SURPRISE IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Failure OF n Big Firm That Was Con-
sidered In Good Circumstances.


NEw YORK, Sept. i.-The firm Of Saw
yer, Wallace a Co., exporters Of bread
stuifs and cotton and dealers in leaf to-
bacco, created great surprise in business
circles to-day by making an assignment
TO Marshall Ayres. The firm were inti-
mated TO be worth between a million and
a quarter and n million and half dollars
above all liabilities. They we're prompt
in paying for local purchases and re-
sponded promptly also when called upon
10 margin their contracts. A short time
ago a statement was made 10 the effect
that the firm were worth more Than
one million and half dollars that their
liabilities were merely nominal and that
they did commission business only.
When the announcement of the failure
was made to-day rumor gained circula-
tion to the effect that the firm were specu-
lating largely of late in cotton and the
market had gone against them. IL was
also said the firm had been speculating in
grain and lost heavily. Ii is believed the
firm have pretty well protected their in
tcrests in this country and their chief
losses, which may reach Sl,500,00O, will be
in London and mainly on their own pro-
perty. A statement Of liabilities and as
sets will he made as soon as possible.
Houses on Wall street say the cause of
the failure was the result of the efforts
made by the firm TO squelch competition
in the commission business by doing a
commission business with European
spectators without margin and small
commission. In pork deal last January
the firm Is said 10 have sustained loss oi
| N,0O,OOO. On this account claims for
these losses against the European specu.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Cummings of
New York, rising to question Of privi-
leges, protested against his blacklisting
by the famous Cannon resolution. The
gentleman who offered the resolution
made unjust imputations and in making
these imputations he falsified the record
and blacklisted himself. He then pro-
ceeded to make an attack upon Cannon,
comparing him to the noted Tinnoelli Of
the French revolution. He then proceeded
to arraign the speaker and the majority
OF the committee on rules. Cummings
was frequently interrupted with the point
of order that he was not conflning him
self to the question of personal privi-
leges. Cummings proceeded with ar
raignment of the speaker, but after fire.
quent Interruptions asked unanimous con-
sent to present the remainder Of
his remarks in the Record. Consent was
refused by Kerr and Donnell. Cummings

been lost. He then went on TO speak OF
another method OF construction Of calling
the roll. "With 80 members il takes g
minutes TO make a roll call Whenever
the yeas and nays are ordered IL means a
loss OF half an hour. So far this season
we have had 400 roll calls. Three hun
dred OF these have been utterly useless, a
mere wanton waste. Three hundred
roll calls mean % legislative days
wasted In mere useless calling over Of
names, and all done To waste time with
public business unfinished. But in clos
ing, l have to say il would not be Just to
rest the claims Of the house upon even the
catalogue of its great deeds. What the
house has shown the country that any
house can do is worth princess ransom.
Henceforth the promise cannot be ex-
cused but by performance. II we have
broken precedents of hundred years
we have set precedents of another hun
dred years, nobler than the last, wherein
the responsibility will wait on power and
wherein the people, with full knowledge
that their servants can act, will choose
those who will worthily carry out their
will"

kennedy's Attack ON Quay Creates Alarm
In the Republican Camp.

hennedys Attack ON quay Creates Alarm
I'm the Republican Camp.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Much indigna-
ton is expressed among the republican
senators over Representative Kennedy's
attack on the senate as whole and Quay
in particular. Yesterday a general con-
sultation was held, but no plan of action
agreed upon. A prominent senator said
that il, after a time, the house took no
action, the senate should pass resolu-
ton calling the attention of the
house TO an unparliamentary pro-
ceeding and then leave il to deal
with the question as il saw fit. But this
action would depend upon the manner
in which the knowledge of the delivery OF
the speech reached the senate (Kennedy's
remarks do not appear in to-day's con,
gressional Record, the reporter noting that
they are withheld for revision, and unless
they come before the senate i'm the Record
or some other authoritative way, il may
be that nothing will be done.l Quay
knew nothing OF the delivery of the speech
until this morning, and after his arrival
at the senate he conferred with several OF
his colleagues, spending a considerabl,
time with ingalls,. He said to a reporter
that he had not determined what cours,
TO pursue. He had under consideration
the making of a statement under the rule
governing questions Of personal priv
leges.

ton goods exported into those countries
by Great Britain last year being SIT, ,O00,-
