The meeting of the Hnanco committee today was attended by every member and conclusions were re'achcd which may enable iho committee to report n repeal bill tomorrow. There has been , from the dny the committee llrst mot , n , difference notwcen the sliver nnd iinti-zllvcr men that apparently could not bo reconciled , nnd although there has been u free discus sion of the matter , their differences are no nearer .xcttlcmciit than when the conference began. The attitude of the chairman , Mr. Voorhees , today gave the silver men on the committee little hope , for ho said ho would vote lo report favorably the repeal bill , pro viding there wns a declaration coupled with It declaring for bimetallism. The bill , when reported , will contain such n declaration , nnd the vole by. which it will bo reported is estimated by members of the commlltco nt 8l to llvo , the minority consisting of Seu- utors Harris , Vest , Vance , Jones of Ar kansas and Jones of Nov.idn. When the committee adjourned all had been substantially agreed upon but the vcrbi- ngo of the bill , and particularly the language of the declaration in favor of bimetallism. When it Is reported Iho chairman will ask n day bo ilxed for Iho taking of the vote , nnd thu suggestion will bo made that this day bo almost immediately after the vote In the houso. Of course this will bo opposed by senators on the lloor , and among them will bo members of the lltianco committee Itself. In I'uvor of Itliiietulllmii. During discussion in committee every member has at one tnnu or other expressed himself as being In favorof bimetallism , but n difference of opinion exists as to wholhcr this country can maintain n parity of the metals. Some have argued that this cannot bu donu without an International agreement , while others insisted it , could beaccompllshod bv an adjustment of the ratio , and special stress was laid on the lad that England was now coining thu Indian rupee at at lo 1 n u d maintaining tlio parity of gold and silver nt that proportion. England was buyihp silver and coining it at ttiat ratio and main taining its purity ; if she did that the United Stales could do likewise. However , the anti-silver mon of the committed have re fused lo consider any thing in tlio way of a compromise uiil discuss tlio question of in creased ratio as something that can only be come possible after an international agree incut. There has been 11 good deal of feelinc- tlio committee , and it has been apparent all along that the silver men , approeiallng the hopelessness of the struggle there , have been rather reserved. At tin mealing today the draft of a declar ation for bimetallism was submitted which favors the continuance of the use of both gold and silver ( lo tlio oxtcnt of existing coinage ) as an unlimited legal tender , and declares all our forms of money , whether Kold , silver or paper , should bo maintained at n purity. It will further declare tbut every effort-shall bo put forth to sccuro an International agreement for the adoption of n Jlxcd ratio .but ween gold and silver. To lie lloacl Until \Vuys. This declaration , n prominent member of the committee stated , would bo worded so it could bo interpreted any way to suil the po sition of the ; members. Ambiguity , ho stated , would ho sought rather than a voided in order that the bill might bo reported. With Iho favorable report on repealing the purchasing cliiuso of the Sherman net coupled by the declaration hero indicated , iho committee was able to at least transfoi the struggle to the scnato , ana nccording to the program of today the report will bo made tomorrow. Subsequent events then become mutter * of conjecture. A member of iho committee , opposed to the purchase of silver , said ho believed Iho bill would carry if it. could bo brought lo a vote , and that there were twenty-live repub licans and eighteen democrats who wouli vote for the bill , not counting three or font others who might bo considered in Iho same column. Ho thought the senate would agree on a tlmo for a vote after the result in tlio house was known. On the ether hand , a sllvor inomber of the committee Boated in positive language that they were not children to bo fooled by a so [ in the shape of a simple declaration that it was"but u Juggling of words and mean nothing. When the bill came before the senate , ho declared , the silver men wouh1 manage so Mr , Voorhees would bocompellci to vote for it. This senator scouted the idea that the soualu would pans thu hill am1 that I lie silver men were to light da. " and nigiit for their principles and If It came to a test of endurance the country would 11 m" who was best able to stamt-tliu strain. The Indications are that if Mr. Voorhees reports tint bill tomorrow and asks that a day bo sol for the vote ho will start n light that wll bo kept up for a long limo.

