the announcement of :. V. White,
known as "DeacOn," added to
the excitement. His failure
was due to a heavy decline in

The absence of further failures,
however, had a reassuring effect,
and at noon the market was firm

Senator Gallinger Of New Hampshire
this evening stated that he is satisfied
that congress will adjourn before Oct.
1. He based this opinion on talk he
had today with several democratic SEN
ators from the South. who, while they
will vote for freee coinage, will not con-
sent to dilatory tactics over the re-
peal of the Sherman act. Senators Cor
don of Georgia and Butler of South
Carolina are in this class. The silver
men are weakening and concede their
defeat.
The Hon. W. A. Clark, the Montana
millionaire miner, who has been here for
several days working in the interest Of
silver, left for New York today, prac-
tically giving up the fight.
Speaker Crisp has in the innermost
recesses of his inside pocket list Of the
members of the house who propose to
speak on the silver question before the
debate closes next week, but he guards
it with scrupulous care. He will not give
out it's contents nor allow any of his
subordinates to do so. The reason
that the list is subject to
made by the extension of time of those
who get the floor, sickness, necessary
absence from the city, ETC. 1t is under

to the United States, therefore, be f.
enacted, etc, that the president Of the
United States be and hereby is author
lied and empowered to enter into nego-
tiations with the British government
for the purpose OF acquiring by
purchase for the United States owner
ship entirely of said country now called
British Columbia, and that the sum OF
500. 900, 600 or so much thereof as may
be necessary be placed at his disposal
to effect said purchase. The sum agreed
upon TO be paid either in gold in ten
equal annual payments without inter
est or at once in silver bars at actual
average cost Of same as purchased by
the United States government"
India is agitating the whole civilized
world. One hundred million dollars pay
able in silver bars at say the average OF
80 cents per ounce, would give England
an opportunity of converting the same
into coin which might be made so as
to correspond precisely in value TO our
own dollar. This silver parity with
gold is now reckoned at 1927 per ounce,
which would give the British govern
ment al additional sum of $40, 000. 900 for
seigniorage. BY international agreement
a similar amount Of $40 900 could
be coined by the United States giving
changeable between the people Of both
countries. thus making an immense step
in the direction of the coin union.

VIENNA. Aug. IA gang OF men
have been arrested in Biskupitz, Croa-
tia, because they have mutilated young
children.
The men have for years made e trade
of Gripping children and then sending
them out to beg or selling them to 9TH
ers for the same purpose.
Children were stolen or were misled
with promises TO visit the house kept
by the gang on the outskirts of the
town. Once there they were bound and
tortured.
When the police forced their way into
the house yesterday they found two
girls of twelve and fourteen years with
their legs broken.
Another girl of about the same age
lay bound on bed with her right arm
broken and both eyes gouged out.
Two other children hardly less horri-
bly, mutilated were found on cots in the
cellar.
Many instruments which had been
used in producing physical deformities
were uncovered in the cellar and were
seized for evidence.

THE DEBATE.
Inroads Made in the Ranks OF the
Free Coinage Men.

The session of the house today was not
marked by any animated debate, but it
was significant in showing inroads made
in the ranks of the free coinage men.
Mr.. McCreary of Kentucky a member
of the recent monetary conference, and
Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi of the COM
nlittee on rules, both took the floor in
support of the unconditional repeal OF
the Sherman purchasing act.
Mr.. Livingstone Of Georgia made one of
his characteristic speeches in support of
free coinage and against unconditional
repeal, and justified his past populist
record as a Calamity bowler" by assert
ing that every prediction of the farmers
alliance of three years ago had been
realized, and that the bankers and
brokers of Wall-st. were today the prin-
cipal calamity howlers.
Mr.. McCreary opened the debate and
urged unconditional repeal Let free
coinage stand on its own merits, he said,
and not hold the Sherman act as a hos
tage for free silver.
Mr.. Catehings, a democrat of Mississip-
pi, said that he would vote for the uncon-
ditional repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act and would vote
against any proposition, directly or in
directly, looking to the free coinage
of silver in this country at this time
at any ratio that could be suggested.
He had come to this determination after
careful considera ton and after a careful
study of the Chicago platform.
Mr.. Richards of Ohio spoke for uncon-
ditional repeal.
At the evening session Mr. Curtis of
Kansas spoke in favor of a 20 to l ratio.
Mr.. BrOderick of the same state spoke
in the same line as did Mr.. Clark of
Missouri.

