WASHINGTON, June mfr. sherml ans
speech In opposition TO the bill for the
free coinage of gold and silver was the
feature In the senate yesterday. The
| first two hours Of the session were given
as usual TO the morning business and
TO the consideration Of bills on the cal.
endar, Of which thirty were passed.
There were few Of them, however, OF
any public Importance. During these
two hours the usual listlessness pre-
vailed In the senate, the average num-
Der OF senators present being not more
than twenty-five. But that listlessness
disappeared and the senate chamber
filled up AS Mr.. Sherman proceeded with
his speech. All around him on the re-
publican side of the chamber his
colleagues settled themselves in their
chairs and faced him with an
air Of marked attention. IL was
the same Of the democratic side. Dur
ing the two and half hours that Mr..
Sherman spoke but few senators left
the chamber. Fully seventy Of them
remained in their seats nearly all the
time, paying close attention 10 the ar
gument Mr.. Sherman's manner was
forcible, his voice clear and strong, and
he spoke like one who felt deeply the
Importance Of carrying conviction to his
hearers. Although he was interrupted
on several occasions he did not allow
himself TO be diverted from the course
which he had marked out for himself.

CANADA WILL NOT RESCIND.
The Rebate on Canal Tolls VIII Stand for
This Year.

MONTREAL, Aug. 16.-The Gazette, the
organ of the Dominion Government, in
an officially inspired editorial to-day says:
'.The government has decided not to re-
scind the Order of Council, granting a
rebate on grain passing through the St.
Lawrence canals this season. Next year,
however, different arrangements will be
made. A statement to this effect will be
sent to the Washington authorities, who
will also be informed of the reasons for
the Governments course. The rebate in
the first instance was granted for the
season, and reckoning upon it, contracts
have been made in which residents of
the United States, as well as Canadians
are interested. Very serious inconven-
ience and actual loss would follow sud
den withdrawal of the rebate at this per-
iod. This the government is anxious to
avoid. while at the same time it does not
desire to give occasion for acts of repris-
al. such as the recent legislation of Con-
oress provided for. The line of policy
taken should satisfy all, except perhaps,
the Ogdensburg elevator firms and their
associates, who, it is supposed, have been
behind the Government in the movement
for retaliation"

THEY PREFER A REPUBLICAN.
Louisiana Democrats Decide to Support 9
Ns Protectioniss for Congress. 4,

NEW ORLEANS, August 16.-The
movement begun among the sugar and
rice planters of the third district of this
state to elect a Republican to represent
that district in Congress is gaining
strength. 1t has the support of a large
number of Democrats, who sanction if
they do not assist in the scheme on the
plea that the tariff protected interests
of the district would be best promoted
by having Representative Republican.
The movement is in the hands of an as
sociation known as the Planters Protec-
tive Association, organized 10 days ago.
This organization includes some of the
leading Democrats of the district, among
others S. P. Heney, speaker of the Dem
ocratic House; ex-senator Drescon and
Messrs. PARA, Putnam, McVey and other
late members of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
The call for the organization declares
"Our present Congressman have been
attacking the tariff on rice and sugar.
Our Democratic friends do not try to ex-
plain this unreasonable attack on the
sugar bounty and rice tariff. We care
not as to part lines. What we want is to
sent man to congress that can get into
the workings of a party that is favorable
to our interests, and, further we want to
send a liberal man, a man that is in favor
of protecting our interests"

contraction of the whole group of mus

Turning Point in English Catholicism.
LONDON, August 16.-The ceremony

pallium.

TO FORCE A GOLD CRISIS.
One Million in Treasury Notes Offered for
Redemption.

NEW YORK, August 16.-A crucial test
of the policy of the government on gold
shipments was made yesterday when
Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co., who are
looked upon as the best texample of small
profit gold exporters, rendered 81, 900, 900
in treasury notes, which were issued on
account of siver purchases, and demand
ed for them $1,000, 900 in gold for ship
ment to Germany.
The Treasury officials at once paid out
the gold in exchange for the treasury
notes and the gold was carted away and
put on the steamer. The transaction ex-
cited some comment, as no home institu-
ton or banking firm has ever made a
like demand on the Treasury, and in
some quarters an impression prevailed
that the exporting firm took this step,
the profit on which in itself is too insig-
nificant for banking firm to consider,
for the purpose of forcing crisis.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts was at the
Sub Treasury while the gold was being
carted away. He admitted that it was
the first time such demand had been
made, although gold has heretofore been
given partly for old and partly for new
treasury uOUCSs 1lO oclo 1oA tiiOis
mo steps have been taken by the ad-
ministration to prevent or obstruct the
export of gold. The government stands
ready to meet all its obligations in gold
and will pay them all in gold. Its free
gold balance now amounts to $112.000,-
0O0''
Vice President Cannon of the Fourth
National Bank said he did not think
that the gold surplus would be reduced
at present, but that it would be increased
instead, as the Treasury is now receiving
gold from the Eastern banks for tram
Shipment to the West, and in the West is
paying out currency on account of these
shipments. By this step last year the
government increased it's gold holdings
$1400O,000.
WASHINGTON, August 16.-The Treas
ury officials while apparently uncon-
cerned over the recent gold shipments,
are generally observing universal reti-
cence. Acting Treasurer Whelphy says
he sees no occasion for any excitement
because the Assistant Treasurer of New
York yesterday paid out amillion dollars
in exchange for treasury notes. He said
today there was nothing unusual in the
transaction beyond the fact that gold
shipments seem continued a little later
this year than heretofore.

IRON HALL BANK
Has Assigned for Protection of Its Depos-
itors.


tual Banking, Trust and Safe Deposit
Co., has assigned. Assignee Stockwell
was asked the reason given for assign
ment and replied by referring to the re-
cent suit for receivership instituted
against the Iron Hall at indianapolis and
the fact that $43o. 900 of the orders mon
ey was on deposit in the bank.
"Lawyers on both sides in the receiv-
ership suit, he continued, with con-
sent and approval of Judge Taylor,
came here to take away the cash and Sc
curities of the bank and remove them to
indianapolis. Mr.. Krumbhaar, state SUI
perintendent of banking, has been work
ing with the plaintiffs with the undoubt-
ed intention of wrecking this Institution
and the Iron Hall. 1t was for the purpose
Of protecting its creditors and keeping
its assets within this jurisdiction that
the assignment was made.''
1.-THE bank. in my opinion, is perfectly
solvent" said the assignee, ''and able to
pay dollar for dollar"
Mr.. Stockwell declared it impossible
at this time for him to make statement
of the assets and liabilities of the institu-
ton. 1t is claimed blythe applicants for
receivership at indianapolis that $720, 900
of the Iron Halls funds are locked up in
the institution, and the Mutual Company
is also surety for the Iron Hall officers to
the extent of $4,000. The amount
on deposit is believed to include $4,000
said to have been advanced by the Su-
preme Justice of the order to make good
the impairment of the banks capital
which the state bank examiner discovered
last spring. There is also in the institution
$40, 1000 belonging to the Advance Bene-
fetal Order, a short term organization
which went down in the general crash of
such schemes about a year ago.
