result from the free coinago of silver. He wn willing to abandon his idea in favor of flat money, and to widen ; the base of the credit structure by edding to it all the silver that tho United States mints could turn out. According to tho best data there was less than tO,CCO,0iX) Trorth of silver mined every -.Tr&r inth United States. Of that sum tO,C0O,00O was coined. $3,000,000 uaed in the arts, and onlr $17,000,000 could bo used in free "coinage. It was to be remembered that the national bank circulation was bein g every day retired, the amount to be re- , tired this year beinir $15,000,000. Mr. Farwell Double as much as that. Mr. PlumbWe lost 41,000.000 last year; "but the reason why we will not lose so ' much this year is because the banks cannot retire their circulation below a certain proportion without losing their charters. V e . shall, therefore, lose this year by the withdrawal of national bank circulation all that could bo got by free coinage. Mr. Plumb went on to speak of the silver "bill in connection with the question of pro"lection. The Senato had been appealed to yesterday by the Senator from Now York tMr. lliscock against the bi'l in the sacred name of protection. Heweuid not call it a fetich, although he did not know what he would call it before he got through, but in its name the Senate was asked to keep silver dethroned. Silver was an American product a much larger product than many others which were to be protected by dqties 'of 200 orper cent, under the coming tariff bill. He would like to ask tho Senator . from New York, who was to anxious about i foreign commerce, what he intended to do with the tariff bill, which would prevent ."the United States from having anv foreign commerce, lie hoped that he might interpret the Senator's remarks on that point aa a hopeful augury of the action of that Senator in putting his knife into the bill now before the finance committee a bill which would raise the price of nearlr everything used by tho masses of the people. The silver bill was then laid aside. The message from the President in relation to the landing of an armed force ftc'i 5 the revenue cutter McLane at Cedar Key , .Fla.. was presented, read and referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Dawes, from the committee on In- ! dian affairs, reported a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of ; the Interior for copies of communications ' r.nd correspondence on the subject of intruders on the Indian Territory, and for a jTeport as to what steps have been taken to , f alfiil treaty obligations with tba Choctaw rand Chickasaw nations in regard to preventing such intrusion. After an executive session the Senate adjourned.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE. Varying Tlexrs of representatives on the llepabllcan Caucus Measure. Washington, Jane C-rJhe silver debate was resumed in the House this morning, ''Mr.Lind of Minnesota being the first speaker. He represented, he said, an agricultural "district, the farmers of which were not poor, but not wholly prosperous. The depressed condition was due to the low prices of agricultural products. He believed that prices wero affected by the amount of money in circulation. The increase of circulation advanced prices and shrinkage of circulation diminished them. The increase in the purchasing value of gold was due to the fact that its production was decreasing while its use in the arts was increasing. If silver had been allowed to retain its place as money throughout the 'world, it too, would have enhanced in purchasing power. Silver should be restored to its former position. This was demanded "by the great mass of the American people. It was no argument to say that the people 'did not understand the question. They did. People could think and reason as well as a member of Coneres. . The judgment of tho popular mind, liko woman's reasoning, was generally right. Commenting on the three measures before the House, he said that the Treasury bill was the most objectionable. Under a friendly Secretary it night be made "useful in increasing tho "volume of currency, but under an. unfriendly Secretary it might be dangerous. Personally, he believed that the f ree-coin-a?o bill presented not only the best, but tho quickest; vay to settle the whole question. -irrTTlie believed that it was best to yirt'd something even to prejudice, if by L.