fresh stage of development. &reat Britain, and possibly China, beiug substituted lor fciatn in the final settlement." The Tunes lias no leader on the sabject. Its liangkog correspondent telegraphs: "When the French seiztd the Main mail steamer the native crew were unaware of the blockade. They were panic-strickeu and deserted the snip. Thereupon the French hoarded her and ran ber u ground. The seizure is regarded as illegal." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Tost telegraphs: "The strongest outside influence is being brought to bear on M. Devflle by the principal members of the Colonial party to mako hi rn adopt a more hostile attitude toward the Knglish claims than he personally is iucline.l to adopt. They are furious because a French protectorate has not been created in Sinni. ' The standard says editorially: "Nobody can donbt that hiaiu was well advised to surrender, bat tbe European estimate of French fairness, never very high, villi be appreciably lowered. We have no reason, however, to ttrodge France her cleverly prepared electoral success. It would have been quixotic and unwar rantable for ns to have interfered actively, and whntever questions ario between Great Britain And Francomust be denned at once with the utmost clearness. If France cherishes peace as warmly a9 does England there ought not to be any insuperable difficulty in arrau lute matters with perfect friendliness." The Daily News understands that a meeting of tbe Cabinet will be held to-dny to consider questions arising from the Siamese dittionlty. "Siaui's acceptance of France's ultimatum of course has done a irood deal to dimmish anxiety," say a to News, "bntithasby no moans settled the ditiioulty between France and this country." After commenting on (ireat Britain's refusal to recognize the blockade the News continues: "Within the fortyewhl hours which ended at midnight yesterday the whole Question of the bloeknde and the presence of British vessels at Bangkok assumed tbe grayest aspect It was evident that a blockae continned after Siam'e submission could only be directed against Hritish commerce. Happily, France appreciated the gravity of the eitnation, and there is con reason to hope and believe that the blockade will be withdrawn. There will still remain, however, important matters for negotiation between Great Britain ana France. We hope that the French Ministry now will permit itself to understand tbe interests of its country in th matter. This country has been hardly neti. not by France, but by a portion of th't French press. We used all possible forbearance in the dispute, and deipite the relative magnitude of snr interests aid not stir a finger to save Siam. We counseled io ivery possible way surrender and in conformity with our conrudssach was made. What remains it is no', in SumV power to bestow. One part of the territory which the French covet is occupied by, China; the other la no more the property of Hiara for cession than of Timbuctoo. Some Frenchmen simply shut their eyes to this. It remains to be seen whether they become the dupes of others who are better informed, but who are content to trade on Ignorance for their political ends." The Daily Telegraph says: "Great Britain' attitude towards France throughout has been uniformly courteous and considerate. Doubtless the firm stand taken by Lord Hosebery bs been aj timely warning to tbe French advocates of a spirited policy." Tho Daily Chronicle says: "The somewhat shadowy injuries alleged to have been sustained by France receive ample amends by a well. tilled breeches pocket. Tbe settlement is not equitable, perhaps, but it might be worse for Siam, and since it ends a situation in which England might have become entangled it is cordially welcome." Situ iMon tit Jlittiglcwk. Bangkok, July SO. While the government of Siam accepted, without reservations, France's ultimatum, it received previously the assurance that the kingdom would not be dismembered until after the consideration by nil powers concerned of Franco's demand for the territory between the eigh teenth and twenty-third parallels. It is somewhat remarkable that before Prince Vadihani. Siam's minister in Paris, could have received his instructions to accept the ultimatum. Great Britain's refusal to recognize the blockade had become known in this city. The British residents here, while rejoicing over the action of the home government, do not forget to give credit to Captain Jones. British minister in Bangkok, for his caref nl and judicious conduct throughout the critical period. Whenever his advice was sought by the court. Captain Jones pronounced in favor of moderation and concession. The blookade is still maintained by the Forfait. Lutin. Inconstante, Comete and Lion. Tbe British war ships Pallas and fcwift remain at the Menam bar, inside the blockade limits. The British war ship Linnet and the German war ehip Wolf are at anchor in the river otF Bangkok. The British government mail has been allowed to pass, but mercantile correspondence with Siamese firms has been cut oft. An effort is making, therefore, to render efficient an overland postal service via Tavoy and Kan goon. Tbe French have seized the Siamese mail teamer Chantal and tbe Hong Kong steamer l'hra Chnla, with 400 Chinese aboard her. The Phra Chnla was eventnalJy allowed to land her passengers and cargo at Bangkok. She will sail tor Hons; Kong to-morrow. Of the British steamers rendered idle by the 'blookade. twelve are in trade with Hong Kong, eight with Singapore and ono la trade with Bombay.

