Sonate Repeal BUI.
Washington, Aog. 18 In the senate,
the finance c mimitlee decided to report
tbe repeal bill today.
Tbe votes by wbicli it. was reported
are: Chuirniin Voorhees, and Senators
McPtiersnn. Morrill, Sherman, Allison
and Aldnch, the lust toor Rt publicans
The toil text ol tbe bill omitting the
clause is.
That so much ot tbe act approved July
14. 1890, entitled "An act directing the
purcruse 01 silver ou'iiod ami ine issue
of treasury notes, and . for other pur
poses," as directs tbe secretary ot the
treasury to purchase from time to time
sl'vt-r bul ion to tbe aggregate amount of
4.5(70.600 ounces, or so much thereof as
may be off. red in each month, at the
market price therefor, not exceeding $ 1
for 37j. 25 grains pure silver, and to is
sue in pavment tor such purchases tre&s
nry notes of the United b'ates, be and
tbe same is hereby repealed. And it is
hereby declared to be the policy or the
Uniied States to continue tbe use of both
gold and silver as standard money, and
to coin both gold And silver into money
of equal ntrinsic and exchangeable
va'ue, such (quality to be secured
through international agreement or by
H;
such safeguards of legislation as will lo
re ibe maintenance of a parity in tbe
ue ot coins of tbe two metals and the
eqnal power of every dollar at alt times
in tbe markets and in tbn payment of
debts. And it is hereby further declared
that the efforts of tbe government should
be steadi y directed to the establishment
ot such a safe system of himetalism as
nil maintain at ai times the equal
power of every dollar coined or ieued by
the United States in the markets and in
'he paymrnt of di-bts '
The Kuuline ProreediDgg.
Washington, Aug 18 In the senate.
Falkner, D- mocrat, made a motion that
tbe nenate adjourn today until Monday.
It was resihted by Hoar and Frye, and
the motion was finaiiv withdrawn. Voor
bees reported from tbe committee- on
finance tbe bill to discontinue the pur-
t-bnse of silver bullion, and dec are it o
be policy to continue the use of both
gold and silver as standard money. II-
had beurd the taunt that be was s eking
to ao something in tbe interest ot the na
tional banks. Ht was seeking nothing
of tbe kind. He was seeking to avail
himeifof their power, nterest and cu
pidity in order to increase the circulate
ing medium and thereby meet the press
ing- wants of the laboring people. Wis
n'v - he bill in the m.'erest of tue bxoksl
"Vtst, on beha f of .the minority of the
finance (-ommi'tee, presen'ed a substitute
for the repeal bill. The t-uhstitnte fixes
ih- runi?tr ol grains of tilver in coins at
464.1 grains pure silver per dollar, an)
proportionately for na f dollars.. quarters
.and dimes. . '
Vooriiees give notice that he won d
call up his bill and address tbe senate'
Tuesday.
A Letter From Vlllard. '
NewY bk, Aug. 18 The following
letter lrom Henry Villard was received
at the meeting of tbe direetors of the
Northern Pacific railway yesterday It
relates to the charges brought by John
Swope, a stockholder of the company:
"New York, Aog. 14 Thomas F
Oakrs, President of the Northern Pacific"
Rtilroad Company Dear Sir: I dulv
received 'vour favor ecclo-ing tln com
munieation ol Messrs. R-ad and Pet' it,
Suutii3n3tSR StlToXraiT::; JoK 8 lyopeTTrr
the Northern Pacific Kaiiroad Company',
and bearing date ot the 4th Inst I de
sire to immediately place oo record my
uo fficial denial of the charges made, ao
far aa tbey in. any wise relate to me, nd
to make more emphatic my statement J
hereby present to vou my aff davit on
the subject as requested by the counsel;
rho will show vou bow absolutely un
warranted it would be to subject me to
tbe annoyance and expense of litigation
over matters in which I took no part.
Yours tiuly, ' H. Villard.
The affidavit requested by the com
pany was appended.
Are Mat so Confident.
