Mr. Wltioii' * i : truest Talk
fur Repeal.
vVAsnraoTON , Aug. 28. The floor of the
house of representatives was the scene of a
battle of giants toJay. It was the last
twenty-four hours of the dobatoon the finan
cial quastton and bath sides had reserved
their ablest speakers for the closing net in
the lon-f-drawn b.xttlo. Tom Used , the elo
quent loader of the republicans , found an
answerer In John Allen of Mississippi ,
w'oso roidy wit w.xs ono of the
in st forcible argumsnts of the free
coinage moil toJay. J. U. Williams , n
democratic member of the last committee
on colmgo , besought his colleagues to re
member their party platform , while Bourke
Cockran of Now York repsated the Incidents
of tha last democratic convention , In which
ho played such nn Important p-irt , un 1
nrguod that the true Interpretation of the
platform was not that sauiht to bo glvon by
the irtMttlomnn tram Illinois. William L.W11-
son , the author of the repealing bill , and
Hlehard P. Bland , the author of the substi
tute measure , upon which the flrst vote will
occur , closed the dobnto for their rospoutlvo
sides in oxo.'llcnt shapo.
A Strong , Forcible KITort.
The speech of Bourke Cookran was n
strong , forcible speech , but it did not abound
in the jo ( lights of oratory which h ivo mido
-r him Janous. Ho falloJ to devote any con
siderable portion of his argument to answer *
ng Mr. Bryan , although ho had boon her-
nlded as the mm hel.l In reserve by the
ropa.illng forces to answering the brilliant
young Nubraskan. His argument that the
bankers are u debtor r.ither than n creditor
class and that the b-inks of Now York
would bo benefited millions of dollars nnd
the day laborers of the country robbaa of 45
1 or cent of their pay by the policy advocatet
by Bryan nnd Bland w.is an ingenious one ,
but when the Nebraskan Inquire ! why , il
that were the case , the bankers
of Now York are denouncing Mr.
Bryan and ivlr , Blail : , white. T. V.
Powderly , the representative of organizes
labor , Is supporting their policy , the quorj
brought down tbo applause of the houso. Mr
Cockran's brilliant retort that the banker :
believed honesty to bo the bast policy , was
loudly applaudoJ , but his subsequent com
meat that Powderly Is pursuing the same
line of mental aberration us Bryan anJ
Bland was not recotvod by the house as retort
tort In accordance with the best ethics o ;
parliamentary courtesy.
Onenlnj ; of the Dcb.ltr.
During the entire day the galleries am
lobbies of the house were crowded to thcli
utmost capacity. On the door of the house
were Vice President Stcvcuson , Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle , Secretary of tin
Navy Herbert , President A. J. Warner of thi
Bimetallic league , Senator Palmer , Senatoi
Cockroll and several other members of the
upper body who have taken a prouiincni
part in the flnancl.il discussion in congress
The speaker announced that the debate i :
favor of the bill would by closed by It
author , Mr. Wilson of West Virginia , am
the argument for the opposition by Mi
Bland of Missouri.
Mr. Clarlto o'f Alabama was the firs
speaker. Ho believed it the duty of congrcs
to llx the ratio at 111 to 1. Still ho would no
cast a vote that would continue to paralyzi
the Industries of the country. He felt then
was u necessity for immediate action ti
restore confidence. Ho held that nil tin
trouble was duo to the purchasing of sllvc
under the Sherman law , as the people be
llevccl , and whether that belief was corrcc
or not ho would vote to repeal the law or d
anything to restore confidence.
Then Ux-Spcauer lined Spoke.
