BLAND SINGS THE PRAISE OF SILVEK Other Frlonds of the White Metal Spoak Gioquently for Its Retention as Money— Mr. Wilson's Earuest Talk tor Repeal. WasnrearoN, Aug. 206.—Tho floor of the house of representatives was the scene of a battle of glants today. It was the last twenty-four hours of the debate on the finan- cial question and both sides had reserved srs for the closing act thelong-drawn battle. Tom Roeed, the elo- ader of tho republicans, found an in John Allen of Mississippi, Wy wit was one of the sible arguments of the free coinage men todlay. J. R. Williams, a democratic member of the last comumittee on coinage, basought his colleagues to re- momber their party platform. while Bourke Cockran of New York repzated the incidents of tha Inst democratic coavention, in which he played such an important part, uni argued that the true erprotation of the platform was not that souzht to be given by the gentloman from Iilinois. William L. Wil- son, the author of the repealing bill, and Richard P. Biand, the author of the substi- tute measure, upon which the first vote will oceur, closed the debate for their respective sides in exc llent shape. A Strong, Forclble Kffort. The speech of Bourke Cockran was a strong, forcible specoh, but it did not abound in thoso flizhts of oratory which have made him famous. He failed to devote any con- slderable portion of his argument to answer- ng Mr, Bryan, although he had been her- olded as the mun held in reserve by the repealing forces to answering the brilliant young Nebraskun. His argument that the bankers are a debtor rather than a creditor class and that the banks of New York would be benefited millions of dollars and the day laborers of the country robbai of 45 jer cent of their pay by the policy advocated by Bryan and Bland was an ingenious one, but when the Nebraskan inquired why, if that were the case, the bankers of New York are denouncing Mr. Bryan and . Bland, while T. V. Powderly, the ropreseutative of organized labor, is supporting thow policy, the query brought down the applause of the house. Mr. Cockran's brilliant ratort that the bankers 'l believed houesty to be the best policy, was loudly applauded, but his subscquent com- ment that Powderly is pursuing the same line of mental aberration as Bryan ani Bland was not received by the house as re- tort in accordance with the best ethics of parlismentary coartesy. Opening of the Debase. During the entire day the galleries and lobbies of the house were crowded to their ULMOosL cupa On the floor of the house were Vice President Slc\chsfln, Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle, Secretary of the Navy Herbert, President A. J. Warner of the Bimetallic league, Senator Palmer, Senator Cockrell and several other membors of the upper body who have taken u prominent part in the financial discussion in congress. The speaker unnounced that the debate in favor of the bill would by closed by its author, Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, and the argument for the opposition by Mr. Bland of Missouri. Mr. Clarke of Alabama was the first speaker. He believed it the duty of congress to fix the ratio at 16 to 1. Still he would not cast a vote that would continue to paralyze the iadustries of the country. He felt there was a necessity for immediate action to restore confidence. He held that all the trouble was due to the purchasing of silver under the Sherman law, as the people be- lieved, and whether that belief was correct or not he would vote to repeal the law or do anything to restore confldence. Then Ex-Speakor Reed The next speaker was Hon, Thomas B. Reed of Maine. After sketching briefly the financizl condition of the country and de- claring ho huad no desire to deal with the situation from a politi standpoint, he pro- ceeded to suy the Yemocratic party had been brought into power by & curious combina- tion of circumstances, but in a large measure by the apsthy of the American people; Consciousness of this fact, he said, underlics the entire situation, He would not raise the question whether protection were wise or not, but the fact remained, even if it were admitied that the proposi- tions of the democratic platform were en- tirely correct, that the system upon which the manufacturers of the couniry were reg- ulated for thirty years was threatened with total change. Whether that change be for the better o1 not, no man can know, What the democratic party proposes to do nobody cau say; they do not even kuow themselves, The speaker did not believe the democratic party to be utterly bad, nor that it would be permitted 1o bo so if it desired. If veforma- tion of the tariff were in the hands even of its friends, who favored protection, instead of those who had denounced it, business would be stagnant or ata standstill, but when its reformation was In the hunds of men opposed to the present system tho manufacturers of the country who had built up their industries on the present system wust necessarily call & halt. It their goods are tocome in competition with the man- ufacturers of other lands where production is on a different basis, where labor is differ- ently rewarded, no