THE OMAHA DAILY BE ESTABLI LIGHT VOTE CAST IN ERANCE Hot Weather More than Popular Indifference Responsible for the Result. REPUBLICANS MAKE ENCOURAGING GAINS with the Probable Re- Yarprises In Connectlo Efect of the Pu sulte s Ear as Known at 1 O'Cloek This Morning, uma Soandal [Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Panus, Aug. 20.—[New York Herald Cable —Specinl to Tus Bee]—The elect Bave taken place with the most complete salmness everywhere, ‘The only exceptions wro a fow trifiing disorders here and there that are of no importance. No serious trouble is roported anywhere, The number of those that took part in the vote is rela- tively small. This 18 due as wmuch to the stifling heat which prevails as to the lack of political excitement which has character- Izea the campaign, As yet but few of the results ure known. M. Lockroy has been re-clected in with the cnormous majority of 12.000. M. Floquet,president of the last Chamber, will have to stand a second time, a8 he falls short of an absolute majority ; and he will be dofeated if his adversaries combine against nim. This result is very surprising, for he was very popular. The Panama scandal is the cause of his lost popularity. and yet the people of Paris are not fonder of those who »rought the accusations against the Panama peoplo than they are of the accused. M. Andrieux also falls short of the neces- sary majority, and he will certainly be de- feated on the sccond ballot. M. Goblet, the radical ex-prime on the other hand, although he will have to stand again, will doubtless be elected. This Is significant, for his opponent in Paris, M. Yves Guyot, was strongly supported by the government, The results in the Draguignan district where M. Clemenceau was a candidate, indi- sate that the radical leader will probably bo defeated. M. Dupuy, president of the council of min- Isters, has been re-clected. E M. Richard, the former minister of justice and compromised in the Panama affaiv, has been re-elected, M. Laguerre and M. Barresave in ballotage, that is to say, they will have to stand a second time, M. Drumont, chidt of the party, is sure of his clection. giving vise to much comment. MM.

Except slight disturbances in the Var, where M. Clemenceau, the radical leader, had a hot fight with his enemies, 1o _trouble had been reported at 11:30 tonight. Tn Paris the poll, although muck krger than usual, was quite featureless. ‘The ascertained results thus far arc as follows In Paris Alphonse Humbert, member of the commune and prosident of the municipal council; Gustay Mesureur, radical socialist; Alexandre Mellerand, radical; Edouard Lockvoy, republican radical; Des met, republicau radical, and M. de Neclhieau, editor of the Iclair, have been clected. ~ Charles Rloguet, who resigned the prosi- deney of the Chamber bocause he was ve smirched by the Panam lals, headed the list in his distriet, but was obliged 10 try his fortunc in a reballot, >remicr Goblet, radical socialist, polled thoe lurgest nuwber of votes in his district, but must_also await the decision of the ballot.

Rowe, Aug. 20.—The anti-French agi started by the massacre at Aigues-Mortes has gained ground rapidly since the first demonstrations were made yesterday morn- ing. Late last evening a mob attacked the Santa Shaira seminary of French priests, tore down the escutcheons from the facade, trampled them uuder foor smashed the windows and tried to force doors. Further damage was prevented by a strong police force, which dispersed tho mob and guarded the seminary until late this evening. Demonstrative crowds paraded the streots tonight shouting for the king and cailing for revenge for the massacre. The police were in double force this evening ana prevented riots. At 10 0'clock thousands had packed the Piazza Colona. A dozen bands led proc sions up the streets, entering the square, and before 11 o'clock the whole.district was filed with excited crowds. The bands played Italian and German airs while the people sang. The temper of the people is reflected by the newspapers, which are ununimous i de- nrnding reparation from France and in urg- ing the government to exact satisfaction promptly and determinedly. At the same time jtho people are exhorted to restrai their just idignation and await as ¢ possible the event of the government's action.

