Vest's Victory.
Washington, Aug. 12 It is re
ported that there was a very signifi
ciut occurrence iu the senate finance
committee on Thursday. A motion
was made authorizing Ibe chairman
to introduce a bill to so amend the
law governing the issue of the na
tioual bank notes as to permit the
issue of notes to the par value of the
bonds deposited as security therefor.
This was agreed to, after a discus
siou, by a majority of one.
Then it was proposed to author
ize the chairman to report a bill lo
repeal the silver purchase clause of
the Sherman law, whereupon Mr.
Vest is said to have made a speech
denouncing the proposition and no
tifyiug its friends that no bill which
ignored silver could pass the senate
a at present constituted. Tjnder
the influence of the remarks of Mr.
Vest, the committee unanimously
reconsidered its action on the silytr
question and adjourned.

AITROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATION.
The propsitiou was greatly situ
plified later by the action cf confer
ence held at the residence of Secre
tary Carlisle at which nearly forty
gentlemen including the leaders of
the anti sdverites, were present A
general discussion of the proposition
submitted by the anti silver commit
tee was had and it was decided to
take the affirmative in every propo
sition. The conference lasted nearly
two hours, and at its conclusion
those
in attendance congratulated
themselves that the action taken wa
the best under the circumstances.
Messrs. Rayuor and Cockran then
drove out to Woodier and had a
brief conference with the president
over the result of the caucus at Sec
retary Carlisle's. Mr. Cleveland ap
proved the programme as it was ex
plained to him and urged his visitors
to pat it through without relaxing
their efforts on any account. He
was especially emphatic in enjoining
the anti-eilver men to insist upon
J securing the affirmative in the fight
and to avoid compromises, which,
Ee said, could only weaken a good
cause.
CONFEREES EARLY TO WORK.
The conference of the opposing
forces on the silver question was
called for 10 o'clock this morning
and the eagerness aud anxiety of
eacn 8Uie was Inae apparent by tne
early arrival of the parties to the
conference, for at 9:45 they were
nearly all present in the judiciary
committee room. The silver men
have not yet arrived at a conclusion
upon the last proposition from the
other side providing that the repeal
bill should take precedence, but that
opportunity should be given for
votes upon different ratios and oth-
jer plans of the silver men. Just be
fore the conference began they
stated that they could not express
an opinion as to whether the propo
miuutes of the time for the opening
of the 'session when a complete
agreement was reached on every

Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 13.
About $2,000,000 worth of property
went up in flames this afternoon.
Over 200 houses are burned and at I
east 1,500 persons are rendered
homeless. This is the record made
by the destroying element iu the
short space of two bourn. A kind
Providence, and not the fire depart
ment or the feeble efforts of the
owners of threatened property,
saved the greater portion of the
manufacturing and residence por
tions of the east side. The tire had
gained such headway that no human
agency could quench it, aud only a
ckauge in the direction of the wind
prevented an awful conflagration.

The damages claimed are 30.000
