The amount of 4) < j per cents extended that have been deposited by banks aggregate now $30OUICOO. Those will hereafter bo known as 2 per cents instead of 4 } extended. The 0 per cents hold for bank circulation amount to S0,4'27,000 , and of 4 per cents , $110,027,000. It is ascertained that the circulation of na tional banks has increased since the exten sion of the 4 } s begun about $10,030,000.

"Tho temporary chairman pointed with pride to the growing commerce - morco of the country under reciprocity with our American ilclghbors induced by tha matchless foresight of Secretary Blalno. The foresight so commended dates from Fob- ruarv , I8UO , and was very hateful to the re publican congress. It came too late to atop the movements of the people in ovary state to retire that republican congress. The fore sight of the people had been exercised at n much e 11 r 11 or period and had been kept active by the wilful rofusalof congress to give such a reduction of the tariff as would make It com petitive , not prohibitory.

There has boon "tt long conference this afternoon and evening In the headquarters of ; ho domocratio committee. Efforts have bcon made to reconcile the county democrats and to secure them a'roprcsontution less than that which has here to fora boon theirs by precedent.

The doctor took up the subject of the government land loin sciiomo and sub-treasury fad and dissected Lhem to the evident satisfaction of the dele gates , who applauded the good points with out stint. Regarding the sub-treasury plan , by which the tarraors could store their grain and ro- colvo SO per cent of its value , as proposed by the Ocala platform , ho asked the convention who would make the price of grain. Was It the government , the farmer or the specula tor ? "Tho sub-treasury folly , " ho said , "would only place the farmer in the hands of such men ns 'Old Hutch' who would 'bull' or 'boar' the market just as It suited them ; dear it when they wanted to buy from the farmer and bull It when they wanted to dispose of it. " In regard to the land loan scheme , ho said it was illogical to suppose ttiat the farmer would derive any bonellt from borrowing from the government. In the flrst place , suppose the farmer moots with a succession of reverses while his land is mortgaged to the government. When the day the Interest is duo ho would have to pay it. Ho would not bo dealing with a county bank , whloti would in all probability grant an extension , but ho would come in contact with a govern ment agent who was backed , probably , by a grasping monopolist who had his oyoontho mortgagor's farm and wanted it. The gov ernment agent would say , "Pay up , or I will soil your land , " and the poor devil of a farmer , who has not a cent in the world , Is thrown out of house and homo throucn the beautiful land loan scheme , which the politicians , backed by the capitalist , is tryIng - Ing to force the rank and fllo of the alliance to adopt. Dr. Yeamans was followed by several other larmor orators , who were received with cheers and ttioir speeches frequently punctuated with applause. Resolution Committee Reports. About 3:80 : the committee on resolutions stalked into the hall with a "partial" report. This report was read. It is the same nlat- form adopted by the Fort Worth convention , with a modilication of the last resolution as follows : Ilcsolvud. That wo denounce 0. W. Mnouno and Ills corrupt methods , together with the acts of his tools and honehmoii us being a dis grace to the older mid a stuneh In the nostrils of all honest men who Know of tholr corrup tion and vlllany. This led to a heated debate. When the reading of this resolution was completed Delegate \Vado of Tennessee sprang to his feet and moved that this clause uo stricken out , and ho went on to give his reasons for his motion. Ho .said tlio convention had not been called