IN THE HOUSE.


speech by Bryan. the Great Free Trade
and free silver Orator.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 16.-The finan-
cial discussion in the house took on a
deeper interest today than on any occa-
sion since the opening day of the silver de-
bate. William j. Bryan, the eloquent
young congressman from Nebraska, added
greater laureis TO his reputation as an ora
tor and made Q free coinage speech which
in the opinion of many, surpassed the
great tariff speech which gave his name to
fame two years ago. For nearly three
hours Bryan held the interested attention
ofthe house and galleries, and eyerv inter
ruption 10 which he was subjected only
gave opportunities for those brilliant bits
Of repcrtee for which he is so famous.
The silver discussion today was opened
By McCati of Massachusetts, who made an
elaborate speech for repeal OF the purchas-
ing clause Of the Sherman act. and denied
that such action could be justly construed
as an attack ON bi-metaliism.
Coombs. speaking for repeal, highly CON-
mended the presidents message, which in
hts opinion had never been surpassed by
any state paper.
In opening his argument against uncon-
ditional repeal OF the Sherman law, Bryan
said:
Upon the action of this congress might
depend not only the welfare OF the South
and West, not only the welfare of the
United States. but the welfare OF human
ity itself for ages to come. Some outside
this hail had assumed that the recon-
mendation of the president imposed some
obligations upon the Democratic members
TO do as he desired, aud some had even
been hardy enough 10 suggest that failure
TO fall ia with the recommendations there
made would subject the dissenter to aa-
minIstratiye displeasare. Rut those per-
sons did the president great injustice.
The president would not for moment
claim Independence of the two branches of
congress. Let the presidents own Ian
guage rebuke those who woulo frora false
feaiiy change their convictions ur.on the
subject in order TO conform TO his 1savve.-
tons. The effects of our action tnay he

Twelve Dsys Yet 60 wais.

WAsHrssros CITv. Aug. 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committee OF the anSi-siiver forces
in the house, appointed at the conference
last night, held meeting this afternoon
for consultation. A poll of the house has
been practically completed by canvasse-s
in the interest of the anfi-silver faction.
WHICH Is said. by one Of the leaders 10
show majority of twenty-seyen in favor
of unconditional repeal of the purchasing
clause. as provided in the Wilson bill.
Harter estimated that il the house sue
ccssfuily passes what he calls the danger
point of the vote on free coinage at ratio
of % to 1. the majority for the Wilson bill.
which will present the naked question Of
repeal or no repeal. viii be 100 more.
On the other hand, Bland says there are
many representatives who may vote
against the coinage Of silver at any speci.
fed ratio who will not vote to wholly abo,-
ish silver as a monty metal, which would
be the effect of passing the Wilson bill
If there are any representatives from the
silver districts who would thus VOTE said
Bland, ..they would better make terms
with the administration, for they cannot
do 1t with their people.
Harfer's doubt rs to the result Of the
sotc ou tHc pftpu5lkioi 10 coin SILVER at
the ratio of % to 1 Is said to be due to in
formation conveyed to the anti-siiver
executive committee that there are up
wards of forty Republicans who will vote
for establishing coinage at that ratio.
Bland, however, believes the ratio of i6 to
l will be stronger in the house than anv
other, despite the reported forty Repub-
lican votes for 20 to 1. The repeal Demo-
Gratis readily concede that they must have
Republican votes TO succeed, and have
asked the Republicans to come to their
aid in the discussion now proceeding.
The marked absence OF Bcufke Cochran
from the anti-silver mems meeting at the
Arlington last night and the appointment
of Gen. Tracy as chairman of the execu-
tive committee in his stead, occasIoned
rumofs to be started that the distin-
guished Tammany orator had taken UNI
brage and would no longer seek to lead
the forces who are for the unconditional
rspeal. An additional surmise was yen-
tnred upon that Mr.. Cochran would be
found eventually siding with Senator Hill
in favor of bi-metallic standard.
The amount Of silver offered to the
treasury department today aggregated
100000 ounces at 70 TO "A cents per ounce.
All was declined and u IS cents offered.

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. R-In an editorial
on the financial situation this evening the
Journal, owned By Secretary of the In

pass free coinage bill for both gold and

dollar TO put il on a parity with the gold

"that Cleveland and his cabinet and the

As the Journal has equivocaily indorsed

gladdened byssan excellent rainfall
last week, which was the first rain of
any consequence since the middle OF
July. The range and pastures were,
before the recent rain, almost dry
enough to burn; late corn so badly
damaged that it cannot possibly pro-
duce more than twenty-five per cent. OF
an ordinary yield.
This, with the fact that wheat is I'M
usually low, will make pretty hard
times for most people. We do not an
ticipate any great change soon in the
status of business, generally.
Free Coinage being nipped in the
bud, the financial panic still holds its
grip, ad minimum.
Business out here with our merch-
ants appears to be extremely dull; a
few, however, are doing comparatively
nothing.

enrolment up to date is about eighty,
and that more than thirty pupils have
neither been absent nor tardy during
the past six weeks. Both departments
of the school are in first-class working
order, and bid fair TO be d grand sue