The financial dis cussion today was spiritless and unintcrcst- ng , None except the mcmbars whoso names till appear on the speaker's list scorn to manifest any interest in the daily proceed ings , and it is doubtful If a quorum could : invo boon found at n roll call at any tlmo oday. Tomorrow the regular Friday exodus - dus to the seashore will take placn and the .irocccdlngs of the house will hardly resume inimatlon until next week. In the house prayer the chaplain feelingly alluded to the death of Mr. Chipmun of Michigan. The sliver debate was then resumed nnd Mr. Daniels of Now York spoke in favor of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. The error , ho said , had taken hold of the public mind that disaster was bound to follow from the accumulation of silver in the treasury. This fear had been supplemented and voiced by the president. Congress should intervene to give some measure of relief to the people by changing tlio financial iiollc.v. For tlio past fourteen ycar this accumulation of silver has been going on ; instead of it going into circulation , it had gone into the treasury and remained as a useless article. The uooplo had been con- lldcnt the law of IS'0 ' should bo repealed. llund < 'il iKiionincc , Mr. Cooper of Florida , said ho would vote for the U'llson bill and against thu prop ositions of the silver men. lie admitted lie lid not know of all the industries of Ibis country , but as far as ho could got informa tion ho was convinced that tlio mills wcro not closed'up for lack of money or for lack of orders. But they wcro closing because they could get no cash. Ho argued tlio Sherman law was the cause of the present depression. The wanUof publicconildenco.had caused the failure of the luniks , the failure of substan- cial houses and had brought about tlio present financial stringency. Ilo could not resist saying one thing , and that was that when the democratic party had governed the country for four years , at the end of Mr. Cleveland's first term , it bad turned the country over to the republicans pros perous and happy. The rouublicans turned it back to the democrats in a condition of depression , with the country trolng over the financial troubles into despair. The demo cratic platform had declared for gold and silver ut an equal value and the men who stood now for the free coinage of silver undertook to override the democratic plat form. They could not do it. 'Applause. ) Mr : Goldzicr , democrat , of Illinois , spoke In favor of tlio repeal of the Sherman bill , and raised his voice in support of the credi tor class , which did not consist of the bank ers and brokers of Wall street , but of a great mass of pcoplo.

The interest , ofll- cially , in tlio Boring sea decision now centers tors in the damages this country will have to pay England for the UST of its seal hunt ing subjects who were kept out of Boring sea throughout the operation of the modus Vivendi or nrrcsled us poachers prior to the agreement. In accordance with article vi of iho modus vivendl , the arbitration tribuna must decide how much compensation is duo Great Britain from the Untied States to bu used for British subjects for abstaining from Iho exercise of the riht to take seals In Boring sea during the pendency of iho arbitration.

WASHINGTON BUIIKAU OP Tun Ilr.i ; , ] C13 FouiiTKBSTit STIIBBT , , > WASIIINOTOX. Aug. 17. 1 It would appear to the oldest and most farseeing - seeing legislative expert in Washington that President Cleveland would fall to got through the sotiato his measure repealing the Sher man silver purchasing net. But In calcu lating the possibilities of the oxccutlvo pro - rogatlvo and power It Is well to take Into consideration several important facts. This Is President Cleveland's first de termined effort to conquer his own party in congress. If ho fails in this effort ho will ! nd himself and ills party with two heads and his organization in confusion. Ho realizes as well as anybody that ho must succeed in this effort if ho would make his administration a success from any point of view. A number of times ho has expressed a full realization of this fact. Mr. Cleveland is not only a persistent and dogmatic man , but 10 is thoroughly imbued with the idea that ic is patriotic in his demand for a repeal of the silver law , and that ho can afford to push his work in that direct ion by the most extreme measures. I > iko thn Hindoo and the Cossack , who goes into battle singing sacred hymns and believing that it will bo his redemption of soul to fall with his face to the enemy , Mr. Cleveland is possessed of the fullest possible feeling that the country will stand by him if ho oversteps all precedents in bringing about a repeal of the Sherman law. He be lieves that this is the