Thoy were all replied to by Mr Coekrell who ex pressed his amazement and mortification at tho objections mado to hit proposition by tho friends or Ihe national hanks. Finally the bill and amendment went over until to-morrow. Mr. Perry I Dem.. Ark.) then addressod the Senate In favor of tho double standard or gold and silver. He said that tho repoal or the Sheruiun act, without other legislation, would, in his opinion, place the country upon a gold basis, would prevent the future coinage or any silver, and forever practically destroy silver nt money. Ho believed in tho double standard and was ot willing to cast his vote I for the gold standard ot money In this belief he was in full accord with all that I tho Democrat I: party had ever taught. He believed that President Cleveland was a manot the hlgeest and most patriotic pur pose, a man ot great ability, thoroughly hon est, and absolutely Tearless in the expression of his opinions. Mr. Cleveland had often de clared In favor of bimetallism, and he IMr. Berry) WM confident thnt. notwithstanding tho President's failure to discuss bimetallism In Ins message, he would approve any bill that repeale the t-herman law and provided fur the circulation of both gold and silver on such terms as would give them equal value. The Lodge resolution w.:s then tnken up. with the (lalllnger amendment to It. to the effect that it would be unwise nnd Inexpedient to make any radical change in tho tariff prior to March. 1HH7: and Mr. (lalllnger addressed I the Senate He declared himseli roady to vote, ! nt tho earliest possible moment, for the repeal or the Sherman net. though he did not believe that that much-abused law was .argely re sponsible for existing financial evils. He did not lav claim to special knowledgeor tho finan cial question, but trom oil he hod read and heard he was Irresistibly led to tho conclusion that one might as well attempt tocure bunions with sweetened water as to expoct that repeal of the purchasing clauses of the Sherman act would entirely remove the exist ing financial stringency. He believed thnt silver and the Shermnn act had infinitely less to do with business depression to-day than Iho anticipated onslaught of the party In power on the Mchinley tnrllT bill. His amendment gave the Democratic party opportunity escnro from Its own folly. It out off tariff leglslat on until 1SD7. when the llepubllcan party would again be In power, the only party In the coun trv thnt had shown a capacity to deal with great economio questions. ,.-.., in conclusion Mr. (lalllnger said: Let the bill permitting banks to increase their circu lation be enacted Into law. and let this resolu tion and amendment be adopted, and confi dence In our finances will be nt once restored, both at home and abroad : trade will brighten, and another era of prosperity, equol to the marvellous prosperity ol the Admlnlsi tinn ol President Harrison, will speedily come .0 the people ol the t'nlted States."

Immediately alter the roadlng or the journal In the llouso. Mr. Melklejohn lltep.. Neb. I asked unanimous consent lor tho considera tion ol a resolution requesting the Secretary ol Ihe Treasury to rurnlsh tho following in rormatlon relating to tho purchase and coin age ot silver under the Sherman law: How many ounces of silver have been pur chased, and what has been the hlghost. loweot, nnd average market price paid ' What amount ol Treasury notes has been issued in payment or the silver bullion, what amount redeemed, nnd what amount reissued 1 What amount ol Treasury notes hnvo been redeemod In gold coin and what amount In silver? How many standard silver dollars have been coined nnd how many ounces ol silvor bullion aro now owned by the Government i Mr Trueey (Dem . N. V. i suggested thnt the gentleman could obtain the information by addressing a note to the Secretary of the Treasury, but he mado no objection, and the resolution was adopted. The silver debute was thon resumed. Mr. Mei'nll lltep.. Mass. I. speaking In favor of repeal, said that he agreed with the oppo nents ol the hill Hint bimetallism and mono metallism wero at Issue, but the euuso ol bl inetallsm was represented by the Iriends or I repeal. A continuance ol