SENATOR SHERMAN'S SrEKCII. III Vlerr on the Pendln Financial Qncstlon. The character of Ernest Seyd. the great English financier," was vindicated today by John Sherman of Ohio. The events which have led 4o the denunciation of Ernest Seyd by all the free coinage men of the continent occurred twenty years ago, and the great London economist has passed beyond the judgment or the revenge of this world, but he could not have a more valiant defender had he stood at the bar of Justice. It was more than a defense, it was a eulogy; and the austere Ohio senator was warmed to emotion as he reviewed the history of demonetization and denounced those who have assailed the character of Ernest Seyd. At the recent national convention of bimeUllists at Chicago the assertion was made dozens of times that Seyd visited this country in 1873 as the agent of the gold men of the old world and that he purchased the demonetization of silver by paying American senators and representatives $500.000 to secure the passage of the demonetizing: act of 1S73. As John Sherman was the author of that legislation, he defended his own character today in defending the character of Ernest Seyd, and this fact may account for some of the vehement utterances that escaped the lips of the man noted for his Impassive nature. By successive stops Mr. Sherman reviewed the acts leading up to the act of 1873 and showed that Seyd was In Europe at the time the bill was originated and until It was nearly through the legislative mill, and that the only view he had ever expressed on the bill was In a letter written In response to a leading American financier who had asked for the opinion of the gro.t English, expert. Mr. Sherman quoted from a book of Ernest Seyd from the public library, showing that Seyd was himself a warm advocate of bimetallism, and concluded by saying that hereafter he should denounce as deliberate falsifiers those who repeated the calumnies in regard to the legislation of 1873. After the routine morning business In tb seaate todajr. the till for the repeal

