should be hela primarily for use in pagin foreign balances and to this end the plan o an international gold currency, based on actual de 8 of gold in the subtreasury of Now York and the national banks of other countries, should be adopted, the certificates of deposit to be transferrable by telegraph and the balances to be paid through an in- ternational clearing house, In discussing money as the basis of credits he showed that the national banks were in the habit of reducing their reserves far below the safety point and that they were enabled to do 8o by the law, which encour- ages them to deposit large proporcions of their reserves in central reserve citics, whose banks py interest on deposits. He favored a law absolutely prohibiting a national bank from paving or receiving intercst on de- sits and quoted from the report of the New York clearing house committee of 18 to show that the bankers themselves re- garded such payments of intorost as the most effective agency for crealing panics. He nlso favored the convertible bond plan of exchanging bonds for currency in order to obtain ready money in times of crises or panics. Rustled Up & OQuoram, When Mr. MeMillan finished the_absence of a quorum was so evident that_Mr. Wol- cott called attention to the fact By means of roll call the temporary presence of i quo- rum was secured, and the houso bill to cx- tend the time for completing the eleventh census was passed. The consideration of the repeal bill was then resumed, and Mr. Dolph, republican, of Oregon took the floor to give his views as to the real cause of the business and financial troubles, which, he said, was the fear of hos- tile tariff legislation, The scnator from Delaware (Mr. Gray) somo days ago asked if this was the true cause of the finuncial and industrial trounle why it did not manifest itself last fail imme- diately after the election. Mr. Dolph said th All that time 1o ono knev have known until the various lezislutures met, what the complexion of the United States senate would be. As soon us it was known that the nate was democratic the tinancial distress commenced. e said the repeal of the provision for tho purchuse of silver bullion would not restora confidence, although he favored the repeal of the law. In the course of his remarks Mr. Dolbh said that if tho Minneapolis platform had been believed to mean free coinage the re- publican party would have been dead and buried and damnod boyond the hops of resurrectios “Any worse than it is now?" asked Mr. Teller, and Mr. Dolph ignored the question in the general lnughter which followed. After a briefl executive session the scnate adjourned. was apparent. . nov could any one IN THE HOUSE, Second Week of Debate on the Repeal of the Elections Luw. Wasnixaros, Oct. 2.—Debate on the eles tions bill in the house was very one-sided. The four specches, made by Dinsmore of Arkansas, Denson of Alabama, Cooper of Florida and Clark of Missouri, were all from the democratic standpoint. The repub- licans, however, managed to get in a sug- gestion occasionally by propounding ques- tions. Mr. Clark of Missouri made the speech of the day. Ho was interrupted soveral times by George Washington Murray, the only negro in the house. The attendance is rap- idly falling off. Many members have gone to Chicago and Colonel Ike Hill, the deputy sorgeant-at-arms, who keeps tab on the ab- sentges, savs that if the roll were called on the Miaway plaisance at the World’s fair tomorrow a quorum would be defented. The second week of the debate oif the bill w repeal the national elec- tion laws was ushered in quietly this morning. Less than 100 mem were on the flpor when Colonel Hill, the depusy sergeant-at-arms, lifted the heavy silver mace to its pedestal and the speaker brought down the gavel. There was. however,a noticeabie attendance in the gallery. Mr, Dinsmore, a new democratic” membor from Arkansas, opened in advocacy of the bill. " In arguing for the immediate repeal of the laws, he referred to the threat of Gen- erzl Grosvenor of Ohio that if this bill was vassed the republicans might withdraw their aid from the administration in its” battle for the repeal of the Sherman law. “There are some of us on this side,” said Mr. Dinsmore, “for whom that threat has no terror. Although the Sherman law is a cowardly makeshift, a poor, weak, lame measure, it represents the only topeof those who believe in the use of both gold and sil- ver as money.” In defending Arkansas against the asper- slons-cast upon it, he called attention to the character of the man who had been selected to perform the sacred work of purifying the ballot in that state. The chief federal supervisor was “Poker Jack" McClure, who, when he was chio ustice, chuwmau of the republican state committec and editor of the republican newspaper at Little Rock at one and the same time, had boasted he could render a decision on one side as well as tho