THE VOTING BEGUN.

Peffer's Amendment to the Repeal Bill Defeated After a Brief Explanation by Its Author. TELLER MOVED TO TEARS In His Speech on tha Floor of the Sonate. The Perkins Amendment Up for Consideration, But Xo Action Taken-The Voorhees Conatilered as a. SuUMlitnte for the House Measure The Debate In the Senate House Adjourns Intll Monday Other v. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. The beginning of voting upon the amendments to the repeal till which took place in the Benate this afternoon does not necessarily bring the end any nearer because the voting was begun upon an understanding that speech-making should be allowed to continue within due limits. No senator was prepared to take the floor when Mr. Jones expressed a desire to continue his speech until tomorrow and Mr. Voorhees, by previous arrangement, moved to take up the pending amendment. Mr. Faulkner, the repeal whip, had previously seen the senators who had expressed a desire to speak and assured them that the new order of things shouldn't cut them out. He thinks that all future speeches, except Mr. Jones's, will be brief and Is hopeful of reaching the final vote very soon. VOTING OX THE AMKXDMEMS. Mr. Peffer'a I.ont at to 2HSenator Teller's Plea. The consideration of the repeal bill was resumed In the senate today and Mr. Stewart took up the thread of his argument where he stopped last evening when the senate took a recess. Questioning Mr. Stewart as to his position Mr. Carey of Wj-oming said: "I say you are a silver monometallism" "I say you're mistaken," replied Mr. Stewart hotly: "you do not know what bimetallism K" (Laughter.) Losing his patience Mr. Stewart asked: "How many tinys must I tell you a thing before you understand it?" (Laughter.) "I thlr.ic I understand it," Mr. Carey said, "and . if you understood it more and talked less we would get along better." (Laughter.) "I think you have talked to the full extent of your information." replied Mr. Stewart, and then he drifted into a denunciation of "the gold ring," and criticised the administration. At 1:30 Mr. Stewart yielded to his colleague Mr. Jone. Mr. Jones said a lawyer arguing a case would hot proceed with much enthusiasm if he believed a decision had been rendered and the seal put upon it by the clerk. Mr. Teller contended that no cotton goods were exported from India until the cheapened price of silver stimulated exportation. The same was true as to wheat. Mr. McPherson ascribed the production in and the exportation from India of cotton and wheat to nature, there being nothing else that could be grown there. After reading the letter of the president to MaJ. Northen, Mr. Jones said if he had been a3 explicit before the election as he was now he would not have been elected. Mr. McPherson asked Mr. Jones a long question and when he sat down the latter said: v"I don't believe there is a single senator on the floor who can understand the question." Mr. McPherson started to restate his question, but being appealed to by Mr. Vonrhees yielded to that senator. "I understand the senator from Nevada," said Mr. Voorhees, "desires to complete his remarks tomorrow. I regret he is not able to complete them now, but I shall not press him. I suggest In the economy of time that he and the senator from New Jersey might, between now and when the former resumes the ßoor, come to an understanding as to the question the senator from New Jersey has asked.-' (Laughter.) "It will take about that time," said Sir. Jones. "In the meantime," said Mr. Voorhees, "as thre seems to be nobody who is ready to go on now, and not with a view of denying anybody the privilege of speaking. I ask for a vote on the pending amendment and let us get along in this way." "As fast as we can," Mr. Hill suggested. Mr. McPherson "I prefer to have the senator from Nevada answer my question." Mr. Voorhees "He can do it tomorrow if he can do it at all." (Laughter.) The vlce-precldnt stated the question to be on the amendment of the senator fro:n .Kansas (Mr. PelTer). He desired to submit some remarks in advocacy o It. After a little parliamentary 8jarring as to which of the senators, whether Mr. Peffer or Voorhees, was entitled to the floor Mr. PelTer proceeded. He had discovered In the public prints that he had recommended to his political associate to surrender. "Mr. President, we have not surrendered, nor do we Intend to. We do not intend to interpose factious opposition, but at every stage we shall Interpose determined resistance and determined opposition." Ien"er'a Amendment Itejeeted. The question was then put and the amendment was rejected yeas, . 28; nays, 2'J. The detailed vote on the Feffer amendment was as follows: Yeas Allen, Btte, Berry, iiiickburn, Butler. Call, Coke, Daniel, Dubois. George, Harris, Irby, Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Martin, Pasco, Peffer, Power, Puh, Roach, Shoup, Stewart. Teller, Vance, Vest, YWJthall. and Wolcott 2. Nays-Aldrtch, Caffery, Camden, Cullom. Davis, Dixon. Dolph, Faulkner, Frye, Gallinger, Gibson, Gorman. Gray, Hale, Hlareins, Hill, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge, McMillan. MePherson, Manderson. Mitchell of Wisconsin. Morrill. Murphy. Pamer, Perkins, Proctor. Q'iay, P.anom. Sherman, Smith. Sfnckbridge, Turpie, Vilas. Voorhees, Washburn and White of Iymlsiana 81. The following pairs were announced. first named bring affirmative: Cock re II and Allison, Cameron und Price, White i of California with Chandler, Colquitt ' with Wilson, Pettigrew with Cordan, ; Ilansbrough with Mill. Morgan with Ilawley, Hunton with Platt, Mitchell r,f Oregon with Squire. The amendment ' titU4 voted dw.va. rtmveU with som)

