After three months’ consideration the President has approved the report of the examining board in the case of Commander H. L. Johnson and he will now be promoted to the grade of captain. Commander John- son stood at the head of his grade and fail- ure to act on his case caused an entire sus- Pension of promotions in the line, notwith- Standing there were three vacancies in the next higher grade. The President withheld his approval of the board’s report in this case for some time because of proof that Johnson had been granted sick leave several years ago in consequence of intemperance. He finally consented to the officer's promo- tion in consequence of his war record and on the production of proof that he had never been intoxicated while on duty and had never brought scandal on himself or the service. Now that this troublesome case has been disposed of it is expected that the long list of naval promotions, which depended upon it will be sent to the Senate this week. ‘The removal of the block advances Com- manders Bob Evans, George W. Coffin and Edwin M. Shepard to the grade of captain. Commander Henry M. Glass received his Promotion on the retirement of Admiral Weaver. Salaries More Than Receipt: A statement prepared at the Treasury Department, in regard to receipts and ex- penditures, shows a curious state of affairs at several customs forts. At the points named the total recetpts from customs for the fiscal year we Kennebunk, Me., 15 cents; Frenchman’ Bay, Me., $04.80; Castine, Me., $145.56; Bridge- port, N. J., $87.65; Nantucket, Mass., $60; Alexandria, Va., 73.45; Pimlico, N. C. Albemarle, N.C... $71.26; St." Mary's, Ga., $17.43; St. Mark’s Fia., $1.20; Michigan, Mich., 3.09. At each of these points a collector of cus- toms 1s appointed and frequently he has several assistants to help him collect the revenue. At Alexandria, Va., for instance, where the revenue was only $73.45, the col- lector received a salary of $214.82 for the year exclusive of fees and his deputy, $1,200. At Ca8tine, Me., the collector recelved a salary of $150, besides fees and commissions, and had a special deputy at $2.50 a day and four regular deputies at salaries ranging from $ to $1.50 a day. These are fair samples of the force employed at other points. ———_+ e+______ GOING TO MARRY AH FONG. Commander Whiting Obtains Leave of Absence for This Purpose. Commander W. H. Whiting has been re- Ueved of command of the U. 8. 3. Alliance, now at Corinto, Nicaragua, and has been grgnted one month's leave of absence with permission to apply for an extension. It 1s generally understood at the Navy Depart- ment that he desires this leave in order to fulfill an engagement to marry Miss Ah_ Fong, the accomplished daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant at Honolulu, and that he will proceed at once to San Francisco, where she awaits him. Commander T. A. Lyon will succeed Commander Whiting in command of the Alliance. He 1s now in| New York and will proceed to Corinto at once by the shortest route. In view of the peaceful state of affairs in Nicaragua, the Alliance will be relieved from further serv- ice in that neighborhood on the arrival of her new commander, and will start on a voyage arourg the Horn for New York, There she isto be utilised ase training | ahip. SILVER REPEAL. The Bill in the Senate Loaded Up With Amendments, SKILLED PARLIAMENTARY PILOTING Will Be Required When a Vote is to Be Taken. A NUMBER OF PROFOSITIONS ‘When the time comes to take a vote on the repeal bill and its amendments skilled parliamentary piloting will be required to determine the order of precedence in which the various motions will have to be put. So many amendments have been offered to the repeal bill—or rather so many no- tices of proposed amendments have been given in the Senate—that a general state- ment as to them may lead to a better un- derstanding of the whole question. ‘The bill as it passed the House of Repre- sentatives on the 28th of August repeals So much of the act of July 14, 189 (the Sher- man act),as directs the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion per month; it pro- vides that such repeal shall not impair or in any manner affect the legal tender qual- ity of the standard silver dollars heretofore coined; and it pledges the faith and credit of the United States to maintain the parity of the standard gold and silver coins of the United States at their present legal ratio or tablished by law. This House bill (sometimes referred to as the Wilson bill) was communicated to the