Congress Still Discussing
Silver.
.Both Houses Take Up the
Subject.
The Senate Passes Maricopa County's
Subsidy Kill as It Came
from the House.
Jly the Asrociated Pren:
"Washington", Juno 0. Tho silver bill
was ngain tnken up in tho Senate this
morning. Mr. Plumb believed it was
all but the unanimous opinion of tho
people that very considerable Increase
in the volume of currency was neces
sary. Tho circulation today was $240,
000,000 less than the frnmers of tho
finance legislation of 75 anticipated,
although the commercial business of
tho country has doubled within that
time. Tho total amount of money
which the people of tho United States
has for tho transaction of their daily
business could not exceed $600,000,000.
He believed it was less than $500,000,
000, and upon that narrow foundation
has been built enormous states of
credit, propped up hero and there by
devices of various kinds and it kept
swelling nnd growing while the base on
which it rested did not grow in propor
tion to tho structure.
Tho Senator from New York (His
cock) had yesterday descrilnxl tho great
wealth and prosperity of tho country,
but if the picture was true, why was it
the Senator and his committee had been
piling up protection duties? His
(Plumb) idea was that not only should
tho vacancy in national bank circulation
bo mado up, but there ought to
bo added to that at least as much as
would result from tho free coinage of
silver, lie was willing to abandon his
idea of fixed money and to widen the
baso of tho credit structure by adding
to it all tho silver that tho United States
mints could turn out. According to the
best data there was less than $60,000,000
worth of silver mined every year in the
United States. Of that, somo $30,000,
000 was coined, $8,000,000 was
used in arts and only $17,000,
000 could lo used in free coinage. It
was to bo remembered that tho national
bank circulation was being overv dav
retired, tho amount to bo retired this
year being $15,000,000.
Mr. Plumb went on to sneak of the
silver bill in connection with the ques
tion of protection. Tho Senate was ap
pealed to yesterday by the Senator from
New York (Hiscock) against the bill, in
tho sacred name of protection. Silver
was an American product, a much
larger product than many others which
were to be protected by duties of 200 or
400 per cent. Under tho coinage tariffbill
ho would like to ask tho Senator from
New York, who was so anxious about
foreign commerce what he intended to
do with n tariff" bill which would pre
vent tho United States from havjng any
foreign commerce. He hoped ho might
interpret tho Senator's remarks on that
point as a hopeful augury of tho action
of that Senator in putting his knife into
the bill now beforo tho Finance com
mittee, a bill which would raise the
price of nearly everything used by the
masses of the people.
MAIttCOl'A's KAILKOAD HILL FASHED.
The silver bill was then laid asido
and tho Senate took up tho bill to
authorize Maricopa county, Arizona, to
issue bonds in aid of railroad construc
tion. Tho bill was passed. Yeas, 30;
nays, 18. It is the House bill and was
passed without an amendment.
A mesiage received from' tho Pres
ident relative to tho landing of an
armed force from a revenue cutter at
Cedar Keys, Florida, was read and re
ferred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Adjourned.
The Juiif.
Washington, June 0. The silver de
bate was resumed this morning, Mr. Lind
of Minnesota, being tho ilrst speaker. Ho
said silver should bo restored to its
former position. This was demanded by
the great mass of tho American people.
Mr. Lacy of Iowa, said the country
was met with a contraction of tho cur
rency. Tho pending bill proposed to
give the country an increase
to offset the contraction and even
more. It was practically a free
coiuagu hill. Tho capacity of tho mints
was $51,000,000. Tho free coinage of
every dollar of American' silver would
be iilwut $51,003,000, yet thi3 bill pro
posed to give $54,000,000 a year of legal
tender treasury notes. It was a free
' coinage measure because it provided
that whon silver was at par tho mints
should be open to freo coinage Tho
country needed an expansion of tho cur
rency in a safo and reliable way and
this bill provided for it.