slight exceptions the coinage act of 137 and provided for the free coinage of silver. Mr. Voorhees then moved that the substitute reported by the finance committee for the house bill be adopted and asked unanimous consent that after its adoption it might be treated as the original bill would be. To the latter request there was no objection. Of his motion the yeas and nays were taken and by a vote of yeas 68, nays 9, the substitute reported by the finance committee was agreed to. Those who voted against the substitute wer Senators Allen, Bate, Call, Coke, Irby, Kyle, PelTer, Roach and Vance. The Perkins Aniendemnf . Mr. Perkins of California then offered the amendment of which he had given notice on Oct. 14. It provides for the coinage of American silver at the existing ratio with a seigniorage charge of 20 per cent. No gold pieces of less denomination than $10 ere to be coined and no legal tender, national currency or treasury notes of less denomination than $3 are to be issued. The holder of any standard silver dollars may deposit the same with the trasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States in any sum and receive therefor notes of do nominations cf less than $10 only, which notes shall have the same legal tender quality as the coin for which they are exchanged. There Is to be appointed a commission of five monetary experts, the members whereof shall nut be otherwise connected with the government, whose duty it shall be to keep congress and the executive advised of all necessary matte?-s relating to the currency. Mr. Perkins explained his amendment, and said now that the slackwater of debate had come, amendments could be discussed and considered dispassionately. Mr. Stewart called attention to the change upon the pnrt of Voorhees.. Gordon. Ransom, Hill, Mills. Turpie and Squire on the silver question, who last spring voted for free coinage and now on Mr. Peffer's amendment, voted against it. Mr. Allen expressed regret at what might be called a "back down" to some, extent upon the part of advocates of sliver. Teller Moved to Tenra. Mr. Teller, while not favoring heretofore a proposition to coin only silver of American product as that savored of class legislation, said he would vote for the rerkins amendment as it was better than the proposed act. Mr. Teller went on to speak with great bitterness of the desertion of the cause of silver by republican senators. He said the present controversy ought to have been settled by a concession to the advocates cf silver. "Nobody who hears me toniorht would disagree with me in the statement that if the men sitting In front of me (republican repealers) had been as ready to concede us something as were the men who believed in repeal on the other side of the chamber, there would have been a compromise, not disgraceful or disastrous, tut benefit i: to us and beneficial to all alike. If tho railroad can't jay the interest on their bonds that Is not our fault. Rut our personal obligations we will pay to the last cent. "To me this is the nvt tTribie moment of my legislative life," said Mr. Teller with mu h feeling. "To me it brings more four than any other since I entered public life. I fear that we ore entering upon a financial system from which there is absolutely no escape. I know there will be no favorable legislation for silver until the American people are heard from at the ballot-box. "Mr. President, I am not a pessimist; I never have been. I am an optimist. I have never seen disaster an,d distress growing out of politics simply because it did not meet my approval. I hive had faith In the American people. (Here Mr. Teller's voice choked and tears came to hi3 eyes. He spoke most impressively and was accorded the undivided attention of every senator and tue large audience in the galleries.) I have faiih in men. I can see the silver lining in a cloud as quickly as any man living. There never is a storm, however dark, that I cannot see the coming light on the mountain top. but I cannot contemplate this condition of things without absolute terror. It strikes to my very soul, and I want to enter this as a warning to the American people, that if they do not resist they will enter upon a system of industrial slavery that will be the worst known to the human race." Mr. Voorhees desired to secure a vote on the Perkins amendment. Dut as Mr. Wolcott expressed a wish to submit some remarks, he moved that the senate take a recess until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. The motion at 5:40 o'clock was agreed to.

