FREE COINAGE.
Senator Blackburn's Amendment to the Repeal Bill.
SHUTS OUT VOORHEES' SUBSTITUTE.
leaving th« Mmbqto |t Passed th« House—Representative* Continue (tie Debate on the Federal KIcction Bill.-
THl BANKING SYSTEM.
WASHINOTON, Oct 7.—The routine morn in ff business of the senate was disposed of very speedily Friday, and the senate proceeded to the consideration of the resolution offered on Wednesday by Senator Peffer for a [special committee on the improvement of the banking system of the country. Senator Stewart immediately took the floor and made a long and serioua complaint against the treasury department for not buying the 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion per month as required by the Sherman law.
Free Coinage of Silver.
Senator Blackburn sent to the clerk's desk and had read the amendment to the repeal bill which he gave notice of in his speech Wednesday. It strikes out the Voorhees amendment to the house bill and substitutes for it six additional sections. It authorizes the free coinage of silver from the United States mints, the seigniorage rate to be established by the secretary of the treasury on the 1st of each month. The seigniorage is to be the difference between the market price of silver and Its minted value after coinage. The seigniorage is not to be coined, but is to be sold for gold (either at home or abroad) and the gold received for it is to be held in the treasury and used only for the purpose of maintaining parity between the two metals.
Senator Peffer's resolution was referred to the finance committee, and Senator Morgan's resolution, instructing the judiciary committee to inquire what provisions of the free-coinage act of 'S"7 are still in force, was agreed to without discussion and without division.
Silver I'urcliu.e Uw.
The debate on the silver purchase repeal bill was carried on by Senator Call (dem., Fla.) and Senator Butler' (dem., S. C.), both in continuation of speeches begun by them last Wednesday. Senator Butler favored his owu amendment to repeal the 10 per oent. tax on the notes of state bauks. Senator Teller also made a little progress with the speech begun by liira last week.
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Oot. 7.—The house met at 11 o'clock. Immediately after the reading and approval of the journal the federal election bill was taken up, and Mr. llainer (rep., Neb.) concluded his speech In opposition to the repeal of the election laws.
Mr. Hicks (rep., l'a.) denounced the pending measure. The congress had been called together for a special purpose aud the senate for not having carried out that purpose had become the laughing stock of the country. He declared that the attempt of the house to pass the election laws was an attempt to humiliate the president.
Mr. Brookshire (dem., Ind.) in de-. fending the pending proposition, declared that the democrat* were united in purpose to put an eud to sectional agitation, no matter how they might differ on other questions.
Mr. Ray (rep., N. Y.) in opposing the measure, criticised the senate for its delay in acting upon the silver bill. The people, he said, were nauseated by the amount of talk there.
QOLD RESERVE IS DOWN.
Payment of Interest on the Pnbtlo Debt Is the Cause. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Several days ago the treasury department mailed interest checks aggregating in value about (5,000,000 to pay interest on the public due October 1. The effect of their payment is already being felt in the reduction of the gold reserve, which now stands at 189,020,698, as compared with a reserve of IU8.S8a,172 October 2. The reserve has nearly reached the lowest point in its history, which occurred about the middle of last June, when it was several hundred thousand below what it is today.

III) Crime.
PAID THE PKSAI.TY.
BARCKI.O.VA, Oct 7. —I'allas, the anarchist who, September 24, inade an attempt on the life of Capt. Gen. Martinex Campos by hurling two dynamite bombs at that officer, was shot in accordance with the sentence of the courtmartial before which he war tried. The prisoner refused to kneel when sentence was pronouueed, but he consented to sign a copy of his sentence, at the same time exclaiming that he.was •signing the death warrant of his judges, feeling certain that his brother anarchists would avenge his death by killing those wKo had condemned him to die.
Sneered at the Priests.
Priests did their utmost to prevail upon the desperate man to listen to religious consolation and die repentant, but I'allas sneered at the remarks of the priests, laughed at their wordpictures of the hereafter and scornfully rejected all their efforts in his behalf. Muss for the condemned was celebrated at au early hour.
Maintained III* Ilravario.
Shortly before 9 o'clock Pallas was slowly and solemnly escorted by a squad of iu fun trv to an inelosure close to the cattle of Monjuich. In the center of the square of troops, silent, motionless and grim, was drawn up a platoon of infantrv. The prisoner still maintained his air of bravado and marched to his death as if foinqf to some glorious ceremony, chanting an anarchist air in a slow voice, so as to drown, it would appear, the muttered prayers of the monks.
The Pinal Scene?
Outside the line of troop* crowds of people had gathered. The place of execution was kept as secret as possible, so that those in sympathy with the condemned anarchist could not have an opportunity to plan a dynamite outrage. When the prisoner's back had been turned toward the soldiers, the firing party took what appeared to be a very long and careful aim. To the right of the death platoon stood its officer, his bared sword held above his head then, like a Hash of lightning the glistening weapon descended, there was a flash of lire, clouds of white smoke, the rattle of rifles discharged in unison, and Pallas, the anarchist, fell over on his face—dead. A few sharp military words of command and the body was carried away, the troops formed and reformed, bugles sounded, the troops marched away, the cro\vds dispersed and all,was over.
Tltu Crime.