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts, spoke
against freo coinage. Ho asserted that
tho demonetization of silver was not the
cause ot a decrease in prices. Price
had been going down lor a hundred
years. More money meant more misery.
.Mr. Perkins of Kansas, remarked in
that connection, "Wo nil love misery."
Mr. Walker added that ho was going
to vote for the pending bill becauso
members of tho House from 1808 up to
tho present time for tho purposo of get
ting back here had urged and en
couraged the peoplo in their folly until
t'twy hud come to such a state of mind
Ut something must be done or it
tvoujd break members up. (Laughter.)
Jt was pqro politics, that was all there
wfls,auont it.
Mr, Mount of Georgia, con
tended that silver demonetization had
.cast a blighting curso over every
body except tho capitalist. To
.increase tho national circulation was to
.relieve not only .the agricultural interests,
.but every other interest in tho country.
Jle criticized Jhe Treasury bill, declar-
ing it was intonded to stop tho further
coinage of silver dollars. It was a Wall
street measure. lie. also criticized tho
caucus bill and advocated a free coinage
measure.
Mr. Hland of Missouri, said ho could
only protest against tho abridgement of
the right of a member of tho
minority to offer an amendment.
The gag law placed upon tho minority
for the purpose of passing a bill through
tho House tho effect of which was to
demonetize silver, was a Wall-street
scheme and a gold bug scheme to change
tho ratio between cold and silver. It
recognized silver bullion according to its
gold vaiuo. bilver was being murdered
in tho houso of its friends. Hocspecially
criticized tho bullion redemption clause,
arguing that it would prevent any
appreciable expansion of tho currency;
it would hold out temptation to tno
Secretary of tho Treasury to make mil
lions of dollars out of speculation in
Wall street. Tho free coinage of silver
would not only appreciate silver bullion,
but appreciate gold bullion and bring
tho two metals to a fixed ratio. The
government must either issuo lint
money or give an unlimited issue of
gold and silver.
Mr. Kerr of Iowa advocated the bill as
a long step in tho right direction. It
would result in tho renionetization of
silver and in tho two metals ultimately
going hand in hand.
Mr.Townsend of Colorado,said prosper
ity would not return nnd the downward
course of prices would not bo arrested
until silver was restored to its proper
place. The only complete and perfect
system was to reverse tho act of 1873 and
go back to tho free and unlimited coin
ago of silver.
Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska said if Secretary
Windom had purchased and coined the
maximum amount of silver allowed un
der tho existing laws ($4,000,000 per
month) there would bo no need of this
discussion and ho would have strength
ened tho administration of President
Harrison. Instead of that, the Secre
tary presented a substitute which pro
vided for bullion redemption. Dorsey
emphatically objected to this. Would
it not be better to cover the $1,000,000
redemption fund into tho treasury and
use it as a part of tho ciiculating
medium, and in case tho United States
notes were presented for redemption,
and there was no money to meet the
demand for tho Secretary to sell tho
bonds to meet the demand. The bul
lion redemption feature should bo
stricken out, and he appealed to his side
of tho House to allow no voting on the
proposition.
Mr. McRae of Arkansas, appealed to
tho gentlemen on the other side who le
lieved in free coinage to restore silver to
its proper place, not step by step, but
os it was destroyed in one jump.
Tho House at 5 o'clock took a recess
until 8.

RIOTS IN JAPAN.
Making Life Unpleasant for
Foreigners.
&
Americans the Special Object
of Attack.
An
American JIan-of-War Badly
Needed in the Harbor
of Yokohama.
liy the Astoclaled Pre!:
San FiiANCihco, Juno 0. A corres
pondent, writing from Yokohama under
date of May 1, says:
Some uneasiness prevails amongst
foreigners in the Japanese capita' owing
to developments which liavo followed
tho murder of the Canadian missionary,
the lato Rev. I. A. Large. The excite
ment occasioned by tho news of tho
murder had just died away, when one
of tho best known 'foreigners in tho city
found himself a victim of circumstances
which compelled his departure, and fol
lowing close upon that another mission
ary was set upon by a crowd of stu
dents and seriously cut by knives.