to make personal attacks upon any person or persons. Whllo ho personally was confident , in fact know , that Macuno was one of the most corrupt men In the coun try , ho was not prepared to go on record in a convention which was called In the Interests of harmony , to attack ono of the loaders of the alliance. It was well known , that the Ocala Investigating committee had advanced n report exonerating Macuno ; that the report was merely a whitewash ; that Mn- euno was guilty of the grossest of irregulari ties and was dishonest to the core , but this was neither the time nor place to adopt such a resolution. "Therefore , Mr. Chairman , " said ho , "I move that the section bo stricken out. " Jumped On MIICUIIO With Hotli I < 'cct. Immediately there were a do/on delegates on their feet yelling for recognition. Dr. Yeaman of Missouri was finally recognized , and ho made a very conservative speech , ap pealing to the better Judgment of the dele gates , asking that they think before adopting this resolution. "It will have the effect , " ho said , "of undoing the very work wo came hero to do. " Chairman Hall then called McCllntock of Missouri to the chair , and taking the lloor spoke against the motion to strikeout. . ' "ihoro was , " ho said , "nothing personal In his desire to have Macuno arraigned for his misdeeds. Every alliance- - man know that ho liad opposed Macuue from the llrst , and ho would licht him to the bitter end. Ho was a tool of politicians and of monopolists ; ho had accepted bribes from them , and why should the alliance , which is trying to reform the government , huvoacorruptlonist at its helm ) It was the most illogical and ill-advised pol icy that could very well bo conceived of. " \V. S. McAllister of Mississippi , chairman of the committee , said that ho had no mallco against Macuno. Notwithstanding the fact that ho knocked him off his foot and had booted him , ho bore him no 111 will. But cor ruption should bo routed , Macuno had done , or was doing for the alliance , what Warren Hastings had done for India. "Do you want such a man at the head of your nlilnncol I can't bellovo it , and 1 pray that the motion to strike out may bo defeated. Macuno is the ' fatal octopus'encircling with Its slimy cells the escutcheon of the order , stilling Its purity and destroying Its virtuo. " Wade ot Tennessee got another whack at the resolution , and then Murray of Texas jumpad onto n chair ami Into Macuno In tha most vigorous stylo. Ho gave him the worst drubbing Imaginable , with the posslbto ex ception of Goodman , of the same state , .vlio soiled into and scored him unmercifully. Murray got to discussing state affairs , however - ever , and calls for order took him off hlH foot , but ho defiantly arose and moved to table the motion , to strike out the censuring clauso. \Vado , of Tennessee , moved to amend his motion to strike out by stating that , "Wo denounce the chairman of the Ocaln conven tion and the editor of the National Economist , " etc. A motion mas made to adopt the report of the committee as presented , but this was declared out of order , the motion beforetha house bolus to amend the original. Severn ! orators In the mean tlmo were trying to got tbo lloor but confusion relgnod supremely. Finally order was restored and Murray , of Texas , moved the previous question , and the motion was defeated , yeas , ' . ' ( I ; nays , 4'J. A motloa to adjourn bore failed , and , after further consldorablovlay \ , Wndo's motion to amend was dofonldc * ' n largo majority. The question then r\ \ . . . rod on the adoption of the committee's ropltj but a Mlssourlan arose and made such nzneat plea for post ponement , and finally \ \ " d up by moving to adjourn tb.U a dozen i"- mis canio from as many Quarters of the halTUi with the plat , form still before the ci ntlou they ad journed until 0 o'clock ton ow.