NOT A DEMOCRATIC IDEA slief Snggested by the Voorhees Bill Often Recommended by Republicans, PROPOSED BY FCLGER TEN YEARS AGO Reports of the Secretaries of the Treasury Have Often Dwelled on the Neoossity of Just What the New Bill Frovides Fo WasnixatoN Brrrav or Tin Bee, 518 FounTEENTH STREET, } WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, Quite as much is being swd in congr sional eircles about the Voorhees bill giving national banks circulation to the full par value of bonds deposited as is being said upon the silver question. The proposition is not, however, a new one, and the comment and discussion arenot the result of dis- covery, bue rather upon the effect the law would have if the bill were immediately passed. The proposition is an old one. was first made by See retary Folger, & republican, in At that time Secretary Kolger, ulluding to the small margin of profit which national banks then had on their circulation, only three-fifths of 1 per cent, said: *With this embarrassment, will not the circulation be s0 largely retired as to trouble the business community? Ways are suggested of fore- stalling a troublesomo contraction of the cir- culation—one, a reduction or abolition of the tax on circulation; another, an increase of the rato of issue to 9) per cent of the curr wmarket valuo of the bonds; anotuer, that the 4und 4!¢ per cent bonds be funded iuto 3 per conts. ‘Phe comptroller again recomniends & repeal of the tax upon capital and deposits, in which I coneur.” It Tax on Clreulation Repealod. The result was March 3, 1853, the tax on aland deposits was repeated and, July, banks were given power to take out ) per cent of circulation. I this connection it may be well to note again that circulation only paid three-fifths of 1 per ceut and not 1215 per cent. as Kepreseutative B, Nebraska says. 1t can also be stated that 0 1882 this tax so repealed amounted to £2,482,000: the tax on circulation being re- tained. ‘Phe national banks from 1854 to 1882 had paid in tax on circulation, deposits and on capital the euormous sum of 8§60, 276,000, In December, 1883, Mr. Folger us sccretary of the treasury saia: *“The national bank act at fivst provided for the issue of circula- tion equal 1o 90 per cent of the current mar- ket value, but not to excoed the par value of United States bonds bearlng 6 por centin- terest, and the subscquent uct of March 3, 1863, limited the circulation to 45,000,000, 1o be issued in the same ratio to capital upon and 6 per cent vonds. Siuce then tho rate of interest upon bonds and the profit ou cir- culution huve decreased. Profit Almost Vanished. “With that decrease the ratio of circula- tion issued upon the actual or market value of bonds has also decreased until it is proba- ble that, without helping logislation, io mstend of gain will ensue from depositing bonds as security for circulation. The holder of bonds can borrow moncy in the market upon them as a pledge at 95 per cent upon their market value. There is a dis- crepancy with this, in the requirement of the law, that 90 per centonly of circulation shall be issued on bonds, some of which have a market value of §122. This asks a margin of §33 s security for circulation, instead of $10, as it was at the start of the national bunk system.” The secrotary then recommended an iu crease of the issuc of circulation to the face value of the bonds deposited and a repeal of the tax on circulation In Secretary McCullough's report for 1884 he called attention to the fact that within a year there had been a decrease in circula- tion equal to $25,000,000, aud he said the 4 and 4i; per cent bonds were too high *“to enable banks to base circulation upon at a profit.” A bill had passed the senate at the then last session to allow banks to take out circulation for the facs value of vonds deposited, und he recom- mended the passage of that bill, that bunks be allowed also to' deposit the 3-65 District ot Columbia bonds and o repeal of the tax on circulation, Actual Loss to Small Banki In 1889 Secretary Windom saia: “The hanks now derive no profit from their circu- lation, and an actual loss is inflicted upon the small banks and upon those located in the aewer sections of the country. by reason of being obliged 1o purchase bonds at & high aud steadily advancing premium as u basis for circulation. A change in existing law is necessary to prevent serious contraction of the curréncy. The remedies proposed by the comptrollerare a reduction in the minimum of bonds deposited to secure circulation; an in-_ crease in the percentage issued thereon in circulating notes, and a reduction of the tax now levied on circulation. These recom- mendations are approved.” In 1500 Secretary Windom comptroller again calls attention to the fact that the issue of ing notes has be- come unremunerative on account of