DINGLEY EXPLAINS HIS BILL. > SENATE, ‘The Senate joint resolution directing that.the names of sharpshooter and military service in- stitution medalists be inscribed in the Army Register and authorizing the wearing of deco- rations by such medalists, was reported back adversely and indefinitely postponed. MR. VEST AGAINST THE NEW SILVER PILL. The conference report on the silver bill was taken up. and Mr. Vest stated reasons why he should vote against the report, A large major- ity of the Senate had voted, he said, for the free coinage of silver, but the conference re- port absolutely did away with all idea of free coinage and was intended to continue the sys- tem under which silver had been persistently and consistently dezraded since 1873. He was anxious to sce an absolute parity be- tween the two metais as money metals. He would like to see the time when 16 ounces of silver would purchase an ounce of gold, and when an ounce of gold would continue (as at present) to purchase 16 ounces of silver. He read the closing cause of the second section of the conference bill: “It being the established policy of — the — United | States to maintain the two metals ona parity with each other upon the present legal ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law,” and asked why that declaration had been inserted—why that stump speech had been in- jected into the stomach of the bill, It had been put in (he said) for the purpose of saying to the ‘Treasury Department that until silver came to # parity with gold it should pay out gold and the public business should be conducted ON A GOLD Basis. He for one would never vote to maintain and continue that practice. He had never been ilver man” for the purpose of boom- ing silver or of increasing its price. He was against that and all other forms of subsidy. The conference bill might give an increased market for silver, but the principle for which the Senate voted—that the two metals should be on @ parity—had been given away in that bill absolutely and completely, MR. COKE AGAINST THE NEW BILL. Mr. Coke expressed his concurrence in the conclusion reached by Mr. Vest. He could not support the conference bill. ‘The Senate conferees had not represented the will of the Senate,which had been declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. On the contrary they had assented to a bill which provided definitely for the cessation of the further comage of silver at all. ‘There was no compulsion on the Secretary of the Treasury to coin after the lst of July, 1891. Silver coin- age was then left to the discretion of the Sec- retary, and such discretion was equal to stop- pine the coinage of silver. That was a fact well nown and admitted in debate, He was op- posed to the buying of a single ounce of silver that was to be coined, He was opposed to the United States going into the warehouse busi- ness for silver or for any other product. If silver was not to be coined why should it be purchased? If the object of the bill was to ad- vance the money power of silver why should its coinage be stopped when coinage alone con- ferred upon it the power of money? ‘Two-thirds of the people of the United States who were in favor of the free end unlimited coin- age of silver, and an admitted majority in the Senate, were checked at every turn by the Ex- ecutive and by the Secretary of the Treasury, He proposed to vote against the conference bill, because he preferred the law as it now stood, MR. SHERMAN DEFENDS THE CONFERENCE RE- PORT. Mr. Sherman defended and explained the conference report. The question had arisen in the conference committee, he said, whether the two houses could be bronght to an agree- ment on the two bills passed by them respect- ively. In the first section of the conference bill the language of the first section of the House billhad been retained somewhat, but the amount of silver to be purchased had been increased. Much to his regret it had’ been fixed ata larger amount than the entire American prod- uct of silver. It had been made mandatory (not permissive) on the Secretary of the Treas- ury to buy 4,500,000 ounces of silver cach month, which, at the rate of $1.29 an ounce (or sixteen to one) would amount to the yearly issue of about $70,000,000 1n treasury notes, THE LEGAL-TENDER CLAUSE in the House bill and of the Senate bill had been somewhat different and somewhat alike also. and the question had come up in confer- ence whether it would be right to deprive ci zens of the United States of the right to con- tract for payment of contracts in gold or any- thing else. It had therefore been agreed. nem con, that the Treasury motes to be issued for silver, like the silver doilar on which it was based, should be legal tender for all debts, pubhe and private, unless where otherwise stipulated in the contract. That same clause was to be found in the Bland bill. Mr. Stewart—Does the Senator from Ohio think that there is any danger of the Secretary of the Treasury failing to buy 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, if