The floor of th house of representatives was the scene of battle of giants to Jay. It was the Ins twenty-four hours of the dobatoontho flnut cialquastlon and both sides had reserve their ablest speakers for the closing act i tlio Ions-drawn battlo. Tom Used , the el qucnt leader of tha republicans , found a answerer in John Allen of Mtsslsslpp wl-oso rcndy wit WAS ono of th m st forcible arguments of iho frc coinage mon toJay. J. R. Williams , democratic member of the last commlttc on coinage , besought his colleagues to r member their party platform , while Bourt Cockran of Now York rcpsatod the Incldon of tha last democratic convention , In whic ho played such an important pirt , un nrguod that the true Interpretation of tl platform was not that sourht to bo glvon I the gentleman from Illinois. William L.Wi con , the author of the ropo.illng bill , an Richard P. lllnnd , the author of the subsl Into measure , upon which the first vote w occur , closed the debate for thuir rojpoeth sides In oxQ.'llcut shapo. A Strong , Forcible Effort. The speech of Bourke Cookran was strong , forcible speech , but It did not about in the jo ( lights of oratory which h vvj nvid him fa-nous. Ho failed to devote any co elUcrablo portion of his argument to unswo ng Mr. Bryan , although ho had boon he nlded as the mm held In reserve by tl ropa.tling forces to answering the brllllat young Nohraskan. His argument that tl bankers are u debtor rather than a credit class ami < that the banks of Now Yo would bo benefited millions of dollars ai the day laborers of the country robbal of 1 er cent of their pay by the policy advocat by Bryan and Bland was nn Ingenious on hut whnn the Nebraskan InquiroJ why , that wcra tha case , the banko of Now York nro denouncing M Bryan and ivlr. JJlaui , whiteT. . " " Powderly , the representative of organiz labor , is supporting their policy , the quo brought down the applause of the houso. A Cockrun's brilliant ratort that the banke believed honesty to bo the host policy , w loudly applauded , but his subsequent co mcnt that Powderly Is uursuing the sai line of mental aberration us Bryan ai Bland wus not received by the house as : tort In accordance with thu best ethics parliamentary coartcsy. Opolllnjr of tie Del ) itfl. During the entire- day the galleries a lobbies of the house * were crowded to the utmost capacity. On the Hoar of the hou were Vice President Stevet.son , Secrotn of the Treasury Carlisle , Secretary of t Navy Herbert , President A. J. Warner of t Bimetallic league , Senator Palmar , Senat Cooler ell und several other members of t upper body who have taken u prouiiuc part in the financial discussion In congre The speaker announced that the debate favor of the bill would by closed by author , Mr. Wilson of West Virginia , a the argument lor the opposition by > Bland of Missouri. Mr. Clnrko o'f Alabama was the 11 speaker. Ho believed It the duty of congn to fix the ratio at 10 to 1. Still ho would i cast a vote that would continue to paralj the industries of the country. Ho felt the was a necessity for Immediate action restore confidence. Ho held that all t trouble was duo to the purchasing of all' under the Sherman law , ns the people I lluved , and whether that belief wus corner or not ho would vote to repeal the law or anything to restore confidence. Then Kx-SjioaUer lined Spoke. The next speaker was Hon. Thoinns Reed of Maine. After sketching briefly t financial condition of the country and < clnrlng ho hud no dcslro to deal with 1 situation from a political standpoint , ho p ccodod to Bay thoUomocratio party had b ( brought Into power by u curious combli tion of circumstances , but in a la measure by iho apathy of the Amorli people. Consciousness of this fact , ho si : underlies tha cntlro situation. Ho woi not raise the question whether protect ! were wise or not , hut the fact remain oven if it were admitted that the propi tlous of the democratic platform were tlroly correct , that the system upon wh the manufacturers of the country