SEisiox ok Tin: iioisn. Feellnsr of the Member Toward the State Dank Tax. The proceedings of the house this morning were opened by Representative HuJson of Kansas, who rose to a personal privilege and hd read a long Washington dipatch contaiidng a statement purporting to have been made by Judge Lamoreaux, commissioner of the general land office, to a congressman relative to the investgation of the Cherokee strip outrages. The statement delved into the intricaees of Kansas politics and intimated that Mr. Hudson said his populistic coat was simply a mask for simon pure democracy. The statement was followed by some observations of the newspaper correspondent relative to the alleged antagonism between Speaker Crisp and. Secretary Hoke Smith, and the former's alleged ambition for a seat in the senate. Mr. Hudson hxd a letter from Judge Lamoreaux read denying that he had given the correspondent the statement, and he (Hudson) denied all knowledge of the matter himself and hoped the speaker would get the senatorship If he wants it. A wave of applause over the floor and galleries answered this complimentary allusion to the speaker. Another disturbance followed over the resolution reported back from the banking and currency committee by Chairman Springer calling for information as to the state banks, recently introduced. Seme of the friends of the repeal of the state bank tax thought they saw In this resolution an attempt to throw an obstacle in the way of the measure. Mr. Hall of Wisconsin opposed this resolution. Mr. Johnson of Indiana declared that congress needed, and should have, this information before It acted on such an important question as ihe proposition to rejuvinate state banks and wild-cat money. If the time has come, said he, when congress' cannot obtain bonafide BETTER THAN PILLS Many pcoplo tako pills which pripe ani puree, weakening the body.

KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with le?3 expenditure, by more promptly af!aptins the world's best products to the needs cf physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in tho remedy, Svrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the rcf resting and truly beneficial properties of a jerfect laxative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction t" millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Rowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggist's in 50c and 51 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept anv substitute if oüered. and reliable Information from an official of this government we had better close the doors of the executive departments. Mr. Turner of Georgia was bitterly opposed to the resolution. Mr. F perry concluded the debate with a vipourous speech in favor of the resolution. At the conclusion of his speech th? vote was taken on the adoption of th resolution. The rising vote resulted ayes, 75; nays, 44. Mr. Allen of Mississippi made the point of "no quorum." The ayes and nays were ordered. Ninety-six to fifty-eight. Again no quorum and the house adjourned until Monday. The vote Is considered by both the friends and opponents of the rereal of the state hank tax as a pretty good test ns to the sentiment cf the house on the main question. Mr. Wentlock' Scnantlon. Mr. Weadock of Michigan made a sensational statement affecting the title of William S. Linton, a representative from Michigan, to his seat. It was in the form of a memorial from ex-Representative Yomans. who was a candidate against Mr. Linton. The petition asserted that Mr. Linton's election wa neither legal nor valid. It was, said Mr. Weadock, for a committee to Investigate tho whole question which involves the determination of the existence and animus of an unamerican, illegal and traitorous organization, which In Michigan has gone to the length of procuring arms. The organization exists in several states. It Is particularly offensive In Michigan. Its machinations have caused a reign of terror. "Name the organization," cried a dozen voices. "It is known as the American protective association," replied Mr. Weadock. Mr. Hopkins protested against the arraignment of a society as a traitorous organization and rmde the point of order that the matter wns not privileged.. The speaker overruled the point, but Mr. Weadock's attention being called to the fact that Mr. Linton was not present, he consented to withdraw the matter and allow it to go over until tomorrow. EACH VOTED DO WW. Action of the Senate on the Amendment. WASH ING TON. D. C. Oct. 28. The senate resumed Its session this morning with fifty-two senators on deck. The urgency deficiency bill was considered and passed. The joint resolution offered by Mr. Cullom yesterday transferring the model battleship Illinois to the state of Illinois as an armory for the naval militia of that state at the close of the world's fair was passed. The repeal bill was taken up at 11:30 a. m. and Mr. Wolcott addressed the senate. Mr. Sherman of Ohio followed Mr. Wolcott. In the course of his speech he said: "It is absolutely necessary t In my Judgment," he said, "to have some legislation in respect to the fund on hand for the maintenance of resumption. I believe that the fund of $100.000.000 in gold at this moment is used contrary to the provisions of the existing law. Under the law that fund must remain in the treasury and cannot be taken for any purpose