he can get it at less than par, as provided in the act? Mr. Sherman—Not the slightest. The Sen- ate cannot legislate on the idea that the offi- cers of the government will not execute the law. A suggestion has been made about the President and the Secretary of the ‘Treavury haunting the Capitol in regard,to the bill, 1 have not seen cither of them;andI do not think thata single conferee has seen either of them during the conference. The President of the United States will do what he thinks it his bounden duty to do under his obligation. As to his seeking to influence me, or wy seeking to influence him, that is rather beyond the bounds of reason. ‘MR. VOORHEES SAID that in the practice of his profession he always dreaded a packed jury. The trouble about the conference bill was not whether the Secretary of the Treasury would obey the law, but that every single section of the bill gave a discre- tion to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, who was “packed” against silver. That wae his dread about the bill and one of the strong reasons why he should not vote for it, Every single section of the bill conferred, and was intended to confer, a discretion on the Secretary of the Treasury, by which he could destroy, dishouor and degrade silver as money, The best evidence that that wasthe purpose of the bill was to be found in its advocates, He did not reflect upon the present Secretary of the Treasury. ‘ar from it, The Treasury Departmeut had been packed against silver ever since he (Mr. Voor- hees) had been a member of the Senate, not merely under the republican party, but under his own party, until he was weary ‘of it, He was amazed at the hardihood of Senators tak- ing back ull that they had said and done and voted within the last three weeks, A majority of seventeen in the Senate had voted for the free coinage of silver, and that majority had been treated as chaff by the con- ference committee, He would not say that the conference bill was acheat or a fraud; but, under its malign influence, silver, instead of being more potent as 4 factor in the prosperity of the people of the United States, would wither, shrink back and take its place as a miserabi commodity, instead of being clothed with the dignity of money, tion wh ence committee, and when the Senate was asked to recede, go back and to leave the wh the hostile shotild not vote vote agreed with the Senator from Texas (Mr. Coke) that the conference bill was mot improvement on the present law. It was more vague than the present law; more uncertain; left more discretion to the Secretary. and con- sequently, involved the interests of ‘the people in more doubt. [f any bill that bettered the present law; but 1e HOUSE, After prayer by the chaplain Mr. Rogers (Ark.) made the point of order that there was no quorum present. The Speaker was able to count but one hundred and twenty-two members, and, on motion of Mr. McKinley (Ohio) a call of the House was ordered. The call having disclosed the presence of one hun- dred and eighty-four members—more than a quorum—the journal of yesterday's proceed- ing was read. FORTHE ADMISSION OF WYOMING, On motion Mr, Baker (N.Y.) Senate amend- ments were concurred in to House bill for the admission of the state of Wyoming. On motion of Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) Senate amendments were concurred in to House bill granting aright of way through the United States military reservation at St. Augustine, Fla,, to the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax River Railroad Company. On motion of Mr. Carr (Wyo.) Senate amendments were concurred in to House bill for the dixposal of abandoned military reser- vations in Wyoming. The Speaker, having laid before the House Senate bill to adopt regulations for preventing collisions at sea, Mr. Diugley (Me.) asked for its immediate passage. 4 Mr. Cannon (IiL.) asked him to withdraw his request, as he had a report to make from the committee on rules relative to THE “ORIGINAL PACKAGE” BILL. Mr. Dingley thereupon asked that the bill be printed and remain upon the Speaker's table, Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) objected, saying that the saving of life at sea was more important than the passing of » bill for the benefit of pro- hibition cranks, SAFETY AT SEA. The bill having been read Mr. Dingley ex- plained that the purpose of the bill was the adoption of the reguintions to prevent col- lision at sea, which had been unanimously adopted by the international marine confer- ence, The members of the conference were of the opinion that the code of signals provided iu the bill would prove more effective than any other that could be devised. — 0° ENGLAND AND THE BEHRING SEA, The British Minister Denie Reports Reiterated. Alarming Sir Julian Pauncefote last evening denied the statement thathe had under instructions from the British foreign office broken off the ne- gotiations concerning the Behring sea trouble for the present and had informed the State