THE SILVER QUESTION IN THE
CABINET.

1t was reported a few days ago that
there was q row at cabinet meeting
in Washington over the silver ques-
ton and that wordy war was waged
between the President and Secretary
Carlisle. The Secretary was to stop
the payment of gold exclusively for
certificates, which are redeemable in
coin, that is in gold or silver, at the
option of the Secretary, when it was
evident that the goldbugs wanted to
force the treasury department to is
sue bonds.
Carlisle's views were sustained by
Gresham, Olney and Smith, but the
other members of the cabinet thought
it proper to pay out gold as long as
there is any in the treasury and the
President insisted that there is no
need of keeping one hundred millions
in gold in reserve. Carlisle desired
to meet the views of the majority OF
the people in the west and south,
while the President thought he
could get the people of those sections
to think as he does on the financial
question.
Senator Vest, in speaking of the
disagreement in the cabinet, said he
was consulted by the President about
calling congress together at an early
day to repeal the Sherman act and
the President was much surprised
when informed that he could not &C
complish anything as there is a ma
iority of sixteen against the repeal
of that act until a free coinage bill
is passed. Senators will not vote
against the wishes Of the States they
represent simply to please the Presi-
dent, and the bullion purchase act
will remain on the statutes until al
act that is more satisfactory to the
silver men is passed.
1t is impossible to ascertain
whether Carlisle, as first reported
when provoked by the President
said he would resign, thought after
ward dissuaded from doing so, but
there is no doubt whatever of a dis
agreement between them on tn {
policy of paying out gold exclusively
for notes that are redeema bic in sill
yer or gold.

be made as to what Statesman was dead. 1t
was soon learned that Hon. Hamilton Fish,
Secretary Of State during Gen. Grants Ad-
ADMINISTRATION, had died at Garrison, n. Y.
Ex Secretary Fish was one of the best-known
figures on the streets OF Washington during
the two terms of Gen. Grant in the White
House. He was appointed Secretary of State
March II, 1869 succeeding Hon. f. b. Wash
burne, of Illinois, who held tho position but
six days.
When Gen. Grant was reelected and took his

Secretary of State, and served through the
entire term of that Administration, turning
over the Office to Hon. William N. Eyarts, who

Arden, and Samuel Sloan, all intimate personal
friends of the dead ex-Secretary.
While living in Washington, being a rich

ment, during Mr.. CIeyeland's first Administra-
ton.

CONGRESS-.
Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY. SEPT. ).


In the Senate, Mr.. Stewart (Nev., r. occu-
pied three hours and half in a speech against
repeal. The gist OF his remarks was to the
effect that there was an honest remedy and
there was a dishonest remedy. The honest
remedy was to restore silver, or, if that could
not be done, TO utilize the silver in the Treas
ury by issuing silver certificates on it, and by
issuing enough greenbacks to relieve the dis
tress The dishonest remedy was to pass the
repeal BILL to sanctify the infamous act of 1873,
and to fasten a perpetual gold standard upon
the country.
During his speech the Senator was once in
terrupted by Mr.. Hoar, by simple inquiry
concerning his own record in the Senate on the
pending question. Senator Stewart waved his
hand at the man from Massach usetts in depre-
eating manner and then. clenching his fist, he
shook it toward the Massachusetts, Senator.
j decline to be interrupted and interpolate
lot of trash in my speech" he cried 1.-The
Senator is trying to break up the continuity in
my speech. If he will wait until get through
he can talk as long as he wants to-"
At one point Mr.. Stewart paused, having
noticed that few Senators were in the Chamber
or listening to him. and declared that he could
not go with his speech unless a quorum
were present
A call of tho Senate was made, So Senators
responded. and then the Nevada Senator re-
sumed his remarks III two minutes there were
fewer Senators present than before.
At $40 the Senator having disposed Of his
type written manuscript, made another pause.
He said that he had much more to say but was
not sure that he could get through tonight.
No one offered to relieve him by moving that
the Senate go into Executive session or adjourn,
and so the Senator continued.
After he had continued in this style for over
a quarter of an hour he opened his desk, took
out of it q bundle of papers, and proceeded to
read extracts from New York paper of Janu-
airy, 1891, in condemnation of the Federal
elections bill and of the closure rule then pro-
posed

Stewart was doing this merely to spare himself,

GIVEN A SHARP REBUKE.
Secretary Herbert Scores Several Naval Off
GERS in General Orders.

