From the New York Sun. Among these East indians there's a very dignified personage who supplies his daily wants by making wonderful free-hand em- bossings on paper, the thumb nail being his only instrument. His opinions on what he meets in America are fearless and fair and neatly expressed in English that ts scholar- ly. Some of his sharp repartees have al- ready crept into print. The other tay, as he was absorbed in producing 1n elaborate design, there came along a lady, who ques- tioned him in a running fire: “Are you an Indian?” Yes, madam.” ‘Dear me! an East Indian, of course?” Yes, madam.” What are you doing?” “Embossing paper.” “With your thumb nail!” AS you see, madam.” “Is it hard to do? Where did you learn? How long did it take you? Does everybody in India know? Do you draw the design first? 1s there anything on your thumb nail?" ‘The crowd pressed closer, the lady grew more voluble and vacuous. “The man’s dark face took on a weary, then a siaist pression, and he remarked sotto voce: “ah! 1 must fire my bomb. I dislike to fire my bomb, but sometimes it is necessary. Madam, I will emboss your initials on a card for 5 cents. Please give me the let- ters. Five cents is the price. Initials, please, only 5 cents.” ‘There was no answer. The eager lady had slipped back into the stream of human- ity sweeping by. With her the most per- sistent, too, of the curious crowd had melt- ed away. “Ah!” sighed he of the magic thumb nail, “3 cents’ is a terriole incanta- tion. ‘Five cents’, that’s a cull on the pocket; that’s the test whether interest is sincere. Most people who talk very much disappear when I fire my bomb. | Five cents! Terrible words! Ha!” The deft twistings of the paper and thrustings of the thumb had not been interrupted thronzh all the little episode, which was ended by a soft but sardonic laugh, entirely polite and re- strained, yet it oppressed and frritated like a sneer from Carlyle or Diogenes. ee LIGHTS MUST BE USED. Supervising Inspector General Dumont has received a report In the case of the col- lision between the steamer Lucy and the sloop Stephen Pace which entirely re- leases the captain of the steamer of all blame. The report says that the sloop hac no lights at all and that therefore the steamer was in nowise to blame for the accident. This discussion will be of inter- est to those owners of sailing vessels tn this neighborhood who have labored under the idea that lights on sailing vessels were not necessary. ee Sam'l Councflman’s Wil A certified copy of the will of the Inte Samuel Councilman of Montgomery county was filed for record here today.

WALL STREET, August 2. Today’s maket opened from 1-4 to 3-4 per cent lower, but recovered almost immedi- ately and continued strong and dull through- out the morning.