Senate the same day and was imme- diately referred to the committee on finance. It was reported back to the Sen- ate the next day (2ith) with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. This (which 4s sometimes referred to as the Voorhees strikes out the whole of the House bill and substitutes for it the first part of the House bill (the repeal provision). It then adds a declaration that “it is the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchange- able value—such equality to be secured through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will in- sure the maintenance of the parity in value of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar, at all times, in the markets and in the payment of debts.” It then fur- ther declares that “the efforts of the gov- ernment should be steadily directed to the establishment ‘of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the payment of debts. Proposed Amendments, From the day that the, substitute was re- Ported back from the ‘finance committee until Saturday notices of intended amend- ments have veen given, which, taken up in the order of time, are as follows: @) By Mr. Hansbrough (N. D.). For the issue of silver certiticates to replace all classes of gold coin or paper currency, in- cluding national bank notes of less denomi- nations than and for the bi-monthly purchase of silver bullion and the coining thereof into standard dollars at the exist. ing ratio, as a basis for the circulation and redemption, at par, of the certiticates. The certificates are to be a legal tender for all sums of $100 or less. The issue of gold coins and paper currency of less denomina- tions than $20 (except those silver certif- leates) 1s to cease. @) By Mr. Peffer (Kan.). For free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the existing ratio. 3) By Mr. Call (Fla.). Requiring all the silver bullion in the treasury to be coined into dollars, half dollars and quarter dol- lars at the ratio of 16 to 1 and that legal tender silver certificates shall be issued and paid out for all public dues and shall be deposited in the national depositories and subtreasuries, Also providing for a convention of North and South American states to consider and decide upon a common standard or ratio upon which gold and silver shall be main- tained and admitted to free coinage. «@) By Mr. Butler (S. C.). Repealing the ten per cent tax upon the notes of state banks. ©) By Mr. Faulkner (W. Va.). For the monthly coinage of three million standard dollars out of the silver bullion in the treas- ury. Also for the monthly purchase of suf- ficient silver bullion to coin two million sil- ver doliars, and for the coinage thereof into quarters, ‘half dollars and dollars. ‘The whole aggregate of silver coinage is not to exceed $800,000,000, All national bank notes of denominations less than $10 that are re- ceived at the treasury or any subtreasury are to be destroyed and new notes issued for them, of which $10 shall be the lowest denomination. 6 By Mr. Stewart (Nev.)—For a Congress of the Central and South American repub- lies, Mexico, Haiti and San Domingo, for the adoption of a common silver coin to be issued by each government, and to be a legal tender in all commercial transactions between the citizens of all the states par- ticipating in the conference. For Free Coinage. 7. By Mr. Kyle (S. D.)—For free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, the govern- ment to receive the selgniorage or differ- ence between the bullion and coin value of the metal; and for the issue of silver cer- tiflcates on such dollars. 8 By Mr. Call (Fla.), his second amend- ment, opening the mints of the United States for the coinage of all gold and silver bullion that may be brought to them, into coins of the standard weight and fineness. 9. By Mr. Squire (Wash.). Authorizing any owners of silver bullion to deposit it at any mint of the United States, to be coined into standard silver dollars of the present weight and fineness, for his benefit, but he is only to receive dollars equaling the commercial value of the bullion on the day of deposit. Such coinage is not to ex- ceed $4,000,000 per month, until the amount coined reaches $20,000,000, when all further coinage of silver dollars shall cease. ‘These silver dollars are to be a legal tender at their nominal or coin value in all pay- ments. No certificates are to be issued to represent’ them. And the purchasing clauses of the Sherman act are to be re- pealed. A Monetary Commission. 