THE SILVER DEBATE. - Synopsis of the Discussion in the United’ o . States Senate. . " On the 9th Mr. Wolcott (rep., Col.) said that within thelast few days tge _worst fépprehen“sions of the friends of silveé¥ as to the position of the president have been realized. The president’s open letter addressed to the people of the United States through Gov. Northen, of Georgia, is one of the most remarkable pronunciamentos of this generation. The president of the United States, while ;congress! was in extraordinary session, convoked by his proclamation, informed the country that he was astonished at the opposition of the senate to the measure which he had advocated in his message. Such an utterance was intrusive and offensive and was unfitting the relations which should exiat between the legislative and executive d&gartments of| the zovernmeént. Mr. Wolcott Spoke of Secretary Carlisle's change of front on the silver question, referring to the proverbial zeal of ConVerts. | The passage of the repeul bill, Mr. Wolcott con- | tended, would leave to silver no place as a standard of value. Silver was to be discredited, attainted. outlawed. Mr. Voorhees (dem., Ind.) denied that the pending Dbill would demonetize silver. The statement that it would do so might be repeated a hundred thousand times and still it would not be true. He stated that the committee had several good reasons for what itdid, and headded: “When the Sherman law no longer disgraces the statute book of the nation lam ready to act promptly, and with all the energy that I am capable OF, to carry out the piedges which this., bill contains.” He then went on to argue that if the senators from the silver states had opposed the passage of the Sherman bill as he had opposed it, it would neyer have broughta blight and curse on the country. Mr. Teller (rep., Col.) replied to Mr. Voorhees’ criticism of the senators from the silver states for supporting the Sherman bill when it was before the senate and agserted that the Indiana senator was not in a ’‘condition to throw stones at them, inasmuch as he ‘had‘ not -only voted for the -Bland bill, but had voted to pass it over_jthe president’s veto. . He declared that the people would not be fooled by the declaratory sectioninthe commit-’ tee’'s substitute. They understood the influ ences that were. at work. Mr. | Vecorhees asserted that the declaratory provision in the bill was muck better in -that it pledged the future use of coinage of both metals, in the language of thie Chicago platform.

Mr, Cockrell (dem., Mo.) said that from the foundation of the government to 1873 our laws maintained the constitutional bimetallic system unimpaired. The law of February 12, 1873— passed by a congress overwhelmingly republican in both houses and signed by a rephblic;m presdent—was the first act that demonetized silver. Mr. Sherman was the chairman of the committee. on flgance at” the time, had charge . of -the bill, and well knew its provisions and effect. Not three senators and five representatives kuew it demonetized silver and established the single gold standard.. Mr. Cockrell, continuing, reviewed the ¥ecords of both parties on the silver question, beginning with the Forty-fourth ‘congress. He spoke of the silver leg having been struck from under the monetary fabric of the country ‘“by the stock relations/ of the -president.”” The representatives of fortign bankers,he said, had the audacity to demand from Secretary Carlisle the issue of §150,000,000 of gold bonds. They had said: ‘‘Now is the opportunity to force the United States to come to a single gold standard and to-force it to issue bonds to get the gold; and we will. have the selling of these bonds and will get the commission and brokerage.” Telegraph - messages had been sent by cart-loads and congress had been convened; and, he added. ‘“‘here- we are.”

On the 10th Mr. McPherson (dem., N. J.) spoke in favor of repeal. He denied the assertion made by the opponents of the bill that the Sherman law had nothing to do with the busi~ ness troubles of the country, and, on the contrary, declared itas his belief—a belief shared, he said, by m'o-thir(;s of the peoplé of the United States who had an opinion on the subject—that the Sherman ' law was the main cause, the true cause, in fact the only visible cause: operating to produce that result. He wanted "to know if congress would or would not heed the voice of the people and stop the influx of silver.. “Congress was called together in extraordinary session on the 7th day of August, and yet this deliberative body speaks not ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ while an outraged, indignant and suffering people stand pleading at the doors. Debate, debate, goes on. - Poor, defeuseless people are the victims of the vicious laws which the senate enacted and which, with a single stroke of the pen, it can blot from the statute books forever.”

