MR. FAULRNER 8 Pill
Many Think _.That It Will Prove a
Satisfactory Compromise.
WHAT ITS EFFECT WOULD BE
Voorhees Is Said to Be Firm, but “’11)
Wait Before Forcing Matters—Tho
Federal Election Bill In the House.
Senators Talking Silver.
l;- 3,
'WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Mr. Faulkner
today Ofiered in the senate his amendment
to the pending financial bill, to which he
referred the other day in his speech. The
fact that this amendment is looked upon in
some Quarter-s as the possible solution Oi
the present difficulty will, it is thought,
tend to loosen the tension of the contend.
ingforces somewhat and-create a feeling.
of friendliness that is supposed to precede
reconciliation and cOmpromise.
Mr. Faulkner‘s amendment withdraws
from circulation all notes save the legal
tender greenbacks of denominations less.
than $10 and substitutes in their stead sil-
ver common coin, so that there can be no
expansion. of the currency except as pro
, vided in the further sections of his amend-
ment. He believes that by the withdrawal
of these notes silver dollars and$5 and $2.50
goldpieces' will circulate alongside of each
other in the ordinary course of trade.
He will provide for the coinage of silver
up to an aggregate of $800,000,000, and when
that amount is reached the coinage of sil-
ver will cease absolutely. The present ag-
gregate of silver coin, including subsidiary
coin, amounts to $615,000,000, so that the
increase under the amendment will be
$185,000,000. It will be provided, first, that
no more purchases of silver bullion shall
be made until the seiguiorage and bullion
now in the treasury, amounting to $53,000,.
000, have been coined.
This is to be done at'the rate of $3,000,006
3. month, and at this rate it will take more
than three years to coin the seigniorage and
bullion now in the treasury, the estimate
being made, of course, on the coinage value
of the bullion. When that period has
elapsed, the secretary is directed to buy sil—
ver and coin itoat the same rate until the
limit designated shall have been reached.
Mr. Faulkner computes that to accomplish
this will take about seven years.
According to the present programme, it
is understood that after this amendment is
introduced President Cleveland will he
waited on by a number of senators who
will represent the conservative element
and will ask him to favor this as a com-
promise.
Says Voorhees Is Firm.
The correspondent of the New York Even-
ing Post, a strong repeal journal, has sent
the following to his paper:
“Any one who supposes, because Senator
Voorhees endeavored to put his request for
a. 10 days’ limit to the senate silver debate
in a courteous form, that he is weakening
in the least, or that any of the friends of re-
peal are-proposing to surrender by degrees.
is m ing a serious mistake. .
“ e repeal contingent in the senate was
never stronger or more confident than now.
The senate is a body which has got used to
a calm and quiet way of doing things. but
it does them just the same. The repealers,
if the vote were taken tomorrow, could un-
, doubtedly show a majority of from com
I
25. It is absurd to suppose that this ma-
jority will surrender to a minority simply
because it does not go at that minority
with hammer and tongs to force it into
compliance. .
“Until the resources of courtesy are ex-
hausted there is no disposition on the part
of any of the friends Of repeal to ride the
enemy down. When the other side shall
have shown that all appeals to its honesty,
its good faith and its willingness to recog-
nize majority rule are vain, it will be time
enough to resort to other measures.”
Routine Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—The struggle
over the federal election repeal bill began
in the house with the Opening of the ses-
sion. The Republicans, under the lead of
Mr. Burrows: filibuster-ed to prevent the
reception of the report from the committee
on election Of president and vice president
in favor the Tucker bill.
On Mr. Burrows’ motion to dispense with
the call of committees for reports, the Re-
publicans refrained from voting, thus
breaking a quorum. The vote resulted-
yeas. 4; nays, 106. A call of the house was
then ordered. '
Although the call of the house disclosed
the presence of 221 members, it was evident
to the Democraticmembers that they could
not command a quorum today Without Re-
publican aid, and that aid would not be
tendered them. Therefore it is their pres-
ent intention to adopt a resolution to re-
voke all leaves of absence. _ . 4 - .
In.the senate today, after the offering of
Mr. Faulkner’s amendment to the repeal
bill proposing the coinage of $800,000,000 of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and a personal
explanation from Mr. Hawley (Rep. ,Conn.)
denying that he had been absent from the
senate chamber more than three days dur-
ing the present session, the repeal bill was
taken up, and Mr. Daniel (Dem., Va.) ad
dressed the senate in opposition to it.
Mr. Carlisle Has a. Tumor.
.WASHINGTOH, Sept. 15.—Secretary Car-
lisle has a swelling on his right arm which
prevents him from using that member and
which causes him much pain. Dr. Ford
Thompson has , the case in hand, and unless
the tumor yields to treatment and disap-
pears an" operation to remove it will be
performed. Dr. Thompson says it is not
at all serious, and the operation, if per
formed, need not keep the secretary away
from his Official duties a single day.