The next speaker was Hon. Thomas r
Kced of Maine. After sketching briefly tin
financial condition of the country and dc
during ho had no dcslro to deal with th
situation from a political standpoint , ho proceeded
coodod to say thoUomocratiu party had bee
brought into povvbr by u curious comblun
tion of circumstances , but In a larg
measure by the apathy of the America
pcoflo. Consciousness of this fact , ho sale
underlies tha entire situation. IIo vvoul
not ralso the question whether protoctlo
were wise or not , but the fact roiualuoi
oven If It wcro admitted that the propos
tlons of the democratic platform were ei
llroly correct , that the system upon whlc
the manufacturers of the country wcro rci
uiatcd for thirty years was threatened wit
total change. Whether that change bo f <
the better 01 not , no man can know. Win
the democratic party proposes to do nobod
can say ; , they do not oven know thomsclvc
The speaker did not bollovo the democrat
party to bo utterly bad , nor that it would I
permitted to bo so if it desired. If reform ;
tlon of the tariff were In the hands oven i
its friends , who favored protection , instec
of these who had denounced it , buslno :
would be stagnant or at a standstill , hi
when its reformation was In the hunt
of men opposed to the present system tl
manufacturers of the country who had bul
up their Industries on the present systo
must ncrcssnrlly call a halt. H their gooi
nrotocomo In competition with the ma
ufacturers of other lands where produce
is on a different basis , whore labor I * diffe
cntly rewarded , no manufacturer will da
manufacture more than whut absolu
necessity requires.
or the tloTernmeiit' * Turin" Pledge * .
Ho characterized in this ono phrase tl
causeof the present condition
affairs "undesirable uncertainty of tl
future of both the currency questl
and the question of protection and revou
turiff. " Ho considered the Shei man act a
the accumulation of silver as the earllc
Indications of approaching disaster rath
than ttio chief cause. IIo did not hello
tlmt tbo democratic congress , even uuii
pressure of the people , would so rovlso t
tariff that the Vforlnugmcn should
brought back to the condition of the work-
ingmcn under the Walker tariff.
It was not to bo expected that the demo
crnts. after thirty years of criticism of the
acts of others , should bo lifted to the higher
level of probability and performance. Time
only could do that. Until that tlmo came
they could rely on the assistance of the re
publican minority in the direction of sound
government and an honest administration.
Ho was sorry that the democratic majority
would not permit the republicans to exhibit
their wisdom in the way of amendment but
confined them to the democratic proposition.
Ho would waste no time showing the rights
ofn minority as outraged , according to the
democratic position , when the republicans
were In power , for ho recognized now ns
then , ttio necessity of the duty of a
party in power assuming responsibility
for its actions. He was only sorry thu ques
tion could not bo settled within the bounds
of the democratic party itself , but every
body know that the majority of the demo
crats would decide against the good souse of
the nation.
Tha Prcfldrnt'i Predicament ,
Though ha did not bollovo repeal of tno
Shnrman net would give immediate pros
perity ho would vote for It , because , whether
justly or not , It Is believed to bo the cause of
the hoarding of currency , and because
only by repeal could the nation hope
to attract foreign capital. Ho characterized
the charge that the law of , 1873 was a trick ,
asone of the most stupendous fabrications
tvhlch over existed in political lUc. "
The pathway of duty led to unconditional
repeal. Mf that did not glvo relief wo must
try something else , and the sooner the hotter.
Republicans found themselves In n pecu
liar position. The newly chosen democratic
president found himself powerless In his
first great recommendation to his own party
and was forced to appeal to the patriotism
of another party , whoso patriotism has
never been appealed to In vnln.
Mr. Heed sketched the salient points In
the financial history of the republican -party
and closed by saying that when the day
came , as it surely would , for that party to
lead the country back to prosperity It would
take back with It "our ancient glory undimmed -
dimmed by adversity , our ancient honor un
sullied by defeat. "
Mr. Uced's closing words were received
with prolonged applause. Ho was followed
by Mr. DoArmoud of Missouri in opposition
to unconditional repeal. Mr. Do Arnioud
took Secretary Carlisle to task for following
the ruinous financial policy of his prcdeces
sor. Had the Sherman law boon properl.v
executed , n parity would have been main
taincd. It might bo true , but ho did nol
bellovo the story , that democrats and republicans
publicans in the senate had agreed to dro [ :
tarlit reform to secure the passage of the re
peal bill. Ho would protest against such nn
arrangement. The dividing lines were be
tween the money powers of the cast will :
foreign backing , as against the toiling masse :
of the west and south.
