THE DEBATE IN rnrnoosn
Five' Minute Speeches the Order of the
Day Now—Peifer Makesla Hard Fight
and Succeeds In Getting the
Ear of the Senate. 3
i g I
' WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-—These sanguine
statesmen who predict the speedy passage
of the Sherman amendment and .an early
adjournment am not having matters all
their own way. The senate really holds
the key to' the situation. Some of the ex—
treme advocates of silver in that body as-
.sert that if on reconsideration the senate
persists in refusing seats to the appointed
senators from Montana, Washington and
Wyoming they will hold the senate in ses-
sion and stave off a. vote on the silver
question until the legislatures of those
states have been called together in special
sessions to fill the vacancies.
On the house side also there are “doubt-
ing Thomases” who do not see the end of
the session quite so near at hand as some
of their colleagues profess to do. Of this
class is Mr. Augustus N. Martin of Indi-
ana, chairman of the committee on invalid
pénsions. He says:
“'It would be profitable to me if congress
should adjourn, as has been suggested.
My partner has been taken out of the of-
fice to a place on the bench in our district,
and the flrm’s business needs attention.
But I believe the people expect us to re-
main here and continue at work. \Ve can
cut the session that much shorter at the
other end next year.
‘ ‘There is plenty for us to do—plenty that
we have promised to do. Admit New
Mexico; admit Arizona; repeal the federal
elections laws. These things will keep us
busy while the committees on a propria-
tions, ways and means and be ing and
currency are perfecting measures for the
consideration of thehouse.” '
The weakening among senators who
have been accounted “last ditch” free sil-
ver men, upon which in part the confi-
dence of the early adjourners is based, is
said to be due to the pressure brought to ,
bear upon them for early action by the
representatives of other interests than
those of silversniners.
In the House.
Today was the first set apart for the dis-
cussion of the silver bill under the five
minute rule, and the hOuse met at 10
o’clock: Although it was expected there
would be from the start a number of short,
pithy speeches, there were less than 50
,members present when the speaker’s gavel
fell and a handful of spectators in the ga -
cry. 1
The farmers in the far northwest, it is
said, are beginning. to feel the need of
money to move their crops, and the rail-
roads ,sutfer with the farmers in the falling
off of their business. These facts are said
to have been influential in changing the
minds of several senators heretofore classed
among the opponents of immediate or un-
conditional repeal of the Shaman law. , .
The debate was commenced with a speech
by Mr. Waugh (Rep.,-Ind.), who spoke for
repeal as in the interest of bimetallism.
Mr. Somers (Dem., Wis.) favored bimet-
allism, but would vote for unconditional
repeal. ,
Mr. Johnson (Rep., N. D.) spoke for sil-
ver. ,
Mr..:gPickler (Rep, S. D.) asked unani-
mousconsent to change the existing order
so as to take a vote Monday on an amend-
ment confining the free coinage to the
American product. This was objected to
by Mr. Wilson. in charge of the adminis-
tration bill. Mr. Pickler then tried to ar-
range for a vote'on the American product
free] coinage propositionlafter the W'ilson
bill had been passed, but again objection
was made. He then proceeded to criticise
President Cleveland as being under Eng-
lish influence.
Mr. Lucas (Rep, S. D.) and Mr. Hart:
man (Rep.,_Mon.) spoke for free coinage,
the latter intimating that his people would
not remain protectionists if the party
failed to observe the bimetallic plank.
Mr. Bartholdt (Rep, Mo.) declared for
repeal and the extension of bank circula-
tion. 4 "
Mr. Honk (Dem., 0.) spoke for uncondi-
tional repeal, and Mr. Heard (Dem, Mo.)
against the Wilson bill, holding that the
peOple were entitled to something more.
wo’r‘d'of the‘p'fesfuent‘s message and ”atom
to cast his vote for-repeal.
