Th silver Debate.
Washington, Sept. 1 The seDate took
up the house bill to repeal the silver-pur
chase clause of the Sherman act with the
Voorhees bill as a substitute. Vance of
North Carolina, one of the minority mem
bers of the finance committee, anoke in
opposition to the bill and in favor ot free
coinage. A large part of his speech was
devoted to showing the inconsistencies
of the friends of repeal, in both parties,
in view of the bimetallic declarations of
both the national platforms. He quoted
from these, commenting in an ironical
strain on the way in which the pledges
were being fulfilled. He said they
seemed to think the only way to main
taiu the parity between gold and silver
was to first strike silver a deathblow, atid
unconditional repeal would, he a death
blow, for it was well knowo that Cleve
land wonld veto any silver coinage bill.
The effect on the condition of mankind
following the destruction of half the cur
rency, aggregating $7,500,000,000, it
would be impossible to accurately des
cribe, lie cave the history of the de
monetizstion of silver, and declared tnat.
every government which bad demonetized
the white metal did so when it was at a
premium. When coinage stopped in
India, the effort to have it stopped in the
United States began, aided bv the innu
ence of the moneyed power of all the
world and our government. If coinage
stooped here, silver would cease to live
throughout the commercial nations of the
earth. . The fall in the price would be
greater than that following the stoppage
of coinage in India. Repeal without a
substitute meant an end ot silver money
tor this generation unless a revolution of
the people should restore it as it did after
the fraudulent demonetization of 1873.
Let no man doubt the proposed repeal
was the result ot a conspiracy among the
money-holders of the world. He declared
the Sherman law did not drive out gold,
else why did gold return with it still in
force. The Democratic platform, he
said, denounced the Sherman act as a
cowardlv makeshift, yet this bill for its
repeal, striking silver a harder blow, was
mere cowardly and more of a makeshift.
He closed with a declaration for the free
coinage of silver. After a discussion as
to the relative parliamentary status of
the silver repeal bill and substitutc,unan
imous consent - was isked for the adop
tion of the substitute pro forma, and to
have all the amendments treated as
amendments to the substitute.
Cockrell objected on the ground that
the bouse bill was preferable to the sub
stitute. The discussion is still progress
ing.
IN THE HOUSE.
The house resumed consideration of the
new roles.
The Boatoer amendment providing for
cloture was rejected ; 96 to 131 . -
Urosvenor of Ohio offered an amend
ment to prevent the banking and cur
rency committee from reporting at any
time a bill to repeal the tax on state
bank circulation. After it became evi
dent it would be vigorously opposed, be
withdrew it -r
Springer offered an amendment which
gave cloture powers to the committees
which have the right, to report at any
time; voted down without division.