Mr. Williams of Illinois opposed repeal
IIo contended that the Sherman law was
not responsible for the panic , though the
panic was n legitimate offspring of the republican
publican party. To repeal the Sherman lav
would bo to urcak the last lluk binding goli
and silver. '
llourke Cockran Score * llryan.
Mr. Bourke Cockrnn of Now York was tin
next speaker. After some preliminary ut
teranccs , ho said the democrat ! )
platform did not declare for the frco colnagi
of * silver ; an attempt had been madi
in the convention by a delcgati
from Colorado to commit the party t <
that principle , but it failed to secure tci
votes. Colorado and Nevada wore dcclarlui
that tho"party was departing from the plat
form in this matter. If that were so wh ;
did those states take to the woods In thi
election of 1592. It was because tnoso state :
had abandoned the democratic platform tha
Mr. Lafo Ponce had been elected to con
rcss from Colorado.
Mr. Cockrandeclared ho was standing 01
the platform with both.feet. . . Ho asserted
and defied Mr. Bland to prove otherwise
that there was no instance in the -history o
civilization where gold and silver circulate !
sldo by sldo at any ratio , Thsre always wen
fluctuations , such as constantly drive ou
the dearer metal. France had to Impor
$000,000,000 In gold to maintain a parity bo
twecn the two metals , and the United
States would have to do the same under Hki
circumstances.
Mr. Cockran controverted the assertion o
Mr. Bryan of Nebraska that sllvc
was still the basis of value o
farmers' products , sayingIf tha
were so , why do you not glvo him the ful
value of Ut You would glvo the farme :
371 grains pure silver , while
would glvo him C.'HJ.f. " The pro
posed debasement of coin would reduc
debits 45 per cent. Mr. Bryan assumed tha
the loss would fall ou the banks , but tin
fact was the banks and corporations wen
debtors of tho.couiury and the worklngmoi
were thq creditors.
He denied that gold had appreciated
Never before did .tho laboring man o
America receive so much gold for his laboi
Messrs. Bland and Bryan propos
in their plans to make th
bankers of Now , York a.prcsent of $21,000,00
in the settlement of accounts with dopes :
tors , and doprlvo the laboring man Of 45 po
cent of tjio va'fuo"of his work ,
Mr. Bryan , ( .Interrupting . , asked If tha
wcro so , why New York banks denounce !
himself nnd Mr , Bland , and why Gram
Master Powderly was with them.
Mr. Cockran replied ; that the banks ha
learned that In business as In politics honest
was the best policy ,
lloncity the licit Policy.
Mr. CocUrau rqulicd that the banks ha
learned that In business , as In politics , hon
csty was the best policy. Ho claimed tha
business depressions wcro always duo to in
llatlon of the currency or of credit boyom
the capacity of the business Interests t <
support. The operation of the Sherman \ \ \
proved this. H Increased the currency am
stringency followed. Mr. BUnd's proposl

grains of metal was what would bo calle
robbery If It related to wheat or corn. Th
farmer suffered most In the depreciation t
prices under the Sherman law , and It wa
strange that It was the "friend" of th
farmer who duslrcd its continuance. M
Cockran spoke of the unity of interests o
the whole country and the effort ? to sei
tlonallzo on any basis would result In benof
to no ono. "Gentlemen have appealed to tl
sentiment of the country members" 1

Can so of the Trouble.
Hundreds of unemployed gathered at the
Lake Front park this afternoon to listen to
nn address. At the close of the speechmaking
ing they formed -parade. . They were
formed In platoons reaching across the
street from curb to curb. This style of
marching completely stopped tranic , and at
the corner of Washington and Clark streets
the leaders ordered the men to march by
fours. In the confusion of assuming this
form there was a general mix-up. The driver
of a United States mail wagon was anxious
to reach a train , but ho could not got through
the crowd. Word was scut to Inspector
Hess , nt the city hall , nnd he , with two po
licemen , cleared a passage for the mull
wagon.
