THE SILVER DEBATE. Synopsis of the Discussion in the United States Senate. On the 21st Mr. Peffer (pop., Kan.) continued and concluded his speech against the pending repeal measure, after which Mr. Jones (rep., Nev.) delivered the third installment of his speech begun by him the previous week. He argued that even under the operation of the Sherman act the supply of money was less than the wants of the country required, and declared that the repeal of that law would be one of the worst crimes that could be committed against: society. : i

Mr. Jones yielded the floor with the understanding that he could continue it*at a subsequent period, and Mr. Harris (dem., Tenn.) explained an interview credited. to him in a New York journal in which he was made to say that the vice president would be killed in his seat if he dared to rule in a “given way on a given question. He said that he had made no such utterance and that no conclusion from what he did say could be drawn more absurd and untrue. s

A recess was taken until 10 o’clock Monday morning. .

On the 23d Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) gave notice of an amendment which he intended to offer to the repeal bill proposing a conference to be held at Washington within nine months between delegates of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, Hayti and San Doniingo, for the adopticn of & common silver coin to be legai tender in all commercial transactions between the citizens of the countries represented in the donference. ; Mr. Jorics (rep, Nev.) resumed his speech in opposition to the repeal measure, contending that the standard of a country could be neither gold, silver nor a material thing, but .that whatever the standard might be it was quantitative, and the value of each unit depended upon the number of units, and that there could be but a single standard in a country, and that one of quality. He said the people of the TUnited States did not propose to_be left out of the consideration as to what should be the material of their money. The TUnited States was not yet a dependency of Great Britain and the president was not a governor general. iMr. Jones yielded the floor. to Mr. Teller (rep., Col.), who said that. before aifswering: the question which had been asked him as to whether he thoucht ‘the government of the United States could, with the coinage of silver, maintain the parity between gold and silver, he desired to lay down one general proposition which seemed to him to be necessary to the conclusion he had -reached. W hile money was not merchandise or a commodity in the sense that the ' term “commodity” - was used, its value was determined by the law of supply and demand. He then said that the .government of the United States could maintain the parity of ‘the two metals because he did ‘not believe more silver would come to the country than its business would absorb. In other words, the demand would be equal to the suppiy. If the whole world would return to the bimetallist condition existing prior to 1873, they would return practically to the prices of that peried, except as to those things as to which discoveries had lessened the cost of production. : In reply to a question by Mr. Palmer (dem., T 11.) Mr. Teller said the free coinage of silver by the United States alone might not produce such favorable condition, but he contended that if the United States proceeded to a system that recognized silver as money on equal terms with gold, our example would be followed by other countries, and then the monetary system of the world would return to the system that prevailed prior to the demonetization of silver by - Germany, the United States; the Latin union, ete. i Mr. Teller yic;lded the floor, and Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) spoke in advocacy of his proposed amendment for a pan-American conference.

Ats o’clock Mr. Stewart yielded to a motion for a recess until 10:30 on the morning of the 24th. <

On the 24th Mr-Stgwart (rep., Nev.) renewed his speech against repeal. He denied that those who were opposing the pending bill were thwarting the will of the majority. The administration had filibustered fo# twenty-five years against legislation allowing the will of the majority to be expressed. They had used the most corrupt, the most aggressive, the most outrageous means, secret at first, public now, to enslave the majority. ‘‘Let the administration take off its hands and let the majority express itself in the senate,” said Stewart, “and we have nearly two to one.” Mr. Jones (rep., Nev.) in continuation of his speech said he desired a dollar that kept at a parity with a pound of cotton or a bushel of wheat, and not with a metal that was constantly increasing In value. . ‘A dollar which increased in value made the vich richer and the poor poorer. He thought that he had shown to the satisfaction 6} every man who l:stened to him that one of the highest proofs of an increase in the valuie of money ot aany kind, especially in a new and unfinisiHed,K country, was a ‘decline in the rates of interest. When money was increasing in -value and prices were falling money congested in the centers; there was no demand for itin real; legitimate business enterprises. "he result was a tremendous contest and competition to get hold of gilt-edged securities. ' It had been said the silver dollar would find its way immediately into the pocket of the laboring man. He would be glad if it did. Certainly the gold dollar never did. It found itsgway into Wall street. : ; S

