Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Sept. 1—Today’s market opened slightly In advance of yesterday's low closing and continued strong through- out the morning. The most encouraging feature of the day's trading was the ab- sence of any pressure to sell and operators were encouraged to bid up prices in conse- quence. ‘The industrials profited most by prevail- ing conditions and were all higher and ac- tive. The regular list was dull and traders were not Inclined to carry today’s pur- ghases over until Tuesday as a result of Monday's holiday. Some time money in amounts aggregating about three and a half millions has at last put in appearance at the legal rate and 1-2 per cent added for six months. The rate 1s regarded as comparatively reasonable and the fact that such a sum of currency is available is encouraging and will proba- bly influence other offerings at lower rates, The professional element still controls the course of prices and the market is made to conform to the tenor of the latest rumor. Local conditions continue to improve, but until the belief in better times becomes more general no decided or sustained ad- Vance in prices can be hoped for. In the Meantime indications point to 2. gradual Improvement, which may be retarded oc- gasionally, but which will eventually re- Store prices to their normal condition.

It is to Be the Regular Senate Un- finished Business. LISTENING 70 SENATOR VANCES SPEECH Cloture Amendments Offered in the House, _~ ALL ARE DEFEATED. THE SENATE. In the Senate calendar of today the House bill repealing part of the act of July 14, 1890, stands under the head of “unfinished business,” and the bill for the issue of cir- culating notes to the national banks stands at the head of the bills under the head of “general orders." The mean- ing of that is that at 3 o'clock p.m, each day (if not previously taken up on motion) the Vice President will lay the repeal bill before the Senate; and if prior to 2 o'clock, the calendar be taken up, the bank bill will be first in order, and will re- main before the Senate till 2 p.m. Many petitions for the repeal of the Sher- man act were presented by Senators, one of whom was Mr. Cameron (Pa.)| and another Mr. Harris (Tenn.). Silver Purchased and Its Cow Mr. Teller (Col.) offered a resolution di- recting the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the Senate with a statement giving the agsregate amount of silver bullion pur- chased under the act of 18, during the month of August, 18%, with the cost there- of, the amount, date and price of each pur- chase, with the amount of silver bullion offered for sale in August, and the amount and price of each offer. Mr, Voorhees (ind.) said that he knew of no objection to the resolution, but his col- league, Mr. Turpie, ssid that he would lke to have an additional inquiry inserted in the resolution—that was, the question “how paid for?” The statute provides, eatd Mr, ‘Teller, how silver bullion shall be paid for— in treasury notes. Nevertheless, said Mr. ‘Turple, I would like to have It put In the resolution. There was no objection on the part of Mr. Teller, and so the resolution was amended to meet Mr. Turpie’s wish, and was then agreed to. ‘The Repee! Bill Up. Mr. Voorhees remarked that the House bill to repeal part of the uct of July 14, 1990 (the sfiver repeal bil), had been yes- terday made the “uniln?shed business,” and that {t would in the regular course be plac- ed before the Senate at 2 o'clock. But, as the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Vance) wished to address the Senate now, he (Mr. Voorhees) would move to take up the repeal bill in order to accommodate that Senator. He did not understand that such action would interfere with the bill's being the regclar order of business at and after 2 o'clock. He asked the Vice Presi- dent whether he was correct in that urder- standing, and the Vice President sald that e was, ‘Thereupon the House bill to repeal part of the Sherman act wis taken up, and Mr. Vance (N. C.), one of the minority members of the finance committee, ad- @reased the Senate in opposition to the pill. Hils remarks will be found elsewhere in this issue of The Star. How Mr. Vance's Speech Was Re- ceived. Mr. Vance delivered the speech from printed slips, brought close to his vision ty a half dozen large volumes piled upon his His manner was, as usual, very hu- and the witticisms which glittered all over the production were provocative of frequent peals of laughter on the floor and Not one-half of the re- publican Senators were in their seats, and these, for the most part, seemed to give more attention to their correspondence than to the speech. On the democratic side of the chamber, however, almost every chair | was occupied, half a dozen of them by re- | publicans, and all seemed to enjoy the en- tertainment to the utmost. For the first in his place, and when he did come into the chamber he sat cn the republican side. Statement as to Gold and Silver. At one point in the speech Mr, Vance allowed Mr. Cockrell to put in a statement (furnished by the director of the mint) showing the aggregate production and coia- age of gold and silver in all the nations of the world from 1873 to 1893, the recapitula- tion being as follow: Gold—production, — $2,210,000,000; coinage, $2,787,000,000. Silver—production, $2,490,000,000; $2,822, 000,000, And Mr. Cockrell laié stress upon the fact that the coinage of gold exceeded its pro- duction by $577,000.00, while the coinage of silver was $78,000,000 less than production. ‘Mr. Vence resumed his seat at 2 p.m., hav- ing occupied an hour and forty minutes. He was soon surrounded by Senators offer- Ing their congratulations. Immediately the Vice President announced that House bill No. 1, to repeal part of the act of July 14, 189, was before the Senate, in