A telephone for use on the field of battle is one of onr war appliances. The wire, a mile long, is wound in a kind of breast-plate, worn by a soldier, and to the head-gear is attached the eimple receiving and transmitting apparatus. It is rumored in New York that Miss Helen Gould, eldest daughter of the late financier, is planning the erection of a hospital for women. Miss Gould is probably the richest heiress in America- her fortune being estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.

Local telegrams are now transmitted through pneumatic tubes in most of the cities of Great Britain. At present about fifty miles of such tubes are in operation, requiring an aggregate of 400-horse power and transmitting a daily average of 105,000 messages or 80,000,000 annualy. The Pennsylvania state board of agriculture reports a reduced yield of corn, potatoes, apples, peaches, blackberries and grapes on account of the drouth. In southeastern Pennsylvania dairymen have been compelled to feed hay and grain to their cows to make up for the great decrease in the amount of pasture. According to the Montreal papers over 6,000 of the Canadians resident in the New England states have returned to Canada within the past two weeks, on account of the closing of the mills and factories in which they were employed. To the above 0,000 should be added the unnumbered thousands of other operatives who are either idle in New England or seeking employ* ■ment in other states.

A prominent physician of Rio Janeiro, Dr. Domingos Freire, claims to have discovered the specific germ of yellow fever and to be able to apply a preventive vaccine and thus effectively stamp out the disease. The New York Medical Record urges Dr. Freire to prove his claim in some locality like Santos where the disease is epidemic and so have his name go down the ages with the other great benefactors of mankind. "The elm tree beetle, a greedy black "worm, is doing great mischief to the ‘ Stately old elms, with which the streets 'Of all Connecticut towns are shaded. The worms speedily strip the trees of “their leaves, which turn yellow and often fall in showers. Many handsome elms have already been almost ruined by them, and the daily press teems with editorials and letters from correspondents, telling how the pest may be destroyed. . It may have surprised some folks to learn that it would require five years for the mints of the United States government to coin 167,000,000 silver dollars, but the time is not so surprising when one has done a little figuring. The mints have scarcely 300 full working days in the year, or less than 700,000 working minutes in five years. To coin 167,000,000 in that time, therefore, it would be necessary to turn out more tthan 250 dollar pieces per minute. There are 2,661 miles of railroad in South Dakota and the property is assessed at the rate of $3,354 a mile, or a total assessment of $8,924,500.

THE SILVER DEBATE.

