Chicagoans Shout for Bread.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-About SO men
gathered together and marched through
down-to IN streets yesterday afternoon,
shouting, "We want bread" After
marching afew squares they halted in
front of the city hall, where their arrival
created some excitement. Mayor Harri-
son and other officers gazed out upon
the crowd; whereupon the men shouted,

however, soon melted away without fur

marry; SO the army turned it to some

New YoRK, Aug. 24.-The West Indian

left it's marks over the whole region
around New York with a sweep of fully

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There is much
hostility in the senate to the bill to in
crease the circulation Of the national
banks to the par value Of the bonds de-
posted 1t is not thought it will ever
reach vote.
FIVE MINUTE DEBATES.
The second day Of the tive-minute
debates in the house on the silver bill
began this morning, and will probably
last till midnight.
VEST AND CARLISLE
Vest sent to the Clerks desk and had
read a communication from the director
of til. mint giving statistics of the guam
tity OF silver bullion purchased since 1873,
the date OF the Bland-Allison act, it's cost,
amount coined, etc. Vest summed up
all the figures to show that if all silver
dollars and subsidiary silver were recoined
at tho ratio proposed in the bill GO to d.,
there would still be profit to the treas
ury on the whole silver transactions since
1878 of over $l5, 250, 900. He estimated
pretty broadly that Carlisle, in his letter
to Senator Voorhees, on the same subject,
had not treated the question fairly. Sem
ator Vest is strongly in favor Of coming
silver at the ratio OF 20 to l, and is bend
ing his energies to effect that purpose.
Senator Hill then delivered his speech on
the subject of silver coinage.
SENATOR HILLS SPEECH.
Senator Hill said that the existing
financial disturbance WAS attributable to
three distinct GAUGES. First, it Was the
natural and inevitable result of many
years of real or fictitious prosperity.
Second, some portion of the present
panic could be traced to concerted ef-
fort on the part OF mono metalists to pro-
duce it in order to discredit silver.
Third, the silver purchase law. Hill
did not believe the simple repeal of the
Sherman law would at once restore
abundant prosperity, but that many
years would be required TO recover from
the present disturbance. He was BIZ
metallist. He stood for free coinage at a
proper ratio, and permanent remedy
for our financial difficulty WAS to return to
the bimetallism that existed prior
to 1873. He favored an increase
of the national bank circulation az
PROPOSED in the pending bill. Continu-
ing he said The question Of ratio, il
changed at al, should not be enlarged
but diminished to l5la He should re.
fuse to follow in the 70 )tsteps OF any
administration that sought to place the
democratic party in false position and
lead it into the very camp OF the enemy.
The Sherman law should be repealed
as a measure Of temporary reli, (. Next
December permanent system should
be considered He would checrfully
vote for repeal, "unawed by power and
unconupted by federal patronage"

CAUSED BY DYNAMITE.
Startling Theory Concerning the Ann
FaxOn Explosion.

Startling Theory Concerning the Annie
FaxOn Explosion.
PORTLAND. Aug. 25.-An examination
of the hull OF the Union Pacific wrecked
steamer, Annie Faxon, by diver,
shows the boat to be in very bad
condition. A great hole as large
as the exploded boiler itself has
been blown through the bottom, while
the upper works are reduced almost to
kindling wood. A large portion of the
boiler cannot be found. Ii was doubtless
hurled far out in the stream. The water
lie not deep where the wrecked steamer
lies. IL will not be difficult job to raise
her If the company concludes to do so.
The theory is now advanced that the
explosion was caused by dynamite
placed in piece OF wood by some per-
son having O spite against the COM
pany. 1t is asserted by those who are
experienced in ouch matters that it was
not done by steam. An examination OF
the steel boiler since the explosion shows
that it was in first class condition and
not more than 10 pounds of steam was
being carried at time.