other, He was at the birth of rascality in elections, ame was the synonym of all that was ptand immoral. Truly a glovious man to look after the purification of the vallot, Denson of Alubama, Mr. Denson of Alabama followed in sup- vt of the measure. Ho is one of the prom- sing new members from the south. He graphically described the conditions in his section of the country following the war, when, he suid, soldiers with clanking sabres and military trappings dragged judges from the benches and administered il justice. That wus reconstruction. These election laws were passcd for the purpose of humili- ating the south and forcing her to her knees, In speaking of the wur itself he declared with emphasis that he had performed his duty as a confederate soldier and was proud ofit. “Ipelieved 1 was right,” said he, “tand under similar circumstances I would do it aga “Oh! Youdidn't whip us,” he added in n repiy to the suggestion fronl Mr. Lacey that they would be forced back into the line again. You didn't whip us; we wore our- selves out trying to whip you.” [Laughter.) In discussing the action of congress on the silver question and the split in the demo- cratic party, he hotly declared there were some democrats who ought to go over with the repubhicans. “We ought to meet and exchange prisoners,” said he; “divide at the Alleghenies and proceed with the fight.” [Applause from silver men on both sides of the house. | While arkuing in favor of the unconstitu- tionality of the election laws, Mr., Ray io- terrupted him to inquire whether Mr. Denson did not believe the framers of the constitu- tion intenaed to found a nation in perpetuity. Made nn Evasive Answer, *How do vou spell nution?” asked Mr. Deuson in return. S With o big NV replied Mr. Ray. “Well, that is exactly where we differ,” retorted the Alabaman, ~*1 sometimes spell it with a small n; always when it applies to banks.” Ho continued that the constitution un- doubtedly conferred power on cougress Lo perpetuate the union, but that the clause invoked in support of these luws was only to be used when the state defaulted. At one point he said impetuously, addross- dog the ropublican side: *'You've got high protection, you've got enough democrats with you to destroy silver. You've got the earth; ao you want the fulluess thoreof?" [Laughter. | Mr. Cooper of Florida was speaker. Mr. Dhump Clark of Missouri followed with a vigorous speech in support of the bill. The people did not like the idea of Upited Stutes marshals swaggering sbout the polls with bludgeons in their hands and pistols at their sides, saying who should vote and who isbould not vote. The mission of the demo- cratic party from its conception had been to ive local -government to the states. Ielerson’s victories declared that years ago; fi’vegnu'- last vietory declared the same og. SIf Cleveland favors local self-govern- ment,” stouted Mr. Wison of Washington, Swhy docs he appoint foreigners as Iudian agents in the western stutes !t *Porhups there are cases where the presi- dent canaot find men of sufiicient intelligence sad inwegrity to fill those places in your state.” suggested mr. Clark. “The wnly scalawag,” retorted Wilson, hotly, “to whom we object was sent trom your state.” Spalis the Word with Two “G's." Mr. Clark bagan 4 tirade against the pre- “euded love of the ropublicans of the colored race. “They call bim negro," said be; the next I him ‘mgger.’ " After soveral similar comparisons, he said, Lot us make the best of a situation for which neither of us are re- sponsible, and solve, it we may, the most aiMeult problem of ahy age.” Mr. Cannon suggested that the United States marshals could be reached by im- peachment for violation of law. M. Clark declared that if impeachment proceedings were brought into the sen and a case made agoinst Davenport, every aemocrat would voue for impeachment and the republicans would vote against it. George Washington Murray, the colored representative from South Carolina, inter. rupted to siy that he had been a federal supervisor, and to ask how fcderal super- visors could prevent the election of demo- crats. Mn Clark replied, by arresting democrats and holding them until the polls closed. Then Mr. Murray wanted to know what class of officials.” United States or state, made the most arrests on eleetion day Mr. Clark said ho had never known a man to be arrested at the polls by state or mu- nicipal officers except as iLhe knock-down-drag-out fight. He said that the color line would not bo wiped out until the colored raco divided on economic and other issues as white men Md Murray asked what good it would do colored men in the south to divide untii the white men did, Mr. Clark said that they would not divide until the bugaboo of negro domination was gono, At 5:80 the house adjourned. OFFICIALS TUREATENED, Spanish Auurchists Roady to Resort to Dos- perate Means to Help Patin JARCELONA, Oct. ~Another