-so doing legialaUoiialmostquallv effica cious ana less oujecuonaoie to cae classes could be secured. Such a r asnre was the Republican caucus bill. ZIt. I lower of New York confined hiare:r.rks not to tho silver question, but to a c institutional amendment relegating to the 7:op!o within prescribed localities the choice of such administrative ollicials hosti functions of cilice lio entirely within the prescribed area, and whose choice is of consequence only to the people whom Ciiy immediately serve. ir. Lacey. of Iowa said that the country zs met with a contractionof the currency, 't he banks were calling in circulation. It .i ht be that figures would show as much ironcy in tho United States per capita as thre ever had been, but there was an abrulute shortage of funds. The pending Dill f pro posed to give the country an increase to oti'sot the contraction, and even more. It Taa practically a free coinags bill. The capacity of the mints was $50,000,000. The output of the mines was $ol,000,000. The irce coinage of every dollar of American silver would be about $31,000,000. yet this fbill proposed to give $"4,000.000 a year of leiUtender treasury notes. It was a free coinage measure becaupe it provided that when silver was at par the mints should be open to free coinage. The country needed an expansion of the currency in a safe way, und thi bill provided for it. Mr. Walker of Massachusetts spoko Against free coinage. He asserted that the demonetization of silver was not the cause of a decrease of prices. Prices had been . Koing down for a hundred years. Tho demonetization of silver had not had the --lightest appreciable eliect on the deprecia(t:oa of prices. More money meant more misery. Laushter. Mr. Perkins of Kansas We all love misery. (Laughtcr.1 Mr. Walker said he was going to vote for the pending bill because he.knew that the members of tho House, from 1SC3 up to tho . present time, for the purpose of getting back here, had urged and encouraged the people in their folly until they had come to such a state of mind that something must be done or they would break members up. .(Laughter. J It was pure politics; that was .'all about it. In tho coarse of an argument to show that there was sufficient gold in the world to supply the money demand, he was frequently interrupted by Mr. Payson of Illinois. Mr. Heard of Missouri and others. Tho energy of his replies, taken in connection with tht heat of the day, was too much for Mr. Walker, and. to the merriment of the House, he doffed his coat and t proceeded with his speech in his shirtsleeves. In conclusion he argued that with .improved machinery all products had gone down in price more than farm productions. Mr. Blount of Georgia contended that j eilver demonetization had cast a blight and curse over everybody except the capitalist. This curse was somewhat removed by tha act of 1873 and the business of the I country began to grow more prosperous. The present contraction of the currency was due to tho demonetization act of 1373. To increase the volume of circulation was "the OnlV war to rellAVA Tint nnlu tfiA i i-ri-cultured interest, but every other interest iii me country, lie criticised the Treasury bill, declaring that it was intended to stop tho further coinage of the silver dollar, it relegated silver to the same plane as any other commodity. It was a Wall-street measure a scheme of the old enemy of the i.3..v,.j v iuo ycupic. j.j.o uiso crmciseu, the caucus bill and advocated a free-coin age measure. . ' Mr. Bland of Missouri inquired whether it was in order for him to offer an amend ment. - 'i'kaSpeikcrrepliedthatit was not. nr. Jland said that he could onlv nrotest , nsrajnst the denial of the right of a member f of the minority to offer an amendment. He, s a member of the committee on coinage. weights and measures, had Aitrod whAthr he WOUld be allowed to Offer n. frA.rninarA I V a a. a. - n-i - auuimuie. ine cuairman had replied that it would be so arranged. He did not want to charge anv srentieman with fwtim-4n ii faith, but he did charge that there had been a neglect in carrying out the promises of the committee. The gag law had been placed upon the minority. Why had this been done! It was for the tmrnoi nf n. ing a bill through the House, the effect of which was to demonetize silver. That was the object of it. The bill was a Wall-street lie ratio between gold and silver. It ""recognize silver bnilion according to its uui yaiue. caver was Lemg murrea in the fccuo of its friends.

J lb especially criticited the bullion redempti on cliu-e, aruin that it would prevent c j i":::zizll j er-rmicn'cl to currency.

