J THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. The Only Paper Belween Galveston, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, that Publishes the Full Dispatches of the Associated Press. VOL. I. PHOENIX. THURSDAY jVEORNING-. JULY 10, 1890. NO. 53 FIG1ITINGF0R SILVER The Senato Has a Lively Debate on the Now Bill. DISPOSITION TO FIGHT IT OUT. An Exceedingly Interesting Debate on the Conference Measure, Which lle- . publican Seem Inclined to Accept. By the Associated Press.) Washington, July 0. Presiding Offi cer Ingsxlls announced his signature to the. bill admitting Wyoming. Tho bill now goes to the President for signature. The sundry civil appropriation bill was reported. Allison stated that ho Mould ask its consideration tomorrow. Consideration of the conference roport on tho silver bill was resumed. Cockrell continued his argument against the report. Ho criticised the last clauso of the second section of tho confereuco bill, and said tho language there indicated a piefcrenco for a single gold standard. The section reads so that it Mould be interpreted until tbo parity between tho motala is estab lisheed that gold would be givon a pref orone, and legal tender notes be redeem ed in gold. Teller controverted this assertion. Mr. Jones of Arkansas, read an ex tract from an article in yesterday's New YorkA'tiiny Pott, a paper opposed, ho said, to silver legislation in all its forms, to the effect that the report con tained some features not embraced in either Houses bill or Seiiato bill and tending to make it a better measure tliuu either. It also stated that the purpose of silver men was "foiled." .Mr. Cockrell: "Precisely what I have said. That articlo is from a very able representative of tho gold interest and it is a warning to the Senator from Nevada (Jones) that ho has abandoned the cause of the equalization of silver with gold. 'Under this conference re port tho secretary of the treasury can drive the country to part with every dollar of gold and can lock up in tho vaults of the treas ury every silver dollar. That is tho most dangerous power ever given a Secretary of the Treasury since tho foundation of the government. Piatt: "Does tho Senator mean to say ho would not give tho Secretary of the Treasury discretion as to which coin he Mould pay in?" Mr. Cockrell: I certainly would give him that discretion. I Mould say, ''He deemablo in coin." Mr. Piatt : That is all that there is to sav. .Sir. Cockrell : That is truo, but there is within it a declaration which is the fatal thing and that is that the gold standard still exists and must bo main tained. Taking up the third section of the conference bill, Mr. Cockrell entered a "most earnest and solemn, protest against it," as meaning a practical ces sation of silver coinago after July 1st. Mr. Jones, Novada: That is all Me want. Mr. Cockrell: In other words, the Senator from Nevada Is willing to aban don the doublo standard to make silver a mere commodity, to stop its coinage, and to tell the peoplo Of tho country that ho has done something for the restora tion of the doublo standard. The con ference bill is a total abandonment of all pretensions to the double standard. Mr. Mitchell, in the course of some questions involving Mr. Cockrell's con sistency, remarked that while bo was in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver ho would support the conference bill, becaiiBO it was all that tho friends of silver could get. Mr. Ccckrell: I believe that if tho Senate will reject this report tho IIouso m ill in tho end agreo to the Senato bill. We have made no determined effort to support the Senato bill. Wo shov no backbone. Wo show no dispoBitio to stand by what mo have solemnly dotio and wo give truth to tho assertion of tho monomctalllsts of the .East that the bill was only a project to furnish a market for silver bullion. Mr. Daniel addressed the Senato in opposition to tho Bilver bill. The ques tion, he said, was a great deal bigger than tho President of these States, whether tho President's name be Harri son or Cleveland. Mr. Daniel argued that under the conference .,1)111 $70,000,000 m orth ot bilver bullion would bo plied up in the treasury every year thai the silver stream would bo (lowing and not a dol lar of it could be coined to pay tho bonds or other obligations of the United States which were payable in coin. Such an enormous discrimination against silver as that had never existed in the legisla tion of this country, except when silver as completely demonetized. Ho ad mitted that it Mould bo bet ter