anarchist sensation was created heve today by the pub- lication of circular emanating from the anarchists of Catalonia, of which province this city is the capital. The circulars were strown thickly through tho streets of Bar- celona last night, and through the thorough- fares of the principal towns of the Province ona. ‘T'he cireulars were printed in the Castilian language, and in tne mozt heated terms incited the people to rise up and re- vengo themselves upon the upper and middle classos if the death sentence passed upon Pallas is carried into effect. The writers call upon the people o use all means 1o wreak vengeance upon their alleged op- pressors, and declare that dynamite, petro- leuin, the dageer, and poison shall be used, claiming when the governmoent employs rifles and produces famine anarchists should resort to dynamite and the torch. Iu addition to the dynamite bombd found under the palace walls the police have dis- covered and taken possession of ten dynawmite bombs, unexploded, in the most prominent buildiugs of Villa Neuva. Theze bombs had been lighted and only failed to explode, owing to the fact thut their fuscs were defective, ‘I'ne different authorities of this city ave ecciving many threatening lettor: ur- ing that the most horvrible vengeance will fall upon them and upon the city if Pallas is executed., Payor Preixto, editor of the El Ideal, an advanced republican paper, who was ar- rested on the churge of having been con- cerned in the plot to blow up the residence of ex-Minister Catov de Castillo about a yearazo, has been released on varole, pend- ing the trial of the Madrid anarchists, who are siaid to bave been his accomplices in S0me manner ov other. WOULD MEAN i COINAGE, Whatsomo of the Silver Advocates Pro- Tend to Sec to t al Mensure. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Some of the silver advocates who have been studying tho re- peal bill in the senite by Mr. Voorhees and in the house by Mr. Wilson, have reached the conclusion that from the silver nd- point the passing of either of these bills, in- stead of proving an evil, may be a real bene- fit. They cluim the enactment of either of s intora law will have the effect of re coinage of silver. The reason- ing is very direct and is to the following ef- fect: Both the Voorhees and Wilson bills re- pealonly so much of the Sherman actas directs he secretary of treasury to pur- chase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces of sil- ver, or 50 much thereof as may be offered each month, but leaves untouched the fifth section of the Sherman act, which repeals the purchasing clause of the Bland-Allison act. This, they argue, leaves the Bland-Allison act in fuil effect, except that requires the purchase of from 00 to 4,000,000 ounce of per month. A part of this act, which is un- repealed, provides for the free coinage of sil dollars in accordance with the provis- ions of the act of January 18, 1837, This e: tablished a government mint, and provid for the coinage of both gold and silver, in sums greater vhan $100, ut the request of the depositor. The senators do not show an. great disposition to diseuss the prodahil ties. Theyadmitted the matter has be canyassed among them, but say that whi the reasoning is clear and the law of 1837 would unguestionably be left in force by the passing of cither the senate or the hous: bill, the enforcement of the bill would pend on the administration, and with the administration unfavorable, 4s it now i they could not hope for a tavorable interpr tation of the bill silver PUBLIC BUILDINGS, No More Bills for Their Ereotl fieporied to the House, WasniNaroy, Oct. 2.—The members of the house committec ou public buildings and grounds say that the understanding is that the house will not report any public build- iags to this house. Representative Sweet says that he will endeavor to have one bill reported, giving a building to each of the new states which have not been so favored, Of the six new states North und South Da- kota only have received appropristions for public buildings.

Hopafal, WasHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The senators who have been most active in trymng to effect a compromise on the repeal bill do not express themselves as discouraged by the outlook this morning. They say nothing is likely to transpire in that divection during the pres- ent week, but express the opinion that the beginning of next week will see a change in tke situation. By that timo they think the senate will be thoroughly impressed with the futility of the effort to pass the pending bill in its entivety and further de- lay will have the general effect of convine- ing senators of the impossibility of any man getting just what he may want. The ex- treme men on both sides are still holding out stifily, however, and if there is any im- provement in the situation it does not ap- pear ou the surface.
