ACTION 0F CONGRESS.
Finance Committees Fill for the Repeal ol
 the Purchasing Clause
HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN UP
By the Senate Yet--Senator Morrill, Will Deliver Speech With the Sub iect, .fSound Money
 Cheats Nobody"

WASHINGTON, August 2l.-Al- though the finance committee bill for the repeal of ths purchasing clause of the Sherman act has not been formally taken up by the sen ate to-day, the general subject will be discussed by Senator Merrill, of Vermont, who brings to the study in mind that has pene- trated all the mysteries of finance and that nave been ripened by experience in the house and in the senate outlasting the generation of mankind. Mr. Mor- Till occupied for many congresses the position of chairman of the committee on finance, and is now one of the leading Republican mem- bers of the committee. He has chosen for his text in his speech the sentence: "Sound Money Cheats Nobody and it is understood that he will avow himself friend to metalism, while gladly voting for the repeal of the Sherman act. In case much of vote is to be taken this evening on the admission of senators appointed by the governors of states after the legislators failed to elect, it is not probable that much if any progress will be made on the bill to allow rational banks to increase their cir. culation. The impression is grow ing about the Capitol that the pres ent extraordinary session of con- gress may come to an end about the middle of September.
 This appears to be based upon the confidence in the possibilities of a compromise entered into upon that question. Nearly all the important legislation accomplished in the re- cent years has been the result of a compromise and was the outcome of conference committees, while those persons who hold to the opinion that adjournment is possible next month say MT. Vests proposition to provide fer the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 20 to l will be passed by the senate and ulti- mately will become part of the bill for the unconditiona repeal, which it is expected will be passed by the house and likely be vetoed by President Cleveland. Such a measure has been dis countenanced by believers in the reported early adjournment. They argue tito be impossible to ral- ly two thirds vote, either if the house pass it over the veto nothing will be accomplished so far as the financial situation is concerned by congress remaining in session after such veto is received. The more experienced watchers of political events make no confidence in these early adjournment theories.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE
A BSOIUTElY PURE
BETWEEN ELEMENTS.
The Peoples Party and Prohibtionsts
 Discussing Politics.
TWO SPEECHES.
Dr. MeGlynn and Mrs. Lease Both Have Addresses on the Politics of
 the Lords Prayer.

SYLVAN BEACH, N. Y., August 2l.-The Peoples Party has indeed had a watery time of it. Between the elements and Prohibitionists they struggled hard to keep their heads above the water. Sunday promised to see the encampment grounds crowded, but the morning dawned with thunder storm and torrents came down until nearly noon, completely soaking every thing. In the afternoon the hot sun dried out the sand. About 5000 people were there, and a good proportion of them listened to the Populist orators. Rev. Dr. McGlynn has spoken twice and on both occasions pleased the audience. In the afternoon he spoke on "The Politics of the Lords Prayer" He called it either stump speech with religion injected into it or sermon full of politics. His address on the subject brought out pc culiar state of affairs. Mrs. Mary Lease is full fedged theos- ophist, as are Judge w. J. Kerr and Mrs. Marion Todd, the three principal speakers.
 It seems that Mrs. Lease had an address prepared on the same sub ject, and she believes, as does her fellow theosophist, that two minds have been influenced by the same intelligence in the spirit world, and there was psychic relation between herself and Dr. McGlynn. What Dr. McGlynn thinks of all this no one knows. He looks amused and smiles when asked about it. Mrs. Lease deliv- cred her address on "The Politics of the Lords Prayer" in the morning and Dr. McGlyun spoke in the af- ternoon. In the leading ideas the two addresses are quite similar. To day Governor Davis P. Waite, of Colorado, of "Blood to the Bridles' fame, will be here and will be the chief orator of the day. Most of the del egates are here and discussing the prohibition clause in the platform. It is now claimed by the national ists the clause was adopted as sep arate resolution and not properly as a part of the platform. On this ground the labor element of the party refuse to recognize the nationalist movement. The two clements arc arrayed against each other bitterly and neglect no opportunity to call each other uncivil names.

 Circumstances Told.


 MONTICELLO, ARK, August 21. -[ Special. At o'cIock yesterday afternoon Manager Whipple, of tho Nelson Lumber Company, was shot and instantly killed by JIG.

The mob held it's grounds for time and fought stubbornly, It was not until sev- eral charges upon them were made that they began to re- treat, fighting all the time.

 Crime.

Crime.
 AUBURN, N. Y., August 19.--A startling sensation prevails in the town of Sterling, near the northern boundary of Cayuga county. Not long ago the newspaper correspond ents told pitiful story of the acci- dental poisoning of an infant that was given solution of potash in milk by mistake for lime water. This occurred July ' last, and soon after the burial the parents, Mir. and Mrs. Charles Clark, quarreled and the wife was turned out of doors and warned never to come back. She then instituted proceedings for divorce. Her husband retaliated by charging her with infanticide, and made an affidavit that she purposely poisoned the infant and urged him to cremate the remains.
 The coroner has commenced an examination, disinterring the re- mains and making an autopsy with a physician from this city. The stomach of the infant was removed and sent to chemist for analysis.

 Trouble.
 ROME, August 2l.-The troubles growing out of the fighting between the. French and Italian workingmen employed at the salt works at Aiguers Mortes, France, threaten to involve grave international compli cations. It is not in Rome alone that popular indignation at what Italians consider gross breach of international courtesy, finding vent in a demonstration that was evidently intended to coerce the government into demanding an apology from France for the attack upon italians and the payment of an indemnity to compensate the families of those Italians who were killed. Riots directed against Frenchmen have occurred in many of the provincial towns and the situation is consid- cred exceedingly grave. The most serious outbreak of popular feeling against the French occurred in this city late last night when a hooting mob attempted to burn the French embassy. Some of the rioters carried cans of petroleum and did not hesitate to openly declare it their intention to use it in destroying the embassy. Authorities, however, anticipated that an attack might be attempted on the embassy and strong force of troops was detailed to guard the building. The rioters, however, attempted to carry out their threats to burn the embassy notwithstanding the presence of soldiers. They were
