THE REPEAL BILL.
Silver Men Figuring on the Majority in
the House.


the House.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-The Daily Neacs
special from Washington says: 1t be-
comes apparent as the debate in the
House progresses that the test of the
strength between the silver and the anti
silver mea forces will be shown on the
substitute for free coinage at ratio of Is
to 1 instead OF ratio of 20 to l, which has
been the popular impression among the
anti-silver men. The weak points in the
scale of the ratios above 16 to have de-
veloped gradually.
Messrs. Bland, Bryan and other veter-
an silverites are telling their followers
that an increase in the ratio would be a
concession to the single gold standard, for
it would be an admission that the future
use of silver for money must depend on
its intrinsic value and not on the stamp of
the government, and would be subject to
change just as the price of bullion fuctu-
ates.
The silver leaders agree with Bryan
that bimetallism does not depend on any
fixed ratio, but may exist as well at ra-
ito OF is to / as at ratio of 30 to l. The
free silver leaders are counselling their
followers to mass their strength on a
substitute of 16 to l and many of them
will decline to vote at higher ratio, on
the ground that it would be a degradation
OF the white metal as monetary stand
ard.
The silver men admit now that the re-
peal bill will pass the House by a larger
majority because of peculiar variety OF
free coinage views, but they hope that
the Senate will return the bill to the
House with certain concessions to silver
coinage.

TWO BRUTAL PBHEEIGHTS.
Both Are Fought at the Coney
Island Club.
CAHILL Is PUT TO SLEEP.
He Is Rendered Unconscious in the
Third Round.
The Second Match Was n Bloody One,
Cattenach, Who Was Defeated by
O'Donneu Being Horribly Bat
tered Up and Pummeled.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Two matches
were pulled off at the Coney Island Ath-
letic club tonight. Both were brutal
enough to satisfy any of the ''sports"
present. The first was between Pat Ca
hill of Jersey City and Tim Sullivan Of
New York for purse OF 81 600. Cahill
was not in it, as Sullivan batteredlhim as
ne pleased, and finally in the third round
put him to sleep so effectually with q
punch On the point OF the jaw that Ca
hill was not revived for five minutes.
The next match was between John Cat
tenach of Providence and Steve O'Don-
nell OF Australia for twenty rounds or
more for q g, 500 purse, $500 to the loser.
This vas also handled affair, Cat
tenach not being at all a match for the
Australian. The latter demonstrated his
superiority from the start.
In the Fourth Cattanach began to
weaken and O'Donnell landed when and
where be pleased and sent his opponent
down several times, and in less than g
minute blood was flowing down Cattan-
Iach' breast from his face and he was
staggering about in a pitiful manner.
The Referee attempted out of pity to stop
the match, but just then Cattanach re-
yived slightly and, rushing past him,
landed savagely on O'Donnel. The lat
ter then went at the Providence man like
an infuriated bull and landed many
vicious blows. The gong Just saved Cat
tanach and Jimmy Carroll then threw up
the sponge.
Cattanach proved to be very damaged
man. A physician had to be summoned
to fix his face, which was in a horribly
battered condition.

THI SENATE REPEAL BILL.
It Is Reported by the Finance
Committee.
FULL TEXT OF THE BILL.
1t Will Be Called Up on Next
Tuesday.
Senator voorhees, viii at That Time De
liver Speech the Financial
Question When a Vote
VIII Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The votes by
which the Senate commute on finance re-
peal bill was reported are Chairman Voor-
hees and Senators Mcpherson, Morrill,,
Sherman. Allison and Aldrich, the last
four Republicans. The text of the bill is:
ssThat SO much of the act approved
July IA, 1890, entitled, AN act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and the
issue of treasury notes thereon and for
other purposes, as directs the secretary
of the treasury to purchase from lime to
time silver bullion to the aggregate
amount of $500, GOO ounces, or SO much
thereof as may be offered in each month,
at the market price therefor not exceed
ing 81 for 81 25-l0O grains OF pure SILVER,
and to issue in payment for
such purchases treasury notes
of the United States, be and the
same is hereby repealed, and it is hereby
declared to be the policy OF the United
States to continue the use of both gold
and silver as standard money and to coin
both gold and silver into money OF
equal intrinsic and exchangeable value;
such equality to be secured through in
ternational agreement or by such safe
guards of legislation as will insure the
maintenance OF ,sarity in the value of
coins of the two metals and an equal
power of every dollar at all times In the
markets and in payment of debts. And
it is hereby further declared that the eff
forts OF the government should be stead
lily directed to the establishment OF such
safe system of bimetallism as will main
tain at ali times the equal powers of every
dollar coined or issued by the United
States in the markets and in payment OF
debts.
Senator Voorhees, will not, IS he had
originally intended, ask the Senate to fix
a day for the vote on the bill. He said
this morning that he did not think vote
would be had on it for some time, as there
appears TO be disposition on the part OF
the Senators to debate the measure for an
indefinite time. He will call it up next
Tuesday. at which time he will make a
speech on the financial question gen.
orally.
There has been some quiet talk among
the anti-silveT zaen of the committee as
10 the chances of a vote and final action
on the bill. and it is ascertained that
while they feel pretty certain the bill can
pass the House, they appear by no means
sanguine of the Senate. There seems
to be feeling that the bill OF
Mr.. Vest establishing free coinage at q
ratio of 20 to 1 may possibly be
successful. In that event, even
they look for the final triumph of the
administration measures. The two bills
WOULD then go ~ conference, and In that
stage OF proceedings the Senate could |,
without sacrificing its dignity, which 1t
SO zealously guards, receoe from its posi-
ton and adopt the bill of the House. II
Is believed that the members favorable to
free coinage having by that time put
themselves on record would be willing to
vote to recede and straight repeal would
90 to the president for his signature.

