Instead of the excitement which pre- vailed on-the floor and the intcnse interest manifested in the galleries there was barely adozen senators present and the galleries were practically deserted. The only bill of public importance introduced today was one by Mr. Morgan, democrat, of Alabama, to repeal sections 1 and 2 of the act of June 9, 187, concerning the exchange of coins for lawful money. ‘Lhe purpose of the bill is to Xkeep silver in circulation and prevent its re- turn to the treasury vaults. M. Teller, who this afternoon yielded to a motion to proceed to executive business, will be entitled to the floor on Monday. When the senate met Mr. Shoup (by re- quest) introduced a bill to authorize the con- struction of an eclectric road through the Yellowstone National park. The following changes in committees were announced: Mr. Cary, repiblican, of Wyo- ming, relieved fron the committee on Indian depredations, and Mr. Proctor, republican, of Vermont, from the committee on Potomac river frout. M. Perkins, republican, of California, was assigned to the committees on civil service and retrenchment, education and labor, fisheries, naval affairs, Indian depredations, and Potomac river front. Mr. Quay, republican, of Pennsylvania, was assigned to the committeo on pensions, and Mr. Cary of Wyoming to tho commit- 20 on public buildings and grounds. Fefter's K ton, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Pefrer, populist of Kansas, calling for infor- mation whether national banks il New York, Boston and Philadelphia had observed the law in respect to the maintenauce of theirreservos, and whether such banks had paid their checks in curréncy wus laid be- fore the senats, and Mr, Peffer spoke in its advocacy after Mr. McPherson, democrat of New Jorsey, had ‘moved its reference to the finance committee. Mr. Peffer said he desired the information in_the public intevcst. Tte national banks had been the pets of the coun- try since 1873. They had contracted the currency at will and had defied the law in the matter of their reserve. The business of the whole country was at-their mercy. It was high time the people understood all about these matters. The small banks in the south and the west were not responsi- ble, said Mr. Peffer, for the condition of tho banking system, but the banks of Boston, New York and Philadelphia were. But lit. tle attention was bewng paid to the populist senator and he observed it. Did Not Want to Be Offensive. olu 4T don't like to be offensive, but I would like to have a little better order,” said he. Senators refrained from conversation for & moment and then the huzz of talk and the reading of correspondence was resumed. Mr. Peffer said the banks had been per- mitted by the executive ofticers of the government to openly violate the law. In a currency famine they were permitted to issue clearing house certificates in violation of law. It was the growing power of the banks which was alarming the peovle, He wanted the subject aired. He and his people were opposed to the further extension of the privileges of the national bauks, Mur. McPherson, democrat, of New Jersey, renewed his motion to refer the resolution 1o the finance committee, Mr. Voorhees, democrat, of Indiana, said that if the resolution was referred to the finance committee proper attention would be paid to it. I'he hour of 2 o'clock having arrtved, the chair laid before the senate the repeal bill and Mr, Peffer's resolution went over until Monday. Mr. Toller Renogniz:d. Mr. Teller, republican, of Colorado was recoguized as eutitled to the floor, but b fore he began his remarks Mr. Stewart, publican, of Nevada called attention to the absence of a quorum. The roll was called and sufticient senators responding Mr. Teller proceoded to nudress the sonate. He began his speech by reference to the “lectures” he Wwas recelving from the newspaper press, and the senate was orderod, said he, as if they had masters, to proceed without delib- e.ation, contrary to the traditions of tho ate, conlrary to the principles laid down 11 the constitution, to do thut which, in the judgment, it not of a majority, of a respecta- ble minority, will be disastrous, More than that, it hud been said that thoss who repro- sented states fortunate enough to ba rich in mineral wealth were pressing their privato futerests and, therefore, had no rignt to vote upon the question. Yet he could recol- lect no lustance of any senutor ropresenting & munufacturing state rising in his place and stating that he coull not vote on a question affecting the tariff bocause his peo- ple were directly interosted in manufactur- ing. He personully had uo interest in any silver mining property and he should not ve deterred from doing his duty as he saw it by any newspaper attacks or by auy appeals of chambers of commerce, The meeting of 500 or 600 vepresentatives of beards of trade iu this city on the 12th wst. would be power- less to uffect his vote, Editorial Crit elsm. Ho then referged to an editorial in the New York World addressed to himself, calling at- tentlon to the small number of posple rep re- sented by him. He supposed that question ‘had been sottled by the fathers of the re- Ppublic; that the constitution provided that litsle states like Delawure, with 150,000 pop- ulation; Verwout. with less than half the popylution of his state, should have cqual wepresentation In the seuate with - their larger sister states. 1t secmed to him the United States was colering upon & new con- dition of things. Were those people in their hot haste for legislation which was in their intercst prepared to tear down and destroy the constitution? Who doubted it? He rep- resented n state of which he was proud, with more population than twelve other states. He denied emphatically that there was an attempt on the part of the reprosen- tatives of the silver states to have the gov- ernment purchase the output of the mines. He also denied most positively that the pub- liz had expressed their opinion upon the subjoct and in favor of repeal. The great metropolitan papers had spoken; the in- dustrial classes had not. They were not in favor of repeal. The industrial interests had been throttled from an expression of opinion by the threat, that money necessary to carry on businoss would he withheld; that the throat had been made with an effrontry that would shame the devil. Asto what had induced the house to vote for vhe ill, which the artizles said wero public opinion, the courtesies due to the other body would prevent his stating his opinion of what mfluenced the vote. He would leave that to some other place. where he wold not be trammelled by the rules of the senate, Not in the Administration’s Confidence. Ho was not, sald Mr. Tellor with sarcasm, in the confidence of the administration. He would read an article, however, from the New York Herald, which, he had been told, was the closest to the executive. He then read from an issue of that paper of August 9, which said that the repeal senators would not yield an nch on the question of com- promise, except it be a mere sugar coating, and that, said the Colorado senator, “we got in the act of the committee, He then read from the New York Daily American of today, that late last night President Cleveland sent his ultimatum, “‘Exactly how and by whom and the exact terms,” said Mr. Teller, sarcastically, *will be rovealed to us in due time.” The article went on to say that Senator Vest, democrat, of Missouri, was the bitterest man toward the wdministration that could be found in the country. Mr. Teller suid he would vield to that senator for any statement he desired to make. [Laughter. ] Mr. Vest said that if any ultimatum had come from the president it was unknown to him and he undertook to say to any of his associates, however much they might differ with the president, none of theém had ever come to jthe degrading conclusion that ho would send an ultimatum to any senator upon a subject requiring senatorial action. As to what was stated in the article about his bitterness, Mr. Vest characterized it as unconditionally falso and product of news- paper imagination, Teller's Opinion of Newspapers, M. ‘Teller said the senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) could not change his opinion as to the mendacity of the public press of the country. The publication of a newspapor was conducted like the runuing of a great manufacturing establishment—it was® run for money. He did not mean to say that they were always bought, or even some- times bougnt, but they did not represent the public. It was a guestion of influcnce with them, The newspaper statements that people de- manded the repeal of the Sherman act, were as relinble as the statements which the senator from Missouri had denounced as un- conditionally false. To *show how menda- cious thoy were, Mr. Teller said he had seen published what purported. to be a telegram from the executive to a member of congress, congratulating him and his associates upon the passage of the repeal bill through the house. Would anybody tell him that the president of the United States had been guilty of that gross breach of public decency? It was o yarn, a newspaper yarn, a news- aper falsehood. The president of the United States attempting to procure legi tion, having procured it through one house from his summer retreat at Buzzard' Wilson, chaivmun of the committee on ways und means, and his associates—incompre- hensible, impossible.” Cuused thé Silver Men to § le. “If anybody among the administration members of my own party thinks he wants to defend the press on this particular point I will give way that he may make the de- fense,” said Mr. Teller, and he paused, while a smile lit up the faces of the silv Mr. Teller said he repeated the challenge madein o recent speech for anybody to show that the Sherman law was responsible in any degree for the present financial con- dition, or the conditions which existed when congress assembled. Tho act, said the senfor senator from Colorado, had been made the scapegoat. No senator had de clared that in his judgment the present de- plorable condition was caused by tho Sherman act. 1t was pusillanimous 1o yicld to public clamor, gotten up by interested parties, and repeal an act that senators ad- witted had nothing o do with bringing about the condition, and whose repeal could not vemove the cause, except as the giving r men. of a bread pill to a patient might make him '} think he was getting woll. A bread puil eiven toa sick man could not possibly im- prove his condition, There was a cause for the difficulty, de- clared M, Teller, It was the course of wis- dom for senators to address themselyes to the cause and not be carried off their feet by public clamor, by newspapers, by gibes and threats, and be compelled to do that which they knew would not briug the people that which they deserved and which they desired. Found a Quorum FPresent, It was now within ten minutes of 3 o'clock, and although apparently & quorum was present, Me. Pugh, democrat, of Ala- bama, seemed to think otherwise and a call of the senate was ordered. Just 8 quorum, forty-three senators, respondcd, Mr. Teller then resumed his speech. To shiow the fallacy of the opinion that the Sherman act was responsible for the dis- tress, he cited trade geports to the effect that the year 184 one of the most pros- perous in the history of the nation. The Shorman act had then been on the statute book two years, The prospority of the country during 1800, 1501 and 1502, and, until a very recent time, wus an absolute retuta- tion of the charge that the act hud brought ruiu to business enterprise in this country, The present dis ress was 1ot confined to the United States, It had been felt in Great Britain, Germany and other coubtrics. Mr. Voorhees, democrat, of Indiana, said M.