The crime for which Pallas was shot was committed in this city on Saturday. September Capt. Hen. Martinez de Campos was reviewing the troops of this district. I'allas, from among a crowd of people who were passing, threw a bomb at (Jen. de Campos, resulting in the killing of a soldier and the wounding of (tens, liustos and Molins, of his staff, and five spectators. The general himself received a slight wound in the arm and a few bruises, but beyond this was uninjured.
MAY RESTORE THE QUEEN.
Blouut's Recommendations hi Itrgard to the Sandwich Island*. WASHINGTON, Oct 7.—The nature of Mr. Blount's recommendation regarding the annexation question, says a morning paper, is to the effect that no action should be taken by the United States to annex the island or establish a protectorate over it without the full consent of all the natives. The report recommends that all questious involved in annexation and establishment of a protectorate should be submitted to a vote of all natives, as well as foreigners, and wpon their decision rests the future policy of the United States respecting the Hawaiian island.
If Mr. Cleveland adopts the recommendations submitted it practically means thaftUe queen will be restored to power, as she is said to be popular among the natives, each of whose votes is to be equal to that of a foreigner, aud it will mean further the complete ascendency of Mr. Clans Spreclcels. the sugar king.

TRADE IS DULL.
Slffns of Business Improvement Are Difficult to Detect.
THE MONETARY SITUATION IS BETTER.!
Trade Orders Too Small to Keep Working Force. Employed Stock -Markft 14 Art* \lfiik--Kword ol ullur«»« In Six Mouths.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. —R. U. Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade says llisdilltcult to detect any sl^'iih of improvemom. While there has been some adlltion to the number of manufacturing establishments and the nnmber of hands at work during the Iftbt week, it is becoming painfully clear that the orders obtained do not suffice to keep employed at full time even vhe limited force at present engaged. The business transacted is still far below that of last year tn volume, lu railroad earnings the decrease being 10 6 per ceut in Bpite of large world's fair business, aud in payments through the principal ^clearing houses outside New York the decrease iu 26 por oent
Reports from other cities disclose a distinct' check in business. There is on the whole less aotlvlty and less confidetice regarding the fu ture than there was a week aito. While the volume of all kinds of money lu circulation has Increased $-1,377,217 during ths mouth of September, and i« now greater by almost IIO.IWU 000 than it was last year, the embarrassment is uow, as it has been all the tlnie, due to a lack of conlldence rather than to a lack of currency.
Industrial Improvement Slow. There Is notsuoh encouragement as niirht be desired in the Industrial reports fur the week In almost every department orders are found too small to keep the restricted working force fully employed. Many concerns are working short time, while the general ro duotion in wages also affeots the purchasing power jf the millions whe still have work. An increased number of establishments Is reported In operation, but the sagging of prices ID print cloths and some other cotton goods, and ia the most important products of Iron and steel, discloses greatly discarded business.
Demand for Products.
The demand for Iron products la on the whole less satisfactory than it was a weGk ago. Steol billets are selling at l'litsburgh for 918 per ton and thero is practically uo demand for rails. In manufactures of wool there Is still remarkable hesitation and the demand for oonsumptlou 1s much restricted, so that the purchases of wool at the principal markets, notwithFtanking some s^rculaiiw buylnj, have been only 2,ft?fl,996 pounds, against 6,sre,100for the same week last year.
The Stock Murket.
The markets for stocks and products have been comparatively dull. In storks prices have gradually yielded, although but little, and are now but a small fraction lower than a week ago. The trading has oot been large, ex* oeptlng the industrial stocks, and few of these have bees active ercept In dealings between few traders.
IA the Cities.
At the west rather more aotlvlty is reported at several cities, notably Chloago, fit. Louis, Cleveland, Duluth, Su Paul and Ka&sae City. Lumber is generally higher In prioe. The demand for oattle and hogs has also Improved. From the east reports are less favorable, exoept from Baltimore, where increased sales are reported. The dry goeds demand Is below the average at Boston and Philadelphia.
Statistics of Failures.
Failures continue to decrease in numbers and importance, though not as much as has been hoped. The number reported iu the United States *urlng the last week has been 8120,
Sanada
iaiast 184 for the same week last year, and in 4b, against 3J last year. Durtug the flret half of the year the failures were in amount of liabilities 8168,020 H30, so that the aggregate, not inducing banking and financial failures, has been not more than tS61.34U,879.
DARING ROBBERY.
Csyt. Sinclair, of tlie St. Loots East Side Jocky Club, the Victim. ST. Louis, Oct 7.—The Globe-Demo-crat building waa the scene Friday night of one of the most thrilling robberiei that ever took place in St Louis. At the point of a revolver Capt. E. W. Sinclair, secretary and treasurer of the East Side Jockey club, was held up by a youth named Fred C. Uadlock and forced to give up a satchel containing *884.55.
The .obber fled with the satchel and money. CapL Sinclair followed, but by the time he got down the three flights of stair* to the street the robber was not to be seen. About fifteen minutes later the fellow was seen running along Fourth street carrying the grip. Two oflicer^ pursued and eornered him in a railroad office. He surrendered and was locked up. lie was identified as Fred C. Uadlock, the son of a well-known citizen. The money waa reoovered.
