lie affirmed that whatever he could do as a
member of the national congress to help
his constituents create or develop manu-
featuring industries in the west he would do.
THE CANNING INDUSTRY.
Mr.. Vance spoke of the canning business
as the largest industry i'll the United States,
and as being increased daily among the
people. The farmers alliance were en-
couraging the establishment Of small can
neries where the surroundings and products
were favorable. The United States was
the largest consumer of tin plate in the
world. The quantity imported last year
was 3S5, 600 tons. and yet instead of a reduc-
ton of the tin duty it was to be increased
from l to 2 lilo cents per pound. 4 at
would make an annual tax ON the people
OF the United States of SIS, 900 II it
took five years TO establish the business in
the United States that would be tax of
$15,0O0,000. He submitted that the tin
baby was not worth 30 much. IL was too
much to pay for little tin god on wheels
The tariff bill was laid aside temporarily
and Mr.. Allison reported from the appro-
priations committee the House joint resolu-
ton to continue the appropriatiol of last
year for the support OF the government IL
went over till tomorrow.
Tne tariff bill was again taken up and
the debate on tin plate resumed.
MIR. Gray added his voice to those who
had appealed in behalf OF the canning
industry. Without concluding Mr. Gray

The Democrats Determined That JUS
tice Shall be Done.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The republican
leaders of the House have determined to
ignore the John Roach estates claim for
$50, 900 loss sustained by the action Of Secre-
tary w hitney regarding the Dolphin and the
Puritan. They claim that there is no money
with which to pay it. The democrats do
not intend to permit it to be dismissed SO
cavalierly. They say the republicans charge
that John Roach was forced into bank
ruptcy and finally to his death
by the hostile course of the navy
department. They declare that if the
Roach claim is just it should be paid, and
they propose to force the republicans to go
on record. The Senate committee on ap-
preparations is now considering the propriety
of putting in the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill an item appropriating
100000 to pay this claim. If this is done
and the Senate approves it, it is understood
that that the democratic representatives
will vote for it,

PURCHASES OF SILVER.

The Governments New Law to Go
Into Effect Today.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The treasury de-
pa-tment has practically completed its
arrangements for the execution of the new
silver law, which goes into effect to-mor-
row. The bureau of engraving and print
ing has been employed night and day with
an extra force making the new treasury
notes required by the bill, but so far the
printing has been confined to notes of the
denominations of 81 900 and $100 Nineteen
million dollars in these notes was turned over
to Treasurer Huston to-day to receive the i'm
preston of the treasury seal, without which
they are of no value About S., ,O00, 900
were completed to-day, and were at once
shipped to the sub-treasury at New York
for use in payments for silver to be pur-
chased tomorrow under the terms of the
departments circular of Aug last. Pur-
chases made elsewhere than at New York
will be paid for in drafts on the assistant
treasurer at that city till provisions can be
made for supplying the other sub-treasuries
with new notes.
SUPPLY EXPECTED.
1t is expected that the department will
soon have on hand supply of new notes of
each denomination from 81 to 81 900 suffi-
cient to meet all reasonable demands, and
tney VIII be promptly distributed TO the
sub-treasuries. The department has already
purchased 900 ounces of silver this
month, completing the quota required under
the present law, and will purchase during
the remainder of the month 2,780.0O0
ounces, the amount required under the
provisions Of the new law, being for nine
teen days at the rate of 500, 600 ounces per
month. 1t is expected that to-morrow's
offerings will be heavy, as intimations have
been received from dealers of offers to the
amount of 100000 ounces. Director
Leacl of the mint bureau, who will have
charge of the purchases, says he does not
propose to make public either the rates
offered or accepted. He will give out only
the amount purchased.
THE SILVER STANDARD.
LONDON. Aug. 12.-The Times believes
that the eventual result of the American
silver coinage act will be the adoption by
America of the silver standard.

IYDIANPoLIs, IND, Aug. 12-Ten acres
of the farm of Thomas Habon, three miles
north of Waldron, have been destroyed for
farming purposes. Great holes have been
blown in the earth. The course OF the Flat
Rock creek has been turned up stream.
Birds, snakes and rabbits are dead, while
fish are thoroughly cooked in the heated

BELCHED FORTH FLAME.
No fire was blazing in the midst Of the ten
acres when, without warning, the earth
belched forth its fame. Great trees were
hurled skyward and the waters Of Flat

gas are the cause of the phenomenon, butt
the general conviction is that no other
agency could have produced the effect On

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.--At the Grand

existed evidence of q strike. Passenger
trains we're coming in and going out with
all the appearance Of their usual regularity.
The inflow and outflow of passengers was
as great as ever, and excepting for the
presence of an unusual number of policemen

of the depot the most careful obser yer
would be unable to pc ceive any linger ing
indications of the tieup that on Fri lay

at S:30 o'clock this morning, and found
there awaiting him a telegram
from the assistant superinten dent
of the Syracuse yards stating that order
had been fully restored there, and that
trains were running without interruption.
This, he said, ended the strike.
Vice President Webb, who also reached
his office at $3.50 o'clock this morning, said
passenger trains would be run to-day on
he same schedule as yesterday.
CONFIDENCE THE STRIKERS.
Notwithstanding the statement of the
officers of the New York Central

broken, and the apparent belief Of
the public in these assertions, the strikers
themselves are still confident that the crisis
has not yet been reached, and that before

LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.

Papers Published in Foreign Coun
tries Not to be Excluded.
WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-The House anti
lottery bill was favorably reported to the
Senate to-day from the postoffice committee,
with an amendment providing that news
papers published in foreign countries shall
not be excluded from the mails under the
provisions of the bill, unless in the opinion
of the Postmaster General they are being
circulated for the purpose of advertising lot
terry schemes in violation of the law.
UPHELD BY THE COURTS.
Accompanying the bill is letter dated
July 81 from Attorney General Miller, Civ
ing an opinion upon the other anti-lottery
bills before the committee. Legislation of
this character that is, designed to exclude
newspapers containing lottery advertise
ments from the mails,), says the Attorney
General, has been upheld by the courts, and
it seems to be settled that it is competent
for congress to authorize the Postmaster
General to refuse the use of the mails
to persons engaged in the lottery business.
He thinks there can be no question of the
power of congress to make the mailing of
lottery letters, circulars, ETC., a continuous
offense to and including the place of de-
livery, or at least there can be no question
that it is competent for congress to make
the offense punishable. The decision of the
supreme court in the Pallieser case is
directly in point. 1t is generally believed
on the republican side of the House that a
special order will be made setting apart
Saturday next for the consideration of the
auti-lottery bill Every effort is being made
to secure the presence of a republican
quorum on that day.