Vaunt Famine in Cblna.
San Francisco, Sept, 1 Tbe steamer
China arrived from Hong Kong nod Yo
kohama yesteiduy, bringing the follow
ing advices: . .
Very sad accounts of flod and famine
come from Ncrth China, and the distress
among the people is terriblo. In Ho.
Kian men. women, children and cattle
are dying of starvation by hundreds, and
as many as 30 fatal cases of cholera are
reported as taking place in the city
daily. , '
While tbe Dutch steamer Rajah Atjeh,
trading between Penang and the ' east
coast of Acbeen, was making a trip re
cently, the Chinese passengers rose and
attacked - the' crew., Tney killed tbe
English captain and mate and 23 others,
who were presumably Asiatics. Tbey
also wounded 15 others of tbe passengers
and crew. After this slaughter the Chi
nese left the steamer in boats, taking
with them several captives. The steamer
afterwards fell into Dutch bands.
News has been received in Hong Kong
of tbe destruction, during a riot by na
tives, of the Catholic mission near Mien
Yang. Rev. Mr. Stanley, who has been
a resident at Tien-Tsin for 30 years, in a
recent letter savs :
"Since tbe murder of tbe Swedes, the
viceioy of Nanking has Bent word to
some of the missionary families, at their
summer resort, some ten miles 1 distant,
that be could not protect them there, and
tbev have come in. Tbe simple meaning
of this was, liberty to any rough to go
and kill them if tbey remained, and noth
ing would be done. Somebody else will
be warned next, and so it will go on. It
is a scheme to get everybody out of tbe
interior or kill tbem, and then possibly
they will try what can be done at tbe
porta. Probably something of this sort
is necessary to' arouse foreign powers."
A. V'ounar Man Drowned. -Astoria,
Or., Aug. 31 Sunday after
noon Fred C. Mitchell, a young man in
tbe prime of life, was drowDed in the
Knappa slough about 1,00 yards from tbe
residence of bis parents, lie went in
swimming with a companion, James
Munro, and plunging in too hastily, got
beyond his deptb. Unable to swim be
immediately struggled to obtain a foot
ing, but was carnea lurioer out, sinaing
for tbe third time Deiore Dis mend s Hor
rified gaze. - After two hours searching
the body was seen floating several jar as
from shore, and was secured by means of
grappling books. Mr. E. Haskell, gov
ernment inspector at Snag island, who
happened to be. present, worked tor a
long time on tbe corpse, in the vain at
tempt to bring back life by artificial res
piration, Dr. Walker was telegraphed
for, but tbe lad bad been dead several
hours when he arrived.
A Chinese Murderer Hanged.
San Rafael, Cal., Sept. 1 Lee Doob,
Chinaman, was banged bere this morn
ing for the murder of William Sbenton
in 1890. Sbenton was painting a bouse
wbere Lee Doon was employed aad bad
a quarrel with tbe Chinaman. As Sben
ton was driving away in a wagon. Lee
Doon shot him in tbe back. Sbenton fell
to the ground and the Chinaman fired
three more shots mto tne prostrate man's
body. ,
Lee Doon died without a struggle, bis
neck being broken by tbe drop. He was
pronounced dead in 13 minutes.
' A Shootlnz Kear Heppner.
"Heppner, Or.; Ang. 31- Word reached
here at 9 o'clock last night of be mnrder
of William Matteson by Noah JHulicty,
twenty seven miles from Heppner. Mnl
key shot Matteson three times and took
to tbe mountains. Three deputies baye
been since 9 o'clock last night searching
for him. Tonight they came in and re
ported that be bad supper about eighteen
miles from Heppner. He is now beaded
for the main line. Sheriff Noble has
sent messages to apprehend him.
The preliminary trial of the two Jones
boys and Frank Moan is going on very
slowly and will take nearlv all week to
finish . A. S. Bennett, from The Dalles,
is defending the prisoners.
Tho Railway Horror.
Springkield, Sept. 1 Fourteen dead,
one dying, two missing and nearly torty
injured is the sum total ot the Chester
horror ot yesterday, as far as learned. It
is believed several bodies are still under
the wreck. Workmen who picked their
way among the distorted timbers this
morning tell of the discovery of uplifted
arms and ghastly beads in the water. All,
however, lack corroboration. It will be
several days before the wreck is entirely
cleared away.
Set on Klre by Strikers.
Memphis, Ten n., Shpt. 1 The first
act of violence on the part of the strikers
on the Louisville & Nashville railroad oc
curred bere lust night, and caused much
indignation. Several freight cars in dif
ferent parts of the yards were tired by
incendiaries simultaneously, and had it
not been for the prompt action of the fire
department, several Urge warehouses
filled with freight and cotton would have
been burned . .
Strike of Railway Employes.
New Decatur, Ala.; Sept. 1 Em
ployes here of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, 700 in all, including
machinists, boiler-makers, blacksmiths,
tinners, carpenters, etc, were ordered out
on a atrike today on account of the 10
Der cent reduction in wages. Although
in no condition financially to strike, they
are almost certain to comply with the
order.
Street-Car Employes Strike.
Duluth, Sept. 1 All the streets-car
employes are on a strike again ts a reduc
tion of 20 per cent in wages. They of
fered to accept a 10 per cent redaction.
No cars are moving. The sympathy of
the people is with the strikers.
A Plan of Carlisle.
Washington, Sept. 2 Secretary Car
lisle baa about made up his mind to ask
congrers to' authorize tbe coiuage of tbe
silver bullion tt present lying in tbe
treasury. This amounts to $52,000,000
in round numbers By its- coinage the
government would, escape the deficit
which now threatens, and have enough
money to tide it over to tbe time when
tne income will once more equal or ex
ceed the expenditures. Tbe secretary
does not believe there will be much op
position to the request. The only possi
ble opposition be can see must come
from tbe free silver men, who may insist
that tbe entire amount of silver in tbe
treasury shall be coined. The secretary,
as far as be is concerned, does cot tee
any great objection to such demand. He
even believes tbe coinage of tbe entire
amount of bullion would have tbe effect
of - dissipating from the minds of many
persons tbe belief that tbe keeping o(
bullion uncoined is equivalent to keeping
that amount ot money out of circulation.
Cholera at Jersey City. ,
Jersey Cits, N. Jn Sept. 3 Surgeon
General Wyman and Dr. Baitbaire made
a tour this afternoon in tbe districts in
wbicb tbe supposed cholera cases origin

cided to quarantine Jersey City hospital,
where Mr. Crowe and Mrs. Smith died,

now in chargo of. the hospital. While
the quarantine lasts, Christ's hospital and
St. Francis' hospital bave been plactd at
tbe city's disposal for all but cholera sus
pects. Albert McFarland, the suspect
who was' sent to the Emergency hospital
was released this afternoon. He returned
at once to his home in Patterson, fne
authorities became satisfied this evening
that John Lvncb, the Baltimore suspect,
found sick in tbe street this morning, is
Dot suffering from cholera. He will be
released tomorrow.
'A Tramp's Death.
Grant's Pass, Or., Sept. 2 Charles
Shaw, while riding on tbe brakebeam of
a south-bound passenger train yesterday
morning, between West' Fork and Gien-
dale, went to sleep and tell off, three
coaches passing over him. Section men

versed freely before tbe operation. He

claimed to be well connected. Tbe cor
oner's inquest exonerated tbe railroad
company from blame..

says a party of disbanded troops today

guerrillas killed all tbe members of the
escort and seized the money, amounting
to 1S0,000. The robbers .then fled to
