STABLISHED JUN WAITING FOR THE BALLOT Bilver and Anti-Silver Men Anxiously Look Forward to Today's Vote, FATE OF THE REPEAL BILL IN THE BALANCE That It Wil Pass the House There s No Doubt—Nome of the Pecullar 1 hases of the Present Curs rency Agitation. Wasmsoros, Aug, 27.—The financial de- Bate is closed nnd the line of battle 1s now being sharply drawn for the decisive contest that will take place in the house of repro- sentatives tomorrow. The leaders of both sides havo exerted every cffort to have their men all here, and it is expected that the first rolleall will find almost every member of the house present and votmng. There is ap- parently no inclination on the part of any of the representatives to dodge the issue, and a8 most of them have had an opportunity to explain on the floor their reasons for amction, it is expected the record will show a full vote on every proposition. The result of the successive roll calls of tdmorrow is no Jonger & ma'ter of doubt to any one familiar with the situation. The free coinage bill to be offered by Mr. Bland as a substitute for the repealing bill of M. Wilson, will be de- feated. Tho exact vote is uncertain, as the fealty of cerlain members to the measure de- pends much on the ratio that receives the largest support in the house. It was the fmpression two weeks ago that the largest ratio to be voted upon—20to 1—would be the most popular, as the impression at that time was gencral that a revision of the ratio of coinage would be necessary if the frea coin- age men could hope for a victory in the light of the recent depression in sily Favor the O1a This impression received a check a week ago, however, in the xnnouncement of Jerry Simpson that the populist members would tolerate no departure from the existing ratio and would leave the free coinage men in event of a railure to adopt the old vatio of 16 to1. This announcement at_once had its effect on the sentiment that had been con- stantly growing up to that time, for immedi- ately & dozen or more of the' oldest free coinage men announced that they would sup- port no ratio but that of 16 to 1.~ Now there scems to be no doubt that instead of the highest ratio, 20 to 1, being the most popular, the old ratio 0f 16 to | will receive the greatest vote and be the oniy one seriously consid- ered. But. whatever may be the result of the vote on the separate ratios, the Bland bill will be refected as o substitute for the Wilson bill, and the majoity for rejection will not bo less than forty, After the rejec- .tion of the Bland bill and after the question hns resolved itself into the simplc one of the repenl of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man law. the Wilson bill will be passed by a majority of not less than sixty, These figures are conservative, and will be borne out by tomorrow's developments—if, indeed, the majority for the Wilson bill be not larger than the figures given. When It Gots to the Senate. TImmediately after the passage of the Wil- son bill it will be reported to the senate, und if the usual course is pursued will be referred 10 the committee on finance of that body. It is expected that the policy of the senate will be to let the bill slumber there, while all the efforts of the upper chamber are directed to securing the adoption of the repealing bill now pending in that body. ‘Tha reason for this ig.that the repealing bill reported by the senate committee on financo is believed to be superior to the house bill, b cause it contains the declaration orig- inated by Senator Hill, pledging the overnment to the policy of bimetallsm. jigh quite certain no bili will pass thesenate without a declaration endorsig the policy of bimetallism, und as no such declaration is explicitly made in the Wilson bill, the pro- gram will be to pass the senate bill and send it to the house for the concurrence of the latter body. Of course the effect of this will be to ive the whole question in the house, but fv is not thought any cousiderable time will be cousumed by the housein passing upon the question a’ second time, as most of the members have alveady had full oppor- tunity to be heard and will hav themselyes upou record by th the soveral distinet proposition Indulging wlaty Already considerable speculation is being indulged in as to the next step to be taken in financial legislation after the pussage of the bill repenling the Sherman law. ‘the com- mittee on coinage, under the leadership of Chuirmun Bland, will, itis expected, roport a free coinage bill in due time and Chairman Springe committee on bauking ana - rency is expected to present several reliof measures to the house. Congressman MeCreary of Kentuck, of the delegutes on the part of the ited States to the recent international monetary conference at Brussels, has prepared the following joint resolution for introduction in the house novt weelk liesolved, By the senate and house of repre- sentatives of the United States of America, in congress; assembled, that a commission 1s hereby nuthorized and constituted, to consist of three senators, 1o be uppointed by the prosi- dent of the senate; threo reprosentatives, (o be nppointed By tho speaker of the house of Tepresentatives, und theee oxports, to be se- lected by the president of the United Stutes, th authority to detormine the time and lnce of weeiing and to take evidence in Washin r 1o any other eity of the United the whole committon or before wnd 1o enquire and repor t- change which has taken place fu the rolutive value of gold und silver, und whether the chuugo Is due to tho depreciation of silver or %o the apprecfation of gold; cuuso of the change, whether permanent or tom por- ary; tho effect thereof upon finan: commerce, ngriculture.