Mr. McPherson continued: “The president has exhausted all his constitutional power in calling congress together in extraordinary session, and in recommending’ its prompt repeal In what respect, then, has' the president proved recreant, either bv act of omission or commission, to any trust reposed in him by the party or people? The president is entitled to all commendation, not only for summoning congress. here, but for what he said to congressir o e : o

~ Mr.- McPherson concluded by saying: “That a minority of this body should be allowed to stand as an obstacle to the other branch of the legislature in giving effect to the will of the majority of the people is not to be endured; and the senate must find 'a way to exercise its constitutional functions or cover itself with contempt.” g : S -Mr. Cockrell (dem., Mo.) then took the figor and resumed his drgument against the repeal bill. He set out to prove that any international monetary agréement with European nations was impossibie now. In reply to a question by Mr. Hawley (rep., Conn.) he .said he had not yet found one solitary nation in all the international conferences that was willing to give up its own monetary system for any one proposed. . e Mr. Hawley then -called attention ‘‘to the somewhat famous debate in the English house of commons last February in which several memeters stated .substantially that Great Britain alone was an obstacle 1n the way of an international monetary agreement.”’ . Mr. Cockrell replied that ‘“England will not, under any ‘conditions, consent until she has a cabinet and a house of commons entirely changed, until the, present complexion of all political parties there is changed.” On the 11th Mr. Cockrell (dem., Mo.) continued his spé& against the repeal bill. He yielded the floor to Mr. Smith (dem., N. J.), who spoke in favor, and Mr. Irby (dem.; S. C.), who spoke against the pending measure. Mr Cockrell concluded his speech at 5:15 o’clock. Mr. Allen (pop., Neb.) took the fioor to con tinue his speech. At 6 o’clock Mr. Dubois (rep., Idabo) ' announced that'the hour had come w‘n%ﬁ the senate usually adjourned. - - Mr. Voorhees (dem., Ind.) said he felv it his highest duty not to move for an adjournment, but, on the contrary. to ask the senate to stay together in continuous session until the pending measure should be disposed of. :

Mr. Dubois said this announcement of the senator from Indiana meant ‘‘that the senate 1s to be held in continuous session until a vote is reached on the pending bill, or until it is demonstratea that a vote cannot be reached. This legislayon should not be rushed through by inhumangefforts'ana brute force. You know as well when you start as when you emerge from the struggle that you must fail.”” He said a bill was as likely to pass for the free coinage of silver as toabsolutely destroy silver. He added: “If you conclude to abandon appeals to reason and sense and to risk asettlement of this great question to a test of which side canstand the most punishment, we desire to give notice now that we shall protect our side by every means in our power. We shali insist that you furnish the quorum, ard that you keep it constantly in this ehamber, if it takes innumerable roll-calls. The responsibility for what is to follow must rest on you, as well as its physical effects on individual senators.”’ : ' - Mr. Voorhees suggested to Mr. Dubois the wisdom of the saying: “Let not him' that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.” “We will see who fails in this transaction before we are done,”’ said Mr. Voorhees. “I feel that my feét are’on a rock, and ' there I shall stand and vindicate a great and mighty principle. But before I say a word ‘upon that subject I will ask the sgnator from Idaho whether he will fixa day to take a vote?”’ Mr. Dubois said that there were distinguished senators who had not talked on the subject, and he could not nor could any one else say when the debate would probably close. G Mr. Voorhees replied at great length, saying that “if there could be a day named by the opponents of this bill we would come toan understanding directly. It is .because obstruction is resorsed to, pure and gimple, against legislation, that we are in the at titude we are now. We regret exceedingly to have to resort to the methods now before us.” He said he would rather be carried from his desk feet foremokt and put to sleep at his home in Terre Haute forever than to yield the principle that the majority has a right to govern. 'They had reached the question whether or not we have a government that can adm’auster itselt. He would not injure the minori.;, but asked should the mejority govern? He stood there not talking mgwme but for the rule of the majority. If he went down if would be with his flag nafled to the @?f%% S