Synopsis of tho Discussion In tho Uni tod Sts too Congress. IK TEX HOUSE On the 34th, under tho flve-mlnnto rale. Mr. Waugh (rep, Ind.) said he would vote for the repeal of the Sherman btli although ho did not believe It was the cause of the present depression. Mr. Somers (dem., Wla.) favored bimetallism, but would not vote for unconditional repeal. Mr. Johnson (rep, N. D.) spoke for silver. Mr. Pickier (rep, S. D.) criticised President Cleveland as being under English Influence. Mr. Dingley (rep, Me.) contended that the present business depression was not directly attributable to the act of 18PD. It went further back than that and was more due to the legislation of 197& Mr. Lucas (rep , S. D.) and Mr. Hartman (rep, Mont) spoke for free coinage, the latter intimating that his people would not remain protectionists if the party failed to observe the bimetallic plank. Mr. Bartholdt (rep. Mo.) declared for repeal and the extension of bank circulation. Mr. Houk (dem.. O.) spoke for unconditional repeal, and Mr. Heard (dem, Mo.) against the Wilson bill, holding that the people were entitled to something more. Mr. Caruth (dem., Ky.) indorsed the president's declaration that the people were entitled to a sound and stable currency. From all classes comes the assertion that the present widespread disaster was due to the purchasing clause of the Sherman act Mr. Wilson (rep., O.) acknowl edged the difficulty of keeping gold and silver at a parity, hut he was in favor of tho government maintaining the double standard. He would cast his vote for any measure that would keep gold and silver on a parity. Mr. Van Voorhis (rep., N. Y.) said that if congress had passed two weeks ago a bill repealing the purchasing clause the panic would be off to-day. Mr. Russe)l (dem., Ga.) was in favor of fr*s coinage. This, he said, was not a fight between political parties. It was a fight between the money classes and the laboring classes. Mr. Johnson (dem., O.) proposed to vote for the Wilson bill because he was opposed to the purchase of silver. He believed that one unit and only one unit could be maintained at a time. Mr. Crawford (dem, N. C.) believed that when the vote was taken the majority of the democrats would be found voting for free coinage. Mr. Pence (pop., Col.) criticised in a humorous vein Mr. Bynum (Ind.) for his present attitude on the silver question He had heard him declare In 1891 that he (Bynum) had always been in favor of the free coinage ot silver; had voted for free coinage from the'time the question had been before congress, and would do so every time the question came up He (Pence) ventured to tell him that tho question had now come up Mr. Bynum replied to Mr. Pence's strictures upon his seeming inconsistency, confessed his sins and asked for forgiveness. Mr. Johnson (rep, Ind.) and Avery (rep, Mich.) spoke In favor of repeal. Mr. Swanson (dem., Va.) said the people that he had the honor to reprosen t had ins truoted him to vote for the free and unqualified coinage of silver. Mr. Maddox (dem., Ga.) opposed the Wilson bill and declared that the free silver democrats did not know how to surrender; thoy knew how to retire Mr. Grady (dem., N. C.) spoke in favor of free oolnago. Mr. Milliken (rep.. Me.) declared that the purchasing clause should be repealed, but he did not wish to be understood as believing that It was the cause of the present trouble Mr. Kem (pop, Neb.) was in favor of free coinage. Mr. Murray (colored, S. C.) said he represented a constituency of 278,000 and he represented a race of 8,000,000; he did not believe that the great troubles existing were attributable to the Sherman law, but to the contraction of the circulating mediums,an* in his opinion it could be relieved only by the enlargement of tho volume of money. His race believed that there was not enough money In ihe world to act as currency. It was.in favor of making up the deficiency with silver, and to that extent ho was in favor of free coinage and bimetallism.

On the 25th Mr. Bowers (rep., CaL) said: “Pass a free coinage bill and we will find the nations of the world begging us to join in an international agreement for the coinage of both gold and sliver.” Mr. Pendleton (dem., Tex) and Mr. Bowers (rep.. Cal.) wero in favor of free coinage, and Mr. Dockery (dem., Mo.) spoke in favor of bimetallism. Mr. Moon (red, Mich.) Bpoke for bimetallism, and Mr. Cobb (dem., Ala.) opposed unconditional repeaL Mr. Marsh (rep., Ill:.)' opposed the Wilson bill and favored the free coinage of stiver. Mr. Compton (dem.. Md.) spoke for unconditional repeal, and Mr. Money (dem., Miss.) 1 against the repeal. Mr. Sickles (dem., N. Y.) spoke for unconditional repeal Other remarks favoring repeal were made by Messrs. Payne (rep., N. Y.), Brawley (dem.,. S. C.), Breckinridge (dem., Ark.). Dolliver (rap., la.), Grout (rep., Vt>, Campbell, (dem., If. Y.). McEttriok (dem., Mass.), Sipe (dem., Pa.), Geissenheiner (dem., N. J.), McKeighan (Ind. Neb.), Doolittle (rep.. Wash.) and Wanger (rep, Pa.)'. Remarks in opposition to the Wilson hill were made by Messrs. Taylor (dem., Indi), Enloe (dem.. Tern), Herman (rep. Ore.); Branch (dem., N. C.)i and Hulick (rep., O.). Mr. Burrows (rep, Mich.) said, while he waa frank to admit that the Sherman law in its practical workings had been a disappointment t» its friends, yet he did: not believe that It was responsible to any considerable degree for the present deplorable condition. He was constrained to believe that the real cause of this widespread business depression was attributable chiefly to the hostility of the democratic party toward our protective polioy, under which for the last thirty years,the nation has wrought Its marvelous industrial independence. He should have no hesitancy, in voting for the repeal es the Sherman law. The policy must be abandoned sooner or later, and the sooner it was abandoned the less would be the loss sustained by the government He declared that if the democratic party did not continue both gold and sliver in- our monetary system and maintain that money at a parity, then they would be false to party pledges and would be rebuked by the people. The republican party was in favor of bimetallism Mr. Springer (dem., I1L) favored the Unconditional! repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. He attributed the oondltion now existing in the country to three controlling and fundamental causes, viz.: First, the tariff legislation since the war, Imposing enormous burdens upon the people to protect favorite interests, and by which unnatural stimulant there Have been over borrowing, over trading, and thus inevitable disaster. The second cause is found in the demonetization of silver in 1873; and the third cause, the Sherman act for tho purchase of 4,580,000 ounces of silver each month. It is just as parliamentary, just as reasonable to insist that the tariff bill shall be included in the bill for the repeal of the Sherman act as to insist that a measure for the demonetization of silver shall also be Incorporated in that act.