manufacturer will dare manufacture more than wheut absolute necessity requirves. Of the Government's Taritr Pledges. He characterized in this ome phrase the causo of the present condition of affairs—*'undesirable uncertainly of the future of both the currency question and the question of protection and revenue tarift.” He considered the Sherman act and the accumulation of silver as tne earliest indications of approaching disaster rather thau tne chief cause. Hedid not believe that the democratic congress, even under pressure of the people, would so revise the terlf that the workiugmen should be brought back to the condition of the work- ingmen undor the Walker tariff, It was not to be expected that the demo crats, after thirty years of criticism of the acts of others, should be lifted to the higher level of probabilicy and performance. Time only could do that. Until that time came they could rely on the assistance of tho re- publican minority in the direction of sound government and an honest administration. He was sorry that the democratic majority would not permit the republicans to exhibit their wisdom in the way of amendment but confined them to the democratic proposition. He would waste no time showing the rights of a minority as outraged, according to the democratic position, when the republicans were in power, for he recognized now as then, the necessity of the duty of a party in power assuming responsibility for its actions. He was only sorry the ques- tion could not be settled within the bounds of the democratic party itself, buv every- body knew that the majority of the demo- crats would decide against the good sense of the nation. The President’s Predicament. Though he did not beliove repeal of the Shermau act would give immediate pros- perity he would vote for it, because, whother Justly or not, it is believed to be the cause of the hoarding of currency, and becauso only by repeal could the nation hope to attract foreign capital. He characterized the charge that the law of, 1878 was a trick, us “one of the most stupendous fabrications which ever existed in political lide.” The pathway of duty led to unconaitional repeal. '1f that did not give relief we must try something else, and the soouer the better. Republicans found themselves in a pecu- liar position. The newly chosen democratic president found himself powerless in his first great recommendation to his own party and was forced to appeal to the patriotism of another party, whose patriotism has never been appealed to in vain. Mr. Reed sketched the salient points in the financial history of the republican party and closed by saying that when the day came, as it surely would, for that party to lead the country back to prosperity it would take back with it ‘‘our ancient glory un- dimmed by adversity, our ancient honor un- sullied by defeat.” Mr. Reed's closing words were reccived with prolonged applause. He was followed by Mr. DeArmond of Missouri in opposition to unconditional repeal. Mr. De Armond took Secretary Carlisle to task for following the ruinous tinancial policy of his predeces- sor. Had the Sherman law been proverly executed, a parity would have been main- tained, It might be true. but he did not believe the story, that democrats and re- publicans in the senate had agreed to drop tari ¥ reform to secure the passage of the re- peal bill. He would protest against such an arrangement. The «lnhllug lines were be- tween the money powers of the east with foreign backing, as against the toiling masses of the west and south. Mr. Williams of Illinois opposed repeal. He contended that the Sherman law was not responsible for the panic, though the panic was a legitimate offspring of the re- publican party. To repeal the Sherman law would be to broak the last link biading gold and silver. Bourke Cockran Boores Bryan, Mr. Bourke Cockran of New York was the next speaker. Aftersome preliminary ut- terances, he suid the democratic platform did not declare for the free coinage of v silver; an attempt had been made in the copvention by a delegate from Colorado to commit the party to that principle, but it failed to secure tcn votes. Colorado and Nevada were declaring that the party was departing from the plat- form in this matter. If that were so why did those states take to the woodsin the election of 1892, It was because tnose states had abandoned the democratic platform that Mr. Lafe Pence had been clected to con- ress from Colorado. Mr, Cockran declared he was standing on the platform with both feet. He asserted, and defled Mr. Bland to prove otherwise, that there was no instance in the history of civilization where gold and silver circulated side by side at any catio. There always were fluctuations, such as constantly drive out the dearer metal. France had to import §000,000,000 in gold to maintain a parity be- tween the two metals, and the United States would have to do the same under like circumstances. Mr. Cockran controverted the assertion of Mr. Brysn of Nebraska that silver wus still the Dbasis of value of farmers’ products, saying: “If that were 50, why do you not give him the full value of it? You would give the farmer 8713 