Mr. Dingley (Ma) advocated the repeal
of the purchasing clause. He had voted
for the Sherman bill only becauseitcon-
ta‘ined restrictions that would postpone
the evil day. 3 3
Mr. Wilson (Rep, 0.), although 'adn’iit-
ting the difliculty of doing so, was in
favor of the government continuing the
double standard of value.
In the Senate...
The vice president. announced in the sen-
ate the appointment Of the committee on
the commemoration of the hundredth an-
niversary of the laying of the cornerstone
of. the capitol as follows: Senators Voor-
bees (Dem., hid), _ Sherman (Rep, 0.),
Ransom (Dem‘., N. 0.), Chandler (Rep, N.
H.), White (Dem. Cal.), Squire (Rep,
Wash.) and Martin (Pop, Kan). .
The house joint resolution zmak'ing the
act ,of May '14, 1890, as to town sites appli-
cable to the Cherokee outlet, was reported
back from the committee on public-lands,
with an amendment requiring the trustees
who are to be appointed to be residents of
the territory of Oklahoma at the time of
their appointment, and an effort was made
by Mr. Berry (Dem.. Ark.) to have it passed,
but objection was made by Mr. Manderson
(Rep, Neb.), and the bill was placed on the
calendar. _
The question of precedence between Sen-
ators Stewart (Rep, Nev.) and Pefler (Pop,
Kan.) as to which was entitled to the “floor
was decided in favor of Mr. Stewart, who
then offered to yield his right if Mr. Peder
desired particularly to address the senate:
Mr. Péfier declined the offer, but said that
he would be very much pleased if he could
proceed now. ,
The vice president, however, took Mr.
Stewart at his word and recognized Mr.
Peder, who thereupon proceeded to address
the senate on the silver question. He re-
quested that he should have a patient and
attentive hearing, such as he had given
the other senators, as he represented at
least 1.50).,” voters who believed just.”
he did.
He criticised some of the president’s state-
ments in the messageto congress for the
purpose of showing, he said, that the trou-
ble had not been caused [bylany want of
confidence on the part of the people, but
that it had been caused by practical tree--
son on the part of a clan which he hoped
would be relieved from the responsibility
of stealing from the people.
Alluding to the suggestion made by the
protectionists that fear as to the changes
in the tariff had much to do with the
financial panic, he asked what fears had
the farmers, mechanics or clerks of the
country ‘Ithat manufacturing establish
ments were in danger from the present ad-
ministration. _
Mr. Hawley (Rep, Conn.) suggested the
case of a manufacturing town where pro-
jected new constructions were stopped by
a fear of ltariff changes and asked whether
the mechanics of such a» town who had
expected to get work were not interested
inthe matter.
'Mr‘. Peder replied that whenever a man-
ufacturing establishment really closed be-
cause of the fear 4:, any tampering with
the tarlfi he would answer the senator’s
question. He did not believe that there
was one such case in a thousand. He had
no doubt that there were a great many
cases where men did not proceed with pro-
jected enterprises because they feared that
they would not receive the protection now
afforded them. -
g But he insisted that now and for the last
half dozen years the failures of manufac-
turing establishments did not come from
any prospective tariff policy, .but from
want of orders.
The people had not money to buy goods,
and orders were slackened. His own con-
stituents were selling their wheat at 25 to
' 30 cents a bushel, corn at no more than it
cost to produce it, horses at one-fourth
‘of their value and cattle at two-thirds of
their value. They were unable to buy
goods from the merchants, and the mer-
chants did not order goods from the man-
ufacturers. That was the trouble. The
Democratic party, however, dared not to-
day to establish free trade. All the power
of Christendom would be brought to bear
to prevent it.
The House Banking Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—For 2% hours
today the house committee on banking
and currency discussed Representative
Johnson’s bill providing for the exchange
of treasury notes for government bonds at
the request of the latter. The committee
then adjourned until next Tuesday. when
the author of the bill hopes that decisive
action may be taken upon it.