New Yonxk, Sept. 9.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber. | —There have been some material changes during the last week in conditions affecting the stock market. Most of these changes have been encouraging. Others have been different. Meanwhile the market has had a boom almost uninterrupted. As foreshadowed in Tur Ber's dispasches, sentiment has developed quickly in favor of bullishness. Nearly everybody in Wall strect has become bullish. The professional circulators have loaded up with stocks, Every littie fellow in Wall street has bought something. Most of them have handsomo profits on paper. Thero has, however, been no where a trace of any important disposi- tion upon the part of outsiders to come into the market. The public continues to hold aloof. There is, perhaps, more than one reason for this. Probably it is not merely that tho public is suspicious of the current bull movement, though under the circumstances that may be excused s a not altogether un- intelligent reason. It may be that the public is not able to come into the market, Bargaln Hunters Hard Hit. Everybody in this country who owns cor- porate securiti of any sort has been obliged during this year to suffer an un- precedented value shrinkage, Such losses have fallen with especial heaviness upon tho class of people who ordinarily are on the qui vive for bargains in Wall stréet. Their recent oxperience has however, warned them of the dangers or else has left them unable to act, as formerly has been their custom. There have been one or two exceptions, but the ruleof the past week has been that any stock could be advanced ang, though this has undisgmsedly been the result of manipulation, it is not to be denied that Wall street has enjoyed a spectacle and has been encouraged by it immensely. If it hgs not been a real bull market, it certainly has been an excellent imitation, What the Bulls Bank On. | The bull arguments are that stocks are scarce; that investors huve picked them up and put them a away; that Europe, after having been a seller of our stocks for three years, has finally discovered that Wall street is one vast bargain counter: that there is a tremendous short 1nterest in the market; that quotations have been pounded to un- warrantably low fizures, and that stocks no longer are pressed upon the market by holders in distress. The bull con- tingent lays stress, too, on the claim that while our grain crops this ear may show decreases, compared with our big years, yet none the less we shall have a product large enough to permit of shipments abroad by wholesale, whore European markets will be ready for every bushel of wheat or corn we can export. The greatest emphasis, however, is laid upon the prospective repeal of the silver buying law. Unconditional repeal is certain, so Wall street believes. All this is counted upon as certain to influence European confidence in the conservatism and honesty of the Americ financial volicy. It is, moreover, the expectation of the hope- ful Wall street crowd that though repeal goes through the senate as it has through the house without conditions tacked upon it there will none the loss be other legislation immediately after which will amount to in- flation, through some one of the dozen schemes for turning out more money which have been brought to the front down in Washington. This is the bull side of the story, Pessimism Stilt Pertalus, Upon the bear: side—for there are still bears, and important ones—it is contended that the present boominess is merely a puss- ing incident; that it Is unwarranted by any tacts which have doveloped; that it hangs merely on a lot of intangible hopes, Accord- ing to the bears the unconditional silver repeal bill can sinify mere contraction to the extent of $50,000,000 a year. Our crops, they point out, will not be more than three-quarters of an ordinury harvest, and that even if we had full crops and were able to ship by wholesale abroad, we still would be makng little money out of such a movement for the reason that we are gewting hut little more than half of what have hitherto been regarded as fair prices, Railway rates, meanwhile, are at a mini- mum. As to European confidence to be engen- derod by legislation at Washington and for any other reason, the beavs insist that Eu- rope is baukrupt; that it has parted with Americar. securities not because 1t wanted to particularly, but because it had to. As to financial legislation supplementing the re peal of the Sherman bill, there is littlo prob- ability say the bears, of anything definite being determined for months to come. They make much ado over the proposition touch ing state banks, to which some Now York newspapers, friendly to the adwinistration, lave been claiming that President Cleve land is committed. Only Playing & F, ‘The bears deny, of course, that there is much short iuterest in the market. Their tort is that every livtle fellow with a 2 par ont margin has loaded up in millionaire style. and that the present boom is u mere card house, likely to go tumbling at any moment. The biggest bear of all—and the man who always makes less noisa about his bearishness than anybody else—summarizes the situation in this way “Wall street has dropped into the habit of operating ou fads. A couple of months ago we had the fad of tight money. Busiuess had been brought to a standstill and mer- chauts and manufacturers were never going 1o be able to borrow funds any more.

