o == PART" ONE. E THOSE AWFUL RULES Their Consideration by the House Reveal- ing Party Recrets, HOT DIALOGUES BETWEEN DEMOCRATS Mystery of MoMillin's Removal from the Rules Oommittee Explained. HE OPPOSED SPEAKER CKISP'S PLANS Tt ie a Fine Family Row, with the Republi- cans as Delighted 8pectators, SOME VERY INTERESTING COLLOQUIES Mr; Catohings of Mississippl Inaugurates the Fun—Mr. McMillin Retarns a Vigorous Answer—Mr, Tarner of Georgla Grows Interesting. ‘Wasmivarow, Sept. 2.—The debate over the house rules is developing cousiderable fecling bevween the Crisp leaders and some of the gentlemen who constituted the fa tion of hisown party opposed to the speaker’s administration in the last house. This 1s made apparent by the vigorous manner in which they are fighting some of the pro- posed changes i the rules proposed in the interest of expediting business and prevent- ing obstructive tactics, McMillin, who is leading the democratic opposition to theso changes, is being avly supported by General Hooker of Alabama, Mr. Turnerof Georgiaand quite a number of members of the democratic congress who opposo the adoption of any of the expedients of the Reed congress, Plans of tho Repablicans, The republicans, led by ex-Speaker Reed, whose burly form is always in the house landscape, are using all their ingenuity to dzve the wedge in between the aemocratic fagtions. Mr. Turner of Georgia in an impassioned speschi toaay rebuked his democratic col- leagues who were secking to reduce the size of the quorum of the cummittee of the whole fn accordance with the examplo of the Reed congress, and warped them that if they submitted now to be manacled voluntarily they could never in the future successfully or consistently fight against the irons. During the progress of the discussion on ihe amendment to reduce the sizeof the quorum an interchange of personslities be. tween General Catchings and Mr. McMillin aitracted the attention of the house and gave an indication that Mr. McMillin was left off of the committee on rules in the present house because he had been out of harmony with Spoeaker Crisp in the lusy congress. Resumed the Debate, Debate on the new rules was resumed by Mr. Tracey of New York offering an amend- ment striking out the clause in rule 21, per- mittiog amendments to general appropric tion bills when those amendments are in the interest of rotrenchment of expenditures. In supporting this amenament Mr. Tracey called attention to the endless unnoyance caused by members during the consideration of appropriation bills by the presentation of amendments under the shadow of this clause. He also pointed to the manner in which the salaries of assistant secretari had been reduced by the last congress. In answer to this statement Mr. Dockery declared that the salaries of these officials had only been reduced to the point fixed by law. Mr. McMillin spoke vigorously in opposi- tion to this proposed chunge. He drew at tention to the critical condition in which the finances of the country were now in volved. This clause of the rule permitted the only opening for a reduction in the re ular expenses of the government. In the past, when the polls of the sbuth were crowded with troops, it was through this salutary rule that democratic congress had been enabled to restrain this abuse of federal power. With the treasury in the worst condition it had been for years, to vreak down this rule at the outset of the ad- ministration would be to advertise this con- gress as false at the very outset to the ledges it had made to the peovle. Mr. Simpson of Kansas, Mr. Holman of In- diana and Mr. Stone of Pennsylvania op posed the amendment. Mude Humorous Romarks. Mr. Cannon of Illinois made the humorous suggestion that it did not make any differ- enco whether the clause was in or out of the rules, as it was only meant to fool the public. ©When you were in power before,” said Mr, Caunon, with a wave of his arms in the di rection of the democratic side, “you did not reduce saluries or expenditures. We had the senate then, but it did not interfere with you. It, however, furnished you the excuse you wanted. Now that you have the whole shooting match the public will have an opportumty to Judge you by your actions, not by your words and professions.” {Laugh ter. | Mr, Tracey then withdrew s the amend- ment Mr, Kyle of Mississippi offered an amena- ment increasing the number of members constituting a quorum of the committee of the whole house to s majority of the mem- pers of the house. Under the rule brought in by the committee on rules 100 members are made a quorum in a committee of the whole. Mr. Kyle declared that this was not the time for such a radical change. Eve < bill raising revenue aud making appropris- tioas must be considered in the committee of the whole, and it was now proposed to re duce & quorum 1n this committes from u jority to 100 members. He declared it agaiust public policy and against public sentiment, and placed it practically in the power of 100 members to transact the most fmportant busiuess of the house. M. Outhwalte's Explanation, Mr. Outhwaite of the committee on rules, iu explanation of the reasons for bringing in this rule, coniended thatif wembers wore interested in legislation they sbould be here whether the number constitut ing a quorum was 100 or 165. During the consideration of apppropriation bills ab- sentecism is usually great, und the business of the house is obstructed for hours, some times days. Mr. Dearmond of Missourl supported the amendment, and in doing so called utten- $ion to the fact that Mr. Outhwaite in the Heed congress opposed Just such au awend.