CH1caco, Oct. 19.—The feature of today's proceedings at the bankers convention was an uddress by Horace White of New York Mr. White's address was 10 part as follows “We all agroe that the currency ought to be elastic in tho senso of beng more abundant when the exchanges of goods rapid and extensive and less abundant when the con trary condition oxists. How can we get thiskind of currency? Wo cannot get it from the goverument, because the governs ment canuot know when the demand for monoy is increasing or diminishing. 1 be- lieve it has nover been proposed to gauge the issuauce of currency by the collections at the customs bouse, but that method would be much more philosophical than the per capita method.” Mr. White then gave the history of money from the carly ages to the present day and continuing said: “But the pomt I w illustrate is that tho check on a bank or a private individual's acceptance of a certifi- cate of deposit in an insurance company or ary kind of stin plaster will perform all the functions of bank notes if the public h; tho same confidence in the issuer. There is no aifference between the check and the bank note as regards theic intrinsic nature and character. vornment Lacks Knowledge. #Now, our problem is to devise a system where the bank noze shall be elastic chock and in like man rLer a 8o onvo, We can sec now, if not before, why the government his no facilities for impari- ing elasticity to the cuvrency.

Regarding the fall in prices Mr. Leech said: “Without going into individual arti- cles, it is sufficient to say that there is not one of the great staple commodities which has fallen largely in prico where such decline cannot readil be traced o umstances fecting the demand nd sup) the article itself. To ascertai whether or not there h: tion in the value of th 3 it would be much fairer to take as a b comparison those things which have not been subjected to special causes of cheapen- ing, and which ave most quickly and natur- { ally affected by the plenty or scarcity of sy, viz: Interest and wages,” u giving the annu ages of the, e of discount in the principal cities of Burope from 1835 to 1892, from which it appeared that “the rate of interest has been steadily lowered each year, which could not be the case if the amount of actual money had grown scarcer. The unanimous report on wages and prices by the senate committes on finance, made after an exhaus- tive examination by A special committee of distinguished senators, shows that the wage earner today not only receives higher wages in every b of try than n prioe years, but also that he can purchase more of cessities of life with his wages than : before.” Other papers were read by Georgo F.

Mr. Butler said that as fair a man as the vice president was ho should resent making him the denository of the power to say when debate should terminate, even with his party in the majority, because it was, in his opinion, subversion of the very foundation principles upon which the government was framed. M. Butler, referring to the remarks of Mr. Mills, said: *“Could it be said the gov- ernment was paralyzed becausa one little meusure could not be gotten through the senato as rapidly and as hurciedly as its im- patient advocates demanded of the minority? The particular measure peading before the seuate might be pavalyzed [laughter], but the government was not.” Would Be & Succession of Surprises. ‘The taking up of the remark of Mr. Mills, that he and Mr. Sherman would grasn hands on the pending bill, drew a lnughuble picture of Mr. Sherman (whom he characterized as the arch enemy of silver) and the senator from Texas voluptuously embracing another. “And when the election laws ur reached, if the government gets over its paraly: and when the tariff bill for revenue only is reached, if it survives that paralysis, how tho senator from Texas witl rush ‘into the arms of the senator from Ohio and em- brace him again and again, because of the fact that they had shaken hands 088 the financial chasm.” [Laughter.] “But, Mr. President, the ago of wonders and surprises will not end with secing mo in the arms of the senator from nsas and the senator from ‘Texas iu the arms of the senator from Ohio. We shall, I hope, lwe to see a long, fond, cordial, gushing embrace between the senator from New York (Mr. Hili) and the president of the United States. [Laughter.] That would be a picture for the artist. How long and lingcring and lov- ing it will be! [Laughter.| \(mmifl. of boiling hov water would not separate them, We are going to see a great many surprises of this kind. It would not surprise me to see my venerabie friend from Nevada (Stewart) rushing up to the white Liouse to embrace the president. [Laughter.) I think as long as these love scenes continue there is nodanger of revolution orof the government stopping. I regard them as very hopeful signs of the future.” Withdrew His Motion. Mr. Butler closed with an appeal for a compromise, and Mr. Palmer wus about to address the senate when Mr. Teller with- drew his motion to amend the journal, dis- posing of the question pending before the senate. “The journal was approved, and the repeal bill was tuken up for the first time since Monday. Mr. Manderson gave notice of an amend- ment to therules, It provides that if upon a vote by yeas and nays it appeirs to the chair upon recapitulation and before the an- nouncement of the result that a quorum has not voted, he shall call upon senaiors present and not voting, by name, to vote, and shall direct the secretary to add to the list of senators voting the names of senators pre: ent und not voting, including those announc ing pairs, or who may or may not have been excused from voting, and to euter the same on the journal.

The diseus- sion continued throughout the entire day. and resulted in its adoption, with & single alteration, The discussion developed much heat and unmistakable signs of hostility to the tem- ple scheme by many prominent delegates. ‘The eriticisms of the building scheme were bristling with ioterrogation points. For nearly two hours & flood of questions poured inupon Mrs. Carse and her associates on the board of trustees, and the auswers given apparently convinced the delegates that the temple scheme was all right. After the roading of Mrs, Carse's report, Miss Saruh Jonnson, the field secretary of the temple, read a report showing the con- tributions of the different states in the union and different societies of the Woman's Christian Temperance uuion abroad toward the temple fund. Rev. Anna B. Shaw asked Mrs. Carse how it was the Woman's Christian Temperance union, never haviug paid a cent for any 810 uld, as Mrs. Carse had said in her report. 0w §905,000 worth? Mrs. Carse ex- plained that sho had made the explauation having in her mind that the Woman's Chris tian Temperance union would eventually own the temble, but the fack was that the Woman's Chriskian Te ance union held, through the trustoes, 505,000 worth of stock. The report was then amended in o slight wiy, approved and accepted. Meworial services and two-minute speeches la., whiie veturning frow the World's fair, J occupied the remainder of the me.

District Attorney Riage way is also reported to have said the offer- fag of a purse by the Coney Island Athletic club was more or loss a bluff to fiud out how the people of Brooklyn and Kings county would stand it, and that the tolerance of a prize fight —that is, an international prize fight—would never be considered, The §portiug men of 'New York actually laugh out loud at these ‘c documents,” but somo of them do say that the bluff is on the rt of the politicians.

Others insist that Governor Flower, who stopped boxing m Buffalo, to be consistent must make these sluggers go elsewhere than in this state to slug. Bob Fitzsimmons, who was in tho Tllus- trated News oftice this afternoon, said he would fight either man under any terms. He preferred Mitchell, and expressed a de- sire to meet the Englishman rough and tumble or anyway.

Hesaid they did not know the dif- ferenco botween a prize fight and a boxing mateh, and they would do well to attend to their own business. No attempt was made to stop small fights, but an international air gave the preachiers an opportunity to ot @ littlo cheap notoriety. Mitchell then declared the Heht would Lave to come off. The money was up, and if he could not fight in this country he would insist uvon setthing the question in Mexico or Cuba under London rules, on tLe turf for the oviginal stakes, The purse was: no object. He would prefer to have the contest in New Orleans or San Francisco, but if this o arranged he will demand that orvett go out of the country with him and fight for the #10,000 purse. He canceled everything else and would insist upon this. In conclusion Mitchell said that if the fight was prevented by the Brooklyn mayor ho would be in 5,000, as the ofticials of the Coney Isiand club had put up $10,000 guar- anty vhat the mill would come off under their auspices.
