Before the vote suggestions were made to Mr. Washburn, fn view of the intense heat and absenco of 80 many senators, that he should lot tho bill go over untl next session as the unfinished business, Tais concession Mr. Washbura doclined to make, but he madoa counter proposition that, as the bill hiad boon debated over two weeks, tho senato should ut 4 o'clock tomorrow proceed to otz on the vill and amendments. Mr, White Makes an Ohjection. Mr. White met this proposal as e had mot a similar one on Wednesday —with a very prompt and determined objection, Mr. Pagdcck then proceeded to deliver an argument in favor of the bill, saying that in that argument hie voiced the sentiment of the agricultural state of Nebraska. Mr. Turpie also defended the bill froma moral and logal point of view. Afterwards the amenaments came up for action. Mr. Washburn's amendment to strike out section 12 was agreed to. Mr. Daniel's umendment to strike out sec- tion 13 was debuted until several sena ors, exhausted by the heat, voted unanimously for adjournment.

Wasnixatos, D. July 28, —Chairman Durborow of tho World's Columbian expo- sition committeo said this afternoon, after the ndjournment of the house, that the fair people would have a voto tomorrow on tho motion of General Bingham to lay on the table Judge Holman’s motion to reconsider the vota of concurrence ou tho senate §5,000,- 000 amendment. Mr. Durborow added that they would carry the motion by a quorum of the house and win the fight. The filibustering move- ment. he said, was avout at its end and would be killed tomorrow. Mr. Durborow declarea that the fair ap- propriation proposition is uwenty votes stronger this evening than 1t was vesterday, and that the filibusterers were weaker through the loss of several of their meu. “And,” he coutinued, “ know of three more mon they will lose tonight. The fili- busterers were not over forty strong this afternoon.’” Mr. Outhwaito and others of the filibust- erors asserted that they woala keep up their fight and uitimately win, though it is not an- nied that they have lost'several mon who re- fuscd 1o continue to remain in Washington and that thoy are weaker in some respects an yesterda, Filibusterers Want to Compromise. Tho filibusterers ave endeavoring to force a_compromise, aud have made offers to the World's fair people of a basis of settlement for the deadlock. This would scem to bour out the assertion of the World's fair man- agers that the opposition is weakemug. It seems likely on the whole that before the end of the week asettiement will be reached, us Lhe majority of the members are weary of the continuance of the session and a quorum can hardly ve held much longer. ‘'ho principal compromise was made by Mr. Outnwaite to Mr. Durborow. It was that tho World’s fair mauagers accept an amendment to the sundry il bill providing for o louu instead of an appropriation of $,- 000,000. The pro: osition was promptly de clined. The house has already concurred in the senate amendment, and beforo it could adopt a loan vroposition 1t would be ne sary for it 1o roconsider its previous action. Another compromwise talked of among mom- bers contomplated the elimination of the $5,000,000 appropriation from the sundry bill and the adoption of an ironclad rule that at a_certan hour on the first Waodnesday 1n December a voto bo taken on a bill to appropriate £5,000,000 in ad of the World’s fair. the bill to bo an dependent measure and one oo which a vote could bo hud immediately.

The final outcome in the event of a failure in this offors is very doubtful, #s a quorum cannot be held much longer. ‘The effort will doubtiess be made on the resolution offered in tho house tolay by Mr. Bingham, and referred to the rules com- mitteo, providing for a vote tomorrow after- poon on his motiou to table Holman's recon- sideration motion and then for suce votes on other clauses relating to the An_ adjournment of congress can very speadily follow any conclusion as to the sun- dry civil bill.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. George R. a k Banker, Fires & Fullet Through His Braln, New Yok, July 25.—Goorge K. Sistare, a banker, committed suicide by shootive this morning in a room at tho Manhattan club. “The police seemed to have an idea that tho case might be one of muraer and not of sui- cide, bat at tho club this theory was said o be foolish. Three skots had been fired from tho revolver. Ore bullet had lodged ina sofa aud apother had struck the wall. The third had penetrated Mr. Sistare’s right tewplo, 1f Sistare was shooting at himselr, the polico say, ne must have been a poor shot to have fired three times and to have ouly nit bimsell with the third shot, 1t developed upoa investigation that Sis- are was not a regular member of the Man- hattan club, and had only visited the club but once or twico befora in company of # friend, The snootiug occurred in the reception room on the ‘irst tioor. ‘There wers no lotters or pupers found on the person of Mr. Sistare to intimato that ho contemplated taking his own lifo. At the Manhattan clubit was said that Mr. Si tare had called at tho club and asked to seo Lawyer Menry S. Bennett. He was ushered 1nto the reception room and his card sent up 1o Mr. Bennott, Shortly afterwards Me, Beuuett eutored the roception room, three shots were fid and Mr. Bennett rushed out cr: He has killed himself.” “I'he firm of Georwe Sistare & Co. failed in 1800 for over §1.500,000, and serious charges wero made of Huancial irregularitios on the part of tho firm. W. H. Sistare, head of the firm, was urrested on & charge of hav. ing swindled August Hecksher out of 83,000 by the failuro. Henry 3. Bennett was the lawyer for the Sistares. Fllice OMcer Monahan reported the shoot- Ing av the coroner’s office this afternoon. He founa Mr. Sistare lying on tho floor dead.