Near the sidewalk stood the buggy of J.
H. Martlndalo , who had driven as close as
possible to the curb in order to lot the
parade pass him. The crowd told Martin-
dale to got out of the way , to which ho re
plied : "I only wish I could. " The crowd
seized the buggy and turned it over.
Knocked Down the Inipoctor.
Inspector Ross , followed by his thrco men ,
ordered the men to move it back.
Horalovicz picked up a piece of pairing
stone and hurled it at Hess , striking him on
the head and felling him like a log. Then
the fight began. Ross soon regained his
feet and knocked down several men in quick
succession , and his mon stood by him. The
crowd was too strong for them , and when
Sergeant Swift went down with a broken
head Inspector Ross drew his revolver nnd
by threatening the crowd managed to hold
them at bay.
Inspector Shea hurried from the city hall
ut the head of twelve mon and charged the
crowd , and Chief of Police Brcnuan , fol
lowed by his private secretary , came run
ning from his ofllco and began operations by
knocking down two men. The police by this
time had got the better of the mob and had
forced it back after a lively struggle , In
which clubs , stones and revolver handles
were used on both sides. Later " 00 more
policemen arrived , and then the'- crowd ,
which numbered several thousand by this
time , was dispersed without much trouble.
Mayor Hurrlson Give * Order * .
At the time the trouble broke out Mayoi
Harrison was In a barber shop' near at hand ,
getting his gray locks cllp'pea. The barbei
had just put on the finishing" touches whet
word came that there-was a riot' In front ol
the city hall. The mayor was oul
of the chair in , un instant. HU
honor hurried to the city hall , and meeting
Chief Brcnnnn , who was just returning froii
the light , said :
"Brennan , I want no more parades. "
"Not at any timoH' asked the chief.
"Not at any time , and watch these meet
Ings. Keep your oftlccrs on the Lake front
and allow no disturbance. Break up any
meetings that may bo disorderly. "
Todaj 's parade , the police say , was corn
posed of tough characters and not plain un
employed worklngmcn. <
After the men had been dispersed ut the
city hall they again assembled ; nt the Lake
front and listened to several speeches.

About 4 o'clock Mayor Harrison pushcc
his way through the surging crowd to tin
speaker's stand , near the Cplumbusv menu

and save for the few hisses nnd'dlsrcspectf u
remarks of the more desperate element wai
not interrupted.
Ho said that as mayor of the city of Chicago
cage ho had a duty to perform , and that thi
rights of the citizens must bo protected. Hi
explained they were In no worse ciruum
s.anccs than thousands of men all over tin
country , and implored to go back to thcli
homes and manfully endure their preacn
temporary misfortune. That they woulc
gain nothing by their parades and demon
stratlons , ho impressed upon them , and siti (
they would not be tolerated. If they per
slstcd in carrying ou their parades am
noisy gatherings upon the streets , imped
nig tratllo and turning over vehicles , ho do
chived they would bo stopped by the police
but ho hoped such methods would not

toria , would soon become the reigning duke
of baxo-Coburg and Gotha. Prince Bis
marck was always opposed to the accession
of any English prince to a Gorman throne ,
and the duke of Edinburgh has declared sev
eral times that ho did not wish to bo
duke of Saxc-Coburg and Gotha. When the
Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg nnd Gotha died
on Wednesday last , a long conversation of
four hours duration took place beUvc.cn the
German emperor and the duke of Edinburgh ,
and after this interview it was ofllclally an
nounced that the English prince would mount
the vacant German throne.

[ t seems that the duke of Edinburgh was
very persistent in orSer to obtain the kaiser's
permission to his accession , and for the fol
lowing reason : The duchess of Edinburgh ,
who is the daughter of the late Czar Alexan
der II , and sister of the present emperor
of Russia , is a very proud woman , and has
often felt sore that at the court of St.
