TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 22.—Telegrams re- ceived here this morning show that the threats made by President Walters of the Coal Miners’ Union to prevent miners go- ing to work at Frontenac in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company's | mines were not idle. At a meeting held in Frontenac Sunday he said that the strik- ers should not carry out the contract made with the company until it has been sanc- toned by the union. He declared then that he would bring two thousand men to Fron- tenae to drive all persons from the mine: The first company of the 2,000 men, ty in number, arrived at Frontenac last’ night and went into camp near the mines, At 3 o'clock this morning 300 more of Walter's men arrived from Weir City and Pittsburg and went into camp. The manager of the mine called on the sherif? of Crawford | county, who deputized as many merchants | and professional men as he could find before | daybreak this morning. and started for the | scene of the threatened battle. Guns were | telegraphed for to all the neighboring towns by Manager Wilson, who is in charge of the Santa Fe mines, and every possible prepara- tion was made’ to protect miners who de- sired to resume work ‘The sheriff is handicapped in getting men sufficient to cope with Walters’ crowd, and if the threatened clash should come he will be compelled to ask the governor for the militia. Thirty men went to work at the mines at 6 o'clock this morning, but the | presence of Walters and his crowd intim dated a large majority of those who signed the agreement. Two hund-ed were ready to go into the pits this morning, but they were prevented | 4\ from doing so by Walters and his mob. The | company will resist with all the force that | it is able to muster any attempt on the | part of the strikers to move upon the com- | any's property. and unless Walters backs down from his present warlike attitude bloodshed will certainly result today. oe Sees STRIKING LONGSHOREMEN.

At pier 16 of the Ward line, Superintendent Gibb said they had secured enough men to load the steam- | er Saratoga on time. Early this morning the tug Starbuck landed about thirty Ital- ians on the pier and they were at once put to work loading the Saratoga. Another tug load is expected later. Sergt. Byrne and six policemen guarded the pier, but no violent demonstration was made by the | strikers. It was reported at 10:30 that the foreman and all the remaining men on the Clyde line | pier had gone out. This makes an esti-| mated total of 9 men on strike | On South street the strikers were stand- | ing about in groups and quietly discussing | the situation this morning.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2%.—The change for the better that was noted in yesterday's market was continued today and the feel- ing that the country will soon emerge from the present crippled condition of ‘busi- ness is daily gaining strength. As the his- tory of Wall street proves, it will not be necessary for actual legislation on the part of Congress before a movement to advance prices is inaugurated, provided that there is’ sufficient evidence of an intention to do what will eventually give the desired re- lef and make such an attempt successful. It is the custom of operators to trade on future prospects and discount probabilities, so that an attempt to do a thing is used to affect prices as much as if It was already gn accomplished fact. Congress in the last few days has given every indication of wil- lingness to repeal the measure that has been held responsible for the existing de- pression in business, and the effect was im- mediately manifested in course of prices. With an increased bank circulation, which will add from 20 to 50 millions to the avail. able currency of the country and no disap- intments from Corgress, the movement should be continued and the waste of the past months gradually repaired. London was dull at about the closing, and had some buying orders on this side, noticeably in St. Paul, of which nearly 10.- 900 shares were taken’ during the morning. Prices on this side opened up 1-4 to 3-4 per cent, and continued strong throughout the day,’ with the exception of short reactions engineered by room traders. Advantage was taken of every decline to cover short sales, indicating a desire to reduce the large short interest still In the market, and take small profits on stocks put out at the high figures of yesterday.

