sat down was one of the most capable,
had seen fit to change their position
upon this qnestion; to abandon a large
portion ol voters who aided in giving
them the seats tbev occupy; to turn
their faces to the east, their backs to the
west
"As to the declarations in the Demo
cratic platform," Bland asserted, "it
was the understanding that free coinage
of silver necessarily meant the repeal of
the Sherman law; the two are so antag
onistic that they cannot exist at the
■ame time, but we are met now with a
■uggeition that we are to legislate piece
meal to repeal the Sberman law and
take our chances in securing anything
in its place which shall meet the pledge
of the platform to coin both silver and
fild; this because a panic was upon us.
he voting masses of tbe country may
become panic stricken on election day.
If they do I am afraid those like the
gentleman from Indiana will feel tbe
force of that panic."
Bland sketched briefly the history of
the financial legislation of recent years,
and asserted that the same cry of "going
to a silver basis" bad been raised against
the bill of 1878, with Which his name
bad been connected. He sent to the
clerk's desk and lad read an extract
from a report of the British parliamen
tary committee on Indian currency, to
the effect that in its opinion the repeal
of the Bberman purchasing act would
be followed by a further depreciation in
the price of silver.
"And vet we are deliberately asked
here," continued Bland, "to vote to
bring about a decreare of 15 cents an
ounce in the price of silver before pro
viding for the restoration of its coinage.
No man can defend that vote before his
constituency who is in favor of free coin
age."
Bland having occupied an hour, and
not having finished, unanimous consent
was given for him to oonclude without
respect to time limitation.
THE QUESTION OF RATIO.
Upon the question of ratio, Bland
argued in favor of 16 to 1. He said if
the United States would maintain the
parity of gold and silTer on that ratio,
the world would buy our products. We
have property to sell, and should induce
purchasers to come France main
tained gold and silver at a parity on a
ratio of 15> 2 ' to 1 for 70 years, because
she had property to sell.- "If we do
this," said Bland, "Weat«rn Europe
must come to our standard."
At that ratio France has been able to
maintain the parity of the two metals
all over tbe world. That was the proof
that the government of the United
States could do so at the ratio of 10 to
1. If Europe refused to accept that
ratio, the effect would be to divert from
Europe all the trade of every silver
producing country in the world. Could
England, he asked, withstand this with
drawal of trade? Certainly not.
It was bimetallism that made the
manufactures of England so strong and
prosperous. Western Europe would
have to come to the American standard
or. abandon its commerce with the
United States and with all civilized
countries. The money requirements of
the United States with the wealth, in
dustry and energy of its people, were
equal to those of England, France and
Germany combined, and the whole
civilized world would have to look to
this country for its future monetary
supply, "and yet," said he with vehe
mence, "we are asked here today to lay
tbe bloody band of confiscation on mil
lions of our population in order to sat
isfy the greed of England.
WILL CONGRESS DO IT?
"Will congress do it?'' continued
Bland. "Will you trample down the
interests of your own people and de
stroy the value of one of the precious
metals simply to gratify the interests of
Wall street, the mere agent of Lombard
street? It cannot, it shall not be done.
[Applause.] Speaking for the mass of
the people of tbe Mississippi valley and
of the people west of it, I say you shall
not do it (renewed applause), and any
body or any party that undertakes to do
it will, in God's name, be trampled, as
it ought to be, in the dust of condemna
tion now and in tbe future. [Continued
applause on the floor and in the gal
leries.] I speak as a Democrat but yet
as an American above Democracy."
[Cheers.]
Here Bland dramatically spoke the
words at the opening ot this dispatch.
In conclusion Bland said, addressing his
words to the eastern Democrats: "If
you demonetize silver, the responsibility
be yours, not ours." [Applause.]
POPULIST PENCE SPEAKS.
Pence, Populist, of Colorado, was the
next speaker, and with his opening sen
tences he attracted the close attention
of tbe bouse and retained it to the end.
No other man has succeeded in so im
pressing himself upon tbe favorable con
sideration of his associates on the floor
at such an early period of his member
ship. Referring to Rayner'e remarks as
to the government acting the part of a
pawnbroker for the silver miners of
Colorado and Nevada, he said it might
be that tbe gentleman knew more of the
pawnbroking business than he (Pence)
did, or it might be on account of