At 4 oo’clock a recess was taken until 11 a. m. on -the 25th. = & :

On the 25th Mr. Stewart (rep., Nev.) who was entitled to the floor, yielded to Mr. Pugh (dem., Ala.), who spoke against repeal. He said he was satisfied that nine-tenths of the unconditional repealers did not desire the free coinage of silver by an international agreement, nor did he believe that President Cleveland desired it or would make an earnest efiort to secure it. He thought the fact was not considered doubtful that forty-three democratic senators would have sanctioned the recently proposed compromise nad not President Cleveland interposed objection and demanded unconditional repeal at all hazards. :

Mr. Pugh said he was willing, if he had sufficient support, to resort to any and all means to defeat the pending bill. He was proud to be called a filibuster in defeating a conspiracy equa.l,]nn the ruinous consequence .of its success,; t@ war, pestilence and famine. o

Mr. Stewart (rep.. Nev.) resumed his speech, and spoke of the gold combination as having agents in the capitol to dictate legislation and as having elected a president determined_ to carry out their policy. The president was now in the saddle and congress was helpless. The time might come when the: haughty tyrants would meet a rebuke from the people. | . Mr. Stewart yielded to Mr. Jones (rep., Nev.), who desired to say a few words in behalf of the silver'miners of the United States. They were o brave and hardy people, tried by every gauge of manhood add patriotism. = Mr. Jones concluded his speech by saying that the Roman republic did not lose its liberties until the senate had degeperated into a mere instrument for recording the will of the chief magistrate. He said: - “I, for - one, “will not Dbelieve that the senate of the United States is ever to become a subservient senate. If, however, there is a majority in this senate in favor of repeal let me admonish those senators to pause and reflect that there is no exigency whatever demanding its passage; that no condition requires it, and that it is excellent to have a giant’s strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.” : [ Ats:ls a recess was taken until i 1 a. m. the 26th : : On the 26th Senator Teller (rep., Col.) resumed his speech against repeal - Referring to the recent proposed compromise he said it was rumored that a very large and respectable portion of the senate had agreed to some adjustment of the difficulty. It had been said, ina way that justified him in speaking of it, that he who had no right to speak to the senate had declared that no compromise should take place; that it should be unconditional repeal or nothing. It was said that prosperity would follow the repeal of the Sherman law. This country was not 1o see prosperity immediately. The world was disjointed and out of shape on account of the monetary conditions, and there would be distress, stagnation ané paralysis of business wherever the gold standzrd prevailed, and nowhere else, : Senator Teller retired in favur of Senater Squire (rep., Wash.) who addressed the senate in advocacy of the amendment of which he gave notice October 10. This amendmeant proposes to allow the owners of silver bullion to have it ‘coined into standard silver dollars at the present ratio of 16 to 1, receiving standard silver dollars for it to the amount of the commerecial value of the bullion—the difference to be retained as a reserve fund by the treasury. This coinage is not to exceed §2,000,000 o month and lis to stop when the aggregate amounts to §lOO,000,000. The purchase clause of the Sherman act is to be repealed. . ; faak At the conelusion of his remarks Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) resumed the floor. The proceedings were enlivened by a colloguy between Senators Stewart and Palmer (dem., Il.). Senator Stewart had been rehearsing his well-known theme that our financial affairs were about to pass under the management ‘of England. Senator Palmer took occasion to fire a volley of questions at Stewart as to what he meant by this constant reference to English domination. The Illinois senator said that it wasg humiliating to him and other senators, as

well as to the American people, to have the assertion made in the American congress that the United States was becoming the_financial puppet of England. He added that such talk might do in the ardor of a stump speech, but it was astonishing to hear an intelligent senator keep repeating it as though he believed it. . On the 27th the vice president laid before the senate the “unfinished business’’—the silver repeal bill. Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) took up his speech where he left off the day before. He attacked the president, calling him a Wall street lawyer and saying the people would never again trust him in the presidential chair. Senator Stewart yielded the floor to-his colleague, saying that he would go on with his speech afterward, and Senator Jones (rep., Nev.), who was supposed to have completed his long speech on. the 24th, but who had not done so, proceeded to address the senate;. this being the seventh installment of his speech, He said that he rose with the hesitation that a lawyer might have in arguing a case which he knew.to be already decided. o Mr. Jones spoke for an hour. Then there was a lull, and Senator Voorhees (dem.. Ind.) arose and asked for a vote on the pending amendment—the Peffer amendmeat providing for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16ito 1. The roll was called, the vote resultingin 28 yeas and 39 nays. Nine pairs were announced by the chair. : T Senator Voorhees then moved that the bill which bore his name should be substituted for the Wilson bill passed by the house of representatives. The motion was carried by a vote of 58 t 0 9.

