LOS ANGELES: MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, 1893.
JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.
The Fate of Silver in the
Balance.
Probable Passage of the Wilson
Bill.
The Senate to Insist Upon Its Own
Measure.
Tho Friends of Silver Flaoe Their Hopes
Upon tho Action of the Upper
■oase—lt Will Heron,mend
Free Silver Coinage.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Ang. 27.—The financial
debate has closed, and tbe line oi battle
is now being sharply drawn for tbe de
cisive contest that takes place in the
bouse tomorrow. The leaders of both
sides bare exerted every effort to have
their men all here, and it is expected
tbe first roll-call will find almost every
member of the honse present and voting.
The result of tbe successive roll-calls to
morrow is no longer a matter of doubt
to any one familiar with the sitnation.
The free coinage bill to be offered by
Bland, as a substitute for the repealing
bill of Wilson, will be defeated. The
exact vote is uncertain, as the fealty of
certain members to the measure depends
mnoh on the ratio tbat receives the
largest support in the house. Tbere
seems to be no doubt tbat instead of the
highest ratio, 20 to 1, being the most
popular, the old ratio of 16 to 1 will re
ceive the greatest vote and will be tbe
only one seriously considered. Bnt
whatever may be tbe result of tbe vote
on tbe separate ratios, the Bland bill
will be rejected as a substitute for the
Wilson bill, and the majority for rejec
tion will not be less than 40. After the
rejection of the Bland bill, and when
the question resolves itself to the simple
one of the repeal of the purchasing act
of the Sherman law, the Wilson bill will
be passed by a majority of not less than
60. Immediately after the passage of
the Wilson bill it will be reported to tbe
senate, and if the usual course ia pursued
it will be referred to the committee on
finance of tbat body.
THE senate's action.
It is expected tbat tbe policy of the
Senate will be to let tbe bill slumber
tbere, while all the efforts of the npper
r b.ui«.cr »io trrrfcwu tv mcailng ttio
adoption of tbe repealing bill now pend
wa i« that body. The reason this .re
pealing bill reported by the senate com
mittee on finance is believed to be supe
rior to the honse bill is because it con
tains the declaration, originated by
Senator Hill, pledging the government
to tbe policy of bimetallism, and as no
snch declaration is explicitly made in
the Wilson bill, the programme will be
to pass the senate bill and send it to the
bouse for the concurrence of tbe latter
body. Of course, the effect of this will
be to revive the whole question in the
honse, bnt it is not thought any consid
erable time will be consumed by the
house in passing upon the question the
eecond time.
FUTURE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in as to tbe next step to bejtaken
in financial legislation after the passage
of the bill repealing the Sherman law.
Tbe committee on coinage, under the
leadership of Chairman Bland, will, it
ia expected, report a free cuinage bill in
due time, and Chairman Springer's com
mittee on banking and currency is ex
pected to present several relief measures
to tbe house.
Congressman McCreary of Kentucky,
one of the delegates on the part of the
United States to the recent interna
tional monetary conference at Brussels,
has prepared a joint resolution for
introduction in tbe house next week.
The resolution provides for the appoint
ment of a commission of three senators,
an equal number of representatives,
with three experts to be selected by tbe
president, wbo shall inquire into the
whole financial question in its broadest
phases, not as to bimetallism alone, bnt
also as to reorganization of the banking
system. The means of promoting inter
national bimetallism will also be a sub
ject for tbe commission to consider. It
is provided that the report of the com
mission shall be made to the senate and
house not later than January 1,1894.
AGAINST WILDCAT MONEY.
Congressman Springer Will Oppose the
llepeal of the 10 Per Cent Tax.
Washington, Aug. 27.—With refer
ence to the report that the committee
on banking and currency may take up
tbe question of repealing the 10 per cent
tax on the circulation of state banks,
Chairman Springer is quoted as saying:
"I do not believe the committee will re
port a bill in favor of tbe repeal of the
tax on state banks. Ido not believe in
going back to the days of the old bank
ing system. I favor stable currency,
good alike in all states. Any other cur
rency is an obstruction to buainess, and
I shall oppose it."

wrecking waa made on the coast division

obstruction would have served to wreck
any train running at an ordinary rate of

made great loss of life would have been
the result.

London, Aug. 27.—The Times, in the
conree of a long leader on the dismal
agricnltural prospects of Great Britain,
says that foreign competition depresses
prices of cattle and corn. The imports
of animals and meat, it says, will swamp
the markets this year. Great Britain
will be more than ever dependent on
foreign supplies, and will require at
least 280,000,000 quarters of wheat from
abroad. France must import more than
twice as much as she usually does.
Germany has already begun to draw on

Word of tbe wreck was not received
here for hours after it occurred and
when the relief train with physicians
reached there, it found an appalling
etate of affairs. The Rockaway beach
train had crashed into the rear end of
the Manhattan beach train, ploughed its
way completely through the two rear
cars, and partly wrecked the third. Tbe
passengers in tbe three cara were
maimed an mangled horribly, and tbeir
shrieks of terror and pain were awful,
A GHASTLY SCENE.
The Rockaway engine waa wrecked.
Tbe boiler resembled a pincushion,
from the timbers of the wreck Bticking
into it. Upon these timbers were
human beings impaled. Some were
dead bodies! and others were gasping
their last. <The doad and wounded were
massed among the wreckage besides,
upon and beyond the tracks. Every
thing was Bpatcered with blood. As
fast aa tbe wounded could be taken
from the wreck they were carried to tbe
relief train and cared for. The adjoin
ing building wae turned into a hospi
tal, and every possible effort was made
to alleviate the sufferings of tbe unfor
tunate people.
None of tbe passengers or crew on the
Rockaway Beacb train were seriously
hurt.
AN EYE WITNESS'S STORY.
An eye-witnese of the accident says
the Rockaway Beach train waa going at
top speed, as if, it being the last train,
the engineer was trying to get home as
soon as possible. At the scene wreck
ing trains and a big force of railroad
employees have worked all day to ob
literate the ghastly evidence of the dis
aster.
General Manager Reynolds stated that
the cause of the accident was still un
known. It was a question of veracity
between Tower Switchman Nutt and
Engineer Concrite of the Rockaway
train. The latter reported that a heavy
fog prevailed at the time; that the sig
nalß were set for safety, indicating a
clear road, and that be went ahead at
high speed. As soon as he discovered
the road lights of the other train he re
versed his engine and put on the
breaks. Then he and the fireman
jumped. Nutt insists that tbe Bignals
were Bet at danger.
Mre. Theodore Graven, who was
seriously injured, died thia afternoon,
making the dead 15. All the bodies are
now identified.