C. Ropresentutive Kom has amazed bis alli- Ance brothers in the house onco more. Ho cast a vote yesterday which shields national baokers and protects baukiug interests. Represontative Dalzell of Ponnsylvania in- troduced a resolution so comprehensive as to compel the socretary of the treasury to un- cover all the general transactions of the bankiag systems, both national und private, 80 far as the depactment is concerned, during the past fifteen or twenty or thirty years. It called for a statement as to tho total umount of taxes paid by national banks to the Uaited States government: the total thoy have paild to the several states and municipalities 1 which they aro located; tho amount of taxes paid by all kinds of banks and bank- ing associations under the acts of March 20, 1867, and May 1, 1857, imposing a tax of 10 per cont on state bank issues: what amount of money has been lost to national bank note holaers by failure of banks to redeom, and a statement of what amount of money was lost by Lolders of state bank notes between 1850 and the period when national banks were organized. Mr. Kem voted “no” on the question of adopting this resolution. Nebraskans and others ure usking why 1t was, it Mr. Kem believes state banks ard the bostand national banks bave robbed the people, he refused to compel the secretary of the treasury, from the ofticial records, to make an exposition of state bank interests under the old regime and expose tho national banking overations. It is clear that Mr. Kem knew that if theso figures were fortucoming he and his *‘inde- pendent” colleagues would have uothing to howl about and misrepresent during the com- ing campaign. Itis not facts that they want, but un opportunity to falsify facts. After the house refused to adopt the resolution, Senator Sherman offered it in the senate, where it was promptly adopted. Republican Campaign Plans, The movements of Chairman Cartor of the republican national committee were followed with ~great interest today by cvery active politician in Washington who could escape from the capitol. Tho most scusational re- sults were oxpected from the visit of the chairman, but his interviews with any num- ber of nators and representatives who called upon him at the Arlington hotel, to namo whom would te aimost to rehearso a director, of cougress, did not after all reveal much as to tho gen- cral political situation. Mr. Carter beld an interview with President Harrison at the white house during the day aud declined to say & word for publicrtion, Object of the Conference. Tae Bee's correspondent was -avlo to learn, however, from a sourco absolutely authoritative, these facts: First—The visit of Mr. Carter has cspecial reference to the general plan of the republican campaign, and also to aome of its details. Second—His visit involved a discussion of the situation in New York and of the re- spective attitudes of Messrs. Platt, Warner and Bliss toward the nationsl republican ticket. Third—His discussion with tho president mcluded a careful review of the possibility of carrying some of the southern states, not- ably Teunessce, North Carolna and West Virginia, for the republican ticket. It1s upon equaily high authority that the stutement is made that at the con- feronce botween tho president and Mr. Carter today an understanding was roached that Mr. Platv's control of the party organization in New York would not be interfered with in suy way. He will be asked to do all that he can to sccure the clectoral vote of New York for tue repub- licaus and the request will be made in such terms as to make bis acquiesconce fcertain. It 1 believed that after Mr. ialt has scen Mr. Carter, his support of the republican ticket will hot be porfunctory, but enthusi- astic. Wagmixeros Bureav or Tim !\u} July 28, An Emissary of Peuco, Perhaps the visit of Collector Hendricks to Washington today had something to do with socuring parly barmony in New York. Mr. Hendricks said ~tonight that it bad not, that he was here merely on “ofticial business,” bu, it would be un- usual “official”” busiiess that would carry tne collector of the port of New York, atter a prolonged interview with Secretary of ~the Treasury Foster, to the white house for a prolonged chuv with the president, aud then send him tonight to the private residence of Secretary Foster for avother coufidential interview. Still Mr. Hendricks assured Tue Bik cor- respondent that his mission to Washington had not the sligtest counection with poli- tes, Think Success Certaln, Mr. Carter was enthusiastic in all that he said about the prospect of repu lican victory in the coming compaign. Success was cor- tain on the tarifl issue alone. Among the many membirs of conaress who consulted wiih the republican national chairman today wuas Representative Houk of Tennessee. Mr. Houk seid afterwards: “I havo no doubt of & good chunce for carry- ing Tennesseo for the ropublican tickot this fall. The third party movement will cut heavily into the democratic vote,” Secretary Foster aud Secratary Blkins voth held long consuitations with Chairman ‘arter. Touight ex-Chairman Clarkson spent au hour at the house of Senator Alli- son.