Charleston and Detroit 0i! For
the Scene of Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—-Secretary Gresh-
am has received the following cable from
Minister Thompson at Rio: : f
“At 11 this morning revolutionary forces
bombarded forts commanding entrance to
harbor, also arsenal ~on wharf, center of
city. A few shells were fired into the city,
and a woman ‘was killed in her residence.
Commercial telegrams have again beenfor-
hidden. Charleston has not yet arrived.”
The dispatch practically disposes of the
hope of the navy department that, this
cruiser Charleston had reached Rio, and it
is now believed that she went direct to
Montevideo without touching at any Bra-
zilian port. -.
Details of the Fighting. . ,
LONDON, Sept. iii—Advices received here
show that Admiral Mello, commanding
the rebel Brazilian fleet, carried out his
threat to bombard the forts guarding the
bay of Rio de J aneiro. The rebel warships,
including the cruisers Aquidaban, Repub-
lica and Trajano, took up positions before
the forts shortly before 9 O’clock yesterday
morning, and a little after that hour the
signal to fire was set and was promptly
obeyed. .
The first gun was fired from-the flagship
of the fleet, and its detonation had scarcely
died away before the shot was answered
from the fort at which it was directed.
The firing then became general, and the
noise of the bombardment was deafening.
From all the advices at hand, however,
it appears that little damage was done
either to the forts or to the warships. The
four 20 ton breechloading guns of the Aqui-
daban did not appear to be well handled,
and many Of their balls went wide of their
marks. Equally poor marksmanship was
displayed by the gunners in the forts. Con-
siderable excitement prevailed in the city
during the continuance of the actual hos-
tilities. -
At about 3 p. m., or after the bombard-
ment had lasted six hours, the signal
“cease firing” was displayed on the flag-
ship, and the rebel fleet withdrew. There
were a few casualties among the governr
ment troops. The loss to the rebels or the
damage to the fleet is unknown. Aside
from the bombardment, the situation at
Rio de J aneiro remains unchanged.
The Charleston at Montevideo. ,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—The navy, de-
partment received a telegram thisaftér-
noon reporting the arrival of the cruiSer
Charleston at Montevideo today. ,The
cruiser will proceed immediately to Rio de
J aneiro to protect American interests:

rAamAULT PLAN. "
nu Quebthn as to 'Its Failure Settled»
. Its Abandonment In Its
Birthplace.
FARIBAULT, Minn., Sept. 15. —The formal
announcement of the failure of the Fari-
bault school plan, which during the past
18 months has been discussed from Rome
to San Francisco, was made here when
Father Conroy appeared before the board
of education and said the Catholics could
not longer consent to the assignment of
two Protestant teachers to the Hill school.
which had been a Catholic school up to the
time of the union.
It is understood that the order came from
Archbishop Ireland, and that he had had a
request to take the action from Pope Leo.
As a result of this order all Protestant chil-
dren will be withdrawn from the Hill
school, and that institution will in the fu-
ture be conducted strictly as a parOchial
school.
The board of education annulled its lease
of the Hill school and took steps to lease
another building for the accommodation of
Protestant children.