Washington, Aug. 18 It becomes
apparent as tbe debate in tbe bouse pro
gresses that tbe test of strength between
the silver and anti S'lver forces will be
shown oo tbe substnote for free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1 instead of 20 to 1,
wbico has been tbe popular impression
among anti -silver men. The weak points
in the scale of the ratios above 16 to 1
bave developed gradually. Messrs. B'und,
Bryan and other veteran silverites are
telling their followers that an increase in
tbe ratio would be a concession to the
single gold standard, for it would .be "on
admission that the future use of money
must depend opou it intrinsic Vytlue in
stead ot tbe stamp, of the government,
and would he subject to change just as
the price ol bullion fluctuates. Tbe sil
ver leaders agree with Bryan tbat bimet-
alism does not depend -on any fixed
ratio, but may exist as well at a ratio of
16 to 1 as at a ratio of 30 to 1, lhe
free-silver leadeis are counseling their
followers to mass tbeir strength on a
substitute of 16 to 1, and many' of them
will decline to vote tor a higher ratio on
the ground tbat It would be a degrad
ation of tbe white metal as a monetary
standard.. Tbe silver men admit now
that the repeal vote will pass the house
by a 1-rge msjority because ot tne pe
culiar variety of free-coinage views, bnt
. they hope tbat tbe senate will return the
bul to the houte with certain concessions
to silver coinage.
A Serious Conflict Expected.
Monclova, Mtx., Aug., 18 Tbe poll
tical troubles in tbe state of Cobabuiia
,are growing more serious. Followers of
Cirdenas and Q.Ian, the rival candidates
tor eoyernflr, are being' armed and or
ganizing in parts of the state. - A general
bloody coo nict la expected witnin a lew
days.- A lorce ot fcOU ol Cardenas' men
is reported to bave captured the town of
Guerrero and ejected tbe mui icipal of
ficers, who are Galan men. All of the
principal towns in tbe state are in the
lianas ot armed forces ot Cardenas men
At Monclova tbe cbief ot Dolice was
killed by Cardeoas' men when they ronde
an attack upon the place Tbe federal
government is taking no part
ia tbe
war.
The Home-Rale Bl l. '
Loudon, Aug. 18 Iu the house"of
commons today, u adstone annouucea
that Monday be would move tbe adop
tion -of a resolution to apply the cloture
to the report stage ot tbe borne rule bul
on Friday next.
RiL'ht Hon Joseph Chamberlain, leader
of the unionist, gave notice tbat be womd
move an amendment to Gladstone g res
olution . that tbe bouse declvre'tuat tne
government's proposal was calculated to
degrade tbe house into a voting machine,
depriving tbe Bluish majority 61 their
constitutional rights, and ought, there-.
fore. to be withdrawn. .
India's Importation of Silver.
London, Aug. 18 A special dispatch
to the Timet 1rom Calcutta says that tbe
absence of a demand for Indian council
bills is attributed there to the enormous
importations of silver made during tbe
protracted sitting of the Herscbell Indian
currency commission, lbese importa'
tions during tbe year ending March last
amounted to 150,000.000 rupees against
the normal yearly importation of 80.000,-
000 rupees. Tbe dispatch adds tbat- n
great fall in exchange within the- next
few weeks is inevitable. Tbe readjust
ment which must follow to bring tbe
rate to Is 4d must be severe.
A Boundary Dispute.
Panama, Aug, 18 Tbe government ol
Colombia has re- established tbe legation
at San Jose, Costa Rica, Tbis signifies
the desire on tbe part ot Colombia to re
open direct negotiations looking to a
settlement of tbe bound .ry dispute of
Bocas del Torn and the provinces ot
Chirique.and Salamanca. M Mancini.
who was formerly French minister to Bo
gata. is returning to Colombia aa attor
ney for tbe Panama canal receivers.
' The Railroads).
New York, Aug. 18 A St. Paul dis
patch affirm-, that a movement Is on font
to start a company, with James J Hili at
the head, for the purpose of consolidating
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
systems, which include practically the
whole Northwest. It is asserted that
Presidents Hill and Oakes are at present
jru i u jr over toe ut-mi'i jjriur io repnrinr
some plan of operation to be submitted
to the stockholders.
To Urge an Immediate Repeal.
linsTON, Aug. 18 A committee rep
resenting tbe business men of Boston
suggested to the chamber of commerce
bat it communicate by telegraph to
persons with whom they bad business
relations in tbe West and Soutb, request
os them to correspond without delay
with ibeir senators and representatives,
rging the impoitance of be immediate
repeal of the purchase clause of tbe
Sherman law. ' .