It would hold out tile -temptation to the Secretary of the Treasury to make millions of dollars out of speculation in Wall street. No Congress which had any regard for the oflicers of the government would hold out such a temptation. Tho free coinage of eilver would not only appreciate silver bullion but would depreciate gold bullion and bring the two metals to a parity. Some men' cried out for dear money and cheap goods. It was a Wall-street cry. and ho had heard its echoes on this floor. The government must either issue iiat money or give unlimited use to gold and. b i I v c r Mr. Kerr of Iowa advocated the bill as a long step in the right direction, and thought it did not merit the- condemnation which the gentlemen- on the other side indulged in. The bill would result in the remonetizatlon of silver and in the two metals ultimately going hand in hand. Mr. Townsend of Colorado said that the departure from the bi-metallic - standard had been tho cause of untold misery to the wage-workers and benetited only those in the enjoyment of fixed incomes, payable in gold. Prosperity would not return and the downward course of prices would not be arrested until silver was returned to its proper place. The only complete and perfect remedy was to reverse the action of 1873 and go back to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Mr. Dorsov of Nebraska said that if Secretary Windom had purchased and coined the maximum amount of silver allowed under existing law (four millions per month) thero would have been no need of this discussion, and he would have strengthened the administration of President Harrison. To that section of the substitute which provided or bullion redemption he emphatically objected. There was no need for such a section; for. if the silver bullion was in the Treasury and could be sold for the gold coin necessary to redeem the notes, no man would ever desire to have his notes redeemed. It had been said, in the case of the specie redemption fund, that if the gold reserve was not in the Treasury the note-holders would want gold. Would it not be better-to cover the one-huudred-million redemption fund into the Treasury and use it aa part of the circulating medium, and in case United States notes were presented for redemption and there was no money to meet the demand allow the Secretary to soil to meet the demand. The bullion redemption feature should be stricken eut, and he appealed to his side of the House to allow a vote on that proposition. Mr. McKae of Arkansas appealed to gentlemen on the other side who believed in free coinage to restore silver to its proper place, not step, by step, but, as it was destroyed, at one jump. The House, at 5 o'clock, took a recess until 8 the evening session to be for general debate oa the silver bill. Mr. Perkins of Kansas acted as Speaker pro torn, at the evening session.. Mr. Barnes of Georgia, spoke in favor of free coinage. Mr. Pfcrrett of Indiana favored a bimetaliio system. Mr. Ellis of Kentucky argued that the pending bill as completely demonetized silver as did the law of 1873. Mr. Burton of Ohio . could not give his assent to free coinage at this time, but he was confident that the pending measure would lead to an equality between the gold and ? silver dollar in this country. Mr. Lane ' of Illinois spoke in opposition to the pending bill. Mr. Shively of Indiana contended that the disparity between the yellow and white metals was due to adverse legislation against the latter metal. Mr. Wickham of Ohio, believing that the pending measure would go a long way in giving relief to tho business-depression of the country, gave it his support. - Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky spoke briefly m favor of free coinage. Mrllolman of Indiana gave a succint history of the demonetization act of 1873. Mr. Heard of Missouri attacked the pending measure. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama advocated free coinage as a panacea for the ills of the fanner. After further debate tho House, at 11 o'clock, adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow. DAILY WEATHER BUIXETE.