SUIT ron $20,000,000.
Restitution of an Enormous Sum Demand-
ed From the Northern Pacific
Railroad Magnates.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Suit has been
brought in the supreme court against the
former Northern Pacific directors, Henry
Villard, Charles L. Colby, Colgate Hoyt
aiid Edwin H. Abbott, by John Swope of
Philadelphia, who in his complaint sets
forth in detail the grievances of a number
of the Philadelphia security holders.
The plaintiff is represented by William
F. Randall of this city, and Read & Pettit
of Philadelphia. The suit has been brought
in behalf of all stockholders who may join
and contribute to the expenses of the ac-
tion. Besides the directors named, the
Northern Pacific Railroad company, its re<
ceivers, and the Chicago and Northern Pa-
cific Railroad company are also made par-
ties defendent as a matter of form.
The complaint alleges that in Septem-
ber, 1889. the defendants—Villard, Ab-
bott, Colby and Hoyt—conveyed to the
Northern Pacific railroad, the Chicago
Great Western, the Bridgeport and South
Uncago, the Chicago, Harlem and Bata-
via, property at Fifth and Harrison streets
in Chicago, on which is now the Grand
Central station, and the Wisconsin Cen-
tral properties, receiving therefor 818,850,—
000 in bonds and $9,4%,000 in stocks of the
Northern Pacific.
As the properties were worth but $8,000,-
000, the complaint alleges, the] defendants
“conspired and agreed together to cheat
and defraud the Northern Pacific” out of
$20,275,000. The action is brought to com—
pel the defendants to account for' the dif-
ference between the value of the Chicago
properties and the amount of the bonds
and stocks which they received in excess of
their value.
ECHO OF THE CBONIN CASE.
Dan Coughlin, the ilk-Detective, Is Likely
to Escape Altogether.
. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.——Dan Coughlin, the
(ax-detective convicted of complicity in the
Cronin murder of 1889 and recently granted
a new trial by the supreme cOurt, may es
cape with no more than a sham legal battle
for the sake of legal technicality. Many
of the most important witnesses are dead
or next to impossible to locate. The evi-
dence against the other defendants cannot
be used against Coughlin. Some of‘this
indirect testimony had much to do with
weaving the web which finally landed
Coughlin in J oliet, and its absence may
assist him in escaping the legal penalty for
his alleged wrongdoing.
State’s Attorney Kern. Inspector Schaack
and Captain Schuettler were in conference,
going over the records of the case. The
outlook was not cncouragin g, and the three
officers were by no means confident of win.
ning. The case will be called for trial in a
week or ten days.
A M ISSING TREASURER.

SEATTLE, \Vash., Sept. 15.—It is an-

ENGLISH MEN NOT CON FIDEN'I‘.
Oven Lord Dunraven and Designer Wat-
son Think Vigilant Will Win.
LONDON, Sept. 15.—Since the result of
the trial races between the Vigilant, Co-
lonia, Jubilee and Pilgrim became known
in English yachting circles there is not,
that cocksureness of opinion that previous
ly prevailed that the Valkyrie would prove
herself a better boat than any of the four
American boats that might be selected to
defend the America’s cup from the British
challenger.
Even the most enthusiastic of the Eng-
lish supporters of keel boats are now in-
clined to concede that the centerboard type
has merits even in a stiff wind and a heavy
sea that previous to the last race won by
Vigilant they were not prepared to admit.
Even Lord Dunraven, the owner of the
Valkyrie, and Mr. \Vatson, her designer.
are not overconfident that the English cut-
ter will win the international races. 0n
the contrary, they both profess to believe
that the Valkyrie will not capture the cup
and say they expect to find that the Vig—
ilant is the better boat. ~
