There was a dead stillness as the Xnvada senator opened his attack on tho President for his alleged endeavor to coerce Congress into passing tho repeal kilL llo began by a reference to tho laying of the corner stone of the capitol and the rocont centonnial anniveriary of that event. On tho lattor occasion, ho said, tho President of tho United SjtatOB, armod with more than a hundred thousand high paid, desirnblo federal oflicea-to bestow, with the veto powor designed only for extraordinary occasions, backed by concentrated capital and encouraged and flattered by a venal press, turned his face towards the senate w of the capitol and in angry 1 /!??? aol/1 14Ff fh? ronrn. UUU lUUUUblilK WHIua uw?| .. ~r-. sentatlves there assembled legislated in prejudice or passion, or in behalf of sectional and selfish intorosts. the time when the corner stone was laid and the circumstances surrounding it would not be worth commeromorating." This declaration, said Mr. Stewart, which bad been cheered and encouraged by a thoughtless multitude, had been construed by a venal press as a robuko from tbo President of the United States to a guilty and venal sonmo. He then qaotcd at length from Mocauley's History of England as to the parliamentary struggle with the Stuart kings. Coming to tbe present time, Mr. Stewart charged that the President, in disregard to tus oath of office tooxecute the laws, had permitted the secretary of the treasury to violate the act which, made the purchase of four and a half million ounces of silvor bullion per month mandatory by exercising an unlawful discretion in purchasing a smaller amount 6TR0NG WORDS. Mr. Stewart undertook to say that at no timo since the execution of Charles I, either in England or the United States, bad any king or president ever openly and defiantly disobeyed a statute which he himself declared was mandatory, or allowed his subordinates over whom he had control to do the same thing. Was it not time, he said, to sound the alarm 7 If constitutional liberty was of any value, it sepmed to him that all friends and foos should stand up and say to the President of the United States: "You have over t0DD0d the mark; wo cannot afford to havo" the laws of Congress oil any question disregarded." Mr. Stewan saM the President of the United States had no exalted opinion of the senate or the houso. Ha regarded it doubtless as an appendage of the oxecutlve department. Mr. Btowart then read from a letter written by the President, accepting an invitation to attend the centennial celebration of Williams College, in which he said he soon expected to "have a session of Congress on his hand;." ? "A session of Congress on my hands," repeated Mr. Stewart, in simulated soriousness. That remark spoke volumes in Interpreting how the President regarded tho co-ordinate branches of the government. Would a man who fully appreciated the responsibility of his ofBceeven by accident make tho remark ?Congress wonld be on his hands. , Congress had aaiemblod as an independent branch of the government and was on nobody's bands. Mr. Stewart then read from the Cincinnati IVmri-Star an interview with tho President in which he said: "Tho repeal of the silver purchasing act could not bo efloctod this yoar." Thore was no newspapor reporter, Mr. Stowart said, who would misrepresent the Presldont in the columns of a paper. They all had too much respect for tho olHce to do that. The artlclo continned i ' Tho people are with mc and my policy (saiu the.President), but I fear I "hall tmfr bo able to command action from Congress. I never saw such obstinacy as exists among mombers of Congress on the silver question. It is useless to appeal to them now." Cleveland's education. Tho assumption of the President that he knew best, said Mr. Stewart,end that those who had studied the subject all their live* wero wrong, was remarkable. When such a sentiment was uttorod by the chief executive it became pertinent 10 inquire whore and when did he acquire all the knowledge? Where and a lien did ho have any opportunity to familiarize himself with the wants and needs of the Amorlcan peoplo and with the science of money and economics? Where and when did bo study it, and in what school? "I believe," said Mr. Stewart, "that the President is tbe only Presldeut who has over presided at the white house *110 did not possess a liberal education ither in som? collego or on a farm,' 011 ore be com munlcatod with nnturo nd learned nature's, laws. I beliovo either a country education among the people or a collegiate education Is necessary. I do not believe that tho education of a clerk or a lawyer without n ""oral education In a college or a libera! education by stndying tho books nature can fit a man to presldo over 'no destinies of this country. "The -three greatest Presidents wo svor had received that liberal education Hra. which