were r ulntod for thirty yours was threatened w total change. Whether that change bo the better 01 not , no man can know , Wl thu democratic party proposes to do nobi can say ; they do not even know theniscli The speaker did not believe thu domocri party to bo utterly bad , nor that it would permitted to bo so if it desired. If rofon tion of the tariff were in thu hands ovci its friends , who favored protection , lust of those who had denounced it , buslu would be stagnant or ut u standstill , when Us reformation was in the hu of men opposed to the present system manufacturers of the country who had bi up their Industries on the present sysl must necessarily cull a halt. If their go uro to come In competition with the ui ufacturers of other lands whore product is on a different basis , whore labor U dlf cntly rowurdod , no manufacturer will d manufacture more than whvt absol necessity requires. Of thu ( loTcrnmeut' Turltr riedcui. Ho characterized in this one phrase cause of the present condition affairs "undesirable uncertainly of future of both the currency ques and the question of protection and rove tariff. " Ho considered tbo Sherman act the accumulation of silver as the curl Indications of approaching disaster rai thuu the chief causa. Hu did not bol thut the democratic congress , oven ut pressure of the people , would so revise Urlfl thai the workiogmcu should brought back to the condition of the work- Ingmcn under the Walker tariff. It wns not to bo expected that the demo crats , after thirty years of criticism of Iho acts of others , should bo lifted to the higher level of probability and performance. Time only could do that. Until thnt time came they could rely on the assistance of the republican - publican minority In the direction of sound government and an honest administration. Ho was sorry that the democratic majority would not permit Iho republicans to exhibit their wisdom In the way of amendment bui confined them to the democratic proposition , Ho would waste no tlmo showing the right ! of n minority ns outraged , iccordlng ta the democratic posllion , when the republican ! were In power , for ho recognized now a * then , iho necessity of the duty of r party in power assuming rcsponsibillt : for Us actions. Ho was only sorry the < iues lion could not bo settled within the bound of the democratic party itself , but every body know that the majority of iho demc crats would decide ngulnst the good sense o the nation. Tha frcildrnt'i I'rerilcnmont. Though ho did not believe repeal of in Shnrmati act would glvo Immediate pro : perlty ho would vote for It , because , whothc Justly or not , It Is believed to bo the cause c the hoarding of currency , and becuus only by repeal could the nation hop to attract foreign capital. Ho characterize the charge that the law of , 1873 was a trie ! us ' 'one of iho most stupendous fabrication ivhlch over existed in political lUo. " The pathway of duty led to unconaltlonr repeal. 'If that did not give relief wo mu ; try something else , aud the sooner the bottei Republicans found themselves In a peel liar position. The newly chosen democrat president found himself powerless In h first great recommendation lo his own par I and wus forced to appcul to the patriolls of unother purty , whoso patriotism lit never been appealed lo in vain. Mr. Reed sketched the salient points I the financial history of the republican -part and closed by saying that when the da came , us It surely would , for that party lead the country back to prosperity it wou take back with It "our ancient glory u dimmed by adversity , our ancient honor u sullied by defeat. " Mr. Reed's closing words were rccelvi with prolonged applause. Ho was fullowi by Mr. DoArmoud of Missouri in opposltii to unconditional repeal. Mr. Do Armoi took Secretary Carlisle to task for follovcli the ruinous financial policy of his prcdccc sor. Had the Sherman law been proper executed , a parity would have been inal tained , It might bo truo. but he did n believe the story , that