10. By Mr. Gallinger (N.H.). For the ap- pointment of a monetary commission to take evidence in all parts of the country on matters relating to finance and the currency, and to report on the best policy to be adopted to maintain the double stand- ard. @). By Mr. Allen (Neb.)—To permit any owner of silver bullion to deposit it at any mint and coined into standard dollars for his benefit—less 20 per cent, which is to be retained by the government as seigniorage. a2). By Mr. Jones (Ark)—For a commis- sion to examine into the financial and mon- etary condition of the government and the people of the United States, with a view to devising means for the betterment thereof. Also directing the Secretary of the Treasury to set apart and retain in the treasury so much of the silver bullion as may be neces- sary to redeem the outstanding treasury notes issued under the Sherman act, and to coin the remainder of such bullion at not less than $4,000,000 a month. And until all such bullion is coined, purchase under the Sherman act is to be suspended. 3). By Mr. Wolcott (Col.)—Directini repayment to the states interested of the the | cotton tax collected during the war. (4). By Mr. Perkins (Cal.)—For the open- ing of the mints to the coinage of silver of proved American production at the existing ratio, 20 per cent to be withheld for minting or seigniorage. Also providing that no gold pleces shall be issued of a less denomination than $10 and no bank notes or treasury notes of a less denomination than $5. Also providing for a commission of five monetary experts, THE SENATE SITUATION. Bumors That a Quorum Will Disappear on Wednesda: And the Crisis to Come on Saturday— Conferences for Compromise Are Still in Progress, The week does not open in the Senate with any special encouragement for uncon- ditional repeal. The same difficulty about mobilizing the repeal forces which has been evident all along still exists and those men who have never been very earnest for repeal are very quick to show discouragement in the present adverse conditions. The men who are working for compromise are re- doubling their efforts, but meet with a good many obstacles, not the least of which are presented by men in non-commiftal atti- tudes who at heart would like to see the whole thing fail. Information comes from several sources this morning that a quorum. in the Senate will probably be broken on Wednesday and that from then until the end of the week there will be no quorum present. What there ts behind this one can do no more than guess, : The Crisis to Come on Saturday. Coupled with this prediction of a disap- Pearance of a quorum fs the statement that the critical moment will arrive on Saturday, when an agreement will be reached or it will be demonstrated that nothing at all can be done. There is no question about it that & good many republicans feel that they have done all that is required of them to aid in carrying out the policy of the administra- tion and that a number of them are dis- posed now to follow such a course as will, in their opinion, give them some party ad: vantage. The contention of the republicans during the Presidential campaign was that, no matter how sound a financier Mr. Cleveland might be, he could accomplish nothing through the democratic party. Many of them feel that this has been sufficiently demonstrated in the present sit- uation, and aiso that they have done as much as can be required of them in a non- partisan way to sustain the administration, and they will not be greatly disappointed if in spite of the assistance the republicans have given to repeal it should finally fail. Conferences in Progress. It 1s impossible to say how much progress has been made in the efforts to secure a compromise. Conferences on this subject are still in progress, and a speedy settle- ment is anticipated. But it is very signifi- cantly stated that if some of the obstacles to a compromise prove unsurmountable the chances are that nothing whatever will be done. The earnest repealers are fighting with all their might and refuse to confess @ doubt as to the ultimate unconditional re- Peal of the Sherman law. But the condi- tions surrounding them are extremely un- favorable, and they have a good deal to contend with in addition to the open o] sition of the ultra-silver men, Pe OPP” While a great many tentative propost- tions are under consideration and schemes of varions sorts are projected, the sMua- tion today remains unchanged in any defi- nite particular. ——+e-—_____ Army Orders, The leave of absence granted Second Lieut.

