THIRTY YEARS CF PROSPERITY Were Due to the Republican Pro- tective Policy. AGAINST STATE BANKS. Senator Cullom began by saying that the questions which now engross the attention of Congress and the country surpass in importance any which have been the sub- ject of congressional action since the abo- Ution of slavery. Commerce is stagnant, banks and commercial houses are failing, factories and mines are closing and within the last six months perhaps a million of wage workers have been thrown out of employ- ment. Unfortunately there was no agree- ment of opinion among the people as to the cause of the distress or the remedy. No such peculiar condition of affairs was ever known in our history. All classes Were without confidence and were appeal- ing to Congress for speedy relief. He did not believe that the appeals to lay aside sectionalism and politics were needed, if he did he should deplore the decadence of national spirit. If the national bank bill Were enacted it would reult in an increase jef our circulating medium with as good ment the avenues | money as the world affords. It was recom- | mended by the Secretary of the Treasury, ¥et, before a vote could be had upon it, it Was found to be necessary to discuss all | over again the whole national banking sys- | tem in the same old strain, and with the | Same old arguments that had been heard over and over again since it was estab- lished twenty-five years ago. Why not give the country the ‘relief it demanded and afterwards when the people had emerged | from their present distressel condition take up and amend the bank note act? Mr. Cullom held that the Cockrell amend- | Ment was the entering wedge that would | Tesult in the retirement of th entire na- tional bank circulation; the issue of green- is j backs redeemable in gold, in addition to the stock. doubling the force and | the thousand milifons of paper already is- We are not | sued, which th ces. We are not | sued, ich the government is pledged to redeem. Where was the country drifting? | Was it not time to stop and take bearings? | He favored the passage of the vill as it was, but he would not object to the Gor- man amendment. Would Vote for Repeal. He should vote for the repeal bill reported from the finance committee. He did not believe that the Sherman act was in a great | degree responsible for the existing financial condition, but he was for its repeal, because it was but a temporary expedient, and the government could not afford to buy silver and coin it or issue paper upoa it when the doilar represented less than ) cents’ wortir of silver. Such a performance tong con- tinued would embarrass any government. ‘The Sherman act was a compromise me: ure to avert what his democratic friends would now admit would have been a calam- ity—the free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver. The abuse heaped upon it was not justified by the facts. It had at least given the people more money, and the experience of the last few weeks showed that if it tended to drive out gold the operations of trade could be relied upon to bring it back. He was not a monometallist, and few men demanded the ostracism of silver or of gold. But the close commercial relations which existed between nations made an in- ternational agreement desirable, if not ab- solutely necessary. So he favored the free use of silver upon an agreed ratio; gold had no money func- tion which silver did not possess. Both metals were the creation of nature, while money was the creation of law. All that was known of the science of money was the result of experiment and experience, and it was not certain that what today ap- peared to be a well defined principle would long remain 50. The people wanted silver, and so did he. to have all of the circulating medium of equal value without regard to material, We now had a per capita circulation of $4.02, which is about as much as we ever had.’ Therefore, there was no ground for believing that the present situation had been brought about by a scarcity of money. The trouble was the lack of confidence, which caused the hoarding of money. Men were afraid to leave their money in banks or to use it in business, He believed that if the silver purchases were suspended it would not be long before some more satis- factory plan for its use would be devised. So long as the Sherman act remained we would come no nearer free coinage. Repeal would not make gold the standard of value. Unless we were prepared to go to a silver basis we could not alone support bimetal- lism. Repeal would bring about an agree- ment among nations. England had secured an advantage by the adoption of the gold standard, but there was now a strong party in that country favoring bimetallism. This had been encouraged by the Baring failure and the report of the royal commission, and when Encland found that there was no further advantage to be derived from the single gold standard she would join other nations in a bimetallic agreement. Do Justice to All Classen, At this point Mr. Cullom entered upon an argument to demonstrate the unsoundness | of the proposition that a fixed ratio could 18M, the tssue of postal notes will | cease, and tn thetr stead there ts to be 1s- | fractional currency in de-| 75 cents. | not be gutintained between gold and silver, and, continuing, he said that the United States must adopt a policy which would do Justice to all classes and all sections of the country. Universal bankruptcy would be as fatal to the creditor class as to the debtor class. He sympathized with the people of the silver states, but it was neces- sary to have in mind the interests of all of the people and to secure free coinage, if at all, upon an enduring basis. He appreciated the anxiety manifested by citizens of the silver-producing states to interests and further their own prosperity, and said: “The hardships overcome and the won- derful progress made by the patriotic set- tlers of that great region west of the Mis- sourt, if written up, as it will be, will form one df the most thrilling stories in the whole progress of our race. In all their achievements they have been actuated by the thought that ctvilization has the right of way to the future on this continent. All the advantages that follow in the track of civilization now prevail over that vast area, through the persistent faith and dauntless energy of citizens in that great section. As one humble representative of the common- wealth of Iiltnols, the richest, most popu- lous and commercially the most powerful of the central states of the Union, closely {dentified in its commerce with ‘ail the states west of it, as well as with those of the east, north and south, I shall regret if any action we may take on this or any other question shall prove in any degree | injurious to those brave and patriotic peo- Prosperity Under a Protective Tariff.