: . 3 ¥ * % Bwer when a vote can pe reacheu, I Invoke the Bpirit of wisdom, fairness, patience and manhood on both sides and we will proceed. Ihave no doubt of the result.” : s 3 Mr. Allep continued his remarks during the night, interrupted by frequent roll calls to determine the question of a quorum being present. On the 12th Mr. Allen (pop., Neb.) concluded his remarks at 8 a. m., after’ which, on -motion of Mr. Voorhees, the Peffer amendment was laid on the table—3B7 to 17—as follows: % Yeas—Caffery,Camden, Carey, Cullom, Davis, Dixon, Dolph, Faulkner, Frye. Gallinger, Gordon, Gray, Hale, Hawley, Hill, Hoar, Lindsay, Mecbillan, McPherson, Manderson, Mills, Mitchell (Wis.), Murphy, Platt, Proctor, Quay, Ransom, Sherman, Smith, Squire, Voorhees, Washburn, White (La.)—33, C Nays—Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Butler, Call, Cameron, Coke, Daniel, George, Hunton, irby, marting Morgan, Pasco, Peffer, Vest, Walthall —l7. i : i M:. Martin (dem., Kan.) expressed the opinion the time had come for democrats to act together and arrive at some agreement—see whether they could do auy{hing to relieve the party and the country. He read the newspaper reports of the meeting between Secretary Carlisle and the New York bankers at the house of President Williams of the Chemical national bank, and said the reports were convincing testimony the panic had been made to order and had been manufactured expressly for the occasion. It had two purposes—one to force the government to issue bonds, and the other to destroy silver as a money metal. He acquitted Mr. Carlisle of any complicity in the conspiracy. He discussed the question of national banks and asserted the wisest and best thing for.the democratiic party to do would be to wipe out every vestige of the national banking system. He regarded -the repeal bill as so bad, so wicked, 80 cruel, so remorseless, so unjust he felt justified in resorting to every constitutional right to defeat it. ; 2 At 4:15 Mr. Teller (rep. Col.) proceeded with a speech begun the previovs week, but yielded the floor with the understanding that he could resume on the 13th.

Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) then took the *floor. He said that within a year, probably sooner, the country would rejoice that there had beer those in the senate who had the courage’' to call a halt on the attempt to establish the single gold basis. If silver countries would be true to themselves the gold countries would have to change their policies in order to trade with the more powerful countries. Mr. Stewart continued his speech till after midnight, subject to many interruptions for inquiries as. to the presence of a quorum. £ After a report by the sergeant-at-arms at 1:40. o'clock on the morning of the 13th as to theabsentees, Mr. Voorhees said, in view of such report, it was evident no further business could be transacted, and he therefore moved an ‘adjournment, to which motion there was no opposition, and the senaté adjourned until 11 olclock. :

On the 13th after the Introduction of amend ments by Mr. Vest (dem., Mo.) and Mr. Allen (pop., Neb.) —the former providing for the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman act, the issue of coin certificates, the coinage of na tive silver, deposited by owners, up to £800,000,000, the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on state banks, etc.; and the .latter-providing for the free coinage of silver—Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) resumed his speech and debated further against the pending repeal measure. Mr. Pefier (pop., Kan.) took the floor at 8 p. m. and continued the argument against repeal.. An adjournment was had at 11:30 for want of a quorum. . :

THE CHINESE BILL.

Synopsis of the Debate in the National House of Representatives.

- On the 11th Mr. McCreary (dem., Ky.), author of the proposed amendment to the Geary Chinese exclusion bill, explained that the pending measure provided that the act of May 5, 1892, be so amended as to extend the time six months in which Chinese persons may register and obtain certificates -of residence, and also amended said act so as to . require ‘‘one credible witness ' other than Chinese” that an applicant for a certificate was a residentof the United States on the sth of May, 1892, instead of ‘“‘one credible white witness.” The bill also amended the act by providing that the word ‘“laborer® or *‘laborers” shall be construed tomean both skilled and unskilled manual laborers, including Chinese employed in mining, fishing, huckstering, peddling, laundrymen or those engaged in taking, drying or otherwise preserving shell or other fish for home consumption or exportation. It seemed just and fair that the Chinese should have additional time in which to register and obtain certificates of residence, If all the Chinese persons who were not now registered should be transported to China the cost to the government would be about ,- 000,000. 2 D