only measure to secure a return of commercial confidence and put a stoi > to bank and general business failures. Tilrnlut ; tin , Scrown Tightly. Not only have instructions been issued by the chief executive to the heads of the eight executive departments that there shall bo no ofllclal favors distributed until after the silver law is repealed , but the en- tirn machinery of the departments is being turned to the manufacture of pressure in congressional districts upon congressmen. The army of federal ofllco holders who would bo subservient to the administration under which it serves , is turning its atten tion to congress , in the same manner that the machinery is applied to bring about a continuance of the party in power. There is scarcely a day that a man in conzress , bo ho from ono party or another , is not compelled to go either to the white house or one of the executive departments for official favor. It Is not patronage alone that gives a president. ami his cabinet oftlcers power ; they have the enforcement of the laws , and the r.imlllca- tions of their official influence extend into all parts of the United States. Will lie Criticised. Certainly President Cleveland will bo severely criticised b"y the extreme friends of silver for going to the lengths to which ho is now plunging for the purpose of secur ing legislation of his own notion , but there nro patriotic statesmen in conzress from both political parties who will support the president in this action. They believe that the Hat element has secured sufficient power in certain communities to overawe good sense and sound linancicring , and that it will bo necessary to check this tendency by un usual methoJs. Just so surely as the con stant dripping of water on stone will wear away the latter substance , so will the ap plication of the extreme official power of the president of the United States wear away almost any opposition to his measures. It is true that President Harri son was unable to force the passage of the election , or "forco bill , " and he was unable to oven got a vote upon it in the senate , on account of there being no rule to force a vote , but President Harrison did not apply the machinery of his administration to compel a vote upon his proposed whole some legislation. That legislation was of a political character ; that which Mr. Cleveland - land is determined to force through congress is believed by most men in Washington to have very little of polities in it. This is the view taken of the situation by President Cleveland , and ho feels that ho can well alford to apply the most radical rnmor'y. Cjnsu a Political llcvjlc. It is possible that the extreme stops which the president has taken and which ho pro poses to take before a vote is reached upon the silver bill in the sonata will cause a re volt , and result in tlio reorganisation of the silver mon with a view to repelling the presidential power , and thus Mr. Cleveland will bo stopped short in his work of convert ing free coinage men to a repeal of thu silver purchasing law ; but it is safe toicalculatu that before such an organization is effected the president will have made inroads upon the silver ranks which will enable him to almost , if not absolutely , carry his paint when a vote is finally taken. It has been a long time slnco the presidential machine has been started us It is now about tj bo put in motion. \\'lll Sccuro Cnod Mtitrrlal. Senator Manderson , by appointment made yesterday , had a lengthy conference late this afternoon with Supervising Architect O'Hourko relative to tlio material to bo used in the sunnrstructuro of the federal build ing at Omaha. The senator llrst asked that the award of the contract bo deferred till an additional appropriation could bo secured from congress sufficient to enable the secre tary of the treasury to have granite used instead of limestone or sandstone. Architect O'itonrko did not want to delay the contract or the work , and then the senator asked that the elaborate carving mentioned in the specilications bo left oil and the plans otherwise altered so that the bid for granite would coma within the ap propriation. This Mr. O'Hourko did not want to do , preferring to not alter the plans or thu specification ) ! . The senator left the Treasury department with u hope that granite would yet ho usiid. Koprcsentnllvo Mercer also called upon Mr. O'Uourko today and urged the use of granite , but ho afterwards expressed the belief to TUB BEB man that cither Indiana limestone or Michigan sandstone would bo usod. Ho said the supervising architect sci'inod confirmed In the belief that an ad ditional appropriation could not bo procured and that the plans could not bo altered so as to admit of thu lists of gr.mltQ'to ' advantage.

