BOSTON, June 90. The members of the
Society OF the Army Of the Potomac yes
terday afternoon enjoyed n drive In the
suburbs The veterans assembled at the

Under the direction of Lieutenant j.
Payson Bradley, chairman Of the sub
committee on excursions, about 100 car
riages had been provided, and soon after
1:30 p. m. the column moved. After par
ticipation in the Farragut parade the visi
tors enjoyed drive in the suburbs
In the evening a banquet was held at
the American House, and
General Porter,
the retiring president, was beside himself
with wit; IL flowed as freely ss good fell
lovship, and IL made, with laughter, by
his keen comparisons the brightest spot in
all that array Of glory. He was the star
of the evening.
The brave fighters were not alone to
celebrate their glory. In that audience to
listen were wives and daughters, and their
presence added grace and beauty to the
army's grand reunion banquet.
General Porter said, in opening the after
dinner speaking, that the chief difficulty
with the moderator Of meeting is in
bringing the exercises to order. ~ am

bridge; the smallest one is sent first to

Proceeding, he said: "As iron Is welded
by the heat of fire, so is true friendship
welded in the throes Of battle. 1t Is worth
all 1t costs for us to come together for a
period and dwell upon past times and to
look forward to the future greatness OF
our country"
He then introduced General Miles, the
new president, as follows:
'The papers described him today as a
great injun fighter but noticed in Vir-
ginia In the sixties that he got in some
pretty clever work on the white man.
General Miles
said he would assume the position of the
olive and occupy as little space as possible.
He reviewed the cause Of the war, saying
It was no great thing to go to the war

DRAWING FOR SEATS
some Better and Some worse
OFF Chan Before.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Senator Hun
ton was present at the rcasscmbling Of
the Senate today. Senator Ransom also
was on hand. Senator Vance has not
yet appeared at the Capitol.
All of the North Carolina members
were in attendance upon the organza-
tion of the House.
In drawing tor seats today the North
Carolina members as rule came out
well. The first North Carolinian called
was Mr.. Branch. He choose the desk he
had in the last Congress-a most eligible
location in an aisle to the Speakers
right. The next North Carolina member
reached was Mr.. Settle, the lone Repub-
lican member from the Old North State.
He got splendid location on the Speak
er's left.
Mr.. Henderson took his former desk
on the front row to the Speakers right.
Mr.. Alexander, was lucky enough to
draw, so he got the same good seat he
had in the last Congress, but his friend,
Mr.. Grady, had to 20 over on the Repub-
lican side, for all the seats on the Demo
cratic side were taken when his name
was reached.
Messrs. Bum, Bower and Woodward
did very well, but Mr.. Crawford was
| not as fortunate as he was before.-Rich'

TWO SILVER BILLS ARE in
SENATOR STEwART SPEAKS
IN FAVOR OF SILVER
The Repeal of The sherman Act
Would Destroy All Hope of
Free COinaxe-Terms OF The
stewart Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-ln the Senate
yesterday two bills were introduced by
Stewart of Nevada. Their titles were
ito restore the right Of coinage" and Ito
supply the deficiency in the currency"
The latter bill was read i'll full. 1t di-
rccts the secretary of the treasury to is
sue silver certificates equal in amount
to the silver bullion in the treasury,
purchas sed under the act of July IA,
1890, in excess of the amount nee
essary, at it's coming value, to re-
deem the treasury notes issued under
that act, and to use the same to provide
for any deficiency in the revenues of the
government, the surplus of such certifi-
Gates to be used the purchase of four
per cent bonds at their market price,
not exceeding twelve per cent premium.
Stewart delivered a prepared speech
upon the bill. In the speech he declared
himself against the repeal of the Sher-

destroy silver coinage forever.

RESPONSIBILITY.
The Republicans Not Ready To
Assume ANY of 1t.

