DiscussiOn in the Senate of the Inter-
national Monetary Conference— The
.Lengthened Sessions Seem to Affect
Senatorial Patience.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. —An entirely
novel amendment to the silver purchase
repeal bill was suggested in the senate
yesterday by Mr. Morgan (dem., Ala). It
proposes the revival of the free coinage
not of 1837, and the remission of 20 per
cent. of import duties to the countries that
receive American standard silver dollars of
present weight and fineness at par. as legal
tender money.
The debate on the repeal bill was con-
tinued by Mr. Dolph (rep. ., Ore.) in favor
of its passage. Questions were put to him
by Mr. Teller (rep. ., Col.) as to what
chance there was for friendly silver legis-
lation during the present administration,
or for steps being taken towards an int-er-
national arrangement. Mr. Dolph’s
answer gave little encouragement on the
first point, and as to the second point, Mr.
Allison (rep., Iowa)" a delegate to the
Brussels monetary conference, said that
he did not understand the reasons why the
1eassembling of the conference had been
postponed.
Mr. Allison also bore testimony to the
desire of the delegates from all the
European countries, including Great-
Britain, to favor the use of silver money,
the only difficulty being how to give prac-
tical effect to that desire in their respect-
ive countries. Mr. Palmer (dem., Ill.)
expressed his conviction that it was the
belief of President Cleveland that he
Would appeal in vain to foreign govern- '
inents to come to an international agree-
.ment so long as the United States con-
tinued. to purchase silver bullion and to
coin silver money. -
The debate was continued by Mr Power
(rep. , Mont.) in opposition to the repeal
bill and by Mr. Palmer (dem., Ill.) in its
advocacy.
At the close of Mr. Palmer :5 speech there
ivas an interesting and amusing' scone.
Mr. Dubois asserted his belief that there
were not ten senators who were actually
anxious to pass the repeal bill, and he
almost challenged the trial of physical en-
durance. - This test Mr. Palmer deprecated
as an act of barbarism, and he Went
through the pantomine of partially t1king
off his coat when illustrating the imagi-
nary scene of,trying who was the better
man. The incident afforded‘great amuse-
ment. V
Mr. Dunphy, (dem., N..Y) just before
the house adjourned yesterday, and when
the chamber was practically deserted,
made a bold attempt to secure the passage
. of the New York bridge bill, but although
Mr. Warner (dem., N. Y.) declined to ob:
jcct to the consideration ofthe bill, he was '
equally prompt in raising the point of “‘No
quorum” on its passage. The vote dis-
closed the piesence of 27 members, 14
being in the affirmative‘ind 13 in the neg.
ative, and the house adjourned. Previous
to this episode, the debate on the federal
election bill was continued by Mr. North-
way (rep. , Ohio) and Mr. Bowers (rep.,
Cal.) in opposition, and by Mr. DeForest
(dem., Conn ) and Mr. Kyle (dem., Miss.)
in support of it.
CHINESE LAW.
The House Committee ‘Will Recom-
mend Its Modification.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.——At its meeting
yesterday the house committee on foreign
affairs voted to accept the McCreary sub-
slitut'e for the Everett bill to amend and
modify the Geary Chinese registration and
eXclusion act, and authorized the chair?
man to report it to the house. The com-
mittee accepted it as it was prepared by
Mr. Mchary and the vote by which the
favorable report was ordered was unani‘
mous, except Mr. Geary' s. The substitute

the date of passage of the act, the time
within Which the Chinese may register;

~witnesses to be produced by the Chinaman
in support of his right to remain in the
country, and defines the meaning of the