whatever without reach of law, and yet I am told that this fund is now being used to pay the ordinary current expenses of the government. It ought to be at once supplemented by gold." Mr. Teller "How?" Mr. Sherman "By the sale of bonds." Mr. Cockrell "Sell them where?" Mr. Sherman "To our people." Mr. Vest "Suppose that the use of this reserve gold in the treasury should become necessary to maintain parity between g-old and pilver would not the secretary of the treasury have the right to use it?" The Sale of Honda. Mr. Sherman "I say that the law of 1S73, which provided for the fund has not been changed - by subsequent law. There Is no subsequent law that has any reference to it whatever except that one of 18S2. There Is another question that has arisen in regard to the construction of the law by which the secretary of the treasury can sell now any of the bonds provided for in the refunding .law for any purpose whatever except the maintenance of United States notes at par with gold. I would like any lawyer here to tell .me whether by any act that has passed since that time there has been the slightest provision made that can be construed into authority to sell bonds except to maintain the payment of United States bonds. Therefore, If you leave the secretary In the present condition of affairs unarmed with authority to borrow money upon the credit of tlie United States you neglect your public duty when it is plainly called to your attention. I say myself'as a lawyer that under existing law there is no power to sell the 4 per cent, thirty-year bonds, or the 4V per cent, fifteen-year bonds, or the 5 per cent, ten-year bonds, except for the purpose of having gold enough to redeem the United States notes, and no secretary would dare to issue either of these bonds even if the law permitted him to do It." Mr. Blackburn "Is It not true that not one but two attorney-generals have

taken a different view and have held the treasury department had authority to sell these bonds?" f . Mr. Sherman "I tnlnk not. I have not seen any -of these decisions." Mr. Blackburn "I know it is generally understood that the late attorneygeneral did during the administration of Secretary Foster hold that the power for the sale of these bonds to make good the deficit in the gold reserve of $100,000,000 existed." Mr. Sherman "No secretary has dared to exercise that power." Mr. Dlackburn " I admit there has been no exercise of that power. I concur in the opinion of the senator from Ohij. I deny that the treasury department has any such authority, but the question I asked was as to whether the last attorney-general did not under the administration of Secretary Foster hold that the power to sell bonds existed." Mr. Sherman "That I cannot answer because I do not know. It Is now stated on both sides of the senate that there is no power now In the secretary of the treasury to issus any kind of bonds. Even if he had the power what secretary would Issue them? What secretary would dare to issue thirty-year bonds running at 4 per cent when he can borrow money easily at 3 per cent? If we should attempt to sell those bonds at a premium nobody but a capitalist who looks long ahead as to the value of accruing interest would be able to purchase them. They would not be distributed throughout the country." Mr. Sherman said he was tired of the newspaper talk about the president of the United States doing this and that In regard to financial matters. The president had no more power over financial questions than any other citizen of the United States. From the beginning of the government to this hour the powers conferred to deal with financial questions had been with the secretary of the treasury. The president was not to exercise those pewers. it was the delegated agent of congress, the secretary, who reported to congress direct and not through the president Mr. Butler "May I then Inquire if the secretary of the treasury has asked for the authority which the senator is claiming he ought to have? ' Mr. Sherman "I would not like to answer that." Mr. Cutler "It must be a public matter." Mr. Sherman "I do not think he asks for it. I can say he does not ask it." Mr. Butler"That must be a matter of public record. If he has certainly he should communicate it to congress." Mr. Sherman "I do not know of any record that pertains to the subject. I should think it would be a very delicate matter for the Secretary of the treasury to attempt to originate that idea when the congress of the United States Is the proper place for it." Mr. Teller Ansliita. Mr. Teller "Would there be any impropriety if the secretary thought it necessary to sell bonds on his part to address a communication to congress on that subject?" Mr. Sherman "Xo." Mr. Teller "Would it not be the proper thing to do If he thought he ought to sell bonds?" Mr. Sherman "The secretary never volunteers advice. The serator may secure his opinion by a simple resolution." Mr. Teller "If there is a deficiency In the revenues now. and likely to be In the future. I nsk the senator whether that 1? not a proper subject for the president of the United States to address congress on, under the constitutional provisions that he shall Inform congress as to the condition of the country, etc?" Mr. Sherman "That his been done; perhaps the senator overlooked it. It has been done by the finance committee, calling on