that tho conference bill should Income a law than that no hill on the subject should becomo a law, but it was a inero make-shift. Sooner or later, Mr. Daniel said, Con gress and tho Executive had got to como into collision on the silver question. Why not let tho collision come now? If the friends of silver stood up to the fight, they could win it, and if they ran away they would lose It. If they belloved in the frco coinago of silver, (as he did) they should stand by the Senato bill and let the President of tho United States take caro of himself. Mr. Murrain took tho floor, but saw he could not finish his remarks today ami stopicd. An informal understanding M-aa had that a voto should bo taken tomorrow and tho Senate adjourned. In the House. Wahiunu rox, July 7. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, from tho Committee on Foreign Aflairs, reported back a resolution re questing President Harrison to furnish tho House with tho correspondence be tween tho government of tho United States and Great Britain, touching tho various subjects in dispute in Bchring sea since March 14, 1890. After a brief dobtite, Mr. Hitt's reso lution Mai adoptcdt Mr. Hitt presented the conference re port oh the diplomatic and consular ap propriation bill. In the course of discussion, reference having been mado to tho appropriation mado by tho last bill for tho protection of United States rights in Samoa, Mr. -McMillan, of Tennessee, de flared it now appeared that the cntiro result of tho Samoan negotiations had been to enthrono a king who had been dethroned by his people. Our rep resentatives' sent abroad for tho pur pose of settling tho Samoan matters had actually gone to tho oxtent of over-riding tho Mill of the peoplo of Samoa and setting up as a king a scapegrace who had been dethroned and .moreover this American administration had under taken to pay a part of the ex penses of his kingdom, IF was a disgrace to the American people and a disgrace to this administration, which is responsible for tho negotia tions. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, who was chairman of the committee of foreign affairs last Congress, said he believed we had done the best that could be done and that Mr. McMillan was putting it too strongly. If ho was not satisilcd withthe negotiations he could introd uce a bill to carry out his views or he could call for the correspondence with tho foreign nations. Thcro was not a word about Samoa in the present bill, Mr. McMillan: Tho gentleman has admitted taking up a deposed King and placing him on tho throne wa not anothor agreement that the Chief Jus tice should be appointed and the gov ernments of tho United States and Great Britain and Uermany jointly, guarantee his salary. McCreary: Tho gentleman states it too strongly. The Samoan question has nothing to. do with this appropriation bill. Mr. Hitt then demanded the previous question, declining to yield to Mr. .McMillan, who mos desirous of continu ing tho Samoan controversy. Thero upon.Mr. McMillan raised tho point of no quorum, pending which Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, moved that tho House should adjourn. Yeas, 70; nays, OS. Tho previous question was ordered: Yeas, 103; nays, 71, a quorum being present. Then Mr. McMillan moved tho recon sideration of the voto on tho tabling of tho motion to reconsider, which resulted, yeas, 104 ; nays, 50, the speaker count ing a quorum and declaring the motion carried. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, chal lenged tho correctness of tho count, in stancing tho names of Messrs. Enloc. Herbert, Grain and Fithian, and stating that they were not present. Subsequently he withdrew tho challenge to the names of Grain and Fithian, bnt persevered for Knloo and Herbert. Tho Speaker admitted the necessity for ab solute correctness in the record of those mcmlers present and voting, and stated that even ly eliminating the names of Enloe and Herbert there was a quorum present. He therefore declared the mo tion to table carried and put the ques tion on agreeing to the conference re port. 'The voti resumed, resulting: Yeas, 111 ; nays, 33, and the Speaker M'as un able to count a quorum, so the confer ence report is not agreed to for tho pre sent. Adjourned. THE D1STIHCT COURT. TIIR CHINESE MUST IIB HACK TO CHINA. 