The Radicals have begun a revolutionary movement in the provinces of Buenos Ayres and Santa Fe, and fighting has been going on in thirty towns in the first named province since daybreak. According to advices so far received the insurgents seem to be victorious. There was desperate righting at Kosario, the battle lasting six hours. Drr Aleni, tbe Kadloal leader, has issued a manifesto declaring that tbe time has corns for the people to rise and reconquer their tights and liberties. The traoksof tbe Southern and Western Ensenada Kailroads have been torn up in several places by the revolutionists with the view of preventing or delaying the transportation of troops or munitions, of war. A meeting of Kadioals was held here at noon today. Troops and polioe were stationed at the principal points throughout the city to guard against an uprising. Dispatches from San Lnls say that an uprising took place in that province on Saturday. The government has asked Congress to proolaitn a state of siege in the provinces of San Luis. Santa Fe and Buenos Ayres. General Costa has notified the central government that he does not need national eupDort. He states that she radical forces were defeated at Kosario, losing sixty killed and wounded. The latest dispatcher say that the Governor and members or tbe Ministry of San Luis have been imprisoned by the Radicals, who have established a government composed of members of their own party.

EASTERN BANKS SWINDLED

AlIeM to Have Bonn Dfrandd Oat of 51,500,000 on Furd Certificates, Three Worthies Notes on Which an Elmira, N. I., LSink Paid $45.000 A TMUr'a Confession Curtailing Operations. ItAMiS SWINDLED. Nerr England and ew York Concerns Vic tlmiz-d to the Extent of 81.5 0,000. Nkw York, July SO. The World's Doston special says that a huge conspiracy has been unearthed, whereby seventy .three banks and banking institutions in New England were victimized. The story is to the ellect that certain employes of tbe Northern Pacific Elevator Company, of Minnesota issned f 1,500.000 worth of forged duplicate certificates for grain on storage in country elevators, owned by the con cern, where the inspection Is not so strict as at the terminal elevators. These forged certificates were deposited witb Eastern banks as collateral. About fSoO.000 was secured in New England and tb balance in New York, fcomi of the Eastern holders of the paper became suspicious, and. on an Investigation beinit made, the true state of a flairs came to light. The stockholders of the elevalors were duuifoanded when tbe facts came to tneir notice and oilers of settlement with the bnka were at once made and terms of compromise offered. The com pany was then reorganized as the Lake Superior Elevator Company, with George Cook, secretary of David Dows & Co., New Vork. as president. The terms offered to the banks were CO per cent. cash, tbe remainder to be paid in five annual payments. A committee of bankers whose institutions hold large blocks of tbe elevator certificates was appointed to consider this proposition. it is impossible to say exaotly what course the bankers will pursue, as they are loath to talk. and. in faot, they have done all in their power to keep the whole affair from tho public The few who do say anything and they are very few admit that they have been swindled, and declare that the swindlers ought to be sent to prison. At tbo same time they say that good business policy, under present conditions, for. bids such severe action, especially as the stockholders of the elevator company are ready to make a coniDromise settlement. The Northern Pacific Elevator Company is now in the bands of a receiver, and the lrauds of its employes have wiped out its existence. Among the New England bunk's swindled are nearly ail the State institution here, which were hit heavily, hanks at Portland. Me., and various banks in tho towns about Hoston. Mr. George D. Cooksey, the new vioe president of tbe Lake Superior Elevator Company, in reply to a question as to the truth of the above story, diotated the following statement: "The Lake Superior Elevator Company and the Union Improvement Company, both of Duluth. own a majority of the stock in two country elevator companies, namely, the Red Valley Kle. vntor Company, on the lino of the Great Northern railroad, and the Northern Pacific Company. on the lin of the Northern Pacilic. Neither of these latter companies is in any way connected with the organization of the railway