.The bill encountered the opposition of
Messrs: Sperry of Connecticut and Warner
-of New York, who argued that the scheme
opened a new channel for the depletion of
the gold holdings of the treasury. They
said that,“ tbs bill became a law..holders
of bonds would exchange them for tress:
ury notes and then demand gold for the
notes. 1 . '
To this Mr. JohnsOp responded that the
{only occasion that :iwcul'd induce holders
of bouds,themselves_ redeemable in gold .
and commanding a premium, to exchange
them for currency of any kind would be
just such an emergency as is now upon the
nation, when there is a currency famine.
Notes are much more convenient, safe and
economical to handle, and serving every
desired purpose better than gold it was a
farfetched objection that gold would be de-
manded for them.
Mr.};,.Brosius (Pa) had a substitute for
Mr. Johnson’s bill, which he had presented
for the consideration of the committee.
It proposes to authorize the secretary of
the treasury to issue notes in exchange for
gold coin. ' '_ '
To this Mr. Johnson said he had be ob
jection as Ian independent measure, ,but it
didnot, in his opinion, meet the case. Peo-
ple‘who have gold do not have to send to
Washington for notes in order to pay their
debts. The gold itself will do that. But
people who hold bonds, especially if they
are of large denominations, cannot. with
them discharge their obligations. Further,
Mr. Johnson believed there was already
sufficient warrant of law for the exchange
of notes for gold. ,
Mr. Johnson’s bill was advocated by
Messrs. Walker,“ Hall (Mo.) and Springer,
while Mr. Cox favored it' with the substi-
tution of some other form of note than
treasury notes. Messrs, Sperry and Warner
supported the substitute proposed by Mr.
Brosius.

At Asbury Park the Damage wrn Amount
to Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars. '
Telegraph 'Wires Down and. ,.
the Service Crippled. I
cyclone which swept over this part of the i
left its marks over the whole region around
New York, with. a sweep of fully 1,000
miles. .
Superintendent Humstone of the \Vest-
ern Union Telegraph company said that
the company’s wires to the east and south
had been torn down by the storm and that
the telegraph service was crippled to a
greater extent than it has been in years be-
fore. He said it was impossible to state
the exact extent of the damage. He said
that his impression was that the damage
was mostly done within a radius of 50
miles of? this city. ' '
The rainfall last night in this city was
the heaviest in the history of the weather
bureau, according to Weather Observer
DunnJJi‘here were nearly four inches of
rainfall on the record for Sept. 22 and 23,
1882, but last night’s rainfall exceeded
that. being over four inches. All the cel-
lars along the East river were flooded. The
cellars and basements along the North
river were also flooded, and great damage
to property will result.
~ Damage on the Sound.
The effects of last night’s storm in the
city parks was quite noticeable today. At
Union square a force of men were put to
work clearing up the wreckage of the
numerous trees that had been stripped of
their branches and clipping others that
showed signs of breaking. At Central
park numerous trees were blown dowu,
and the shrubbery and fine plants were
considerably damaged.
The effects of the storm at the various
yacht club anchorages along ;the sound
were tremeulous. The excessively heavy
winds on the shore drove the small boats
together, and in many instances great
damage was done ambug the frail craft by
collision. Act Larchmont harbor a big
schooner went mhore early in the morning
during the hdght of the storni, on the
rocks at Shepherd’s point.’ Her crew of
seven men remained on her at work at the
pumps, but with the falling of the tide
she was left high and dry and M11 inevita-
bly go to pieces.
All along the sound shore, from Indian
harbor at Greenwich to Port Morris, the
devastation of the storm was apparent in
the destroyed piers, the flooded meadow
lands and the shore houses, whose first
floors were in most instances on a level
‘ with the water.