Some of the figures given out this week by the big corporations bave been dreadful. So far the stock market has ignored them, The Missouri Pacific, selling around $20. sent in a report for August with a decrosse crawling up close to $1,000,000 as compared with the same month of last yohr. Forthwith the stock Jumped up threeor four points. How naturally this may be anybody can judge. From every section of the country we are be- ginning to get avidence of shrinkage in rail- way trafiie. Efforts have been made during rocent months to ecomomize. The business contraction will hutt the railroads more than anything else. 1t s to the credit of most of the well managed roads, however, that they seem to be aware of the situation and are husbanding their resources to the utmost. Allover the country there is a disposition to put economical administration in theaffairs of the great g corporations. The advantage in this will bo that when times do improve, and the railronds will begin to earn big money, their net earnings will grow with great rapidity, for tho reason that economies once institlited are likely to be maintained, One of tue Significant Incldents. Something of the féeling of unrest which has been developed on the iuside of some of our conspicuous corporations was disclosed inthe affairs of the Bvausville & Terre Haute roud this week when, to the surprise of a lot of tho insiders, a receivership was procipitated. This sort of thing may be duplieated in other quarters, for one of the results of the recent crucial times has been the engendering of sus- picion in almost every quarter. And in some instances, besides the Evansville & Terre Haute, there is internal warfare in mportant corporations. Receiverships can bo obtained so easily nowadays that when real war does bretik out on the inside of railroad propérty there are serious chances ors are going to they want.