VEST AND HILL IN THE SENATE} Seat 2= Mr. Burrows Makes the Leading Speech in the House. THE DEMOCRATS ARRAIGNED. a THE SENATE. At the close of the routine morning bust- ness, which comprised no matter of public interest except the presentation of commu- nications from the Treasury Department adverse to any special legislation in re- gard to penalties on the whisky tax, Mr. Hill (N. Y.) addressed the chair and was Tecognized. He yielded, however, to Mr. Vest (Mo.), who sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a communication from the director of the mint giving statistics as to the purchase, cost and coinage of silver. He said that considerable attention had ‘been called in the public press and in the Senate to a letter addressed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury to the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) in reference to the bill reported from the minority of the com- mittee on finance changing the ratio be- tween gold and silver from 16 to 1 to 20 to 1, In Order to bring out all the informa- tion on that subject he had addressed a communication to the Treasury Department and had received a reply from the director of the mint. ‘When the reading was ended he said that he assumed, from the zeal manifested by the advocates of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act, that the ereat thing to be Westred in the interest of the American le was a ween the two Inetals, “and ‘that the ‘commercial’ ratio shouldbe, as far as possible, the same 43 the ratio established by statute. The commercial ratio had been, up to within a few days, 28 to 1, while the iegal ratio was 16 to 1, and he took it for granted that, if there was to be an honest attempt to bring the two metals ther, in order to re- deem the pledges of the two great national Parties and of the administration there onld be coinage of gold and silver on a parity. Now it seemed, said Mr. Vest in a con- temptyous tone, that the question of ex- pense was to be injected into the discus- sion, and that leaving the great and abso- lute necessity of parity Senators were to enter into an examination of the number of than the change “of ratio would cost. He had made a short analytical statement of the account between silver and the government at this time. It show: ed the profit to the government under the Bland-Allison act of 1878'as (in round num- bers) seventy milion dollars and the profit under the Sherman act of 1890 as aor Sight million—the total prottt being $128,0%- ‘The uncoined silver in the treasury was 133,000,000 ounces, and the profit on that was $57,000,000. The number of ounces necessary to recoin the silver dollars now coined was 81,000,000, and the number neces- sary, to recoin the subsidiary silver coins, 19,000,000—in all, 100,000,000, If this quantity of silver bullion were taken from the un- coined silver in the treasury on the 16th of ugust there would be still left of uncoined silver in the treasury 33,000,000 ounces. His summing up of the account was: Silver—debtor side, $12,865,321; credit side, $128,133,314; balance in favor of silver, $15,267,993. If the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Vest continued, meant to put the question fairly to the American people why had he not told the Senate what he proposed to do with the vast amount of silver now un- coined in the treasury when the purchas- ing clauses of the Sherman act were re- led? Was that allver to be there, a Menace to bimetallism for all time to coin? Or did the Secretary propose to coin it and hold it in the treasury as dollars? Mr. Hill GY.¥.) then resumed the floor and addressed the Senate. The paragraph in which Mr. Hill de- clared that if the President turned his back of bimetallism, on the established policy of the country, and on the pledges of the democratic party, he (Hill) ould not follow him, and that the President would have to rely ‘upon republican Senstors to carry out his idea, was spokea with much bitterness of tone, democratic Senators looked gloomy and’ unhappy, but a smile of amused satisfaction irradiated the faces of the republicans. ‘The Secretary has assumed that the gov- ernment was to purchase the silver neces- sary to make good the ratio of 20 to 1, and at the same time, logically, to leave un- coined the silver bullion now in the treas- ury, All that he (Mr. Vest) proposed to do now Was to put the facts before Congress and the people in order that they might form a judgment upon them. A se Im the Galleries. At 2 p.m. the speech was interrupted and the Lee Mantf case was laid before the Benate, as the regular order of business. It ‘was, however, laid aside informally on mo- tion of Mr. Harris (Tenn.) and Mr. Hill went on with his speech. When he declar- ed that himself and his colleagues would yote for the punding bill, unawed by power ‘and uncorrupted by federal patronage, there was an outburst of applause in the galler- jes, which the Vice sident suppressed, declaring that if any other manifestations occurred the ttalleries would be cleared. Mr. Hill cloted his speech at 2:15, when there was again some slight appiause—re- strained by the Vice President. Mr. Hill retired Into one of the cloak rooms, where he was surrounded by Senators and others offering congratulations. As soon as order was resto! Stewart (Nev.) took the floor and the Senate. THE HOUSE. ‘The Speaker appointed the following com- mittee to represent the House at the pro- ceedings to be held commemorative cf the one hundredth anniversary of the 'aying of the corner stone of the capitol: Messrs. By- num (ind.), Warner (N. Y.), Black (ii), Houk (Ohio), Henderson (lowa), O'Neill (Pa.), and Cogswell (Mass.). The silver debate having been resumed, Mr. Pendleton (Tex.) expressed his inten- tion to vote for the free coinage of silver at any ratio that had been suggested. but at the same time he held the purchasing clause of the Sherman act responsibie for the present hard times. Mr, Bowers (Caj,) said that the vote to pe taken next Monday would be a vote as to whether silver should be destroyed as ioney and the country placed ae a gold fast ; Pass a free coinage bill and we would find the nations of the world begging ts to Join In an international agreement for the coinage of both gold and silver, Mr. Eapot (Conn.) spoke briefly in favor Mr. Dockery (Mo.) said that the uncon- ditional repeal of the Sherman act meant the unconditional surrender of silver. His be recorded to restore silver to its ancient honor and dignity. (Applause.) ‘Mr. Moon (Mich.) was in favor of bimetal- lism, which he believed would relieve the people from the present stringency. Mr. Cobb (Ala.) argued that the Wilson bill would place the country on a gold basis, and he was therefore opposed to it unless it was amended. Mr. Burrows (Mich.) then claimed the flor. and asked unanimous consent that he mitted to speak for forty minutes. re Bland (Mo.) objected, and Mr. Bur- rows declined to address the House for five minutes. Subsequently Mr. Bland withdrew his ob- jgctlon, and Air. ‘Burrows proceeded with speech. Me. Burrows’ Speech. Mr. Burrows commenced by referring to the President's message calling Congress to- gether in extraordinary session on account of the alarming condition of the country within four months after the democratic party assumed control of affairs. He then read from ex-President Harrison's message to Congress last December to show that the country was then in a prosperous condition. and he asked what had wrought this appail- ing change. auggested that those citl- zens, who nine months were deluded with the {dea of the necessity for a change. had, by this time, the full measure of their desires gratified, unless they had an appe- tite for misfortunes which no calamity could appease and no disaster satisfy. ‘Not until after the presidential election last November did the business interests cf the country take alarm and stringency in the money market begin to appear. ‘The Real Cause. He was constrained to believe that the real cause of this widespread business de- pression was attributable chiefly to the hostility of the democratic party toward our protective poflcy, under which for the last thirty years the nation had wrought its marvelous industrial Independence. This money stringency, which was of recent date, was preceded by business paralysis all over the country. He held that it was the threateninz atti- tude of the democratic party toward our in- dustrial system that had, in @ very large degree, brought about thé present deplora- ble condition, He had no hesttancy in voting for the te- I of the Sherman law.