the secretary of the treasur-y as to the nature of the deficiency, how much it is. etc." Mr. Teller "VJat I asked w.s whether the president could not under the power conferred on him by the constitution to keep congress advised as to the condition of the country make such a communication." Mr. Sherman "Undoubtedly he could. But the senator who has been a cabinet officer Is probably aware of the fact that -.11 ouestions of finance are dealt directly with by the secretary of the treasury. I do not recall a single Instance in which ihe president addressed congress, except in his annual message, upon a financial question." Mr. Blackburn repeated his quest'on as .0 whether the late attorney-general had not rendered a decision that power to sell bonds existed, and added that the matter had gon so far thit plates were engraved from which the bonds should be printed. He asked Mr. Sherman if he did not know that was sof "I do not." replied Mr, Sherman. Mr. Blackburn "I say I do. I will ask whether the senator from Ohio was consulted at that time upon that subject?" Mr. Sherman "I was not" Mr. Blackburn "I will say to the senator that a subpoena duces tecum served upon the superintendent of the bureau of engraving and printing will bring these plates to this chamber within an hour." Mr. Sherman "I should think the committee on finance would be glad to see them." Sherman's Cond rropoalllon. Mr. Sherman continued his remarks and sent up to the desk and had read a proposition which he favored providing for the sale of bonds. The proposition was as follows: That to enable the secretary of the treasury to maintain parity of all forms of currency coined by the United States and to strengthen and maintain the reserve in the treasury authorized and required by the act entitled, "An act to provide for the resumption of specie payment," the secretary of the treasury is authorized to Issue from time to lim, as required for such porposes, In a sum not exceeding in the aggregate $200.000,000, coupon or registered bonds of the United States In such a form as he may prescribe and of denominations of $00 or some multiple of that sum, redeemable in coin of the present standard value at the pleasure of the United States after three years from the date of their issue, and bearing, interest payable semi-annually in such coin at the rate of I per cent, per annum. Tha said bonds and the Interest thereon hall be exempt from the payment of all taxes or duties of the United Slates as well as from taxation of any form or under state municipal and local authorities, and the; said bonds shall hav set forth and expressed upon their face the above specified conditions and shall with their coupons be made payable at the treasury of the United States. The proceeds of such bonds shall be used for the purposes defined in this section and none other. Mr. Sherman expressed the hope that the senators In the majority would make such provision as the one he had read. He feared in a little while the people would find that by the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act the root of the evil had not been removed. Tha secretary of the treasury probably would not find it necessary to use th ' power to eell bonds for more than $50,000.000. Mr. Gorman's speech. Mr. Gorman followed Mr. Sherman. Commenting on Mr. Sherman's 6peech he said: "I am surprised that he should bring in party questions and attempt to take party advantage of delays or mistakes, if there have been mistakes, or now in the closing hours of this great struggle, that that distinguished leader should tell us and tell the country that the measure Itself will be impotent, that it eliminates silver or its further use for the moment." Mr. Sherman "I spoke strongly in favor of the use of silver to the largest possible extent" . "Mr. Gorman "If I have misunderstood the senator, all on this side of the chamber se?m to have shared with ms in mlsuhderstaiidin him that tha

Now, do I misrepresent the senator?" Mr. Sherman "I said it might not meet the expectations cf the people." Mr. Gorman "If I understand the position of the democratic party in the beginning of this controversy it was that we pledged ourselves to tha repeal of the therman law." A senator ".Not a part of It." Mr. Gorman "No sir; the whole law. I do not think I am mistaken when I say that the distinguished senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) in a speech or an interview in his own state denounced the repeal of the entire Sherman law and stated that he would favor the repeal of the purchasing clause only. The president of the United States, anxious and earnest in his desire for Its repeal, knew that he had "not the power in his own party or with his own party to repeal any portion of that law. because the division is so sharp that neither party would have the power to deal with this question and secure the repeal and he was compelled to take the terms offered by the senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman). And then when congress met with the perfect knowledge on the part of every intelligent mn in the union that this party was hopelessly divided upon the question, as j-our party is hopelessly divided, it may be said with truth that a large majority of the democrats were against the unconditional repeal even of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. It was