the policy ol buying silver would inevitably deprive the (iov I erniuent ot its stock of gold and place 1 this country upon the sliver standard. i and this would practically demonetise I gold. Coder the operation ol tho act ol lKlit) the Government bud lest nearly 100.000.000 ol gold, and under a continuance of the act the day could not be distant when It would bo able to redoem in that metal. The real ques tion at Issue was ono of standards. It would be madness, when the whole of the clvllirod world and n largo lart of Ihe heathen world had stopped the coinage ot silver, for the Cnitod States to make that metal its standard of value. Self-preservation drives us towage war for gold, and out ot that content would I i : ii ir tho fixing of an International ttatut . for sliver. i .Mr. Coombs I Dem.. X. V.I said that he would not 'although he was a citizen of New York) 1 at tempt to defend the city of New York. She did not ask it of him : she did not need it. Her , uplcn lid record was her own defence. Who i ever saw a more magnificent Spectacle than l was now presented by the banks and mer i hunts of that great city? With the storm I eat ing on their heads Iron, all sides, calmly, qulel- iy. and cousistenily they held their ground, I and held out the hand of help to every portion I of the country. Whenever disaster and mis fortune swooped down upon uny section of the 1 country the cities of New York and Brooklyn well the first to respond. He could not do- j fend New York, she had defonded herseir. Ho highly commanded the President's I message, which. In his opinion, had nover been surpassed by any stole paper. Hut the President might have said In coiiclutlon that " It it a condition and not o theory that con frontt us." The President had done his duly, nnd responsibility for notion rested with Con gress. Ho 'Mi. Coombsl had yielded, much against hit will and against hit judgment to the agreement made a to the method or pro codure i n this bill. During thoto lourtoou days ol debate disaster would be spreading through the land and the cancer would ho eat ing Into the vitals ol the people. This body did not need any further discussion of the sil ver question, for the ground had been gone over so often that nothing was lelt to be said. Events were speaking to Congress In louder tones than eloquence or oratorycould do. Tho inirelitsiig clause ot tho Sherman act should 'e repealed. Fven its form, i friends, even its lei utcl uiithor, turned Irom it In disgust, and the demand lor its repeal came Irom every sec tion of the country. Mr. Ilryon ifluiii.. N'b.irdla'ed Mr. Coombs. . nnd allocked th- Prc-ident's uiessago In vig orous terms. The recommendations ol the President, ho said, meant the burial ot silver with no promise ol resurrection.

How IHepaty Hrr-mnl-il-Ariin Hill Es caped Ollliliii Death. Wsmvvrnj. Aug. 10. Col "Ike" Hill of Ohio, tho well-known deputy Sergonnt-at-Armt of the House, hod a narrow escape from otTielol dooth yesterday. The Colonel Is one of the picturesque figures In the House, and whan it was reported that he was likely to suffer official decapitation much surprise was felt Who was to arrange the pairs by which Ilopresentatlves wero enabled to toko things easily and to perform the other useful offices which Mr. Hill had so long monopollsod If ho wero removed, and who elso could be relied upon in the weary watches or an nil night session to bring back to tho House the elusive majority necessary to make a quorum ? So tho Democratic hosts rallied to his support, nnd just before the Houso ad journed Mr. Snow, tho new Sergeant-at-Arms. announced that no change would bo mado. The movement to oust Hill had its beginning In the contest over the office or tho Sergeant-At-Arms. He espoused the cause of Dr. Voder, the former incumbent, and thereby aroused the anUvgonlsm ol Mr. Snow's supporters to such a degree that lost week a posltlou was circulated for signatures asking Hill's remo val. This was signed, it Is said, by the wholo Democratic delegation from Illinois, and on tho strength ol it Mr. Snow felt lustlfled in an nouncing that a change would be made In the office of deputy. A counter movement to se cure Hill's retention In office was begun, and enlisted such men as Speaker Crisp and .ludga Culberson of Texas. The latter Is reported to have bad a very exciting Interview with Mr. Snow when he presented tho requestor 177 Democratic representatives that Hill remain undisturbed. At tho request of Itoprosentotlvo Illand ot Missouri, Mr. Preston, tho acting Director ot the Mint, sent to the Houso to-day a statement showing tho number ol grains or standard sil ver In the dollar at the following ratios: Sev enteen to one. 438.00 grains: eighteen to one, 4U4.4I): nineteen to one. 410.'