WASHINGTON, Sept. IL. - The vice.
president laid before the senate today a
letter from the treasury department in
relation to the redemption of silver cer-
tificates. Itstated that 81, ,273, ,267 notes
provided for by the Sherman act were
redeemed in silver coin during August,
1892; that $l74,061, ,242 (coinage value)
of silver bullion purchased under the
act and subject to coinage, is now held
in the treasury.
In reply to resolution Secretary Car
Isle also sent to the senate statement
to the effect that during August and the
first seven days OF September, the de-
partment redeemed in silver coin
81, ,473 874 in treasury notes; that only
$36, ,0S7, 1876 silver had been coined under
the law, and that no paper money was
redeemed by the payment of gold since
the 4th of March except gold certificates
that had been cancelled.
Stewards resolution for committee to
ascertain whether any senator was
financially interested in any national
bank went over till tomorrow.
The repeal bill was taken up, and
Mitchell of Oregon addressed the senate
against the bill.
While Mitchell was speaking, Stewart
called attention to the absence OF a
quorum. The roll was called and So
senators responded.
Mitchell resumed his speech. He
favored tree coinage and said while he
would be willing as last resort 70
change the ratio in order to secure free
coinage, he believed it should be de-
creased to 151a to /.
Mitchell dwelt upon the surprising
Importance of the question which con-
fronted congress, and discussed the
cause which produced the recent dis
tressed condition of the country. He
maintained that the Sherman law was
in no degree responsible for it, and yet
its repeal was to be brought about be-
cause of the clamor from the banking
interests. There was no danger of the
United States becoming the dumping
ground for foreign silver. It was
needed for money purposes and could
not be spared.
Mitchell referred to the disastrous
effects OF the depreciation OF silver on
Ine interests OF the farmers. The
money changers of Lombard street and
the uncomfortable stock gamblers of
Wall street waited with ill-concealed
anxiety the result OF the vote that

A GRAND FIzzLE.

Small Attendance at the Businessmen'G
Anti-sf1ver Congress.
WASHINGTON, Sept.12.-The national
congress OF businessmen met today. One
hundred representatives of the boards of
the principal cities were present. D. R.
James of New York called the assem-
blage to order, saying the object of tho
meeting was to call for the immediate
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, and to consider the fnan-
cial interests of the country. B. HI,
Warner, Of Washington, was chosen
temporary chairman.
The attendance was rather disappoint-
ing, scarcely one-tenth of those who re-
eponded to the invitation sent out by
the New York board of trade and trans-
portation coming. However, at the
time the invitations were sent out the
monetary stringency had not developed.
The invitation announced the object of
the meeting to be the discussion of the
financial interest ofthe country, and to
ask this national congress to repeat the
Sherman act. Mr.. Warner In his ad-
dress spoke OF this, and said 1t was also
intended to ask congress- for the appont-
ment of national non-partisan COM
miseion to consider future financial
legislation.
Ex-Governor StannRrd of Missouri waa
selected president of the meeting, and q
vice-president was chosen from each of
the states represented. 4a
When the committee on resolutions
reported, an effort was made to hitch on
free silver clause in place of the anti
silver section, but the attempt was
failure.
The resolutions declare that failure to
repeal the purchase clause of the Sher-
man law will plunge the business iuter-
ests of the country into a more serious
crisis than that from which they arc
now beginning to emerge.
TheApresident is authorized, if he
deems it necessary in the future, to call
another conventionlto continue the work
already begun.
After disposing of other matters, the

The Nom Enforcement of the

An Official Statement on the
Subject.
Attorney-General Olney Shoulders
the Responsibility.
He Persists That There Are No Funds
for Its Enforcement = Chinese
Elated Over the Admin
istration's Policy.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE first au.
thoritative statement issued by the Off
cials OF the government in regard to the
Geary Chinese exclusion act since the
recent agitation concerning it's enforce
ment or non-enforcement, was made by
Attorney General O!ney today. 1t is as
follows:
'sThe. statement that any actiou has
recently been taken by the president or
secretary of state relative to the nom
enforcement of the sixth section of the
so-called Geary act, ia without founda-
ton. Al that has been done since the
original instructions given concurrently
to the revenue officials and to marshals
and the deputies, by thasecretary of the
treasury and the department Of justice,
has been done by this department..
1T having been held by Judge Ross
of California that warrants could issue
for violation of said sixth section on the
complaint of private individuals, and
complaints having been in fact made
and warrants issued in various instances,
marshais and their deputies have been
instructed that q warrant issued by the
court must be ser, cd, and any orders for
deportation subsequently, made in such
case, must be put lnto execution to the
extent of any funds available for that
purpose.
''Deportations have not actually been
made, however, for this reason. In all
cases of warrants issued as above stated,
writs OF habeas corpus have been applied
for, and being denied, appeals have been
taken from such denial. In that state
of things, rule 80 of the United States
supreme court, expressly authorized by
statute, forbids any change of custody
pending appeal. The language is:
Pending an appeal from the final decis-
ion of any any court or Judge declining
to grant writ af habeas corpus, the
rszutS,ssy y OF tho priSo1I5r shall NOT be dis
turbed.' The result is, that in all cases
OF the kind referred, the parties
in the custody of marshal
or his deputies at time when
appeals are takon from orders refusing
writs OF habeas corpus, must continue
in euch custody pending such appeal,
and can be deported, ii at all, only after
! the judgment upon such appeals is in
favor OF this government"
Vice President Stevenson laid before
the senate today letter from the Sec
retary OF the treasury stating that there
was available on the 7th instant for the
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
act $63, SOP.

TARIFF TINKER1Na.
Wool Men Protest Against Reduction
of the Duty.

Wool Men Protest Against u Reduction
of the Duty.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA large dele
cation OF wool men appeared before the
ways and means committee today.
Charles H. Clark of Philadelphia, repre-
senting the Manufacturers club, said he
believed the depression affecting manu-
fsctures to be due in part to the appre-
hension entertained by manufacturers
that there would be a fulfillment of the
threat of radical changes in the duties
on imported materials. Manufacturers
were afraid to buy. Many mills had
ceased operations completely; much
greater were running upon short time.
Many had already been compelled to re-
duce wages. He expressed the opinion
that relief may be afforded Immediately
by 9the assurance that the committee
would not assail the tariff law in such 8
manner as to expose manufacturers to
unequal competition from Europeans
working with a lower wage scale.
S. N. d. North of Boston read resolu-
tions adopted by the National Wool
Manufacturers association. which laud-
ed the Mckinley bill and deprecated the
passage of any measure to reduce the
tariff schedules on wool.
Theodore Justice of Philadelphia as
sumed that it was the intention of the
committee to put wool on the free list,
and anticipated that such action would
destroy the second largest agricultural
industry in the country. He declared
that the cost of transporting wool from
one portion Of this country to another
was IL per cent greater than the cost OF
transportation from foreign countries to
America. He said the wooden mills
throughout the country were being
closed daily, and attributed it to the
fact that President Cleveland had said
that within few months wool would
be placed on the free list.

ci6c railroad has notified its connec-
tions east and north that the Southern

Santa Fe system, has made s4 cut in