Department that captured Canadian seal- era would be released by force if necessary. Sir Juhan Pauncetote is quoted as saying: “I have made no communication of the kind to Mr. Blaine. There is no doubt that our vessels in the northern Pacific are there to protect the British flag and our sealers, but I have not broken off negotiations, and there is no reason to expect a disturbance of the friendly relations existing between the two governments. On the contrary, Mr. Blaine ha been obliged to leave here for Bar Harbor, as J understand, for the benetit of his health, and has expressed himself as willing to continue the negotiations, and Iam abont to go to the neighborhood of Manchester-by-the-Sea, which is within easy access of Bar Harbor, and, as at present arranged, I shall continue from’ there the negotiations with Mr. Blaine.” Sir Julian said he did not know what instruc- tions had been given to the British fleet or the American revenue cutters, but be thought it unlikely that during friendly negotiations that anything would occur on one side or the other likely to provoke any disturbance of the cordial relations which happily continue between the two countries. “But,” he added, “the great point is that the negotiations have not been broken off, and that these alarmists reports, which really do much harm, are not correct.” THE REPORT REITERATED, The publication in Tue Star last night of the report that negotiations had been broken off attracted much notice all over the country. The denial of the statements by Minister Pauncefote caused many to discredit the alarin- ing rumors which received some confirmation in the reported movements of British naval vessels, Tne New York World today, notwith- standing Sir Julian Pauncefote’s demal, pub- lished the foliowing in a dispatch from Wash- ington: “The Worki's correspondent is able to state upon the highest authority that the negotia- tions between Secretary Blaine and the British government looking to a settlement of the Behring sea controversy have beeu abruptly terminated by the British minister, and that Sir Juhan Pauncefote has trans- mitted to the Secretary of State @ communication received from the London foreign office to the effect that should any vessel sailing under the flag of Great Britam be seized in Alaskan waters by United States revenue cutters the entire British squad- ron lying off Victoria will be instructed to re- capture the prize at any cost, without regard to possible cousequences.” At the State Department it was denied by Assistant Secretary Adee that any communica- tion of the character described bad been re- ceived from the British minister, IT MAY BE A QUESTION OF WORDS. The statement made in Tue Stan last night was published in a number of papers with more or less amplification. The authority upon which Tur Stan's brief paragraph was based is such thata denial from Sir Julian is ex- tremely surprising. The difficulty must lie in the terms employed in making the statement, not in the substance of the paragraph, THE PRESIDENT’S RETURN. He is Expected at the White House This Afternoon. The President, who left Cape May Point this morning for Washington, is expected to reach here at 3:50 this afternoon. It is likely he will wish he had not left the place of breezes and salt water, for it has been sweltering hot at the White House all day.

The Dry Atmosphere Saves the City from Sunstrokes. Cmicago, July 8.—Yesterday was the hottest ben of the season. It was more than that. It was the hottest day in Chicago since July 17, 185%. On that date the thermometer went up to 4 degrees, Yesterday 93 2-10 was the hottest and that was at4 o'clock, It steadily fell from that hour. At 10 o'clock it was only 79. The wind was from the south all day, blowing at the rate of from 20 to 30 miles an hour. “Tuis weather will probably continue for a couple of days.” Sergeant Frankenfield said. “Shere is a low barometer in the north, along the Canadian border, and a high barometer in the gulf states. The barometer ix fallin slightly in the south, so that though the win will be southerly it will more likely be from the southeast than the southwest, and for reason a little cooler. ature will probably be somewhere about %® di grees. There is very little humidity in the atmosphere, The rain is all up north, was a trace of rain at North Platte. that was as far south as it got, I can't prom- ive any rain here right away.” Although yesterday was nearly a degree hotter than any one of the eight days of hot weather through which the city has just passed there were comparatively few cases of sun- stroke reported and no deaths. This was doubtless due in a great measure to the dryness of the atmosphere, The day opened a little warmer than it did yesterd. the lowest point touched by the mercury's top being 76 degrees, but it did not rise as ‘rapidly as it did yesterday. There were clouds overhead and there was a good breeze from the southwest, At 10 o'clock the thermometer marked 83 degrees. THE PRESIDENT’S RETURN.
