THE WRANGLE ENDED.
Lady Managers of the Worlds Fair Quit
Quarreling.


CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The board of lady
managers of the Worlds fair spent three
hours this afternoon in continuation of
their undignified squabble over the Ball
Meredith affair. Finally Mrs. Isabella
B. Hooker came to the front, and as re-
suit of her vigorous speech the whole
matter referring to the warfare of the
past three days was expunged from the
records, and a resolution adopted to pre-
vent it again being brought up.
A humorous feature of the day was the
arrival during the height of the squabbie
of delegation of women from all the
foreign villages in the Midway Plaisance.
They had been invited to visit the wo-
mans building in body and attend a
meeting of the board that they might see
what wonders their civilized sisters had
performed. Their impressions have not
been learned. Mrs. Palmer introduced
them to the board, and they were soon
sent on tour of the building under an
escort.
There was no special feature at the fair
today, but tomorrow will be a busy one
with the advent of the Knights of Pythlas,
dedication of the Virginia stats building,
and dedication OF the Walton house by
fishermen.

TREMENDOUS WRONGDONE.

Policy Arraigned.
ROBBERY OF THE NATIVE.
Heavy Losses Caused by the Closing
Of the MINIS.
The Act characterized as the Most Fla.
grant Act of Public Plumber Ever Per-
petrated by a Civilized Govern
ment-Chaplin's Address.

LONDON, Aug. s.-Gladstone announced
in the house of commons today that the
government intends to hold an autumn
session. This announcement was re-
ceived with loud cheering by the sup
porters of the government. The premier
added that no adjournment would be
lad till the remaining stages of the home
rule bill were passed and the supply was
voted.
Henry Chaplin asked leave to move an
adjournment of the house in order that
changes in the Indian government cur
rency system might be discussed. He
blamed the government for persistently
obstructing the discussion of this
question. He charged the gov
eminent with virtually mulctng
the natives of India by tampering with
the currency. The closing of the Indian
minis to the free coinage of silver had
necessarily led to such fall in the value
of that metal within month as the
world had neyer before known.
''There had been a tremendous wrong
done the people of India who held enor-
nous quantities of uncoined metal. By
single stroke the government had de-
preciated by 10 per cent. the value of sill
yer held by the population OF India. A
more Hagrant act OF public plumber had
never been perpetrated by civilized
government. Ii repeal by the Ameri-
can Congress of the Sherman
act should become inevitable it
would be due to an error that
had been committed in India. A further
fall in the price of silver must follow re-
peal OF the Sherman act. Frequently
during his remarks Chaplin was inter
rupted by cries OF hearI hearl Chaplin
demanded to know whether the govern
msnt, before taking action in India, had
any communication with the United
States government.
Mr.. William Vernon Harcourt chan
cellor OF the exchequer, declined to enter
into a general argument Of the course
taken by the government. He said it was
indicated by the royal commission OF
1888, which pointed out the dangerous
and mischievous effect which BIZ
metalliSm would have been in India, and
the government stood by those views.
Arthur James Balfour, Conservative
leader, said 1t was something approach
| ing lunacy for the chancellor to get up
! and tell the country that he regarded with
absolute Indifference what happened to
silver.
Dadabhai Naoroii, the parsee member,
who sits as a Liberal for Central Fensbury
division, protested that the natives of
India already felt the pinch of the change
and that they would soon awake through
suffering to the terrible wrong done them.
Mr.. VIM. Harcourt then moved closure
of debate, and the motion was carried
! without division.

SILVER LEGISLATION.
Senator Hill Introduces a Significant
Measure in the Senate.


Senator Hill Introduces a Significant
Measure in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Senator Vest
today introduced bill to fix the number
of grains of gold and silver in gold and
silver coins of the United States-the sill
yer dollar to contain 464 4-10 grains OF
pure silver or SIG grains of stan dard
silver.
Mr.. Vest also offered joint resolution
setting forth that the American people,
from tradition and interest, favor BIZ
metallism; that it is the established pol
lev of the United States to maintain q
parity between gold and silver, and that
it is the duty of Congress to speedily en-
act such laws as will effectually maintain
these objects.
The most significant bill introduced in
the Senate, perhaps, was one by Senator
Hill of New York. The measure he pre-
sented today leaves no doubt of his posi-
ton on financial issues. While repeating
the purchasing clauses of the Sherman
act it unqualifiedly pledges the country
to bimetallism. Senator Hill'S bill is as
follows:
ga bill to repeal certain sections of the
act of July IA, 1890, enJitled IAN act di-
recting the purchase of silver bullion and
issue treasury notes thereon ana for Otner
purposes, are hereby repealed"
section 2.-This repeating act, how
ever, is not to be construed as abandon
ing bimetailism, but it is hereby declared
that the policy of using both gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try shall be established, and to the ac-
complishment of that end the efforts of
the government shall be steadily and
safely Directed
Western people are felicitating them
selves tonight on the position assumed
by Senator Hill. They are pleased that
he should have SO unqualiiedly pledged
himself to bimetallism as to indicate a
Willingness to favor subsequent legisla-
ton looking to restoration of silver as a
money metal.

A BRIEF DOCUMENT.

No Measure Suggested to Take the Place
of the Sherman Law.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-The EUening
Bulletin, Republican, says; ''It is rather
a brief document and treats of single
question, namely, repeal of the Sher-
man act, without any suggestion as to
any measure to take its place. There is
not word about tariff. Hawaii, or a sus-
pension of the Geary act. Evidently his
expectation is that repeal OF the Sher-
man act viii be accomplished right out
OF hand. and that Congress will there
after adjourn. The robber tariff which
was pressing SO heavily upon us, accord
ing to Democratic authority sometime
ago, and other questions of Importance
that are pending, may now go over to the
regular session.