Senator Sherman Corrects a State- ment Made by Mr. White. MR. WASHBURN GIVES INFORMATION | To Mr. Dubois as to Two Who ; Will ,Vote For Repeal. > THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL. | THE SENATE. The very evident absence of a quorum of Senators this morning was called to the attention of the Vice President by Mr. Wol- cott (Col) and there was thereupon call of the Senate, to which (after some little delay) the requisite number of Senators— forty-three—responded. Morning business was then proceeded | with. A bill to give settlers on the public lands in Oklahoma territory another year in which to make their first payments on the | land was reported from the committee on | public laads, and was passed. The resolution offered by Mr. Teller last Saturday calling for information as to the purchase of silver bullion in Septembet 1893, was laid before the Senate and agreed to. Mr. Sherman Makes a Correction. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) called attention to a misstatement contained in the speech of Mr, White (Cal.) last week, quoting an ar- ticle from the Bankers’ Magazine of Au- gust, 1873, as to the demonetization act of that year. There was no such article, he said, in the Bankers’ Magazine. The state- ment was false and fraudulent. It was an absolute fabrication, and he wanted to have it marked with the brand of infamy. Mr. White (Cal.) explained that he had taken the extract from other speeches and Tapers and had not consulted the Bankers’ Magazine to prove the correctness of the extract. As his attention had now been called to it, he would have the allusion omitted from all future copies of his speech. ‘The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up, and Mr. Kyle S. D.) rose to address the Senate, but yielded to Mr. Dubois (Idaho). Mr. Bubois Assumes Responsibility. Mr. Dubois complained of a remark made by Mr. Gorman (Md.) last week on the sub- Ject of his resolution to defer action on the repeal bill and other measures until the three vacant seats from Montana, Washing- ton and Wyoming were filled. Mr. Gorman had spoken of the resolution as one of a series intended to obstruct action on the repeal bill. To that statement Mr. Dubois took exception. He said that he had offer- ed the resolution from a sense of duty, entirely on his own responsibility, and with- out consultation with Senators opposed to the repeal bill. He was not in any plan to cbstruct business. He found a precedent for the resolution in the filibustering of re- Publican Senators some years ago to pre- vent the filling of committees while there were three seats vacant in the Senate. Mr. Wa: jome Ini Mr. Washburn (linn.) said that he had Not supposed that the Senator from Idaho, when he offered the resolution, had se- riously supposed that the Senate would sit still and allow Senators to be chosen from States which had not performed their con- stitutional functions. The Senator could not have thought of anything so absolutely absurd. Mr. Washburn added that of the three states In question two were not sil- ver producing states, and had no more in- terest in the coinage of silver than any other states of the Union. Furthermore, those two states were now represented by two Senators, both of whom were in favor a the unconditional repeal of the Sherman we. “Please to name (Mr. Wolcott interposed excitedly) the two states that are repre- sented by Senators in favor of uncondi- tional repeal. “I will do so with great pleasure,” Mr. Washburn suavely replied. “They are the states of Washington and Wyoming. I should like the Senator from Minne- sota,” said Mr. Dubois, “to state on whose authority he makes that statement.” “I make it on the authority of the Sena- tors themselves.” “Very well,” said Mr, Dubois. “I imas- ine that those Senators will resent that imputation. There never has been a time when members of Congress from those states have not voted for the free and un- limited coinage of silver; and I state that the Senators from the states of Washing- ton and Wyoming on this floor are not for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act.” ‘he Senator from Washington (Mr. Squire) told me,” Mr. Washburn persisted, “that he should vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law.”” Mr. Kyle Against Repeal. The incident closed by Mr. Kyle’s coming to the floor and proceeding with his argu- ment against the repeal bill. Mr. Kyle read his argument against the bill. By actual count there were three democratic Senators and eight republican Senators in their seats part of the time, and the galleries were almost empty. At last the deserted condition of the Senate chamber appealed to the sympathies of Mr. Kyle's colleague (Mr. Pettigrew), and the result was that, through the instrumental- Ity of a call, the temporary presence of forty-six Senators was secured and the speech was proceeded with. THE HOUSE. 