Associated Press. WasMneton. Aua. 20. The eallerle of the house were filled this morning by the people being attracted by the fuct that this was the last day of the tfivat silver debate and that it would be slimallzed hv a battle between or atoricul glunts. The Bpeaher announced that the debate In favor of the bill would be closed, by Its author, Repre sentative Wilson of West Virginia. and that It would be opposed by Bland of Missouri. The debate, was opened by Thos. B. Reed of Maine. After sketc" ing briefly the financial condition of the country, and deckuincr that he had no desire to deal with the situation from a political standpoint, he said "The undlscovenible uncertainty of the future both of the currency questions and the ouestion of protection ana vevoiuie tariff are the principal causes of the present condition of affairs He considered the Sherman act and the accumulation of silver as the earliest indication of the approaching disaster, rather than the chief cause. He was enly sorry that the question could not be settled within the bounds of the 'democratic party itself.. The pathway of duty was unconditional repeal. If that did not give relief, we must try something else and the sooner the bet ter. The republicans found themselves In a peculiar position. The newly cho sen democratlo president found himself powerless in his first great recommend ation to his own party, and forced to appeal to the patriotism of another party, whose patriotism had never been appealed to In vain." Cochran of New York, was the next speaker. He said that the democratic platform did not declare for the free coinage of silver. The proposed debase ment of coin would reduce the debits 45 per cent. The silver men assumed that the loss would fall on the banks but the fact was that the banks and corporations were debtors of the coun try and the loss would fall on thework Ingmcn. He closed with an eloquent appeal for equity and Justice as a bus Is of a governmental policy, awaking! a wairlwind of applause,, and cries of "vote." The speaker was overwhelmed with congratulations. The excitement on the floor was so great that the speaker had to call on the officers of the house to restore order. Bland then began the closing, argument on behalf of the sliver men. Wilson, of West Virginia, the author of the bill, closed the debate In the house with a speech in support of the measure. By universal consent,, he said, the so-called Sherman act failed to justify the expectations of those who framed It. It had been expected to raise the price of Bilver bullion throughout the world. That expecta tion had proved false. It had been ex necrted that an expansion of currency and renewed prosperity would follow the enactment of the law. That ex pectation had been equally falsified. Instead of. producing an expansion of currency, it- had produced a contrac tion of it. No one could doubt that the Sherman law was largely responsi ble for the panic that suddenly over spread the country. It had been ar gued from the first speech to the last made against the impending bill that it would, while stopping the purchase of sliver, throw the country upon a gold basis. . The bill proposed here would not demonetize a single silver dollar today circulating in any part of the country. The bill had come not to destroy, but to save. It carried with it not only a promise of the main tenance of parity between gold and silver, but carried the , parity itself. (Applause.) McMillan Inquired whetn- this bill up with a proposition for free er the gerUleman proposed to follow f-oinaee. Wilson rejoined that he was satisfied that It was the earnest desire of the democratlo administration not only to support the existing silver cir culation in this country, but to increase the issue of silver currency to the ut most extent. It was safe to do bo and to keep silver on a parity with gold. . At 11:05 the house adjourned until Monday, August 5:8, at noii when the first vote will be taken. A FORECAST OF THE SITUATION. -Washington, Aug. 2C The prevail ing Impression as to the probable ac tion of the two houses on the silver question finds expression as follows: "The AVllaon repeal bill will be passed by the huse and pigeonholed by the senate. After a long debate, the sen ate will ni the VoorhxM Mil which will go to the house. If there Is a prospect of a contest, the cloture will be speedily applied and the bill be passed, and will then be ready' for the preBidenfc'a 'SlgnaturN The Voorhees bill only differs from the Wilson bill In' making a declaration In favor of bimetallism A "COUNT" GONE HOME.

TROUBLE WITH A BANK. .Tacoma, Wash,, Aug. 20. An intri cate complication has arisen in refer ence to the Washington National Bank of this oily, which has been In involun tary liquidation for some time under permission of Comptroller of Currency Eckles. Bank Examiner Clary tried to take possession of the books yesterday, but was refused by the bank officers who claim that the bank has funds on hand to pay all claims, and that the action of the bank examiner was an outrage. The bonk takes the position that When it went into liquidation it ceased to be under the comptroller of the currency and la answerable only to the courts. Judge Hanford will be asked for a restraining order to pre vent Clary from taking charge. i THE NEW YORK BANKS. New York, Aug. 20.
