Question.
Washington, Aug. L Although con
gress will assemble in a week very few
members have as yot pat in an appear
ance. Lefia than a score of representa
tives and a dozen senators are here.
Ex;Speaker .Crisp was accessible at
hiB hotel, and received many visits from
members. Most of them had sugges
tions to make respecting their prefer
ences in committee assignments. Mr.
Crisp has been Bteadily noncommittal
in his own expressions. He believeE
that the work of this special session
will continue without intermission un
til nest December, when the regular
session convenes, and ho hopes that tho
regular session of tho Fifty-third con
gress will adjourn early next summer,
so that the time spent in the special ses
sion will really be saved at the end ol
the regular session.
It is understood that tho announce
ment of the committee appointments
will not be made within a week or 10
days Of. .the assembling of congress,
nml this fact has revived the scheme
which is brought to the front at the be
ginning of every congress of passing a
resolution allowing members to intro
duce bills and resolutions subject to
reference to committees as soon as the
latter is appointed.

The uncertainty
on tms point nas somewnac uinuur
rassed tho state delegations that have
candidates in the field for house offices,
as thoy desire to have their formal

preceding the full Democratic caucus.
Onn nf thpfin nfflofis. which has some
how attracted less attention this year
than ever beforo, 1b that of chaplain of
the house, vacated by the election of
ChanlainMilburn to a similar position in
the senate. So far -as known, there are
but two candidates in the field at this
VlalA. Thev are Rev. T. H. Stevenson.
assistant pastor of tho Baptist church
. at' Englewood, Ills., and the Rev. Dr.
Haddaway. late pastor of tho Mount
Vernon Methodist church in this city
All the candidates for doorkeeper of
the house of representatives are now on
the ground, and the contest has begun
in earnest. Mr. Hurt of Tennessee has
nnpnod hpnImmrters.at the Metropoli
tan, and Mr. Smith of Texas will be
there some time this week. Mr. Tur-
ney will make his headquarters at his
office in the house, but is likely to be
found at those places whero members
are most liable to gather.
'The attitude of Tammany toward
Mr. Turner is so far an unknown quan
tity, thoueh it is claimed by Mr. Tur
ner's friends that organization will be
for him. Mr. Turner ulso claims the
bulk of tho delegation from Georgia
and Alabama, and all of Virginia and
West Virginia.
The fight against Mr. Yoder, the
present sergeant-at-arms of the house,
is being conducted with some vigor. He
finds an opponent in his own state, Mr.
S. E. Johnson, and another in tho per

Ohio stands in regard to its two candi

'two men are claiming to havo the sup
port of tho majority of the delegation.
- Judge Livingston, Democratic Popu
list representative of Georgia, has a
- plan by which he hopes to bring the
silver question before congress prompt
ly. He says that at the first opportuni
ty he can get he intendB to introduce o
joint resolution defining the policy of
the government and declaring it to be
the intention of this congress to main
Jain the use of gold and silver as a cur
rency on parity with each other.
,5,'This," said Mr. Livingston, "will bo a
.notice that we are favorable to a bi
metallic currency, and I havo no doubt
that it will bo adopted. Wo can then
go about the consideration of the de
tails more 'at leisure and effect the re
lief tha,t is sought. I am one of those
who do not believe that the repeal of
tho Sherman law will prove an ade
quate remedy for the ills from which
we are suffering. 'Sly people are in
favor of the repeal of that law, but
they will insist upon something to take
its placo. Even free coinage will not
suffice. The south will be with tho
west in the matter of enforcing free
coinage, but will join hands with the
north and east in fixing the ratio."
1'lrcd Promiscuously nut lilt o one.
Indianapolis, Aug. 1. During a
crap game Sunday in a saloon at Third
and Lafayette, Eugene Robbins, col
ored, who claimed to havo been beaten
out of 40 cent?, pulled a pistol and cut
loose. Then iio started to run, and im
mediately there was a hue and cry that
he had killed Clay Adams one of tho
proprietors of the placo. A mob of sev
eral hundred joined in the chase after
thb fleeiifg colored taan, who ftyed back

