The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-12

S5o'clock the calling of the roll began. The
vote resulted: yeas, 2lI; nays, 100, So
the previous question was ordered. The
republicans generally voted with the
democrats in support Of the motion.
The resolution was then adopted.
THE DEBATE FOR REPEAL BEGUN.
At five minutes after l o'clock, Mr.
Raynor of Maryland, began the debate in
support of the Wilson bill for the unoon-
ditional repeal of the silver-purchase
clause.
FULLER DETAILS OF THE CONTEST.
The silver fight began in earnest in the
House Immediately after the approval of
the journal 1t was not unexpected, as
the fact was known that the sllverites
and the anJi-silver men on the democratic
side had reached an agreement as to the
method to be pursued and as TO the time
within which the debate should be limited.
WILSON STARTS THE BALL.
After the reading of the Journal Wilson
OF West Virginia offered a bill to repeal
the act approved July IA, 1890. 1t repeals
the silver purchase section, and
provides that "this repeal shall not
impair nor in any manner affect the legal
tender quality of the standard silver dol
lars heretofore coined; and the faith and
credit Of the United States are hereby
pledged TO maintain the parity Of the
gold and silver coin of the United States,
at the present legal ratio, or at such other
ratio as may be established by law"
THE AGREEMENT PRESENTED.
Mr.. Bland then presented the agree
ment made this morning governing the
course of debate. After some little OBJ
lection from the republicans, an arrange
ment was effected whereby deba te for
fourteen days-with night sessions, if de-
desired-was provided for, votes to be
taken on ratios varying from 16 to / to 20
to l, and on an amendment reviving the
Bland act of 1873; the daily sessions Of
the House also to extend from II O'clock
a. m. till p. m.
FREE COINAGE BILL OFFERED.
Silver men at once opened their bat
teries In the shape of a bill Offered as a
substitute) for the free coinage Of silver
at the present ratio.
This started the battle. Mr.. Rainer,
of Baltimore, was the first champion
sent out by the anti-silverites, and he
fought vigorously and well He was re-
inforced by Mr. Brown, of Indiana, who,
in brief speech, advocated the repeal
Of the Sherman act, conditionally or I'M
conditionally.
THE sILvERITEs RETURN THE FIRE.
Mr.. Bland was put forward to return
the fusilade of argument and eloquence,
and he performed his part without de-
tracting from his reputation as the leader
of the silver forces on the floor. He was
followed by the populist member from
Colorado, Mr.. Pence, who constituted
himself a bulwark for the protection Of
silver, and by Mr.. Wheeler Of Alabama
who demanded a greater volume of cur
rency.
The fight was still on when, at 3 O'Clock,
the House adjourned until II o'clock to-
morrow.

The back Of the cOngressman's head was
bruised as well as his back, and while no
serious injuries are apparent to-day, his
physicians do not pronounce Mr.. Oates
yet out of danger This is the second case
where a one-armed member from the

Gen. Hooker of Mississippi having been
the former victim, last spring.

Cairo, Aug. 1.-THE return of the Khe-

tension in the political situation and a

THE KHEDIvE HAS HAD A QUARREL
with his prime minister, Riaz Pasha
who owes his position TO English influ-
ence, and wants a ministry in accord with
his own policy, which is well known TO be
q pro-Erench one.
II was only few months ago that he
dismissed his ministers, who were in ac-
cord with the English policy, and substi-
tuted cabinet of his own selection
Lord Cromer, the British minister, in
tervened, and forced the substitution of
Riaz Pasha as Prime minister The sit
uation between the Khedive and his Off
cial advisers has since been straightened,
and has now resulted in another crisis
that will probably again call for British
intervention.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 11.-No new de-

for. The feeling between the citizens and
the soldiers has been anything but friend

diers be out of camp at night and come in
contact with citizens
THERE MIGHT BE FIGHT.
The strike at Coal Creek is still on, and
the end is not in sight. Mine owners seem
very determined, and say that they are
not compelled to mine coal at all. The
miners are just as obdurate, and declare
that they will not work at the proposed
20 per cent. reduction. Every mine at
Coal Creek and Briceville is closed, ex-
cept that of the Knoxville Coal Company,
which employs convicts. The striking
miners thus far are remaining quiet and
show no disposition to make trouble.