Fourth-—The roport of the comuiission shall be presented not later than the lstday of Junuary, 1894, McCreary on His Resolution, “This resolution,” sald Mr. MeCreary to- night, “gives the commission authority to inquire into the whole financial question in its broadest phases—not us to bimetalism alone, but also as to the reorganization of our bankiog system. ‘I'he means of promot- hl‘ internutional bimetallism will also be a bject for the- commission to consider. here can be no doubt but that the pussage of the repeal bill witl help to of the way for international bimetallism on a fixed ratio among the great nations of the world, which is the best remedy of which' I have any knowledge for the monetary evils from which all nations are suffering, Great Britin, Germany and all the gold staudard countries would be de- lighted to see our country go to a silver basis, 80 they might add our gold to their stock. They are now watching with interest the cougress of the United States. There haye been three international wmonetary confer- ences held, two of them by request of this country and one by the request of the United Btates and France. The first was in 1578, the second in 1881 and the tast in 1802, The first assembled in 1878 and there were but twelve nations represented. When the sec- oud assembled, 1881, there were but thirceen Dations present. When the conference wus held last year tweuty uations were present, and all delegates were their seats very day the weeting was ed together. Whiat does that show? Itshows the deep interest ali Dations ure takiug in the question. It shows that juterest hus increased us lheib:lrl have Mdvauced.

Of course, in these days of public excite- ment over the finaucial question the crank is abroad in the land. Congressman Forman of Ilinois has received the following timely warning in_his mail and announces he is doing all in his power to obey the behests of the writer: WARHINGTON, Formun: T wish for your sake, and many of your constituents, that you ‘would try and ®ottle the silver question and _put zreenbacks and silver on a par with gold, or settlo the business as the ex-secretury sald, o you could put the #50,000,000 in_cireulation as ho said the secretary could do nccording to law. 1 hope there will not be any trouble, but T am afrafd thero will be If this husiness Is not set- tlod by Saturday night.

Tako warning in tme. Your friend, WELLWISHEIR. Tarilf Tinkering. The ways and means committee will meet Tuesday, when a courss of procedure will probably be decided on, including such matters as the appropriate date when a tariff bill shall be reported, whether the committee will give hearings to interested persons ot, and other details relating to the work witk which it is charged. Chair- man Wilson is reported to hayve prepared a bill covering the subject of tariff revision in u general way which he will submit to the committee. On the same day the committee on bank- ing and currency will meet with the expec- ition of concluding a report on the bill of homas M. Johnson, providing for the ex- change of national bonds for currency at the demand of the holder. The committee, it is believed, will favorably report the bill, with an ameudment inten led to protect the gold of the treasury from raids by those who re ceive currency for their bonds. It may also take up the question ot repealing the 10 per cent on the circulation of state banks. On this Chairman Springer is quoted ing: “I don’t think the committee report a bill in favor of a repealof the tax. don’t believe 1 going back to the days of tho old state bankiug system and of being compelied to have forty-four of currency in this country. the tax upon state banks and the 1 lishment of the old system would be_an ob- struction to business. Tam against it and T do not think such a bill can pass. I favor a state currency, good alike in all st: without question everywhe t to the people and printed upon such paper that counterfeits can be veadily de- tected. Any other currency is an obstruc- tion to business and I shall oppose it.” Lee Mantle’s Case, In the senate the week will probably begin with the Mantle case in the foreground. There is an intimation that there hus been a change in the views of some senators who against Mr. Mantle’s claims and some friends are confident the decision will . ., Aug. 26.