The Republicans Not Ready To
Assume ANY of 1t.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.-Thc Republican
Senators held caucus yesterday MORN
ing in the rooms Of Senator Sherman
aud discussed the situation from various
points of view. The senator's from the
West mingled freely with the gold men
from the East and talked over financial
affairs in an unimpassioned manner.
There was one thing upon which the
senators agreed, however they might
differ on other matters, and that was
that the Sherman law was not alone
responsible for the lack of confidence
now existing in the minds of the people.
One Senator made speech in which he
took the ground that fear of interference
by the Democrats with the tariff had
done more than nything else to sow the
seeds of distrust throughout the land.
This sentiment was voiced by Others
present.
1t was agreed that the Democrats must
assume responsibility for all that was
DONE but that at the same time the Re-
publicans would be guided by patriotic
impulses and do what they thought was
proper to help the country in remedying
evils that were believed to exist. a Dem
ocratic President had called Congress to-
gether and whatever was done must be
proposed by that side of the chamber
and upon that party the consequences
would fall.
Matters of patronage was discussed
and the caucus committee of last year,
consisting of Senators Mcmillan, Proc
tor. Jones, Wolcott, Soup, Aldrich, Hig-
gins and Davis were authorized to wait
upon the Democratic caucus committee
and see what the party intended to give
the minority, and report at the next
conference

AT HOT SPRINGS.
How the Message was ReCciyed
at That Resort.

Hot SPRINGS, N. c.. Aug. 9.-Thanks
to the prompt delivery of THE CITIZEN,
the President s message to Congress so
eagerly looked for, came to hand yester-
day evening and was read by the many
interested guests of the Mountain Park
hotel with much qualification.
Col. MCGhec, one of the receivers of the
L. T. Va. & Ga. railroad, expressed him
self as much pleased; said it was plain,
straightforward, concise document and
to the point, and should not tail to re-
ceive the endorsement of the country at
large and prompt action by Congress.
Major Poindexter of Mississippi fully
endorses the views as expressed by the
President. Colonel Mathesou of Au-
gusta, Ca, terms the message, like every
thing coming from President Cleveland,
DIS sensible and eminently practicable,
and believes Congress will act in accord
ancc with the recommendations as to
the prompt repeal of the Sherman law.
Colonel +. VanBenthuysan of Columbia,
S. c., considers the document as admira-
BILE and should receive the immediate and
favorable action of Congress.
Col. Gillum of Louisiana, a profound
thinker and scholar with eminently prac-
tical but conservative views, after most
carefully reading and pondering over the
message, is of the opinion that the Presi-
dents points are well taken and logical
and ought to find response.
DR.. ID. w. Prentiss of Washington, d.
c., said: THE Presidents message is
just what it ought to be-" Further
than that the Doctor suggests the fol-
lowing: Repeal Sherman act, make
silver money on basis of gold value,
make all government obligations re-
deemable in gold or silver certificates,
but as promises to pay, based on the
credit of the United States, and abolish
national bank system and let the gov
ernment issue the money!"

Chas Hamilton, COlOreSi, Arrested
and Jailed Yesterday.

Chas. Hamilton alias Alex. Hamilton,
colorcd, came up to Asheville from Spar
tanburg on the excursion and got into
trouble by so doing. Hamilton formerly
lived in Asheville and when he went
away left a wife here. 1t was after
wards found out that he had another
wife in Spartanburg. Deputy Sheriff J..
M. Morgan, armed with warrant, got
on the trail OF the sable bigamist late
yesterday afternoon. and arrested him
on South Main street as he was getting
ready to return to his Palmetto spouse.
Hamilton resisted desperately. but was
taken before Justice Chas. w. Malone
and was ordered to give a 5000 bond for
his appearances at court. This Hamilton
could not do and he was sent up. The
doubly- welded darkey made an emphatic
protest against going to the bastile, but
had to take his medicine nevertheless.

A Great E.ennsvIVanIa millionaire
a millionaire no Longer.

LEBANON, Penn, Aug. 9.-Robt. IL.
Coleman, the iron millionaire, has made
an assignment. His liabilities will ap-
proximate 3,5OO,ooO and it is asserted
that they exceed the assets. Colcman's S
interest in the Jacksonville, Tampa, &
Key West railway has brought him to
the verge of financial ruin. Several suits
instituted on account of alleged hypoth-
ecation of 100000 worth of road by
Coleman, as well as continued losses and
inability to pay the interest compelled
him, January 21, 1891, to borrow
$4,000 from the Pennsylvania Trust
company, which was followed February
81, 1891, by another forced loan. of
$3.50. 900 and a mortgage on June 30,
1892, for $62,5 the former interest
remaining due and paid.

National Banks Increased thS
Rates Oh Call Loans.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Wall street re-
ceived a big surprise this morning in the
shape of an announcement from the ma
tional banks of this city that they had
unanimously decided to increase the
rates of call loans of recent date to ~
per cent. per annum and on those of long
standing to 10 per cent. Their reason
for this, they say, is that SO many per
sons have Laid down" on them, that
they are compelled to do this in self pro-
teCt ion