the practice of tbe treasury de
partment to Jew down tbe men who
brought silver there to sell, because it
was now beyond question that such was
the policy of tbe department. All the
reasons assigned for Democratic success
but one were incorrect. It was because
it declared unequivocally for the remon
etisation of silver that it had succeeded.
The people of the west were brave, buoy
ant and hopeful, but tbeir industries
had been prostrated by tbe course of the
last two administrations; by the base
surrender of those who had been elected
on a silver platform and on silver
pledges.
Wheeler of Alabama closed the dis
cussion for the day with a plea for a
larger volume of currency, and tbe
house adjonrned.
THE FINAL CONFERENCE.
How the Opposing Forces Oatne to an
Agreement,
Washington, Aug. 11. —A conference
of the opposing forces on the silver ques
tion was called for 10 o'clock this morn
ing, and the eagerness and anxiety of
each side was made apparent by tbe
early arrival of the parties to the con
ference. The silver men had not yet
arrived at a conclusion upon the last
proposition from the other side, provid
ing that the repeal bill shall take
precedence, but that an opportunity
will be given for votes upon different
ratios and other plans of the silver men.
Just before the conference began they
stated they could not express an opinion
as to whether tbe proposition would be
accepted or rejected.
The conference, however, reached an
agreement by which general debate on
the bill for tbe repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman actwill be limited
to 11 days; this to be followed by a de
bate of three days nnder tbe five minute
rule, when voting will begin on the bill
and various silver amendments.
Tbe arrangement was that the repeal
bill should be introduced in the bouse
today; that an accompanying resolution
should prescribe tbe method of proced
ure, and that the general debate begin
at once. If carried out, this programme
wi>l bring the house to a vote on tbe bill
and amendments August 28th.
The silver men's part of the pro
gramme is to offer, first, a substitute
looking t* free etrinaae at the present
ratio; if defeated, votes will be taken on
amendments fixing tbe ratio at 17, 18,
19 and 20, in order, and finally if these
fail, upon tbe Bland-Allison act.
THE LINING UP PROCESS.
Demnontti ofttre Meinrte T>ylnf to Afr««
on a Plan of Action.
Washington, Aug. 11. —The Demo
cratic caucus committee of tbe senate
met this morning and was in session all
day without coming to any conclusion
as to a plan for tbe work of tbe senate.
The brie" proceedings in the senate
yesterday, coming after the action of tbe
day before, indicate that tbe parties in
the senate are being "lined up." There
is a slight disaffection on tbe Republican
side on the part of a few silver men, but
generally they have adopted tbe policy
of annoying tbeir opponents by insisting
upon the immediate disposition of tbe
question, therefore resisting every mo
tion to adjourn and calling for the yeas
and nays to put the senators on record.
One of the Republican leaders in finan
cial matters said they would keep up this
line of action until tbe majority was
obliged to proceed to business. He in
sisted that the Democrats could not
charge the Republicans with partisan
action, inasmuch as they were simply
trying to give immediate effect to the
president's suggestions in hie message.
The Democratic senators resent the
attempt of tbe Republicans to control
tbe business of tbe senate and dictate
the character of legislation. They have
resolved that they will not permit action
until they have themselves agreed upon
a line of policy, and the conduct of the
Republicans has had the effect to con
solidate ail elements on tbe Democratic
side upon this resolution. Meanwhile
tbe Democratic caucus committee is in
almost constant session trying to ar
range a plan of action, and the keenest
parliamentarians on the Republican
side are quietly conferring among them
selves to devise means to carry out their
ideas, so that the sessions of the senate
promise to be interesting.
Between now and Monday it is hoped
by the friends of the administration in
the senate that some plan may be
agreed on on tbe silver question, but
there are slender grounds for confidence
in the developments that have cropped
out thus far.
NO COMPROMISE.
The President Approval the Anti-Silver
Men's Programme.
New York, Aug. 11.—A Washington
special says: Rayner and Oockran drove
out to Woodley last night and had a
brief conference with the president over
the results of the caucus at Secretary
Carlisle's. Cleveland approved tbe pro
gramme and urged the visitors to put it
tbrongh without relaxing their efforts
on any account. He was especially em
phatic in enjoining the anti-silver men
te insist upon securing an affirmative
vote and avoid compromiees, which he
said could only weaken the good cause.