Senator Perkins (rep., Kan.) then offered his amendment for the free coinage of American silver-at the existing ratio. There was a brief and bitter speech from Senator Allen (pop., Neh.), and then Senator Teller (rep., Col.), the leader of the silver cause, addressed the senate. ‘“To me this is the most terrible moment of my legislative life,”” he moaned. He then arraigned his republican colleagues for desertingsilver. His closing words were pathetically eloxisuent. as he said that it filled him with terTOF to see the senate commit an act which in his judgment would lead to the enslavery of the Americdn people. ; : 5

:Before the vote on the Peffer amendment Senator Peffer (pop., Kan.) said he had discovered in the public prints that he had surrendered -and . recommended to his political associates to . surrender “Mr. predident, ’ he said, “we haven’t surrendered, nor do we infend to. We do not intend to interpose factious opposition, but at every stage we shall interpose determined. resistance and determined opposition.’’ ° : The senate then took a recess until Saturday morning. . s S 1

WASTED BY FIRE.

Losses for 1893 Ilave Been Extraordinarily Heavy. -

Cuicaco, Oct.. 25.—F'ire losses in the United States duaring the first nine months of 1893 were §26,840,000 greater: than the corresponding period of 1892, and not less than a dozen strong companies are preparing to go out of business between now and the Ist of Janudry. Low rates, heavy losses and onerous state legislation are driv‘fng capital into safer and more profitable fields of employment. The active companies have paid out over §9,000,000 from their aggregate surplus funds thus far this year and the January statements will show -an enormous shrinkage in the securities held by the companies. It has been one of the toughest years in insurance annals. )

The fire waste in this country from January 1 to October 1 footed up §121,832,700, a monthly average of $13.537,000. The Joss during the corresponding nine months of 1892 was §94,992,350, a monthly average of $lO,594,700. For the corresponding period of 1891 the loss was $98,960,670. If the percentage keeps up during October, November and December at the same rate as during the preceding nine months the total waste from flame for the calendar year will approximate $162,500,000. - 5 : The total number of sound insurance companies doing business now, foreign’ and home, is about 225. - They actually paid §84,000,0000 in losses last year, against $81,000,000 in- 1891. There are in addition an unknown and decreasing number of wildcat companies which insure anything that will pay premiums and that never pretend to pay losses. Since January 1 thirty-five of the latter class have gone to the wall, the list including: Eo

DOWN ON OUR HAY. , Opposition to Its Sale in Germany Growing Stronger. WasHINGgTON, Oect. 28.—Information furnished the state department by Theodore M. Stephan, United States consul at Annaberg, Germany, shows that the opposition in that country to American products did not end with the removal of the restrictions on the importation of American pork, and that American hay is now under the ban. Mr. Stephan says that the exclusion of Russian hay from Germany by ministerial decree has been followed by a condemnation of American hay in 1 the laboratories of the German chemists, and that the German press is publishing the analysis with appended. warnings against the American product. These analyses appear to show that there is less nutriment in American pay than in the. hay of Germany. In addition to.this they raise the warning that the use of American hay is introducing new insects into Germany. .+ BROKE HER NECK. .