HOME RULE BILL.
Gladstone VIII Move a Cioture Cd Friday


Gladstone Will Move CIoture Cd Friday
Next,
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-In the house OF
commons today Gladstone announced
that on Monday he would move the adop-
ton OF a resolution to apply cloture to
the report stage of the home rnle bill on
Friday next.
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, leader
of the Unionists, gave notice that be
would move as an amendment to Glad
stones resolution that the house declare
the governments proposal to degrade the
house into voting machine was depriv-
ing the British majority of their consritu-
tional rights and ought therefore to be
withdrawn and that parliament ought to
be dissolved at the earliest opportunity.
Thomas G. Bowles, Conservative,
asked whether the award of the Behring
tribunal of arbitration imposed upon
Great Britain obligations to forbid pelagic
sealing by British subjects at any time
whatever within the slxty-mile zone
around Pribyloff Island. He also de-
sired to be informed whether it put other
restraints upon British sealers while it
imposed no obligation on the United
States to restrict sealing on the island at
any time. Further Mr.. Bowles said he
desired to be informed whether the effect
of the award would not be to give a
practical monopoly Of the sealing in
dustry to Americans.
The foreign secretary replying said it
was not considered that the effect of the
award would be to give the Americans q.
monopoly of the industry. The award
imposed certain obligations upon the
United States as well as upon Great
Britain, and ne could not admit these
obligations would act to the prejudice OF
British interests as Bowles had sug-
gested by his questions.
Eventually Cham berlain modified his
proposed amendment by emitting the
words calling for an early dissolution.

Two of them attracted great attention by
their wonderful feats in their little dug

HOW cold Is Round.

Gold is found, not in big, bright
Jumps, as you may suppose, but in dirty
sand, which has only a slight yellow
look to it to let you know there is gold in
it. The biggest piece OF gold that was
ever found in one lump was only as big
as walnut. 1t was called a nugget. All
Jumps of solid gold are called nuggets.
Jumps of gold ore with sand in them and
pieces of stone are frequently found as
big as musk melon; but they are not
pure gold and have to go through great
deal of preparation before they can besold
for gold.
Finding gold, or mining, is one Of the
principal industries of Montana and
Colorado. Little boys, not over 10 years
old, are often very lucky in finding the
yellow nuggets, and sometimes a little
lad will pick up quart of them in day
in little tin pail. AS general thing
washing the gold and out of the dirt is. a
very slow and tiresome work, and not at
all pleasant; but it is like hunting for
field Strawberries sometimes you find a
big berry, and then you forget bow
tired you are.-Nelo York Ledger.

The Philosophical Summer Rest House.


Four miles from Corinth and nine
miles from Saratoga is the Theosophical
Summer Rest house. 1t stands on farm
of $50 acres, extending on the west to
within two miles of the Hudson. The
ssretreat'' was quietly established two
months ago and there are now quite
number of believers in rebirth from New
York and Brooklyn and other eastern
cities at the farm. Miss Lizzie Chaplin,
one of the teachers whom the lady gov
ernors of the Wilson Mission dismissed
for being theosophist, was the origina-
tor of the idea, but to G. II. G. Masch-
medt of University place, belongs the
credit of having contributed the use OF
the farm, of which he is the owner. On
the farm stands a big barn and a little
house. and the sojourners are building
big addition to the house. 1t
is proposed to make the retreat
a permanent one, so the men put
in each several hours day in digging
planting, ETC.. besides the building of the
house. It is the duty of the women to
keep house and furnish three vegetarian
meals a day, as it so happens that all the
Theosophists at present on the farm are
vegetarians. Glasses are held at regular
hours during the day for the study Of
Theosophy, and there is also active prop
uganda among the farmers. Meetings
are shortly to be held on the farm, to
which all farmers in the vicinity will be
invited, and then the mysteries of the
s'Wisdom Religion" will be unfolded to
them. 1t is also proposed TO make con-
quest of Saratoga, arrangements now be-
ing made to secure hall there for Sun
day lectures .-Nelo York World.

claring it TO be the policy of the United

stituse for the bill. The substitute fixes
the number of grains OF silver in coins Of

-FOUR BANKS CLOSE.
Every Bank in Lemars, Ia, Fails to
Open Yesterday.


LEMARs, Ia, Aug. 1s.-Four banks at
this place failed to open their doors this
morning. They are the First National,
capital 500, GOO; Lemars National, same
capital; German-American Savings, $780,
900 capital; and German State bank,
$50, 0O0. Ali have large surplus accounts
and have been ranked among the best in
situations in the state. They closed be-
cause of the impossibility of getting cash.
All were in good condition for ordinary
times, but the Withdrawals of cash had
been steady and collaterals could not be
realized on. The action of the banks was
complete surprise, and has caused a
panic in town. Officers of the banks say
they will pay every dollar when they can
liquidate advantageously.
On the door of each was posted a notice
stating that lowing to the constant
Withdrawal of deposits this bank is
closed by order OF the directors and all
depositors will be paid in full" The Le-
mars National bank informed the other
banks last night that it would be unable
to open this morning, and as means of
self-protection the other banks closed.
Bank examiners are expected in day or
so and the banks all expect to resume
business again,

Communication.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Secretary Car
Isle sent to the Senate today communi-
cation in reply to resolution requesting
certain information from the United

lars. He added:
SIN further response to the resolution
have to say that recently gold coin has
been presented at the Office of this de-
partment and silver dollars asked in ex-
change therefor, and that the exchange

required, under provisions of laws relat-
ing TO currency, to be held IN the treasury

July IA, 1880.