of the Sherman act was taken up. and Mr. Sherman proceeded to address the senate. He said that If the repeal of the purchasing clauses of the act of July. 1&90, 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, he said, congress and the people agreed, that was, that both gold and silver should be continued In use a3 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 not call It bimetallism. Mr. Sherman then proceeded to discuss the history of the act that bears hi3 name. He was not In favor of free coinage of silver, and regarded It as but another name for the monometallism of silver, and was only In favor of the purchase of silver for the purposes of coining. The conferrees of the two houses agreed upon their differences, and in that agreement secured the repeal of the BlandAlllson act. Mr. Sherman reminded senators that when they criticised the law that was misnamed after him they should remember that this law, now on the statute books, was far better than either the house bill or that passed by the senate. The president had, Mr. Sherman said, set forth the decline in the value of silver, but had failed to give the causes of that decline. If he had taken a broader view of the causes of that decline he could have explained It all. It was due, Mr. Sherman said, to the fact that we were called upon to pay our debts, debts payable in gold. England was the great creditor country, and we should neither be ashamed of nor hate her; we are her children and partake much of the characteristic of the parent stock. England's losses in the Argentine Republic had to be made good, and the returns our securities and demands the goid needed to save her own institutions from going down. For the first time also in a number of years the balance of trade was against us, and we had to make the differences good. The Cause of the Trouble. After discussing other matters contributing to the present condition, Mr. Sherman declared that an erroneous impression had been created when it was claimed that the Sherman law was the cause of all the trouble, and this, he said, with all due deference to Mr. Cleveland. Still the fact was that congress must deal with a situation and not a measure. He believed in giving the devil his due and was ready to stand by the law, not as a measure in which he took my special pride, for he was compelled to yield in order to prevent disastrous legislation. But without this law what vould the country have done in 1831 and 1S92 had it been called upon then to meet the difficulties now staggering us? He was not a new convert to the repeal of he law, for a year ago he introduced a oill to suspend Its operations. It was vord.-d almost exactly like that of Mr. oorhees's. Why did not the democrat!' senators then see the dangers they now see, and come to the help of the republicans when they sought to suspend the law? Not a democratic vote was had then and democrats must answer why. This was a currency famine; not tin :Var that the money of the country was not good, and the people shoul.l not b. Jeceived as to the reasons for the repeal. Mr. Sherman did not believe the repeal of the law would in any consider ible degree relieve the country from the existing stagnation. Its repeal A-ould ease the money market from th Ireaded fear of the free coinage- of silver. The law was denounced by tin lemoeratic party as a miserable makehift. It was a makeshift and a good ;r.e. intended to prevent the ills growng out of the free coinage of silver The democratic party was now charge' vith a great responsibility, and Mr herman warned them that if they at tempted to alter the existing tariff 'aws they would plunge the country into deeper distress than now exists. Taking it for granted that the Sherman 'aw would be repealed, what of tlu 'uture? Mr. Sherman, while not thr idviser cf the democratic party, sale" ':e was entitled to give his opinion a. in American citizen. First of all. we must preserve intact the parity of al' ur money. It might be necessary t 'ssue our securities to secure gold tr nalntaln this parity, the only way by vhlch we can summarily secure gold The balance rf trade may be against again next year, and If such a condition should arise, the secretary of th reasury ought to have the authority to make thf deficit fc'ood. Senator Voorheea Iiiterrnpta. Mr. Vnorhes replied that he never 'ntended to refer to the senator from Ohio, for four years ago he had effect:al'y cleared himself from any participation In that matter "Hereafter." said Mr. Sherman. "whn any man makes such a statement about thl'egislatlon I shall simply say that it "s a falsehood and brand It so. It is -1 range that on the vote of this bithat the distinguished senator from Nevada. Mr. Stewart, voted for it and I, 'the devil fish, voted against it." " The last rock was in reference to an epithet applied to Mr. Sherman durinr the debate In the house last week. Mr. Stewart retorted that in due time he would explain how he came to vote for the bill. "There was nothing surreptitious about it," said Mr. 