Rogers Of Arkansas made this text for
an attack on the Speaker. A few days ago
the House had listened to h0milies on a
free ballot and fair count. Why, u fair
count could not be obtained even In the
House. He then proceeded TO quote from

us an apology for the Elections Committee.
Commenting on the fact that recently

An Editorial Comment en- the Operation Of
the Conference Silver Bill

an Editorial comment en- the operation OF
the Conference Silver Bill.
NEW YORK, July 10.-Commenting on
the conference report of the Silver Bill the
Tribune says: The main fact which Sena-
tor Sherman does not make prominent is
that no purchases are required beyond the
quantity which may be offered in each
month at market price. II is quite possible
that in any month or several consecutive
months the quantity offered at market
price may be less than 4.500,00o ounces.
The Treasury is not required in that case
to purchase the full quantity either
then or in any succeeding month. In the
absence of any law fixing the mode of de-
termlning the market price the Secretary is
obviously required to consider the price in
one or more foreign markets. The opera
tlon OF this provision would seem likely to
cause 4 steadier market and more gradual
rise than has been expected. The danger
of a decline to a silver basis would seem to
be much more remote than it has been, and
the notes 10 be Issued are redeemable lin
gold or silver coin," at the discretion of the
Secretary. No Secretary of either party
Will venture to expose his party to utter de-
struction by bringing about commercial
straits by forcing payments in silver coin
when that can be avoided.

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, July 10.-1n the House of Lords
this evening Lord Salisbury moved for
second reading of the bill providing for the
cession of Heligoland to Germany. He
generally belittled the Importance of the
island 10 England and magnifed the advan-
tages to be derived from its transfer.
Referring to the African clauses in the
Anglo-German agreement, he argued that
as long as With was in the hands Of an
other power, English interests to the north
ward could be interfered with. Under the
convention there was not the slightest
chance for such interference until the con-
fines Of Europe were reached.
p. He urged that an exclusive English pro-
tectorate over Zanzibar would assist in the
suppression of the slave trade and develop
the commerce of England and India. There
was no reason, he said. to apprehend any
difficulty over the convention with any Eu-
rOpean powe
After debate by Lord Rosebery and the
Earl Of Kimberly the bill was passed to a
second reading.

GERALDINE's RIDER.
Michael Kelly Given an overhauling by an
Eastern Paper


NEW YORK, July 10.-At the Monmouth
races to-day Porter Ashes Geraldine came
in third in the sixth race. The Tribune
says; If subscription paper was
passed around at all the great Eastern
race-courses and turfmen generally
were asked to subscribe to hand
some testimonial to Michael Kelly
on condition that he would never
ride Geraldine again, that worthy and ex-
celIent young man would be enriched in
few minutes by an enormous
sum of money. Last year Geral-
dine ran in twenty-one races and
won thirteen of them. Kelly rode her only
once in public. and then she was beaten.
This year Kelly, who managed Ashes
stable, has been more aspiring
and ambitious. Geraldine has run in
eight races in 1890 and has won ouly one of
them, when she was ridden in fine style
by Taylor. Kelly has ridden her
in four out of her seven defeats.
With all due respect to Kelly's
many excellent qualities 1t may be respect
fully submitted that TO very few human
beings since the world began has IL been
given to excel both as trainer and Jockey
at the same time.

New YORK, July 10. : A Tribune edi-
torial on the Behring Sea tomorrow will
say: Congress has acted wisely in calling
for the correspondence on the controversy.
This is evidence, says the editorial, that
Lord Salisbury is advancing some most
absurd contentious. There is some reason
to believe that q certain quality
of menace has been impaired to his lat
ter notes. Somescurious military and naval
operations have been going on lately about
our coast Great Britain has been strength
ening her splendid defenses at Halifax, in.
creasing her military and naval forces
there, adding 10 her fleet at Bermudas and
Bahamas, and sending considerable
squadron to the Behring Sea. If she de-
sires this display to be interpreted by the
United States as a menace she is engaged
in a foolish and regretable business. 1t
is not agreeable to a spirited people
to feel that an effort is being made to awe
them into submission by display of en-
gines of force. We can imagine no proceed
ing on England's part more likely to con-
vince American people that the Behring
