SECOND DAY.

The Trans Mississippi Congress re-
assembled this morning Mt 10 o'clock.
The interest in the organization Of
the congress centers 80 far in the
selection of a President. Governor
Mcconnell, of Idaho, is plainly the
favorite, with A. @. Fisk as q close
second. Both men are distinguished
for their audacity.
Mcconnell, as U. S. Senator from
the new State of Idaho, startled that
staid body by declaring that the gov
eminent mortgage Of twelve million
on the Southern Pacific was changed
from a first to q second mortgage
through the payment of s5(N,0O0 Of
English money. and challenged the
Senate to call for dates, figures and
names, a challenge which was not &C
copied.
A. @. Fisk recently called down
upon his head the denunciation Of the
eastern press by suggesting at the
session Of the Bimetallic League at
Washington that it might soon be-
come necessary for the western States
to seek alliance with the silver pro-
ducing countries of Central and
South America.
Governor Prince, Of New Mexico,
introduced Governor A. L. Thomas, Of
Utah, who had been detained from
yesterdays session by railroad &C.
cident. Soon after he began his
speech he was interrupted by the ar
rival Of Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
Senator Warren, Of Wyoming, and
Hon. T. M. Patterson, Of Denver.
These gentlemen were received by
the members with prolonged ap-
plause, amounting almost to an ova-
ton.
Governor Thomas, in bis speech,
took advanced ground on the silver
question. At the close Of his address
resolutions were introduced by Mon
tana ON the mineral lands in the grant
to the Northern Pacific; by Secretary
Brady, Of the Galveston Chamber of
Commerce, regarding the harbor Of
that city.
A. G. Fisk, of Denver, introduced a
series Of resolutions covering every
subject that it was proper to take ac-
tion on, which led the Chairman of
the Kansas delegation to state that
not having the work distinctly
specified he would like to know
if the Kelley cure had been on.

CHICAGO, July S.-"That man ought to
be hanged. He knows he is lying when
he makes the statement that he does and
covertly insinuates that honorable men
have been guilty of dishonest and
scoundrelly acts" These words of wrath
came from Senator John Sherman drawn
out by charge brought against him and
others by James II. Platt, president OF the
Denver Paper Mills Company, of Denver,
in a communication to newspaper. The
charge is in connection with the passage
by congress of the law of 1873 demonetiz-
ing silver known as the demonstration
act.
Mr.. Plat in effect charged that Senator
Sherman while acting as member of the
conference committee on the bill, did, IN
conjunction with other members OF the
committee surreptItiously insert clause
in one section OF the bill repeating free
coinage and struggled it through both
houses, and that no member of the house
or even President Grant, when he signed
the bill had the faintest suspicion that
such clause was contained IN the bill.
Platt further intimated that advantage
was taken OF this secret clause by MEM
! bers of of the conference committee foI
speculation purposes.
Mr.. Sherman, commenting further on
the Plat charges, said: "He is simply
revamping some old charges that were
exploded long ago. So eminent a Demo

the charges when they were first given

CHICAGO, July S.-The fine weather OF
July is beginning to tell perceptibly on
the attendance at the fair, the daily aver
age showing gradual but constant in
crease, and officials expect this to con-
tinue until early in autumn. Estimates
of the railroads seem to justify the ex-
pectation of fair officials that the attend
ance the last months of the fair will show
a great increase. Again the period OF
selfish amity among railroad officials hav-
ing passed and the railroads having be-
gun to cut rates in their greed for patron
age, the approaching era of cheap travel
cannot fail to show an enormous increase
in the number OF visitors from distance.
The completion of the Lone Star state
building was celebrated today in way
likely to strike popular sentiment and be
initiated by many other state commits
sioners. 1t was by the inauguration of a
series of musical recitals TO be given by
amateur talent in the auditorium, hand

BUzzARD's BAY, July s.-The presi-

goes about the house and on the veranda
and gradual improvement is noticeable.
Mrs. Cleveland said at noon that Mr..
Cleveland was feeling better but did not
care to see callers.
Colonel Lamont stated that the presi-

noon but stiff breeze was blowing and it
was doubtful if he would venture on the

diminished and the big shoe is now sew

DR.. Bryant and Colonel Lamont both
say that their is nothing the matter with
Cleveland except rheumatism and that is
yielding to rest and quiet, which the
president is now enjoying.
Mr.. Cleveland still denies himself to
callers, but made an exception in the case
of Joe Jefferson yesterday and today he

IHI GERMAN ARMY BILL.
Speeches For and Against the
Measure Made Yesterday.
OTHER ADDRESSES TO COME.
The Discussion Will Be Prolonged for
More than Week.
All Speakers Thus FariHave Avoided Any
Reference to a Compromise-Richter-
lists Want an Entire suspension or
Import Duties on Fodder.

