A good many of the leaders OF the
House are very anxious to have the tax
on State banks repealed, but there will
be a number Of other propositions press
ed and it Is believed that there will be
q strong following for a national
banking system based on the old
New York banking law which Horace
White has adapted to our present Ma
tional bank system, doing away with
the deposit of bonds by National banks
to secure their currency and securing 1t
instead by a safety fund acquired from
. per cent. tax on bank circulation.
A bill for this purpose will be intro
duced as soon as Congress meets, and 1t
is believed that it or something similar
TO 1t will be reported TO the committee.
With relation to the suggestion that
Messrs. Morgan, Pugh, Daniel, Teller,
Stewart, and Wacott, will conduct a
fibuster ia the Senate against the re-
peal of the Sherman law without free
coinage attached, it is said that the
public sentiment in Alabama and Vir-
ginia is such as to make this action on
the part of the two Senators and Mr..
Daniel dangerous TO their personal in
terests, and the opinion is expressed in
quarters to make it worthy Of consider
alton that while these three men will
probably fight for free coinage and re-
Sist the repeal of the Sherman law, un-
less they can get free coinage, they will
not carry their opposition to the extent
Of flibuaering, and that Mestrs. Stew
art and Teller will be deserted by the
Democratic colleagues of the silver
faith if they begin a flibuster.

Rear Admiral Markham Gives Evidence
Concerning the Victoria Disaster.

Concerning the Victoria Disaster.
VALErrA,, July 10.-The court
martial, which is trying certain Of the
officers Of the warship Victoria for los
ing their vessel. resumed its sitting this
morning, this being the third day Of
the trial.
The first witness called to-day was
Rear Admiral Markham, whose flag
was flying on the Camperdown at the
time she ran into and sank the Vic
toria. His official dispatches to the
Admiralty reporting the fact and the
details of the disaster we're read, and
he stated that he had nothing to add to
these dispatches. He said that when he
signalled the Victoria that he did not
quite understand the signal, the Vic
toria answered that the Camperdown
was delaying the manOuvres. 1t then
occurred to the witness that he was TO
put the helm OF the CamperdOwn down
and turn her sixteen points 10 starboard
while the Victoria would ease her helm
and circle round on the outside of the
division which was being led by the
Camperdown.
Rear Admiral Markham further said
that he had conferred with his Flag
Lieutenant and Captain, and that Goth
cOncurred in his assumption that the
Victoria was TO pass round on the out
side OF the Camperdown. Had this as
sumption been founded on fact the ma
neuvre would have been attended by no
danger, When he discovered that his
assumption was wrong, be watched the
Victoria's helm signal with the closest
attention. The Rear Admiral stated
that be was cognizant Of Vice Admiral
Tyron's memorandum in regard to dis
cretiOnary obedience Of orders when
strict obedience would entail disaster.
In reply TO further questions asked
him, Rear Admiral Mark ham
stated that be saw that the Victoria's
helm signals were not altered, he order
ed Captain JOhnstOne TO reverse the
Camperdown's starbOard screw and to
close the water tight doors in the COLI
sion bulkheads. These orders
were communicated by Cap-
tam JohnstOue 10 the officers
and were promptly obeyed. Soon after
ward Rear Admiral Markham saw that
a collision was inevitable and the order
to go astern with both engines was sig
nailed TO the engine room. When the
signal flying from the Victoria was
hauled down the Camperdown was pow
erlesS TO avoid a collision.