Banks Sgind Again, The_ bank statement for the week, given“out at noon Rodny, shows a zain in surplus reservés ' of over 4,500~ 000 and for' ghi first time in months the New Yxk banks finally hold more than the reserve required by the na- tional banking law, 3y’s statoment puts the excess at.app $37,000,000.

Fhe gainers by casy money, however, are likely to be the mer- chant and’ manufacturer, rather than the stock market boomer.

The immediate future of the market must depend upon how much further Wall street will be disposed to dis- count other improvements in the financial situation, for there are other imorovements in sight.

ONE EVIDENCE OF DISLOYALTY FOUND Placards Printod In Frenoh Rofer Insult- Ingly to the Visit of Italy's Crown Prince—William 1s Much Ploased With s Reoception, STRASHURG, Sept. 0.—The emperor of Ger- many arrived at 10 o'clock this morning. His majesty alightod from the imperial train at the Neufeld station, whici was brilliantly decorated for the occasion. A guard of tonor of cavalry and infantry surrounded the station and troops lined the way to the review grounds. The cmperor looked well, and after oxchanging greetings with the military authorities gathered to meet him, mounted his horse amid a storm of cheers and, surrounded by a large and flashing stafl followed by a guard of cavalry, rode to the reviewing grounds, greeted on all sides with acclamations of welcome. On the review ground the emperor found the Fifteenth army corps drawn up in full parade order. A grand stand just behind the reviewing pomt had been erected and flagged and festooned in the most elaborate manner possible. The flag of Germany and tho fmperial court of arms were overy- where conspicuously displayed. This grand stand was large enough to accommodate thousunds of people and it was packed to the utmost with the notables of the city of Strasourg and its neighborhood. Among those present on the grand stand today wero many who remembered the terrible scencs brought about in Strasburg in 1571, when the city surrendaered to the Germans after a month’s bombardment. To many of them, undoubtedly. this gorgeous review about the cepitol of Alsace-Lorraine, joined by its bridge of boats to Kehl in Baden, was d cidedly depressing, but & more beautifully grard spectacle could havdly be imagined than this vast German army drawn up out- side the great triangulav fortress wrested from. the French at the cost of so much blood and treasure. 3 Nothing Was Lacking. | Exteastve ‘preparations ‘for tho rasepifon of the Germun - emperor had. been made in the city 118dlf. The streets and principal “buildings were profusely. docorated and the: seven zates lending through the ramparts and walls to und out of Strashurg were made beautiful with flags and flowers. At a con- venient point in tne grounds a tent had been erected, in which the burgomaster and othe leading city officials were to entertain th emperor after the review. General Von Blum was in command of the troops and greeted the emperor when he ar- rived. The meeting of the two staffs was the signal for another storm of hurrahs. The troops were drawn up in two divisions and the emperor slowly rode down in front of cach division, o ly iaspecting the men, commented heva and there with com- manding ofticers and then took up a posicion at the saluting point, ha s puss before him. This gathering of staff oficers was one of the most duzzling scenes in the series of brilliant military spectacles. After they passed the emperor inspected the vet- erans, stopping every now and then to talk 10 some old warrior with whom he was per- sonally acquainted and shaking hands with many of them. - After the mony the emperor left the field at the head of a com- pany. DI Towards the end of. the review the sky became overcast and soon rain began falling, purting the many thousands of spectators to flight. But the rain appareatly had no tor- rors for the German emperor, and he rode calmly on horseback, himself and stafl scem- ingly utterly regardless that their gorgeous uniforms were suffering through the down- fall, From tho reviewing grounds the emperor rode slowly through the muin streets of the city. He was cheered on ull sides and en- Joyed the mauner in which he was received. The emperor was thovoughly pleased with his visit to Strasburg and so expressed him- self when, after his ride through the ecity, he repaired to the huge tent previously re- ferred to, which had been erected in his honor on the Broglie Platz. Bencath the tent the emperor aud the crown prince of Italy, together with staff officers and others, were ofticially received by the burgomaster The latter warmly welcomed the emperor to Strasburg and assured him of the loyalty of its inhabitants to the emperor and to the German empire. After leaving the tent the emperor rode to the headquarters of the garrison, where ho partook of funch with the oficers, He lefy the city late in the afternoon, Not Mind the Rain, Pleased with f1ls Recoption, Strasburg throughout the day was pack ed with crowds of people, seeking to show in the warmest way possible that they ex tended a welcome to the emperor of Ger- many. He was greatly pleased at the dem- oustrations, so much $o that on leaving tho city he said to the burgomaster: My doar burgomaster, I most heartly thank you for tho welcome I have roceived. It was all splendid.” 1uis said that in spite of these demonstra tions of loyalty that there was an exhibt of disloyulty mades during the earlier part of theday. A numberof placards, printed in French, were pasted in conspicuous blaces along the route which the emperor was to follow. These placards referred in the most insulting terms of the visit of the crown prince of ftaly to Strasburg in company with the emperor of Germany, The police promptly removed all traces of the placards and are said 1o be malking a vigorous search for the persons who had printed them, us well as for those who had taken part in posting them up along the emperor's route, ‘This incideut was the only disagrecable feature of the emperor’s visit.