- Juent. Mr. Outhiaite iu reply stated that he was four years old, in legislative expericace than when he made that speech. [Laughter.] Continuing, Mr. Dearmond said that the objections udduced four years were as 800U BOW us thoy were then. The entirn w STABLISHED JUNE ! ] 19, 187L democratic side had fought the praposition, s ho demonstrated by reference to the vote in the Record Mr. Reed asked sarcastically, amid laugh rer, 1f Mr. Deatmond would not read some of the salient points, some chioice extracts from the speeches of the democratic leaders on that oceasion The lutter's time expired ana Mr. Breckin- ridge of Kentucky took the floor in support of the amendment. He stood in one of the side aisles and spoke with warmth and evident feeling. e declaced that he opposed the change now for the same reason he had done 80 in the Reed congress, and, after having had his remarks read on that occasion, he pointed out that it was always in the committee of the whole that the govornment put its hand in the pocket of the taxpayer. Every safeguard should bo thrown around this committce, While the final uction on rovenue bills was taken 1nto the open house, the legislation was shaped in committee. It was in the interest of economy, as well as the highest duty to the public, to oppose every effort to reduce the number of members constituting a quorum of this committoe. started a Lively Argament, Mr. Catchings, the floor leader, asked to have this important rule passed temporarily until a larger attendance of the, house could be obtained, but General Hooker objected, and he proceeded to uphold the change, He was surprised, he said, to see such a dis- tinguished lawyer as Mr. Breckiuridge huve his speech of four years ago read in sup- port of his present position. The committee of the whole had no place in the constitu- tion; it was designed toaid the house, Noth- ing that passes the committee of the whole is legislation; it has no more binding effect than the action of any other committee. The committee of the whole is a mere matter of convenience and the suggedted change in the size of its quorum is to make it less cumber- some. The question of how democrats voted four years ago on this proposition ought not to frighten any person, as at that time the democrats were in the midst of a fierce and heated strugglo against the unprecedented Reed rules and were fighting them inch by inch, At this point a hot colloquy took place be- tween General Catchings and McMillin, both of whom were associated on the rules com- mittee of the last congress, which threw a side light on the reasons why the latter failed to secure his old place under the pres- ent reorganization. Mr. McMillin asked his old colleague rather pointedly why, if tho proposed change in the size of the quorum in the committee of the whole was alvisable now, it had not been made in the last con gress. Catchings’ Pointed Rejoin “The gentleman from Tennessee,” replied General Catehings, turning squarely upon Mr. McMillin, “is the lust man in the house who should ask such a question. He knows that quite a number of changes desired by the speaker and myself failed because of his opposition.” ‘Do you mean to say,” shouted Mr. Mc- Millin, grandly, w.ovingforward, “that I was responsible for the failuro to adopt this change? Iam mot to be held resvonsible for what you and the speaker desired to do?” “idon’t hold you responsible; but I say it was your opposition that prevented the sdeption of several ruies decined advisable by us.” As Mr. McMillin sat’ down the house evi- dently believed that it had been unex- pectedly and, at least, partially let into the secret of dropping Mr. McMillin from the rules committee. Turner's Impetyous Talk. Mr. Turner of Georgia made a strong and very impetuous speech against the proposed change. He declared that the idea for which the committee of the whole had been provided, was to give the house a fuller and betwer opportunity for the discussion of revenue and appropriation bills. If this change were adopted it- would make the committee a machino for the expedition of business, not its consideration and, in effect, prostitute the design of its fathers. “It is a mistake,” contnued Mr. Turner, “to suppose that the committee of the whole is a separate entity, as Genmoral Catchings suggested. The committee cannot adjourn without recalling the speaker. It is, in fact, the house. [f you reduce the size of the quorum, what is to becomo of the grent parlismentary principle requiring a majority to do business! What chaoge has come over this part of the house! Why are we who denounce the speaker of the Fifty- first congress now 8o ready to unite with him? They (the republicaus) are falling over each other in their rush to bo fottered. They are holding up their hands and feot, begging to be bound hand and foot by the majority. The ex-speaker relishes iceenly the vindication some of us aro trying to give him, This attitude is contrary to consistence. Perhaps our old adversaries are thinking of the future. How could we Ight against manacles i the Fifty-fourth congress, perhaps, if in the Fifty-third we voluntarily put ourselves in irons. The next stop after this ought to come in the shape of a proposition to count a quorum. After further debate, partivipated in by Curtis of New York, Hooker of Mississippi, Kilgore of Texas and MeMillin of Tenaessee, the house suspended the consideration of the rules to pass the amendments o the urgency deficicney bill. Thercupon, without action on the amendment,the house adjourned until next Wednesday. BENATE. IN TiE Chinese Exclusion and the Repeal Bill Subjects of Yestorday's Debate, WasHINGToN, Sept, 2.—The free silver men in the senate have decided uot to allow avote ousilver repeal as long as they can possibly prevent it. Mr. Vance in his speech yesterday indicated the line of policy to be pursued when he advised the silver men to hold out a little longer, as improvement in the business of the country was already pavent. ‘They belieye that if they can staye off the vote loug enough the conditions will be sufticiently improved to weaken the de- wmands of the people for action aud enuble them to force a compromise of some sort.