James she , the daughter of ono czar and the
sister of another , has been obliged to yield
the precedence 10 the princess of Wales ,
daughter of the king of Denmark. She wait
also sore over the fact that on this account
sue was obliged on gala occasions to olny
a secondary role , nnd from this has arisen
some bitter discussions and Queen Victoria
was , often obliged to intervene between her
daughters-in-law. A public scandal growing
out of this rivalry was with ulfliculty prc-
Ye'nted durlnit the visit of Emperor William
to London in IS'Jl , on the occasion of the mar
riage of the daughter of Princess Christian
im the chapel royal at Windsor. , The
duchess of Edinburgh. Oeeged her husband
to nofcivo up his rights to succession to the
ducal throne , audio accept a crown which
would give her reigning prerogatives. The
duke had to give way , oven if ho only re-
niaias on 'the throne temporarily. The
duchess will always have the royal" rank
and "precedence of a sovereign who baa
reigned.
It is said that William II did not yield
willingly to such reason , but there was the
still stronger reason that there is nowhere
In Europe a sovereign who has a stronger
family connection than the now ruler of this
llttlo Gorman duchy of 200,000 inhabitants.

The relations between Franco nnd Italy
are bad. In Franco thcro are frequent
riots between Italian and French workmen ,
nnd in Italy null-French manifestations con
tinue in smto of the earnest desire of both
governments to restore order. If the present
state of things is prolonged diplomacy will become -
como impossible and peace will bo endangered.
In the south of Italy- the troubles growing
out of this affair are assuming an anarchist
complexion , after being started In a spirit of
ultra patriotism. Thus far all the diplo
matic Indications are that Germany will use
her Influence over Italy on behalf of peace.

CIIICAOO , Aug. 20. [ Special Telegram to
THE BKK. ] A ropori Is In circulation hero
that the trainmen of the cntlro Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul system will go on a
strike tomorrow night against the enforce
ment of a reduction in their salaries. A
few weeks npo the company announced a 10
per cent cut in the salaries of all the em
ployes , Including officials and trainmen. In
view of the publication almost simulta
neously with tno cutting down of wapos of
the monthly report , showing un Incicasc
over the same month last year in the earn
ings , the employes , and more especially the
trainmen , have been inclined to rcocl.
\ grievance committee from the Brother-
lood of Hallway Trainmen mot some St.
Paul oniclals at Milwaukee , but was given
no satisfactory explanation , nor , so it is
claimed , any promises for the future. The
result has been , according to the present
gossip , u decision to inaugurate a striUe. be
ginning tomorrow evening , over the whole
.ystem. .
President Uoswell Miller said to Tun Ben
correspondent , when tskoJ : as to the report :
Wo have Heard no such report. "
"Has the company had any Intimation of
the strike ? "
'No. ' We have not heard any report that
there was to bo a strike. "
"You know there has boon much dlss.Uis-
'action with tbo cut in wages ? "
"Well , " and Mr. Miller paused , "that Is
asking an unfair question. "
IIo volunteered no information on the sub
ject. The trainmen are keeping their own
counsel , and it would seem that a strike very
sooi. is likely.

SALT LiKr , UK. 20 , [ Special Telegram
to Tim BEE. ] In reply to a circular sent out
on the 10th inst. by the general managers of
.ho . Great Northern nnd Northern I'aslflo
roads asking fcr a conference of all the lines
carrying transcontinental traffic to endeavor
to" arrange rates for-the benefit of all the
roads concerned , the Uio Grande Western
today sent word that It would not send
representatives to the meeting , which is sot
for September 4. This course was taken on
account of tno reported refusal of the
Canadian Pacific to participate , and on ac
count also of the refusal of the Southern
Pacllle. General Freight Agent Babcock of
the Western said to THE BEC correspondent
that the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific , having buried the hatchet ,
they wish to place their transcontinental
business on ri paying basis. They started
the bull rolling1 , however , nnd forced the
southern roads down to the low rates and
the now southern roads don't feel able to
raise rates again on account of cut throat
competition with Panama steamers. There
arc also many conflicting interests , and it is
felt that no good will be done by a confer
ence. The circular usks for a return to the
rates of February G , which were SO per cent
higher than nt" present , but it is doubtful
whether anything can bo done.