known that you had thirteen to fifteen republicans opposed to unconditional repeal. It was believed, and I think it is a fact easily proven and plain to everybody, that a clear majority of all the senators elected were not in favor of unconditional repeal, but wanted some modification. Those of un who inteifded to vote for its final passage believed that we were In the minority and the delay of weeks became necesrary that we mlsht convert enough to our side to pas the bill. When the debate," said Mr. Gorman, "became sharp a doubt was expressed as to the power of the senate to pass the bill. I do not man the power to reach a vote but the power to pass unconditional repeal by a majority. In the very midst of the fight, in the hottest part of it. the first note of warning that we had publicly uttered came from the senator from Ohio, the senator who l--d for more than one-half the reeal clamor, that it was impossible to do It." Mr. Gorman here read from an Interview with Senator Sherman published in the Cincinnati Enquirer Oct. 5, 1S93, in which he was quoted as saying he did not believe the law would be repealed. "I desire to add only tl is," snid Mr. Sherman; "I believe the bill would not have passed but for the abortive attempt to compromise, which, falling throuch. left nothing to do but to pass it. However, that is a matter between ourselves." Mr. Gorman "Oct. 4 is the dite of this Interview. The senator from Ohio knew perfectly, as every other man In the country knew, that he wa laying down a condition to the den ociatic party to unite. He knew that it was as ImptfslUo ts to fly unless it meant an extension of the purchase of silver to some future period. He knew another thing that with the difference of views upon this flna icial question between the Last and West, the North and the South, It wa3 impossible to pass what we call In the eastern states a sound financial bill with bonds unless we had your co-operation and the co-operation of those on that sldt?. who thought with us. and when you placed the conditions upon the democratic party, as you had the power to do, holding the key of the situation, with your twenty-five or twenty-six votes, you forced us Into a position to take a measure that would not be satisfactory to the people for whom the senator from Ohio speaks and for whom I speak. "Sharp as the division was upon any party or measure on this side, there was not a democrat who wrs not Impressed with the desire to harmonize his party, to sustain the only democratic administration we have had to make sacrifice opinion, to set aside their convictions of a life and unite in doing something which would relieve the business stress and save the administration. "They tried to get together. They tried to do what was right. There were many of them, and I share that conviction, who thought that it was extraordinary, unusual and unfortunate to strike down sumraarily and without an hour's warning any great interest that had been built uo and made possible by laws, no matter how vicious and bad the laws themselves were. Their deliberations could not have been carried to a consummation with the bonds of which the senator from Ohio speaks. I do not complain of him for making any suggestion as to bonds, except as to the time and manner of doing it, for I from the beginning, not of this congress, but of the last, under Mr. Harrison's administration, believed th?t with the extravagance of the appropriations that had been made, with the growth of expenditures tor pensions and otherwise that could not be eliminated, there was not revenue and there is not revenue enough to pay current expenses of the govern-, ment under the present laws. If there had been less partisanship in this chamber when It enme to consider a proposition that could practically have united this side. If there had been less partisanship in this chamber. If we had had a ref ponse from the senator from Ohio and those who associated with him politically, we could have passed a bill repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. and It Is a matter of no consequence whether it took effect tomorrow or the next day and have strengthened the treasury, giving the secretary the power to use $200,000,000 of gold. "I am not here to violate a confidence that has been given to me, but I can say with propriety there Is scarcely one of us who in the very heat of this controversy has not been most anxious to make a suggestion and look to a better bill than the one we now-have. That has passed." jJ Sir. Sherman lteaponda. Mr. She-man "I am quite sure that if our friends on the other side had made any such proposition as the senator now mentions, authorizing the coinage of the so-called selgnorage, and providing also for the maintenance of all forms of money at par with each other, and back of that the authority to sell $200,000,000 of bonds, their proposition would probably have "been very agreeable to this side. But I understood our friends on the other side declined to agree to any proposition which contained authority to Issue bonds. I think that was the general understanding on this side." All Amendemnts Voted Dnirn. The voting on amendments was soon begun. The Perkins amendment was rejected 41 to SO. Mr. Voorhees said he hoped to have a vote at 2 o'clock on Monday and certainly not later than 4 on the bill. It is intended to hold a continuous session on Monday until the vote Is had. Mr. Berry's amendment for the restoration of the Bland-Allison law was rejected by a vote of 23 yeas to 37 nays, the highest vote any amendment received. Mr. . Allen's amendment for the free