ThereIs In the city no panic or fear among the people , but absolute conlldciieo Is re posed in the pollco 10 quell the restless cle ment. But. nevertheless , the situation of helpless want unions the laboring thousands Is sharply pressed upon public attention by the occurrences of today. There Is evidently too , n plan of campaign on the part of the people. This was evidenced todny by the fact that the king of cloakmakcrs , JosophiDariudcs , called nt the mayor's oillco and asked for a penult to hold open uir meetings of workmen on Union square. The mayor sent for the secretary of the park board and after consultation told Barlndos ho might , on application to the park department , have permits for meetIngs - Ings twice a week. Darindcs is required also , as n condition for granting of his re quest , to notify the police so that a full force may bo present to preserve order. This brings the fermenting forces of work men and tlio police face to face and the re sult will bo closely and anxiously watched. Cntlicrod in ( ircnt Numbers. The success of the spontaneous meeting of the unemployed anil the parade hold yester day was the signal for a iiuieli larger gath ering today. As early as 8 o'clock this morning men began to assemble in the vicin ity of the International Labor exchange. They were mostly Russians and represented principally the clothing tnules. There were cutters , garment makers and hat makers in the crowd. At llrst they gathered in small irroups of a dozen or more. Then these welded themselves and entered the building. At U o'clock the crowd , which was without a leader , had grown to over 1,000. Every inin- ute added to it mid at UHO : at least 11,000 were ; hcro. Then it beiran to rain , but very 'uw left. When 10 o'clock came the street in front ) f the exchange was black with people. The argo hull down stairs was packed , So wore ; ho stairs and every ono of the little meet ing rooms upstairs , liurtcndurs stood ready in expectation of doing a rushing business , but not n single drink wns bought Finally a voice cried that that place was too small ; that oven if n meeting was In tended it would bo impossiolo to hold one there. The same voice suggested Walhulla hull on Orchard street , and instantly the cry was taken up , "Walhalla hall ! " As if with one impulse the crowd fell into line and the march began up the street to First uvcnuo and along to Allen street into Orchard street , where Walhalla hall stood , only u few doors away. The crowd can be Imagined from the fact that when the head of the line had reached Allen street the others were still in Tenth street u milo uway. When passing the Fourteenth precinct sta tion sovonil policemen put their heads nut and the crowd saw that the reserves had been held in readiness. The crowd was or derly. Itrolte Into the Ilnll. Word of the coming of the unemployed had reached the hall and , in the absence of Floigman , the owner , his sons and daughters got ready to defend the place. They barred the door , then demanded through the keyhole - hole what was wanted. The reply came back they wanted to hold a meeting in the hall , but li.id no money to pay for its uso. They woru told they could not have it. There was a crash of glass. Paving stones had been seized from the street. The mo ment the first pane of glass was smashed every ono seemed to throw caution to the winds. 1'ano after pane of the plato glass went in and finally ttio door was also forced. Mr. Floigman's daughter , u young girl of 18 .years , tried to got in front of the crowd as it swout in. but she was thrown aside. The unemployed men swept aside chairs and tables in their eagerness to hold the meet ing and they had just about settled do-rfn to business when word of the affair was sent to tliu ICUi.-idgo police station. The sergeant at once called out the reserve section. The reserves , about fourteen men , started on a double quick pace for the scene. It was then that pandemonium broke loose. Tlio sons and daughter of the owner ot the hall insisted the men should be arrested. The roundsman saw this was impossible. Ho , however , asked if they wanted the hall cleared , and on getting an uftlrmntlvo reply , ho proceeded to do it. Ono of the ward de tectives wns with him and ho tried to siozo a man who had mounted u chair and was speaking. The speaker was dragged through tlio crowd , and with a policeman on each side , was sent to the station house. The crowd followed , while some remained in the hall. Ono or the Leader * Arroitril. The roundsman said ho would clear the hall at any cost and moro police wore sent for. Ho changedhis mind for the moment by leaving the hall and directed his men to clear the streets , which were getting choitod tiu. The llrat prisoner was a tailor named Kosoman. Ho was pointed out as the leader of the mob. Two other arrests wore made , Joseph Gild , n tailor nt 10II Hester street , and A. Simon of Kichardson street , also a tailor. They tiau assisted