Interest in the Hawaiian question has been revived by the sudden return to Wash- ington of Minister Blount. He came from his Georgia home in response to a telegram from Secretary Gresham, and arrived here late Saturday night. He is stopping at the National Hotel, and the length of his visit will depend altogether. upon the wishes of the President. He was at the State Depart- ment this morning, and had a short con- ference with Secretary Gresham on the sub- Ject of his mission to Honolulu, and then walked over to the White House to pay his respects to the President and ascertain his wishes concerning his future movements. The President happened to be specially busy with other visitors at the time, and Mr. Blount left word with Private Secre- tary Thurber that his time was entirely at the disposal of the President, and that he would call again at his conventence. Why He Was Summoned. The fact that Mr. Blount was summoned to Washington so soon after the President's return to the city ts taken to mean that the President desires to act on this question as speedily as possible and during the extra session of Congress if it can be done. It |1s believed that Minister Blount’s reports and other official correspondence bearing on the relations between the United States and Hawaii will shortly be communicated to the Senate pending the conclusion of negotiations for a treaty with the pro- visional government of Hawail, either on the lines of annexation as agreed to by the last administration or on the lines of an American protectorate. The latter policy is said to be more in favor with the present administration. ‘Will Act Promptly. There is lots of speculation about the Hawaltan question. The only things known to be settled are that the President proposes to act as promptly, that Mr. Blount will not return to Hawaii and that his succes- sor will be nominated in a short time. ‘The belief 1s growing that Mr. Proctor Knott of Kentucky will get the Hawatian mis- sion or another diplomatic office “just as good.” ———_+e+____ AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The President Only Saw a Few Per- sons Today. Many Congressmen called at the White House today, but none of them were abie to see the President. He asked to be ex- cused to all callers except those with whom he had engagements. These were the new | German ambassador and Baron Kettler of the German embassy, who were uccom- panied by Secretary Gresham and Assistant Secretary Adee; a committee from the pan- American medical congress and a commit- tee from the general committee in charge of the Capitol celebration. It was explained that the President was | busy on official matters that had accum lated during his vacation at Buzzard’s Bay. ‘The usual tri-weekly reception to the pub- lic was again omitted this afternoon, much to the disappointment of a crowd of strang- ers, who had congregated in the east room awaiting an opportunity to pay thelr re- | spects. It 1s believed these receptions will be resumed when the President gets a little more leisure, but no arrangements to that end have yet been made. + e+ —_____ ASSISTANT SECRETARY GRANT. No Immediate Prospect of His Succes- sor Being Named. It is learned at the War Department that there 1s no immediate prospect of a change in the office of assistant secretary of war. Gen. Grant, the incumbent, tendered his resignation on March 4. Fle never expect- ed to remain throughout the present admin- istration and does not now. He has a thor- ough knowledge of the business of the department and has been of great ass! ance to Secretary Lamont, who so far has shown no disposition to take up the routine duties of his office. It is understood that Secretary Lamont accepted the army port- | folio with the idea that It would enable him to devote most of his time to politics. In order to do this, however, he will require the assistance of a person thoroughly vers- ed in the business of the department, and so far he has not been able to find any- body with the desired qualifications of the proper political faith. No one who has ap- plied for appointment as assistant secre- tary is regarded as up to the standard. ° THE SANTA MARIA, ‘The Caravel a0 Be Transferred to the United States. Capitan Victor Ma Concas y Palau, com- manding the Spanish caravels at the world’s fair, and Senor Jose Felipe Sagra- rio, first secretary of the Spanish legation, were at the Navy Department today, in connection with turning over the caravel Santa Marla to the United States govern- ment. Capitan Concas has’ received directions from the Spanish govern- ment to | make the transfers at once, and send the Spanish — sail- ors on board the three caravels back to Spain. The Spanish government, it is un- derstood, does not wish to bear longer the expense of caring for the caravel and the sailors. Senor Segrario and Capitan Concas had a talk on ‘the subject with Capt. Cook, acting chief of the bureau of naviga- tion, but no decision was reached. The caravels Nina and Pinta were built by the United States, and the Santa Maria was built by Spain with the understanding that it should be presented to this government. —————_+- e+ _____ Sherman Said to Favor Cloture.