company on whose lines it operates. The business of all the four elevator companies consists of buying wheat from ttie farmers, wbo, when the crop is moving in the fall, store it either along the lines of the railroads or in tbe terminal elevators at Duluth, and in making sales of the same grain for future delivery at a pro tit. In order to oonduct this business the companies are necessarily borrowers of money, and they have been put into their present difficulties by the officers of tho country companies attempting to do too large a business on borrowed capital. The stockholders are at work reorganizing tbe companies on a basin which will pay the creditors in full and allow them to resume their business under a new management. In the meantime a thorough investigation of the affairs or the companies 1s being made in order to ascertain the exact nature of the mismanagement which has led to the disaster. Until their investigation has been completed it would not be proper on our Part to characterize tba mismanagement." Mr. Cooksey would not say whether he believed there bad been any intentional fraud in counootion with the matter. TltKKE WOIITIILKSS NOTES. Where 854.000 of th Failed Elmira (X. Y.) National Itsnk Went. New Yohk, July a The Herald tells an interesting story in connection with the failure of tbe Elmira National Dank, of Elmira. N. Y. After the failure three notes, aggregating $51,000, turned up among the assets. All of them bore a New York date, and all were made on tbe same day. One was for 17,000 made payable on dt-mand to the order of the Elmira National Dank, and signed by Geo. R. Israel, and the others, madein tbe same form, were signed, tbe first for 81 'J. 000 by II. S. Roll, and the second for $18,000 by F. M. Mollenhauer. These notes, it is stated, were deposited in the Elmira National Dank by Col. D. C. Kobiniou, Mayor of that city, and a son of the late Gov. Lucius Robinson, and discounted by Cashier Dusb. Colonel Uobinson wasa large stookbolder in tbe bank. The identity of the signers of the three notes was a matter of the deepest mystery. Dank officials came to New York to learn who they were and the extent of their financial responsibility. Dnt their names could not be located in New York or Drooklyn directories, or in the ratings of commercial agencies. At last their identity has transpired. They are clerks iu tbe banking bouse of Isaao D. . New com he &. Co., in the United Trust Dnilding. Not a single one of them has a dollar outside of a clerical salary. They signed tbe notes at the request of Col. D. C. Robinson. They did it on their own responsibility, and simply to accommodate tbe Colonel, vrbom they believed to be a millionaire. They never expeoted to pay the notes, and they probably never will. TAKINO IN SAIL. The Westlnghonse, Carnegie and Other Companies Reducing: Their Working Forces. Pittsburg, July SO. The working forces of the Westingbouse Air-brake Company, at Wilmerding, will, it is stated, be further reduced by the temporary discbarge of between two hundred and three hundred men. Those who remain at work will suffer a reduction of from fifteen to twenty percent in wages. Two weeks ago four hundred men were discharged. The above order goes into effect to-morrow. Such reduction has not been offered to workingmen in mills In the westeru part of the State for many years. It is not thought that tbe workmen will make any remonstrance. The trouble among the iron mills, resultins from the unsettled financial conditions, have at last come to affect the steel works of the Carnegie company at Homestead. Commenoing to-morrow night the night turn will not run in tha plate mill. This is signtticant because this department has never been slack of orders before. It has been running three turns, and under the new arrangement the men in each turn will work every third week. The announcement of the change caused general comment and escalation, and some startling stories ar atloat in Homestead. telegram from Washington, Pa., says that tbe skilled men in the tube and bendinc department at tho Tyler tube works went out yesterday to resist a cut in wanes, 'lbe men state they will leavn town before they will work at the reduced price. The cut ranges from 10 to 50 cents perd iy. The ir.eu averted had aiven notice last Saturday that the) would quit work if the proponed cut was made, and, when they were told yesterday that their pay hereof ler would be ut tho lower Ug-urc-s, they quit.