the high premium commanded by the bonds of the United States, and renews his recommendi- tions of lust year, in which I concur.” Secretary Foster Kecommended It, In 1891 Secretary Foster said: “Iinvite favorable atteution to the recommendations of the comptroller that the present law be so amended as to provide that no national bank shull be required to maintain a bond deposit of over 51000 to secure circulation; that bunks may 1ssue circulating notes equal to the par value of bonds deposited; that the monthly withdrawal of bonds pledged to se- cure circulation shall not exceed §i,- 000,000 in the aggregate and that the semi- annual tax on circulation be reduced to one- fourth of 1 per cent.” Under Mr. Cleveland's first administra- tion his secretaries were silent on this sub- Jject, and hence the bill offered by Senator Voorhees cannot ve said o be a democratic measure, in the light of early and persistont recommendations by republican secrotaries of the treasury. Will Pass the Voorhees Bill, Senator McPherson of New Jersey, who is the exponent of President Cleveland’'s ad- ministration in the upper brauch of congres, stated to Tue Beecorrespondent tonight that in ail probability the bill to increase na- tional bank circulation would pass the sen- ato on next Wednesday. Senator McPher- son takes a view opposite to most others upon the way tho free coinage men will look at this measure. He says the uational banks bill will immediately put §25,000,000 more money into circulution ana within a few months turn loose upou the country from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000. This will re- lieve the stringency of the times and obviate much of the necessity for the repeal of the silver purchasiug law; all of the sity so far as a scarcity of ready money is concerned, leaving onl the lack of confidence iu the business worls He believes, theretore, that the silver m knowing that Mr. Cleveland would not sign any measure giving silyer a larger use than at prosent, will be jnclined to support the bauk circulation bill, and thus ar far as pos- sible remove the areument in favor of reveal of the silver law. Senator McPherson be- lieves that the unconditionsl repeal of tne silver law will finally pass the senate after prolonged delay. He s positive that it will if the bank circulation bill Joes not become @ law. Costly Experience with Cheap Work, Serious and iadignant complaints have been made to the highest authorities in the fovernment & ainst the continuance of the mperfect and unsatisfactory photo-litho- graphic work of the United States patent ofice. Public and individual interest in patents for iuventions and for trade marks, labels, etc., is almost uuiversal, and there- aid: “The < - % Z foro the subject of &€ complaints general concern. Th the work in question mero cheapness in guided experiments 1 cupposed cconomy in thii ss of work have been heretofore made, at always resulted in lamentabie and humiliating failures, The trouble now is of the same nature. It is outcome of the attempt by the commissioner of patents to effect 4 reduction in expenses where cheap work is wholly inappropriate and unwarrantable. With the allered purpose of reducing the expenses of his ofico—which, by-the-byo, is the only office undor the government that' is literally solf-sustaining—the commissioner awarded the contract for photo-lithograph mg to o new and untried company. ‘Tho saving elaimed by him is €1,700, but, in fact, no such saving has been offected. On the contrary, the Inventive Age. an authority on patent office matters, charges that the change has resulted in'a 10ss of no less than £0,000 to the government, because the work of tho entiro force of examiners has been blockaded for several weeks on account of not having in their portfolios copies ofsre- cently issued patents. Waa a Signal Fallure, Tho trial in this, as in previous instances where experiments with cheap work have been made, has resulted in signal failure on the part of the now company to do the work on timo or in a satisfactory manner. Asa result of delays and the poor quality of the work of the contractors, the commissioner has been showered with complaints and pro- tosts against experimentiog with such im- portant work. But the objections have been ignored by the commissioner and now scores of appeals to the higher authorities are coming in from all parts of the union, urging that this im portant work of photo-lithographing for the patent oftice shall at once be placed in the hands of co_apetent parties in order that the interests of inventors, manufacturers and others may not be sacrificed Pen Picture of So Today's Washington Post has the following picture of Nebraska's junior senator: Senator Allen of Nebraska was one of the visitors in the house yesterd as his own assembly was not in session.