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, lie; I care not by whom made. "It was sometimes said that Gen. Grant knew nothing of this demonetization." continued Mr. Sherman. "What kof it? General grant was not a financier, but his secretary of the treasury wrote a report urging the passage of such a bill. In the face of such a report how could members of congress plead ignorance?" Mr. Sherman would rather stand here and say he voted knowingly and understanding than shirk responsibility by pleading the baby act. Goes After Strimrl. He caused general laughter among senators and in the galleries when he quoted from one of Mr. Stewart's speeches In the debate on the bill he was discussing, In which he (Mr. Stewart) said: "Gold is the universal standard of the world," and argued in favor of the gold dollar as removing every element of doubt In fixing values and enabling the working man to know exectly what his labor .was worth. It was not until silver became a cheaper dollar than gold that anyone demanded it, and then it was to take advantage of a creditor. The purchase of silver by the United States when all others had stopped it was an improvident use of the public money. Instead of striking down silver he wanted to build It up, but It could not be done by the United States alone, lie believed the best thing to do was to suspend the purchase of silver and devote attention to the needs of the hour. He would give the party In power authority to protect the credit of the government at home and abroad, and after waiting to see what the effect of the Indian policy was and the further efforts of an International conference, the present clouds of gloom would disappear. Senator Stewart, at the conclusion of Mr. Sherman's speech, said he would give the "true history" of demonetization next Tuesday. Mr. Teller followed Mr. Voorheea. first clvlniC noUco

that he would tomorrow ask the senate to set aside the pending bill in favor of house bill No. 1, the Wilson bill as reported to the senate.

THE IIOfSK RILES. Members I)lcu the Proposed Code Without Result. The house today discussed the proposed code of rules without result. -The session was dull and uninteresting and but little attention was paid to the speakers. Mr. Talbot asked unanimous consent to Introduce a bill repealing the statutes authorizing the appointment of marshals and supervisors of election. Mr. DIngley objected. Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky, from the committee on appropriations, reported the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, which appropriates $300,000. and it was passed. The items are: 525,000 for bank note paper; $200,000 for recolnage of subsidiary coins, and $75,000 for clerks to representatives. The house then resumed the consideration of the new code of rules. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois spoke in favor of an amendment, which he proposed to offer at a suitable time, having in view the prevention of filibustering. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Grosvenor, Holman, Dipgley and Outhwalte. The rules were then considered by paragraphs. Mr. Wilson of Washington offered an amendment increasing the membership of the committees on ways and means and appropriations from seventeen to nineteen, the additional members to be appointed from the territory west of the Missouri river, which at present has no representation. The amendment was defeated. The President' Thanks. The following telegram from President Cleveland respecting the vote in the house Monday on the silver question was received this morning by Chairman Wilson, who introduced the repeal bill: BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass, Aug. 28. Hon. William L. W'ilson. Washington: Please accept for yourself and your associates in today's achievement my hearty congratulations and sincere thanks. GROVEFt CLEVELAND. Comptroller Eckels Sustained. Comptroller Eckels Is informed that the court has sustained him In the position he took in the case of the Washington national bank of Tacoma, Wash. The decision is regarded as important, sustaining the right of the comptroller of the currency to the pole control under the law of the national banks of the country.