—Congressman Senater Wolcott announced his intention of addvessing the senato Wednesday on the subject of silve The nutional bank currency bill is to be taken up and pushed us fast us possible, It may be a vote can be reached on the Cock- rell amendment relating to the deposit of bonds in the treasury early in the weck, but there still remains the formidable Butler amcndment repealing the state bank tax. If this threatens to take an undue time, it is probable the bill will be sidetracked in order 10 allow Mr. Voorhees to forward discussion and action upon the repeal bill. This result may be hustened if tho present plan_ of the silver men takes shapo, namely, to try and attach to the bank bill ‘an amcndment pro- viding for the free coinage of silyer, ADMISSION OF NEW MEXiCO, Delegate Joseph Will Make Strenuous Ef- forts to Accomplish that Eind. WasmiNaroN, Aag. 27.—Delezate Joseph of New Mexico is preparing to make an at- tempt to secure the ndmission of New Mex- 1c0 as a state this session, and as both houses of congress are democratic, he has sanguine boves of success, He has prepared a bill, which he will present during the course of the present week, or at the first opportunity. This bill provides an enabling act for the people of the territory of New Mexico, by the terms of which a const tional convention will be held in tho terri- tory and the constitution submitted to the people. All persons who have resided within the linits of the proposed state for sixty days, and are other- wise qualified by the liws of the territory to vote for the representatives to the legislutive assemblages thereof, ure authorized 1o vote for delegates to form the convention, An apportionment of delegates to the con- vention is madoe by the bill in strict accord- ance with the population of the territory as shown by the last census. The government is authorized to order the election on the first 'Tuesday after the first Monday in No- vember, 184. The number of delegates in the territory 1s to be se: ve. The con- stitutional convention wiil nssembl t the capitol on the first Monday of December, 1804, and when assembled it shall adovt the constitution of the United Stutes and pro- ceed to the formation of a state coustitution, ‘The bill especially provides that in all the public sehools the English lungunge shall be taught. ‘I'he constitution shull be submitted to the people for their ratification or re- Jecticn at an election to be held iu said ter- ritory on tho first Tuesday aftor the first Monday in April, 185, If a wmajority of the votes cast shall be for the constitution, the government of the territory shall celtify the result to the president of the United States, who stull then issue his proclama- tion announcing ttie result of the election and the state of New Mexico shall then be decmed admitted into the union. Propared to Meet Opposition, Delegate Josoph is fully prepared to mect the arguments urged against the admission of New Mexico on ount of the large pro- portion of Mexican speaking population. He says: “Can it be said o nativeof New Mexico who renouuced his allegiance to the ropublic of Mexico over Yorty years ago has less interest in the governmentof the United States, less devotion to republican priaci- ples or less fitness for American citizenship than a subject of an Buropean kingdom who nas within a few years lun’hh native homet ‘Seventeen years after the territory be- came a part of the United States, Now Mex- ico was called upon to furnish solaiers to de- fend the union. There was no hesitation in responding to the demand. New Mexico gave 8,000 soldiers to the union duriuz the ate war, being more than was furnished by all the other oxisting territories combined, including the present states of Nebraska, Nevada, Colorado, Washingten, the Da- kotas, Montana, Idaho and Wyomin, **Ihese troops were in greater part com- manded by persons of Spanish descent, und the ranks were filled by the same race, but although only seveuteen years citizens of the country, the people of the territory did not hesitate to devote themselves to the country as readily as if born under its flag, Numerous wealthy citi voluntarily loaned money to the government at the oui- break of the waron the request of military suthoritics when the country had no funds in the territory. More than thirty vears have passed since then, and yet it is said the people of New Mexico are alieus. Her Voulng Streugeh. pulation reported vy the cen. sus us 153,530 the popular vote for delegate was 33,855, o proportion of voters ravely ex- coeded, and the more remarkable because of the great distances and dificulties in reach- Ing the polls 10 a country not thickly sat- tled. The flag of this country is large enough to float alike over persons of Euglish and Spanish descent; the principles of the constitution are great enough to command the admiration of all lovers of liberty. I'he peoplo of New Mexico ave as much citizens of the United States as the people of Ohlo. Indiana or Ilinois. What they want s to be admitted to the full rights of citizensh'p