democrats and i publicans in the senate had agreed to dri tariil reform to secure the passage of the i peal bill. Ho would protest against such : arrangement. The dividing lines were t tweon the money powers of the east wl foreign backing , as against the tolling mass of the west and south. Mr. Williams of Illinois opposed rope : Ho contended that the Sherman law w not responsible for the panic , though t' panic was a legitimate offspring of the i publican party. To repeal the Sherman Ic would bo to ureak the last link binding gc and silver. * Itourke Cockran Scores Ilryau. Mr. Bourke Cockran of New York was t next speaker. After some preliminary i tcrancea , ho said the democrat platform did not declare for the free coina of i silver ; an attempt hud been ma In the convention by a dclega from Colorado to commit the party that principle , but it failed to secure t votes. Colorado and Nevada were dcclarl that the"party was departing from the pli form In this matter. If that were so w did those states take to the woods in t election of 1892. It was because tnosostal hud abandoned the democratic platform th Mr. Uafo Ponce had been elected to c ( rcss from Colorado. Mr. Cockrandeclared ho was standing the platform with both.feet. . . He asseru and dolled Mr. Bland to provo otherwi thut there wus no instancn in the -history civilization where gold and silver clrculat side bj' side at any ratio. There always we fluctuations , such as constantly drive c the dearer metal. Franco had to Itnpc $000,000,000 in gold to maintain a parity I twccn the two motuls , and the Unlti States would have to do the sumo under li circumstances. Mr. Cockrau controverted the assertion Mr. Bryan of Nebraska that silv wus still the basis of vuluo farmers' products , sayingIf : tli were so , why do you not give him the f value of Itl You would give the farm 371 # grains pure silver , whllo would give him 03 Iff. " The pi posed debasement of coin would redt debits 45 per cent , Mr. Bryan assumed th the loss would full on the banks , but t fact was the banks and corporations wo debtors of the country und the worklr.gm were tliq creditors. Ho denied that gold had approclati Never before * did .the laboring man America receive so much gold for his lab Messrs. Bland aud Bryun propc in their plans to make t bunkers of Now York apresent of $21,000,1 In the settlement , of , nccpunts with dope tors , and deprive the laboring man of 45 i cent of'tjio value of his work. Mr. Bryan , Interrupting , asked if tl : were so , why Now York bunks dcnounc himself and Mr. Bland , and why Urn Master Pqwderly was with Ihetn. Mr , Cockran replied that the banks h learned thut In business as in politics honei was the best-policy , Iloucitjr tha Tleit 1'ollcjr. Mr. Cockrau replied that the banks li learned that In business , as in politics , h ( csty was the best policy. Hu claimed th business depressions were ulwuys duo to I Italian of the currency or of credit boyn the capacity of the business interests support. The operation of the Sherman li proved this. It increased the currency a stringency followed , Mr , Blund's pro pa tion to give 371 # grains of silver for 05 grains of metal was what would bo cal robbery if it related to wheat or corn. 1 farmer suffered most in the depreciation prices under the Shormnn law , and it \ \ strange that it was the -'friend" of i farmer who desired Its continuance. J Cockran spoke of the unity of Interests the whole country and the effort ? to s tlonullzo on any basis would result in bem to no ono. "Gentlemen have appealed to I sentiment of the country members" continued , "as though their interests w hostile to the interests of the cltl f I speatc upon this floor as a me bcr from a district in the greatest city this continent , aud I say now to this ho1 that the Interests of the city can never hostile to the interests of the country ; t the existence of that great mfihlcl wealth is based upon the productive jxnv of the laborers of this land who toll in fields and who digln the ditches.