ACIGAR'BOX ULL OF ORE.
" , ,f - ' -; r
Borrows of Stockholder! in a Colorado
' Mine.'
ZaNesville, O., Aug. 1. Stockhold
ers in the Zanesvillo Mining company
hero are much divided in opinion con
cerning property which they own and
operate in Bouldor county, Colo. Tht
company has been in existence some
thing like 14 or 15 years, pnd although
the capital stock of the company is only
$25,000. it la held by so many persons
that it 'is said that one cad not throw a
stone in the city without hitting one of
them. During tho last few years there
have been two divisions which may
roughly be called the ins and the outs.
The outs have claimed that the com
pany has been improperly managed
and have succeeded in accomplishing
several ventures which have resulted in
nothing so far as dividends are con
cerned. Lately they have insisted that mat
ters at tho mine were not going satis
factorily, and thoy have insisted that a
man should bo sent out to examine ink
the condition of affairs. William Dunn,
the county surveyor, was chosen, pre
sumedly on account of his superior
knowledge of such affairs, and he spent
a month at the inine. Ho wrote bach
highly colored letters concerning the
richness of the oro and the expressions
of miners as to the value of the mine
until tho poor stockholders saw before
theni pictures of immense wealth and
rubbed their hands in a congratulatory
way as thoy figured on tho dividends
which would soon be rolling in upon
them. Ho found a cigar box in the
mine partially filled with ore, and his
fancy at once conceived that it must
contain something of extraordinary
value. He had a sample assayed, and
and it yielded gold at the rate of 1,000
per ton. He wrote the fact home and
immediately the report gained currency
that tho oro at tho mine was of im
mense value.
He returned home making similar re
ports and saying that there should be a
resident superintendent instead of M.
H. Sarmis, deputy sheriff of the count
in which Denver is located, who went
out as often as he thought necessary to
look at tho property. Tho stockholders
held meetings to hear these reports and
then began to condemn the directors
and to ask them what they intended to
do about tho matter.
In reply the directors placed corre
spondence with Superintendent Sainniis
before tho meeting, in which ho said
that Mr. Dunn had avoided all dates
for meetings with the exception of one
or two; that he had been tho laughing
stock of the miners, who intimated that
no one knew where the piece of ore in
the cigar box which he had assayed
came from und that the ore in the box
had been months in accumulating and
that, although the ore in the mine was
getting better and better, no rich ore
ad been found and that thoy were far
from wealth through the mine.
Such news was not what they wanted
and they are now seeking to secure the
resignation of tho directors, but they
can't see it that way. In the meantime
the stock of tho company is not listed
on the market.
LIGHTWEIGHT PRIZE FIGHT.
Green, the Young Cuibett, Knocked Out
by Paddy Smith.
Roby, Ind., Aug. 1. Four thousand
sports saw Paddy Smith and George
Green, better known as "Young Cor
bett," fight for tho lightweight cham
pionship and a purse of $3,500 in the
ring of the Columbian Athletic club in
this sporting suburb of Chicago last
night. The loser being consoled with
$500. Although the fighters were com
paratively unknown m the field of
pugilism additional interest was given
the event by the presence of Champion
Jim Corbett and "Denver" Ed Smith
in opposite corners of tho ring.
Green is a protege of tho champion,
and learned to fight by being a boxing
master in San Francisco. His opponent
is a brother of Denver Ed, who whipped
Goddard. Both men weighed in at 18J
pounds, and honors were even with
them in the point of being backed with
money. George Siler of Chicago was
official referee. Smith was seconded
by Dan Murphy, tho trainer of Peter
Jackson, and his brother Ed. Billy
Delanoy, tho trainer of Jim Corbett,
was with Joo Choynski in Green's cor
ner. Tho fight was an interesting one
and lested 28 rounds when Green's sec
onds threw up the sponge and tho fight
was given to Smith.

HARDSHIP OF SAILORS.
Arrival of the British Steamship Dorset
lladly Disabled.
New York, Aug. 1. Tho British
steamship Dorset limped into port Sun
day a cripple, and it required the
services of three powerful tugs to tow
her to her dock in Brooklyn.
The Dorset was badly handicapped.
Her boilers were defective, and leaked
like watering pots The platefe) parted
at the seams, her tubes gave out, the
cylinders allowed the steam to escape
through wide apertures, and more than
once at sea tho big ship was forced to
call into use her spread of canvass in
order to keep her head onto the seas and
while her old boilers were being patched.
In addition to these drawbacks the
Dorsets crew was sadly depleted by the
ravages of 'yellow fever. Her chief en
gineer, Richard Peters, was about the
first to succumb to tho terrible "yellow
jack." This was on Jan 2, ho having
been Btricken a few days before and
while the vessel was lying at Santos.
The chief mate, S. W. Page, had died
two davs before, and in rapid succes
sion followed the deaths of tne donkey
engineman, Von Der Wingert, and ,T.
Corbett. an American skipper, who a
short time beforo taking passage on the
Dorset, had abandoned his sailing ship
Amy, in Santos. Her crew had been
carried off by the dreaded disease. It
was impossible to secure another crew
in Santos, and after his vessel had, beeu
riding at anchor in Santos Bay for
nearly a year, and only after he himself
had been taken uown with yenow lever,
did he decide to abandon hiB ship and
return to the north.
In the meantime, during his enforced
stay in the hospitAl in Santos, where he
snuacciuently told Captain Conch ot thi
Dorbet ho had been more treated like a
doK than a man. The natives & o nvt
along the shore swarmed abt.l Li
ship and looted it. The cargo was car
ried away piecemeal, and when tho pi
rates left the ship sho was practically
dismantled. Nothing remained but the
hull and the masts, and It was In tins
condition that Captain Corbett found
his vessel when he returned after his
discharge from the hospital. Every
member of the crew was dead, and the
ship dismantled. With no funds to
prepare her tor sea, no possibility ot se
curing another crew and receiving no
satisfaction from the authorities of
Santos, to whom ho complained. Cap
tain Corbett took passage home on the
Dorset, lie took a relapse and died at
sea.