Many Unexplained' Insults and Assaults Upon Foreign Missionaries. San Frakcisco. June 6. An Associated Press correspondent, writing from Yokohama, Japan, under date of May 21, says: Some uneasiness prevails among foreigners in Japan, at tho capital, owing to the developments which have followed the murder of tho Canadian missionary. the late Ker. T. A. Largo. Tho excitement occasioned by the news of the murder had just died away when one of the best known foreigners in the city found himself a vic tim of circumstances which compelled his departure, and following close upon that another missionary was set upon by a crowd of students and seriously cut with knives. On May 6 the Rev. James Summers, for many years past proprietor of the English school at Tokio, patronized by tho nobility, was driving in one of the principei thoroughfares of Tokio with his wife when the carriage of the dowager Empress, mothther of tho present Mikado, approached with a cavalry escort. When a member of the royal family passes it is customary for people along the street to nncover their neaus, and summers reignea nis norse into the side of the street and halted. As the carriage approached he took oft hishs roplacing it as soon as the carrii. was past bim.l One of the escort in the rear of the carriage noticed the hat and brought his lance in line with it so that, by accident, the cavalryman struck Summers a severe blow on the head, ihe soldier was at once arrested and courtmartialed. The native press immediately took up the matter, and much feelir.g against the foreigners was manifested by the rough student element known as the Shosei, who were inflamed by the report that Summers had been guilty of an act of disresnoct toward the Empress dowager. They called repeatedly at his school, and so alarmed Summers that he left the school in the hands of the police and left on the Cthinst. by steamer for his home in England, leaving his family in care of friends. The Shosei are greatly excited, and foreign ers are fearing serious outbreaks. . TTnfnrtnnAtelv Mr. Kuminem ia tho same man who about forty years ago caused the by refusing to remove his hat when r. Corpus Christiprocession was passing, lie was thrown into prison by the Portuguese, was rescued by an English admiral, and in the pending oxcitement the Portuguese Uovernor and one other person were Killed. Un the 17th mst. the Japanese students oi the Presbyterian school, known as Meiji Gaquin, started to play a game of base-ball with the students of the Koto Seigakko preparatory school and the feeder to the imperial university or iokio. xtev. u. w. Knox, the American missionary, teacher in Meiji Gaquin accompanied the students from his school. While the game was in progress another American missionary, Jev. W. Imbrey, . of New Jersey, a teacher in the same school, went to the grounds and stepped over a low hedge fence into the held. He was set upon by the Shosei, and beaten about the head and body and sustained severe in juries and knife cuts about the head. No cause is given for the act. lie will, however, recover. Less fear is being shown by the Shosei for the police, and the outcome of the excitement is the topic of general surmise. SAVAGE WARFARE. The French Campaign In Senegambia Na tives Who Preferred Death to Captivity. Paris, June 6. France is conducting a vigorous warfare along the western coast of Africa, not only in Dahomey, but in Senegambia, the most westerly point on the Atlantic coast. This province is ruled over by King Ahmadou, a negro who Las made it uncomfortable for. the French troops which protect the colonial settle ment, comprising a few islands off the main land and a little stretch of fertile terretory lying between the Senegal and Gambia rivers, known as Senegal, of which St. Louis is the capital. Like England and Germany, France has cast covetous eyes on the rich inland country, and while the two former powers are operating chiefly from the east coast, French soldiers are paving the way for their own traders on the west side. A correspondent of Le Temps, writing from St. Louis, relates an incident that not only illustrates a merciless feature of sav age warfare, but shows tho extreme dislike of the natives to fall into the hands of their enemies. The writer, under date of May 6, says: "The telegraph has recently informed you about the taking of the town ofSegon. Commander Archinard, anxious to terminate the campaign by a new feat of arms, marched with a small column, composed of Raillery, upon the town ot Ouosebougou, ih order to disperse the last par tisans of King Ahmadou. Ihe place is a real fortress, three kilometres in circumference, and it was defended by about 1,000 men. The attack began April 21, at 9 o'clock in the forenoon. .Our valiant troops suc ceeded during the day in occupying a portion of the town, but the Toncouluers kept fighting, inch by inch. The battle raged all through the night with great fury. It was a fight corpsacorps, and only on April 25, at 5 o'clock in the evening, were we tho masters of uuosebougou. As to its defenders, not a single one survived; they were killed on the spot or blew themselves tip with their chief. Bandiogou, by setting A- A. 1 ' 1 ure xo ineir powuer magazine, un our side, our soldiers had fired GOO cannon shots and burned 25.000 cartridges. Wo had fifteen killed and seventy-two wounded. The Bambaras auxiliaries are those who suffered the most. Two Europeans oulv were killed, and seven wounded. Among the lat ter are hve omcers, but, fortunately, their wounds are not dangerous. Ahmadou, who was reported as anxious to have his revenge, has not moved from Dianghirte, where he has taken refuge, ihe column continues to-day its route toward Kita." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. How British Agriculturists View the Tithe Question and Church Disestablishment. London, June 6. The English agri culturists who bear the burden of, supporting, the established clergy in the way of tithes on their produce, are very restive under the burden and not at all satisfied with the government bill transferring the payment of rent charge from the tenant to landlord. What they want is a revaluation of the tithe, the circumstances under which tithes were valued at 1SSC, and the high basis which prices then established, be'ing very unsatisfactory now. Tho farmers seem inclined to join in tho clamor for disestablishment, but so far they content themselves with declining to approve the government bill, and are calling for readlustment. The action of the House of Commons in committee last night, however, in. rejecting a proposal to revise the tithe system to meet the altered agricultural conditions, will doubtless induce them to join the ranks of the howlers for disestablishment. British Cabinet Council on Legislation. London, May a As a result of the Cabinet council, held yesterday, the gov ernment announces its resolve to adjourn the session of Parliament at the end of July until the middle of October.

