarchists in Chicago was malicious libel. It was doing incalculable iujury to the fair fame of the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago and should be stopped. It is and always has been absolutely without any foundation and has been indulged in in part for sensational purposes and in part because certain individuals found that they could not only make political capital out of it but could derive personal benefit and advantage by in. The responsibility for the agitation caused by this talk of a revival of anarchy rested between the press, the police and the designing politicians. From a careful and thorough examination of the whole subject, the governor said he was convinced that there are not now and there never have been fifty anarchists in the whole state of Illinois. He did not believe there wore fifty in all America.

Frost Ruins Cranberry Crop. GRANTSDUKG, Wis., Aug. 81.—The heavy frost of last Monday night froze all the cranberries in this county. Hundreds of people had gone up to gather the berries and got but one day's picking out of the crop. Thousands of bushels of berries were frozen, there being not enough gathered for home consumption. The loss will fall heavily on the marsh owners, as they had made large preparations for a heavy crop.

Mr. Iteeson Censured.

CHICAGO. Aug. 31. Commissioner Beeson, of Oklahoma, was found guilty of the charge of soliciting a bribe for a world's fair medal of honor by the national commission's investigating committee. Commissioner Miycer, of Wyoming, was exonerated. Beeson was severely censured, and steps will probably be taken to secure his removal from the oommission.