1 Brooklyn Damaged. .'
BROOKLYN, Aug. 25.—The cyclone which
set in last night lasted until about 7
o’clock this morning. The fury of the
stOrm was at its greatest height in the
early hours of the morning. The rain beat
down in the streets with a penetrating
force, and the violent wind had made mat-
ters worse. The loss is mainly in the die
figuration of the fine streets of this city by
the destruction of shade trees, probably
1,000 of them being blown down. Several
roots in the city limits were taken Off by
the force of the wind, paving stones being
ripped up by the uprooting of the trees. The
cellars in every section of the city sufiered
from the flood.
A Railroad Washout.
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., Aug. ll25.--’1‘he
heavy rains caused washouts here that
.have blocked all west bound trains on the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. The worst one is near the Fulton
avenue bridge in this city, where 100 feet
of the railroad embankment has been ,.
washed away. A freight train from New
Rochelle ran into the washout at Fulton
avenue and was completely wrecked. - Sixv
cars loaded with lumber, coal and mer-
chandise were piled on top of each other in
the midst of the washout. Fortunately no
one was injured, but how the traiumen es-'
a miracle.
Elizabeth suffered.
ELIZABETH, N. J.. Aug. 25.—The storm
was very severe in this vicinity. After
midnight the wind blew with great force,
uprooting trees in all parts of the city and
blocking travel in many streets. The '
Staten Island sound and Elizabeth river
are higher than they have been in several
years. The waters swept over the wharves,
and at Elizabethport inundated the
.‘ streets.

Electric, telephone and

Asbury Park \Vrecked.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., Aug. 25. -The
storm along the Jersey coast is the most
terrible that has ever been known. The
‘ waves have done hundreds of thousands of
dollars damage. At Asbury Park the
greatest destruction is recorded. There
Founder Bradley’s famous board walkis
almost a complete wreck. Great gaps have
been cut in it every few hundred 'feet. Ev-
ery one of the large and small pavilions

In‘Which lNearly All the Nations of

Fair Grounds Crowded.
WORLD’S FAIR GROUNDS, Aug. 25.-—Paid
attendance at the fair yesterday, 150,000.
, ,Mam, the bloody god of war, was in the
ascendant at the White City in Jackson
parktoday. :,It was Illinois day, and war-
riors ' from almost every nation on the
earth, equipped with instruments of death
and destructiOn, were there, and they pa-
raded through the beautiful thorough-
fares to the time" of patriotic tunes played
by scores of martial bands. Hundreds of
thousands of people were assembled here
from every clime to witness the parade
and other wonderful events of the day.
From each of the gate .the multitudes
poured into, the grounds lik a mighty
stream through a breach in a dam and
scattered out Over the broad expanse until
the groundswere almost black with pea.
pie; The visitors began to come as soon
as the gates were Opened. The excursion
boats, the steam, cars, the, elevated road
and the surface cars Were so packed with
people that even the proverbial sardine
would have. found it uncomfortably
crowded in almost any of the cars running
to the fair from 8 o’clock in the morning
‘ until long after noon.
,ANovel Parade.
The day’s" entertainment began with a
parade of the Illinois national guard,
5,000 strong, leading the way for the sav-
ages and barbarians “of the Midway plai-
sance. The statomilitia marched into the
Midway plaisa‘nce from the west entrance
and passed down the wonderful thorough-
fare in company front order to the main
grounds of the White City, and as they
moved by the natives of each village fell
in behind. ' -
. First came the Bedouins riding camels
and high spirited Arabian horses. They
were allowed nearlyra thousand feet of
space, and as the parade moved along'
those mounted on, herses rode back and
forth at. full gallop, with their snow white
robes fluttering in the breeze, whirling
their long spears about and displaying
wonderful feats of horsemauship.
After the ' Bedouins came the Lapland.
ore from the. frigid zones, with their rein-
deer, and their came the cannibals of Da-
homey. They were" the most viciousand
ferocious looking warriors in the parade.