The Senate Galleries Crowded to Listen to Mr. Voorhees. HE WOULD NOT BE INTERRUPTED. The Silver Debate Continues in the House. SPEECHES ON BOTH SIDES. ee THE SENATE. When the Senate met today the largest crowd which has assembled in the galler- tes of the chamber was present, in expec- tation of the speech of Senator Voorhees. Mr. Allen (Neb.) gave notice of an amend- ment which he would offer to the bill re- ported by Mr. Voorhees discontinuing the burchase of silver bullion. It proposes to add to the repealing clause of that bill a provision that hereafter standard silver shall be coined at the several mints of the United States into dollars, halves, quarters and dimes,at the present ratio of 16 to 1, under the same conditions as to mintage and other charges enforced in relation to the coinage of gold; and that the Secretary of the Treasury shall, without unnecessary deiay, cause all the silver bullion owned by the government to be coined into standard silver dollars to be legal tender. Mr, Peffer introduced a joint resolution, which was referred to the finance commit- tee, for the reduction of the salaries of ail government officers and employes above $i,- 09, Notices of speeches on the financial ques- tion were given by Mr. Stewart for tomor- row, and by Mr. Peffer for Thursday. Mr. Voorhees then, at 12:35, took the floor, and ‘addressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill reported by him discontinuing the purchase of silver bullion. The speech ‘and Manhattan, 11-2 | had been prepared by him In advance, and he delivered it from type-written sheets. But it was spoken with all the energy and resonance that Mr. Voorhees has ever dis- Played in a speech before the Senate. From the first sentence he commanded the clore and earnest attention on both sides of the chamber. Wonld Not Be Interrupted. He had not been speaking more than a quarter of an hour when he noticed Mr. Stewart rise as if to put a question; and he prevented that by stating that he dectined in advance to yield to any interruption. “You will have plenty of chance at me,” said, addressing the Nevada Seaator. “I will be a naked object here, and will answer all questions. I hope I will have a litte yeace today for about an hour.” He had resumed the delivery of his speech but had not made much progress before he was again interrupted, this time by an outburst of applause in the guileries, fol- lowing an encomium on President. Cleve- land. This breech of the proprieties of the place was checked by Vice President Ste enson, who threztened to have the galleries cleared if the offense should be repeated. The delivery of the speech occupled an thirty-five minutes. After Mr. Voorhees took his seat he was congratu- | lated by many Senators, ‘The debate was continued by Mr. Duiois in opposition to the bill. a, ‘THE HOUSE. ‘The Speaker laid before the House a com- munication from the Secretary of the Treasury in response to the resolution of the House asking for information reiative | containing $1.40,00) to the purchase and coinage of silve the Sherman act.

Mr. Brickner Advocates Repent. The silver debate was then resumed, and Mr. Brickner (Wis.) addressed the House in favor of the repeal of the purchasing clause. Mr. Mallory (Fia.) was opposed to the un- conditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and he was ulso op- posed to the free coinage of silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1. He regrett-4 that some middle ground kad not been reached, and it was with hesitation that he would vote affirmatively upon any of t tions presented to the House. He attributed to the tariff the greater share of the present depression, but the demonetization of silve would still further separate the wealthy classes from the working classes Mr, Hopkins (Ill) read some portions of the ‘President's message und commended them. The republicans had come here to meet’ their democratic colleagues, not as partisans, but as patriots. Representatives have come here to meet the demands of the people in this emergency, and to show the country that sectionalism’ and partisan- ship would not control either of the great parties. ‘This was the hope that had been indulged in, not only by the republican members but by the people. That they were all fated to disappointment was now well known The Bland resolution, fixing the order of business, had been adopted without consul- tation with a single republican.

DISTRICT IN CONGRES: Mr. Johnson ts Satinfied. Congressman Tom L. Johnson of Ohio, who was a member of the District Commit. tee In the last Congress, but whose name does not appear on the committee list st this session, is apparently well satisfied at the omission. To a Star reporter today he explained his absence from the committee with the statement that he could not ask a place on two important committees, an] as & position on banking-and currency was of more importance to him than a place on the District Committee he asked the = er to appoint him to the former. The New Committee Clerk. Chairman Heard of the House District committee has selected Mr. Harry Cockerill »t Missouri for appointment as clerk of the committee. Mr. Cockerill will assume ‘us duties within ten days weeks, and in the meantime Mr. Ww.

CAPITOL TOPICS. Representative JoWnson's Bond-Cer- rency Bill. By unanimous consent of the House to- day, Representative Johnson of Ohio intro- duced his bond-currency exchange bill, which was referred to the committee on banking and currency, with leave to re- port any time after®he present onder on the silver question has expired. The bill provides: “That any holder of bonds of the United States may. after the passage of this act, deposit such bonds at the treasury of th United States, or at the offices of any as- sistant treasurer of the United States, and receive therefore their face value in treas- ury notes of the United States, as described inthe act of July 14. 189). Such bonds may be held as a special deposit to the credit of the party depositing them, and during the time they are so held shall draw no interest, and shall be returned on the order of the party depositing them on the payment of their face value In United States currency.” The other sections authorize the Secre- tary of the Treasury to make such reg tions as are necessary to carry the forego- ing into effect, and repeal all laws tncon- sistent with the provisions of the first sec- on. A River and Harbor Bill, Chairman Blanchard of the river and harbor committee thinks that the pros- pects are good for a river and harbor ap- propriation bill in the near future, prc vided there are any indications of a prc Jongation of the present session into Oc tober or Nevember. The river and harbor bill Is a measure that every member is in- terested in and a great many inquiries have already been made as to the prospects of early legislation in this direction. The District of Columbia, of course, has interest at stake in this mater. for liberal appropriations will be needed to continue the extensive and necessary Improvements now under way In the Potomac river More Senate Appointment Three appointments were made by Ser- geant-at-arms Bright: Leonard H.