BERLIN, July S.-The speeches made
for and against the army billin the reich
stag yesterday and today were of purely
partisan character, indicating nothing
of the under currents which may ulti-
mately GU de the votes of several parties.
Each speaker indicated the known pro-
gramme and avoided any reference to
compromise. 1t is obvious that the de-
termination of large number OF MEM
bers to be heard on the bill implies that
the discussion will last until the end OF
next week.
Wednesday next is the day for private
motions and the Centrists will then raise
the question of the readmission OF the
Jesuits into Germany. The Freisininge
papers persist IN stating that the
governments support of, or refraining
from opposing the Ultramontainist pro-
posal will be the price paid the Centrists
for their support of the bill. Both Cen
trists leaders and the government ad-
herents deny that there is compact. Cen
trists in the Hobbies today said it was
not Jesuit, but a taxation question
upon which the Centrists declared an ar
rangement for their support was possible.
While Herr Croeber proclaimed no COM
promise in the house, members OF the
Lieber wing of the party stated in the
lobby that If the chancellor would pledge
the government to cover the increase in
expenditures by progressive imperial
tax on incomes of over 12,0 900 marks, the
Centrists would vote for the bill. Pri-
vately they are angling for deal which
will likely be arranged, giving the gov
eminent a large majority. DR.. Lieber
means to insist that the bill go to the
committee, and this will give time for
negotiations to be carried on.
The National Liberals have given notice
of motion in regard to The distress
caused by the drought, and also in regard
TO lack OF fodder.
The Richterists will propose an entire
suspension of import duties on fodder
until May, 1894, and the socialists will
support the measure. For the first time
in the history of the reichstag the social
lists have obtained the craftsmanship OF
one of the permanent committees.
The election for members Of the Bava-
rian landstag is proceeding. For the
first time the socialists have captured
seats, two of their candidates beIn e
elected in Munich. They also won seats
in Nuremberg, Augsburg and Bamberg

BEHRING SEA COURT.
The Closing Address Concluded by Mr..
Phelps

Phelps.
PARIS, July s.-Hon. E. J. Phelps, of
counsel for the United States, finished his
closing address before the Behring sea
tribunal of arbitration today. He op-
posed the British proposal to establish a
twenty mile zone within which sealing
should be prohibited, basing his objec
ton on the inefficiency of the proposal
and upon the impossibility of setting the
ing to compare the present British pro-
posals with those made by Lord Salisbury,
he was interrupted by Sir Charles, of
counsel for Great Britain, who said Lord
Salisbury denied having made the pro-
posals referred to. Mr.. Phelps replied by
reading Lord Salisbury's dispatches. He
showed that Lord Salisbury only receded
after Canada had interposed.
He then resumed his argument in sup
port of the American prohibition of
Pelagic sealing over the entire route fol-
lowed by the seals in migration, which
route extends as far as San Francisco. If
the arbitrators, he said, did not recognize
that the United States had property
rights in herd, concurrent regulations
would consequently be necessary.
AT lQlS pOluJ 1OuS discussion LOOK
place about dealing with vessels seized.
and whether they should be taken TO the
nearest American port or to British
port. When the discussion was finished
Mr.. Phelps proceeded.
He charged that the British desired a
tribunal to protect Pelagic hunters and
didn t aim to secure the preservation OF
the seal herd. He closed his plea elo-
quently. Every word was listened
to with the closest attention by
the large audience. America he
said, stood on the justice of her
case" He dwelt at some length upon
the moral Importance of the tribunal s de-
cision. From this decision he said the
only appeal was to the Judgment Of
civilization and history.
Baron De Courcel, president of the tri-
bunal complimented Mr.. Phelps upon
his skill and eloquence in dischargine
the difficult task OF closing an eloquent
debate and said: 81 beg to be allowed tc
consider the laurels which you won al

He Says the Issue Is Between Sherman
and the Record.
DENVER, COL, July s.-Colonel James
Platt was shown copy of the dispatch
Tuesday in which Senator Sherman de-
MES the charges that the bill demonetiz-
ing silver in 1873 was struggled through
Congress without debate or knowledge of
either house. MIR. Pratt said: "There
is no issue of veracity between Sherman
and myself. 1t is entirely between Sher-
man and the congressional record.
He will not deny that the
eleven words which took away
from silver its minting privilege
were added to the bill by the conference
committee on claims, or that the repeal of
free coinage, which these words cause,
had been discussed or suggested in either
house of the Forty second Congress or
referred to his committee. Neither will
he claim that in presenting the report to
the Senate after those words had been
added by the conference committee that
he or any one else called attention to the
addition, or that Hooper, of Massachu-
sets, in presenting his report to the
House alluded in any way to this most
important amendment.
81 did not charge Sherman with hav-
ing taken advantage of his knowledge for
speculative purposes. l did say that few
men who knew that the minting privilege
had been taken from silver had great
opportunity for speculation but did not
charge that they took advantage of it.
The Congressional Record is on file at
every public library and anyone who
cares to know the truth of this matter
has only to take the record and follow the
bill through from its first introduction to
its final passage. -

