BROOKSHIKE'S HONORS.

Industry, Not Brains, Seoured Him Favorable Recognition. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News thus speaks of Congressman Brookshire's promotion:

Mr. Brookshire, of the Terre Haute district, was appointed to a place upon the committee on appropriations. This This is a very high compliment, indeed, which the Speaker paid the youngest Hoosier Representative in Congress. He served in the last Congress on the committee on postoffices and post-roade. He was chairman of the sub committee which investigated Wannamaker, and also the sub-committee having in charge the railway mail service of the United States, for which there is appropriated over §20,000,000 annually. He mastered the details of the work of his committee very thoroughly, and was always present at the meetings of the committee, and

thiB

was, no doubt, the cause which

inlluenced the Speaker to place him upon this committee of aged and experienced men. He is tbe youngest man who has been placed on the committee on appropriations for many years. No committee of Congress furnishes such an opportunity for advancement and for information with reference to all the departments of the Government. H6 will now have a very full opportunity to exercise his habite of .industry, which seems to be his strongest point.

DARLINGTON OLD SETTLERS.

Log Hauling—Addresses by Judge Harney and Others. Early in the morning the old folks and the young folks began to arrive. Joe Marshall superintended the hauling of logs for the saw mill and conceived the idea of giving the old folks a view of how he hauled logs. About 10 o'clock Joe had his wagons loaded and arranged in the east end of town each having on a magnificent log, there being thirteen teams. They were met by the band and escorted through town, making a fine display. The band and the crowd then went to the driving park, where after a few pieces of music by the band the meeting was called to order by the president of the meeting, Wm. Harland. Prayer was then offered by Father Staf ford. Then came some beautiful singing by Master and Miss Goldsberry, of Colfax, after which Judge Harney WHS called on and told how he and those of his day managed to get along, making a very interesting talk of half an hour. Dinner was then announced and all seemed to enjoy that part of the pro gramme. Tbe afternoon was occupied by the band first, then short speeches from Oris Walkup, I. E. G. Nayinr, Boston Strain, Alfred Clouser and Gen. M. D. Manson, each relating his experiencn of the long ago. Then F. M. Goldsberry and Hon. J. A. Mount were called on and gave the old people words of encouragement, Mount paying a beautiful and pleasing tribute to the hero of two wars, G«n. M. D. Manson. A clap of thunder about this time brought the meeting to a close, and a good shower cauphl a goodly number. But all s-eine-.l t.. be satisfied with their diiv's enjoyment and the greeting of all friends. Boston Strain and others gave a sample of their singing from the old Missouri Harmony, reviving old memories in the old people and much pleasure for the young. All in all it was a good day for old settlers and we trust they may live to have many more, although a few familliar faces were not to be seen, which recalls the fact that we are all traveling to that borne from whence none return.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

House Leaders Said to Favor an Early Adjournment.

TARIFF REVISION MAY BE POSTPONED.

The Senate Refuse!! to Admit Mantle, of Montana—Interesting Debate on National Ranks—The House Still

Discussing Silver.

MAY SOON ADJOURN.

WASHINGTON, Aufj. 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 quite probable that congress will And itself in a position to adjourn somewhere about the middle of September, until the date for the beginning of the regular session."

In talking about the work of the appropriations committee Chairman Sayres made similar observations. He said the estimates for 1894-5 could not be prepared until the close 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. His opinion was that the house would adjourn for three days at a time pending action on the repeal bill by the senate 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 Toucli 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. For this reason his brief and informal statement to the ways and means committee when it assembled for the first time was regarded ^s significant in outlining the desires the administration. Mr. Wilson a^ked 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 conpress 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, so 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 starting1 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 coinage at 20 to 1). The substitute proposes a commission of three citizens of the United states to ascertain and report before January, 1894, the 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 Banks. The senate took up the resolution offered on Tuesday by Senator Peffer (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 llonr (rep., Mass.) moved to refer it. to the finance committee. Senator Yoorliees (dem., Ind.) took the same position. Senator Hill (dem., N. V.) eloquently championed tin- i' -.olution a.ul lauded Senator I'eiler tor having oiiered .t. Senator Gorman (dem., Md.) contended for the reference cjf 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 the secretary of the treasury sending information "gratuitously'1 to senators —referring to Mr. Carlisle's letter as to 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 Yoorliees.

Senator Hill, with the consent of Senator l'elfer, modified the resolution as to ask what facts, if any, are in the official knowledge of the secretary of 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 ISanks.

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

banks the power of issuing, circulating and furnishing currency. The 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 bring that to pass. That currency should be national. It was the function of the national government to see that it was provided. It never had been and never would be provided by the states.

Mantle Refused a Seat.

At the close of Senator Hoar's remarks the national bank circulation bill was laid aside without action and the report of the committee on privileges and elections in favor of seating Mr. Lee Mantle as senator from Montana was taken up. After some debate the vote was taken on the substitute offered by Senator Vance (dem., N. C.) declaring Mr. Mantle not entitled to thfe seat. The vote resulted—yeas, 25 nays, 30. So the substitute was agreed to.

Senator Manderson (Neb.), who had changed his vote from nay to yea in order to make a motion to reconsider, made that motion. A motion to lay the motion to reconsider on the table was made by Senator Vance, but, without action on it, the senate Adjourned till to-day, leaving the Lee Mantle case still open.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—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. Dalzell (rep., Pa.) contended for the repeal of the purchase act, and ascribed the difficulties of the present situation to democratic hostility to the tariff. Mr. 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 the democrats of the house and senate to interpret the Chicago 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 silver.

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

Cannon Surprises the House. Mr. Cannon (rep., 111.) created a surprise 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 be 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. lie 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 Session

After the recess Mr. Hunter (dem., JJl.) 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 1.0 to 1 ratio, and the change in ratio should be carefully considered, and, in his judgment, a ratio of 18} 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 remonetization of silver. Kansas was a unit for free coinage at 1(5 to 1.

Mr. Bell (pop., Col.) said the total amount of gold in the world, if divided fairly, would give the United States about six cents per capita. Yet people said that silver would drive gold cut 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 Wednesdaj' morning at the state department. It is believed the president will send to congress a special message giving his views on the subject of the 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 rccommend.
