The Governor of Missouri Refuses to
Further Interfere.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 18 Governor Stone
recently granted q respite until today to
Harry Duncan, the brutal negro muir
derer who was to have been hanged in
St Louis county on Friday, July %.
Duncan's friends succeeded in raising
sufficient funds to carry his case to the
supreme court Of the United States.
The governor some time since refused to
interfere further in the matter when
applied to for a respite. The stay was
granted simply to give Duncan's attor-
neys an opportunity to have hearing
before the highest courts in the land.
In speaking of the case Governor Stone
said: II have reviewed the case four
times and have carefully examined the
testimony. l think l am thoroughly
familiar with it. The stay granted re-

SEIZURE OF SEALING VESSELS.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
published dispatch from Paris, saying
that on the questions Of fact regarding
the seizure OF sealing vessels the decision
of the tribunal is in favor of Great
Britain. The paper adds that as q
natural result Of this decision the United
States will give Canadian seslers due
compensation for seizures illegally made.
The regulations providing for the close
season are very stringent. Prohibition
of fire arms may be found to be serious
disadvantage by Canadian seslers.

BEHKING SEA DECISION.

Satisfaction Expressed by American Arbi-
trstors-The Principal Points.
PARIS, Aug. 15.-The decision of the
Behring sea tribunal Of arbitration was
handed down today. Five points OF
Article are decided against the
United States. The close season is es-
tablished to begin May and to continue
until July 81. This close season shall be
observed both in the North Pacific
ocean and Behring sea. A protected
zone 10 established extending for sixty
miles around the Island. Pelagaic seal
ing is allowed outside the zone in Behr.
ing sea from August 1. The use of fire
arms in sealing 10 prohibited. Ameri-
can arbitrators have expressed their
satisfaction with the text OF the decision.
American srbitrators believe that the
regulations decided upon by the tribunal
mean practically an end of pelagaic seal
ing and that they are better terms
than were heretofore offered to the
United States by Great Britain as a
settlement Of the question involved.

The silver debate absorbed attention
in the house today, Hutchinson, of Texas,
being the first speaker.
POOR PROSPECTS OF REPEAL.

for the unconditional repeal of the Sher-

that the finance committee will first seek
relief in recommending the issue OF ma
tional bank notes to the par value OF the
bonds deposited, and that the questions
of free coinage and repeal OF the Sher-
man act will be relegated to the future
for more leisurely consideration. Yester-
day, when Senator Vest reaffirmed allegi-
ance to bimetalism and spoke against the
UNCONDITIONAL repeal OF the sherman act,
the repeating men found greater cause for
disappointment.

THE TWO SENATE BILLS
Majority and Minority Reports by the
Finance Committee.
CHAnPIOHBD BY VOORHEES, and YES1
Boston Business Men Appeal 10 The Wesl
and South-Ths Silver Debate
In the Rouse.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-In the senate
today Voorhees, reported from the COM
mttee on finance Q bill to discontinue
the purchase of silver bullion, and de-
clared it to be the policy Of the govern
ment to continue the use OF both gold
and silver as standard money.
Vest, on behalf Of the minority OF the
finance committee, presented a substi-
tute for the repeal bill. The substitute
fixes the number of grains OF silver in
coins at AGA 10 OF pure silver per dollar,
and proportionately for half dollars, quar-
tersi =. and dimes and to coin both
gold and silver into money of equal
intrinsic value, such equality to be Sc
cured through an international agree
ment, or by such safeguards of legisla-
ton as will insure the maintenance of q
parity in value Of coins OF the two metals
1t is further declared that the efforts OF
the government be steadily diverted to
the establishment OF such safe system
of bimetalism as will maintain at all
times the equal powey of every dollar
coined or issued by the United States in
the markets and in the payment Of debts.
Voorhees, gave notice that he would
, call up the bill and address the senate on
Tuesday.
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
The silver debate opened promptly this
morning in the house with speeches by
Sibley, Of Pennsylvania, in favor Of BIZ
metalism and johnson for the inter-cor-
vertible bond proposition.
AFRAID OF VESTS BILL.
A vote on the repeal bill will not be
reached for some time, as there is dis
position on the part of the senators to
debate the measure for an indefinite
time. While the anti-silver senators
feel pretty certain the bill can pass the
house, they appear by no means san
guine OF the senate. There seems to be
feeling that the bill of Vest, establish
ing free coinage at ratio of 20 to l, will
possibly be successful. Two bills would

In the senate the discussion of the

MAJORITY IN FAVOR OF REPEAL
A poll of the house has practically been

twenty to one, the majority for the viii.
son bill, which will present the naked
question Of repeal or no repeal, will be
100 or more. On the other hand Bland
says there are representatives who may
vote against the coinage of silver at any
specified ratio, who will not vote to wholly
abolish silver as a money metal, which
would be the effect, he says, of passing

NEBRAsKA's YOUNG ORATOR.
The financial discussion in the house
took on deeper interest yesterday than
on any occasion since the opehing day
of the silver debate. William s. Bryan
viz C' i"Viu
Nebraska, added greater laurels TO his
reputation as an orator, and made free
coinage speech which, in the opinion Of
many, surpassed the great tariff speech
which gave his name to fame two yearf
ago.
HoKE SMITHS PAPER.
In an editorial yesterday on the
financial situation in the Atlanta Eve.
ming Journal, owned by Secretary Hoke
Smith, it calls upon congress to pass 9
free coinage bill of both gold and silver
putting sufficient quantity of silver
in the silver dollar to put it on a parity
with the gold dollar. 1--WE further be-
lieve," it says, "that Cleveland and biz
cabinet and the democratic leaders in the
senate and house squarely favor this
PLAN" As the Journal has unequivocally
endorsed the presidents message, and
has not until now called for free coinage
of both gold and silver, it's utterances are
regarded as significant.