O GAVE A MLLION. Marshall Field’s Big Donation to the Co- ~ lumbian Museum. . : ' CHIC AGO, Oct.3o.—Out of the passing glory of the exposition Chicago will receive a grand museum, and everything indicates that it will be located in the grandest building in Jackson park—the Palace of Fine Arts.” What was a few weeks ago only a well developed idea is now an assured -fact. ‘The wealthy men og Chicago and others not wealthy ‘who contributed to the building up of the exposition will now spend their money for the building of the museum. By an act of unusual ' generosity Marshall Field has set the ball rolling with' a donation of §1,000,000 toward furthering the plan, and George M. Pullman has promised another £lOO,OOO. Mr. Field’s gift is made on the condition that $500,000 be raised outside of his contribution, and that 2,000,000 stock of the exposition be assigned. to the trustees.of the projected museum. - Mr. Field gave $1,000,000 with as little ceremony as he would pay an admission fee to Jackson park.. He gave his subscription Thursday afternoon, but it was not made public until Friday. . Messrs. Ayer and Ellsworth of thée museum trustees went. to Mr. Field and told him of their plan to: provide funds for the project and asked him what he thought he could do in the matter. The famous merchant asked for a couple of days in which to consider the matter. Accordingly he was. waited upon Thursday morning, and told his visitors that he would give $1,000,000 toward the enterprise, and stated the conditions under which the. donation was to be made. These were, of course, accepted at once by the committee. Mr. Field’s munificence fired public enthusiasm and generous contributions have since been made. For starting the fund so liberally the museum will probably bear Mr. Field’s name. The organization committee of the board of trustees have been very successful in securing displays for the museum, and altogether the outlook is rosey. . .

Nothing succeeds like success, and the Chicago ‘university people and the Armour institute have fallen in with the interest shown by others, and in order to make the museum the grandest - possible will give .it ~such exhibits as they at first secured for themselves. For weeks thére have been representatives of museums working among .exhibitors to secure displays. Among these workers were the university people and, the Armour .institute. They secured a great many exhibits, but when they saw the supexior character that would be reached - by -the great collection they donated theirs. Edward Ayer, of the .finance . committee, has given his Indian display. It is valued at $75,000, and in recognition of this Mr. Ayer will probably be elected president of the board of trustees. Another generous-donation is the Jessop collec-. tion in the Forestry building. This is another §lOO,OOO exhibit which has been added. Then the exposition company itself spenu 150,000 in’ securing exhibits in the department of ethnology. Al this goes to the general colleetion. Many of the most valuable exhibits at the exposition, ‘from a historical and sciéntific point of view, have already been donated to the Columbian' museum. Many others can be obtained at prices which will merely cover the original cost of collection or manufacture. Exhibitors in eVvery departmert of the Manufactures building showa willingness te leave their choicest relics to the museum, and fully onehalf the exhibiters in Mines and Mining will donate their displays. In Transportation promises have been received from a number of railway companies, boat builders and foreign commissioners that their,displays or parts of them shall remain and be the means of teaching coming generations how ideas were expanded in building vehicles until the marvels of the present day was achieved. 2 . A rough estimate as to the.material at hand to be placed in the building after next week places the money vaLué' of it at over half a million dollars. Tne historical value of many of the articles and collections offered is difficult to determine, but it is great. Many of the states are eager to have their displays perpetuated, as are also the foreign governments. . et o

Along with the property of the fair available for miiseum purposes are many groups of statuary about the grounds. The idea is to select the best of the collection and also many models which have been preseryed. The.intention is'to make Jackson park the most scientific museum on the continent,

The Art palace, which probably will be secured for the permanent home of the Columbian museum, has often been declared to be the architectural gem of the exposition. Itils anexample of the purest type of classic architeeture and Its location at the head of the mnorth pond is in thorough harmony with the surpassing beauty of the building. In ‘'shape the Art palace is oblong, measuring 500 by 320 feet. i The buildin'g is entirely fireproof, the walls being of solid brick, while the galleries and roof are of iron. It is lighted entirely through skylights, supported by iron frames. In' the entire building there are eighty galleries ranging from thirty feet square'to 36 by 120 feet. ; - It is proposed to keep the building practically as it stands at present,. though at some future time the staff which covers the brick walls may be removed and terracotta or some more durable material substituted. GUILTY OF MURDER. . The Jury Convicts a Bloodthirsty An- : ° _archist. PIrTBBURGH, Oct. ‘3o.—After an all night session the jury in the case of Noel Mzaison, the alleged French anarchist, charged with killing Sophia Raes, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. It wasclaimed that: Maison was implicated in an anarchistie plot to destroy public buildings in Canada, and that Mrs. Raes in some way overheard the anarchist’s secrets. Her removal was then decided upon. Maison and a companion laid in wait for the woman and killed her as she was retgg;ning home with her husband. : WOES OF A GERMAN BANK.
