Washington, Aug. 12 —It is re ported that there was a very signifi- ewt occurrence in the senate finance committee on Thursday. A motion was made authorizing the chairman to introduce a bill to so amend the law governing the issue of the na- tioval bank notes as to permit the issue of notes to the par value of the bonds. deposited as security therefor. This was agreed to, after a discus sion, by a majority of one. Then it was proposed to author- ize the chairman to report a bill to repeal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law, whereupou Mr. Vest is said to have made a speech denouncing the proposition and no tifyiog its friends that no bill which ignored silver could pass the senate a3 at present constituted. Under the influence of the remarks of Mr. Vest, the committee unanir-ously reconsidered its action on the silycr question and adjourned. The Remains of Jacob Kneisiey’s Two | Children Recovered.

Wastu gton, Aug 11.—The silver fizbt is fai the house and the probabilities are that August 28 the country will kuowjust how the representatives staud ou the matter. The bill for the unconditioval re- peal of the Sherman silver purchase law was introduced in the house as soon as it assembled to day by Mr. Wilson of West Virginia. in accord ance with zn agreement reached by the conference of silver and anti sil ver leaders. Thisagreement, which was arrived at fifteen minutes be fore the house met, provided that there should be general debate on a bill for the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law for eleven days, to be followed by debate for three days under the five minute rule, when voting will begin ou the bill and various silver amendments. Mr. Raynor opened the debate iu favor of unconditional repeal at 1:05 o’clock this afternoon after the house had ratified the agreement by a vote of 217 to 100. OFFER OF THE ANTI SILVER MEN. When the conference met last night the anti-silver men presented a bill providing simply for the re peal of the purchase clause of the act of July 14, 1890. The silver men opposed to this a bill providing that all holders of $100 or more silver bullion of standard weight should be entitled to have it coined iato sil- ver dollars at the mint, such coins to be full legaltender. The ratio was left blank to be fixed by the house. | The closing section provided for the repeal of the silver purchase law. After a long conference the| evening the anti silver men withdrew and prepared for submission to the silver men this morning a proposi tion that the house proceed to the discussion of a bill providing for} the purchasing clause of the Sher-| man law; that opportunity be given | to offer an amendment providing for | the free coinage of silver at a ratio | to be agreed upon by thesilver men, if possible; if not, then votes should be taken upon the different ratios | proposed.
