PROGRESS OF THE FIGHT
1 Schsm, For Taking q fsst Vote in
the Senate.
THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE
Salt Lake Answers Boston's Circu-
lar and Says "0od Forgive
Them For They Know Not
What They Do"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The session of
the house to-day was not marked by any
animated debate, but 1t Was significant in
showing inroads made in the ranks of the
irec coinage men. McCreary OF Kentucky
oponed tho silver debate. Speaking OF
the repeal Of the silver purchase clause,
he said lie would not hold that act % o
hostage to free coinage. Free coinage
should stand on its own merits. But the
only path which should lead to the free
coinage OF silver was an international
agreement and the only way to reach that
agreement was to repeal tho purchasing
clause.
Catchings, democratic, said he would
7ote for the unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
and lie would vote against any proposition.
directly or indirectly, to effect the free.
coinage of silver in this country at this
time at any ratio that would be suggested.
He had come to this determination after
careful consideration and after careful
study of the Chicago platform. II had
been said that no democrat could vote
against free coinage. He was democrat.
His democracy was as good rs that of any
man OH this floor. and he would not allow
any man to challenge or question II. He
stood by every plank of the Chicago plat.
form but that platform which demanded
the free coinage of silver at this time. He
was In favor of the repeal Of the purchas-
ing clause OF the Sherman act, because it
would tend to restore confidence.
Livingston of Georgia concurred in tho
sentiment expressed by tho gentleman
from Mississippi, that in considering this
question representatives should rise above
party. He favored bimetallism, and tho
PLAIN question now presented was between
u single gold standard and bimet allism.
He denied that the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law was responsible for the
present financial and business troubles.
Richards of Ohio believed President
Cleveland right in attributing 10 the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman bill the
present business depression. The house
then took a recess until 8 o'clock.
At the evening session of the house Cur
tis, republican, of Kansas, spoke in con-
servative manner in support Of the Wilson
bill. He is in favor Of ratio of 20 to
and would establish o commission with
authority to change tho ratio at any time
il is found too large or too small. Brod-
erick, republican, of Kansas, spoke in
favor of bimetallism and prosperity,
which terms he regarded as almost syn
onymous. The next speaker, Clark, dem
ocrat, of New Jersey, addressed the house
in favor of the free coinage Of silver. At
the conclusion of his remarks the house,
at 1880, adjourned.

MIssoULA, Aug. 19.-The case OF Doc
Howard, charged with an assault to COM
init murder. was before the -.strict court
to-day. Webster and Wood, attorneys for
the defense. withdrew aud ). Camp5eli,
of Butte, took their place, The jury was
easily obtained from tho regular panel
and Thomas Bower. the man Howard
shot. was called 10 the witness box by the
state. His account OF the quarrel over tho
poker game and tho fight following was
substantially as reported in the STANDARD.
As to the shooting, he stated he was about
to leave tho saloon when shot was fired.
On this point there were material differ
ences in tho testimony OF various wit
nesses. Kohn and Dunham, witnesses
for the prosecution, testified that Bower
was walking as il to go out OF the saloon.
Frank Chrisman, for the defense, swore
that Bower was walking toward the de-
fendant as IL to attack him. There was
also direct contradiction OF the testimony
as to what was said Immediately before
the shooting. Judge Evans testified as to
Howard jumping his bonls, and tho
deputy sheriff testified to catching him in
Miles City.
When the evidence was all in, the case
looked bad for the defense. much depend
ing on the credibility of Chrisman. Mr..
Campbelrs argument covered every pos
sible point in tho defense and was an able
effort. Tho case went to the jury at
6p. IN.
Mr.. Campbell has becn retained for the
defense IN the mining case OF George
Milsop. Judge Hiram Knowles is i'll and
confined TO his room.

VARIOUS TAX MEASURES
The Company That Proposes to

Covernm snt.

BERLIN. Aug. lo.-wnh the retirement
of Baron Won Maltzahn from the head OF
the treasury is supposed to vanish what.
ever element of obstruction the policy OF
DIR. MIGUEL. the Prussian minister OF
finance. could meet In financial circles.
Count Wcsner. the new head OF the treas-
ury. will inaugurate his career by presid-
ing over q series of conferences to be held
by delegates from the federated states on
tho new taxation propositions. Accord
ing TO the sem.-otficial press, all federal
states are now agreed that the tax on
bourss transactions should be doubled aud
a graduated tax be imposed on wines
and tobaccoes. The proposal to place .
tax OH advertisements has been entirely
withdrawn from consideration. The Vos-
sisch Zsitaag says the new expenditures
incurred, or to be incurred, through the
adoption of the army bill nccessltates
raising only one million marks by new
imposts, but 1t Is certain that DR.. MIGUEL
will find majority in tho reichstag for
whatever measures he may propose, pro.
vided the new taxation he so distributed
rs to weigh little Oh tho people who can
least bear further burdens.
Count Wesncr's appointment TO the inn
perial secretar, ship of the treasury helps
to widen the breach already existing be-
tween Germany aud Russia. 1t was caused
mainly by the customs tariff war now be-
ing waged between the two powers. The
new secretary is a Pole and II Is supposed
his sentiments are anti-Russian. The
tariff war remains in statu quo. Advices
from every commercial center sh ows that
Russia is feeling the pinch of the war se-
verely. Throughout Southern Russia the
prices Of all grains are falling.