New Yonk, Sept. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tuk Bee. |—The weekly statement of New Yorw's associated banks given out today makes o showing which Wall streot gener- ally construes as favorable. The surplus ro- serve increased $5,170,000 and the other items of especial interest were changed s follows: Loans decreased $3,438,000; specie increased nearly 84,000,000 and legal tenders increased something like 2,100,000, and there is an increase in circulation of §1,11,- 000. Devosits have mcreased over 3,500,000, Much of the gold which arrived last week figures in this week's statement, and the increase 1n pank note circulation is alsoa factorin the statement. More than this, there is an increased flow of funds from the country this way. Everything points to the accumulation of money in abundance here, 1f the course of the stock market de- pended merely upon the prospective gain i funds there would be only cheerfuluess in the situation, The vote in the house of representatives was 80 much more pronounced than had been expected that Wall strect got up a good deal of enthusiasm on the bull side of the stock market. It was taken for granted that what the house had done the senate would do, and the result has been a hurrah in the stock market during most of the weck. Wall street is a protty cold-blooded piace ordinarily, but fonally its senti- mentalism gets be, anything known elsewhere, Thus it has been that the silver repeal vote in the house has been followed by rapturous expressions and_boom action. Durig the most of this week it has looked as if Wall street had come to the conclusion that the vote settled everything. Not only was free ilver scheming ended and honest money es- ablished for good and all, but that every one of the troubles in the financial situation had been wiped out. Important Interests Ignored. Ex-Speaker Reed’s warning that the mil- lennium would not be quite here even with the silver bill repealed and Senator Sher- man’s later suggestion that there are other things than silver legislation in the way of national prosperity were mov given much immediate avtention, But as the week closes the calm facts recited by these two statesmen are beginning to get a more attentive consideration. There are many things remaining, even taking it for granted that the senate shall pass the repeal bill promptly, and that President Cleveland shall sign it, which do not betoiken entive re Juvenation of everything. This is especially true as to Wall street, It is, aud for months has been, a favorite statement in the Stock exchange district that while the restof the country may not stand further trouble, Waull sireet has had its punishment and is through. Probably it will be found that oly the opposite is true. Wall t has had & good desl of punishment but that Wall street is through is probably far from the fact. The rest of the country 1s in a good deal better shape than Wail streot, as Wall street, unfortunately, is discredited. Trade is restricted every- where, and manul ers, 30 far as me the financial situation is concerncd, have been accommodating themselves to condi- tions. Merchants have beer. conservative beyond anything known hitherto, and cer- tainly the farming communities of the coun- try have not been able to get into ways of extravagance. Discouraging Fentures, Two or three discouraging things are ahead for interests outside of Wall street, however. One is the probubility that real estate, just now higher on an average than it hus been in tweniy years, will have to go through liquidation, Another is thut labor is sure to be cailed upon to bear the brunt of business contraction. Nearly every one of the big corporations of the country is feeiing obliged to svale down lubor accounts. Some mun- agers are anxious to avoid wage reductions, and are cutting down the number of em- ployes; but most universally the rule going into effect of retrenchment in the of lubor expendivure, This Is the mos fortunate foature of the whole situation. Munufacturers have for their chief worry now the uncertainty as to tariff legislation, way un- About the only thing that can be de pended upon s that the majority in cougress is intent upon beginning tarift tinkering right away The house, haviag followed Mr. Cleveland's instructions on sil ver legislation, now energetically at work in the preliminary stage ot tackling turiff reductions. It is the belief in conservu- tive circles that not much will plished by the tinkerers, that will be pretty much left as it is, be accom the tarif Question of Revenue Important. In the first place, it is contended that tha country is 80 sorely in need of revenue that however much the majority in congress may desire to smash import dutics, they must be restraiued by the national treasury's re quirements, and tariff for reveuue, for actusl revenue, must needs be