nature affords by coming in contact with the people and taking a wider view of the law! of man and of natnre than can be obtained in a law office or in a sheriff's office, or in the office of mayor, or any other contracted place where the groat book of nature is closed. He cited Washington, Jackson Zand Lincoln as mat examples of great Presidents as the result of liberal education. Unfortunately the present President was denied both a collegiate education and that grand and betteredtlftatinn fh?fc Mink (mm ?nmmtinlnfi with the great producing classes of tho country; communion with the pioneers of the west; communion with those who formed the bone and sinew of the country; communion with the pure aspiration ot free American citiiens. If the prosent President had known what Washington knew; if ho bad known the people as Washington, as Jackson and as Lincoln fully appreciated them ho would not have uttered tho remarks he had. He would not have talked of the obstlnancy of Confess, nor wonld he have talked about having Congress on hisihands. "But," said Mr. Stewart, "his environments have been peculiar." Ho then read from-the President's biography in the Congressional Directory, the authenticity of which would not be questioned. "At 16 years of ago ho became an assistant teacher in the New York institute for the blind," road Mr. Stewart and then ho added: "U looks now as if ho had not gotten entirely over that idea. fLaughter.l "In 1855 he want vest In search of employment," continued the biography, "Let us aee what hla idea of the west 19," laid Mr. Stowart, and then he read on?"engngod with hie ancle at BuQalo [laughter] to aid in the compilation of the Anferican herd book. [Launhter.1 "Upon retiring from the presidency, the biography read, "he returned to New York city and resumed the practice of law. New York was a great place to study finance, said Mr. Stewart; he would there come in contact with men who knew less than he did. Why did the President say in a contemptuous manner that he would havo Congress on his hands. Why did he say congressmen wore obstinate and would not allow others who knew all about it to establish the financial policy of the country? Did it arise from knowledge? In what public document had the President ever shed any light upon the great question ot finance? "If we would stop the necessity for revolution and proserve the equilibrium of ttie departments of the government wo mast protest now. The attention of the poopltj must be called to these aggressions. It is the only way to preservo the independence of the coordinate branches of the government." Mr. Stewart had read an article from a Now York paper, which said: "Mr. VoorhoeB, tho free coinage chairman ol the financo committee, had received a plum from- tho administration in the appointment of a friend at fourth auditor of the treasury." Mr. Voorhoes stopped up to the clerk's - desk as soon as his name was mentioned, but Mr. Stewart promptly said that be had not had the article read for tho purpose of reflecting on the senator from Indiana, and Mr. Voorheoj took hiB seat. CALLED DOWN. In 1S85 when tho Paris monetary conference was in Bosaion Mr. Edward Atkinson was sent abroad to announce that there was a change of opinion among the American pooplo and that the Bland law will be repealed. Mr. Atkinson he characterised as such a "crank on finance tuat no muse take tho cake." Mr. Hoar (Rep. Masa.) took oxception to thia disgraceful allusion to one of hia conatituenta, whom ha regarded as absolutely truatworthy as a statistician. Mr. Stewart eaid lie wan tod action on hia resolution, but as Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, wai desiroua'of speaking ho would yield to him, which he did. Mr. Cameron (Republican, of Pennsylvania) said: "The chief claim of our nation to merit is that America has assorted the most emphatic possible negative to the policy and methods of tho moneyed power ot England. The official, avowed power of England is to prevent the restoration of silver toits function as money because the moneyed interests of England require, or ttiink they require, a monometalic eold standard. Any further measure, therefore, wbieh tends to discredit silver is at least for the moment a furtherance of the British policy. In voting against such a measure I stand, therefore, on assured ground. It any one is to ofier explanation or excuse for his vote it is not I; it is the senators who vote on the other side. I proposo a gold loan of so many hundred million dollars, as Congress may decide, to be bonght at the market rate and held in the treasury as the gold reserve is held in the Bank of France and by the governments of the Latin union. I proposo to open onr mints to the free oolnage of American silver, imposing a duty on the import of foreign silver. I propose, further, to repeal the taxon state bank circulation. I would also pross once mare for action in favor of oar shipping. To meet, in part, the deficit of our income for next year, I would relinpose the duty of two cents a pound On sugar and repeal the bounty. Then I would wait n year to see how the system worked and how far we were aflocted by foreign iutlnence. Mr. Bate (Deiu.,' Tenn.