On the 26th, the last day of debate; Mr. Reed (rep., Me.), declared his belief that, while the Sherman act was not responsible for the present depression, the silver purchasing clause should be repealed, first,beoause, whether justly or not, the Sherman law is believed to be the cause of the unreasonable hoarding! of currency throughout the country, and, secoad, because only by repeal oould the nation hope to attract foreign capital, without which it were vain to hope for as upward turn of the country’s business. Mr. Reed thought that danger to the protective tariff was the foundation for all of our troubles. He said that in his Judgment bank managers generally were doing an honorable and patriotic work, and were the mainstay of the country against failure and future disaster. He concluded aafollows: “What, then, is the pathway of duty? The uncondi tlonal repeal. That will, either give relief osnot. If not, then we must try something els-ii, and the sooner the better; It is a matter efr deep regret to all sensible men that we have tfb* layed so long. Men are to-day strugglingalmost against fate and praying for refief. The banks are strained almost to the* point of breaking It is such a pity that we had to waste so much time in this weary welter of talk. We siand in a very peculiar position, we republicans, today. The representative of the deraocratfe party, just chose* president of the United States, finds himself powerless in his first great recommendation to his own party. Were ; he left to their tender mercies the country would witness the spectacle of the president ot its choice overthrown by the party chargod 'with this country’3 government. What wonder, then, that he appeals to the patriotism of another party whose patriotism has never been appealed to in vain.” i ■

Mr. Cockran (dem., N. Y.) spoke at aonslderable length In favor of repeal. He maid the remedy for the present condition of things ought to be sought for. free from any spirit of partisanship He oould not agree with the gentleman from Maine that these periods of depression were inseparable from the advancement of civilization, but held that eaoh was due to a special cause which might be readily discovered. Mr. Cockran said that the platform of the democratic party did not declare for free coinage of silver; that an attempt was made is the convention by a delegate from Colorado to commit the party to that principle, but failed to secure ten votes on the floor of the convention in support of the proposition He asserted that there wss never sn Instance in the history of civilization where gold and silver ever circulated side by side at any ratio. It was impossible that they should do so, and he defied the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) to name an exception The fluctuations of the values of the two coins were sufficient to constantly drive out the dearer metal, and this, said Mr. Cockran, was the inevitable result France was compelled to import *600.000,000 sf gold to maintain the parity of the silver which she had coined. That was what the United States would have to do If It was desired to maintain the parity r)t the silver we have coined. Referring to the assertion in the speech of the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bryan) that silver was still the basis of value of farmers’ products, Mr Cockran inquired: “If that be so why do you sot give him the full value of it? You would give the farmer 817)4 grains of pure stiver while I should give him 661)4 grains.” The debasement of the com proposed, Mr. Cockran said, would hare the result of reducing debts to the amount of 46 per cent. The gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bryan) assumed that the loss would fall on the banks. But the fact was that in the very nature of things the banks and corporations are the debtors of the country and the workingmen are the creditors. “Gentlemen tell us that gold has appreciated. I deny it,’’ said Mr. Cockran. "The Aldrich report shows that never before In the history of the world did tho laboring man of America receive so much in gold for his labor. But the gentleman from Nebraska and the gentleman from Missouri prcfiose by their plans to make the bankers of New York alone a present of 121,000,000 in the settlement of accounts with their depositors, and to deprive the workingmen of 45 per cent of the value of his work.” In conclusion Mr. Cookran said the trouble in this country was not due to lack of money, but to lack of redundancy. Money was not wealth. It was that with which trade was worked. Mr. Bland (dem., Mo.) followed Mr. Cockran. He said: All the dogmatic utterances of the gentleman from New York were made in the face ot history and in the face of truth. He (Bland) did not defend tho Shorman act, but he saw no reason whatever for changing the existing ratio of 10 to 1. As to Mr. Cookran’s argument that ouo of the causes of the financial trouble was a redundancy of money, that gentleman would in all probability bo found voting for the senate bill allowing national banks to Increase their oiroulation to the amount of 821,000,090. The silver men in the house had offered several compromises. If those compromises wore rejected there would never be another compromise offered. The Wilson bill asked the United States congress so to legislate as to add to the prosperity of England and Australia and to the distress and adversity of the farmers and miners of America. To strike down silver would mean a political revolution would strike down both great political parties. For one he was willing to join tho people, even though democracy would have to go to the wall.