SILVER MEN AND THEIR OPPONENTS Various Plans of Both k ducting the Campalgn aonts 1n Cone Party Polle Review ot o, A Factor tho Situ WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—A half month congress has passed and the third opens with both sides confident, but many changes in the situation. The devel- opments of the weck just passed have brought surprises to both ciements and have demonstrated the impossivility of partisan politics entering into the battie. The repub- lican senators from the silver states have re- itorated with greater emphasis their loyalty to the silver cause, while Dan Voorhees, the democratic senator from Indifing, witha free coinage record of twenty years, has surprised his former friends by declaring for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act, and as chairman of the finance commit- tee has cast the deciding vote for the favor- ablo report of such n measure to the senate, Thus, the disuppointment which the re- peal men expericnced when Senator Vest of Missouri so emphatically declared for free coinage and against unconditional repeal has been more than offset by the ac won - to their ranks of the distinguished chaivman of the committee on finunce. But the freo coinage men of the senate ave still resolute and determined, and no one familiar with the situation can hope for a final settlement of the question in the sonate without almoss endless discussion, ending through many weelks, and votes upon innumierable proposi- tions to be submitted by the silver men in case of thedefeat of this leading proposition, the Week. Tt is not improbable that the coming woeek e the bill to permit national banks to e their issuc of bank notes to the par value of their United States bonds on de- posit, forced to a vute in_the senate, ana the indications ave that it will eceive o majority Some of the silver senators aro in avor of resisting all remedial legislation whutever, unless there be coupled with it a luw for the free coinuge of silver, while the majority apparently considers this polioy ill- advised and does not think the silver men can afford to oppose the cuvrency bill, which will immediately swell the volume of na- tional bunk notes 19,000,000 or more and noy tend to affect in uny dogree the essential merits of the free co uestion, Any legislation further than this will meet with a solid phalanx of opposition from the silver men, and if they sce any probu- bility of finding themsclves in a minority they will demand vrompt action on the con- tested cases of Senators Mantle andAllen, whose admission, it is believed, will give the silver clement at least two more voies in the United States senate.

Congressman Bryan, one of their most eloguent leadors, has spoken and his speech has_ elicited the highest praise, but it is doubted by mauy whether even such efforts could change many votes in the house now, so little does the situation seem to depend upon argument or past predilections.§ When scen by the Associnted press repro- sentative today, Congressman Bland de- chued to give uny cstimate of the result of the vote on the virious relative propositions, saying thavhe had made no canviss of the sentiments of the house. Congressman Bryan, who by common consent is accordea the place of ehief lioutenant to Chuirman Blund, gave the following estimate of the situation: “The canvass s not sufficiently complete to make an accurate statement as 1o the votc in the house. I am satisfled, howevar, that a majority of the membors of the houst favor frec coinage at some ratio. Most of the advocates of free coinage are in favor of the present ratio of 16 to I, bug others favor other ratios, running as high s to 1. The propositions submitted to the house do not go higher than 20 to 1, but if no ugreement is rveached the fricnds of free coinago will still oppose unconditional ropeal of the Sherman luw, hoping to seeure some afrmative legislation after the committecs are organized, when the matter comes before congress again,” Lines Closely Drawn, It is not only possible, but probable, there- fore, that unconditional repoal will ‘be de- feated even If the siver men fail to carry 1ree coinuge ov the Bland law, The lines are being closely drawn. The leading advo- cates of the Wilson bill, such as Tracey, Hendrix, Harter, et al, openly advocate the adoption of & single goldl standard by all the nations and 1t Is becoming embarrassing to Jose who are adyocating repesl usa mesns of securing bimetalism. Iv becomes more wud more dificult to understand how these two clements can work 8o harmoniously together Lo secure exactly opposite results, To wec them chalting together one can hardly believe that each side tely to think how unconditional al s going to fool the other side. Some. body is going to be terribly disappointed it tho'Sherman law s repealed uncondition- ally. Will iv be thoso who expect it to bring back bimetallism or those who expect by it to secure a vuiversal gold standard? “I belieye the sentiment in favor of silver is increasing, and from the letters 1 have re- ceived 1 am’ satistied that the wrowth in sentiment is not confined to the west. What o [ think of unconditional ul with o declaration in favor of bimetallism? Let me answer the question by asking another. Would a jury scquit a man charged with murde# because the prisouer had left a note saying he fully intended to return and resusitate the vietim " General Tracey's Views. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia declined to give any estimate of the voto at the end of the discussion und referred the question to Congressiman Now York, who has had charge of the canvass and who is really recognized as the leader of the re. pealing force We have made & canvass,” said General Tracey, “snd the result has convinced us that we have @ clear majority on every proposition—after concoding Lo our opponents twenty-five doubtful votes “There is no doubt that the unconditional re- peal bill will pass and that every proposition and ratio proposed oy the silver people will be defoated by u substuntial voto. Even conceding to them overy one of the twenty- fiye doubtful votes we still haye clear mi jority on every proposition. ‘There cun be 140 doubt as to the result, and the Sherman act will be unconditionally repealed.” Iix-Speaker KReed, the loader of the repub- lican siue, declined to give any estimate of the result or express any opinion, saylng b had not yet decided whother be would evea spaak on the Guestion or not.