They were attired as if going out to but
tle. The king, a huge black fellow in fan-
tastic attire, wasin the.:~lead. On his head
was a sort of helmet surmounted with a.
pair of ram’s horns. -'--He carried a great
warclub, which he figurished round as ,he
pranced about shouting in a savage frenzy
while his followers,sang a wild war song
and beat tomtomsiand acted like demOns.
~- Hanging dowii the front of the cannibal l
— ': king’s 'bre‘ast was a peculiar looking pro-
tector made of polished human bones,_and
around his neck was an ornament of hu~
man teeth. - “ .1
The Chinese, with an awful looking drag-
on 60 feet long, came , next... It was made
of rice paper on a bamboo frame j and car-
ried by 20 Mongolians.
moved along in a. wonderfully lifelike
manner. Strangely attired musicians
playing on instruments no less strange ac«
companied the dragon, 'and the music, if
such it can be called, was ear splitting in
the extreme. ’ . . . .3 ’ ,_ .
A Grotesque Assemblage.
A band of savage SiOux ', from the wilds
of the west, in war p‘aint'and feathers, fol-
lowed the Chinesc, and after them came the
South Sea islanders. 7, Then in turn came
the Hawaiians, the Persians, the Egyp-
tians with their camels and'donkeys, the
Turks, the Moors, the Swiss~horn-blowers,
Hagenbeck’s films, the natives of J chore,
the Algerians and the inhabitants of the
Irish and German_vill,ages.. ,‘In the main
grounds they were joined by the Italian
marines, the British soldiers-and the West
Point cadets. . :1
It was a strangely wonderful sight, and
it is doubtful. if its like hasever been witv
nessed in the world before,’o_r" if any One
who saw it will ever see its like again.
There were soldiers“ armed with the most
modern implements of death and warriors
with crude bludg'eons, spears and bows
and arrows parading peacefully together.
It is doubtful if anOther such assemblage
of races has been seen since the confusion
of tongues at the tower of Babel.
The parade was led by Governor Altgeld
and his staff until it reaChed’the Illinois

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.
. rover Stricken Brunswick Sadly In Need
of Immediate Supplies of
Money and Provisions.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 25.—-One new case of
yellow fever at Brunswick, Ga, was om:
olally reported yesterday—an infant of
Mrs. Cox. There are no other suspicions
cases. Harris,‘the second yellow fever par
tient, died early this morning. The deserd
tion of the town by the eniploying class,
the closing of stores, factories, etc., works
extreme hardship upon the laboring class.
Many families are left destitute.
The following message has been sent to
Washington, addressed to Senators Gor-
don and Colquitt, Speaker Crisp, H. G.
Turner and all of the members of the
Georgia delegation. The message is signed
by Mayor Lamb and the‘memb'ers of the
relief committee:
The situation here is distressing. We areshut
off from the entire outside world. Starvation
stares the poor people in the face. The lefuc
gees. ordinarily the breadwinners with their
families, have left the city without means.
About 4.030 people left in the city are unable to
procure supplies. There is immediate need of
provisions and money. Time is an important
element. uWe appeal in behalf .of a stricken
people for immediate aid. and confidently rely
upon the heart of a great American people and
the government to respond.
Afraid of the Refugees.
COLUMBUS, Ga... Aug. 25.-The city is
filled with refugees from Brunswick, and
a. serious disagreement has occurred be-
tween the board of health and the city
council. On Tuesday, immediately after
the announcement that another _ of
yellow fever had appeared in Bruns, ick,
the board of health met and recomm"tnded
that quarantine be established. At a meet-
ing of the council held later it was decided
that 99w was no necessity for quarantine.
Last night the board of health met, and
four of six members decided to tender their
resignations at once. The four are leading
physicians of this city and are indignant
at the manner in which their recommends-s
tion was treated. They considered, that it
was prudent to quarantine. If fever should
occur among refugees here, the responsi-
bility will rest upon the council.