The badly decomposed body of a man was found about 7 o'clock yesterday morning in the Missouri river at a point about one mile north of the water works.

He promptly sccured tho body by means of a wire near the shore, Corone after a ses finding the s und Floating In Maul was av once notified, and veral hours succeeded in bout 2 o'clock in the after- noon.

Later 1 the day, however, it developed that the body thus found was that of Charles Burtman, o hack driver, known by the name of “Swedo Charlie.” There was evidently some suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance and subse- quent death of the man, who was last secn alive Tuesday evening. The story, as teld the police last ovening by several of the dead man's friends, was to the effect that Burtman had an altercation with another hackman on the night of his disappearance. 1t is said that George Conart, an empioye of Mr. Rockefellow, is the namo of the man who fought with Burtman on' that evening. Burtinan recoived sorious injuries in tho fight, which took place in the alloy at the rear ot the Turf saloon about 8 o'clock on the night in question, the jury Conart was last cvening arrested by tho-| pohce and booked with being a suspicious character. B It ulso developed that Burtman had a brother in Lincoln, who 1s in charge of tho Opera House saloon. His parents reside near Salt Lake City. The coroncr immediately notified the brother at the Capital city, but up to a late hour last night he had failed to receive any response. Jureful inquiry among hack drivers and at the Turf saloon, where the d was reported to have beon seci on last Tuesday night, elicited the fact that a fight had taken place and that Burtman had received a badly battered head and the encounter, unknown, one of the Tuesday, bruised face after The cause of the quarrel is After wushing off the blood, in rear rooms of the suloon last Burtman_talked somewhat in a rambling munner, as if affected by the blow and implored those who proffere him assistance to leave him alone, saying that he wanted no doctor, One of the blows appeared to have been inflicted with something harder than the bare fist. 1t caused a wound in the templo near tho right eye and this seemed to be the one from which he suffered most, It was also reported that tho dead man had tuken 4 drink, afterwards saying that this would bo his last onc, but_ investigation failed to substantiate this rumor, How the deceased, who s about 30 years of age and who rented the horse aud carriage he always drove, got to the river that night is a mystery. He is said to have been drink- ing more or less that day and night and his vehicle was, conscquently, not used by Lim during that time, The remains will probavly be exhumea as 5001 s the dead man's brother arrives from Lincolu.