grains pure silver, while I would give him 651" The pro- posed debasement of coin would reduce debits 45 per cent, Mr, Bryan assumed that the loss would fall on thé banks, but the fact was the banks and corporations were debtors of the country and the workingmen were the creditors. He demed that gold had appreciated. Never before did .the laboring man of America receive so much gold for his labor Messrs, Bland and Bryan proposo in their plans to make the bankers of New York a,present of $21,000,000 in the settlement of accounts with deposi- tors, and deprive the laboring mun of 45 per cent of the value of his work. Mr. Bryan, cinterrupting, asked if that were s0, why New York banks denounced himself and Mr, Bland, and why Grand Master Powderly was with them. Mr. Cockran replied that the banks had learned that in busiuessas in politics honesty was the best policy. Houesty the Best Policy. Mr. Cockran replied that the banks had learned thatin business, as in politi hon- esty was the best policy, He claimed that business depressions were always due to in- flation of the currcucy or of credit beyond the capacity of the business interests to support. The operation of the Sherman luw proved this, It increased the currency and strmgency followed, My, Bland's proposi- tion to give 8713 grains of silver for (51i grains of metal was what would be calied robbery if it reluted to wheat or corn. The farmer suffered most in the depreciation bof prices under the Sherman law, and it was strange that it was the “friend” of the farmer who desired its continuance. Mr. Ceckran spoke of the unity of interests of the whole country and the efforts to sec- tionalize on any basis would resuit in benefit to no one, “Gentlemen have appealed to the sentiment of tho country mewbers’ he continued, “‘as though their interests were hostile to the interests of the cities. 1 speak upon this floor as & mem- ber from a district in the greatest city oo this contiuent, aud I say now to this house that the interests of the city can never be hostile to the interests of the country; that tho existence of that great minicival wealth is based upon the productive powers of the laborers of this land who toil in the fields and who dig in the ditehes, Show me legislation which I am eunvtnced Arill benefit TCONTINUED ON 8BCOND nul,] FOUGHT THE POLICE Unemploged Workmen of Ohicago Make a Riotons Demonstration. OFFICERS ATTACKED WITHOUT WARNING Froma® Peacable Parade to a Howling Mob the Transition Was Rapid. THE FIGHT WAS SHORT BUT DESPERATE Olubs, Stones and Revolver Handles Freely TUs:d on Both Sides, MANY BROKEN HEADS WAS THE RESULT After Some Little Trouble the Mob Was DI persed—The Ringleaders Undor Arrest —Mayor Harrison's New Order— List of the Injured. Cu10AGo, Aug. 20.—A short but bloody riot occurred on Washington street in front of the city hall this afternoon. Police officers and parading unemployed men came together and clubs and rocks were used. The injured are: Porice INsPECTOR A, Ross, cut severely on the head and bruised about the body. SERGEANT SWIFT, cut on the forehead; left hip badly bruised. PATROLMAN JAMES LARKIN, battercd on the head with a club. Among the rioters the following were hurt: M. HoRAIEVIEZ, cut on the head. Jous WENZEL, cut on the head. Cause of the Trouble. Hundreds of unemployed gatheréd at the Lake Front park this afternoon to listen to an address. At the close of the speech-mak- ing they formed a -parade. They were formed in platoons reaching across the street from curb to curb. This style of marching completely stopped traffic, and at the corner of Washington and Clark streets the leaders ordered the men to march by fours. In the confusion of assuming this form there was a general mix-up. The driver of a United States mail wagon was snxious to reach a train, but he could not get through the crowd. \vord was sent to Inspector Ross, at the city hall, and he, with two po- licemen, cleared a passage for the mail wagon, Near the sidewalk stood the buggy of J. H. Martindale, who had driven as close as possible to the curb in order to let the purade pass him. The crowd told Martin- dale to get out of the way, to which he re- phed: “I only wish I could.” 'The crowd seized the buggy and turned it over. Knocked Down the Inspector. Inspector Ross, followed by his three men, ordered the men to move it back. Horaleviez picked up a piece of paving stone und hurled it at Ross, striking him on the head and felling him like a log. Then the fight began. Roes soon regained his feet and knocked down geveral men in quick succession, and his men stood by him. The crowd was too strong for them, and when Sergeant Swift went down with a broken head Inspector Ross drew his revolver and by threatening the crowd managed to hold them at bay. Inspector Shea hurried from the city hall at the head of twelve men and charged the crowd, and Chief of Police Brennan, fol- lowed by his private secretary, came ruun- ning from his office and began operations by knocking down two men. The police by this tiine had got the better of the mob and had forced it back aftera lively struggle, in which clubs, stones and revolver handles were used on