THE DEBATE.
Both Houses Discuss the Silver Cues
ton LiSfIeEslN.

ton ListIessly.
The senate made no progress in the
financial discussion today because the
majority of the members apparently be-
lieve that their speeches should be with
held until the paramount issue of the re-
peal Of the Sherman law is squarely pre-
scented to the senate. When the senate
met today numerous petitions were pre-
snted, some for the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman act and some against its
repeal without a provision for the free
coinage Of silver.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Kyle
and laid on the table for the present
calling for report from the treasury
department as TO what national banks
have diminished and subsequently en-
iarged their circulation and what ma
tional banks have no outstanding notes
in circulation.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
German to the national bank circulation
bill. The amendment provides that any
national bank desiring to withdraw any
part of it's circulating notes SHALL in
writing, at least sixty days before the
time of the proposed withdrawal, make
application to the comptroller OF the
currency, and that no such Withdrawals
shall be made unless such application be
approved, in whole or in part, by the
secretary of the treasury; but no more
than 100000 of national bank circula-
ton shall be withdrawn within any
calendar month
The financial discussion in the house
was spiritless and uninteresting None
except those members whose names still
appear on the speakers list. seem to
manifest any interest in the daily pro-
ceedings in the house and it is doubtful
If quorum could have been mustered
on a roll call at any time today. To-
morrow the usual Friday exodus to the
seashore will take place and the pro-
ceedings of the house will hardly re-
sumo animation before the beginning of
next week. The speeches today were de-
void of sensational feature. Mr. Daniels,
a New York republican, spoke for re-
peal. Mr.. Cooper. a democrat of Florida,
bill and against each and every one of
the propositions presented by the silver
men. Mr.. Goldzier, an Illinois democrat,
also spoke for repeal.
MIR. McMiIIan's Plan.
Senator Mcmillan, Michigan, intro
duced in the senate today a bill to pro-
vide for a more extended use of gold by
the people Of the United States. 1t
amends the statute by reducing from $50
to s. the minimum issue of gold certifi-
Gates for gold and bullion deposits.

THE TREASURY BILL.
Which VIII BE Urged by Mr.. Carlisle
At Once.
BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WASHINGTON d C. Aue. II

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL.
A plan to supply the threatening de-
ficiency in the treasury. get rid of the
accumulation of the 5000 tons of silver
bullion and supply the country with
$50. 000.0 900 of new currency was Under
discussion today at the treasury depart
ment, and 1t is likely soon to be brought
In a formal manner before congress.
The need of more currency and the
growing bitterness between the two fac
tions which are facing each other in the
senate, one favoring absolute repeal of
the silver purchase law and the other
free coinage of silver, makes the alter
native plan very attractive to Mr.. Car
Isle, and II II secures the approval Of
President Cleveland it is likely to be
promptly offered on the floor of the sem
ate.
The plan under consideration is a mod
ification of one Of the compromises which
the more moderate silver men have al
ready suggested. 1t involves the i'm
mediate transfer of the silver bullion
purchased under the Sherman act to the
silver coinage fund, and the issue Of GER
tificates against the big pile of silver
at its coming value. The cost Of this
silver up to July 81 was $14S, 1856. S4S, but
the coinage value at the present ratio
of Is to 1 is considerably greater.
1t would not be possible for the mints
to coin the silver in less than five years
in connection with other coinage, but
prompt action by congress would
authorize the issue of silver certificates
of the same denominations and charac-
ter as those issued under the Bland law
and their immediate circulation. 1t
would not even be necessary to prepare
new plates and dies, for the new certifi-
Gates would be a continuation of the old
issue and could be printed from the same

has had the matter under consideration
