THU WORK Oh CONGRESS.
Senator PETER Delivers an Ad-
dress Favoring Silver.
MANTBE's CASE GOES OVER.
The Question viii Be Considered
Again Today.
Senator Allen socates His Amendment
to the V orhees BIZ for Free
Col, Sc at Ratio OF
slxteen to one.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-In the Senate
this morning there was considerable
amusement over g dispute between SEN
ator Stewart, OF Nevada, and PETER, OF
Kansas, as to who was entitled to the
floor, both being extremely anxious to
deliver silver speech they had prepared.
Finally Stewart yielded the floor. Mr..
PETER spoke at great length. " A half
dozen spectators, - he said, "ruled the
country with an iron hand. 1t was time
to dissolve partnership with Wall street.
Bankers and brokers were advisors OF the
president, and the result of their advice
was bill to repeal the Sherman act"
The morning hour having expired the
Mantle case was called up, and after some
colo Guy postponed till tomorrow.
MIR. PETER then resumed his speech de-
claring himself in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver of 16 tc 1
ratio, that or nothing. Ee went on to
argue that it was government mlntage
that gave a legal tender quality to gold
as well as silver. The unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman law would mean a
gold standard, and as far as he was con-
cerned the Sherman law would never be
repealed unless the law of our fathers
were restored to the statue books.
He criticized the way of Mr.. VOORHEES,
for what he called his political apos-
tacy'' drifting into discussion of his
resolution as to national banks violating
the law in refusing to pay depositors
checks in currency. He said he did not
mean to censure the secretary OF the
treasury or the comptroller, but he merely
wanted an official statement of facts. He
believed that in the present condition of
things the New York banks had done
Just what they ought to have done.
Mr.. Allen addressed the Senate in sup
port of his amendment to add to the
VOORHEES, bill provision for free coinage
at q ratio of Is TO /, and for the coinage
without unnecessary delay of silver bull
lion now owned by the government. He
went on to argue against an uncondi-
tionsl repeal of the Sherman law, which,
he said, was the last barrier between the
patriotic and industrious classes of the
people and gamblers OF Lombard street
and Wall street, who would for private
gain turn the world back into the gloom
of the dark ages with all its evils and mis-
cries. The Peoples party was not clam
oring for silver because it preferred it to
gold, but because there was not enough
gold in the world to do the worlds work.
The high sounding useless declaratio n
about the intended return attached to the
finance committee bill could not betray
them into a repeal, as they had it in
their power to force better terms, The
Senate then adjourned.

aIIDwINTER FAIR.
Ground Broken In Golden Cato Park
Imposing Ceremonies.

Ground Broken In Golden Gate Park
Imposing Ceremonies.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-At O'Clock
this afternoon the first spade full Of earth
was turned for the midwinter fair in
Golden Gate park. 1t was the occasion of
a great ceremony. Thousands of people
were present. Business was suspended
in town, schools were closed and the
National Guards paraded. A salute was
fired by the United States artillery and
speeches were made by prominent citi-
zens. The shipping in the harbor was
profusely decorated with bunting and the
afternoon was general holiday. The
$500, 900 guarantee fund has been nearly all
subscribed by our citizens, and the work
of constructing buildings and preparing
grounds will proceed without Interrupt
ton until the fair opens.
This afternoon Director General De
Young took the first spade full of earth
which was put in a silver casket and sold
at auction to the highest bidder. Five
hundred men commenced work immedi-
ately on the excavation for the site.
1t is expected that large part of the
exhibits at the Chicago fair will be
brought out here, as Congress has passed
a law allowing foreign goods to be
brought here for exhibition purposes
without payment of duty.
The ceremonies today opened with
prayer followed by an address from the
president of the day, r. P. Hammond.
M. III. De Young presented the report of
the executive committee. General W. H.
L. Barnes delivered an address, as did
Irving NJ. Scott and Rabbi Varsanger.
During the ceremony of turning the
first shoyelful of earth, salute of fifteen
guns was fred and a chorus OF 1000
voices sang the national anthem
'sAmerica.' The fair VIII be opened
January 1, 1894, and will close June 30,
six months later.

WORLDS FAIR. Aug. 24.-The paid att
tendance at the fair grounds yesterday
was $50, 952. This was illinois, day and
warriors from almost every nation on
earth equipped with instruments of death
and destruction were here, and they
paraded through the beautiful thorough
fares to the tune of patriotic tunes played
by scores OF martial bands. Thousands
of people assembled here from every cline
to witness the parade and the other events
of the day.
The days entertainment began with a
parade OF the Illinois national guard.
5000 strong, leading the way for the saw
ages and barbarians of Midway Plaisance.
In the main grounds they were Joined by
Italian marines, British soldiers and
West Point cadets. 1t was strangely
wonderful sight and it is doubtful if ITS
like has ever been witnessed in the world
before, or will ever be seen again. The
parade was led by Governor Altgeld and
his staff until it reached the Illinois build
ing, when they dropped out and the gov
ernor reviewed the procession from the
front portico. At the conclusion of the
parade, Governor Altgeld and staff held
a reception in the Illinois state building.
Day wound up this evening with a
magnificent illumination and one OF the
grandest displays of fireworks yet seen.
Among the set pieces was one showing
the facade of the Illinois state building
60x40 feet in size containing 1900 separ-
ate burning pieces, and the Lincoln
monument at Springfield 40x40 feet.
Interest in the great stock exhibit is
increasing daily. NJ. w. Durham the
we'll known breeder, told Chief Buchanan
today that there never was such stock
L. L
would be a long time before it was
equalled.
Interest at the electrical congress today
centered in an elaborate discussion Of
multiphase motors and power transmits
sion, many experts taking part.
The total admissions today were 269, 016,
OF which 237, 1903 were paid.