committee of the whole, an] tha: the question was on the ame: nt offered by the Anance committee by way of a substi- tute, coinage, Asking for a Vote. Mr. Voorhees—If nofurther deba‘e ts pro- posed at this time I ask for a vote on the substitute. “Oh, no," came from Mr. Vel- ler. Additional notices have boen given of speeches intended to be made next week. There is not a Senator in this body who dos not know that I desire every Senator who, In good faith, wishes to occupy the time of the Senate to have a <ull opnor- tunity of doing so. But I canact take the responsibility (nor will I attempt to do so) of beng a party to delay—mere delay. And When a vacancy in talk hes heen reached I shall want that vacancy filled by a vote. I desire every Senator to be heard, but situ: ated as T am and with my appreciations of the demands of the country I cannot be a party to the delay of a single hour of waste time in this body. If Senators are not ready to go on with the discussion I trust that we are ready to go on with the vote. Mr. Peffer (Kan.): I don ut desire to post- Pone action on this measure, sofar as T am personally concerned, a minute longer than until I have done all that T can do honorably and inside of parliamentary rules to defeat htis measure, or, If that cannot be done, so as to amend it as that {t shall provide for a substitute in the way of free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio which the peopie of the country understand that we have promised them. T have two tmendments which I propose to offer. A discussion started at this point as to what parliamentary form should be ob- served in regard to the bill-—whether amend- ments should be offered to it, or whether It would not be more simple and conventent to agree to the substitute pro forma, and let all arnendments be applied to it, This latter course was suggested by Mr, Aillson (lowa), and was assented to and favored by Mr. Voorhees. But it was stated by Mr. Har- ris (Tenn,) that this would require unani- mous consent; and when the Vive President asked whether there was any objection it came promptly from Mr. Cockrell. (Mo.), who stated that he should object to the sub- stitute until the matter was fully discussed. THE HOUSE. After the reading of the Journal, Mr. Weadock (ifich.) offered a resolution post- poning from tomorrow until September 15, the delivery of eulogies upon the late J. Logan Chipman of Michigan. Mr. Reed (Me.) said that the resolution presupposed that the House would be in session at that date. He had hoped that “the country would have been relieved of us before that time.” The resolution was adopted. The consideration of the rules was then resumed. ‘The vote was taken on the Boat- ner cloture amendment, which provides that when the chairman of ‘a committee, or any member of the House having a’ bill in charge, which is under consideration, moves the previous question on a pending amend- ment, or engrossment and third reading, or final ‘passage of the bill, the Speaker shall submit the question to the House without entertaining any motion against the same. If the motion is agreed to, the question shall then be put on the proposition to which the motion for the previous question applied, and no motion shall be enter- tained against the same except one motion to recoramit, with or without Instructions, which motion shall be decided without de- bate. The Amendment Rejected. The amendment was rejected. Yeas, 9; nays, 121. Ar. Grosvenor (Ohio) offered an amend- hour of the speech Mr. Voorhees was not ment providing that nothing in rule 11 shall be construed to permit the committee on banking and currency to report at any time a bill to repeal the tax upon the cir- culation of state bank Mr. Grosvenor, in speaking briefly in fevor of his amendment, said that the House had by mere advertence yesterday given the committee a right to report at any time. The vote yesterday might be construed and would be construed by the people as an expression of the opinion of the House on this question. Again yester- day the House had adopted, through inad- verterce, an amendment which would pre- vent the anti-option bill from going to the committee on agriculture. He cared little about this, but he called attention to the fact, because the people would believe that when the House did something it meant something and that it was not stumbling along. Mr. Cannon (IIl.) opposed the amendment. He did not think that the amendment adopted yesterday kad been ndopted through inadvertence. For one, he knew for what he was voting when he cast vote. Mr. Johnson (Ind.) denied that there was anything in the amen Ime terday from which the cou upon state banks, ment. Mr. Springer’s Cloture Amendment. Mr. Springer (1il.) offered an amendment providing that the commitiees (except the committee on appropriations) clothed with the authority to report at any time can accompany their reports with a resolution making the measure reported a special order and fixing the time when the vote shall be taken upon the final passage of the bill. Such resolution may be called up for consideration the same as reports from the committee on rules. Mr. McMillin (Tenn.) opposed the amend- ment, and spoke against cioture. He had hever known filibustering to interfere with g00d legislation. Mr. Boatner (La.) spoke in support of the proposition.

Telephone Cables, Water Mains and Gan Pipes Corroded by Freed Currents From the Baltimore American, ‘The corrosion of the underground cables of telephone companies throughout the country by the escape or freviag of the electric currents from the trolley systems into the ground adjacent to the under- ground cables has attracted the attention of electrical engineers, and has given rise to many scientific discuss'ons as to the best means of abating or obviating the trouble.
