THE 9. A. a ENOAMPMENT.

Indianapolis Arrayed In Flags and Bunt-
ing to Welcome the Veterans.
' The Pension Question.

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 2. —-’I‘he~ extensive
and elaborate arrangements for the meet.
ing of the Grand Army national encamp-
ment next week have been cOmpleted. The

attendance of members is estimated at from-

75,000 to 100,000, and free quarters in tem-
porary barracks and school buildings have
been provided for 25,000. The railroads, as
usual, have given lower rates for this than
for any other event of the year, and it is
probable that there will be 200,000 visitors
in the city during the week. ‘
The city has been within the past two
days elaborately decorated, and the streets
» are fluttering wildernesses of bunting,
flags and various emblems of the G. A. R.
and kindred organizations. The ceremo-
nies begin Saturday morning, when the

annual reunion of the Naval Veterans’ as—V

sociation takes place and the model of the
Kearsarge, which has been erected in the
capitol grounds, is put in commission.
The Grand Army people will arrive during
Saturday night and Sunday.

Colonel I. N. “Talker has prepared the
report which will be submitted to the del-
egate meeting of the encampment in this
city next week. The report demands that
there shall be in future no proceedings

against pensioners, or, in other words, no »

suspensions without furnishing prime. facie
evidence of fraud. Where such evidence is
furnished the committee demands that the
pensioner shall be informed not only of the
character of the charge, but of his accuser,
and shall have the right to be heard in his
own defense.

There Is No Danger of It Getting a
Foothold In Jersey City.

ABROAD IT STILL SPREADS.

More Cases Reported at Grimsby, Which
Port Has Been Isolated by Eng-
land—«Raging In Hungary,
Russia and Italy.

NEW YORK, Sent. 2.—In view of the care .

exercised by tbc'Uuited States marine serv-
ice, acting under' the law. enacted last
year, in obtaining from its own agents and
'consuis exact reports of the development
of cholera in foreign countries, surprise has
been expressed at the treatment of the sus~
picious deaths in Jersey City. It seems
the health board of Hudson county is not
required by law to furnish a report of sus—
picious cases to any higher authority.

Yesterday, however, Surgeon General
Wyman telegraphed instructions from
Washington to the United States marine
hospital at Staten Island to make a thor-
ough examination of the Jersey City cases
and report forthwith. An expert physician,
and chemist from the hospital was there-
upon sent to assist, the local health'board
in determining the nature of the disease. '

Dr. Edson’ of this city has reported to
President Feeneyof the Jersey City board
that a preliminary examination by micro-
scope Of the intestines of Martin Crowe,
who died on Wednesday morning, showed
cholera symptoms. A pesthouse has been
established at Black Bridge.

The Hudson county health officials now
think that, although the diagnoses of some
of the recent suspicious cases in Jersey
City Were correctly given as sporadic
cholera, all danger of infection is past.

.. ,More Cholera In England.
LONDON, Sep t. 2. —._The port :of Grimsby,

.in Lincolnshire, has been declared to be'ino

[ectedwith cholera, and traffic between it
and other British ports has been prohibit:
ed. During August there were 80 deaths
in Grimsby from what was called at first
diarrhea "and later a choleraic disease.
The general belief now is that many of
these deaths were due to cholera.

A trawler arrived at Grimsby this morn-
ing with a case of cholera aboard and was
detained at quarantine. Four fresh cases
of cholera and two deaths have been re—
ported'to the Grimsby authorities today.

The town’s fever hospital has been pre-
pared to receive cholera cases. It has ac-
commodations for 70 patients, and all who
apply to the management will be treated
without charge. ~

VANCE MAKES HIS SFFFGH.