coinage of sliver at a ratio of 16 to 1 was rejected, 31 yeas to 41 nays. Mr. Blackburn's amendment was rejected, 23 to 42. Mr. Stewart's amendment, Inviting the republics of Central and South America to join the United States in a convention, was rejected, 22 yeas to 41 nays. The first section Of Mr. Squire's amendment was rejected, 20 to 42. The second was withdrawn. Mr. Butler did not offer, as he had proposed to do. his amendment for the repeal of the state bank tax. An amendment offered by Mr. Peffer was rejected, yeas 7. nays 5s. Mr. Allen's amendment was lost, the vote standing 28 to 41. Mr. Peffer offered an amendment which was voted down without reporting to a roll-call. Mr. Harris did not offer or ask a Vote upon his amendment Mr. Pasco offered an amendment, which was not read, but was ordered printed with the understanding that it could be offered on Monday. The senate then went into executive session, at the expiration of which a recess was taken until Monday at 11 a. m.

The central office detectives to the number of a dozen arrived with prisoners who were expensively dressed and had all the appearances of wealth and refinement These were the president and some of the dlrctors of the defunct Madison Square bank. The first to arrive was Simon Ottenburg, who was quickly joined by President Joseph F. Blant Andrew L. Soulard came next with Sorgt Titus, and another detective escorted Cashier Thompson down from headquarters and Frederick Ahlman arrived a few minutes later. All the directors whose names were mentioned have been arrested with the exception of F. A. Kursheedt, who Is sick in bed, and Charles E. Selover, who is residing at Passaic, N. J. The latter refuses to come to this city without a requisition. The name of Director Lawrence P. Fitzgerald does not appear on any other persons In the case. Ball bonds were then prepared and there seemed to be no scarcity of bondsmen. The following is a list of directors who furnished bail and were released toay: President Blant. $15,000; Frederick Uhlman, $5,000; Andrew C. Soulard. $5,00; Ronald T. McDonald, $10,000; Simon Ottenburg. $5, M0. All the men are h?'d under one general warrant charging them with "participating in the fraudulent insolvency of a moneyed corporation." Beside this charge there Is a charge of forgery against McDonald and a charge of perjury against Blant. Counselor Untermeyer for the receiver was seen by a reporter today. Among other things he said: "When the bank failed it was found that a secret agreement was made at the time the notes were discounted which in practical effect ma.le the loans almost perpetual because the bonds were not allowed to be sold under 00 and 90 was not obtainable. The claim Is that McDonald, takirg advantage of his position as acting president of the ; bank, changed the entire character of j security. Before that it could hriye been sold but with that indorsement it became unsalable. It would appear as though j this was a very serious offense and not a mere technical crime." I The hearing of the case was set down , by Judge Martine for Nov. 4, when all the accused directors will be examined. All assert their Innocence and have demanded the hearing. WAS ALMOST MOBBED. Xarrow Escape of Ex-Prlet Slattery from a St. Loals 31 ob. ST. LOUIS. Oct 27. Ex-Priest Flattery tonight gave an anti-catholic lecture to men only at Central Turner hall. The place was crowded to suffocation and several hundred were unable to gain admission. These remained in the vicinity, patronizing near-by saloons. During the lecture the crowd was very boisterous, but made no threatening demonstrations. About 10 o'clock, at the conconclusion of the lecture, Slattery, accompanied by his wife, started for his hotel. The crowd followed, growing more and more boisterous every minute. Finally surrounding the couple, the crowd almost with one voice yelled., "Lynch him;" "teach him a lesson." Recruits joined the crowd every minute and as they pressed close, Slattery threw one arm around h's wife, and, shaking his disengaged fist at the crowd, hurled defiance in their teth. A score o.f policemen at this moment charged the crowd but was unable to reach Slattery. Growing wilder every minute ths crowd repeated Its yells of "lynch him," "kill the fanatic." Reinforcements arrived from the police station and the officers were enabled to make their way to the the twain against whom the mob's cries were directed and at whom stones and other missiles now began to be thrown. The officers finally succeeded in getting Slattery to the hotel. Just at the entrance the mob, now numbering upward of thousands, made a desperate effort to wrench Slattery from the officers, but the latter pushed him into the hostlery and closed the doors leaving the mob outside. Over half of the throng are still standing in little knots in. the vicinity of the hotel, but the police are rapidly dispersing them. Slattery and his wife were unharmed. Both say they are used to such demonstrations, but In a vastly milder form. Several arrests have been made by the police. The better class of catholics denounce the action of the mob. MUS.

