Washington, Aug. 18. Secretary Cor
llele sent to the senate today a commu
nication In reply to. a resolution re
questing certain Information concern
ing tl'e United States redemption
treasury notes Issued under the Sher
man act. During the present month
treasury notes Issued under the act of
July 14th, 1890, amounting to $714,63C,
have been redeemed by the govern
ment In silver dollars. He added. "In
further response to the resolution, I
have to say that recently gold coin has
been presented at the office of this de
partment and sliver dollars asked In
exchange therefor, and that the exchange-was
not made for the reason
that all silver dollars In tha treasury
at the time were required under the
provisions of the laws relating to cur
rency to be held in the treasury to
oover outstanding Bilver certificates
and treasury nates issued under the
act if. July 14th. 1890.
Order3 were telegraphed today to
Captain Barker, commanding the
cruiser Philadelphia, at Callao, Peru,
to proceed to Honolulu at once to re
lieve tha cruiser Boston which has
been ordered to San Francisco to be
lepaired. For some time the navy de
partment has known that the Boston
has been in bad condition and the de
lay in ordering her home indicates
that the condition of affairs ! in Ha
waii waB considered so uncertain that
the government deemed it wise to pro
tect American interests there by the
two vessels. ;
Washington, Aug. 18. The vote on
the repeal bill will not be reached for
some time as there is a disposition Pn
the part of some of the senators to de
bate the ; measure for an indefinite
time, while 'the an(l-llver senators
feel pretty certain that the bill can
pass .the house, they' appear by no
means sanguine of the senate. There
poems to be a feeling that th eblll of
Vest, establishing free coinage at the.
ratio of 20 to 1, will possibly be suc
cessful. The two bills would then go
to conference and in that stage of the
proceedings the senate could without
sacrificing its dignity, recede from its
position and adopt the bill of thehouBe
It is believed that the members favor
able to free coinage, having, by that
time put themselves on record, would
be wiling to vote to recede ,and the
straight repeal would, go to, the presl
for his sanction. . . ' . .
Washington, Aug. 18. In the senate
today, V.oorhees reported from com
mittee on finance a bill to discontinue
the purchase of sliver bullion and to
declare it to be the policy to continue
to use both gold and silver as stand
ard money.
The silver debate opened promptly
this morning in the house, with a
speech by Sibley, democrat, of Penn
sylvania, in favor of bimetallism and
the - Johnson inter-convertible bonds
proposition. '
Vest In the senate on behalf of the
minority of the finance committee, pre
sented a substitute for the repeal bill.
The. substitute fixes the number of
grains of standard sliver in -coins at
464Vi grains of pure sliver per dollar,
and proportionally for half dollars and
quarters and; dimes. Voorhees gave no
tice that he would call up the bill and
address the senate on Tuesday.
CONFESS THEY ARE BEATEN.
Chicago, Aug. 18.--A Washington
special says that the silver men admit
now that a repeal vote will pass the
house by a large majority, because of
the peculiar variety of free' coinage
views in the matter of ratio, but they
hope that the senate will return the
bill to tha house with certain conces
sions to silver coinage.

TWO FIERCE MILLS.
New York, Aug. 18. Two matches
were pulled "qff at the Coney Island
Athletic Club tonight, both brutal

present. The first was between Pat
CahlU of Jersey City, and Tim' Sulli
van of New York, for a purse of J1000.
CahlU was not In It. Sullivan battered
hljn. as he pleased and finally in- the
third round put him to Bleep so effect
ually with a punch on the point of the
jaw that CahlU was not revived for
five minutes.
, The nextB match was between John
Cattenachi of Providence, and Steve
O'Dohnell of Australia, Tor twenty
rounds oi more, for a purse of $2500,
$500'. to go to the loser. - This was also
a Jug-handled affair, Cattenach not
being at all a match for the Austral
Ian. The iatter demonstrated his super
iority from the start. In the fourth
round Cattenach began to weaken.
O'Donnell landed when and where he
pleased and sent his Opponent down
several, times in less than a - minute.
Blood-was flowing down Cattenach'g
breast from his face and he was stag
gerfrg about in a pitiful manner. The
reTtee attempted out of pity to stop
the itnatch, but Juet then Cattenach re
vive sllghJJy and rushing past htm
landed savagel,v ln O'Dtmnell. . The
latter then went at Cattenach like an
infuriated bulu and landed many
vloious blowsk The gong Just saved
Cattenach, and Jljmmy Carroll then
threw up the sponge. Cattenach proved
to be a badly damaged man. A rjhys
iclan'had to be summoned to fix his
face which was in a horribly battered
condition.