rather in creased thun diminished. None the less there is much uncertainvy s to what will be done, and uncertainty is worse thun any- thin If congress would oaly close up’ its silver 1s repeal business and go home, us Senator Hill of New York seusibly udvised, the country would be a good deal beuter off. So loug, however, us it continucs in scssion, making wouths at the tarif ang threatening to do this, that and the other thing, we cun hardly expect manufacturers to business and push forward with wmuch e nestucss. Congressional gabble means busi- uess uervousness aud business contraction, lualways bas and always will. In Wall resume MORNING, ¢ SEPTEMBER s 93—-SIXTEEN PAGES, stroet these things canngt fail to be re- flected, Wall street likes to call i8solf the bar- ometer of the countey. Theve is some apt- ness in the figure. 1t Is soldom, however, a barometer which can be depended upon as anything like a faithful register. It always exaggerates. The_ times for panics and sharp and startlisg breaks in prices ha doubtless m—, by, 80 far as o brought about by ve such breaks have outside conditions, bt untess all signs fail n period of stagnation! is ahead on the Stock exchange, Tnstead of booms we are likely to have the reverso, instead of buoyancy wo will have quotations lagging, brokers on vacation and speculation at a standstill. Good Oppertanities for Investment, For the investor, however, such conditions arenot an unmixed evil. Wall street isa national wain counter. Seventy-fivo per cent of the securities dealt in there aro sell- ing below their intrinsio values—selling far below where they ought to be quoted. Opportunities for investment were never so abundartas they arenow, provided the in- vestor is not in the trade on a slight margin and provided, moreover, that he is able to be patient, Some of the dovelovments of the week have been discourazing. Disclosures as to Brooklyn bank where the false bookkeoping methods have been practiced were some- thing of a sensation, and the failureofa big local mortgage company trading in westorn notes and supposed to be rich, have been dis- turbing mfluences. t The Whisky trust crowd have stirred up Wall street anew. After listing quotations day by day the agents of the insiders got on and smashed ‘prices down again. One day this trust is about to resumo divi- dends; the mnext day a reccivership is being prepared. People who believe in- Whisky trus stock must be pre- pared for continual liveliness. One of these days the stock will prohably sell much higher than its present figures, butitis an open secret that the company'’s managers aro con- fident that congress will be induced to put an extra tax upon spirits and so add enor- mously to the value of the heavy stock which the trust has on hand, Market Artificially Supportod. New York Central is showing much streugth, and is in a fashion which suggests that the millious of stock, which share- holders some time ago refused to take, 1s now being peddloa out in a market artifi- cially supported for the pdrpose. London money lenders are supposed to have closed some profitable deals with American corporations _this week. Wall street talk has it that the St. Paul company has spaid foreigners as high as 9 per cent for accommodation to the extent of £1,000,000 to $5000,000. Tennessee Coal & Iron has just borrowed $200.000, for which it pays 10 per cent. 1t is evident that the belief in the near approach of an easy time money iearket is not shared by the managers of all pur corporations. Otherwise they would not be paying abuor- mal rates for accommodation just now. But the speculative end of Wall street is mean- while rushing ahead &t double quick. Nearly every stock which Hhs been in uny way active this week'is tip several points. There was o pronotneed boom when the bunk statement came ont today. Most of the manipulative tuilut is ranged on tho bull side for the pressmv. It is not by any means certain, hoWever, how far this sport can be carried.’” Normally it ought to be pretty close to its end now, but it does not do to forget the fact that Wall strcet sentiment goes at a great, gallop when once it is aroused, and there can be no denying the fact that just now this sentiment is byll- ish, and that in no hésitating siyle.

BERLIN, Sept. 2—Emperor William left Coblenz for Trier at 6:30 o'clock this morn- ing, accompanied by his suite and the prince of Naples. The empress followed on a later train, Tho municipal authoritics at Trier made the most of the imperial reception. After driving through the main streets and re- cewving an almost continuous ovation the emperor proceeded to Euren, where he re- viewed the First artillery corps. At 2:05 the party returned to Coblenz. At 0: there was a grand banquet at the castle. At 9 o'clock a grand tattoo was given in the castle, This was the end of the emperor's duty for the day.

