1T WILL NOT PARTICIPATE
National Encampment G. A. R. Will
Not Help Dedicate the Monument
Colonel Lilly's Letter TO the Commissioners
Stating the Case-Subscriptions to
the Fund Still Coming In.

Last week q letter was addressed by
Presidents Langsdale, of the Soldiers Monu-
ment Commission, to Chairman Lilly, of
the citizens executive board, G. A. r.
National E~ncampment. stating that he had
been directed by his board to call attention
to the fact that no formal response had
been received to q letter written in last
December sin relation to the unwilling of
the browning figure and the opening of the
monument to the public on the 7th day of
next September" and asking IF il is the
desire of the citizens organization that
such exercises g place at shat time in
the manner specified, and with the CO.
operation" of the enosmpment organize
ton. AS Chairman Lilly was out of the
city during last week, no espon was
made to the letter until yesterday, when be
sent the following answer to Mr.. Langs-
dale:
Hon. George ]. Langsdale. President Soldiers and
Sailors Monument Commission:
Dear sir-Repiying to your favor of the 18th
inst, I sincerely regret that events have not
paved the way for carrying out the proposed
programme for the week OF tho Twenty-seventh
National Encampment of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. in so far as it relates TO the unveil-
ing OF the browning figure, ana for the opening
TO the public OF the Indiana soldiers and sailors
monument.
1t Is unnecessary to discuss the circumstances
which make this decision necessary, but simply
say that it is the duty of the management to see
that there be no feature connected officfally
with the encampmeut which would disturb the
harmony and good feeling of the occasion.
Regardless of the merits of the question in
vOlved. it must be a~ckn0wledE ed that any cere-
mony for a purpose unanimously repudiated by
the Indiana State E-ncampment, Grand Army of
the Republic, with the Endorsement OF the ma
tional commanderin-chief, could find no proper
place in o programme devoted to their entertain
ment.
1t Is. however. the desire and intention of the
citizens organization to carry out In every other
particular the programme of Indiana day as
originally outlined. including the assembling OF
all Indiana soldiers by regiments for reunion
purposes, and for the grand march on Thursday,
sept. z. with the militia and Mexican soldiers in
position as already assigned them.
MEANWHILE, I earnestly hope that q conclusion
nay be reached between your honorable body
and the Grand Army of the Republic which will
permit the successful carrying out OF the origi-
nal programme with reference to the monument.
Believe me, very truly yours.
ELI LILLY, Chairman.

WEDNESDAY. ARG. Dc.

In the Senate. the Chair laid before the house
Mr.. PETERS resolution, which was read, as fol-
lows
ReSoIrod That the Secretary Of the Treasury be
directed 10 inform the Senate first; whether aud
III what respect the National banks, any OF them,
in the cities OF Boston, New York aud Pliade phia
are being now conducted in violation of the law ::
second, whether said banks paying deposilors'
checks promptly in lawful money; third. whether
said banks any of them are demanding rates of
interest higher than those provided by law for the
loan Of money or in discounting notes and bills.
As soon as the resolution was read unusual
excitement prevailed upon the floor of the
Senate. Everybody wanted to speak at once
Senator Henderson (Neb.. r. and Senator
Hoar Mass, r. advocated the immediate pas
sage of the resolution. Senator Mcpherson
IN. j., D. and Senator Washburn (Minn., R.
made speeches in favor of the reference of the
resolution TO the Committee on Finance. SEN
ator Washburn said Everybody knows that
the National banks are conducting business in
violation of the law, and this resolution, if
passed, will tend TO hasten panic in this
country by increasing the unrest of the people"
Senator German Md, d. made speech in
which he declared in his judgment the strict
conformance with the letter OF the law at this
time would bring ruin not only to the banks
but to the people as well.
This Congress is not here" he said "to
cause more trouble for this country. We are
here to afford relief. Since 1861 there has been
no occasion which called for greater wisdom
than the present, and the resolution ought not
TO be passed"
Senator Hill spoke: 4" ] am as anxious as the
Senator from Maryland can possibly be, and /
will 90 with him as far as he will go in any
effort TO abjure parties in the discussion of this
matter. Ny efforts have been just as earnest
and just as tireless as the efforts Of the Senator
from Maryland have been. / spoke upon this
subject last February, when l thought saw a
cloud of danger upon our horizon. think
this matter should be investigated.
The Committee on Finance might report
back the resolution if there has been no wrong
done; but they will never report back the
resolution il the law has been violated. There
fore am in favor of the immediate passage of
the resolution"

tons of protection and revenue tariff. I be-
lieve that the causes of our present disaster
underie the Sherman law; that the necessary
stoppags of hundreds of mills all over this
country is at the bottom of our disaster"
Referring then to the new political condi-
tions which exist. Mr.. Reed said: "It is per-
fectly true that the Democratic party is re-
sponsble for whatever occurs in the future.
and whatever does not occur. For the first
time in so years they have been lifted to the
high level of responsibility and performance.
1t cannot be expected that they will change
their nature in the twinkling of an eye. Elec-
tions may put them into power, but only the
lapse of time can give them the proper sense of
responsibility"
Passing then to the consideration of the ques-
tion of repeal Mr.. Reed said that while he was
in favor Of it, he did not think it would be an
immediate cause of a revival of the prosperity
of the country. Nevertheless, he would vote
for repeal.
In conclusion Mr.. Reed said: "What, then,
is the pathway of duty? The unconditional
repeal. That will oither give relief or not. If
not, then we must try something else, and the
sooner the better"
The House at o'clock took recess until 8
o'clock.
The National tribune., 1893-08-31