8KNT Argument In Hie Cane of llryan vs. llraslus and llryan vs. 1'lnuey The Water Hull Set fur Today. In tho District Court yesterday morn ing Judge Kibboy made an order in tho habeas corpus case of Horn Ah Fong, sustaining tho order of Court Commis sioner Hughes, remanding the prisoner to tho United States Marshal for ship ment to China. The point upon which tho order was made Mas that Inasmuch as the Chinese are aliens, unlawfully in this country, they have no Tight to tho privilege of a writ of habeas corpus. This view of tho case was sustained by the Court and the writ vacated. Judgo Barnes, counsel for prisoner, then made an implication for a writ of certiorari, but this, too, was denied by Judgo Kibbey, upon the same ground. This shut oir the Chinaman's case en tirely, and ho, in company with tho twenty-three others, will start tomorrow for San Francisco, where they will bo put upon tho first Pacific Mail steamer for China. Argument was then had upon the suit of Bryan vs. Brasius, et al. The caso was submitted to the Court and taken under advisement. , Briefly, tho facts in the matter were established to bo as follows : Three years ago tho widow,, of J. M. Bryan (familiarly known as Creed Bryan) conveyed to her husband'8 brother, Tom Bryan, for tho considera tion of f 1, certain property embracing what is now known as Central Place, on the northern Iwrder of Phtenlx, said property being alleged worth $100,000 at tho time of the conveyance. Tho property Mas then occupied by parties who hail purchased tho Bamo at a sher iff's sale, under foreclosure of mortgago. Tho case of the plaintiff is that the debts of J. M. Bryan are barred by tho statute of limitations and that they therefore can take the property without paying tho debts, claiming tho same with all the improvements placed thcro on by tho purchasers. Tho equity caso of Bryan vb. Pinney et al. followed and was argued, a stipu lation being made upon the statement of facts, this suit being on tho same lines of its predecessor. This, when submitted, will end the land suits, the others being dependent upon" tho judg ments given. Arguments Mill close this morning. The next and almost the last case of tho calendar is tho water suit of Worm scrict nl. vs. Arizona Canal et al. This will no doubt occupy the attention of tho Court for several days. The Homo mine-jumping caso is set for July lUth. A FUOITIVE CASHIER. He I Found Clerking on a I'uget Hound Steamer. Skattlk, July 9. L. II.

When it came, her stage diamonds, made of the purest pase, were scattered about on the table, among them being a large cross, heavily set with sparkling diamonds. It caught the eye of the waiter who brought up tne tray, and by .a little juggling with his napkin he secured it. He rushed down town as soon as possible to, in vulgar parlance, "hock" it. but found that he could raise bul fifty cents on it. He was a "smooth guy." so he hastened back to the. hotel. only to find that the lady had departed lor the matinee performance. To the theater he went, and, securing admission at the stage entrance on "pressing business from Miss , hotel," be found the lady and restored to her the diamond cross, which, he plausibly set forth, had become entangled in a napkin.

No question of negro supremacy, no usurpation Of Federal power is involved in the bill which recently passed the House. It deals only with national elections. The States are properly left to workout their own destinies, through their own agen cies. Why, then, should the bill not become a law? The House, faithful and active in the fulflillment of its party pledges, zealous in the performance of a great public trust and undaunted by dialxlical threats and assaults of the Democratic party, promptly performed its duty by the passage of the Trill. Now itonly remains for the Republican major ity in the Senate to emulate tho House and permit the President, by his signa ture, to ratify and register the will of the nation. Will the Senate promptly Vjerform this imperative obligation? The committee ia in possession of information showing a concentrated effort on the part of the Democratic party to change the trendy fit public thought by poisoning the minds of the people to the end that sentiment may be manufactured that Mould deter Con gress from passing a National elec tion law at this session. It is believed that a favorable expression of opinion at this juncture from the Re publican press all along the line Mould bo as forcible as it would bo timely and Mould exert a wholesome influence and inspire the legislators to carry out the party's pledge. Will you not do your duty in urging that the Senate shall respond promptly by the passage of the measure which the House deems absolutely es sential to the purity of the election of its own members?"