Until now no ono believed tin duke of Edlnhurgh , the son of Queen Vic torla , would soon become the reigning duki of baxo-Coburg and Gotha. Prince Bis murck was always opposed to the ncccssloi of any English prince to a German throne and the duke of Edinburgh has declared several oral times thut ho did not wish to b duke of Saxc-Coburg and Gotha. When th Duke Ernest of Saxc-Coburg and Gotha dlei on Wednesday last , a long conversation o four hou.'s duration took place betwqcn th German emperor and the duke of Edinburgh and after this interview it was officially ni : nounccd that the English prince would moun the vacant German throno. Ituloil by lilt Wire. It seems that the duke of Edinburgh wa very persistent in orcler to obtain the kaiser' permission to his accession , and for the fo lowing reason : The duchess of Edlnburgl who is the daughter of the late Czar Alexnt dor II , and sister of the present eniporo of Russia , is a very proud woman , and hn often felt sere that at the court of fej James she , the daughter of ono czar and th sister of another , has been obliged to yicl the precedence to the princess of Wale ; daughter of the king of Denmark. She wsi also sere over the fact that on this accour she was obliged on gala occasions to nla -vp ryndary role , and from this has arise S .n"e bitter discussions and Queen Victor ! ' 'was , often obliged to intervene.botween he cfaughtcr.s-in-luw. A public scandal growin out of this rivalrywis' with uiQlculty pr < Vented during the visit of Emperor Wllluti to London in IS'Jl , on the occasion of the ma : riago of the daughter of Princess Christiu im the chapel royal at Windsor. Th duchess of Edinburgh betrged her tiusbnn to notcivo up. his rights to succession to tl : ducul throne , aud to accept a crown whic would give her reigning prerogatives. Tli duke had to give way , oven if ho only n malas on 'the throne temporarily. Tl duchess will always have the royal" Tan and prccedenco of a sovereign who hu reigned. It is said thut William II did not yiel willingly to such reason , but there was tl still stronger reason that there is nowhci in Europe u sovereign who has a stronge family connection than the now ruler of thl llttlo Gorman duchy of 200,000 inhabitants. i'rciich-ltiilmii I'cuco Kmlungero : ! .

The succession of th duke of Edinburgh to the rulorshlo of the duchy of Snxo-Coburg and ( > otha dominates public Interest iu Germany ana widely divergent rumors in reference to the matter nro everywhere circulated. Putting oil these aside , there is no Ooubt that the suc cession of an English duke has surprised and dissatlsllcd the nation , though the fact is tiulotly accepted by the duuhics concerned. H Is probable that Emperor William would have preferred that Prlnco Alfred , the only ton of the duke of Edinburgh , should have succeeded Duke Ernest. Indeed , it IB bo- lleved jhat his majesty hastened to the ducul castle of UcinharcJs Rruun us soon as possible after the death of the Duke Ernest with the hope that ho might induce his uncle , the duke of Edinburgh , to waive his claim to the suc cession In favor of Prlnco Alfred. His majesty is reported to have told the duke that under any circumstances a regency would bo Impossible and that ho must take the throne himself or abandon all connection with the duchies. Finding the duke resolute in his determination to forego none of his rights nud also finding that his mother , Queen Victoria , was supporting him in his attitude , the emperor put on the best face possible and acquiesced in the cluko'ssuc , cession. Ho attended the ceremony of ad- ninistcrlng the oath of allegiance to the cninui constitution , being unwilling to Again excite criticism from the family of his : nether , the Empress Frederick. The Eni- i > ress Frederick , It will bo recalled , is tha older slstur of the Duico pf Edinburgh. Crillcl8in.i lit the rre s. The extremist press , radical and conserva tive alike , uro indulging in nuglophobia criticism. They harp on the inexpediency of admitting a relative of a powerful foreign nousc into tlio secrets of thofederation. . An important exception to this attitude of the radical papers is Ucrr Kleiner's Frelslnnlga Zcitung , wh'ich says that the Coburgor's stand is in no need of pity , Because , instead of being succeeded by a youhg officer of the * guards , Ernest tasucceeded by a man ot tha world , matured politically , it adds that If Duke Alfred introduces English constitu- tionalltics in lieu of a cablnnt government , the people may thank their good fortune in having him for their ruler. - The Gotha Taggesblntt , a moderate paper , embodies the opinion of n majority of duchies n welcoming the duke , for the reason that he comes from a country where the rights and liberties of the people are universally respected. V . Despite the nbsonca of papular opposition , lowovcr , it Is Impossible to deny that thcro s nn unusual feeling and that everything : nay not pass oft quietly and smoothly. The changes that will bo made in the ducal ninistry are likely to bo the first proof of this. Will Inherit Largo Kutatei. Nothing is yet known as to the disposition of the lute duko's property.