Ho Advocates Free Coinage and Botly
Critlelses Senator German's Attitude.
The House Declares Itself ,
Opposed to Cloture.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.——By the operation
of parliamentary law or of senatorial rules,
which are equally abstruse and difficult of
comprehension, the bill allowing an in-
creased issue Of circulating notes to na-
tional banks lost yesterday its vantage

. ground as unfinished business on the senate

calendar, and , the house bill -'for the repeal
of the Sherman act took its place.
And‘so at the end Ofeach morning’s busi-

- ~ness and so long as it retains its precedence

they'repealr bill will be laid before the sen-
at'e "unless Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the
finance committee, may choose to letlother
business be. transacted- The repeal bill will
not necessarily be laid aside at the close of
the morning .hour, but will remain as the
question before the senate throughout the =
day. , . .
The senate committee ,on judiciary,
through Senator Teller, has reported to the
senate, with the recommendation that it
pass, a bill submittingtothe court of pri-
vate land claims the claim of ~William Mc-
Garrahan to Rancho Pancho Grands, in
California. This case, in its intermin' able
windings, equals the chancery case'of Jarn-
dyes and J drndyce. The subject matter of
the bill has been before congress for 25.
years, while the controversy over the title
to the lands extends over 10-years more of .
time in the courts and in the executive do?
partments. ' ‘ .

I’efl'er's Free Coinage Bill.

Senator Peffer introduced in the senate a
bill to provide for the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver bullion. The
measure .provides that the standard for
both gold and silver coins shall hereafter
be such that of 1,000 parts by weight 900
shall be of pure metal and 100 of alloy; the
9.110 of silver coins to be copper and that ,of
go] coins copper and silver, the silver‘not
to exceed one—half of the whole alloy. .

The silver. dollar is to contain 412%
grains, the «half dollar 206% grains, the
quarter 103%. grains, and the dime 41%
grains, the coins to be legal tender for a y-
sums whatever. In gold coins the e
is to contain 258, the half, eagle 129 grains
and the quarter eagle 64%. ‘ g

The silver and gold coins heretofore is-
sued are to continue to be legal tender on
the same terms as if they wore. coined un-
der this act.- Gold and silver bullion
brought to the mints is to be'received and
coined for the benefit of the depositor. '

All provisions of existing law relating to
coinage which are not inconsistent with
the provisions of this act are to be con-'"
strued in aid of its execution, and laws that
conflict with its provisions are repealed. 4

After some 20 minutes spent in the ordi~
nary routine morning business of the sen-
ate, none of which was of public impor-
tance, the house bill to repeal part of the
Sherman act was taken up, and Mr. Vance
(Dem., N. 0.), one of the minority mein~
bers of the finance committee, addressed
the senate in Opposition to the bill.

Senator Vance’s Speech.

Mr. Vance began his speech with the
statement that the great law of supply and
demand operated in regard to money just
as it did to everything else. When money
was abundant, prices were high; when it
was scarce, the prices of all products were
low. Therefore he that increased the
abundance of money benefited production
and enhanced prices and wages, and he
that contracted or diminished the amount
of this money depreciated everything that
is for sale, including wages, though by
reason of combin ationsand defensive meas-
ures in many parts of the world wages are
affected less than products. ‘

The effect upon the condition of mankind
which would follow the destruction of one-
half the currency of‘ the world, amounting
in the aggregate to $7,300,000,000, it would
be impossible to accurately describe. Still
this process of destruction has been going
on quietly since 1872, and - its result is seen
in prices lower in many things than has
ever been known in the-memory of ,man.

Mr. Vance then began a discussion of the
history of the demonetization of silver, tak-
ing as his starting point the action of Great
Britain as early as 1816,»which action on
her part was necessary to enable her to pay
in gold her great debts to the Jew Roths-
child. , _-

Every government that had demonetized
silver had done so when it was at a pre-
mium, and when the coinage was stopped
in India. the effort to have it stopped alto-
gether in the United States began, aided by
the influence of the moneyed power of all the
world and our own government. If coin-
age stopped here, silver ceased to live
throughout the commercial nations of the
earth. The repeal of the law without any
substitute meant the end of silver money
for this generation unless a revolution of
the people should restore it, as it did after
the fraudulent demonetization of 1873.

A Money Holder’s Conspiracy.

Let no man doubt that this movement
for the repeal of the Sherman act was the
result of a conspiracyamong the money
holders of the world. Our own secretary
of the treasury had said so. It had been
repeatedly announCed in the British house
of commons and. novvhere denied that the
intention. of this combinatioa was to in-
crease the value of the gold in the hands of
those who held it and increase the value of
all securities by making them payable in
gold. The method of the attack was by the
creation of a panic.

