The ghost of Charley Mosher's frauds
still bobs up at inopportune times for

Hayden received the checks for the

the depositors, and proceeded tq begin
paying out the same. Late the same
day the Coldwater National bank of
Cold water, Mich., asked for and secur
ed an order of injunction from Judge
Strode preventing the receiver from
paying out any more of these checks
until the claim of plaintiff was adjudi
cated. The receiver went right on
paying out money, claiming that it was
by government orders, over which
state courts have no control.

the resolution containing the order of pro

a vote first on the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to 1.
Mr. Hailey of Texas asked if. In case all
the amendments as to the ratio were defeat
ed, it would be in order to propose an addi
tional amendment.
The speaker thought not, but would hear
the gentleman on the subject when the time
came to formally present the subject.
Mr. McMillin of Tennessee wished to offer
an amendment for the free coinage of the
Product of the silver mines of the United
fates.
Mr. Bland objected even to the reading.
aying it was not free coinage at all.
Then the Wilson bill, repealing the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act, was

SENATE.
In the senate on the 29th Mr. Voorhees,
chairman of the finance committee, re
ported back the house bill repealing the
part of the Sherman act with an amendment
In the nature of a substitute. He asked that
the bill be pluced on the calendar and gave
notice that ho would ask the senate to take
it up after the morning business from this
time on until final action be taken. The
OUU.1UWHU, III' nuiu( WttS evucuy me OIU
heretofore reported from the finance com-'
mlttee. Ho understood notice of an inten
tion to address the senate hud been given
by the senator from Georgia (Gordon) and
the senator from Ohio (Sherman), and he
suggested that their remarks might be made
on the bill which he had just reported. He
explained further that the bill, as reported
from the finance committee was identical
with that passed by the house, so far as It
concerned the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, and that from
that point on there was a certain matter in
the substitute which was not in the house
bill, and which, in his judgment, improved
it and made it more acceptable,
f he resolution offered by Mr. Stewart was
laid before the senate. It directs the secre
tary of the treasury- to inform the senate
whether there is a danger of a deficiency in
the revenues of the government for the cur
rent year; and, if so. what is the amount of
such deficiency, and whether legislation Is
necessary to supply such deficiency.
The resolution gave rise to long discus
sion. Senators Sherman, Mills, McPherson
and Harris opposed the resolution as calling
for problematical statements, calculated to
create needless alarm, or hh reflecting on
the secretary of the treasury. Finally the
resolutions was referred to the finance com
mittee.
Mr. Dolph introduced a bill, which was re
ferred to the committee on foreign relations,
appropriating $5 0,00J to enable the enforce
ment of the Chinese exclusion act and said
be would »eek an opportunity of speaking
on the subject.
Mr. Gordon spoke in favor of the uncon
ditional repeul of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act and against the substitute,
which, lie said, would involve additional de
lay; and In the meantime the condition of
the country would grow more und more
alarming. The senate should not lock the
wheels of progress which had been set In
motion in tne other end of ihe oapiol. Mr.
Gordon, in the concluding portion of his
speech, advocated the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on state banks, lie said it was ab
solutely certain that the states might be
wisely and properly trusted with a larger
share of responsibility in financial opera
tions. A system of state bank issues could
be made, snfe. stable and capable of accom
plishing all the purposes of domestic trudo.
HOUSE.
In the house on the 29th Mr. Catchlngs
called up the report of the committee on
rulos, reporting the rules for the present
houso. After some discussion, Mr. Catch
lngs conceded there should be general de
bate and briefly explained the changes made
la the rules. *
Mr. Keed twitted the democrats upon
their partial approval of the rules of the
rlfty-nrst congress, but In a humorous
vein contended they had not. gone far
enough. He then, In a more serious man
ner. argued in favor of the rights of the
majority, which rights had been firmly
maintained in the Fifty-first congress. Now
the house was In the habitof dodging meas
ures Instead of meeting them. He criticised
the provision of the rules which, he claimed,
vested the committee on rules with the au
thority which should be vested in the
speaker. Why not adopt rules which would
give the majority control and take away
from the fillbusterer his chance to stop the
consideration of a measure. It was butter
to bawe a speaker to exercise power in tbe
fuU light of public opinion than to exercise
it la the commltteee room.
Then, lor the first time this session, the
speaker look the floor, having called Mr.
KlchurUson of Tennessee to the chair, and
replied to Mr. Heed, lie said there were
provisions In this report which were taken
substantially from the rules of the Klfty
flrst congress. Neither lie nor any member
of the committee on rules would refrain
from reporting rules simply because they
were part of those of the Fifty *llrst congress.
V, * . . matt.uiijsrcns<
ery imicli in those rules was to be com
mended, very much of them had been by
I!1® country absolutely condemned. Mr.
Keed, when he stood up before the country
and spoke of the rules of the Fifty-first
congress failed to speak of the practices
adopted before the rules were adopted which
were so odious to the country. [Applause.]
The first action in the Fifty-first wnich was
odious was not an action under any rule,but
it was the arbitrary, high-handed action of
the speaker, who acted without authority of
---- --WHIIUUI **141110-„
rules or anything else. [Applause.] When
the charges were made against the lui
"V.w uinuv '‘fnuisk IUC iDSt COn
gress, let no one forget that the first charge
was that, without the authority of the
house, without that of the committee on
rules, the speaker had exercised a power
that »Hd never been granted him. TAp
pluuse.l He had Assumed upon himself the
• -'* -- ‘•■■■''UUICM UUIIII IjlUlHFII lue
power to count a quorum. The question had
gone to the supreme court and Mr. Keed had
never been justified. He hud heard Mr.
K.?vi4f?e.v,uru,1 suy the supreme court
had Justified his course. The supreme court
had not touched the question. The supreme
court has suld the house had the right
to make rules for its own goverment
and to make Its own provisions for the as
certainment of a quorum. but it bad never
said the speaker should make the rules.
[Applause.]
SENATE.
In the senate on the 30tb, after the routine
morning business, the bill for the repeal of
the bherman act was taken up, and Mr.
Sherman (rep. O.) proceeued to address tho
senate. On conclusion of his speech fifty
senators, more than a quorum, navlng re
sponded to their names, Mr. Teller (rep.,
Colo) proceeded with his speech. He as
fllimon ifonm •• n ___.1 ., _ 1 ■ • .
sumed (from a newspaper article which he
quoted) that a scheme had been organized
-1 Vr l'vVvu,*1 ****** Ut-cu ui kiuiufu
early In the session in New York for the
purpose of creatifig a financial panic that
would compel, at an extra session, the re
peal -jf the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act. He believed that the bankers had
intended to create distress that would com
pel the president to call the congress in ex
truordldary session and thus hecure action,
first on the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act, and second, on the Issuance of a
large amount of government bonds. But the
panic hud got away with them. They had
Wj1®/ overdone the business and had
frlghtedcd the people more than they had
Intended to do.
Mr. Manderson (rep. Neb.) presented a
memorial from all the national bunks of
Omaha, for the Immediate pussage of the
bill repealing the purchase clause of the
Nhprmun DAt k.ll. -.1_._
Gherman act, expressing the belief that such
repeal would go far toward brini *
-- wwttiu ui inging an end
.to the present serious financial disturb
ances, and also asking for such legislation
asslmll put gold and silver on a parity.
Other petitions on tne same subject were
presented.
Air. Cockrell (dem. Mo.) presented resolu
a public meeting held at
the rifth Avenue hotel, New York, protest
ing against the senseless attacks on thd
# i<i*ilillun *aY» ,an(l demanding the prompt
fulfillment of the pledges of the democratic
national convention for the free coinage of
gold and silver.