tice of the supreme court to consent to

questions are concerned. He also cites
tho fact that tho death of Justice
Blatchford has removed one of tho five
jurists who upheld the law.

WORLD'S FAIR DEADHEADS.
An EOurt Ueiug 3Iude to Greatly Redue
the Number.
Chicago, Aug. 1. There has not beet
a general disposition on the part of the
foreign exhibitors and employes to con
form to the order of the council of ad
ministration regarding the scrutinj
and stamping of passes "Good Aftei
Aug. 1." Many of these full term pass
holders say they are not going to run
after the chief of their department oi
the subordinates of Superintendent
Tucker to be inspected and investigated.
The British exhibitors and their em
ployers talk in a defiant way about theii
rights and the ability of any man tc
keep them away from their exhibit!
when they hold a full-term pass. Thej
declare their intention of jumping ovei
the turnstiles if the ticket-takers refuse
them admission on their passes, and in
timate that the British commissionei
gave them instructions.
Other foreign exhibitors take the
stand-ground that as the passes thej
served came through the commissioners
from their country, they will tak(
orders from nono other than the official
representatives of their government
The exhibitors say they have submitted
to enough restrictions and indignities ir
regard to their free admission to the
fair.
There is much complaint amongsi
both foreign and domestic exhibitors
who havo already met with a refusal
from the department chiefs or Superin
tendent Tucker's department to marl
passes good after Aug. 1. on tho grouno
that they were not regularly employed
in attendance on exhibits.
The indications aro that beginning to
day there will bo plenty of trouble fox
tho employes of tho department of ad
missions as all the tickets havo not been
stamped. The only remedy will be in
an extension of the time limit for five
days or more to allow all who are tn
titled to further admission on their
passes to get them marked.
There has been a big reduction in the
pass list already, Of the 85,000 full
term and monthly passes which were
outstanding 20.000 havo been cancelled
or taken up.
Tho Midway Plaisanco and other con
cession passes and the exhibitors in
manufacturers' building havo been the
heaviest losers by the inspection scheme
of tho council.
The national commissioners havo not
yet gone to Superintendent Tucker to
have a record made of their badges
which pass them in tho gate. Judging
by the temper and protests of the
whole body they will make an effort to
sustain their waning dignity by order
ing the superintendent of the admis
sions bureau to appear beforo them and
explain.
Two booths have been built, one in
side of the Sixtieth street gate, and the
other at Sixty-fourth street for the
solo purpose of stamping the thousands
of passes which are presented with a
certificate giving authority to do so.
CURRENCY MOVEMENT.
million! or Dollars Being Shipped DnIIj
Out of New York City.
New York, Aug. 1. Tho currenc
movement was again heavy yesterday
the shipment out of town being esti
mated at from 1,750.000 to &2.000.000
Tlio demand was from Boston anc
other New England points, whero tin
need for funds seems to be more anc
more pressing. Currency itself in th
Wall street acceptation of tho term
meaning bills of small denomination
only a small figure in tho movement
the bulk of the shipments consisting oi
coin.
There is a growing disposition amonf
New York bankers to take some actior
looking to a stoppage of the drain. At
considerable inconvenience to them
selves they have taken out clearing
honso loan certificates and sent large
amounts of the money so released tc
their correspondents. Some of thil
money is either being hoarded or lent
at high rates of interest, at tho expense
of New York.
In currency, accommodation wai
given to country banks much less free
fy than heretofore.
The exchange over the counter wai
about 300,000, and $250,000 was paic
out on checks. Most of this was it
coin, and from San Francisco !50,00'
was received by telegraph.
The clearinghouse lono certificates tc
tho amount of $2,225,000 were taket
out. Most of thi.s it was thought, wai
for use in facilitating gold imports
which are expected to reach large pro
portions within the next two weeks
The total outstanding issue of eertiti
caates has now, reached S27.075.000.
This is the largest amount ever put in
to circulation, beating the record oi
1878 and lbOO