On April 0, tho. Row James
Summers, for many years presidont
and proprietor of the English school in
Tokio, patronized by the nobility, was
driving in one of the principal thorough
fares of Tokio with Ids wife when the
carriage, of the Dowager Empress,
mother of tho present Mikako, ap
proached with a cavalry escort. When
a member of the royal family passes it is
customary for people along the street to
uncover their heads, and Mr. Summers
reined his horse into the sido of the
street nnd halted. As the carriage
approached he took offhis hat, replacing
it as soon as the carriago was past
him. One of tho escort noticed this
and pointed his lance in lino witli it
so that by accident the cavalryman
struck bummers a severe blow on the
head. The soldier was at onco ar
rested and conrtmartialcd.
Tho native press immediately took up
tno matter ana much leeiing against
foieigners was manifested by the rough
student element known ns the Shozic,
who were inflamed by tho report that
Sommera had been guilty of un act of
great disrespect towards the Empress
Dowager. They called repeatedly at
his school and so alarmed Summers
that ho left tho school in tho hands
of the police and left on May
10. by steamer for his homo
in England, leaving his family in
caro ot mends. I lie Shozio are
greatly excited and foreigners are fear
ing a serious outbreak. Unfortu
nately Summers is tho stone man who
about forty years ago caused the death
of the Governor of Macao in China by
refusing to remove his hat when the
Corpus Christi procession was passing.
He was thrown into prison oy the
Portuguese, but was rescued by the
EngUsh Admiral and in the impending
cxcitmcnt the Portuguese Governor and
one other man wero killed.
On tho seventeenth of April Japanese
students of the Presbyterian school
known as Merji Gapun started to play
a gan 10 of baseball witli the students of
the Koto Scigkaho, a preparatory school,
on the grounds of the latter school.
Rev. E. W. Knox, nn American mis
sionary and teacher in the Meija
Gakium, accompanied the students
from his sciiool. While the game was
in progress, another American mission
ary, Rev. W. Iinbrcy of Now Jersey, a
teacher in the sairio school, went to tho
pounds and stepped over the low
liedgo into tho field. He was set upon
by tho Shozie. beaten nbout tho head
and body, nnd sustained several serious
injuries and knife cuts about the head.
No causo is given for the attack. He
will, however, recover.
Less fear is being shown by the Sho
zei for tho police, and the outcome of the
excitement is the topic of general sur
mise. The American squadron on the
Asiatic station hnvo not had a vetsel
stationed in Yoknhama harbor since the
flagship Omaha left two months ago for
Kobe, at which point sho is still sta
tioned. Tho Monocacy is in Chineso
waters and the Swatnra is at Chemulpo,
whither she convoyed the family of
United States Minister Herd. This
vessel is expected within a week at Nag
asaki, whither she brings ex-United
States Minister Dinsmoro. Rear-Admiral
Belknap has his family at Kobe and
Secretary Rcamy, of tho American
Legation, who has recovered from his
injuries sustained in the Samoan Horn,
is with Ids wife at tho same port.
Tho American Legation lias just moved
into tho new Legation buildings erected
for it at Jenokisiiharnachi, Tokio. Mrs.
Swift, wifo of the American minister, is
just appearing in socioty again, after a
long and severe illness. The minister's
wifo will not leave the capitol for the
summer.

Degrading a General Who Had Lut a
Hattle.
San Francisco, Juno 6. Advices re
ceived by the steamer City of Peking
state that the war against the savages
in Formosa is being conducted in a
desultory manner. The Chineso troops
have suffered several severe repulses
and are unable to make any progress in
the subjection of tho country. It is be
lieved that the troops in North Formosa
have lost heavily, both from tho attacks
of tho enemy and from disease. Tho
expedition returned to Tumsui, and
the government being chagrined at the
failure of tho troops, degraded
General Ti, who was in command.