London, June 6.-At Freuden thai, Austrian Silesia, to-day, a mob of four hundred striking weavers attacked and captured by storm all of the factories which had been able to retain or procure a sufficient number of hands to continue running. The rioters met with slight resistance, and w iiCliln .Possession of the factories compelled all of the operatives to cease work and leave the premises. A force of gensdarmes was summoned and dispersed the mob, after a stubborn fight, in which several were wounded; but the intimidated workmen were afraid to return to the factories, which are now at a stand-still.

A St. Louis Dog that Does Duty Intelligent ly at a Railroad Crossing. 8L Louis Post-Dispatch. Scarcely any one who passes the point of intersection of tho Gravois road and the Rf.. T,ouis and Oak Hill railway, fails to no tice a little dog acting as flagman at the railway crossing.'. This little animal is named Uuriy, ana is ine property ana assistant of flagman Edward Howard, stationed at the above named crossing. Curly is a Spanish fox terrier, scarcely over two feet in length, and not quite two years old. When the Oak Hill Railway Company began to operate its road, flagman Howard was assigned to watch the Gravois road-crossing, and to trim the signal lamps. Curly made her home at the watch-house, and when her master would go out to collect the switch-lamps the dog would lie down at the door and patiently await her master's return. One day, as Howard was busy cleaning the lamps, a train dashed into sight around tbe curve. Several wagons were 'approaching the crossing and would probably have driven on, meeting with a serious accident, had not the little animal rushed past its master and begun barking furiously, which had the desired e fleet of stopping the teams. An idoa than struck the master to train tho dog to hold a flag. She could stand on her bind feet with perfect ease, and to hold a red signal-flag in her mouth would be a great help to him. as the passing trains are numerous. It took but very little time "to break her in" to hold a little red flag, and now every time a train whistles she runs to fetch it, and, standing on her hind legs, holds it aloft to warn drivers of wagons of the dancer. The engineers all know the little dog and look out for her. In addition to this flag-work, Curly performs a variety of tricks and is a good mimic. Just now she is rearing a family, but every time an approaching train whistles she gets her flag and does her duty. OLE BULL'S INDEPENDENCE. Perfectly Fearless of Consequences When His Self-Respect Was Injured. Chambers's Journal. The late Ole Bull, the well-kn'own violinist was perfectly fearless of consequences when his self-respect was touched. As an example of this: The Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg gave the musician a letter of commendation to her father, then King of Prussia, afterward the Emperor William, With this he went to Berlin, where, as directed, he called first on the superintendent of tbe Royal Opera-house, to whom he stated his mission. That gentleman was so patronizing that Bull could hardly stand If but eventually an hour was fixed on tho following day for another call at the opera-house, fhe violinist, with his usual punctuality, presented himself at the hour, determined to staud no nonsense. "Where is your violin!" demanded the superintendent. In the case," responded Ole Bull, coolly. 'And where is the case?" "At the hotel." "But did not I tell you to play for me!" "Excuse me, sir." was the answer: "I did not think you were in earnest. I play either for money or honor, and in this case neither is in question." The manager strait riifi ued. and he replied sharply. "I can not present you to his Majesty without haviug heard you." 'If the request of the Grand Duchess is not a sufficient recomTv,rtAtion to his Majesty, her father. I am nntent to leave tho city," which he did
