HOVEY WAS BRILLIANT.

His Wonderful Work Was the
 Main Feature at the Tennis Tour
 nament at Narragansett Pier.
 NARRAaANsETT PIER, R. l., Aug. 1S.- This afternoon play in the double invita- ton tournament was resumed. The match was started about o'clock with Hovey and Chsoe on one side and Hobart and Wrenn on the other. The first set was very interesting tennis, and Hobart and Wrenn excelled in lobbing and hard drives down the side lines when they could find an opportunity to pass their op- ponents, who were rather the superior team. Hovey was omnipresent and his brilliant smashing completely captured the audience. There was too wide space between Hobart and Wrenn and Hovey always knew where to find the hole. Chace's long reaches were great help to his partner, but he left to Hovey most of the scoring.
 The first set by points was as follows: Hovey and Chace, 4, TO, 5, 5, 4, 0, o, A. 29 points, 6 games; Hobart and Wrenn, 0, 5, 4, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4. 0-24 points, 3 games. Hobart and Wrenn did not play SO well together in the second set, for their team work was rather poor. Hovey, as before, was everywhere needed, and the opposing team was rather weak in lobbing. The vey and Chace, ', 4, 4, 4, 9. 4-29, 6; Ho- bart and Wrenn, 5, 1, 1, 0, 3, 1-14, 1.
 Campbell and Larned having defaulted, Hoyey and Chsce will meet the Hall broth CTS to- morrow morning. Should the for mer team win that will settle the doubles, while if the latter win 1t will necessitate another match.

Treasury Silver Purchases.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The prospect is very fair that, even with the stricter rules in force at the mint bureau, the treasury purchases of silver bullion for the current month will come up to the regular quota named in the law. To day is the eighth of the thirteen purchasing days in August. In the half month that has already passed nearly 2,500, ,000 ounces have been bought, leaving only about 2.0OO, ,OOO to buy during the remaining six days, including to-day. The complaints which poured in so fast when the treasury policy WAS first pro- claimed appear to have ceased to flow in this direction. The offers and acceptsnces are made with an aIaority and cheerfulness quite uncommon under such conditions.

 Senator Allen,s Amendment to the Bill for the Increase of National Bank Currency Was Rejected by the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The bill for the increase of national hank circulation was taken up in the senate to-day and MT. Allen, pop, Nebraska, sd vooated the adop- | tion of the amendment offered by him last Wednesday to suspend interest on the bonds | on which the increased circulation Is based.
 | Ar. Manderson favored the immediate ! passage of the bill. In the course of his remarks he spoke against removing the tax | on the notes of state banks. A vote was then taken on MT. Allen's
 amendment and 1t was rejected-yeas II,
 nays 39.
 The next question was on the amend
 ment offered by MT. Cockrell for the re-
 demption at their face value and accrued
 interest of such 9 per cent. bonds as may
 be presented for redemption. and to issue
 greenbacks to pay for them. The amend
 ment was opposed by MT. McPherson and
 MT. Sherman. The latter said it would be
 unsafe now for the government to increase
 its demand liabilities. The very fact that
 the government was increasing its demand
 liabilities by the purchase of silver bullion
 had caused the disturbance in London on
 account of the fear that the certificatei
 would be paid in silver. MT. Cockrell ad l vocsted the amendment. The senate wen into executive session before the debat, ) l was ended and adjourned until Monday.