Mr. McMillia (deni., Tenn.) said he had voted for bimetallism in the past and would vote for it in the future. Other speeches were made opposing repeal by Messrs. De Armond (dem., Mo.); Williams (dem., Ill.); Fitliiau (dem., Ill.); Hudson (dam., Kan.). In favor of repeal by Mr. (Sear (rep., Iowa), and Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.) who closed the debate. Mr. Wilson said there could be no expansion of the currency that could work so quickly and so satisfactorily as to let loose from it» hiding place the 81,700,000,000 now in this country. It was not so much the quantity of mone/as the quality that would restore confidence. Let every man understand that every piece of ino'oy in the United States was as good as any other piece, and the money in the country would support the credit which, it represented, would move the crops, and we would have—what we had not had recently—all) blessings and encouragement of a good, stable currency that would Increase the prosperity o! the natinxi and give employment to its labor. IN THE SENATE. On the 23d Mr. Hoar (rep, Mass.) argued against the amendment to the national bank, circulation act repealing the 10 per cent, tax on state bank circulation. He said he was opposed', to restoring to state banks the power ol issuing, cincuaating and furnishing currency. The people- of the country were entitled! to have a currency, every dollar of which should be casual to every other, and which 1 should be unchanging in value, so far as the 1 wit of man 00-jOd bring that to pass. That currency should! be national. It was the function! of the national government to see that it was provided. It. never had been and never would be provided by the states. On the 2SthiMr. Hill (dem., N. Y.) addressed! the senate at great length on the silver question. He charged the president with being a gold monometallist, and said that in his recent message ha overdrew the picture of financial distress imthe interest of the creditor classes. Mr. Hill announced himself to be a bimetallist, and urged, the-repeal of the Sherman law because it stoodiin the way of bimetallism. He said President Cleveland was not a bimetallist Hh said he should “refuse to follow im tho foorsteps of any administration. that seeks to place the democratic party, in a lalse position, that seeki to lead it away from its traditions, away from the currency of our fathers, away from the path of safety, away from the democratic principles and! platforms and into the very camp of the enemy. The president must rely upon republican votes to carry out any such suicidal policy; I shall not believe, however, that any suoh course will be taken by the president pf Ms-own volition, or even under the inspiration of: indiscreet advisers, until clearer evidence shall be furnished than now exists.” Ho continued: *• “No one. be he a democrat,, nepublican or populist, should be detenreefc from voting for this bill simpljvbecause it is hailed as an administration measure; That furnishes no argument either forror against it” Mr. Hill said further that “the president is entitled to my supporl and that- of every other democratic senatoi when he recommends a meritorious measure which is expressly approved in the platform ol the party which nominated and elected him to the high office which he holds. He could do no less than recommend the repeal oi ; the Shennma bill, because such, repeal was made a,pant of the democratic creed at Chica- ! go. It was. bis duty to do so, and he has simply discharged, hss duty and that is ail.” Mr. Hill did not. heloieve that simple repeal of the Sher- • man law- would at once restore abundant pros- i purity., but that many years would be required i to recover from the present diahurbance. He favored, the increase of the nadtonal bank ci» culation, as proposed in the pending bill. He r» ganled, the question of ratio as; sot timely aad as.of. the least consequence; .but if changed, at all!it should not be but diminished!to 16)4, the Latin union ratio. Mn Stewart (rep., Nev.), declared that, the i bill of the finance committee was a, bill i practically to demonetize salver. No man should be deceived on that point. The prontise in the hill was an insult to* the Intelligence ot the American people. The ' peofile, he said, had conae to tho- forks ot the road, where they had estshsr to use* their own money or submit to a system of extortion, through the national banks. The Sherman act has not been executed according to its spirit. If it hod been, tt might , have done good; it certainly would, not have , done harm. All that had been done under it : had been the issue of 8140,000.000 oi legal tender notes, which had done much to, sustain the business of the country. Without it the panio would have happened long before. Near Mayetta, Ran., James McCullough lost hia right arm by. having it caught in a oorn-sheller.

