QUEBEC, Aug. 3l.-Sir John Thomp-

arbitrator of the Paris tribunal, has
arrived home by the steamer Partisan.
Sir John said regarding his Ameri-
can colleagues in the board Of arbitra-
ton: Both these distinguished men
at every stage of the case were found
to be thorough patriots. Nat
urally they held strong views
as to the necessity of very
stringent measures to preserve the
seal race. The more important points
OF the discussion will soon be set forth
in protocols.
Among the resolutions was one
which authorized any arbitrator to
forward to the secretary of the tri-
bunal written opinion up TO Feb.
indicating the reason which influenced
his Judgment. The award, of course,
is final, and the opinion which may
thus be fled will be merely the reason
which influenced the individual arbi-

WAsHISGTOS, Aug. Ii.--Aftcr the
routine morning business the bill for
the repeal OF the Sherman act was
taken up and senator sherman pro-
ceedcd to address the senate Ile said
that if the repeal OF the purchasing
clauses of the act Of July, 1890, were
the only reason for the cxtraordi-
nary session, il would seem 10 him
insufficient twas, however, justified
by the existing financial stringency.
On one thing congress and the people
agreed, and that was that both gold
and silver should be continued in use
as money. Monometallism pure and
simple had never gained a foothold in
the United States. II senators wanted
cheap money and an advance in prices
free coinage OF silver was the way to
do it; but they should not call it BIZ
tnetallism. ...
Senator Sherman then proceeded TO
discuss the history of the act that
bears his name. lie was not in favor
Of the free coinage of silver, and re-
gurded it as but another name for the
recommendation of silver, and was only
In favor Of the purchase Of silver for

ferences, and in that agreement secured
the repeal of the Biand-Allison act
Senator Sherman reminded senator's
that when they criticised the law that
was misnamed after him they should
remember that this law now on the
statute books was far better than
either the house bill or that passed by
the senate. The President had set
forth the decline in the value of silver,
but had failed TO give the causes of
that decline. Had he taken a broader
view of the causes Of that decline he
could have explained IL all 49,.

with references to the criticisms
made by uniopist leaders on
the historical precedents he had cited
on former occasions for home rule in

contended that in no other country

the union between Great Britain and
ireland. Their contention could not
be supported by historical facts.
In Austria Hungary. in Norway

last bound for Wilmington, where the
monitor was to be turned over to the

sarge and her tow were due at Will

encountered the heavy gales and sue

so much destruction during the last

is feared that the ships were In the
worst of the gales and that some mis-
hap has bcfallen them, While both

ordinary circumstances, the fact that
the historic old battle ship was towing
the monitor gives rise to the fear that
all has not gone well with either of
them. On the Kearsage there are lo0
men in all.

ments for the purchase OF all the gold
mines and interests in the Benace
mining district in the province of
Quebec These mines are located
about seventy-fve miles north of the

pert Dwight Crittenden. who has been
all over Mexico, South America and
South Africa in the interests of the
Haggin syndicate, is making an ex-
animation of the mines in the Benace
district, and has already made one re-
port in whice he says he has found a
large number of collaborating quar-

beyond dispute, and the very fact that
he is making the examination satisfies
Wall street that the purchase of the
