CHICAG0'S GOOD LUCK.
BANKERS CELEBRATE 1T AROUND
THE BANQUET BOARD.
Comptroller Echels Present as the Hon.
ored Guost-Ee Tells How the
Bankers Ssved the Country
from Absolute Rain,

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Around banquet
board shaped like horseshoe, emble-
matte of the good luck that attended
Chicago during the panicky days of
July. gathered the bankers Of Chicago
tonight, to do honor to their guest,
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels.
Tho men present at the banquet were
the most prominent in Chicago and
western financial circles.
Replying to toast in his honor,
Eckels enid in part; "Under the heavy
burdens of the great expenditures made
necessary by the evolution OF your
marvellous fair, you have yet maintained
such financial staEding as has been Of
iueetimable value in preventing wide
spread disaster" f
The comptroller referred to the con-
ditions prevailing when q banquet was
given him in New York. in July, and
continued: 1T cannot but be source
OF mutual congratulation that the gath
ering of tonight is under other circum-
stances. The disasters then threatening,
happily for us all, have paesed away.
The affrghted deposito-s, realizing that
they have done injury to themselves,
and feeling that the thousands of bank
ing institutions which they suddenly
and without cause doubted are vet as
solvent as in the years of their ample
confidence in them, are returning their
money, that it may no longer lay in
wssteful idleness, but again entering the
channels of trade, give life to deadened
industries. Or every hand is evidence
of bettered condition, so marked that
he who runs may read. The paralysis
which go insidiously came upon the
people yielded to degree when the
president called congress in special ses-
sion to repeal the Sherman act. The
advance has been marvellous eince the
heroic treatment accorded it in the
house oi representatives and the recovery
will be complete when the senate,
under the coercive force OF public opin-
ion, confims the action Of the house. +"
In conclusion Eckels said: "Let me
speak what | know to be the sentiment Is
of the American people, when | cay
that TO the conservative, wise and
judicious course pursued by the bankers
of this country, 10 duo in the largest
measure the fact that there has not been
greater depression. Tho politician and
carping critic may find fault bnt the
thoughtful citizen, unbiased and un-
prcjndiced, gosking neither votes nor
notoriety, knows that the eourae which
has been pursueG here and elsewhere
by the bankers haa prevented panic
that wonld have gathered within its
sweep every business intereat in the
country. The experience through which
we have paeeGd has been 80 costly that
hereafter no party will jingle with the
country'e interea.s Tor the sake OF polit-
zeal advantage"

clusion OF the chapiain's prayer, Bur-
rowaof Michigan, one OF the Republican
leaders. surprised the house by beginning
q srecies OF covert flibuetering to pre-
vent tha report Of fhe bill to the house.
He asked ,it.aniinous coneens that the
call Of committees for reports be dis
penoed with. TUCKER obieeted. Burrows
then moved that the call be dispensed
with without asking unanifnoue cor
cent. Tucker called for the yeas and
nays. II was apparent as the roll call
proceeded that the Republicans were
grimiy resclute. They remained in their
seats refusing TO vote. IN order to break
the cncram.
A number of administration Demo-
Gratis rejecting the White House OPP
position to present consideration OF the
bill, ALEC refuced to vote. The result
was announced: Yeas, 4; nays, l6).
The doors were ordered closed, 2lessen-
gers were dispatched in all directions to
bring in obeenteen. and the house settlsd
down to long hand-to-haud contest.
General Groayenor OF Ohio led the de-
bate for the Republicans. "When the
president called congress in exttaordi-
nary session in midaummer." said he,
ssthe Democratic leSders, recognizing
the divisions in their party, appealed to
us to stsrd by and sustain the admins
tration from overwhelming defeat. The
Republicans, almost to q man, recog-
niging the condition Of the country,
demanded that partisanehip be laid aside
and resolved to support the adminis-
tration and force into law measure
designated to effect party success. A
measure more partisan than any that
has been introduced in 20 years is now
10 be forced on as. desire TO sound
only a single note OF warning. The bill
to repeal the Sherman silver law is not
yet law. II it happens to pass the
senate, when it returns the administra-
tion may not be able to muHter to it's
support the solid Republican VOTE"
Mr.. McMillin, flushed and excited,
replied to General Grosvenor. "You
can do your worst" he shouted, angrily
pounding his desk. "Ghis bill will be
reported and passed. If not tomorrow,
then next day or next week, but re-
peaIed it will be; make no mistake
about it," Loud applause from the
Democratic side
After some further remarks from Allen
of Mississippi. Rae of Arkaneae, Bur-
rows and Grosvenor the motion was put
and carried, and then the heuse ad-
journed.

SENATE PROoEEDINGs.
Daniel Speaks in Opposition to ii
Wilson Repeal Bill.


Daniel Speaks in Opposition to the
Wilson Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14--In the senate
today Faulkner of West Virginia offered
his amendment to the repeal bill, pro-
viding for the coinage of the eilver bull
lion now in the treasury, and the monthly
purchase thereafter of enough silver to
coin 1900. 900 silver dollars, which, to-
gether with ell the silver dollars before
coined, shall be legal tender.
The repeal bill was then taken up, and
Daniel of Virginia took the floor in op-
position.
Daniel said he would attempt to DEM
onstrate, as he was confident be could,
that the worldwide monetary eonvuleion
wes due to three principal causes First,
an enormous increase of debt; second, q
continuous unprecedented fall of prices
for over a quarter OF a century; third,
the eontemporaneon destruction of the
birsetallie baee of credit, at the dieta-
tion OF the European money kingH.
He said more money was needed, and
tho repeal OF the Sherman Get would
have contrary effect. It wouId coz
tract the currency by SOC, ,000,G00 per
annunl. He favored sound currency,
every dollar of which should be main
tanned at par with every ether dollar.
and that it shonld coneiet of gold, silver
and paper money payable in them.
Ia 1892, Daniel said, there were Two
opinions in which there was general con-
currence; first. she Sherman law ought
to be repealed; and second, gold and
silver ought to be coined without dis
elimination or charge for mintage. He
thought these concurrent opinions
should now be embodied in one act.
Referring to the intimations of a deal
between the southern and western cen
atofs, he said he entertained tho fnan-
cial views he did long before ne had in.
timately associated with westerners.
After brief executive session the SEN
ate adjourned.