First National Dank of Paterson, N. J., Robbed of Over SIO.OOO. Paterson, N. J.. July 30. A defalcation of $10.G50 has been discovered iu the cash of tbe First National Hank of this city. The money has been abstracted since July 1. The loss was discovered by United States Bank Examiner George W. Stone in an official examination last Friday. He in formed the otlicers of the bank and went before Alfred Van Hovenbere. commissioner of the Circuit Court of New Jersey, and made a complaint against Abram Fardon, the paying teller. Tbe latter was arrested last eveniup and committed to the county jail. The money was taken from four packages containing $5.C00 each. Tendollar bills were abstracted from them and replaced with one-dollar bills. The bank is insured with tbe Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York, lor 910.000. leaving o loss to the bank of only 60. which on Saturday was charged to proht and loss by tbe directors. The defaulting teller is fifty years old and unmarried. He has been connected witn tho bank for twenty-five yeirs, and some years ago was cashier of it. He has always been considered an upright man and bad the confidence of the otlicers and depositors of the bank. He admitted that he was responsible for the loss and asked that he be committed to prison. SAVINGS BANKS SOUND. Chauncey M. Depew Discusses the Action of New York Institutions, New York, July SO. Chauncey M. Depew, when asked if bethought the aotion of New Yorksavings banks in demanding sixty days' notice of withdrawal of deposits indicated weakness, replied: "Not at all. The savines banks of the State are perfectly sound. The average depositor is never able to understand why the savings banks cannot pay interest and at the same time be able to give up to depositors their money instantly. Ha seems nnable to comprehend that the trustees of savings batiks, in order to get interest must invest the money which is committed to their keeping in bonds. Mid mortgages, and other securities where the money is loaned upon them. It cannot be called as a rule for less than a year." "Snopoao snoh a call were to be made now." suggested the reporter, "what would be the result now!'' VeIl. if all the savings bank mortgages were to be called at a time like this, distress wonld ensue after a forced sale, and sacrifice of farms and homes would produoe a condition which would be little 1-83. if, indeed, it would be less at all. than what would bo occasioned by tbe blockading of a city." Ilriilih Cold Coming? to America London, July 83. It is understood that S2.000.000 of gold will be shipped within the next two weeks to the Unite! Htats and the belief is that several millionsmore will be sent over before the end of tbe year. Of the ten failures, but one was important. Two failing firms paid 20 shillings on tbe pound, business has been almost suspended. Tbe dealings were confined to a few investment securities. Yesterday an easier feeling au regards the future was notice able. Foreign securities have been steady and the Siamese complications have had little effect on tbe market. The Paris bourse also suffered little from the uncertainty of JSiam's attitude towards Franco. Prices were fairly lirm, although most foreign soourities declined somewhat.