Mr. Vance criticised the action of the
secretary of the treasury in redeeming the
notes issued in payment for bullion in'gold
and said that any technically intelligent
man would construe that law to mean that
discretion was to be used in favor of silver
when the condition of the treasury re-
quired it. ; - ‘

The discussion of . this question, Mr.
Vance said: Was narrowed by the fact'that
all parties profess bimetallism‘ and have
declared for the use of both gold and silver
in their platforms.

Referring to the Democratic platform,
.Mr. Vance asked if it was meant that by
coining no silve ,we should thereby make
no distinction against either metal? Did
the platform mean that we should first cut

. oil? the coinage of silver and then show no

discrimination; but coin equally of both!
And after that, when the platform, said
that the dellar unit of all ceinage of both
metals .must be of a1 intrinsic and' ex-
changeable value, did mean .that we must
first reduce, lay-hostile legislation, the h-

If such an .interpretafiou'of the platform .

as was contended for here bythose who
will vote for repeal, and presumably bythe
president, had been announced during the

campaign of the last year, Mr. Vance said" 1

he was quite sure Mr. Cleveland would not

have carried his state (NOrth 03.011...)be :

50,000 votes, and he believed further that

he could hot have carried" a single electoral 7" .

' German Answered. ,

 

 

 

In reply to Senator German’s query, Why

the friends of silver halted between uncon-

ditional and conditional repeal, Mr. Vance

said that by conditional repeal we united
the Democratic party, or at‘least all true
friends of bimetallism. By the proposition
of unconditional repeal that was impos-
sible. Bimetallism was the most popular
if not the most potential factor in the last
campaign. It was the one plank cOmmOu
to all platforms. A comparison of-votes in
congress and in conventions before and aft,-
er the proposed repeal would form a con-
trust. that would put to shame the wonder
inspiring patent medicine advertisements,
“Before and after taking”. " , .
Referring to Senator Gordon’s change of
front, he said he believed he would bacon-1
damned out of his own mouth and would
be compelled to say, like the 'wild eyed,
long haired ,man' who accompanied the
temperance lecturer, “I goes alOng to serve
as a frightful example." Giving . and ' tak-
ing was fair, but when one side did all the

giving and the other side all the taking it _

amounted to a surrender. .

In view of the attitude of the president,
he knew and other senators knew that any
bill providing for either the free coinage or
the. limited, coinage of silver could not be-
come a. law, and to permit the passage of
this bill without attaching some other leg-
islation was to unconsciously surrender
and turn their backs upon the pledges
made to the people.

After dwelling for a time upon the pro-
duction of the two metals and their use as
money by diflerent governments, Mr. Vance
concluded his speech by a declaration fa-

‘ voring the free and unlimited coinage of all:

ver and explained why he thought this

'could be accomplished and maintained.

.._. The House Against Cloture.

After the reading of the journal in the
house Mr. Weadock (Dem., Mich.) oflered
a resolution postponing from tomorrow
until Sept. 15 the delivering of eulogies
ppon the late J. Logan Chipman oi Mich-
gan.

Mr. Reed (Rep, Me.) said that that reso-
lution presupposed that the house would
be in session at that date. He had hoped
that “the country would have been relieved
of us before that time."

The resolution was adopted, and the con-
sideration of theruleswas then resumed.

The vote was taken on the Boatner clo~
ture amendment, which provided that when
the chairman of a committee, or any mem-
ber of the house having abill in charge
which is under consideration, moved the
previous question on, a pending amend-
ment, or engrossment and, third reading, or
final. passage of the bill, the speaker must
submit the question tothe house without

entertaining any motion. against the same. :

If the motion was agreed to, the ques-
tion should then be put“ on, the proposition
to which the motion for the previous ques-
tion applied, and no motion should be en.-
tcrtained against the same except one mo-
tion to recommit, with Or Without instruc-
.tions, which motion should be decided with-
out~debate.= ' '

The cloture amendment was rejected—J

yeas,‘96; nays, 131. , .1

An amendment ofiered by MnGrosvenpr
(Rep, 0.) gave promise of’ causing a good
deal of, discussion. ’ It was to prevent the
banking and currency committee from re«
perting at any times. bill to repeal the tax
on state, bank circulation, but after it was
shown that the amendment would be vig-'
ously opposed Mr. Grosvenorwithdrew it.

Another amendment which threatened
to give rise to a’warm debate :also came to
an untimely end.- It was Offered by Mr.
Springer and gave cloture powers .- to the

committee, which have a right to report at '