A Letter Setting Forth the Facts Regard
Ing silver Purchases.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Voor-
hees addressed the senate this morning
at length on behalf Of his motion repeal
ing the purchase. clause of the Sherman
act.
MoRRILL's IDEAS.
The finance committee bill, reported
last Friday, disseminating the purchase
Of silver bullion, was taken up, 80 as to
afford Senator Morrill, an opportunity to
address the senate in favor OF the bill.
He first, however, asked and obtained
indefinite leave of absence, remarking
that he was in the senate chamber today
against the advice of his physicians.
He then proceeded to the read
ing Of a speech bearing the motto,
Sound Money Cheats Nobody" Sem
tor Morrill, favored unconditional repeal
ri the Sherman act, yet wants the silver
dollars now coined continued as circu.
lating medium. He did not think free
coinage Of silver by the United States
alone was feasible and eaid that interna
tional agreement was the best hope OF a
reeuscitation of the white metal. We
could not alone absorb our colossal out.
put OF silver, even at an advanced ratio
OF 25 or 90 to l.
THE SILVER DEBATE.
The house has passed the senate bill
admitting free Of duty all articles in.
tended for exhibition at the California
Midwinter fair. Johnscn's bill to per-
NIT the exchange OF United States bonds
for treasury notes WAS introduced and re.
ferred to the committee on banking and
currency. The silver debate was re-
sumed and Brickner, of Wisconsin, ad
dressed the house in favor of the rereal
Of the purchasing clause.

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
Convcn ton TO Nominate a State Ticket
Governor Botes Retires.

Convention TO Nominate n State Ticket
Governor Boies Retires.
Dies MONIES, Aug. 23.-The democrats
OF Iowa will today name state ticket
and announce a platform. 1t is under
stood that Governor Boies will probably
not again be a candidate.
Judge John P. Allison, of Sioux City.
may be the democrat nominee for gov
ernor. The only thing that will pre-
vent his selection is tho denomination of
Governor Boies, and this is extremely
doubtful at this time. There is not 80
great a disposition to again select him
as the leader as there was few days
ago. His letter, in which he begged to
be excused from running again, is re-.
sponsible for this change OF feeling
There is just bare chance that he may
be nominated, but it does not look much
that way. The majority OF the party
leaders who were insisting upon Boies'
nomination have dropped over to ALI
son, and in all probability the latter will
be successful in this convention on the
first ballot. Allison has never figured
much in Iowa politics. He is an old
time democrat and has lived at Sioux
City many years. He is banker and is
counted among the wealthiest men of
being u good speaker. He ran for con-
but was beaten by Perkins. This ia his
only venture in politics. Mayor Volt
mer, Of Davenport, will probably be the
temporary chairman OF the convention,
and Senate j. II. Fielde, of Dubuque,
the permanent chairman.
There is going to ne a lively time in
the convention over the silver question.
This a matter over which unfortunately
there is great division OF opinion
among the dc m scrats OF the state. The
Eighth district folks are going to make
q demand for free coinage. The record
OF Iowa democrats on the question of
silver is not exactly straight. Two Years
ago'at their convention Mt Council Bluffs
they declared for free silver. Last year
they found that they were not exactly in
accord with the money plank in the ma
tional platform. They have been trying,
however, to educate themselves up to it.
and while there will be fight over it,
and hot one, too, il is expected the
convention will cast free silver ideas to
the wind. One leader gives il as his
opinion that the great maj 3rty of Demo
Gratis OF the state are in favor OF "good
dollar" and that the convention will
come as near Us possible to sustaining
the national plank.
Among others mentioned for the CUB
erna.orisl nomination are w. w. Dodge.
OF Burlington; Judge French, of Daven-
port, and A. w. Wilmer.

An Important Ruling by Bank Commits
sioner Breidenthal.

sr""er HroruohtHHf'
TOPEKA, Kansas, August 25.-State
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has is
sued circular to state banks, declaring
that in view Of the fact that New York
City banks refuse to pay drafts except
in clearing house certificates, which are
not lawful money, they appear TO be in
solvent. He rules that the Kansas banks
must not hereafter count as a part Of
their legal reserve more than two per
cent in money due from New York. He
allows this much only to enable the
banks to supply the local demand fer
New York exchange. Local bankers
fear serious consequences, as large
number uf Kansas banks are borrowers
in New York, and il they transfer their
accounts to another city the New York
banks will call loans.