7HE PONEROY CALAMITY.
Forty-Four Dead Bodies Taken
from the Ruins.
UNUSUALLY SAD SCENES.
Strong Men Compelled to Turn Away
from Some Of the Sights.
Two Hundred and Eight Residences Swept
Completely Away, Not a Board Left
Standing-Every Business House
Damaged-The Town Ruined.

PoMERoY, Ia, July S.-The dead here
now number forty-four. 1t is one of the
saddest scenes ever witnessed and even
the strongest are compelled to turn away
from some of the sights at the city hall
hospital where the worst Of the 10S in
jured are. Every dwelling left standing
can well be termed hospital as all were
opened to the sufferers and contain two to
eight each. Charles Rusen, a bright
child OF four years, died at midnight.
Governor Boies is still on the ground
doing all in his power for the comfort OF
the wounded. Physicians and nurses are
needed badly. There are only ten doc
ors here today and calls cannot be
promptly answered, nslghboring towns
and cities are providing nurses literally
but more are needed. OF injured, twelve
TO twenty more will die.
Reports are being hourly received from
the rural districts. 1t seems that the
storm started mile west of Cherokee and
followed closely the Illinois Central rail-
road, cutting a swath a quarter to halt
mile wide, completely demolishing every
thing in its path for distance of sixty
miles.
Near Fonda Mrs. e. S. Gordon and two
children were killed. Near Newell John
DetwiIer was killed and his wife fatally
hurt. In Wright county, eight miles
west OF Belmont, John Loubon and
daughter were killed. The total deaths

VACANT JUDGSHIP.
A Large Number of Names Suggested to
Succeed Blatchford.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The circuit from
which the late Associate Justice Batch
ford was appointed to the Supreme Court
contains the districts OF northern, south
ern and eastern New York, Vermont and
Connecticut, and contains so many law
yers of eminence that President Cleve-
land is likely to be embarrassed in choos-
ing successor to the dead jurist. Among
those suggested are e. j. Phelps Of Ver-
mont. Another name is 3. Henry La
combe, Judge of the United States cir
cult court of the southern district of
New York. Other names from
New York are those of James C. Carter
and Frederick G. Coudert. Connecticut
possesses a possibility in the person of
Charles French. The names of both Sec
retaries Gresham and Carlisle are men
toned, but it can be stated with conf
dence that the place will not be offered to
either OF these gentlemen.
The ;Star has this suggestion: "Now
is the time for President Cleveland to
upset another party tradition and set a
new political precedent by appointing
President Harrison to the vacancy on
the Supreme bench"

OPPOSES TIE ARMY BILL
Groeber for the Centrists Speaks Against
the Measure.

the Measure.
BERLIN, July Sat today's session of
the reichstag Groeber spoke against the
army bill in the name of the Central
party. The Centrists, he declared
firmly opposed the bill and all newly
elected representatives of that party are
pledged against it. From military point
of view the bill is needless, from an
economical standpoint 1t is ruinous and
it would be better for the government
to enter into and organize a federation
with Austria than increase the army
superfiuously. The present government
game is to secure the mouse trap ma ior-
| ity. Doubtless if the house knew how
the government intended to cover the
extra cost involved by the measure, it
would not be able to find majority.
Boeckel, anti-Semite, said the members
of that party would only vote for the bill
on condition that the costs be covered by
taxes exacted only from the rich, and to
secure antiSemite support Caprivi must
declare that the government would not
increase the indirect food tax. Boeckel
declared that the anti-Semites would
strive to abolish the possibility of heap
ing up enormous fortunes like those pos
sessed by the Rothschilds and Bleichroed-
CTS. he duueu Vic DILL uuoO NC du dDSO-

Caprivi reiterated the statement he
made yesterday, that at present it was
| impossible to give the details of the fnan-
cial plan to cover the increased expendi-
ture that would be incurred through
meeting the governments demands.
| He asked Boeckel to trust the govern
ment's honesty and promised to relieve
weak shoulders of the burden of increased
| taxation. 'sOnly the well-to-do,'' he
said, twill be called upon to pay the new