Mr. Geary (dem., Col.), in opposing the bill, said if he believea that through the operation ‘of this bill if enacted into law the Chinese would comply with the law he would votg for the measure. But he did not so believe. He wanted to act in accordance with civilization, Christianity and morality. . He wanted to exclude Chinese from coming here, but no additional burdens ‘should be imposed upon those already here. He - denied that the bill which bore his name was any violation ‘of treaty stipulations. = With. in .the last thirty years $500,000,000 had been taken from the Pacific coast to foreign lands. Gentlemen trom the east expressed their wonder that the peoble of California did not like the Chinese. How would they like a foreign colony located in their region? He thén went on to denounce the competion of -the .cheap Chinese Ilabor with free Americon labor. He ridiculed the statement that it would take §7,000,00C to deport the unregistered Chinese. It would not, he declared, involve an expenditure of $1,000,000, and he criticised the action of the administrationin not enforeing the laws., He was a democtat and loved the democrati¢ party, but if that party permitted the men of its selection to violate the laws it had no right to ask for a continuance of public confidence. : : On the 12th Mr. Hitt. (rep., IlL), spoke in favor of the bill. He denounced the Geary law. It was a violation.of the public faith, butit was a law, and it was the duty of congress to make it as light upon the victims as possible. .If carried out it would be strange if it did not cause a rupture :with China. Mr. Hitt admitted that Chinese coolie labor was a great evil, but the way to stop.it was by international agreement. Mr. Loud (rep., Cal.) described the evils of the Chinese fhvasion of the Pacific coast. He criticised the administration for not enforcing the law. He claimed that the executive power was trying to overawe the legislative power. Mr. Hooker (dem., Miss.) spoke in favor of the bilL on i i Mr. Bartlett (dem., N. Y.) opposed the bill. He said there would follow the enactment of this law as many cases to test the McCreary amendment as there were cases to contest the constitutionality of the Geary law. The underlying object of this legislation was to allow the Six Companies to try the case again and have a majority of the supreme court turned into a minority. He closed with a eriticism of the Six Companies for preventing Chinamen from registering. i

On the 13th Mr. Rayner (dem., Md.) said the passage of the, pending McCreary bill was an act of self evident justice, one that should commengd itself to every member of the house. ‘‘lf we are going to exercise natural justice in this country,” he said, “if we are going to maintain buman rights we must pass this bilL?” In reply to questions by Mr. Ray (rep., N. Y.) he said the administration had rightfully done nothing to enforce the present law, because of want of the necessary funds, and be cause, after the ‘law had - been pronounced constitutional by the ' supreme court, there was a likelihood of its being -amended by the present congress. In reply to a further interruption criticising the president for failure to enforce the existing law Mr. Rayner said: ‘“The president has done his duty in accordance with the dictates of his own‘conscience. He is no weak, uncertain thing, yielding to every wind of public opinion. He does not believe in bartering away any of the principles upon which he was swept into office by an overwhelming verdict.” - . Mr. Sickles (dem., N' ¥.) made a brief speech in favor of the perding biil. ; Mr. Bowers (rep., Cal) warned the democrats and republicans that ¥ this' McCreary bill was passed there would not be enough of° either party left in California to makea grease spot that could be seen with the naked eye. Asked to explain what would become of them hé said the populists would receive an astonishing increase in the state. : . Messrs. Draper and Morse (reps., Mass,) favored the pénding bill. P Mr, Maguire (dem , Cal.) opposed the bill: He defended the Geary law as a reasonable, easy and convenient requirement who‘)i? within the bounds of the constitution. .. . . ——— e < A Fine Residence Burned, Ny ~ KAxsas Crry, Mo., Oct. 14 -~ The handsome residence of H.