Byers, the wealthy Pittsburg banker and iron manufacturer, arrived from Duluth with Mrs. E. Dill. They put up at the Windsor hotel, and on Tuesday Mrs. Byers arrived from Pittsburg, and, going directly to the hotel, charged her husband and Mrs. Dill with breaking the seventh commandment. This charge so excited Mr. Byers that he became temporarily insane. Dr. Tallman of Chicago was summoned by telegraph. He came, explained matters to the satisfaction of Mrs. Hyen and the party went back to Chicago together. It seems Mr. Byers had been threatened with paresis for some time and went to Chicago for treatment under Dr. Tallman. His recovery, was slow, and at Dr. Tallman's suggestion Mr. Byers went to Duluth abtrut two days ago, taking with him Mrs. E. Dill of Chicago as nurse. Tiring of Duluth, Mr. Byers and his nurse came here. Hearing of their movements and thinking something was wrong, Mrs. Byers came here and was the central figure in the sensational scene related above. FOOLED TUB MOB.

They captured an engine on the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap & Louisville railroad, but could get no train to run with It In the meantime Sheriff Colson had taKen to the mountains and the mob was again foiled. Everything and everybody Is at fever heat, and there are a thousand conflicting rumors. Col.

STATUS OF REPEAL,

Anti Silver Men in the House Perfecting Plans To Deal with the Bill After Passing the Senate. Speaker Crisp May Refer It to a Committee, BUT NOT TO MR. BLAND'S. It Will Doubtless Go to tha Committee on Banking. A Majority of Tn Expected for the 'Measure, While Early Actionls Likely to Be Taken. The Silver Senators Growing More Restless Over the Feellns; That the Measure Will Pas the Senate And They May Even Go So Far As , to Filibuster If an Attempt Is Made to Shut Off Debate A Colloquy In the House Between Messrs. Catchlngs and McMIUln. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2. The administration leaders In the house are already perfecting their plans for dealing with the bill repealing the silver purchase law when the Voorhees substitute comes back to them from the senate. They are willing to accept the Voorhees bill rather than risk any delay by throwing it Into conference or sending it back to the senate. An impression has prevailed that concurrence in the senate substitute could be moved from the floor without reference to a committee. The leaders have concluded, however, from an examination of Speaker Crisp's rulings In the case of other bills of a like parliamentary character, that he will not refer it, however, to Mr. Bland's committee on coinage, but to the committee on banking, which contains eleven members who favor repeal to five who are against it and one who la doubtful. The doubtful member Is Mr. Black of Georgia, who voted with the free silver men on the earlier roll-calls last Monday, but ewung into the other column on the final vote for the passage of the Wilson bill. It will not take Mr. Springer long to get his committee together and report concurrence with the senate amendment and it will not take the committee on rules long. If the silver men in the house are In a filibustering mood, to report a special order and put the bill through. There appears no doubt that Speaker Crisp will refer the bill to the committee on banking rather than that on coinage, both from the nature of the measure and the assurance he gave In the conferences which preceded the final agreement for a vote on the Wilson bilL o Reference to Coluanre. The Wilson bill and the Voorhees bill make no reference to coinage. They neither curtail existing coinage and they do not modify In any way the provision of the Sherman law that the secretary of the treasury shall coin bullion for redemption purposes when he thinks it necessary. A plan for securing prompt action had been mapped out by the hard money leaders, which would have accomplished repeal almost as quickly as that which was finally accepted by the silver men. This plan contemplated the introduction of a bill similar to the Wilson bill, the adoption of the rules of the house and an order from the committee on rules providing for a vote on a given day. The Important point In this connection was that all free coinage amendments were to be ruled out of order upon the ground that the bill had nothing to do with coinage. It was to be reported from the banking committee If reference to a committee became necessary and to be treated as a currency bill rather than a coinage bill. Speaker Crisp took part in the conference on the subject and was understood to be ready to sustain the point of order that coinage amendments were not germane to a simple suspension of the purchase of bullion for storage and It is not doubted that he will refer the senate substitute to the committee on banking upon precisely the same grounds. A gentleman who talked with the president this morning expressed himself as very confident that the Voorhees bin, suspending silver purchases, will soon become a law. The gentleman did not pretend to quote Mr. Cleveland, but he had evidently received a considerable infusion of hopefulness as the result of their talk and said he believed that the bill would pass within two weeks. "The majority." he declared, "Will be at least ten and almost certainly fifteen or more. I should not be surprised to see a perfect stampede and almost as large a majority in proportion as was given in the house." Secretary Carlisle's Purpose. Secretary Carlisle adheres to his purpose not to afford comfort . to the silver men by complicating the question of repeal with that of treasury deficit. Senator Stewart of Nevada has introduced two resolutions calling on the secretary for Information as to whether a deficit existed, but the friends of the administration have side-tracked them in the committee on finance. Secretary Carlisle is not disposed to dodge the issue, however, and will present it to congress as soon as the Bllver purchase law is repealed. The plans for relief include the issue of long term bonds, the Issue of short-term treasury bills and the coinage of the selgnorage of silver In the treasury. Secretary Carlisle has steadily opposed the Issue of bonds and does not believe that the proposition would find favor in congress. He would like to have the authority of the secretary to Issue bonds J at a low rate of interest clearly defined In the statute as was proposed at the short session of congress last winter, but he does not wish to use such an author ity if he can helo it. The Issue of treasury bills payable after one year at the pleasure of the government with interest to cease on due notice is a plan which has some supporers in the treasury department and may be adopted. The silver bullion purchase under the Sherman