Tomorrow the emperor will start for Metz, where preparations have been completed to make his entry a veritable march ,of tri- umph. This demonstration has considera- vle siguificance. It is not a mere coincidenco thut the German emperor and the Italian prince appear in Metz on the eve of the an- niversary of Sedan Everything denotes that the chiefs of the vI'riple Alliance mean now to give France warning that she must curb the Chauvinism of her people. At no previous muneuvers has such a crowd of distinguished men, all interested for the preservation of German unity, been grouped around the emperor.

At 3:30 o'clock the imperial party will leave for Urville, the emperor’s new country house. Francis Joseph Will Take Chances. Emperor Francis Joseph left Tschel this morning to attend the maneuvers in Gali- cia. It wasdecided early in the week that ne should not leave Ischel until he should look at the Hungarian maneuvers, which will begin September 9. The press has raised such o clamor, however, about the ¢ posure of troops in Galicia to cholera and has reproached the government so bitterly for assembling so large a force from the in- fected districts that the emperor felt he must show his willingness to brave all perils to which he subjected his army. The district in which the oerations will bo carried out is swampy, rife with typhoid fever and dyssentery and is bordered with what is known as “‘cholera spots.” Direct- ing Surgeon Keowalski, of thg Vienua hos- pital, and the Vienna Board of Health, warned the government that militavy opera- tivas in such a region must tend to spreaa te cholera. The only concession of the war ofiice, however, was 0 agree not to call out the reserves from places known to be infectea, Rumors have roached Berlin that cholern has alveady appeared among tine troops marching to the field to maneuver, Not Frightened by the Cholera, The cholera has failed to here as the people have perfect confidenco in the city's good sunitary condivion as a protection against any great increaso of the epidemic.

Sept. 2.—[By Mexican Cablo to the New York Herald—Special to Tuz Bre.—A dispatch from the Herald's correspondent in Montevideo says vigorous meusures are being taken by tho Uruguayan government to prevent the outrages upon Uruguayan zens along the frontier by the Castil- histas who cross the boundary line from Rio Grande do Sul, ostensibly in pursuit of Braziiian rovolutionists. It is now positively kuown that Lieutenant Carbosa of the Unuguayan army was mur- dered in the Oriental territory by the Castilhistas. His boay was taken into Ri Grande do Sul, inorder to make it appear that Carbosa had been killed while untaw- fully upon Brazilian soil. These events haye argused the greatest indignation among Uruguayans, whose demands that steps be taken to prevent the outrages cannot longer be ignored or evaded by the government.

Paus, Sept. 8.—[New York Herald Cable “Special to Tue Bre. |—Somoething is tak- ing place in Europe, but it is 1mpossible to say what it is, becauso as yet only the out- ward signs are visible. To kunow exactly what is going on 1t would be necessary to know the thoughts of the three personages who ave the masters of the European situ- ation. These three personages are the czar, the kaiser and King Humbert of Ttaly, What is visible is, in the first place, the speech marked with displeasure and bad temper delivered by the czur on the occasion of the inauguration of tho port of Libau, in which Alexander 111 declared that the Baltic ought to be, m spite of all opposition, a Russian lake. The second sign of the times is the hold- ing of the German army maneuvers on the French frontier and the entrance of William 1L into Motz on the anniversary of the capitulation of Sedan, accompanied by the crown prince of Italy. Thirdly, we have the significant fact that the Ttalian military maneuvers are also to be held on the 1 n side of the French fron- tier, and that the hatred of Italians acainst the Fronch is constantly on the increase. oWl from the Liou, Besides all these outward and visible signs, we have the fact that England is again protesting, and more loudly than ever, against the policy of France in Siam, and seems now inclined to vefuse what she was only a short time ago ready to accept. A diplomatist said to me only yesterday: *It looks as if lurope was holding a dress rehearsal of what she would be able to do against France in the event of war.” This sums up in a fow words what is present in the thoughts of everybody. The part played by Italy causes much anxiety during the disordeérs following the Aigues- Mortes troubles. Immediately afterward the Ttalian government asked for the advice of Germany, Austrian and England, all of which governments advised moderation and calmness, It, however, seems fncredivle to everybody that such a petty riot, without any real importunce, and oceurring at such an insignificant place, should have been made use of to bring on & war, Personally, King Humbert is very hostile to France, and itis in accordance with his wish, and in svite of the advice of his ministers, that the Ttalian erown prince goos to Metz to witness the German army mancuvers, a fact which is causing no little vexation in France. For my part 1 do not believe that war will break out in the near future, but I canuot but admit that the events of the last few weeks have diminished the chances of peace. Byo-Electlon Troubles.