ATTACKED A STORE.

An Unrnljr Mob In Chicago Marche* an the Big Establishment of Siegel, Cooper A Co., bnt Is Boated at the Doors by Police. Chicago, Aug. 29.— Chicago witnessed on Monday the nearest approach to the looting o * one of its great department stores, that of Siegel, Cooper & Co., that has ever taken place in the history of the city. The store was saved from being raided by the presence, the active and efficient work done by Chief of Detectives John Shea and Assistant Chief of Police Joseph Kipley. The movement on State street was one of those extraordinary things which unorganized mobs sometimes do. It had no leaders and seemingly had no purpose except a wild desire for action on the part of the men who had been standing quietly for hours listening to speeches in almost every modern language.

The trouble began from the moment when Assistant Chief Kipley notified the leaders of the mass-meeting that no more street parades would be tolerated. Angry howls greeted this announcement from the stand. Several speakers advocated parading the streets despite the police orders. Some one called out, “Where’s the black flag?” “Black flag! black flag!” reechoed the crowd, but it was not forthcoming. It had been in the crowd at the statue during the afternoon but was not unfurled. The crowd filled the street from curb to curb. Fruit stands were run over but not plundered. Light vehicles were jerked about in a spirit of viciousness. The crowd was swiftly becoming a mob. It was nearing the danger line. A short distance south of Van Buren the mob was startled and thrilled by a voice in clear, loud tones: “Siegel <& Cooper,” “Siegel & Cooper,” “On to Siegel & Cooper’s!” The mob had its cue. Men’s faces whitened, their hands instinctively clinched, and on the double-quick they started for the great main entrance to Siegel & Cooper’s. A roar of mingled voices filled the street. It grew in v oieme. It sounded like a storm. The mob had reached the sidewalk immediately fronting the entrance. Then the police sprang in. The detectives, who were almost without exception veterans who have fought through many a street fight, went in on that crowd and through it very swiftly. They used only their hands and chiefly pulled the men about, but in those cases where resistance was made the hand was doubled and put into action. Inside the store a panic was about to ensue. The great mob was seen rolling rapidly to the entrance. Clerks’ faces blanched. Customers eagerly hurried to escape down aisles to the north and south exits. It was bargain day and the great store was jammed with women, young and old, on tlieir shopping trips. They could not hurry out. Harrison street station was telephoned for help. Before the crowd on the outside had time to do any mischief Assistant Superintendent Kipley and Inspector Shea swooped down at the head of thirty or forty officers in plain clothes.

A STORM'S WORK.