Surgeon General Wyman Tells of His Visit to Jersey City. A STRICT QUARANTINE ORDERED. Surgeon Carter Talks About Yellow Fever at Brunswick. NO NEW CASES AT PRESENT. Cholera and yellow fever were two inter- esting subjects of conversation at the ma- Hine hospital bureau today, and they were discussed by Surgeon General Wyman, who has just returned from Jersey City, where the former has existed, and by Surgeon Carter, who came up this morning from the yellow fever camp at Brunswick, Ga. It will be remembered that Dr. Wyman went to Jersey City last week immediately upon recelving notification that the sus- pected cases were proven to be genuine Asiatic cholera. ‘The result of this visit he told to a Star reporter as follows: “The Jersey City board of health is in charge of men who are efficient and earn- est, but who are not professional men, and there 1s no orgahized corps of regular san- {tary officers connected with the city go ermment, except the physicians to the poor, whose services are only occasionally called for. What was needed was medical assist- ance, and this was furnished by the marine hospital service by detailing Surgeon P. H. Bailhache of the Staten Island marine hos- Pital to be in charge of all measures so far 4s the marine hospital 1s concerned. To ald him two regular officers of the service were detatled. “Besides these officers the service has in each coast city a list of regular physicians well qualified for work of this kind, and with whom arrangements have been made for their immediate employment by. the bureau in case of necessity. Four of these were surmmoned by telegraph, and the work of strict quarantine, which had already been begun by the city board of health, through the agency of the sanitary police: men, a good corps, by the way, Was as- signed to these medical inspectors. A house to house inspection was also inaugurated in the suspected locality. “In the meantime, the state board of health, which has supervising power over the local board, took action through the agency of Dr. Clark Hunt, an inspector of the state board. They summoned three physicians to their assistance, and com- menced thelr duties, Surgeon Ballhache and Dr. Hunt have their headquarters in the office of the health commissioner of the city, and all are working in the utmost harmony. A room has been provided at one of the railroad depots, where any su pected case from the adjacent wharv or depots will be immediately taken, and one of the officers of the state board of health has charge of this room. In the meantime the health board of Jersey City ts following up carefully every person who was brought in contact with the suspected cases. “The position of the marine service in this matter is first to co-operate and render every possible assistance to the local authorities and next to require its regular officers there to see that the heces- ary rules and regulations are being en- forced. ‘There have been no new cases and 8 far as is known there is not now a case of cholera in Jersey City. There was one @eath from Asiatic cholera and two deaths which were suspected to have been from being investt- gated. Dr. Bond of the New York city board of health is rendering good service in Jersey City by supervising the work of dis- infection, an important task, and his serv- Ices are the more valuable from the fact that he has had long experience with mod- ern methods of thorough disinfection.” Yellow Fever at Brunswick. While Dr. Wyman was speaking there sat on the opposite side of his desk a quiet, unassuming looking man, below middle age, whose bronzed complexion bespoke expo- sure to southern suns. He was introduced to The Star reporter as Surgeon Carter of the yellow fever squad, Surgeon Carter has fairly wallowed in yellow fever germs with- In the past few weeks, but he does not seem to mind It. He left Brunswick, Ga., Sat- urday night, where he has been stationed during the prevalence of fever, having gone there from Pensacola. Surgeon Carter had charge of the cordon around. the shouse where Surgeon Branham and Peter Harris died, and supervised the disinfection of premises and the removal of patients. He was with Branham and Harris when they ated. Surgeon Carter sald there ts no truth whatever in the sensational reports of peo- ple suspected of having yellow fever belag placed against their will in a house where the fever already existed. He said that Harris undoubtedly had the fever when he was taken to the Branham house; that the patient was removed at his own request from a house where he could receive no attention whatever, not even getting his meals, He did not ‘make the slightest ob- Jection to going to the Branham house and Carter himself supervised the removal. It has been stated that the man’ Cox, whose little daughter was susp=cted of hav ing the fever, fled with the child to the woods to prevent its being taken to the Branham house.