The Chlno beet sugar factory, tbe largest in the United States, with a maximum reducing capacity of 740 tons of beets per day, will start tomorrow morning. 'lhe industry gives direct employment to two thousand men in Cbino and seven hundred at Anaheim. The crop of the Cbino ranch is estimated at lit ty thousand tons. Tbe crop to be shipped from Anaheim is, ten thousand tous. The factory will run day and . night through the season, reducing tho acreage of six hundred tons of beets daily. The output for the eeuson will be 16,000,000 pounds of refined eugar. CRUEL W0HK OF LYNCHERS Two Negroes Flowed Almost to Death, Then llunged and Riddled with Shot. Another Probably Served in the Sams WayAll Three Accused ut Assaulting a Woman at Gaston, 8. C Confession by One.. Columbia, S. C, July SO. Two negroes who committed an assault upon Mrs. Siuhtler, of Gaston, were lynched to-day. Will Thompson, an overgrown sixteen-year old negro was caught near Columbia, and taken to Gaston early this morning, where bis captors were met by a mob of two hundred people, who were joined by a hundred men from this city. Thompson confessed that he and Tom Preston and Andy Kaipler, all colored, committed the crime one week ago. The crowd proposed to pail him up in a turpentine' barrel and barn him, but instead be was hung to a amall tree. Before the hanging Arch Sightler, husband of the woman, laid fifty lashes upon the negro's bare back with a heavy buggy trace, every blow bringing blood. When he sot tired another man tooK his place and continued the whipping. Thompson could not yell as the rope around his neok choked him. After the hanging a hundred men fired into tbe body with pistols, shotguns and ritles. Hardly a square inch of his body escaped a bullet. Atll o'clock Preston was captured eleven miles from Gaston, and was taken to tbe scene of the early morniug tragedy. Here all the horrors of the Thompson lynching were re-enaoted. Prestou was stripped and pinioned to the same scaffold which had served for Thompson. Arch Sightler, with the same heavy buggy tog, beat the unfortunate wretch, and when he was exhausted the whipping was continued by others of tho mob. until the negro's entire body was a mass of bleeding flesh. At 1 o'clock, after Preston had regained consciousness, he was swung np to the samelimb to which Thompson had been hung four hours before aud his body riddled with bullets. Preston declared his innocence to tbe last. AtO o'clock to-night the mob at Lexington Courth ouso has swelled to fully one i thous and people, and en attack upon the ! jail where Kaiitler is conHned was momentarily expected. It is not believed that the abend' will oiler any serious resistance. Mov-mmt of Steamers. London. July SUbted: Kaiser Wilhelm II, from New York; Weimur, from Baltimore. Nr.w Yhk, July IX.

Late United Government KOVEIj PLAN OF SILYR(T3. Concluded from First Ptssre.1 adopt in tbe way of ft substitute. We are going to ank for a ratio of sixteen to one, and 1 believe that is fair." Hon. Arobie Fish;, president of the Panatnohcan lUmetallio League, eaid: "The unconditional repeal of tte Sherman law without a good substitute would demonetize silver entirely and increase the purchasing power or a sold dollar. It woala mean eventually bankruptcy to bauks if they attempted to operate on a gold basis. It would mean that more than one railroad would go into the hands of a receiver the first time that interest on bonds was defaulted. No railway could overpay another interest coupon. Kngland is simply seeking todiotate the financial policy of the world." Hon. Charles S. Thomas, the "Tall Sycamore of the Hockles," hoped that tbe Chieago convention would result in some good for silver. There was a prominent member of the delegation, a man who owns nearly $1,(XX).000 worth of property iu Denver, ana has plenty of money tied np in the brokeu banks, wbo said: "To show you how we arenxedl might remark that 1 have to borrow $100 to go to tho convention with." Judge W. M. Kerr, a delegate at large from Colorado, and whose home is at Cripple Creek, is one of tbe most enthusiastic advocates of free silver. He took occasion to defend Governor YVaiteforbiautteranoo: "If England foroes us to tbe wall we will ride in blood up to the bridle bite," which Mr. Kerr declared was distorted and falsified in the interest of the moneyed men. He will argue before the convention that the men in the West wbo made the American desert bloom and blossom as tbe rose aud who planted the American Hair on the topmost peaksof the Rookv mountains became pioneers under a distinct contract that they should receive the protection of the Government, They established American citizenship which is Dot found anywhere in the country, and they have a right to ask the