RUN ON THE ROCKS IN A FOG

DISASTER TO THE CITY OF EW" YORIC NEAR GOLDEN GATE. The Booming of Cannon to Announce Iter Fate To kb from San I'mnrlico Scamper Out to the Scene Xo Loas of Life Reported. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. re The Paeic mail steamer City of New York went ashore this evening in a fog and will probably 1 a total loss. She sailed for China and Japan at 3:30 p. m. anl went down the bay under full head cf steam. The fog was very heavy anl from the lower wharves the heads could be seen. About 4:C) p. in. the big oc?an sloamer was lost s'e-ht of and a half hour later the booming t.f cannon could b heard and f-Uual rockets could bj seen as they burst above the foej. Tha signal station at Point Lobos at- onca sent a message into town, and soon every tug in the bay was racing for Teint Bonita. Arriving there It was found that the sleanifr was hard and fast on thj rocks, hai;g gone on thorn unicr a full head of stc-am. She was in charge of Pilot Stevenson at the time. As soon as the ship struck there was a scene of will confusion. A couple hundred Chinese In the steerage set up a howl that could ba heard half across tha Golden Gate. Capt. Johnson was wonderfully cool, however, and he and Lis officers soon restored order. When the signal lights began to flash the observer at Point Lcbos cam-? to the conclusion that it was the steamer Monowai that had gone on the rocks and that news was cir culated all ever the city. Those who were expecting relatives on that steamer from Sydney, Auckland, Samoa and Hawaii at ence flocked to the officers ct the Oriental and Occidental line. All they could be told was that a steamer had been on Point Bonita, but whether it was the Monowai or some other craft no one could tell. Half an hour later, the wrecked vessel was made out to ba the City of New York. There is eight feet of water in her boll and the tugs cannot move her. The loss will be half a million, no Insurance. All the passengers have been taken off and are beinj; brought back to the city. The fog is almost thick enough to cut with a knife. A reporter has Just come in on a tug" from the wreck and reports the City of New York laying with head to westward broadside upon rocks. She 13 lying over on port side and three or four holes ar stove in her bottom. The vessel will ba a total loss. The tide is now receding and she is now high upon the rocks. There Is not much wind, however, and very little swell. The tugs now are hovering about the wreck anl could possibly pull the steamer from the rocks, but it would be useless. The City of New YorlC is a compartment ship and the latest reports say there is no water fore and aft, but eight feet of water amidshiis. Tha water is up into the fiie room. Before the signals of distress brought assistance from S.n Francisco the passengers were landed at Point Eonita by the ship's boats and life-saving crew from the Golden Gate and Ft. Point stations. About this time Capt Johnsou decided to jettison the cargo and save as much as possible. He dispatched a third officer and a crew of six Chinese sailors in a small boat, directing them, to row to San Francisco for tugs and lighters, but the crew could make no headway against the flood tide, and were swept back. Another of the boat's crew, in command of the pursuer, was picked up by the tug and brought here. The City of New York was built In Chester, Pa., in 1S73, but was practically rebuilt a few years ago. She was 3.019 tons gross, 339 feet long, 40 feet 2 inches beam and 20 feet 5 inches depth. She took away an unusually large cargo of flour and general merchandise, all of which will probably be a total loss. Point Bonita is a rocky promitory whlchl forms one of the heads at the entrance of the Golden Gate. It has long been regarded as most dangerous, especially In thick weather. Half a dozen vesseh have come to grief on it during the past twelve months. The bark Lurllne went ashore there and the bark John D. Spreckels was only saved by a fishing steamer, the U. S. Grant It was there that the ship Spinney broko from her tugs and started up the coast to her doom. TWO IV EG ROES LYNCHED For PljliifC the Vocation of a Xotorl ous Hour Thief.