Ihe house then resumed consideration of
the new code of rules.
Mr. Hopkins (rep.. 111.) spoke in favor of
an amendment whith he proposed to offer at
a suitable time, having in view the preven
tion of flllibusterlng.
Mr. Kilgore (dem.^ex.) criticised the rules

Mr. Holman (dem.,lnd.) opposed the pro

Mr. Dlngley (rep., Me.) advocated the

regarding what is known as the “considera

Mr. Outhwaite, the new member of the
committee on rules, closed the general de

In the rules, which have been assailed.
SENATE. !
In the senate on the Slst, Mr. Voorhees 1
moved that the senate proceed to the con- ,
siderationof the house bill to repeal the !
Sherman law. The motion was agreed to.
The bill was taken up and Mr. Wolcott ad
dressed the senate in opposition to It. Af
ter considerable persiflage, in which he twit
ted the senators on a change of views on the
silver question to suit the Ideas of the ad
ministration, he declared that Mr. Hill s
speech might have been as well made against
Mlvcr, as he knew that free coinage was im
possible by separate act under this admin
istration. Heqoted a former utterance of
Mr. Voorhees to show the inconsisteift'y of
that senator on the silver question. He de
clared that Voorhees and Sherman were for
thei first time in accord, that Sherman would
bo In fact the chairman of the finance com
mittee instead of Voorhees.' All the sena
tow knQW Mr. Cleveland would veto an inde
ill rriVi . ..., UIVU3UJC. milieu
that if this bill passed the free silver men
might vote against protection in any form.
It seemed unaccountable that in a panic the
banks should object to jvn increase of
the volume of money. Their plan was
after repeal, to ask and probably get
an issue of 1100,000,000 in gold bonds. The
speaker then proceeded to controvert the
argument that there had been an overpro
duction of silver in the world at big profits.
He showed, in the case of Lead vl lie, that
|tt4,500,000 in silver had been produced at a
cost of $121,r,00,003, the loss being charged to
only a fair profit by the value of other pro
ducts. If only the silver states were con
cerned they would acquiesce without protest
but It was a national question, affecting all
parts of the country.
The floor *vas then taken by Mr. Caffery.
Ills maiden speech in the senate was in
favor of the unconditional repeal of the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman act. He
warned the senator from Colorado (Mr.
Wolcott) If he expected to smile away the
serious money troubles of the country as
Lervautes had laughed away chivalry and
romance from Spain, he was doomed to sig

Loch re n of the Pension bureau!

is that which directs that he.„
there will be no suspensions exce

.. V. . V-* , mo uuiubcr WHO Will C
under this class will be very small
In speaking of this new ordert(
the commissioner said that the chi
had been made at the request ol
secretary, who questioned the fair
of the old practice of the bureau, w:
suspended pensioners during invest
tion. A larger number of pensio
were found liable to suspension ui
the old practice than had been aa
pated, and cases were found where
sons have been suspended whose i
bilities have increased since the dal
being pensioned and who are now<
tied to remain on the rolls In e
instance as soon as these casesi
called Jo the attention of the inn
the correction was made, but it
feared the suspension might work h