5 ‘The attendance in the House this morn- ing was small, and the Speaker directed the clerk to call committees for reports, but none were submitted, ‘The debate on the federal election repeal bill was resumed, and the House was ad- dressed by Mr. Dinsmore (Ark.) in support of the measure. He denounced the laws as improper, unauthorized, unjust, unwise and wrong. They stood as an obstruction to the carrying out of the wishes of the people. He expected to see the pledges of the demo- cratic party on this question redeemed. Such @ course was vital to the interests of the government and the happiness of the peo- ple. The people had thrust the democratic party into power in order to enabie tt to repeal those laws which hzd ween put into force by the republicans. It had been said by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Gros- veror) that the republicans had been ap- pealed to in order to help the administra- tion In the repeal of the Sherman law, and | he had intimated that if the federal election bill was called up there might be a falling off in the republican support. There wer some members on the democratic side for whom that threat had no terrors. Mr. Denson Favors Repeal. Mr. Denson (Ala.) followed in a speech of a similar tenor in which he denounced the federal elections laws. Referring to the war, he created a laugh by the sentence: “You were successful, but you did not whip us; we were ourselves out trying to whip you.” Proceeding to a review of the re- construction measures, he asserted that when the Anglo-Saxon ‘race came into con- flict with any other race than the Teutonic, the Anglo-Saxon race must prevail. When. the Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races came into conflict, war would be the result. He did not deny that there had been violations of the federal election laws in the south, but no law had ever been en- acted that had not been violated in the north as well as in the south. Men from the north could not tell men from the south that “‘you have the beam in your eye and we have only the mote in ours.” (Laughter). ae Fitting the New York. Great pressure was exerted to have Sec- retary Herbert revoke the orders for the cruiser New York to be fitted out at New York, but he would not yield and the vessel Was ordered to sail frcm Norfolk today for New York. U. S. SHIPS AT RIO. The Newark and Deiroit Will Reach There This Month. No Farther News in Regard to the Case of Boynton, the Arrested American. Secretary Herbert said this morning that there was nothing new in the case of Boyn- ton, the American citizen arrested for il- legal use of the British flag in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro, and his manner indicated that he did not attach much importance to the incident. “I have instructed Capt. Picking to hold the man,” said the Secre- tary, “and I suppose he is doing so. That’ all that has been done about it so far, and as to what will be done I am not prepared to say.” To Strengthen the Naval Forces. The United States naval force at Rio will be materially strengthened before the pres- ent month is out, and there will be no longer any apprehension with respect to the protection of American interests in that quarter. The flagship Newark, with Act- ing Admiral Stanton, will arrive there about the 15th, and the cruiser Detroit will not be more than a week behind her. A cable message received at the Navy Department today announced the arrival of the Newark at Barbados today, thereby indicating that she has lost no time so far on her trip from New York to Brazil. She will replenish her coal bunkers at Barba- does and then continue on her journey. It will take her about two days to coal. The Newark will make no other stop until she reaches Rio. Her orders are to proceed with dispatch. No Delay as to the Detroit. There will be no further delay with re- spect to the Detroit. The inspection board, of which Admiral Belknap is president, has reported to the Navy Department that she fulfills all contract requirements and with a few minor repairs will be completely ready for sea service. This is the resilt of the Detroit's forty-eight-hour trial in the open sea last week. Secretary Herbert was very much gratitied with this report and he has ordered that the necessary repairs to the vessel be made at once at the Norfolk navy yard, so that she can start for Rio on Wednesday of this week. She will not be called back this time. ——_-2-—____ THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. Estimates of Money Required for the Next Fiscal Year.

KISSING: Oct. 2.—As is usual in the case of aged convalescents it is hard to de- termine from one day to another what Prince Bismarck’s condition will be. It is certain that his last illness has left perma- nent marks upon him, and it is doubtful if he will ever recover his usual health and strength. His progress towards récovery has been again retarded by the entire fail- ure of his appetite. He will now scarcely touch food. The reports that he had suf- fered an attack of paralysis are borne out by the fact that his right hand is apparent- ly completely useless, He salutes with his left hand and is even compelied to sign his name with that hand. He has aged in looks very much since his sickness and in appearance is very decrepit. sible for him to enter or leave his carriage without assistance, and whenever he goes driving two men servants help him out and into the, Wealcle.