P. 8. H. -—l IT DAMAGES THE FARMER, How Speculators Manipalate the Price of Grain to_Their Advantage. - Wasmixaroy, M. C., July 23.—[Speclal Telegram to Tn& Bre, |—Senator Paddock delivered a spesch in the senato touay in support of the antioption bill. After quite a full and interesting review of options futinres and the mewnod of dealing in produce exchauges, how the gamblers on the board first - depress the markot with the view of forcing actual holders of erain 10 sell, and when the prico has been greatly reduced, buyine undev cover lareely, and after disposing ofall of thair holdings at the top of the market, selling many bushels beyond for the short account, they repeat the same tactics to run prices down again to the lowest lével with & view of making an enormous profit on the bear side, Mr. Paddock sald: “The farmer furnishes the substance to be speculated on, His labor and his capital have produced it. Before all others he is entitled to a free and unovstruvted market, but alono of all leritimate producers he is refused it for his principal products. Theso vre taken posses- sion of by a vast army of men who toil not, upon whose brows gather not the sweat from tee lubor which it is appointed unto all men to perform. Thow stock-in-trade is princi- ally wind, which they possess without limit eithior as to quantity or quality, but wheu they bave at length put tbe farmer's grain on ‘the market he is wholly unable to recog- nizo it. He finds that 1t has becomo so swollen by the wind forced into it that for every busael before’it left the farm there aro now fifty to 100, and in the transforma- tion process it has become principally wiud. “‘He is assured thut ths result, which places on the market fifty or 100 bushels of this new variety of wheat in the place of each bushel which he has put into the deal, helps to make the market active.” Has Damn red the Farmer, Speaking of the agricultural industry he said: “The dealing in options and future bas brought that industry to the very brink of ruin, polluting all the streams of legiti- mate commerco leading to and from it. It has lowered tho standard of business morals, made millionaires of the fewv and paupers of the multitude, among whom are found tha representatives of very profassion, overy trade, every voeation and every social cluss.) Mr. Paddock read a letter from George J. . Broomhall, editor of the Corn irace News of Liverpool, to C. Wood Davis of Knusas, stating that it was the custom of dealors in wheat at Liverpool and in other Buropesn markets to send to this country aud make enormous short sales, thus hedging against their holdings of Wheat, on the other side. Mr. Paddock said, as to the extent of these short sales by fordign holders, that it was ractically the importation duty freo of a corresponding amount of wheat to add to our supply and depress the market by this vol- ume. Mr. Paddoci said_that the official report of sales on the New York Produce cxchaugo for 1540 shows that 1,235,377,000 bushels of wheat were sold 8dd, that of, this amount only 22,401,000 bushels represented aciuul cash wheat. The total wheat cron of the United States for 1890, was only 400,000,000 bushels, The nggrogate transactions in wheat in the same exchange auring. 1591 were still larzer and the agsregate exceds of sales 1n.that year larger1n proportionto the uctual cash wheat than those for 1890, In the week ending February 16 of thapresent year the sales of the New York exchang¥amount®d to 52,625, 000 bushels, while the Peceipts of that mar- kev during the same period were less than 5,000,000 bushels, showingithat each bushel of wheat recoived wu. sold seven times over during that week.

Powers, stal, MICRIGAN'S G TRYMANDER. It s Declared Unconstitutionnl by the Su- preme Court of That State. Laxsixg, Mich., July 25.—Tho supreme court has decided that the biil passed by the last legislaturo gorry- mandering * the logislative districts. is unconstitutional, und ordered the secretary of state to issue notices of election i accordance with the redistricting act of 1881, Justice Grant, in his opinion declaring the senatorial zerrymander uct of 1891 invand, say. The apportionment acts of 1801 and 1885 are unconstitutional aud void. The secretary of state is restrained from issuing notices under the act of 1501, but not under that of 1885, uuless the governor shall call a speciul session of the legislature. *“T'his act is held unconstitutional upon the inequality of the apportionment. A county to have two seuators must havo a ratio and s moiety of a ratio of population, Unless it be held that the urconstitutionality of the act of 1885 has been removed by its being ncautesced in in the late elections, it is affected with the same constitutional infirmity as the act of 1891, It 1s my opinion that notices should be given under the act of 1885, us it has bsen acqui- esced in, but I hold tothe opinion ot my brethren.” Chief Justice Morse agrees with tho opin- 1on of Justico Grant: In granting a mandamus in the case of the supervisors of Houghton County against State of Michigan, which declares the repre- sentative apportionment act of 1891 void, Justice Grant says it is not intended by the coustitution that a county snould be divided fn formiug representutive districts, un- less it be entitled to more than oue ropresentative, and then the vision shall be made vy the Board of Super- viso Itis clear that the constitutional provisions were violated and ignorea. 1f one county can be dismembered all can. Under tue molety plan of apportionwent, Houghton, Menominge, Montealm, Tuscola, Salinac and Macomb counties woula each be entitlea to Lwo representatives, Of theso six counties if three were left out it should be the three last named, as they nave tho least popula- tion, but the legislature reversed the consti- tutional order of preference and gave two senators to the last named three counties und but one each Lo the first threo. The act of 1891 is void becuse it attempted to dismem- ver Hovghtoa county und violated the con- stitution in giving the counties two repre- seatatives that had less population than the counties accordad but one. **Au examination of the act of 1891 shows it to have been within the constitutional dis- creiion of the legislature, and the noticas must be given under it unloss the legislaturo makes a now and valid apportionment in special session.’ The court arrives at an unanimous conelu- sion from practically the same standpoint, although tho phrassology in the opinions of Chief Justice Morse and Justice Grant is not the same.