Nation whose resouroes they have helped to develop to be honest and fair with them. John Cook. jr.. wbo is chairman of the delegation, was rather more conservative than Senator Hill. "We are going to Chicago, not Anarchists," he said, "but simply as men asking for what is right and hoping to get it through reasonable presentation of our cause. I do not think Cleveland will veto the act we ask for, as he already sees the lalso position be has taken, and is coming to understand that the couutry must have money. llelieve Congress will repeal tbe tiherman law and then give as free silver. Our tight is not for gain, but for our wives, and children, and homes." Col. James H. Piatt, whose attack on Senator bherman called forth sncb a spirited reply from tbe Senator, said tbe delegates were looking only for justioe. He thought the Sherman law would be repealed and iree coinage substituted. Governor Walte said: "If Congress repeals the present law without giving a better oua, it will kill Colorado." He argued that Colorado industries were interdependent, and to cripple one would be to cripple all. He felt confident the outcome would be to Colorado's benelir. Ex-Governor Kontt regarded the situation as one of extreme gravity, and said the delegates would not deoide on a plan of aotion until after meeting in Chicago tomorrow. ADDRESS TO POPULISTS. George F. Washburn Want Foreign "Gold Hug:" Driven from Our Short?. Boston, July SO. George F. Washburn, of this city, chairman of the Eastern division of tbe national division of the People's party, has sent to the chairman of the State committees a circular letter conveying his views on the silver question. It is, in part, as follows: "The most gigantic trnst the world has ever seen is the present international bondissning and silver-boycotting syndicate. Tbe most colossal conspiracy the world lias ovsr known is tbe present one originated and guided by Uaron Kothscbild. Their silver scheme is an attempt to enslave a whole world, and In a wholesale manner swindle aud plunder God's people. The first step in this international plot, on the part of the usurers, will be to still further corner our circulation here in America aud then force an isnancn of bonds as a means of relief. If half of the population of the world usfs silver, and if half the metal currency is and always hai been silver, how can we increase our volume of circulation bv Ntriking down one-half of the amount!

Let us rally onoe more as an American people and demand tbe restoration of the money of our fathers. We can drive these foreign money invaders from our shores forever if we begin right now. The solution of the problem is to be found in the money plank of the People's platform. Now is onrohance to agitate. Katly in attendance at the silver conventions. Make clear to the people the fact that if silver coes down gold goes up. It will take more labor from the wage earner, more merchandise from tne business man. aud more wheat, corn and cotton from tbe farmer than ever before to buy the gold dollars of the bankers; therefore, these wealth-producing classes must unite to prevent this proposed robbery and oppression. it OPPOSED TO THE SHERMAN ACT. Representative Geary and Senator Quay Favor ltepeal of the Lh. Washington', July 0. The advance guard of members of tbe Fifty-third Congress, coming to attend the special session which will begin a week from to-morrow, are at tho capital. There are not many of them, and the probabilities are thai bnt few Congressmen will be in tbe city before next Saturday. Among those wbo have arrived the opinion seems to be unanimous that the Sherman law will and must be repealed, or, at least, the silver-purchasing clause, but what shall follow is an unknown quantity. One of tbe early ni rivals is Keoreseutative Geary, of California, known to lame in connection with the i.inese exclusion and registration act, which bears his name. He said: "1 am opposed to the so-called Sherman act. 1 have always been, it is vicious, and time does not improve it. The sooner it is repealed tbe better for the whole country. Of course some subsequent legislation will be necessary, but 1 am not prepared to say what it will be, because at this time I do not know. I am satisfied, however, that the bherman law will go, and that in its stead we will have something of benetit instead of harm, i could not tell you bow my colleagues individually stand, for I have had no very extended talks with them on the subject. In place of the present tarilt law tbe chances are that we will have one that is new from top to bottom. Tbero will be very radioal changes in tbe schedule. Tbe country expects this. The declarations of the Democratic platform are so plain that there is no chance to misunderstand them. 