} then addressed the sonnto against the repeal bllL When Mr. Bate closed, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Stewart took the floor. In reading a letter from Mr. Cleveland he criticised the use of tho word "Intrinsic" as applied to the value of gold and silver, and said the President did not know what ho was talking about. MAY DICTATU TBitSIS. Repnblloan Senators In a Pconllnr Position?Tit* Situation In Tbelr Hnndt. Washington, D. 0., Sept. 23.?The i Republican senator! find themselves in a somewhat awkward predicament over tho bill for the repeal of the purchasing dauso of tho Sherman act, and are trying to find a way out of it. It happens that the Republicans who are most deiirous of securing the passage of the Wilson bill are the ones most anxioup to prevont the passage of the elections bill, and the tariff bill, which they appreciate, will come to the senate from | the other ond of the capitol. While I very solicitous that the Sherman law should be passed, they are beginning to appreciato that in helping to repeal It, they are preparing the way for the consideration of measures qnito as obnoxious to them, 1 not more so, than tho Sherman law. This state of affairs gives color to a report which was clrculatod about tho canitol to-day, and which wai not without other confirmation, that tome of the Republican lenatora have ahown a disposition to use their advocacy of the repeal bill to aid them, in securing terms on the other bills. They appreciate that Republican support is necessary to the passage of the Wilaoh repoai bill, and that it is not so essential to the other two measures, on which the Democrats are united, and -on this account some of them think they can soeuro some concessions on the measures from the President and the Democratic followers because of their continued support of the financial bill There have been some informal con?I'^*1* iUiu? kava ICI CUbCS iU nillVII W1VBO UlpowtB UK 1V been di'acuased. Bat up to the present time no conclaalon baa been arrived at There are thoae who assert that the Freatdent would favor auch a concesaion who baae their opinion upon the belief that he acceded to it when the same matter waa presented to him in connection with the vote in the house of repreientativea. Bat there is doabt as to whether, if he should so agree, ho could control his followers In tho senate. MAY FORCIS A VOTE. A Rumor that Arbitrary Measures will be Adopted. Washington, D. C., Sopt 25.?The rumor is revived to-niuht,'but not verified, that the advocates of repeal in the senate have formulated a plan by which they will force a vote on the silver bilL Tho plan is not disclosed, but it is intimated that it is some arbitrary method. Vice President Stevenson left the city to-night for Allentown, Pa., where be is to be the gueat of ex-Governor Black for a day or so. THK TAltlKr UILL. Cause of the Delay?Democrats Will Get It Up Themselves. Washington, D. C., Bept 26.?The Democratic members of the ways and meaaa committee have made no effort as yot to get together and agreo upon the outline of the new tariff bill. They say they are waiting (or information from tile treasury and other departments which they hare called to for revenue!, etc., necessary to be provided. The first question to be decided is tbe amount of rovenao to be raised by the new bill. This will involve an immediate determination of the question whether Governor Sayer's proposition to.repeal tho laws creating the sinking fund shall be adopted. Should the committee decide to act favorably on the Bayers suggestion this will redqce the amount of rovenue to be provided about $00,000,000 per annum. The next thing to be deoided is the question of proportion customs revenues are to bear to the internal revenue departments. This will Involve a settlement of the question whether the taxes on tobacco and spirits are to bo raised. Once these three points have been decided the general scheme of tho bill, bo far as it relates to the custom duties, must be agreed upon, and then the details of tba .schedules can be worked out at leisure. The bill will be framed as the Mills and McKinloy bills were, entirely by the majority members. The Republicans will have no voice in its construction and will not be shown the measure until it is completed. Odo Way tp Balis It. Washington, D. 0., Sept. 25.?Representative J. 0. Erdman, of Pennsylvania, to-day presented a bill in tlio house to provido internal revenue by imposing a tax on successions to real estate and legacies.