It has a surplus of $50,000 and undivid
ed profits of $18,000. Tho bank oc
cupies a fine building of its own. De
positors have made a heavy draw upon
the bank during tho past six weeks,
and owing to the money stringency, tho
bank was unable to realize upon its as

and Aaron Wagner, cashier. Assur
anco is given that tho bank will pay

SAYERS OF SILVER
They Are Gathering In Chicago
From All Parts.
AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION
Colorado Delegation tho First of Any Sir
to Fut in an Appearance An Anticl
patcd Attendance, of Over One Thou
and Interviews AVIth Several Leadlni
Delegate What 'Will lie Done?
Chicago, Aug. 1. Silverites fron
the east, the south and the west arrived
in the city yesterday. The western mei
predominated. They came in regulai
delegations, in organized bodies, whih
those from the south and east wen
fewer in number and from scattereC
sections. Th Colorado delegation wa.
the first of any size to put in an appear
anco. A hundred of them arrived a
the Palmer House at 0 o'clock in tht
morning twice thut number more ar
riving on tho night trains. It was tin
most representative of all delegations
and on account of the eminent men ii
the bodj'. Governor Waite is chair
man of the delegation, and immediate
ly upon his an ival he took possessioi
of tho headquarters in the Palmei
House and received a stream of callc rs
all day long.
"I shall not be a candidate for chair
man of tho convention." ho said, "anc
have not authorized the use of 1113
name. I havo no preference tor chair
man. Our delegation demands an ex
pression in favor of free coinage of sil
ver at tho ratio of 1 to 1(5. That is the
ratio and represents tho expense of sil
ver production with a slight margin oi
profit to the miner."
Among some of tho leading men ii
tho delegation are ex-Senators Hull
and Tabor, Judgo Rising and ex-Gov
ernor Routt. The latter said: "The
situation in Colorado has been grosslj
misrepresented. This talk about IO.Oir
idle men en route to the east is the
creation of in imaginative mind.
There aro not above 500 met
working tiieir way eastword in the
freight trains. We have not over 20,
COO people all told in tho state who were
thrown out of work. Wo are no worse
than other states and these misrepre
sentations are purposely made. Col
orado is all right. True values have
gone rapidly since the British govern
meut suspende 1 freo coinage in India,
but not much more than the reduction
of values in the east. Wo havo been
sandbagged by the money power whose
interest lies in tho further contraction
of the currency of the country, and
how men can be brought to belie e the
demonetization of ;tOU,000.000 of silver
will help the financial condition of the
country I cannot understand. This
scare of the past three months, which
has locked up bo much money in safe
deposits vaults is an object lesson of
tho effect of a contraction in the cir
culation that will not be lost upon the
people of tho country."
Ex-Senator Reagan, a new commis
sioner of railroads for Texas, was
among the first arrivals at the Grand
Pacific. Tho ex-senator lias not lost
his interest in freo silver which he once
championed in' congress, and is among
the most enthusiastic delegates to the
convention. A boom was started early
in the day for Mr. Reagan as perma
nent chairman of the convention which
assumed some proportions when Gen
eral Warner anuounced that ho would
not be a candidate for the chairman
ship and favored tho selection of Mr.
Reagan.
Among the southern men present
in the city is J. A. McDowell of Ten
nessee, chairman of the Peoples' party
committee of that state, and one of the
ablest and most astute politicians ir
the south.
Tho Kansas delegation, numbering
several hundred people, arrived last
night at tho Great Western hotel,
which is also the headquarters of the
Nebraska and Iowa delegations.
Chairman Harvey of the local com
mittee, whose headquarters are at the
office of Coin, in tho Montauk building,
anticipates an attendance of from 80G
to 1,500.
Mayor Harrison will deliver an ad
dress of welcome. A permanent organ
ization will bo formeel and committees
appointed on order of business and res
olutions, and an adjournment taken.
PURCHASING SILVER.
The Treasury Has Tailed to Tuichuso tin
Full Quota.
Washington, Aug. 1. For tho first
time since the passage of the Sherman
silver law tlio treasury last month
failed to buy tho full quota of 4,500,000
ounces of silver. Tho total purchase
for tho month was 2,884,000 ounces,
leaving a shortage of 2,110,000 ounces.
The amount purchased yesterday was
210,000 ounces at tho counter figure oi
$0.7030 per ounce.
The two Populist members of con
gress from Colorado Messrs. Pence
and Bell wore at tho treasury and had
an interview with Secretary Carlisle
and Acting Mint Director Preston.
They were in Mr. Preston's room at
the time he rejected all tho offers and
made tho counteroffer of $0.7030 cents
per ounce. Both of them wore much
concerned about what they claimed
was an effort of the treasury depart
ment to "bear" tho price of silver in
the markets of the world. Tho silver
men indicate a purposo to precipitate a
silver discussion on tho first working
day of the extra session of congress by
a resolution of inquiry as to whether or
not the secretary of tho treasury has
not exceeded his authority In refusing
to purchase 4,500,090 ounces of silver in
July aa provided by tho Sherman law.
