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

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

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

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.

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

Germany has demonstrated to Europe hov
great arc the internal dissensions of tin
German empire , which so far have enl :

Initiated Into the secrets of the cour
of Berlin. 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

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 !

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.

to THE BBE. ] In reply to a circular sent on

the Great Northern and' ' Northern I'azifi
roads asking fcr a conference ot all the line
currying transcontinental traflle to endcavo
to arrange rates for the benefit of all tli
roads concerned , the Rio Grande Wester
today sent word that it would not sen
representatives to the meeting , whicli is sc
for September 4. This course was taken o
account of the reported refusal of th
Canadian Pacific to participate , and on uc
count also of the refusal of the Souther
Pnellle. General Freight Agent Bnbcock n
the Western said to Tan Dun correspond en
that the Great Northern and Northon
Pacific , having buried the liutiho
they wish to place their transcontinental
business on a paying basis. They startci
t ho ball rolling , however , and forced th
southern roads down to the low rates an
the now southern roads don't feel able t
raise rates ngtiln on account of cut throu
competition with Panama steamers. Tlior
are also many conflicting interests , and it I
felt that no good will ba done by n confei
cuce. The circular usks for a return to th
rates of February C , which were 30 per con
higher than uf present , but it is doubtft
whether anything can bo done.

Ucnux , Aue. 20. 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.

Nothing is yet known as to the disposition
of the lute duko's property. It has always
been supposed Unit ho was immensely
wealthy. _ Apart from the palaces , castles
and shooting lodges owned by him in Qer-
muny , hu was the proprietor of the finest
sportlng-"domains of Europe , situated in
Austrian * Tyrol. All these properties are
entailed and pass to his successor.
Reports gather credence thnt Prlnco Lult-
pold will resign the regency of Bavaria in
favor of his son. Owing to the Klug affair
there Is a feeling that ho is losing control ot
the government and is being hoodwinked.