Its Repeal Will Probably be Suggested to Congress, Alse Authority to Coin the Silver Bul- lion Now in the Treasury—The Opposition to Repeal. The probabilities are that there will be communication to Congress in some form, sent elther formally or informally, present- ing a financial proposition, having the ap- proval of the administration, which will very materially weaken the opposition to the repeal of the Sherman Jaw. While the statement that there has been any informal conference between the President, Secre- tary Carlisle and other gentlemen on the subject Is incorrect, there is no question about the matter having been talked over recently between Congressmen and. repre- sentatives of the administration, and it ts likely that something will come of it. Sec- retary Carlisle and a number of the leaders in both houses of Congress are desirous of the passage of a bill repealing the state bank tax and the President is understood to be favorably inclined to the measure. To Coin the Silver Bullion. Mr. Carlisle has also for some time been thinking over the auestion of the cvinag) of the silver bullion now in the treasury, and is very anxious that an authorization for this coinage should be given by Con- gress. The two propositions will probably be combined and recommended to Congress for action, .or, at all events, the leaders in Congress will be given to understand that the administration will approve of a meas- ure repealing the tax on state banks and providing for the coinage of bullion. Whether this will come in the form of a message from the Prestdent to Congress or a letter from Mr. Carlisle to some individual member or Senator cannot now be learned. It is understood that Mr. Carlisle would like authority for the coinage of all the bullion held in the treasury, but thinks the coinage of the seigniorage alone would be a considerable relief. Un- der the policy of the administration, which is to redeem the coin certificates in gold, the bullion in the treasury practically stands for nothing. The Treasury Necds Money. ‘The treasury ts greatly in need of money and, if this bullion can be converted into cash assets, and be made available for ex- penditures which are authorized by appro- priation bills, it will be a relief to the treas- ury ani also make money much more plen- tiful in the country. There are a great many public works authorized by Congress to be advanced in the discretion of the de- partment. ‘With sufficient money on hand to pay for it the work could be pressed actively at once instead of letting it drag out slowly over a long term of years, and this, besides hastening the public improvement, would put the money out in the best way possi- ble at the time most needed. If the au- thority is given by Congress certificates against the fifty odd millions of selgniorage could be issued at once and stop the drain After that the other bullion could be coined as rapidly as deemed necessary or as the mints could do the work. To \¢ Up Opposition to Repeal. It ts believed that thts proposition, which 1s in the nature of an accommodation from the administration to those who are anx- fous for an increase in the volume of money, is expected to greatly ease up the opposition to the repeal of the Sherman law, and it ts believed that it will hasten action by the -Senate on the Voorhees bil ‘The Senators from the silver states may not be affected by it much, but nearly all of the other silver men will probably be Satisfied with it. ee PAYING THE PENSIONERS. Over $200,000 Will Be Put in Circula- tion in the Next Three Days. United States Treasurer Morgan added materially to the circulation of the District today by paying the quarterly pensions for this section, The payments aggregate $230,- 000, and will be made as rapidly as possible. It usually takes three days to complete the payment, as it averages about $70,000 a day. That is the amount put into circula- tion through the pensioners today. They gathered at the treasury cash room in force early this morning and kept the tell- ers busy for several hours cashing thelr checks, The payments were almost en- tirely in paper money. It is said that all gold payments will not be resumed unless it becomes necessary by the exhaustion of the supply of paper money. (ein ALEXANDRIA. Board of Trade Meeting. A meeting of the board of trade and other citizens of Alexandria was held Friday night. Messrs. F. A. Reed, M. B. Harlow and J. W. May were appointed delegates | to represent Alexandria in the convention of the boards of trade at Washington on the 12th instant.