A Colonel was also beheaded for
appropriating the pay of tho troops.
In the south of Formosa also the whole
Bohtan tribo of nliorigines have again
taken the war path. This is caused
by the arrest and confinement of two of
their number for petty offenses. The
tribos marcliedngainsttnecity where the
men were confined and thjeatened to kill
tho inhabitants unless thoprisoners wero
released. Tho men wero accordingly
surrendered nnd the Uolitans departed.
An expedition was quickly planned and
a force of 5,000 men hns been sent
after the savages, who have retreated
to tho mountains.

Close of the Lake Mohunk
Convention.
A Lengthy Set of Resolutions
Adopted.
Progress of the Race Recited and
Aid Asked for Higher Educa
tion and Refinement.
By the Auocialtd Pren:
Lake Mohunk, June C. At the open
ing of tho morning session of the Negro
Conference, the Executive Committee
presented a series of resolutions urging
education as the keynote of the situa
tion. The education should include
both normal and industrial systems.
Judge Tourgeo spoko on tho "negro
view of the race question" and pre
sented a series of resolutions much
more radical than those of the com
mittee. At the closing session tonight a
lengthy set of resolutions wero adopted.
They recite the encouraging progress of
the negro race and say that no other
race ever made such industrial progress
in twonty-flvc years.
We believe the welfare of
the country requires a negro
to live in relations of.good will and mu
tual confidence with Ins white neighbors
and only on one principal can such re
lations bo maintained. To this end the
conference recommends :
First Increased facilities for indus
trial training, not only in trade, but
especially in improved agriculture and
for girls in household duties. Wo be
lieve in education nnd urge all school
authorities to use industrial training,
not in order to make the negro n mere
toiler, hut to make nobler manhood and
womanhood by the discipline of intelli
gent ialwr.
Second The family is God's unit of
society. A Christian home is the great
civilizer. Ultimately in the homes of
the colored people the problem of the
colored race will bo solved. The girls
and women of the race must determine
the character of tho negro home. All
tho influences which tend to the purity,
intelligence and beauty of the home,
and ennobling of the women of the
negro race, should be systematically
fostered. Wo believe tho one-room
cabin is tho social curse of the negro
race, as is tho tepee of the
Indian and tho overcrowded tene
ment rooms of our cities of the
slums. The confer. nco earnestly urges
tho upbuilding of wholesome, cleanly
and intelligent Christian homes, the in
culcation of sound temperance princi
ples and practice, as of tho creatcst im
portance to the race and to tho upbuild
ing ui such iiuuiua uu lnenus 01 tne
negro in nil parts of tho land arc urged
to use every efiort.
Third "We recognize most grate
fully tho noble work for tho educa
tion of our race already done by
the people of the States" in which
live most of our colored fellow citizens.
But this is only a good beginning. The
school should be mode more effect
ual. A greater number of colored teachers
must bo still more efficiently trained at
additional normal schools. Ave especially
urge upon nil who deal with the negroes
that they use all their power to
promote self reliance and morality.
The credit system with store nay and
lien upon crops has so unifonnally
shown itself to be harmful that we urge
its avoidance wherever possible.
Fifth To promote these habits of
thrift, production and economy, which
must underlie the acquisition of prop
erty and tho ownership, of land, as well
as all advance in civilization, we urge
the establishment by the United States
government of a postal savings system.
Sixth For the attainment of these
ends we look to tho enlightened Chris
tian sentiment of tho people in all parts
of ourcountry. To the unselfish service
of helping the negro to help himself in
education, in morality, in religion, and
thus in civilization and fitness for citi
zenship we fraternally invite all fellow
citizens. '

Indian 'Agent Jennings Trying to Make
Trouble for Ills Superiors.