Thirty-five car lo.uls of cattle will bo
shipped from Evanston to Chicago over .the
Union Pacific on Monday. Twenty-five
thousand bheop were shipped from Idaho
Falls to Chicago this week over the s.mic

BCHUN , Amr. 20. The succession of th
uko of Edinburgh to thu rulorshiu of the
uchy of Saxc-Coburg anil Gotha dominates
lic Inturost lu Germany ana widely
IvcrRcnt rumors hi reference to the mutter
ro everywhere circulated. Putting all
hose usldo , there Is no doubt that the lUo-
CBslon of an English dtiko has surprised
ml dissatisfied thu nation , though the fact
s tiulotly accepted by the duchies concorued.
t is probable that Emperor William would
, ivo preferred that Prince Alfred , the ouly
on of the duke of Edinburgh , should have
uccccded Duke Ernest. Indeed , It Is bo-
ioved that his majesty hastened to the
ucal castle of Uclnhards Bruun ni
3on as possible after the death of
Ho Duke Ernest with the hope that
o might induce his uncle , the duke of
Edinburgh , to walvo his claim to the suc
cession hi favor of Prince Alfred. His
mjesty is reported to have told the duke
, hut under any circumstances a regency
ivould bo Impossible and that ho must take
ho throne himself or abandon all connection
li the duchies. Finding the duke resolute
n his determination to forego none of hi *
ights and also finding that his mother ,
Queen Victoria , was supporting him In his
ttltude , the- emperor put on the best face
'ossiblo ' and acquiesced in the duko'Bsuc-
icssion. Ho attended the ceremony of ad
ministering the oath of allegiance to the
icrmnn constitution , being unwilling to
paln excite criticism from the family of hi
iiother , the Empress Frederick. The Eui-
| ) rcss Frederick , It will bo recalled , is tha
ilder sister of the DUKO oj Edinburgh.
CritloUais of ihu Pre * * .
The extremist press , radical and conserva-
ivo alike , arc indulging in Anglophobia
criticism. They harp on the inexpediency
of udmlttmc a relative of n powerful foreign
louse into the Ecorots of the federation. . An
mportnut exception to this attitude of the
radical papers is Herr Kleiner's Freistnniga
Zcltung , which' says that the Coburgor'd
stand is in no nocd of pity , because , Initcad
of being succeeded by a young oflleerof the
guards , Ernest is'succeeded by a man of the
'
ivorld , matured politically. It adds that if
Duke Alfred introduces English constltu-
tionulitios in lieu of a cabinet government ,
the people may thank their good fortune in
having him for their ruler. -
The Gotha Taggesblatt , n moderate paper ,
embodies the opinion of a majority of duchies
n welcoming the duke , for the reason that
: ic comes from a country where the rights
and liberties of the people- are universally
respected. \i
< i-
Despite the absence of popular opposition ,
aowovcr , It is Impossible to deny that thcro
s : m unusual feeling and that everything
nay not pass off quietly and smoothly. The
changes that will bo made in the ducal
ministry are likely to bo the first proof
of this.
Will Inherit I-nrgo Kntatoi.
Nothing is yet known as to the disposition
of the late duke's property. It has always
been supposed tiiat ho was Immensely
wealthy. Apart from the palaces , castles
and shooting lodges owned by him In Ger
many , hu was thu proprietor of the finest
sportlng-"doinains of Europe , situated in
Austrian Tyrol. All these properties ore
entailed and pass to his successor.
Ueports gather credence that Prince Lull-
pokl will resign the regency of Bavaria in
favor of his son. Owing to the Klug affair
tberu is n feeling that ho Is losing control of
the government and Is being hoodwinked.