Mr.. Jones IVA. d. opposed the unconditional
repeal of the purchasing clause and favored
free coinage. The existing condition of affairs
that iniquity of iniquities, the Mckinley act.
The House at 5 o'clock took recess until 8
o'clock.
After the recess Mr.. Ellis Ky, d. spoke in
favor of free coinage. If the matter were to be
referred TO an international tribunal. why not
refer also to it the repeal of the Sherman law !?
The passage of the Wilson bill meant the dis
continuance of the further coinage of silver.
Mr.. Mckaig ND, d. spoke against the free
coinage of silver.
Mr.. Cooper Tex, d. adm itted that the conn
try was a very i'll patient, but he believed that
the medicine sought to be administered by the
Wilson bill, instead OF curing the patient,
would assist the disease.
Mr.. DeForest Conn, ID. said that there
slould be any opposition from any source what
ever to the repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the 5 erman act under existing cir
cumstances was TO him the abject of profound
astonishment
Mr.. Arnold mo, d. denied that there was
any condition in the country to justify the
demonctizatiOn of silver which would follow
the repeal of the Sherman law.
Mr.. Williams Miss, D. protested in the
names of the farmers and laborers against
minority of the Democratic party joining the
bulk of the Republicans in repeating the Sher-
man law.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Williams's speech
the House at ll:40 adjourned.

THE CHEROKEE OUTLET.
The President, by Proclamation, Fixes Sept.
16 for Opening Day.

President Cleveland has issued a proclama-
tion opening to settlement and homestead entry
on Saturday, Sept. Is, 1893, at IL o'clock noon,
central standard time, all the lands, except
those specifically reserved, recently acquired
from the Cherokee Indian Nation and the
Tonkawa and Pawnee Tribes in the Indian
Territory known as the Cherokee Outlet. After
recitng the law and treaties with the Indians
under which the land was ceded to the Govern
ment, the proclamation describes the tract re-
served for COunty-seats of the several Counties.
In each Of the County four acres arc re-
served for the site Of courthouse TO be desig-
mated by lot and block upon tho official plot of
survey of said reservation for Countyseat pur-
poses, hereafter to be issued by the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office; reservation
10 be additional 10 the reservations for parks
schools and other public purposes required TO
be made by section % of the act of May 2
1890 In Counties NJ, n, o. and p, and in ad-
ditOn to the four acres reserved for County
seat purposes, there is an additional! reservation
of one acre for a site for Land Office.
With q view to preventing one person from
obtaining any advantage over another in max
ing homestead settlement, rules and regula-
tions have been prescribed substantially as fol-
lows: "A strip of land 100 feet wide around
and Immediately within the out boundaries of
the lands now opened is set apart, and entrance
upon said strip is permitted prior TO the day for
the opening OF the lands Upon this strip booths
are to he located. aud clerks from the General
Land Office detailed to take charge OF them.
The booths will he conveniently located upon
the regular lines OF travei-five on the north
ern and four on the southern boundary of the
Outlet-and will be opened for business at 12
o'clock noon the 10th of September. and be
kept open every business day from a. to
II M, and from l to p. m, until discOn-
tinued by direction of the Secretary of the In
terror. Each party desiring to enter upon the
lands for the purpose OF making homestead
ell terry or soldiers declaratory statement, or
settling upon q town lot, will be required to
first appear at one of these booths aud there
make n declaration showing his or her qualif-
cation to make such entry or statement, or to
settle upon town lot"
The land offices will be open for business at
IL o'clock noon on the day of the opening.

SATURDAY, AUG. 26.