.JU. and twenty to one. 510. The Commission appointed under tho Chil ian claims treaty to adjudicate claims msde by citizens ol the Cnlted States against the (Iovernment ol Chili nnd "I Chilian citizens against this Government, mot at the Mate De partment yesterday and adopted rules tor pro cedure. The committee udiourned to meet on i lot. 0. when tho adjudication ol claims will begin. These claims date back many years, and do not grow out ol the recent affair be tween the two countries over the assault on the lialtlmore's sailors. The first batch ol recess nominations was sent to the Senate to-day. There were 06 nomes on the list, which Is confined to Stute nnd Judicial nominations. There aro f min isters. 12 consuls-general, !" secretaries ol legislation, five justices. 17 district attor neys. ID marshals, a solicitor. 2 assistant attorneys-general, and a ( ii Ulan claims commissioner. Yesterdny was pay day at the Capitol. Tho employees formed In line, as usual on the loth of each month, but they received no money. The reason was that the President has not yet signed the resolution which was rushed through both Houses making the necessary appropriation. Secretary Hoke Smith sold to-day that the proclamation In regard lo tho opening of the Cherokee Strip wot ready, with the exception or Hie Presldcnt't signature. The allotments, which have heon delaying the preparation for I opening, were recoivod this morning, and tho iiroei.'imntion will he despatched by special messenger at once to (tror Gobies. The I President Is expected to sign It promptly, and ' Secretary smith now thinks It may be official ly Issued by next Wednesday- The law , provides that the proclamation shall be Issued at least twenty days rior to the Ute llO'il for the opening, so thnt tho I settlers will probably bo permitted to enter at noon on Tuesday. Sept. i'-'. Tho county lines I have all been located and the county seats se- I lected. and the land nlllces will be named In I I the proclamation. The registers and receivers Will he appointed at once, so that thev moy bo ready for business on the day of oponlng. Two i I Illinois men are candidates for those places.

Another candidate who. it is said, will get one of the places, is ox-Congressman i David H. Patton of Iloinington. lnd. For the past two or three days several Sena tors and KepresentoHvcs in Congress have been complaining that the Washington banks rcluseto accept on deposit drafts on hanks In thoir respective States and cities, giving as a reason that this course is necessary to protect themselves in view ol Hie great lock ol cur rency. Some id the Congressmen say that the hunks have taken this action, not ns a meas ure ot pr itection. hut to give the members an object lesson so striking thnt they will soe the necessity ot promptly enacting legislation to relieve tho money market. An official or tho Post i mice Department points out that since tho hanks have been refusing drutte on out side cities the money-order business has In creased to a very appreciable extent, not only lu Washington but in all ports ol the country. Superintendent ot Immigration Stump will leave Washington in a few days to make an Inspection of the ports along tho Canadian bordor to ascertain whether Ihe immigration laws are being properlv enforced. He says that Indications nro that there will ho much suffering among the poorer people during tho coming winter unless something is done In furnish employment for the hundreds of thousands of men and women, who are now out o work. Tho present condition ol all. ins lu tho United Slutes It very perceptibly restricting Immigration to this country.