DEATS‘!' IN A STORM. . )Fourte‘een Lives Lost at Magnolia Beach, S. C.—Three Boys Killed at Buffalo — Much Damage at Baltimore, Philadel- ' phia and Other -Points. . - Corumsia, 8. C., Oct. 17.—The West India cyclgne struck Georgetown on ‘the coast of this state Friday, swee?ing Magnolia Beach away and killing many pérsons. Mrs. L. C. Haskell and a servant are said to be the only sur-. vivors. Pawley’s island suffered terribly, and many houses were wrecked. | The people sought refuge in .the trees. I Fourteen persons were drowned at Magnolia Beach, ) A ; The tide rose above floors of dwellings | on North island and all dwellers took | réfuge in the lighthouse. The most ! heartrendering reports come from Dr._ J. W. Flagg, who escaped and saved ! little Miss Weston, 10 years old. Théy'] | were clinging to ‘the boughs of a | cedar tree drifting to mainland. HiSl | father and mother were with them on | the same tree. His mother bécame ex- % hausted and lost her hold wpon the i ' limb, and his father let go to rescue her { and both were drowned before his eyes. I | Searching parties were patroling the | beach with the hope of’ finding bodies. 1' BurrarLo, Oct. 17.—The wind blew at | the rate of 60 milesan hour on Saturi day. About 1:30 o’clock in’ the morn- | ing the storm caught up a long line‘of | empty coal cars standing on a siding of ‘ - the’'Nickel Plate road and lifted them onto\t\he main track, a few miles south .of this city. The midnight passenger | train for Chicago crashed into the cars. . | Fireman Lang was killed. ik 1 { Other fatalities occurred late in the - afternoon when the mammoth sheds of i | the Empire freight line at Louisiana. and Carroll streets collapsed with a ‘ ~ loud crash. The fire and police depart- | ments were called out, but before their’ . arrival the missing men shawed up. | i They had miraculous escapes and re- i , ceived only slightinjuries. The wreck of ] . the huge sheéds lay in a heap, but the ' trusses of the roof had for the most part | ' retained their places and had saved the { men beneath the wreck by leaving room ‘ { enongh for them to crawl through. |'Under some debris; " with his head | ! smashed downcbetween his knees, was ' Johnnie Flannery. A few feet away | the crushed bodies of Zitz Heinlich, 9 | years old, and Johnny Dwyer, only 8, - ¢ were. All three boys were dead. | BALTIMOREs Md., Oct. 17.—While the" . wind was blowing a gale Friday night i the Brush Electric Ljght works took ' fire and were burned. As these supply , the city and nearly all ‘the stores and 1 . other buildings in the ecity with light, | the city for a time was plunged into | partial darkness. : : 1 | Sparks from the Brush electrie lightVJ l works set .fire %o the city jail. | The "prisoners were hurriedly col-- | lected and marched into the yard. i | Quite a number, however, were over- ' come by smoke and dragged out. The | jail was completely destroyed. Acor- | don of police was formed about them, ! while doctors were working on the | prisoners. Seventy five of them were | taken to the city hospital, but none of_ . them are believed to be fatally injured.’ | The southern part of the city is flood- - | ed, and water at the dogks is even with | the surface of the city. In various sec- | tions of the city houses were un%:roo’fed and trees blown down. The . wind and rain swelled the water in the 3 harbor so that thé New York trains : on the Baltimore & Ohio were unable | to cross at Locust Yoint, at which place i they are ferried across. From Annap-- | olis and other points reports are multi- | plied of damage by the storm. = /| - | The damage done by the storm was | the greatest in many years. Especially | was this the case along the water | front, where the tide rose to the level’ !af the wharves, overflowed into | stores, the cellars :of commis- ; sion merchants and the places occu- ' pied by the oyster packers, and com- | pletely destroyed stocks to the amount |of almost $1,000,000. As the dredging | season opened Monday the oyster boats ' had béen preparing for the season and ' many of them were badly damaged. . The destruction of property all through . the city was large. SEg . The summer resorts cn Curtis bay . - and the upper Patapsco were ruined. The entire shore from Francis Cutair’s ' resort to the Ariel and Neptune clubs’ boat houses is devastated. At Flood’s pavilion the damage will reach $B,OOO. - OThe wharves and boathouses of the rowing clubs are a wreck. Charles { Durm’s steam yacht Admiral, George | : KohV’s steam launch Alice, and a num- : . ber of fancy sailing yachts at these resorts were sunk or beaten to pieces - against the wharves. = ; J ’ The packing houses at Canton, onthe - | eastern water front, were mnearly | washed away. A scow loaded with ; 250 cases of fruit belonging to Fait & | Winebreuner ' went to the bottom. l | Hemingway’s cannery was damaged to I the extent of §6,000. The total loss in | the canning district will reach $50,000. . PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.—The swrm” was particularly® severe in eastern | Pennsylvania. - In this city scores of | | houses were -unroofed and the walls ! |of many partly-construeted build- | ings blown down. The Roman . Catholic church _of the; - Nativity, which is being - constructed ‘at Belgrade street and -Alleghany avenue, was damaged to the extent of $20,000.. While: tSe gale was at its | " height the stone - on the east side ‘of the .edifice was blown inward and two huge blocks of stone crashed . through the roof ‘and ‘into the basement, smashing the pews and pulpit and reducing to splinters a costly new | organ.

I must say a word as to- the efficacy -of German Syrup. I have used it in my family for Bronchitis, the result of Colds, with most excellent success. Ihave taken it myself for Throat Troubles, ‘and have derived good results therefrom. I therefore recommend it to my neigh-' bors as an excellent remedy in-such cases. James T.