In the at tacks on tlio doors of the saloon , A howling mob followed the onicers to the station , but the prisoners were safely locked up. Meanwhile thn crowd at the hall had not dispersed mid the little room in the rear of the saloon was packed with shouting 1'olcs and Russians. Floigman thought it was best to let them rnmaiu in there , for in reality ho was afraid they would kill hlra if ho interfered with thorn. Inside there wcro about 100 mini talking excitedly all at once in Kussian , Tlio doors leading to the saloon wcro locked and the people inside were allowed to lutvu it out among themselves in their own way. The leader of the foreigners souined to bo W. BolkowlU , whosuid hellvod atSi'J Madison - ison street. Ho mad a a speech in hU own tongue , which stirred up the audleneo to the highest plten and the howls and % ells could bo heard outsldo in the street. Ho said the object of the meeting was to discuss some means of finding some employment , as the families of some of the men wore starving. Ho told the crowd there ought to bo no dis crimination against Russians , and they ought to bo able to apply for work on equal terms with Americans or the ponplo ofmy other tuition. What ho advocated was an nppoal to the government to furnish them with work. If there was no work to bo done , tliu government ought to make work for them. Sovcr.il other Epoaches were made de nouncing the government for not giving the people work. I'loailod with the Men. Joseph Barindes arrived at the hall and made an address. Ho urged the crowd to leave the hall. The proposition created op position , and the men cried out they would not leave the hall until tliu men arrested were released , Durindes argued with the crowd , but to no purpose , and , finally , he asked if they would leuvo if ho securoJ an other and larger hull. This was assented to , and Burlndcs left to secure Clarendon hall. hall.Besides Besides the excited mon who throngoc Walhalla hall there were 1O.Xothers ) at Cor cnent hall , Mi Orchard street.

Manager Flolginnn refused to make a romplilnt. Ho said the men would boycott him If ho pressed the complaint and ho preferred standing the damage. Ho was also afraid a prosecution would involve serious injury or death to himself. There wns nothing to do hut release the prisoners , Justice Voorhees denounced thu man for his cowardice when ho released the mm. While this scone was lielnp enacted In Kssox market ttio pollco were mo 'Ing. The reserve swept down on Wrlhalla and Cove- ncnt lulls nt the sumo time. Many bruised heads resulted from the encounter. Those driven from the halls , which wcro but forty feet apart , gathered about tlio policemen and the moro enthusiastic setup cries of , "Stono them. " There was another rush whin the men were turned Into the gutters and a rough and tumble light took plnco. The men struck right and loft , sometimes hitting their fel lows in their blind rago. The policemen again used tholr clubs , scattering the men. Without u leader , mid with policemen's bil- tcs iwaviifg In every direction , the crowd when driven Into the street know not which way to turn. They were forced away. Where the men will meet tomorrow Is not { tiown. Joseph Darindes said ho hoped to hid n hall some time during the night. A sergeant and ilvo polleo will guard tlio mil tonight. Around ttio station wcro part of the reserves of llvo precincts , hold In readiness to suppress any further demon stration. There was ufino. however.

The southern banks must have cur rency for that purpose ; the banks of this city cannot let them have much , if any , and currency c'limot-bo obtained anywhere else. A reporter made some Inquiries on the subject today and was informed by bomo of thu loading baiiK presidents of the city that in all probability the difilculty in the south would , to a great extent , bo relieved by the adoption In that section of a plan similar to that adopted by the business men , manu facturers and others in Hullalo and its vicin ity.

The adoption of thin plan will ijreatly aid the .movement of the cotton crop , The hankers agreed that the southern bankti held moro than their usual supply of cash , and NO mo of it would undoubtedly bo released for the nurpoBu of sending forward tlio cotton.

The irohlblllun element of the party is capo- lally disappointed nnd many of the dele gates returned to their homes In despair nt ho outlook. The opinion of the llbornl olo- ncnt of the party is that the platform will trenghtcn the null-prohibition party and lot materially weaken the others , The third party prohibitionists are much tlrrcd up and will attempt to makn u great leal of capital out of the situation. It U oven hinted that President Aylesworth of ) rajco university intends reconsidering his .oclinution . ot iho gubernatorial nomination cndered him by the prohibition party , some of his friends held u conference this afternoon for the purpose of consulting on ho advlslbillty of such a movement.