Now that the receivership Is an accomplished fact Wall street Is discussing the probable ot rector tho new turn ot affairs upon the sub scriptions to the collateral trust loan. Of tho total amount HO per cont. has been cnlled and most ol It paid in. The remaining 40 per cent Is due Aug. 23, and the question is whethor tho niembors of the syndicate will not.contest the demand on them Tor this balance. Sir. Jnmos McNaught, counsel for the company, said yesterday that the subscriptions are still binding and will be collected. He said also that he did not think that an Issue of receivers' certificates would be necessary. No official statement could be obtained yes terday In regard to the floating dobt. not in cluded In the collateral trust loan, which Is stated In the complaint at ovor 11,000.000. It is known, however, that a part of this dobt was being carried by Spcyer A Co.. and part by Kuhn, I.oeb ,V Co. Mr. Cromwell said that they had both been arranged, and a salo of tho securities pledged Is not anticipated. Thore are already rumors lhat efforts will be made by soma of the seourlty holders to can col the lease of tho Wisconsin Central Hall road and to get rid ol some other burdens Im posed upon the company by Henry Villard and his Iriends. A Philadelphia stockholder has written to the company demanding that suits be brought against some ol the directors named lor restitution ot moneys alleged to have been made by them at the expense ol the security bidders, and It is understood to be his Intention to acton his own account should an nnsntlsractory response be sent him. When Mr. Henry illurd resigned his office as Chairman of tho lionrd and as a direc tor of the -Northern Pacific Railroad Company the Hoard caused a eulogy of Mr. illarri to be spread on Its minutes, and directed that cop cs of tho sumo he distributed among tho security holders. A copy was accordingly sont to Mr. llrayton Ives, who was o member of the Inves tigating committee appointed by tho stock holders at their last annual meeting and who joined in Ihe report of the committee, and was largely responll le for tho criticisms on the management of tho Northern Pacific Itnllrood Company contained therein. Upon the receipt of this interesting document Mr. Ives ad dressod a loiter to the management, which he was induced yesterduyto make public- It was: III iie Board Utitttort of the Xtil,tin Vartfir HaittuaU Deaii Shir: I beg to acknowledge the re colpt of the printed extract trora tho minutes of your meeting or June '-'I. stating your ac tion In connection with the resignation of Mr. Henry Villard us Chairman and director. Vt first sight it seemed like a ghastly f ar ea'sm cruel both to Mr. Villard and the stock holders who have suffered so severely under his administration, but a more careful read ing shows lhat the nctlon was intended to be friendly to him. and Hint he Is justified, there fore, in exclaiming "Save me Irom my rnends'" for it would ho difficult to Imnglne a more ill-timed, misleading and injudicious paper thon this extract.

It cannot be denied, however, that all of theso com panies nre suffering Irom the inherent defects of his plans at thoir organization, and that their present managers have been uuublo to make Ihoin successful. Hut Mr. illard s especial pet scheme, and the one on which ho bused his hopes of con trolling all ol tho Northwest and tho Pacific coast, was the (irlgon and Transcontinental. Originally theoutcoineof monotonous blind imoT" it started off ns n dividend purer, but soon ignomlnouslv collapsed. The company was transmuted about three years ago Into Hie North American, and Mr. illurd at that time promised dividends In a printed circular. Beguiled, hy his alluring fore cast many bought Ihe Btock ut illty and above, but within the year the concern collapsed sguln and the price fell to lo. A lewweeksago. when It becamo known through the press that n movement was on foot to cull him shurpli to account at Ihe unnual election, he resigned in favor of o lawyer who has heon ono or hi- confidential advisers lor several years. When the election occurred this same lurco was enacted by tho directors ol tender ing thanks to tho man who had organized the company und sueeptsfully brought It to ruin. The Northern pacific. alho. has been twice placed in financial dlilieultles by Mr. Illurd. To the figures givon above should be udi led theshrlnkagv on tho bonds ol tho company. Mr. Villard insisted on the issuance of 10O. IMXI.000 of consolidated 5 per cent, bonds, which sold when first brought out above ninety. As they are now selling for less than one-half ol that price the depredation Is obout $K(i.0(iU.0()i). The decline on other issues amounts to at least 10,000.000, so that the shrinkage on the securities ol tho live com panies of which Mr. Villard has been Presdent Is at least (220,000,000, Furthermore, every one of these companies is to-day In financial discredit. In such a state of ulTairs can any thing bo more grimly Ironical than an address of coiigratiihitlon to their late President? Perhaps, however. It Is a matter of congratu lation that the companies are lo be no longer favored with just this klndol financial genius. And now as to the wording of thin lemarka ble production, it begins: In all of Mr. il lard's connection with this company his vust mental resources, his great sagacity, his al most intuithe forecast have been of Immense advantage." Tins sentence is evidently Incom plete. If you will add Ihe two words "to him self" no one will question lis correctness, for the ability of Mr, Villard cannot be disputed, at least by stockholders who. like myself, hove been repeatedly victimized hy him. Hut how comes It that this wonderful genius has been ol so Utile pructlcul value to the five compa nies of which he has beon President? Vour ..itrael ay., his services have been " given 'o nnd solely In the Interest and welfare of this I company." It this Is so. how is ll thut " thi.i I company " Is P 'Or and its securities selling at prices which might well indicate approaching i bankruptcy, while Mr. Villard has sev- e-n! millions V " His groat sagacity " bus kept ' him from owning much of the stock, hut he is ! rich enough to lend the company 1.1)00,000, ! taking as security, among other things.