In the House. the speech of the day was
made by Mr.. Reed Me, r. J, who was preceded
by Mr.. Clarke (Aia.). and followed by Mr..
Williams (Ill.), Mr.. Allen Miss, Mr.. Cochran
IN ", Mr. McMillin (TenD.) Mr.. Gear Qowa)
aud Mr.. Wilson wv. Va
"Crises like the present." said Mr.. Reed
"were the nseparable Dpan inents of all
human progress"
He summarized the present situation, and
then went on to express his view of the under
lying cause. :" At the last election the Demo
cratic party was brought into power by n curl
Gus combination OF circumstances. as n result
of hundred causes. not with careful and can
did deliberatiOu, but as the result in large
measure, of the apathy oil the American peo-
ple."
Mr.. Reed spoke of the uncertainty of the
! movements of the Democratic party and the
uncertainty which existed in that party itself
in regard TO its future actions. At this pres
ent moment" said he, no man could know
what will be the result of the action of Con-
gress upon the man u facturers OF this country,
with the reformation OF the tariff in the hands
of men opposed to the present system, those
manufactures of the country which are built
upon the present SYSTEM must necessarily call
for a halt.
"I can characterize in a single phrase the
cause of the present condition of affairs. 1t is
tho Undiscoverable uncertainty of the future
of both the currency questions and the ques-

THURSDAY, AUG. %.

The Vice. President announced the appoint
ment of the Committee on the Commemoration
of the Tooth Anniversary of the Laying of the
Cornerstone of the Capitol as follows: Senators
Voorhees, Und., D., Sherman (Ohio, r. Ran
som IN. c., d., Chandler On. H.. RI, White
(Cal., d., Squire wash, r., and Martin Kan,
P.)
The House Joint resolution making the act
of May II. 1890. as to town sites, applicable TO
the Cherokee Outlet, was reported back from
the Committee on Public Lands with an
amendment requiring the trustees who are to
be appointed to be residents of the Territory of
Oklahoma at the time of their appointment,
and an effort was made by Mr.. Berry (Ark., D.
to have it passed, but objection was made by
Mr.. Manderson (Neb, r., and the bill was
placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Stewart (Nev. r. took the floor to ad-
dress the Senate, but it was claimed by Mr..
PETER Kan, P.) that he was entitled to the
floor, having given notice day prior to the
day when notice was given by Mr.. Stewart.
The latter claimed, however, that it was not
fair to deprive him now of his right to address
the Senate, iBasmuch as he had been excluded
yesterday morning by Mr. PETERS resolution
as TO National banks.
After some colloquy the Vice-President ruled
that, having recognized the Senator from Me-
vada, he was now under the painful necessity
of giving him the floor.
ThereupOn Mr.. PETER proceeded to address
the Senate claiming "a hearing because he rep
resented at least million and half of voters
who believed just as lie did. He criticised
some of the Presidents statements in the mes
sage to Congress, for the purpose of showing, he
said, that the trouble has not been caused by
any want of confidence on the part of the peo-
ple but that it had been caused by practical
treason on the part of a class which he hoped
The National tribune., 1893-08-31

An analysis of the vote shows that there
voted for free coinage 100 Democrats 13 Re-
publicans, and IL Populists, while the ma
jority against it was made up of 116 Democrats
and III Republicans. The names of the Re-
pubicans who voted for free coinage are ::
Aiken, of Michigan; Bowers, of California;
Broderick, of Kansas; Curtis of Kansas; Doc
little. of Washington; Funston, of Kansas !;
Hartman, of Montana Lucas, of South Da-
kota; Murray. of South Carolina Pickler, of
South Dakota; Post, of Illinois; Sweet, of
Idaho, and Wilson, of Washington.
There were 10 uncompromising silver men
who voted against even the Bland act and then
against repeal. They were: Broderick, (R.),
Kansas; Cannon, (R.) Illinois; Curtis. (R.),
Kansas; Hepburn, (R.), Iowa; Loud. (R), Cal
ifOrnia; Mallory, 3D.. Florida Marsh, (R.).
Illinois; Meiklejohn, (R.), Nebraska; Smith,
Illinois, Or. }, and Taylor, (R.), Tennessee.
Thus the House placed itself emphatically
on record against the free coinage of silver and
in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law.
The majorities were much larger than even
the frends'o the repeal bill could have hoped
for, but it is a significant fact that Republican
aid insured the action for repeal. How far this
vote will affect the vote in the Senate cannot be
predicted, although it is natural to suppose
that it will assist the cause OF repeal.

were cast in the face of letters from Grover
Cleveland defining unqualifedly his attitude
upon the proposition before the House.
The time for you men from Missouri to say
that you would desert the standard of the
Democracy unless free coinage was accepted
was then, not to-day. The New York Democ-
racy bowed humbly to the will of that conven-
tion. They Loyalty accepted its candidate and
its platform, and / say to you men of the South
that it was her vote that gave you the plank
for tariff for revenue only. They have never
deserted the South in her hours of trial. They
stood by her years ago up to the brink of ro-
bellion. They stood by you in crucial moments
In the 5lst Congress Common honor, let alone
chivalry, requires that the South shall not de-
sert them after placing them in the position that
they occupy to-day. We are supporting your
candidate and your President honestly, Loyalty
and proudly"
Quite number of other speeches were de-
livered during the day. The speech of the day
on the silver question was delivered by Mr..
Dalzell, of Pittsburg.
Tho House took recess from $50 to 8
o'clock, and, continuing debate, adjourned at IL
pm.