A fire aboard the U. s. S. Atlanta, lying at
Norfolk last month, brought to the attention
of the Navy Department through n Board of
Inquiry appointed to find out who was re-
spOnsible, eliminated in tho issuance of an
order by Secretary Herbert last week, which
gives sharp rebuke to the Naval officers
aboard tho Atlanta.
Mr. Herbert intended to order a court-mar-
tial for the trial of the officers involved but
owing TO the fact that certain other officers
previously attached to the Atlanta, who are be-
ieved to be equally responsible with the officers
named i'll the report submitted TO the Court OF
Inquiry, but who could not be reached legally,
it WAS decided by the Secretary of the Navy
to give General Order showing that the OIL
GERS of the Navy generally appear to be devot-
ing too much time to other matters than their
duties Secretary Herbert says:
The neglect which resulted in the fire appears to
have been due chiefly, if not wholly. to desire on
the part of those In authority on board the Atlanta
to get rid of the vessel as soon possible by turn
ing her over to the navy-yard authorities. The
properly fixes the responsibility for the fire
upon officers herein boro named. but il appears
to the Department. if the evidence Is to be relied
on, that others not named in the report OF the
court are indirectly responsible therefor, through
carelessness in not making proper inspection of
the ship before aud after she was placed out of
commission The Department refrains from nam
ing such persons in this General Order only In con-
sideration of the fact that the court failed to fix the
measure of their responsibility for the action.
After mentioning Capt. Bartlett and Chief
Engineer Inch by name Mr. Herbert concludes
with the following, which will give the Navy
general shaking up and has issued an order
amending the Naval RegulationSs0 as to pro-
vide for more rigid inspection and reliable re-
ports:
Under all the circumstances above stated the off,
named Ia tie report responsible for the lire
and for the condition in which the ship found,
and richly deserving of n court-martial. 1t Is
only because OF the fact that IL would be difficult.
if not impracticabie, to bring 10 trial all of the
parties whom the Department deems responsible,
and in measure because of the opinion K
pressed by tie Court OF Inquiry that no further
proceedings necessary, that further judicial
proceedings not Instituted.
The foregoing General Order is published to the
service and will be read TO the officers and crew %
every vessel of the Navy in commission. as re-
quired by Article 365 of The United States Naval
Regulations In giving this widespread circulation
the Department hopes that such n condition OF
affairs has been discovered on board the United
States steamer Atlanta will never again exist on
board q vessel in the American Navy.

Five Most Valuable Mines.

Rather oddly. the most profitable mine in the
world is not gold even silver mine, Lut
one of copper. 1t is the Calumet and Hecla, of
Michigan, which has paid $38000,000 in divi-
bends in the past % years.
The next most profitable is the silver mine
of the Broken Hill Comp of Australia. which
has paid nearly 5000 900 in dividends since
1854. The third in order of profit is the De
Beers Diamond Mining Company. which has
paid $l5, 600 900 in dividends ia five years. The
fourth is the Huanchaes Silver Mine of Bo-
livia, which has paid $l4,000000 in dividends
since 1877. The fifth is the FL Callao Gold

Pan-American Doctors Assemble in This
City for Four Days.

The Pan American Medical Congress met in
the Grand Opera House for four days last week,
and the business of the gathering was entered
upon and continued under the most favorable
conditions of weather, attendance aud public
interest. There were probably about 1000
doctors in attendance.
The principle features of the Congress were
a visit by the President, who also addressed
the convention, the reading of various techni-
cal papers on interesting subjects an exhibit
of a military field hospital in modern style,
side meetings of different departments of medi-
cine and surgery. the adoption of resolutions
affecting the prosecution of the great conti-
mental work of the Congress, of proper recog-
milton by the Federal Government of State
preventive medicine, ETC., and visit to the
President by the delegates of the Congress in a

be held in the city of Mexico, the date to be
dependent upon the meeting Of the Inter