And yet me gentleman, before the Fifty-third ress should have closed its labors, would be the first to demand that the United States should surrender its indus- trial supremacy and independence and the Prosperity of its laboring people to the un- restricted domination of the English gov- ernment under the merciless policy of free trade. (Applause.) “I regret that in the course of the debate gentlemen have seen fit to employ language the effect of which, whether intended or not, is to arouse and ferment dissensions among the various clauses of our people. The impression is sought to be made upon the public mind that there exists some monstrous con- spiracy somewhere or somehow on the part of capital to oppress and outrage labor. Femember that the gentleman from N braska declared that capital was ‘imperious, arogant, compassioniess; labor, work-worn and dust-begrimed, makes mute appeals.’ Let me say that he who seeks in this coun- try at this time or any other to inflame pub- Ue passions and array one class of our citi- zens against another is an enemy to his | country and to his race. He who seeks to | incite labor against capital not only does | himself, but his country, a grievous wrong. | Such a ‘course may serve the ends of party or some personal ambition, but it will at) the expense of the peace and good order of the state. Capital and labor are the two, pillars upon which the superstructure of our | industrial greatness and civilization are , and when you work to destroy either you involve all in ‘a common ruin.” Mr. Joseph (N. M.) spoke in favor of free coinage. Mr. Compton Has Changed. Mr. Compton (Md.) said that he had been in favor of the free coinage of silver. But his opinions and convictions had changed, and he would now vote for the uncondi- tonal repeal of the purchasing clause of the act of 1890. He repudiated the !dea that the present condition has been brought about by the fear that the democratic party Fould act upon the tariff. ‘The country to- day was under the baneful influence of the legislation of the republican party. ‘The democratic party was pl to give to the country a proper financial basis; it was pledged to pass a tariff bill that would make the tariff burdens fall equally upon all classeg of the people; it was pledged to repeal tne odious election laws. For one he would vote to carry out all those Pledges. (Appfause.) Mr, Money (Miss.) said that he had come to Washington prepared to vote for repeal, but since he had been here he had changed his front, if not his views, and he intended to vote against the repeal of the purchas- ing clause of the Sherman law. Mr. Durborow (Ill.) was in favor of repeal and urged upon his colleagues the necessity of restoring confidence among the people. Mr. Springer (Ill) favored the uncondl- tional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. Mr. Sickles (N. Y.) spoke for uncondl- tional repeal. ‘The rules of the House were ted by Mr. Catchings (Miss.) and without being ead they were ordered printed. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

Late yesterday afternoon Senator Hunton inttoduced a bill to authorize the Falls Church and Potomac Railway Company of Virginia to extend its line of roai into and within the District of Columbia.

