WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE necessi-
ty of immediate and thorough organi-
zation to push bimetallism to the
front was discussed at special
conference of the American BIZ
metallic league which convened here
Thursday. Thirty or forty mem
bers of the league from various
states were present, Gen. A. ]. War
ner, president Of the league, acted as
chairman, and among those present
were Senator Stewart, of Nevada, Con-
gressmen Pence and Bell, Of Colorado,
Judge Shelton, of Connecticut and G.
s. Thomas, of Colorado.
f WAsn1NGToN, Aug. 2O-The policy
to be pursued in advancing the princi-
pies of bimetallism was outlined at
Fridays session Of the American BIZ
metallic league conference. Speeches
were made by several congressman and
by delegates from various states. A
declaration Of principles, Of which the
following is synopsis, was adopted:
It recounts the repeal Of the silver purchase
law and establishment Of the single gold
standard has been followed by steadily in
creasing depression; that gold has steadily In
creased In value; Industries everywhere are
-paraiyzed; labor is unsteady and precarlous;
business enterprise Is imperiled and debt
ors made bankrupt. u IS asserted
that there is no hope of relief until
the double standard OF 16 to is re-
stored, and that the money question Is the
supreme issue before the country. Voters are
urged to make this issue paramount to all
other considerations in the election OF state
legislatures, congr essmen and president. It is
recommended that convention be held at
some central point In both the mining and ag-
ricultural states to perfect an organization to
work for this end and that com mittee Of five
be appointed to carry out the plan.

Mobile Has the Honor OF Having This
Beautiful Mountain of Flowers.
''The largest rose bush in the United
States is in Mobile, Ala" said citizen
OF New Orleans to a reporter for the
st. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat. "It belongs
to the species which, in common par
lance, is known as the cluster musk
rose, and blossoms so luxuriously that
during the season from three to four
bushels of roses have been gathered in
one week, and when shedding its
petals the ground beneath is complete
~ covered with its fragrant blossoms. |.
Its trunk for FIVE feet from the
ground, is nearly foot in circumfer-
ence, and it has been estimated that il
Its branches grew on one cont nuous
vine 1t would exceed mile in length.
These branches have entirely covered
the side Of the house near which the
bush grows, and have extended to the
neighboring trees surrounding it, SO
that when it is in bloom it forms per-
n ct bower of roses.

Secretary Carlisle Fears It's Abolition
Would Cause q Deficit.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II - Secretary
Carlisle has written letter to Senator
Harris, acting chairman of the finance
committee, which was read in the
senate. The secretary reviewed the
condition of the treasury and the
estimated revenues of the govern
ment for the next fiscal year.
The figures showed that under the
tariff bill just sent to the presi-
dent, the revenues would exceed the
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1895, SIS, 900, 600. The reyen-
ues from the sugar duty Mr.. Carlisle
placed at $4s,OO0,0 900 and from coal,
iron ore and barbed wire 81, 600, 900. If
the house supplementary bills were
passed there will, Mr.. Carlisle said, be
a deficiency next year of $29. OOO, 900.
The secretary concludes his letter as
follows:
In view OF the existing and prospective re-
Quirements I am OF the opinion that It would
not be safe to place all the articles enumerated
in your letter, or even sugar alone, upon the
free list without imposing taxation upon other
articles or subjects sufficient to raise an an
nual revenue Of about $50 600 900"

RIVER AND HARRoR BILL.
It Becomes q Law Without the President,

It Becomes q Law without the Presidents
Signature.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 20. The river and
5harbor bill, carrying $1l,479, 100, be-
came law at midnight Saturday night
without President Cleveland's sigma
ture, the legal limit of ten days hav-
ing expired within which he could
sign or veto it. It is the third time
since Mr.. Cleveland's two terms that
river and harbor bill has become law
without his approval, the only other
bill of this kind submitted to him hav-
ing been vetoed. Fears were expressed
up to late honr Saturday that
the present bill would be vetoed,
as Mr.. Cleveland made it known
to the river and harbor managers
several months ago that he did not want
the total of the bill to exceed $4,000
600. Aside from the amount carried
by the bill the sundry civil
appropriation bill also carries So, 4OO,-
600 for river and harbor contracts,
making total for this class of work
of $19, S7s,150. This is about 50, 900, 900
less than the amount given for river
and harbor work for the first session
of the last congress-. An important.
feature of the new bill is that it au-
thorizes no new contracts.

r. G. DUN & CO.'S OPINION.
Report on the business Situation In Many

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
"The new tarin, II signed by the president as
expected. provides definite basis for BUSH
ness. No supplemental legislation IL
thought possible until next year at least.
Large Improvement has been expected from
any settlement, the more because Of vast
amount OF business deferred from week to
week In the hope Of more definite conditions.
The rush of such business, or even q part Of 1t,
might easily double transactions for time. It
Is not to be overlooked. that the effect OF; new.
duties upon many branches Of industry and
trade is problematical, and may be deter
mined only after some months Of experience,
and meanwhile the serious injury to corn and
some of the conditions exercise restraining
influence. It 10 too early to look for effects Of
the new situation In the great industries, but
the gradual recovery which has appeared for
some time is seen In q better demand for

SUGAR III The SENATE.

Debate Begun on This Bill senator
vests Bitter Attack ON tho President.
WNeAsHINaToN, Aug. 17.-For five
hours Wednesday afternoon the senate
debated the question Of proceed.
ing Immediately to the consid-
Grafton of the house bill plac-
ing sugar, raw and refined, on
the free list. Secretary Carlisle's
letter stating that the free entry OF
sugar would deprive the treasury dur
ing the next fiscal year of $43, 900, 600
revenue and cause deficit of $50, 600.
goo, which was read in the senate, was
made the justification of Senator Har.
ris' motion to refer the bill to the com
mtttee on finance.
Senator Vest spoke on the motion to
refer the free sugar and other bills to
the finance committee. He said il
meant the death of the bills, as the
committee was now politically a
tie, with the prospect of the dis
appearance of a quorum within
a few days. He declared the po-
sition of the senate on the tariff
had been INDICATED by the letter Of
Secretary Carlisle, which proved CON
clusively that If the house bill had
been enacted it would have caused a
deficiency Of $50, 10000 He argued
that the power acquired by the sugar
trust was the result of its fostering by
the provisions of the Mckinley law.
And yet, said Senator Vest, with Bit
terness, they call us the creatures Of
the sugar trust" The senator paused
for a moment and then, with intense
earnestness, added: Liars, slanderere,
infamous libelers.
Senator Vest then bitterly attacked
the president for his severe criticism
on the action of the senate. claiming
that in SO doing he acted in any
thing but good faith, having assured
those who had given almost their
lives in the preparation of this bill"
that he was satisfied with its provis-
ions. In concluding Senator Vest
said:
sonal motives in what have done In connec-
ton with this blll-but my connection with it
Is now ended simply answer him as Marmion
to Douglas:
Lord Angus, thou hast lied. :"
Senator Mills Tex took the floor
and spoke long and eloquently in de-
Tense of President Cleveland He said:
II regret to see my friend attack the presi-
dent Of the United States and the leader OF
our party. I believe he is honest; be-
lIeve he Is trying to carry out the will
of 100000 democratic voters. The let
ter Of Secretary Carlisle is no condemna-
ton Of the presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson.
The presidents letter to Mr. Wilson was writ
ten because we departed from the democratic
principles OF free raw materials. The presi-
dent wanted to give employment to the idle
people Of the United States.
I'VE do not accept this as the final settle-
ment OF the tarin. We intend to continue the
crusade OF tariff reform until the people are no
longer ground down by burdens which are
