Washington. Ane. 10 -Slowly but
sorely toe lines ol battle are being drawn
on the financial question, and before an
other day pases the country will prob
ably be acquainted with the fall plan ot
procedure. It is bettered to have been
dually solyed today wbicb p'an is likely
to win the approval ot a mnj irity ot all
elements. Tonight all indications point
to a drawn battle on the floor ol the
house, without the reference ol ibe ques
tion to the committte on coinige, weights
and measures. B and readily acquiesces
in the programme to fight tbe baule oui
on the floor ot t he house in committee ol
tbe whole, arid in this arrangement the
anti-silver men. of coarse, readily agree
Tbe two bills, on which u tn turn all dis
cux-don of the fioancial question, weie! to
day fully prepared sod are ready Tor
uresentatioo. The one drawn by tbe an
i silver men is- brief and to the point
It tersely provides for tbe unconditional
teoeal ot so much of the act of July 14,
1890, as direcs the monthly purchase ot
4 50i i.OOO ounces ot silver bullion, and
issuii-g t feasor v notes thereon. The meas
ure drawn by the free-coinage people is
lonzer, and is unique in being drawn in
tbe manner wbicb will develop the great
est po.siole strength of tbe free-coinage
element of the house.
- ITS PROVISIONS.
Tbe first portion nt the bill provides
that all ho ders of f 100, or more, of sil
ver bullion of standard weight shall be
entitled to have tbe same coined ioto sti
ver dollars at tbe mints ol tbe United
States. The dollars so coined are to be
legal tender for all debts, dues and de
mands, both public and private, end any
bolder ot si ver dollars may, at his d's
cretion, depot-it the same in the United
Stales treasury and receive silver cenifl
cates for the same. The number ot gra'n-i
ol silver to he contaired in the standard
dollar is to be determined on the floor o
he house. The cosine; section of the
'ill provides briiflv for the repeal of the
Sherman porrbxsing clause. The bill is
retaided bv the opponents of free coin
age, as well as by its friends, as tbe
-irons' st measure that could bi possihlv
preseu'ed by 'de silver men, tbe question
of ratio Seing It-It to ihe bouse. The si! -ver
men allege that no excu-e w,ll he
g v- n faltering free coinage men tor the
adodmriit ot their principles. If the
ppoDents of free coinage have tbe num
encal xtrergth they can. nt course, suc-
essively etnke nut every eectioo of the
ill relating to tree coinage, and leave
only the last section, which provides tor
the immed'-!e repeal of the Stiermm
orchasing clause.
PRIORITY OF CONSIDERATION
The great question stih to he deter
mined iswhico of the two bills is to have
priority ot consideration The silver
men te-iribat if the re pea ing bill shoulu
te fir-t taken, up. the fre-coinage
amendment, which would naturally oe
proposed, might, uod. r a strict interpre
tation nf par iamentary law, be declared
not germane to tbe subject under con
sidtration, the main question being that
of repeal. To guard agt nst such a rul
ing and to in". rite klicessiye votes on all
proponj t if Mjrno -Ab presVnied by the sil
ver rrfVn, tbe latter demand that tbe bit!
of the free-coinage men, which also con
tains the clau-e repealing the purchas
log act. shall be given priority ol con
sideration. .
The toestlosi of liver.
Washington, Aug 11 Tbe conference
of silver and anti silver men 'has reached
an agreement by which tbe debate on tbe
bill for the repeal of tbe purchase clause
o tbe Sherman act will be limited to
twelve days. Tbia will be followed by a
debate ot three days under tbe five-minute
rule, when voting will begin on the
bill and the various silver amendment.
Tbe present arrangement is tbat a repeal
bill shall be introduced in the bouse to
day; that an accompinjing- resolution
shall pi escribe tbe method of procedure?
and general- debate will begin at once.
If carried out, tbls programme will bring
the house to a vote on tbe bill and
amendments August 28. The silver men's
part ot tbe programme is to offer tbe first
substitute looking to free coinage at tbe
present ratio. If defeated, votes wiil be
taken on amendments fixing tbe ratio at
17. 18, 19 and 30, in order, and finally
these" failing, to fall back on tbe B.and-
Allison act.
THK BILL INTRODUCED.
On the assembling of tue bouse, im -
mediately after, reading the Journal,
Wilson, Democrat, ol West Virginia, in -
t rod aced a repeal bill. Bland offered the
agreement made this morning goveinn g
debate. It limits the talk to a tmal o(
tour'eeu das from 11 a. m. to 5p x.
sub night sessions tor debate only it de
sired. Bland a!so presented the bill of
the free coinage caucus. Bland de
maBded the previoqs que-tion 'oo bis or
der, but it whs' antagonized by the Ke
puMicans underM he leadership ol Can
non, who wanted tn debate 'he question.
Final v a vote was taken, resulting:

g- nerally voted with tbe D'lTlocratS In
support of the motion. Tne resolution

It is a phenomenal drop. Tbe fact tbat

Washington. Aug. 11 Tbe following
ratement made by be president was
given for publication this afternoon :
My absence from the capital at this
time may excite some snrprise in vie
of the intense interest in tbe uhj-ct now
awaiting tbe determination of congress.
Though my views and recommendations
already have been officially submitted to
that body, and tbnogn I am by no means
certain I could furtuer aid In bringing
aboui the result which seems so neces
sarv, it Would be a great salislaction to
me if I could remain at tbe scene t f ac
ti'in. But whether I am here or elee
where I shall look with hope and confi
dence to tbe action of those upon whom
the responsibility now rests, of relieving
our people from their present dangers
and dim ultiea. I am going back to my
summer home at tbe sea shore, because I
am not sufficiently rested from tbe attain
to whicb I have been subjected to since
tbe4tb ol March to fit me again In as
sume the duties and labois wb cb await
me bere. 1 have been counselled by
those wpose opinion I cannot disregard
that tbe further rest I contemplate is ab
solutely necessary to my health and
stieBgib. I shall remain away during
the month of August, and devote myself
to rest and outdoor n creations My day's
doings will be devoid of luterest to tbe
public, and I shall be exceedingly
pleased if I can be free from the atten
tions ot newspaper correspondents.

mile east of Idanha is anotner. The most
furious one, and one that is spreading in all
direct! -us, ia five miles up the Breitenbush.
There is no possible ohancu of checking the

feet of fine timber will be destroyed in the

more or less injured. Capt. Henry Saugh
man, son to E. W. Baoghman the old

ing up the family nf an old man tnra-
Icin, says tho Eugene Guard. Tho old
man, formerly lived in Hosebivrg where lio

former has a married son who is sick
with consumption. After the minister
was expelled from the U. B. church, he
made his home with the old man living
off of him and frequently borrowing -money.
He also paid much attention to
the sick man's wife, sitting up with her
until 2 or 3 o'clock. The minister pre
vailed on tbe wife to borrow money for
him from the old man, who finally com
pelled him to leave. Stilt the wilb lm- ,
portuned for money, which was refused,
as the old man did not have more than
enough to help him through with bis son.

kept undti his pillow, and ho is com
pelled to 8,8k public charity. Mr. Camp

cutters' hammer nor ring of the tool sharp
eners' anvil to-day. I do not know what
to call it some call it a strike, but I think
t ia only a suspension of work for a few
days. Tbe contractors, owing to the gen
eral financial distress, were not able to pay
their stone-cutters promptly on regular pay
day yesterday, so they refused to go to
work this morning. No doubt but their
money will be at hand in a few days. This
has been a bad week so tar lor tne work. -The