Milwaukee, Wis., June C Tho facts
regarding the reported uprising of the
Indians on the Menominee reservation
is that ex-Agent Jennings refuses to
vacate tho Agency, ho having property
that has not been receipted for. He
was, however, suspended by Inspector
Chesney.
It is a matter of current report that a
conspiracy exists to eject the govern
ment officials from the reservation and
to that end Jennings will not hesitate to
use force and that there is a reg
ularly organized plan for the defiance
of the government. While Inspector
uiiesney win not say anything as to
the Government's intentions, in event of
Jcnning's refusal to vacate, it is under
stood that troops are about to be called
to assist in expelling the stubborn
agent.
Mitwaukke, June 7. Early this

Jennings had vacated the agency, but
that the Indians are still intractable

Sale of the Harqua Hala
A Three-fourths Interest
Bonded Yesterday.
What Has Been Done in Developing
the Property New Work
to Re Pushed.
Arizona's mining industry has indeed
revived and is every day exhibiting a
greater drgree of activity. Not in mere
idle speculation, but in solid develop
ment of many excellent properties lo
cated in divers parts of the Territory. "
From all parts come tales of rich dis
coveries and of lucrative sales, but as
being local and affecting several of the
best citizens of Phoenix, The Republican
is pleased to announce the bonding of a
controlling interest in the famous
Harqua Hala mines.
The deal has been conducted very
quietly, and though the bonding was
practically clinched on the first of the
month by the payment of a large sum,
the papers in the transaction were not
fully signed until last night.
As is well known to local readers, the
ownership of the Harqua Hala group of
mines has, for alwut a year, been
equally vested in Messrs. C. II. Gray,
Frank Kirkland and Thomas Corcoran
of this place, and A. G. Hubbard of
Redlands, Cal. These gentlemen, well
acquainted with practical mining in it
details, have for months been engaged
in the systematic development of th.'s
property, and have put it into such u
shape that its value might be readily
seen and even figured upon.
The owners have several times been
approached in reference to a sale, but,
until lately, no coin has jingled.
On June first Meters Kirkland, Corco
ran and Gray had placed to their credit
in a Phoenix bank the neat sum of
$6000, in earnest money that the sum of
$49,500 would, on June 10, be paid to
them in all $65,500 for the relin
quishment of their rights in the mining
properties named.
Tne apparent purchaser is Mr. Pea
cock, a well known citizen of Phoenix,
but it is understood that the mines are
to pass into the' hands of a well known
California capitalist of mining inclina
tions, who proposes to work the prop
erty for all it is worth.
Harqua Hala, to which is attached a
camp called Harrisburg, is located about
110 miles northwest of Phoenix and
ninety miles north of Sentinel station on
the Southern Pacific. The Central prop
erty has been developed by the sinking
of two shafts, 135 and sixty feet in
depth. 130 feet apart and connected by a
tunnel. The whole workings are in ore
of most excellent quality and from six
to ten feet in width. Mill workings, tho
best test of a mine'H value, have placed
the average run at $30 per ton. The
ore is a tine quality of "free milling"
and requires but the simplest treat
ment. The mill, which is located seven
miles from the mines, is an old institu
tion that has been leased during the
winter by tho Harqua Hala company,
the necessary water for the mine
being transported on the return trip
of the ore wagons.
Harqua Hala, though located just
across the line in Yuma county, is de
pendent upon Phoenix for supplies and re
newed activity in the mines will be of
great benefit to Pluunix merchants.
A Whaler Lost.
San Francisco, June C News was
received here today of the loss of the
New Bedford whaling bark, Saucer, in
the Japan sea. The Saucer left here
last November, in command of Captain
Cleveland, for the Okhotsk sea. Sho
ran further down last April, and while
following a school of whale suddenly
ran on a sunken rock and sprung a leak.
Her pumps were worked and the bark
kept afloat until she reached Vladivo-
stock, where it was found her damage
was too great to be repaired, and she
was sold and broken up. The Captain
and crew shipped on other whalers
which were in Vladivostock at the time.
