Hearn. SENATOR HILL'S BILL, ¥lo Wants the Shermun Act Repealod, but Pledges the Country to Bimetalilsm. Aug. 8.—The indications are that there will be arace between the two houses of congress to determine whick shall be foremost i giving consideration to the financial question. The senate made the first step yesterday by presenting several bills and measures which wi presented by the opposition members looking Lo the repeal of the Sherman act or the free coinage of silver. The most significant bill, perhaps, was the one introduced by Senator Hill of New York. The position of the senator from the Bmpire stato has often been called in question, -but the measure he presented today leaves no doubt of his position, as, while repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act of 1800, he unqualiiedly pledges the country to bimetallism. Senator Hill's bill is as follows A BIIL to Repeal Cortain Sections of the Act of July 14, 1590, entitled, “An Act Dirceting the Purchase of Silver Builion and tho Issuo of Treasury Notes Thercon and For Other Purposes. Bo 1t enacted, ete., That sections 1,3 und 4 of the act of July 14, 1590, entitled, “An Act DI Purching Silver Builion and ies Thereon and For sreby repealnd. & act, however, is not be construed s an abundonument of bimetallisi, but 1t is hereby declarea that the volicy of using both gold and silver as the standurd money of the country shall be es- tablished and to the accomplishment of that ond the offorts of the goveruwment shall bo steadily and sufely directed. Western people are félicitating themselves tonight on the position ussured by Senator Hill. While, of course, thoy hardly ex- pected & Now York senator to oppose tho repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act, they arce pleasod t Senator Hill should have so unqualifiedly pledged himself to bimetallism as to indicate his willingness to favor subscquent legislation looking to the restoration of silver as a money metal Cansod Dopressio Utah, SaLr Lakk, Aug. 8.—[Special Telogram to Tug Bee|—The president’s message was anxiously awaited, and upon receipt was vead with intense intercst here. A con- census of expressions from financiors and merchants is to the effect that tho recom- mendations of the president with regard to the unconditional repeal of tho Sherman Law had been anticipated and would not. bo a disappointment to the west. Notwith- standing this fact there s an unmstakabio feeline of depression over the message. The stand takon ngainst silver by Senator Caray of Wyoming is a surpriso to all, except those who knew him forw Disoussed Their Plans. N, Aug. 8.—Immediately aftor the reading of the president's message in the house the advocates of the repeal of the pur- shasing clause of the Sherman law] assem- bled i the halls of the committes on - jud: fary for a further discussion of the terms of the proposition to be made to the friends of the free coinage of silver. 1t was stated that the gentlemen representivg the froe silver side of the controversy desived, before proceeding further with negotiations, to present tho matter to the whole body of sil- vormen and learn whether or not they would support an agreement to discuss the question and come 1o 4 vote ata certain date, e Labor Day Arrangem The committee recently appointed by Cen- tral Labor union to raise funds for Labor day, which cousists of Alfred Fawi- ner, Leo Harfley, Charles Newstrom and A.

This may be accounted for in a meas uro by theexcessivo torridity of this dog-day woather, but it is more than probable that the financial panic that has oversproad the country eut the greater figuro in keeping people away on the opening day. 1 the woathor is really influencing the public, the sooner it realizes that the driving park is as inviting a place as thore is within a twenty-minute motor ride, the better it will be for its pleasure and ph Despite the flerce rays of the sun yesterday afteruoon, the sky was partly overcast with big, flecey clouds for the greater portion of tho time, and a refreshing breoze coming in continuously from the cast rendered a seat in the grand stand a delight incomparable. And to make things still moro attraotive Prof, Steinhauser's band was on hand and intersporsed the afternoon's proceedings with some fnspiriting and acceptable mel- ody.