The informal ballot gave Hanier twonty-flvo and Warrlngton seven , the Dawson delegation voting solid for Mr. Warrlngton. The In formal ballot was then declared formal. Judge Hamor , In his speech of acceptance , expressed his gratitude and loyalty to his party principles. Among other things , ho said that ho was in favor of nil the honest money wo could got and enough of it to do the busluess of the country. Ho favored the regulation of railways bv law , and of issuing stock not exceeding the actual cost of construction and rolling stock and imprisoning railroad officials who issued watered stock. That as an experiment , the government should build or buy a railway bed across Iho continent on which nil persons should ba permitted to run trains under the direction of a government engineer and train dispatcher. That farms should not bo sacrificed on mortgage salu4 nor sold unless they bring two-thirds of the actual cost. The law should bo amended so that persons employed about the oltlcos of sheriff or county clerk should not bo ap praisers of land sold by the sheriff. The Judge's ' platform mot with hearty approval and ho will make a winning raco. DcmourntH Disagree. SrnAcusi ! , Nob. , Sept.15. .

The overflowing of thi Consuecrn river threatens to cau o furthoi damage. Two-thirds of the houses prac tically destroyed nro still standing , but thcli foundations nro sapped aud they they threaten to fall at any moment. The families saved from drowning are camped near tha dwellings formerly occupied by them and nr < In the gicatcst distress from want of food. An estimate , rlassod ns niodora'.o , nud which Is within rather than over the acitinj number , places the total of the death list ai i.,000. Siirprlsoil In Thcir Sleep. Largo numbers of corpses still rest whorg they were found. Unless they nro soon in * terred an epidemic of fever isjoared , " The municipal government "authorities nro exerting themselves to the utmost In order to relieve the extreme distress existing. So far as possible the bodies of the drowned nro balng gathered from the streams , mud banks and ruins und are being burled In trenches dug for their reception. Many of the bodies found nro on tlrcly nude , shotting that they must have been washed from tholr beds , or clso In the hurry to escape , the drowned people must have Jumped In night dress from the windows of. Iho houses , only to moot death in tno swollen waters surging around them. Sorrow and privation , mourning and desolation are to bo met with everywhere througnout the inundated provinces , and from otio end ot Spain to the other prayers nro uttered for the dead and collections are being taken up for the llvlnjr. Hcartrcndliif ; Scones. Along the river banks near the scenes ol the most severely visited districts heartrendt ing occurrences are witnessed hourly , as the survivors of almost exterminated families recognize their dead and try to save them from consignment to the common death trench. The utmost prniso Is duo to tbo troops , phjslclans , clergy and Sisters of Chnilty , who -in this emergency have shown themselves to bo capable of utmost super human exertions on behalf of the sufferers from this most disastrous flood. All seem actuated by the desire to do everything pos- slblo for bath the living and the doad. Unhapnily iho worst is not yet known , and months of terrible privations and extreme suffering are before the utterly impoverished survivors. The crops nro gone , the cattle swept uway , houses and household furniture ruined , and nil that would enable them to earn ttioir broad has vanished beneath the torrents of water which have rolled ever towns and villages , fields and farms. Kcnclerocl Desperate hy Hunger. The extreme distress of starving families in many sections of the flood devastated country has another and if possible blacker side. The grlplngs of hunger , the wailing of starving women and children hnv6 in several instances driven the men to desperation mid they have boon goaded to pillaging of tholr luckier or moro wealthy compatriots. Bands of desperate men , determined to obtain broad at any cost for their hunger-tortured families , have been driven to making raids upon and plllagintr buildings where they expected to flnd food. In some cases the rioters were successful In obtaining a limited supply of flour , wheat and corn ; in most cisos they found that they had hod their trouble for nothing , and that all food had long ago been removed to a place of salety or clso distributed or sold to the starving peasantry of iho neighborhood. The troops have bcon instructed to tnko the most severe measures to protect property. Two thousand Wlos of army bread have already arrived in the Hooded dlstncls nnd the commissariat corps of all the military divisions nro working night and day to sup ply provisions to the starving people. When the delegate in charge of the first consignment of broad from the army bakeries arrived in the flooded country ho witnessed a uceno which would have imparted to a heart of stone a fooling of sympathy. On all sides ho was besot by tbo famishing inhabitants , young nnd old , male nnd female , the majority half naked or clad in rngs. most of thorn on their knees , with nnnds uplifted , praying for succor. The feverish clamor of those poor people made the work of distribu tion slow and painful , and when all the bread was pone there still remained many mouUis unfilled , many sufferers who had not boon able to obtain oven the small est portion of this temporary relief. Alarming Death lAst. At Armenia , capital of the province of that name , the number of dead , as in many other places , is still unknown , but It Is admitted ihnt over 500 houses have been destroyed and that n largo number of people huvo perished. Of course it is impossible at present to got full details of the flood disaster , but in addi tion to the places already referred to , at i\ \ Andurnz , the stream has overflowed and Is ruining the grape crop. Tlio villages of Puerto , Naplcho and Villa Franca , in the province of Ciuclad Real , have been severely damaged by the floods. Accounts from Consougrn are appalling m the extreme. The town is a heap of ruins , surrounded by a vast expanse of water , leav ing vislbio hero and there tree tons , chlm > noys and floating wreckage of all kinds. The police have suppressed pillage. Food Is arriving for the suflonng. The burial of victims proceeds. The Hood at Almerla has plunged the city Into absolute darkness , having stopped ope rations at the electric light establishments and gus works The River Adarny has overflowed its banks and converted tha valley into a vast lake. The queen has subscribed ? 0,0K ( ) more to start a national relief fund , The Bank of Spam has subscribed $0,000 , and other con tributions uro coming from all quarters. Harrowing Tnlcn. Survivors of the Hood at Consougra give harrowing accounts of tbo onset of the flood. Many mothers wora scon btrtigglng In the water to hold up their chlldrod nnd finally succumbing to , the rushing of tlio torrent.