A CRISIS IN KG V PT
The Khedive Again Rebels Against
English Omnlnitinu.
Cairo, Ang. 11.—The re tarn of tbe
khedive from a visit to the sultan at
Constantinople has been marked by
further tension in the political situation,
and a cabinet crisis ie now on. Tbe
knedive has had a quarrel with Prime
Minister Riaz Pacha, who owes bis posi
tion to English influence, and wants a
ministry in accord with his own policy,
which is well known to be pro-French.
The situation between the kbedive and
his official advisers has now resulted in
another crisis that will probably again
oall for English intervention.
A Drifting Match.
Newport, R. 1., Aug. 11.—The trial
race between yachts Pilgrim, Jubilee,
Vigilant and Colonia, to decide which
of them is to defend the America's cup
against Lord Dunraven'B fleet cutter
Valkyrie, took place today. It was more
of a drifting match than a race, as there
was scarcely a breeze. The fog is so
dense that nothing definite is known,
though it is believed tbe Vigilant passed
over tbe line first. She may not prove
the winner, however, wben tbe time al
lowance is worked out. Tbe course was
38 miles. There were races between
sloops and schooners also.

The Weight of Crowds.
The load which is produced by a dense
crowd of persons is generally taken at 80
to 100 pounds'per square foot and is con
sidered to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which a floor need be
proportioned. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor "W. O. Kernot
of the Melbourne university, Australia,
in a paper before the Victorian Institute
of Engineers. In an actual trial a class
of students averaging 158.5 pounds each
in weight were crowded in a lobby con
taining 1,823 square feet, making an av
erage floor load of 184.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 143.1 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed 58 Irish laborers
averaging 158 pounds each in weight in
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 57
square feet floor area. This was a load
of 147.4 pounds per square foot In an
other test, with 73 laborers crowded into
a hut 9 feet by 8 feet 8 inches, Stoney
produced a load of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
in. It appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of 80 to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for Bpaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, Bay 140 to 150
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en
trances and exits to places of public as
semblies or of office buildings, bridge
sidewalks, pavements over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather.— Engineering News.

By the .associated Press
Nbw York, Aug. 11.—A bulletin of
Health Officer Jenkins says: A bacte

removed to Swinburne island yesterday
shows spirilla of Asiatic cholera. Two
more cases showing choleraic symptoms
were removed to the island today.
At 9 p.m. Health Officer Jenkins

A Ilap.hiui aasr* l u l outer Days.
Thero was a young lover who was a
compound—very rare—of high rank and
great abilities, wilh. sweetness, great
modesty and shyness. Most noble lords
know their own value and bohave ac
cordingly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself so far
—.so very far— below the worth of the
young lady whom ho loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies, 'tis a sure and certain sign of a
noble character, because only a lofty
soul can conceive tho existence of a god
dess. We measure others, you Bee, by
ourselves. It is also a sure sign of love,
because such a man can only love a wo
man whom he deeply respects. Encour
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
all, do not laugh at it. This young man,
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the
delay, which is at first, I am told, pleas
ing and exciting, began to grow monoto
nous.
One day thoy were playing cards for
money, after tho fashion of their gen
eration. The lady won; the loser paid.
"It is," he said, "half a crown. I wißh
fndeed it wera a crown."
•'At least," replied the lady, "your
lordship can givo me a coronet."
And behold a miracle! For his tongno

During the reception at court on Mon
day the many hundreds of persons of
distinction assembled had eyes only for
the empress. During a long evening sho
was the central figure in a brilliant
pageant. Her appearance was certainly
striking. Dressed entirely in dull black,
with not a jewel or even jet to relieve
the monotony of the deep mourning, she
bore herself majestically. The face, sur»
rounded by ringlets, looked young still,
framed as it was in the luces of a broad
collar that fell over fashionable puff
sleeves. A veil of flowered gauxe fell
from the tresses that were set up like a
tiara on the white brow. The old smile
reappeared every moment with the easy
grace for which she was famous in the,
days when society saw more of her. j
She spoke to a hundred ladies in the
course of the evening, and to two gen
tlemen, Cardinal Gruscha and old MJ
Koloman Tisza, with whom she kept un
a lively conversation in Hungarian. Ths
ladies and gentlomen of her suite wen
dressed in black also, and the widowej
crown princess appeared in a black vef
vet dress, low and studded with dip
monds. The Archduohess Marie There*
has definitely given up her rights it
precedence to the crown princess, wih
whom she is on the best of terms. —L«-