1 donot think that action upon tbe silver question or the tariff will be so long delayed as some papers and persons seem to have imagined. The session will naturally be lengthy as we have many other things to do. The Democracy will come out all right. I guess. It has a fair working majority and 1 think both aides the silver men and sincle standard men aro disposed to be reasonable." Another equally interesting and important congressional cbaraoter is Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, who said, in reply to a question on the prevailing topic: "I think the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act should be repealed. That scorns to be tbe consensus of opinion from those who know most about tbe financial situation. 1 would be satisfied to have Congress adjourn after that having been done, until the regular time of meeting." Ex-Speaker Crisp arrived in Washington this evening, from Ueorgia, and took op his old quarters in tbe Metropolitan llofi. Tbe ex-Speaker came direct from his home, where, as bo says, he has been enjoying himself and paying little attention to politic. He looks like a robust man, and will enter upon tbe duties of his second teiin blessed with the best of health, speaking generally of the condition of atiairs in the South. the ex-.Speaker says there is the feeling of distrust and the same hard times that characterize the whole country. The cotton crop has just begun to come in. hut tbe fear of the people is that they will have trouble in eectirintc the necessary money to move it. The cotton crop requirestbe use of a largo amount of money in a short time, and all tbo paper issued by the growers is made payable after the cotton crop has been gathered. Consequently this can't be counted npon to help, and money must be bad lrom other sources. Tbe bank in tbe Tat have got what they ncedod from tbe Now Vork institutions, but tbe Nw York bankers say they cannot let tbe money go. Just what the result will be cannotnow be told, but Mr. Crisp hopts that some way will be speedily fouud by the bankers of' tbe cottuu Statee to supply tbe funds to get this staple of the South to market. When asked whether this distrust was due to the existence of the Sherman law, Mr. Crisp replied that it was certainly due to a want of publta confidence, but exactly what caused that conditiuu he was not prepared to say. Mr. Criso is not inclined to tulle freely upon the probability of the repeal of tbe Sherman law. and does not say whether he believes it will be repealed or not. foiling a question in that direction by the statement that he bad not hern here long enough to talk with members, und until he found what the sentiment was ho could

TENNSYLVAN IA not make aDy predictions. The bare question of repeal could hardly, Mr. Crisp thought, be considered alone, for while it was true that tho Democratio party was opposed to the law aud demanded its repeal in the platform, 11 was not known to what extent condition! would be insisted upon. Mr. Crisp would not say he stood npon tho proposition ta repeal the law and en trt a sab-tituto dto viding for the tree otinsse of Amerionc silver at an increased tatio. It waa only after a full considerat on of the ditf-rent propositions that cuibt te made that Mr. crisp though, u liiiAl result wotill bo readied, but what trat result would be tie would not venture to preuiot. In regard to the rules, the ex-Speaker reiterated what he said when he was in the city on JulyS. At the close of the last Congress members thoncht there would have to be a change, so that those charged with responsibility might he in a position to assume it. What the change contemplated, however, be was unable to telL Of one thin Mr. CriiD was confident, and that was tho com in a sessiou would not be a brief one. lie was of the opinion that tho settlement of the silver iuetion would consume some time, and that after it had been disposed ol. the taritt would ba taken up. tbe members preferring rather to stay after they were here than adjourn and run the chance of a pro traded session later on. While tho Speaker has given tbe subject oi the composition of toe committees more or less attention, he said that he would probably not announce them for two weeks after tho Congress began, for. in tbe meantime, ha desired to c onfer with members as to their wishes. Anv other course, he said, would be manifestly unfair. Mr. Crlp expects the President to bring tbe tariff prominently before Congress, either coupled with the question o;' nuance or iu a nubse'jut nt menage bearing directly upon the subject. 1 he ex. Speaker looks forward to along and arduous session of Congress. The Her. Thomas Spumeon preached at the Tabernacle yesterday for the first time Ince his return from Auoklsnd.