Their object, was to capture it Tor tho benefit of, Iho Wisconsin Control Company, which thev controlled, and which was In a bankrupt condi tion. It was a part or their consp t acy thnt Villard should b" Chnlrinnn. Iho office was created In lSSH. nt his suggestion. Mr. Harris occupied tho position for one year. At Iho election In 18). Villard had nhaoluto eontrol of the proxies. He then took Mr. Harris's place as Chairman and hold It until ho resigned, when the olllce was abolished. The simple truth Is. Mr. Villard leaves tho Northern Paclfioas ho has letteverycompany under tire, and because his management has proved dlsnstoroUB. Nothing can bo more easily proved than that the floating debt of tho Northern Pacific could not have been pro vided for had not the promise been mndo that ha should loovo the Hoard. Ills resignation was demanded and given as n condition pre cedent ol the underwriting or the collateral trust notes. It Is beyond dispute, rurthermoro. that ho could not hove been reelected next October. Thorefore. under theso conditions, his resignation Is either n forced one era cownrdlv Might from responsibility. In either cose the passage ot such laudatory resolutions Is most reprehensible. . . . Mr. Villard Is going nbroad. It Is reported, to stov an Indefinite time. lie goes with full pockets, but ho leaves behind him empty troas urlos. His career has been unique, nlth no ostensible or visible occupation during the past 11 vo years other than that of President or Chairman or three great companies he leaves them Impoverished, but he has acquired n foi nine. If his rrlonds' statements can bo trusted, nt the rate or a million a year. His nctlvn brain and his sklllul diplomacy con tributed chiellv to tho success ot tho effort to fasten on tho Northern Pacific tho burdens of the Wisconsin Central. A nioie flagrant breach of trust and a more shameless disregard ot the duties ol trustees and directors havo not been seen in the history ot American rail roads. The syndicate composed or vil lurd. Colby. Abbot, snd lioyt and their friends mndo millions by The operation and the Northern Pacific has suffered and Is suffering a corresponding loss. The tight of suoh wrongdoers escaping not only without punishment, hut actually wlthengrossed reso lutions of thanks nnd praise. Is discouraging and demoralizing. Thut those ot vour Hoard who havo shored the spoils with Mr. V."'tr,li should hove felt compelled to comply with his request for such an endorsement Is not strange, but 1 shall nover be ablo to under stand how somo of your members, whom I have always looked upon ns honorable men. and for whom 1 hnve entertained a personal regard, could consent, either willingly or un der duress, lo thus stamp with approval tho career of tho shrewdest, wiliest, least scrupu lous, and most successlul financial odventurer that has ever come to this country, lours re spectfully. lillAYTON IVU. Alia, H, 1803. Wall street received Iho news of the appoint ment ol receivers for the Northern Pacific Company with seeming indifference. It was In every man's mouth that he had expected tho-event Mr a long lime and that the securi ties or the company likely to binrthe brunt or the reorganta ,tion were sellinK at receivership prices wdion the event took place. Thoie was also in ninny quarters a feeling of relief that the worst that could happen lu tho company had occurred. Thero was no excitement on the Mock r.x ehange. Northern Pacific stocks were com paratively neglected, but the bonds received 6omo attention thut resulted In lower prices for them. The first mortgage bonds, both coupon and rogisterod. fell 'i points to par. nnd Hie third mortgage bonds declined 10 points. There were no dealings in Hie seconds. The consolidated or "fourth " mortgage bonds and the Chicago and Northern Pacific firsts dropped oft a point or two each. They have, apparently, had their big decline.