law might be utilized in several ways, but Secretary Carlisle has not been ready to commit himself to any of the plans suggested. Early Action Probable. Notwithstanding the surface Indications In the senate all things point to an early effort on the part of the advocates of the repeal bill to force early action upon that measure. The silver senators do not seem alarmed over the Immediate situation. When spoken to upon the question they say little, but seem to have a look upon their faces which indicates that they may know a thing or two that the world at large has not become familiar with. While none of them will admit in terms that they have any intention of filbustering they say with singular unanimity that they expect and intend to secure a full and free discussion of the question in all its phases before a vote can be taken. Among the names sent to the senate yesterday by the president were a number of appointments for offices In the territory of Oklahoma. These appointments were referred to the committee on public lands and at a meeting of the committee this morning a report was postponed till Monday as Senator Pettlgrew gave notice that he had specific charges to prefer against one of the persons nominated.

AVAR XING TO SENATORS. An Intimation That a Cloture Rule May Be Applied. A warning was given in the United States senate today that the iron hand of cloture might be applied to force the senate to a vote on the repeal bill. The warning was given by Senator Voorhees of Indiana and came in the form of a notice from the chairman of the finance committee that he would on Monday next ask the senate to consideration to begin daily sessions at 11 o'clock a, m. instead of 12 noon. "I have a sort of old-fashioned idea," said the senator in giving the notice, "that we should alwa3'S submit to the will of the majority, and for that reason I will ask for a vote of the senate on this proposition." Instantly the silver senators construed this Into a meaning that early meetings and long sessions would be the rule and that when speeches of the opposition were exhausted, a demand for a vote would be made and, if necessary, an appeal to cloture rule be made. As a result of tls warning the sliver senators have held a hurried conference and their plan of action, was to always have a man prepared for a speech, so that there may be no dangerous interval in the debate similar to that of yesterday afternoon. WThen the senate met Mr. Palmer submitted a joint resolution, proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. The resolution, together with one on the same subject heretofore submitted by Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, which was on the table, was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. At the conclusion of morning business Mr. Voorhees asked that the repeal bill be laid aside temporarily in order that Mr. Dolph might proceed with some remarks he desired to submit upon another subject. Mr. Cockrell, chairman of the committee on appropriations, reported from that committee and it was passed with amendments, house bill to provide for certain urgent deficiencies In the appropriations of the government for the fiscal year. The repeal bill was laid aside Informally and Mr. Dolph (rep.), Oregon, addressed the senate in advocacy of the bill Introduced bj' him, appropriating $500,000 to enable the secretary of the treasury to enforce the Chinese exclusion act. Mr. Teller of Colorado call:' attention to the fact that the abrogmon of a treaty is not a violation of it. The violation of a treaty carried wiih It an implication of misconduct on the part of the government violating it; an abrogation of a treaty carried no such inference. Mr. Gray of Delaware, while agreeing in the main with the senator from Colorado (Teller), expressed his dissent from the view expressed by him that the abrogation of a treaty was not a violation of it. Mr. Dolph's bill, at the conclusion of the debate thereon, was referred to the committee on foreign relations. After a brief executive session at 3 o'clock the senate adjourned until Monday. SIR. PKFFER'S SCHEME. He Propones Amendments to the Constitution for Financial Ills. Senator Peffer of Kansas has introduced a sub-treasury bill. It is in the nature of several amendments to the constitution of th United States. The first amendment Is known as No. 16, and directs the secretary of the treasury to print and issue to the state governments the aggregate sum of $5,000,000 for each 100.000 Inhabitants, or in other words, at the rate of $50 per capita. This money Is to be distributed in onedollar, two-dollar, three-dollar, five-dollar, ten-dollar, etc., as legal tender bills. All of this money Is to be delivered to the states free of cost and no Interest therefor shall be charged for Its use by the general government. The states receiving the money are prohibited from lending it in excess of an Interest charge of 3 per cent, per annum. The president of the United States and national treasurer, with an addition of one senator and two members of the house of representatives, shall be a committee to see that each state shall choose commissioners to give bond for the secure handling of money received. 6ald bond to be approved by the governor of the state. This money is not to be loaned on landed security of no less than an undoubted value of $2,000 for every $1.000 Issued and no one person shall borrow more than $2,000. .Corporations are not allowed to borrow the money. The time for which money Is loaned is sixteen years, but one-fourth of the total amount loaned shall be paid every four years. Interest shall be collected annually after earning it. No fees or commission shall be "harged to one soliciting or procuring a loan. All lands or improvements f rfeited for nonpayment of principal or Interest shall go into the public domain. All money other than metal now outstanding shall be called Into the treasury and destroyed. The secretary of the treasury is required to print 5.000.000 fifty-cent bills, and the same number of twenty-five-cent bills, to be sold by postmasters. Amendment seventeen prohibits the deposit of any public money in a private or Incorporated bank, other than the national treasury or sub-treasuries. Amendment eighteen provides for free coinage of both gold and silver, and in order to carry out this great work, addltioral mints are to be established near the mines. Amendment nineteen prohibits sub-treasuries from buying gold or silver for deposit and Issuing substitute money therefor. Amendment twenty divides the national treasury into two separate departments, one to receive all revenue due the gov

ernment and disburse the same and one to issue and distribute money to the states and renew mutilated tills.