This was brought about by the refusal of the octogonarian Archbishop Kenrick, uttered to Archbishop Ryan, to voluntarily retire from active control. Wnr on the Social Evil. Pittsburgh, Pa? Sept 26.?The ministers of Aliecheny have begun a crusade against the social evil, and proceedings will be made against all persons who maintain houses of ill repute or rent houses for immoral purposes. A meeting will be held next Thursday evening, when an organization will be formed wbicb will have for Its purpose the impeachment of the mayor and chiof of police of Allegheny if tbey do not enforce the law.

Coney Island, Sopt 25.?'Ihero wore a good many sporting men at Conoy Island to-night, bat not so numerous was the crowd as tbe club poople hoped for. At 8 p. m. thero were fully 5,009 people in tbe arena. Thero was disappointment when it was learned that tho preliminary tout between the Australian 140-pound Mike Dun and Fred Morris, Billy Maddon's black cyclone, would not spar their ton rounds owing to Dun's illness, but tbore was some satisfaction when that announcement was followed by tho statement that Jim Burge, the so-called iron back, would take Dun's place. - It was at catch wolghts. Morris bad agreed to meet anybody under 158 pounds. Ten lively rounds were fought and Burge proved himself by no moans an easy marl^for the black cyclone. -He gave and received puuishmeut with the utmost mnnlnnRH. The tlfU'llion WM ill Morris' favor. Dixon and Smith bod weighed in six hours before their meoting in tho ring, and neither made tho beau wabble. Therefore it could not bo told exactly what they scaled. It looked, howover, as though Smith was a bit the lighter of the two. Dixon had picked as his seconds George Godfrey, tho Boston colored man; Jack Naflin, of Boston, and Tom O'Roarke, and Mike Bradley for his tinier, as usual. Smith chose Billy Delaney, Corbett's handier; his brother, Seward Smith and Jack Oliver, with Frank Stevenson aa watch holder. Dixon was first in the ring and wai but half froartlly applauded. Smith was well cheered. Dixon won the toss for gloves, and O'Rourke, his manager, was caroful to pick up the smallest be could find of the four in the centre of the ring. Hound 1. On the call of time Smith mnHn a riinh nnrl ihnra Wflfl fl clinch. In the inside work honors were even. Dixon's left went on Smith's body and Smith tried to loud an the colored boy's face, but could not At the separation Dixon tried three of bis famous left hand swings for Smith's face, but Solly dodged them alL Then' Smith 1 landed on Dixon's breast and did no barm. They stood awhile and Dixon led out his right on the ear, and sent Smith to the floor in n olean knock down. Smith took his time in getting up and made a prompt slash at the colored boy with his right, at his chest and Dixon went for him. There were' clinches and clinches, and in all Smith tried to get his right on the colored boy's jaw. He failed. Dixon in the W.J.. meantime pounumg ouiiui a uuu/. In the second round Dixon missed a laftawing. Smith was on him like a flash, rushing Dixon to the ropes and landing right and left. After a short sparring bout Smith reached Dixon's jaw with bis loft. Dixon planted.a left on Smith's neck, missing a right swing. Smith closed on him and uppor-cut him with his right. Thoy clinched and shouldered each other. Smith roaches Dixon's wind as the gong sounds. The third ronnd was full of exoltement, there wero many rnshes and clinches. iSrnith wept down four jjimes, twice by clean blows nnu itvico in ruihea. After the lait fall the Californian came up, taking full time, with n smile on bis face. In the fourth Dixon planted blow after blow on 6mitti'a body, and moreover gained another knock down for the colored boy, who made uie of hit right on Smith's ear. Smith wa* going ahead asPlimmer did?fighting for the face?as well as be could, but he did not seom to be fast. Tlioy both fctaght hard, Dixon evidently going in to end it at once. He was unable to do, howover, as Smith dodged his great left cleverly. In the fifth round Dixon landed his left and sent Smith to hie knees. It was on the