and allowed to bear their share of the burdens of the common defense and goueral wellare. “‘Out of a CERTAIN 10 P/ Favorable Action in that Body on the Wilson Bill Now Assured, PROBABLE ACTION BY THE SENATORS Unconditional Repeal Will Not Be Accepted by Them Without a Fight ~The Op= portanity to Talk Will Not Be Overlooked, WasHINGTC 518 FOURTEENTH STREE WasniNGros, Aug. 27, It now scems certain that the nouse will pass the bill unconditionally repealing the silver purchasing law before it aajourns to- morrow, and that the senate would pass a like measure 1f a direct vote could be secured upon it. There are few in Washington tonight but who acknowledge defeat if the fricnds of unconditional repeal in the senate can gei a direct vote. It is now known to‘'a dead certainty” that if the proposition to vote for or against unconditional repeul, with nothing else in view \could come before the house it would have a decided majority. There are now four or five senators who have been classed all along as free coinage advocates who say they will support unconditional repeal if all other proposals are voted down; that rather than vote against it, when it stands alone, they will vote for it, They give uncon- ditional repeal a safe mujority. Senators Teller, Stewart, Vest, Cockrell, Butler, Morgan and other free coinage men ac- kuowledge that their only hope now lies in the rules, which make it possiole for them to defeat a vote. They mean to talk the bill th and weir out the repealists. as the clection bill of two years or more ago. A change of the rules s3 us to bring the silver vill to a vote scems impossi ble, as there is no process of ending a debate. upon a rule which would secure closure, even upon a single measure. The chances seem about even that a direct vote canuot be se- cu red upon unconditional repeal 1 the sen- ate, and two to one thata compromise will be effected whereby another silver law will take the place of the present one. Anxlous About the Tariff, There 1s one subject which overslaughs all others at the present time in commercial circles, It even ranks the financial problem before congress. {t is the tarif. Manu- facturers and busmoss men, as well as the farmers, are anxious to know what kind of bill the democratic congress and- atic administration will finally put into law and wh it will go into effect. Th is not a man in congress, be he high protectionist or a free trader, but that acknowledges frankly and openly the im- of informing the country asto kind of a tariff bill is to be adopted and when it will take effect. It i not so much the specific items which are to be affected by the new tariff bill as it is the time when thoso whoare to be affected must adjust themselves to the new conditions. Tue Bee correspondent spent the greater part of the past_week making inquiry of the leading partisuns in congress and trying to get the pusx;‘iun of the administration upon the tarif. ‘T'he first and most important fact ascer- tained in this research for information is that the tariff bill which will become a law some time next year will be very moderate in character. Chairman Voorhees of the senate committee on finance, Messrs. Gor- man, McPherson and other democratic lead- ers of the uppel ich of congress, as well man Wilson of the committee on nd means, Mr. Springer, its late Mr. MeMillin, Mr.” Bynum and s in the majority of the lower gress, all say that, owing to the construction of the democratic party in and the solid republican vhalanx radical tanff reform, it ysical impossibility to pass any biil which makes a serious cut into manu- that the measure must contine itself almost whnolly to enlarging the free list. Will Be Put on the Free List. The priucipal items which now pay duty and are to go upon the free list are wool, iron ore, coal, wood and salt. ‘There may be some reductions of duty upon the cheaper grades of woolen and hemp and linen fabrics. There will bea good many articles taken from the dutlable and transferred to the free list in the chemical schedule. So far as implements and tools of all kinds, manufa tured stecl and iron of the better grades, wares from metals and glass are concerned, the manufacturers and dealers in these articles can rest assured nothing will be doue to materially affect their busincss, unless it is to give them free raw materials to work upoa, Oue of the republican members of the sen- ate committee on finance, who had much to do with the preparation of the McKinley bill, assures your correspondent, after a full conference with the republican senators and those leaders upon the democratic side who will control the revision of the tariff bitl when it comes from the house, that, while they