RIOT AT BUFFALO.
Three Hundred POlanders Raid Market
Stand.

lnree hundred EOl3nuers Ralo q MarkeI
Stand.
BUFFALO, Aug. 24-Serious trouble
developed this morning at Broadway
market, East Buffalo. between 300 Poles
and market men. The Poles, who were
out of work, robbed the provision stands,
when the owners of the stands tried to
protect their property a riot resulted.
The police arrested ten of the ringleaders.
The immediate cause of the disturb
ances is said to have been an attempt by
Hebrew peddler to defraud a Polish
woman in making change. There had
been bad blood between the Poles and
Hebrews and it only required slight
provocation to create an open rupture.
In addition it was stated last night that
the Poles had decided to raid the market
this morning.
For several days they have been threat
ening that if they were not given work or
bread they would obtain the latter by
violence. A meeting was held and much
infiammatory talk INDUCED in. The
police assert that though the Poles are
out of work there are few if any hungry
Most of them have homes paid for and
money laid by. They are uneasy because
of lack of employment, and being Of an
excitable nature are always ready for
row. More trouble is feared.

JoHNsoN's BANK BILL.
The House Committee on Banking Discuss
the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-For two and a
quarter hours this morning the House
Committee on Banking and Currency dis
cussed Represe NATIVE Johnson's bill pro-
viding for the exchange OF treasury notes
for government bonds at the request of
the latter. The committee then adjourned
until next Tuesday, when the author OF
the bill hopes that decisive action may
he taken upon it. The bill encountered
the opposition of Messrs. Sperry of Conn.,,
and Warner of New York, who argued
that the scheme opened up new channel
for the depletion OF the gold holdings OF
the treasury. It is said that if the bill
becomes q law the holders of bonds would
exchange them for treasury notes and
then demand gold for the notes.
To this Mr.. Johnson responded that
the only occasion it would induce the
holders of bonds. themselves redeemable
in gold and commanding premium, to
exchange them for currency of any kind !,
would be in just such urgency as is now
upon the nation. 1t was a fetched
objection that gold would be demanded
for them.
Mr.. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, had q
substitute for the johnson bill. 1t pro-
posed to authorize the secretary of the
treasury to issue notes in exchange for
gold coin.
To this Mr.. Johnson said he had no OBJ
lection as an Independent measure, but ii
did not, in his opinion, meet the case.
The people who have gold do not have to
send to Washington for notes in order to
pay their debts. Gold itself will do this
but people who hold bonds, especially ii
they are Of large denomina tiCp, cannot
with them discharge their obligations.
Mr. Johnson's bill was adverted to by
Messrs. Walker, Hall OF Missouri and
Springer, while Cox favored it with the
substitution of some other form of note
than treasury notes. Messrs. Sperry and
Warner supported the substitute proposed
by Mr.. Brosius.

and cry of every honest and independent
American citizen be Free coinage for a
free people,
Richard Lacy was made chairman and
delivered brief address. The claim, he
said, that under free coinage OF silver
money would shrink in value, was alb
surd. The unconditional repeal OF the
Sherman act meant the putting of a
premium on gold. The United States,
he said, could maintain silver dollars at
par as long as the government endures.
General A. j. Warner was introduced
and said the claim that the present strin-
gency was caused by the Sherman act was
absurd. II the Sherman act was repealed
it would mean the end OF bimetallism.
The panic was caused not by the fall of
silver but the rise of gold. 1t has risen at
an unprecedented rate since 1873
and it's rise is sure to be accelerated. In
conclusion he denounced the "gold con-
spirators'' in warm language and the au-
dience applauded him roundly.
The Committee on Resolutions then re-
ported a preamble and resolutions which
were read and adopted unanimously.
They declare that the attempt to reduce
the worlds specie supply to gold alone
has fictitiously increased the value OF gold
for the sole benefit of wealthy creditors,
while it is impoverishing all
debtors and other persons de-
pendent upon their own exertions for
living. 1t is further stated that the real
and only cause of the present financial
distress which is compelling the closing
of banks, factories, workshops and
stores and the failure of thousands of bus
mess men everywhere, in Europe as well
as America and other countries, arises
from ssreedily inspired attempt to force
upon the commercial world a single
standard, whereby the available supply
of metallic money will be reduced half
the present amount, resulting in a cor
responding reduction in the markat price
of all kinds of property and products OF
lab r.
Congressman Bartine traced the his
tory OF the silver movement and prophe-
sled disaster which would follow total
decentralization of white metal.
Congressman Bryan of Nebraska said
the recent representations in the New
York papers had undoubtedly given the
people erroneous ideas about the people
of the west.
He wanted it understood that the people
of the west were better lovers OF law and
order, and though not hindered by the
shadows of colossal fortunes had less
criminals and less paupers. The people
of New York, through their repre-
sentatives in Congress. were striv-
ing TO strike down the greatest
industry in the q. Rocky mountains
at the same time the people OF Denver are
Offering to send food to New York to feed
its unemployed. The audience did not
like this and there were cries of ssWe
don't want IT'D Mr.. Bryan then de-
voted himself to the silver question and
his remarks were warmly received.