ear again, too far swerved from the vital point. Smith came back with a lucky right hnndor on tho noso and Dixon got a cat that made him bleed. That blow almost staggered tbe feathor weight champion of the world and ho did no mora forcing for a moment Smith gained confidence and sailed iu, but he swung his band too high and Dixon lived. Dixon became fall of business again and slugg^Solly in the face three times, gottin|fcback only one good panch in tho neck. Sixth round?They sparred half a minute bat no blow was struck. Then Dixon .led and crossed with right. Dixon caught anothor on the nose, renewing the flow of blood. Smith Bmashes Dixon'in the.mouth and the colored boy rasbes and mlBses. His eye is closed and bis nose resembles a piece of raw beet Dixon met Smith's rasbes with a jab that was only slight, bat quite eaoagh to stall the C'ellfornian off and gain time for wind. There were a couple of close rallies before tho round doled* bat no damago was done to either. Tbo seventh ronnij settlod the thing. Smith came np from His corner looking strong enough, though us had his right eve well blackened., Smith planted right and left on Dixon's breast and got away without a reply. He kept away and clinched when he was' cornered Dixon led with hie loft, than planted ' his right on Smith's face. Smith in ro: turn landed aright bander, but slipped when getting away. Dixon then floored Smith with a terrific straight right The Cali'ornian staggered to his feet, onlv to be floored again. Again he rises jnst as the gong sounds, but i> too weak to keep his feet and falls again near hisxorncr. He gamely stagKra once more to-kis feet, and reeling :e a drunken man essays to Contlnno, bat the referoe. advancing between the men, motions him back to his corner, Dixon was then deolarod the winner in the seventh round. Tho announcement givei the time of tho seventh round a* 2 minutes 42 sec onds. Time of fight, 26 minntea and 42 seconds. The unanimoui verdict was that Smith had piven Dixon a good fight, bnt conld not withstand the colored boy'a con- 1 tant rushing.

A CIGARETTE STUB t Cannon the Lou orn Bullion Dollars Worth ' or Property at St. Joseph?An En tiro t Square Destroyed by Fire. 1 St. Joseph, Ma, Sept. 25.?Fire i started in a seven story building of j Townsend and Wyatt, dry goods company, at Sixth and Edmund at 9:30 this ' morning.

On i the south the firemen had succeeded in ] checking it in the Carbery block. On t the north it was held in check by the German-American Bank building, and t on the west it was etoppod by the t building occupied by Baneom, Garrett & Brewster, shoe dealers. t A stiff breeze aided the flames. Lack t of water impaired the lire department f in the city. Later the flames gained such headway that the department was I powerless to check them. Many casual- i ties were reported. There many narrow escapes. In the seven story building occupied by Townsend, Wyatt & Emery over 100 persons were at fork 1 when the flames wore discovered. The i fire spread with such rapidity that the escape of many was cut off, and they were forced to wait for help from the department. ' The business houses consumed are: ' Townsend, Wyatt & Emery, dry goods; J Regnler & Shoupe, crockery company; ' fyuisom, Garrett & Brewster, shoe ' dealers; B. E. Barnaby & Company, J druggists; Commercial Bank; S. 8. Allen J & Co., wholesale grocers; Daily Nem * building and six or seven small homes. ' The cause was the insignificant stub I of a lighted cigarette thrown carelessly by an employe on tho floor of the storo room on the fifth floor of tho big de- f partment store of Townsend, Wy^tt & , Emery. Before the firemen had subdued the firoa wholesquare of buildings and half of another were laid in ruina and a million doJiars worm 01 property j want up in arooke. The burned district ia the block bounded by Felix and Edmond and Sixth aud Seventh streets and the aouth half of the block between Edmond and St, Charles streot and Sixth and Seventh. t Tiro firemen were precipitated from a ( ladder into one of the burning baild- . inn, and both were badly, though not ' fatally, hurt.