SecretaryMorton has abolished the con- gressional division of the Agricultural De- partment. This division has for many years performed the work of preparing franks for many Senators and members of Congress in connection with the distribu- tion of seeds, cuttings, plants, etc. This was instituted at a time when no allowance was made to Senators and members for clerk hire. In view of the fact that each Senator and member 1s now provided with a clerk to ald him in the performance of such duties as may be required in the service of his constituents, it 1s said that the necessity for the above-named division has ceased to exist, and in pursuance of the policy of re- trenchment and reform will be abolished. Senators and members who desire to have seed distributed direct to their con- stituents or others may have the same done by forwarding to the department the necessary franks, with the addresses writ- ten thereon, or the seed will be delivered in unaddressed packages, as heretofore, at any place designated by them. +o Urged for Appointment.

A Moving Stench, There is very considerable complaint here that the work of the night scavenger ts not conducted in the same wholesome man- ner in which that kind of work Is done in Washington. Many people in Alexandria dream at night that they are on the steamer between Alexandria and Washing- ton and have arrived opposite the stench tory. The law requires that the work should be done upon the odorless plan, but it is sald that the profits of the business, after the bonus has been paid to the city, are not sufficient to allow the work to. be done according to law, after the modern and odorless fashion.

Qld War Times Recalled at In- dianapolis, WASHINGTON REPRESENTATIVES ARRIVE Col. C. P. Lincoln For Commander- in-Chief. TOMORROW’S BIG PARADE. Special Dispatch to the Evening Star, INDIANAPOLIS, Bept. 4—Indianapolis feels as though war days were hers once more. Last night the city was ablaze with Ught, as tt was the night after Lincoln is- sued his call for the first army of brave men. The soldiers’ monument, which stands in the circle in the center of the city from which the avenues radiate as in Wash- ington, occupies the ground upon which Oliver P. Morton, the great war governor, stood on the night of the 15th of April, 1861, and under the blazing torchlights and in the glow of the bonfires delivered hfs stir- ring address to the nearly 5,000 men who had responded within the few hours to his proclamation. It was here, too, that Gen. Lew Wallace knelt with his brave eleventh regiment nd with uncovered heads and uplifted hands swore to remember Buena Vista. Last night this monument sacred to the memory of the dead soldiers of the war of the rebellion, “Indiana's silent victors,” was aglow with electric globes from base to the crowning figure on its pinnacle, and the cir- cle was packed with veterans and loyal women and children. It was a magnificent ary other city. The Mexican dates that were placed upon the monument are to come off. This fact, + en made known, set the veteran wild with delight. Just twenty-nine years ago yesterday, as pretty and calm a day as yesterday was, the news came to Indianapolis that Sher- man had entered Atlanta. night hun- dreds of Sherman's “Bummers” gathered around a camp fire to talk it over and tears glistened on many a wrinkled and bronzed cheek as they talked about old times and the general and his “Boys,” now mus- tered into the silent army above. Arrival of the Washingtonians. The Washington comtingent, the Depart- ment of the Potomac, arrived this morning, dirt-begrimed and tired, but happy. No accidents marred the calm of the trip, All the specials which bore them here were crowded with congenial spirits. It is early yet to make predictions, but the talk is that past department com- mander of the Potomac, Charles P. Lincoln, stands a good show ‘for commander in chief. He has a host of friends from every section of the country. Pensions will come in for a large share of the attention of the national encamp- ment. Commander in Chief Weissert said th morning, “I intend to let the boys talk all they want to on the matter, and that means a lively discussion, for about half the delegates are primed to the muzzle. The Great Parade. Tomorrow will be the great day, and It ts equal in length that in Washington. Posts and departments are arriving every hour. Tonight the reception to the G. A.