TUB RILES OF THE IIOl'S B. Warm Dlnrnulon Over Some of the Proposed Change. The debate over the house rules is developing considerable feeling between the Crisp leaders and some of the gentlemen who constituted the factional opposition in hi3 own party to the speaker's administration in the last house. This Is made apparent by the vigorous manner in which they are fighting some of the proposed changes In the rules proposed in the interest of expediting business and preventing obstruction. Mr. McMillin, who is leading the democratic opposition to these changes, is being ably supported by Gen. Hooker of Alabama, Mr. Turner of Georgia and ouite a number of the democratic congressmen who oppose the adoption of any of the expedients of the Iteed congress. The republicans, led by ex-Steaker Reed, whose burly form is always in the house landscape, are using all their Ingenuity to drive the wedge in between the democratic factions. MOB ON THE LAKE FRONT. RIOTERS CHARGED BV THE COPPERS OF CHICAGO. Serious Trouble Threatened for n Time While the Mob. AV'as Hurling 311sniles at the Police Speeches to the Idlers I'rK'ins; Moderation. CHICAGO. Aug. 30. Gatling guns in use directly in front of the Auditorium was the scene imminent for a short time today. Coupling pins and clubs were the worst weapons actually brought into use, however, and the most prominent public ground in the city, the landing place of the world's fair steamers, was narrowly spared a spectacle of carnage paralleling the memorable Hay market riot. During the morning crowds of unemployed and idle spectators crowded around the Columbus monument. As the mi" utes passed the crowd grew larger and more turbulent Indications of rioting began to manifest themselves, and in addition to the number of officers in plain clothes circulating among the throng. Chief of Police Brennan summoned first 500 uniformed men, and later a round 1,000. Prior to this the only patrolmen in uniform visible were in the street ends abutting Lake front park. Meanwhile the throng had greatly multiplied, impromptu speeches being made at several points, attracting additions to the crowd. Soon the outskirts of the great gathering were surging across Michigan boulevard and blockading access to the Auditorium. Along the boulevard and streets leading from that thoroughfare traffic was suspended autl a number of teams were caught In the mass of pec pie, from which egress, owing to the crush, was Impossible. The first uniformed police to arrive were under the command of Inspector Laughlin, and they were cheered as they appeared among the crowd. The commander was told that a crowd of 500 Italians and others had started up Statest. bent on mischief. With thirty men, the inspector started after the mob. The police came into the crowd at Louis Spizzarl's provision store, at 5S Statest. In the basement of Spizzarl's market were stored fifty rifles and a number of flags used by the Italian socialists in their parades. These the mob demanded, and invaded the premises to obtain possession of them. Splzzarl, who is a leade" among the Italians, addressed the crowd, and, after refusing absolutely to let them have the guns or flags, pushed the invaders out of his store and locked the doors. As a concession Spizzari gave the leaders $2 and they bought Italian and American flags and returned to the C' ambus monument ore the Lake front, fo.lowed by the police squad. During the parley the police kept the streets near Spizzari's place clear, but made no arrests. News of the events on State-st. excited the lake-front mob and it became more disorderly. Excited individuals made speeches continuously and soon stones began to be thrown. Rioters who were In the eastern outskirts of the mob picked up coupling pins from the Illinois Central tracks and the heavy missiles were thrown toward the police. Inspectors Shea and Laughlin at this Juncture promptly ordered a charge upon the crowd. The police were in force by this time, but a short distance south of the body of the mob, and before the rioters saw the advance the shock came. The contact was of short duration. As the heart of the mob around the monument saw their friends scatter before the swinging clubs the leaders turned and fled. Their course lay north and west out of the park to Michigan-ave. In an almost Incredibly short time the mob dwindled away as the rioters sought safe escape in the alleys and streets. During the riot the back door of battery D armory, facing the Illinois Central tracks, and almost within plain view of the mob, stood wide open. The battery has four twelve-pound Napoleons and four Gatling guns, all of which, the officer in charge said, were ready for business. Illshop Fallow's Appeal. At the mass-meeting of laboringmen, this afternoon. Bishop Fallows of Chicago, Miss Kate Field and Terrence V. Powderly were the principal speakers advertised for pltform No. 1 The latter, however, failed to put in an appearance. Bishop Fallows spoke first, counseling moderation and urging the men to call for help upon some of the saloons which. In times gone by, had absorbed a large amount of the earnings of so many of the worklngmen, and if the saloons refused to aid them to boycott them. He continued: "The public officials are in sympathy with you. They have sprung from out of your own ranks. Where did our policemen come from" the bishop was not permitted to answer his own question. With one voice three or four hundred people yelled, "Ireland," and the laughter that followed nearly destroyed the bishop's speech. Kate Field was next Introduced and said she belonged to no party and was not there to advance any interests of any faction, but to show her sympathy for her less fortunate brothers. She declared herself in favor of government employing agencies to be estaM.f hed Just as custom houses and postoffces were now established, and if the department of labor was made a cabinet office and employment agencies established in every city throughout the country, the working classes would find great relief from the present condition and would be distributed where their services were demanded.

Judges Brentano and Dunne were invited by him to sit en banc, the three to hear the case Jointly in view cf the importance of tha Issues at stak. Before either of his colleagues could announce their views in opposition when court opened today Judge Goggin promptly forestalled them, with an unprecedented move. He nntitied the clerk ta enter an order to continue the case for sixty days. Judge Dunne, to whom the reading of the majority ci inion had been entrusted insisted on his right to do so. He read the opinion and Judge Goggin renewed his attempt to grant a continuance. Ex-Judge Moran, representing the, exposition company, addressed the court referring to the attempted continuanflfl as "judicial anarchy." Judges Brentano and Dunne induced Juuge Goggin to leave tha bench and a private conference was held by the thre? judges. After the conference Judges Brentano and Dunne returned to the bench and announced that Judge Goggin no longer desired them to tit with him.

The scene In court was exciting in the extreme. The attorneys stood on chairs and crowded about the bar eager to catch every word.

The order denies the motion to dissolve tha injunction.

"If Judge Göggln's remaikable sixty days' continuance hoi 3s good the world's fair will be an end before it can b finally settled by law, whether or not the exposition should or should not be open on Sunday. Judge Goggin made this statement in explanation of his action: "I have respect for the chief Justice of the United States and a good deal for Judge Stein, who granted the injunction. To set aside an order granting an Injunction in this case would cause the people of this state to lose confidence' in its Judiciary."