It Causes Great Damage to Property la Georgia, Sooth Carolina and FloridaSeveral Lives Lost—Many Persons Mlsnlng. Savannah, Ga., Aug. 29.—This city presents a scene of desolation. Death . and disaster have marked the path j of the terrible cyclone which raged 1 along the coast Sunday night. The ! rain at quarantine is immeasurable. | Nothing is standing where one ;of the finest stations on the j South Atlantic was twenty - four j hours ago except the doctor’s house, and how this weathered the ; fearful gale is miraculous. The ( wharves are gone, the new fumigating plant which has cost the city so much money is in the bottom of the sea, and nine vessels which were waiting there for release to come to the city are high and dry in the marsh and no doubt will be total wrecks. The Cosnine was the only vessel which managed to keep afloat The tug Paulson arrived in the city at 5 o’clock Monday afternoon. It brought up sixty passengers from Tybee. Mr. Revers, one of them, said four negroes engaged in clearing the railroad tracks were drowned. A sailor and the cabin boy on the schooner Harold, which is on its side on North beach, drowned. It is reported that l eight of the crew of a terrapin sloop’ j which went ashore on the South end were drowned. A view of this city at daylight Mon-‘ day morning revealed a scene of wreck and ruin that surpassed that after the great hurricane of 1881. The streets j were impassable from the debris, fallen ; trees, twisted roots, masses of brick j fences and broken branches of \ trees were piled across the sidewalks and in the square and broken wire strewn in every direction. The list of fatalities is gradually growing and it is impossible to tell Ito what extent it will go. Several J bodies of drowned persons were picked I up during the morning and searches I are now being made for others which are missing. Hvery hour seems to | bring some new story of a death as a | result of the storm. The drowni ing of A. C. Ulmer, assistant cashier of the Central railroad bank on Hutchinson’s island, was one of the most unfortunate fatalities of the storm. The other fatalities so far reported are as follows: Tony Holmes (colored) crushed In a house on Hutchinson's Island; four unknown negroes drowned on the Bramptons plantation 4 miles from the city; Lewis Garnett (colored) ran into a live trolley wire; Tattler Squire, a - year-old colored boy, drowned on Hutchinson’s Island; John Williams, Mary Butler and Sarah Greene, drowned on a rice plantation south of the city. There are forty to fifty other persons who are reported missing, and it is supposed, as nothing has been heard from them, that their bodies will be found later. Twelve barks and barkentiues which were anchored at quarantine station were blown high and dry upon the marsh and some of them were carried by the storm across the marshes bn to an island 2 miles distant from the station. Jlaleigh, N. C., Aug. 2».—The town i of Kernsville was struck by a terrific | windstorm Monday. One hundred : houses were blown down and four persons killed. Columbia, S. Gi., Aug. 29.—A1l the South Atlantic coast as far as can be ascertained from- this wrecked point, with much of the interior, has been swept by the* West India hurricane which has been playing such havoc for several days. The wires- are down everywhere, buried beneath. ruins,. and information is meager. The- fumy of the hurricane is unexampled in interior Carolina. For eight or ten hours the hurricane held the country relentlessly in its clutches, and mem and beasts alike were powerless to contend against, the surging war of the elements. Hundreds of lofty trees were ruthlessly torn from their roots. Houses and other property went the same way. , All were just beginning to hope for better times in the- fall, notwithstanding the- financial crisis, when this storm came. Now the crops are wiped away and with them the hopes of the farmers. The crops have been mowed in the fields and the poor people, with money scarce, are going to have great difficulty in recovering from the shock. The loss is over 40 per oent of the entire crops. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 29i—This city has been cut offi from communication with the outside world since 3 o’clock Sunday morning. In this city the velocity of the- wind was 38 miles per hour. Hundreds of trees were blown: down and signs disapeared before the Scores of dwellings and public buildings were entirely or partly unroofed, causing great damage from the rain, which fell in torrents. St. Augustine reports the water coming in over the sea wall and damaging business blocks. Linn hotel was unroofed and badly drenched. About thirty or forty yacht# and small craft were badly damaged or completely destroyed. The fate of other localities in • Florida as well as of the south side territory invaded by the storm is still a sealed book. The wires are down in every direction from Jacksonville, i Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 29.—A local i cyclonic storm Sunday blew down a small church on Stratton’s ranch, 4 miles from Cleburne, and wounded twenty-one persons, broken limbs being the most serious injuries.