both sides. Later 200 more policemen arrived, and - then the: crowd, which numbered several thousand by this time, was dispersed without much trouble. Mayor Hurrison Gives Orders. Av the time the trouble bfoke out Mayor Harrison was in a barber shop ‘near at hand, getting his gray locks clipped. The barber had just put on the finishing~ touches when word came that there was a rfot in front of the city hall. The ' mayor = was out of the chair in an instant. His honor hurried to the city hall, and meeting Chief Brennan, who was just returning from the fight, said: “Brennan, I want no more parades.” “Not at any time’ asked the chief, “Not at any time,and watch these meet- ings. Keep your ofticers on the Lake front and allow no disturbance. Break up any meetings that may be disorderly.” Toduy’s parade, the police say, was com- posed of tough characters and not plain un- employed workingmen. After the men had been dispersea at the city hall they again assembled: at the Lake front and listened to several speechces, Harrison Addresses the Mob. About 4 o'clock Mayor Harrison pushed his way through the surging crowd to the speaker's stand, near the Columbus_monu- ment. Hoaddressed the large gathering, and save for the few hisses and disrespectful remarks of the more desperate element was not iuterrupted, He said that as mayor of the city of Chi- cago he had a duty to perform, aud_ that the rights of the citizens must be protected. He explained they were in no worse circum- s.ances than thousands of men all over the country, and implored to go back to their homes and manfully endaure their present temporary wmisfortune. That they would gain nothing by their parades and demon- strations, he impressed upon them, and said they would not be tolerated. If they per- sisted in carrying on their parades aud noisy gatherings upon the streets, imped- g trafiic and turning over vehicles, he de- claved they would be stopped by the police,” but he hoped such methods would not be required. The mayor then concluded his speech by asking the crowd to disperse and €0 o their home: When he had finished cheers were sent up from the fhroats of nearly all who had heard him, and the crowd scattered.

BAD BLOOD BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY Prolongation ot the Riots May Endanger Yence in Spite of the Fuot that Both Governments Desire to Harmonize the Contending Factlons. (Copurighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.) .—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tae Bee.|—The succession to the throne of one of the smallest kingdoms in Germany has demonstrated to Burove how great are the internal dissensiona of the German empiro, which so far have only been known to a few persons who were initiated into the secrets of the court of Berlin, Until now no one believed the duke of Edinburgh, the son of Queen Vie- toria, would soon become the reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince Bis- marck was always opposed to the accession of any English prince to a German throne, and the duke of Edinburgh has declared sev- eral times that he did not wish to be duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, When the Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha died on Wednesday last, a long conversation of four houss duration took place betwgen the German emperor und theduke of Edinburgh, and after this interview it was officially an- nounced that the English prince would mount the vacant German throne. Ruled by His Wife, [t seems that the duke of Edinburgh was very persistent in order to obtain the kaiser's permission to his accession, and for the fol- lowing reason: The duch of Edinburgh, who is the daughter of the late Czar Alexan- der I, and sister of the present emperor of Russiu, is a very proud woman, and has often felt sore that at the court of St James she, the daughter of one rand the sister of another, has been obliged to yield the precedence to the princess of Wales, dnughlcr of the king of Denmark. She was also sore over the fact that on this account sho was obliged on gula occasions to vlay 7= mdary role, and from this has arisen S.ne bitter discussions and Queen Victoria wis often obliged to intervene between her daughters-in-law. A public scandal growing out of this rivalry -was with dificulty pre- vented during the visit of Ewmperor Willlam to London 1n 1801, on the occasion of the mar- riagé of the daughter of Princess Christian ins the chapel royal at Windsor. The duchess of Edinburgh bezged her husband to not aive up. his rights to succession to the ducal throne, avd to accept a crown which would give her reigning prerogatives. The duke had w0 give way, oven if he only re- maias on ‘the throne temporarily. The duchess will always have the royal rank and *precedence of a sovereign who hud reigned. It is said thut William II did not yield willingly to such reason, but there was the still stronger reason that there is nowhere in Burope a sovereign who has a stronger family connection than the new ruler of this little German duchy of 200,000 inhabitants. French-ltalian Penco Eudangerod. The relations between France and Italy are bad. 1In