SILVER DEFEATED.
A Resolution In the House to Take up the
silver Bill y voted Down.


On Wednesday the 18th, Mr.. Catchings
(Dem.) of Mississippi offered the resolution
FROM the committee on rules setting apart
that day and Thursday for the consideration
OF the silver bill.
Mr.. Bland opened the debate for the free
silver advocates and presented an amend
ment forbidding any dllatory motions after
p. M, when vote was TO be, taken on the
bill If the resolution of the committee on
rules was adopted.
Mr.. Bartine Rep.) of Nevada supported
the resolution and appealed to his colleagues
to pass the resolution.
Mr. Clark (Dem.) of Alabama opposed the
resolution.
Mr.. Patterson of Tennessee said he would
vote for the previous question on the resolu'
| tion, but on the final vote he would vote
against the bill. The Democratic party stood
| together for tariff reform, home rule, states
| rights, but they were divided on the silver
question. The Republican party had ten
dered a protective tariff and a force bill 4:
the issues of the campaign. 1t should be .
fair and square fight on the great political
issues. Silver was not an issue, as both par
ties were divided upon it.
| Then the Republicans put forward their
leader Mr.. Reed, (Rep.), of Maine, who made
a characteristic speech in which he denoune
ed the silver bill.
Mr.. Pierce (Dem.), Of Tennessee, followed
with n ringing speech in support of the rcso
! luton. He said that he would cast his VOTE
in accord with his action heretofore Th'
| silver bill was in strict accordance with The
doctrines OF the Democratic party. Its lead
ers have said that 1t was in favor of free ST
yer. Ee desired to say to some of the gen
\ tlemen who had spoken, referring to Mr.
Clark of Alabama, and Mr.. Patterson o
Tennessee, that they had repudiated the plat
form of their states and Of the national con
vention. Tremendous applause by free sill
yer menl
Mr.. Culberscn Dem.), Of Texas, came Il
the relief of the silver advocates in the mos
effective speech OF the day. He inquired why
! were the galleries crowded with people and
what meant the large attendance in the pres
galleriesi This was not n tariff debate, 1

TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
The Governor Of PennsyIvsnia Order
5000 Militia to Homestead-


5000 Militia TO Homestead
The eutire division Of the national guard o,
Pennsylvania about 5000, have been ordered
to Homestead to support Sheriff McCIeary 10
suppressing the riots at that place. Thi.
action Of the governor waa taken on receipt of
the following dispatch;
PTTTsBURs, Pa, July 10.
Robert F Pattisou, Governor, Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania.
The situation al Homestead has not i'm
proved. While all is quiet there, the strikers
are In control aud openly express TO me and
to the public their determination that the
works shall not be operated unless by them
selves After making all efforts in my power,
have failed To secure posse respectable
enough In numbers 70 accomplish anything
and l am satisfied that no posse raised by
civil authority can DO anything to change the
condition Of Affairs, and that any attempt by
an Inadequate force 10 restore the right Of law
will only result In further armed resistance
and -consequent loss OF life. Only a large
military force will enable me to control mat
tiers. II such force Il sent the disorderly
element will be oyerawed and order will be re-
stored. therefore call upon you 70 furnish
me such assistance. (siguedl
WILLIAM Il. McCLE.RT, Sheriff.
Governor Pattlson, as commsnder-in-ehlef
of the national guard, at once issued the fol-
lowing order.
George R. snowden, Major General Com
manding National Guard of Pennsylvania:
Put the division under arms and move at
once with ammunition to support the sheriff
of Allegheny county at Homestead. Main
tain the peace, protect all persons in their
rights under the constitution and laws Of the
state. Communicate with me
(signed) ROBERT E. PATrIsoS,
Governor
The news when received at Homestead
created the greatest excitement At mid
night the horrible fear took possession Of the
strikers that the company might even sneak
Pinkerton men in the disguise of workmen
while the militia hold possession, and as such
a move would mean practical triumph over
the strikers, the suspicion has caused great
perturbation. Altogether the strikers are 10
= very uneasy frame Of mind, and their anx-
ious faces give evidence Of their excitement
1t is possible that feeling Of desperation
over the prospects may cause the hotter heads
TO counsel violence to the militia, but It Is
safe 10 say such suicidal policy will not be
approved by the majority, and If lndorsed by
the more ignorant workmen will be carried
out only in the face Of determined opposition
from the leaders.

GRAIN AND HAY.
Weekly Statement Issued by G. w
Morrow q Co.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 9th.
WHEAT-Receip for the week, SOS, 92S
centals. The new crop is now in full swing;
but offerings are free and the market has
ruled soft and easy all the week On the first
OF the month stocks III all call board ware
houses Including Port Costa and Stockholm
aggregated 80, 142 tons. On the first of Au-
gust last year there We're lO3 257 tons in the
same warehouses. Unless something unfor-
seen occurs in the European markets, the
market here Is likely to remain stationary for
the next few months, but there Is good reason
to hope for better prices later on, as the Weld
is not coming up to early expectations.
BARLEG-Receipts for the week, 141432
centalS. The demand for heavy new Barley
continues good. Barley which is heavier than
No. feed and not quite up TO the brewing
standard sells freely to exporters at 95097I5c.
Cheyalier is in very light supply and nattir-
ally there is but little doing in the way of sales
for export. Bright teed is firmly held and the
market closes steady at our quotations. The
quiet but steady export movement now in
progress is bound to have its effect upon
prices later on.
OATS-ReceiptS for the week 9,IS3 centals,
mostly new CALIFORNIA; of poor quality. The
receipts OF Oregon oats continue very light
ana stocks IN city warehouses on the LIST inst.
showed a reduction Of 4 90 tons tor the month.
There We're but i 80 tons in city warehouses
on August 1st, and the bulk of this was made
up OF new CALIFORNIA;. Practically speaking
there are no good old oregon oats 10 be mad
here, and shipments of same would command
prices very satisfactory to the shippers. This
condition of affairs cannot last long, and we
would advise our friends to take advantage OF
1t as soon as possible.
HAY-Receipts for the week 4,237 tons.
Except for choice wheat and choice river al
falfa the market is dull and weak. The great
trouble is that the receipts are not only heavy
and largely in excess of the demand but the
great bulk of the hay now coming in Is of very
inferior quality. Such hay Is complete drug
on the market.