The Senate Committee. The Senate District committee was suc cessful this morning tn obtaining a meet- ing, as nine of the members were present, they being Senators Harris, Smith, McMil- lan, Faulkner, Hunton, Proctor, Martin, Gallinger and Hansbrough. The meeting was an informal one and the only thing accomplished was the reference of the va- rious bills before the committee to sub- committees. These subcommittees will consider the bill and probably report on some of them at least at the next meet- ing. ‘Fhe reference of the bills made was ar follows: 8. 293, to authorize the Washington, Alex- andria'and Mt.

A Memorial Bridge Bill. Senator Hunton introduced today the same bill which he presented last session for the construction of a memorial bridge from the naval observatory groun‘ls to the Arlington estate. The bill authorizes and @irects the Secretary of War to construct the bridge upon the most convenient point of the naval observatory grounds to the most convenient point of the Arlington es- tate. ‘The bridge is to be of such dimensions antl capacity and constructed of such ma- terlal as the Secretary of War considers most suitable. If it is not practical to give the bridge sufficient height to permit the passage of vessel the Secretary of War is authorized to have a draw constructed, The sum of $100,00) is appropriated by the bill for the purpose of securing designs and beginning construction. flerks in the Henlth Department.

Morse of this city, closes with the following, among the sum- mary of views and recommendations: Recommendations. After a careful and diligent inquiry into the conditions and needs of the Naval Acad- emy, the board very earnestly urge the fol- lowing changes in the course of instruction of naval cadets: @) The standard of admission to the acad- emy should be lowered in certain respects, and so! “1 desirable, but he k me of the branches which can- | fparable, bu left the exact nature | S| didates are now examined should be taught reof in doubt. during the first year. off ra® hoped that the President, in view Candidates should be admitted about June 1 and after admission should remain at the academy during part of the summer. ‘The cruise of the cadets after the four years’ course at the academy should be dis- continued, and the entire cadet course, six years, { be at the academy and in practice ..»s connected with the acad- emy. The present four years’ course (without material addition to the studies) should be over six years, with longer periods allotted to practice cruises and more pro- fessional instruction. ‘The third and fifth classes should have practical work at the academy from May to July 15; they should then have leave until 5th of October, two months and twen- ty days, and no leaves should be granted to other classes. Four classes, first, second, fourth and sixth, should’ make a four-and-a-half months’ practice cruise (June, July, August and September, and eight days ‘each in May and October). The practice ships should have a com- manding officer, an executive, and two in- structors, and the ships snould be otherwise officered ‘by cadets of the first and second classes, who will perform the duties of navigator (under the supervision of an in- structor) and the duties of watch and divi- sion officers. = Admission and Discharge. On the special subject of admission to and @ischarge from the academy the report says: The board, after full examination and explanation from the superintendent, with recommendations by the superintendent, have arrived at the following conclusions: Appointments for admission to the Naval Academy should be uj appointments to the Military Academy. To the accomplishment of this purpose we rec- | ommend that the Secretary of the Navy urgently presg upon the attention of Con- gress the n ity of enacting legislation irecting that the appointments to the wal Academy be made one year in ad- vance of the time of admission to the Acad- emy. ‘The board further recommend that the commandant of the academy should adopt rules and regulations, subject to the ap- proval of the Secretary of the Navy, under which cadets shall be admitted un’ proba- tion of three months, in order that ~he con- duct and general qualification of each cadet for admission may be determined. ‘The board further recommend that the Secretary of the Navy urge upon Congress the passage of legislation preventing ihe re- appointment of young men who have been issed, if in his — a is necessary to prevent such reappointment. If, in the opinion of the Secretary of the Navy, further legislation is necessary, the board recommend that rules should be/ adopted applying to dismissals and defining explicitly what misconduct or failure in cb- ining academic a es sual disqualify who has been ‘discharged for reap- EE STELLA HORTON’S WILL! How the Fight for the Property is a Triangular One. In the estate of Annie Estelle Northeutt, or Kate Davis, better known s Stella Hor- ton, in which two wills have been tiled, and are pending in the probate court, George Henry Northcutt, claiming to be her son, has, by Mr. D. W. Glassie, filed caveats to each, and asks that issues b2 formed on which to try them before a jury. ‘The es- tate, real and personal, is worth $70,000 or more, about half being real estate on Penn- sylvania avenue near 13th street north- West. She died at 13th and D streets on March 7 last, leaving a will bearing date of February 26, 1892, in which she ieaves her real estate to John McCann, and personal estate to her half Mira Dugan.
