to discuss what was good for the United
States. Congress was now endeavOring
TO hitch the horse at the wrong end of the
cart.
BELIEVED THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGRT. ~
Mr.. Richards, dem, Ohio, believed that
President Grover Cleveland was right in
attributing to the purchasing clause of
the Sherman bill the present business de-
preston.
The House then, at O'Clock, took re-
cess until S o'clock.
THE HOUSE EVENING SESSION.
Washington, Aug. 19.-At the evening
session of the House n very small attend
ance was on the floor Mr. Curtis, rep
resentative, Kansas, spoke in support of
the Wilson bill, but in conservative
manner. He did not agree with the
statement, so frequently made, that the
act of 1878 was passed under misappre-
hension or by trick. He believed that ev-
cry man who voted for or against that bill
knew what he was doing. The people
would never be satisfied with free silver
at ratio of l6 to l. or with single gold
standard. He was in favor of a ratio of
20 to 1, and he would then establish a
commission with authority to change the
ratio at any time it was found to be too
small Mr.. Brodrick, rep, Kan, spoke
in favor of bimetallism and proper parity
which terms he regarded as almost syn
onymous.
Mr. Clark, dem. Mo, addressed the
House in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer. To demnoetize or not to demonetize
silver was the question that confronted
congress. There was no sense in
whipping the devil around
the stump. To demonetize sill
yer was to confscate one half of the
property of the United States. Quoting
| the language of Lincoln, he declared that
"YOu can fool part of the people all the
time; you can fool all the people part of
the time; but you cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time" and the Democratic
party could not do so in its party plat
form.
REVIEWS MR.. RAYNoR's SPEECH.
He then turned his attention to the
| speech of Mr.. Raynor of Maryland, and
| suggested that if that gentleman would
| take trip through the Mississippi valley
to Colorda or Utah he would have an op-
| portunity to change his opinions on the
| financial question while he was wearing
off his character as tender foot. Ap-
| plause and laughter.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Clark speech,
the House, at 1890 o'clock adjourned.

NEW IMPERIAL SECRETARY.
Interesting News Budget From the
German CAPITAL.


German Capital.
Berlin, Aug, 19.-Count Posadoisky
Wesner, the successor Of Baron Won
Maltzahn as secretary of the imperial
treasury, viii assume the duties Of the
Office on September L. On the same day
Baron Won Maltzahn will give a fare
well banquet to the officials of the
treasury and other government depart
ments. With the retirement of Baron
Won Maltzahn from the head of the
treasury is supposed TO vanish whatever
element Of obstruction the policy of Mr..
MIGUEL Prussian minister of finance,
could meet in the official circle. The new
secretary of the treasury will inaugurate
his career by presiding over a series Of
conferences to be held by delegates from
the federated states on the new taxation
proposition.
BREACH BETWEEN GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Count Posadoisky Wesner's appoint
ment to the imperial secretaryship Of the
treasury helps to widen the breach
already existing between Germany and
Russia, caused mainly by the customs
tariff war now being waged between the
two powers. The new representative Is a
Pole, and it is supposed that his senti-
ments are anti-Russian. He is in close rela-
tiOn to the German agrarian party and it is
therefore not likely that he will assist in
any way to bring about a reversal of the
negotiations with Russia looking to the
adoption of a commercial treaty The
tariff law remains in statu quo. Concur
rent advices from every commercial cen
ter show that Russia is feeling the pinch
of the war severely.
DISTRESS IN SOUTH RUSSIA.
Throughout Southern Russia the prices
of all grains are falling. DR. Willie, the
Russian minister of finance has sum
moned to St. Petersburg the chief prov
incial treasurers to confer with the di-
rectors of the Imperial Bank of Russia on
measures to assist the distressed land
owners and farmers The Move Vermarhe,
OF St Petersburg, says that the
Russian peasanty have had only one good
harvest in three years, and find their
prospect Of recuperation blasted by the
tariff war.
The conference between the imperial
bank directors and the provincial treas
urers viii open on Tuesday next. 1t is
reported that several of the officials will
take part in this conference meeting TO
demand that the tariff war be stopped at
once IL is said that these officials believe
that it viii only be possible to relieve the
distress by securing the re-opening of the
German markets to reinstate products.
The extraordinary tariff now
imposed upon Russian grain
amounts practically to the pro
hibftion of its importation.
Since the alleged cases Of cholera in
this city have been traced TO a single
source, the people Of Berlin have dis
missed the matter as no concern of theirs.
Each case of reported cholera proved to
have been due TO the person affected hav-
ing eaten tainted meat imported from
district in Russia in which genuine chol-
era had prevailed.

Dying Mans Wife, Having Learned
of His Extremity, Wires a Pathetic
Plea for Him to Live-Futile Efforts
to Arouse the Patient from Stupor.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. l9.-At 1890
tonight Surgeon Branham is officially re-
ported still alive. He has been uncon-
cious since o'clock last night, his pulse
l40, but he was resting quietly. The
board of health to-day issued the follow
ing bulletin;
The health board report upon the aus
thority Of DR. John Guiteras, who has
visited every case of sickness with the
local physicians, that there is no infec-
tion of the city and not even a suspicious
case. Surgeon Branham' death has been
hourly expected since 9 o'clock last night,
and only wonderful vitality and an extra
ordinarily strong constitution has pulled
him through This morning every prepa-
ration was completed for the final end,
but the patient has pulled through.
His brother is now on theway here, but
viii be arrested if he tries to pass the
quarantine guards.
Surgeon Branham's wife wired Surgeon
Carter a pathetic message to John, her
husband, asking him for Gods sake to
live for her sake. The unconscious man
may never know of his loving wife's mes
sage.

Unprecedented Inactivity of the Fall

GAANOG 4AdAACbs
Fail River, Mass, Aug 19.-Not yard
of regular print cloths was sold last week
in this market, and there is every pros
pect that there will be fewer sales of or
dered goods next week. The demand
from the west and south has fallen off
and is now only nominal. Western
dry goods men who have ordered
goods from New York houses have been
refused because of uncertainty regarding
payments, and printers are not receiving
any orders from Philadelphia. 1t is many
years since brokers saw a like situation.
They have no means Of judging how long
it will continue, and whatever cause there
may be, it is certain that half the mill
men have lost hope, and they do not pro-
pose to run their mills next week. Most
of them shut down at noon to-day for an
indefinite period.