would if they could, the democrats can- not possibly pass any tavit bill which will depress the munufacturing interests of this country. He says thut if he were manufa turing any of the leading articles he would not, knowing what he does, hesitate moment to push his business right ahead on its present lines, 4s it cannot be fnjured by the new Lariff law, Another prominent re- publican mewber of the senate committee on finance says thathe is answering all lettersof inquiry from manufacturcrs by saying there necd be no alarming appreliension as to the outcome of democratic work at tariff re- vision, as vi malicious or general destructive legislation cannot get through the senate. He says thatif the democrats had & majority of ten or twelve in the sen- ate, instead of only four or five as ncw, they would pass a bill framed on free trude lines, providing for just enough revenue to mect government expenses, and if they could in advance adopt an income tax we would have almost absolute free trade; but every repub- lican in the senate will stand solidly against democratic tariff revision, and under the present vules of the senate the large body of republicans can out-talk and filibuster to death almost any feature of a bill, Control the Situation, Besides this there are four or five senators on the democratic side whose political fu- ture would be ruined if they did not secure ction for certain industries in their These stutes are overwhelmingly locratic, and the products which the democrats are determived to protect ure produced in 1o republican state, so that the denjocratic senators divectly interested are of necessity forced to go to the republican side and treat for peace and co-operstion This condition of circumstances places the republican minority in the senate in prac- 1 control of the situatios It is not to be supposed that they will recede in any direc- tion 80 as to give the democrats opportunity to carry out their pledges made n party platforms, Itis generally conceded that the new tariff law will not o into effect before July, 1895, or October of that year. There are many prominent democrats who advocate a date, when the new tariff law shall take effect, not earlier than Jauuary 1, 1596, Westera Peusio The following pensions granted are re- ported : Nebraska—Increase: James P.

Paxama, Colombia (via Galveston, Tex.), Aug. 27.—<[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Spe: to Tue Bre]—El Espanol, a Panama newspaper, says there will be a new revolution in Nica- ragua within a fortnight. Its state- ment is based upon the assertions of General Leomdas Plazas, who is now in Costa Rica, where he was inter- viewed oy the correspondent of Il Espanol in Punta Arcnas. General Plazas told the correspondent that the Nicaraguan con- servatives would iuvite General Sacaza to return and aid in the over- throw of Zelaya by starting another revolution before tho meeting of the constituent assembly on September 15, Elections for choosing members of that body were held in Nicaragua today. An invita- tion by the members of the conservative party to General Sacaza to return and lead them in a revelution would be regarded as a remark- able performance. It was against Sa oppressions that they started the first revo- tion of the year and joined with the pro- gressists in securing his overthrow. Mach- ado was installed as temporary president when Sacaza was forced to resign and Gen- eral Zavala took his place, when he was made a prisoner by the people of Leon who sturted the last revolt.

Zelaya demanded an important share of the patronage as the price of his continued support of Machado’s government. This was not given to him,und when the Leons started their revolt by imprisoning Machado, Zelaya took his followers over in a body, placed himself at the head of the new revolutionists, and now deals out the patronage, for only a portion of which ho asked a few months ago. It would be u re- markable performance indeed if his old al- lies,.the conservatives, should invite their old enemy, Gene . to return and lead a movement for the overthrow of their old enemy, Zelaya, there is a fair chance that prices will advance. —— SHUOTING AT WEIR CITY, Cdhl Miners’ Troubles Still Show a Very Serious Aspect. Wik Crry, Kan., Aug.27.—Late yesterday afternoon several of the Central Coal und Coke company's negroes came to town to transact some business at thecompany store. Immediately a crowd of sixty or seventy strikers gathered with guns on Main street, near Smith’s livery stable, waiting for the negroes to come out of the store, intending w attack them. A Frenchman in the crowd accidentally discharged his gun. Feur men were wounded by the scattering shot. R. C.