France there are frequent riots between ltalian and French workmen, and in Italy auti-French manifestations con- tinue in spite of the earnest desire of both governments to restore order. If the present state of things is prolonged diplomacy will be- come impossibleand peace will be endunered, In the south of Italy- the troubles growing out of this affair are assuming an anarchist complexion, after being started in a spirit of ultra patriotism. Thus far all the diplo- matic ldications are that Germany will use her influence over Italy on behalf of peace. Jacques St. CErr, ENGLAND'S CilO LERA SCARE. Reports That Alsin's Scourge Prevamiled at Hull—Excitement Caused. Loxnoy, Aug. 26, —The people of the City of Hull are in a state of warm anxiety over the report that cholera is in their city. The report spread that the dread disease had found a footing in England and the authori- ties in London have been overwhelmed with inquiries as to the truth of the matter. The government board of health met today and decided that feurs which have been aroused throughout England by the re- ported case at Hull must be allayed and that this could be done only by a statement from them. They therefore sent out o document in which they asserted thatan epidemic in England at the present time was impossible, owing to the measures taken to prevent the entrance and spread of the dis- ease, “There have been reports of further suspi- clous cases in Germany today. In Naples soven deaths from cholera oc- curred today. There was one death from cholera in Rotterdam and two new cases were reported. The peoplo of Marseilles are in a state of trepidation lest they should have another experience with cholera, A steamer has arvived there from Jeddin with @ number of pilgrims from Mecca.

In view of the publication almost simulta- neously with the cutting down of wages of the monthly report, showing an iner e over the same month last year 1 the ings, the employes, and more especially the tr inmen, have been inclined to revel. A grievance committee from the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen met some St. Paul ofticials at Milwaukee, but was giv no satisfactory explanation, nor, so it is imed, any promises for the future. The result hus bee ding to the present gossip, a deci ugurate a strik ginning tomorrow evening, over the whole system. Presitent Roswell Miller said to Tue Bi correspondent, when ¢skei as to the repos *We have neard no suéh report.” ““Has the company hadany intimation of the strike?” “No. We havenot heard any report that there was to be a strike,” **You know there has been much dissatis- faction with the cut in wages?” “Well,” and. Mr. Miller paused, asking an unfair question.” He volunteered no information on the sub- jeet. The trainmen are keeping their own counsel, and it would scem that a strike very soo is likely.

It is probable that Emperor William would have preferred that Prince Alfred, the ouly son of the duke of Idinburgh, should have succeeded Duke Ernest. Indeed, it is be- lieved that his majesty hastened to the ducal castle of Reinhards Brunn as soon s possible after the death of the Duke Eruest with the hope that he might induce his uncle, the duke of dinburgh, to waive his claim to the suc- ceseion in favor of Prince Alfred. His majesty 1s reported to havo told the duke that under any circumstances a regency would be impossible and that he must take the throne himself or abandon all connection with the duchies. Finding the duke resolute in his determination to forego none of bis rights and also finding that his mother, Queen Victoria, was supporting him in his attitude, the emperor put on the best face possible and ncquiesced in the duke's suo- He attended the ceremony of ad- wministering the oath of allegiance to the German constitution, being unwilling to again excite criticism from the family of his mother, the Empress Freaerick.

The extremist press, radical and conserva- tive alike, are indulging in anglophobia criticism, They harp on the inexpediency of admitting a relative of a powerful foreign house into the secrets of the federation. An umportant exception to this attitude of the radicsl papers is Herr Richter's Freisioniga Zeltung, which says that the Coburger's stand is in no need of pity, beoause, instead of being succeeded by a youhg ofticer of the guards, Ernest 18 succeeded by & man of the world, matured politically. It adds that if Duke Alfred introduces English constitu- tionalities in lieu of a cabinet government, the people may thank their good fortune in having him for their ruler. The Gotha Taggesblatt, a moderate paper, embodies the opinion of a majority of duchies in welcoming the duke, for the reuson that he comes from a country where the rights and liberties of the peopie are universally respected. % Despite the absenes of popular opposition, however, 1t is impossible to deny that there is an unusual feeling and that everything may not pass off quictly and smoothly. The changes that will be made in the ducal winistry are likely to be the first proof of this, Wil Inherit Large Estates. Nothing 15 yet known as to the disposition of the late duke's property.