House Banking Committee
Begin to Listen.
Congressman Davis of Kansas Argucs
for llfore Currency—Financial His- ‘
.tory. and Precedent-s Cited—Kansas
Mortgages and Their Foreclosure.
VVAsmNGTON, Oct, 4.-.—-An interesting
session of the committee on banking and,
currency was held yesterday. Represen-
tative Davis, of Kansas, was catechized by
_the seveial members of the committee as
he unfolded his arguments in support of
his bills to issue- fractional currency and
to replace retired natiOnal bank currency
with greenbacks and to reissue 'lost and
destioyed treasury notes, and several lively .
passages occurred between Messrs Sperry
and,“ arner, and the populists particularly.
In the course of his argument Mr. Davis
said paper currency issued by a goVern-
ment was just as good as the government
itself. It was no better for it must die
with the government that issued it and
this being true, it‘would fight for thepres-
crvaticn and existence of its government
while gold would not, but at the appear--
once of danger would hide. or flee. away.
“No paper money was ever issued in the
world,” said Mr. Davis,
had first failed as the money of the coun-
try issuing it.”
Numerous illustrations of this were cited
by Mr. Davis.
, Mr. Davis maintained that as a general
thing an inmates in the volume of currency
was fOllowed by an increase in prices and
vice versa. Pressed by Chairman Springer
he admitted that a doubling of the amount
of currency would not increase prices in
Kansas nor in the United States more than
10 or 15 per cent.
.. “If it were an in lependcnt matter, it
would,” he said, “out it is complicated
with debt and other matters.”
- He quoted the late Senator Plumb to‘the
cfiect that a contraction Of five per cent.
in the currency necessitated the sale of
three Lillions more 'of the products of the
country to pay debts than would have
been necessary before the contraction.
Chairman Springer—“How do you ac
count for the reports that the 1armers of
Kansas, your own state, are paying OE
their ,mortgage indebtedness!”
Mr. Davis—“I will tell you. The
mortgages are being - foreclosed. The
mortgagers lose their property and the
mar tgagees are being cheated because the
security won’t pay the debt. In my own
county 25 mortgages were foreclosed by
the transfer of the property and there are
$30,000 of personal judgments against the
mortgagers. An investigation made by
the leading republican paper in Kansas
showed that 5,000 mortgages _a year were
being foreclosed in that state.”
As to the necessity of the additional
currency provided for in 'his bills, Mr.
Davis said money was' conditional and
final inits nature. Final money was that
which had the fiat of the government he-
hind itand which was the basis of all com-
mercial transactions. Statistics showed,
he said, that 95 per cent. of the business
of the nation was done upon conditional
money (checks, drafts, and the. like), there-
fbre the witdrawal of 1? dollar of final
money meant the loss of twenty dollars of
trade .or busing-51. Congress made this
final money and it was the constitutional
duty of congress to issue enough paper
money in addition to gold and silver, so
as to maintain level prices. It was 11d-
mitted, he said, that there was not enough
money, in the treasury to transact _the
business of the government. The present
volume of paper money could be in-
creased, according to good democratic au-
thority (Senator Rock) to $700,000,000
upon the existinng gold reserve without
danger. He himself did not ask for so
much. He asked that only so much be is-
sued as would replace the green bucks lost
and destroy ed and the national bank cur-
rency retired. That would not take into
account all the growth of the business and
population of the country. Certainly
$200,000,000 could be added and should
be. Paper mouey with the quality of final
redemption had always been preferred to
coin, and be quoted from the message of
President Hayes in 1879 to prove his as—
sertion that the resumption act of that
year was a resumption of paper and not of
gold. In the first eleven months of that
year the deposits of gold and silver for ex-
change into paper exceeded by $40,000,000.
the amountof notes presented for redemp-
tion.

Death by Hundreds. .
Yesterday a lone and rugged fishermen,
who was a member of the fishing colony
at Bayou- Cook, where all the oysters bear.
inz that name are fished, and which is lo- ..
catcd about seven miles back cf the Burns
settlement, came to the Socola canal,
Mississippi, opposite Point 11 la Hache, and
reported to the keeper of the locks of the
canal, Ozene Martin, that of the 300 peo-
ple who composed the colony but 80 had
succeeded in escaping the fury of the ele-
ments. The fishermen had all retired
Sunday night as usual and though the
wind was blowing pretty hard, there was
no forerunner of the terrible catastrophe
that followed. Asthe night grew space
the wind increased in velocity until the
timbers in the houses began to creek in
an alarming manner and the roar of‘the‘
waves grew louder and louder. The
water lose with startling rapidity, and be-
fore the unfortunates, who had no possi-
ble means of escape, had time to grasp
some. floating object, they were over--
‘whelmed with the awful might and fOun'd
their fate in watery graves. He had clung
to a tree throughout the night, aiid when
morning dawned the scene of wreckage
that spread before his view was simply ter-
rible. Ofthe many littlecabins which had
sheltered the prosperous colony the night
before barely one was standing. Of the 300
or more human beings who inhabited them
but a tenth of the number lived to tell of
the night of experiences filled with horror-
which they will never forget. He describes
the visitation as in the nature of a tidal
wave which swept everything befOre it,
Greater Fatalities Feared.
While nothing definite wasreceived from
Grand Isle, there was ageneral' impression
at Point a la Roche that dire disaster had
occurred there and it was even reported
that the water had swept over the} island,
carrying everything before it in its awful
fury, and'much con cern was: felt for the
safety ~of the two or three hundred inhabi-
tants who were known to have been there.
The report also said thatthe big hotel had
Men blown away. While this has “not
been confirmed, such a calamity wee pos-
sible in view of the terrible violence of the
storm at Bayou Cook 113 reported by the
lone fisherman.
Report also had it that the settlements
at Chenier Aman'ada, which is directly
across the buy from Grand 1313, had been
the scene of a terrible loss of life but this
also looked confirmation. N o communi-
cation wus' possible with those points and.
it will doubtless be several days before the
extent of. the calamity there is made
known.
It was also reported that several casual-
ties had occurred in the neighborhood of

ting at the particulars . .

STEVENSON ‘BARRED? OUT.-
.A Vigilant Watchman Who Did Not?
. Know the Vice-President.
‘ WAsnmorox, Oct. 4.-—Presidents have
v been denied admission to the executive de-v
partmeuts by watchmen who did not know ,
them, but it is a most uncommon occur-
once. It happened once to President
Grant and ouce'to'Presldc’nt, Hayes, .each
, of whOm had some trouble getting across
to the secretary of the treasury after hours.
:Vice-Prcsident Stevenson had a similar ex-
perience at the treasury department yes-
terday. He had an engagement with See-
rotary Carlisle at 4 o’clock in regard to
the silver repeal bill and arrived at the
building promptly on time. He essayed
to enter by the south door on 15th street,
and when the vigilant watchman barred
his way he said he was Mr. Stevenson.
That construed. no information to the
watchman and the chances are that the
distinguished visitor might have been coni-
pelled to break his engagement had it not
been for the fact that an ubiquitous news-
paper man came along just then and ad-
. dressed Mr. Stevenson as “the Vice Presi-
dent, ” whereupon the truth dawned upon
the watchmen and he opened the doors to
their widest extent and made the most
iprofuse apologiea He is a new man, but
' is not likely to suffer for his conduct, for
the reason that he was simply obeying his
instructions.
I DISGBACEAND SUICIDE;
A High Hungarian Official an Em-
bezzlcr.
'BunArssr, Oct, 4. ~A1exius Bokros, vice—
president of the Hungarian lower house,
was found on the pavement in front of his
house severltl days ago with his skull frac-
tured, and the report was sent out that he
fell nocidentally from the window ‘of his
room in the third story. Bokros died soon
after he was found.- It is now learned that
he took his life on account of business
troublhs. In his practice as a lawyer Bok-
- 103 had embezzled funds entrusted to him -
by his client, the Countess Montbach, and ‘
had spent all his available money in un-
fortunate speculation on the bonus. When
the countess discovered his dishonesty she '
began pro lugs against him. The die-
grace into unich her action brought him
unsettled his mind and eventually drove
him to suicide.
