WASHINGTON , Aug. 12 , The silver debate
m the house today did not attract much
public Interest. The knowledge that no vote
can bo possibly reached until August iSI ,
causes members to take little interest in the
proceedings ana it is doubtful whether there
was a quorum present In the house at nnj
tlmo in the day. Many members loft for the
seaside last night , resolved to remain until
it should bo tlmo for them to deliver the
speech , which nearly every man Is preparing
on the flnaticiul situation ,
It seems likely that the dully spectacle in
the house for the next two weeks will be
that of an impassioned person delivering u
Jlery speech to u score or two ot his personal
friends and an array of 200orUO ! ! cmptj
benches. When the house adjourned toda.i
thcro were not more than fifty represent
ntl\cs in the hall.

The first speaker in the house today was
Mr. Wheeler , democrat , of Alabama , win
continued his speech of yesterday ngalus' '
repeal. The repeal of the Sherman act , hi
contended , meant the permanent demonoti
zation of silver.
Mr. Wheeler was followed by Mr. Morse
republican , of Massachusetts. Mr. Morsi
said that the country had como to the twc
roads. Sound finance beckoned It on to na
tlonul integrity and free silver beckoned i
on to financial distress. Ho was heartily li
favorof repealing the purchasing clause o
the Sherman act , but the remainder of thai
act declaring a parity between the twi
metals was fine statesmanship mid sliouh :
stand.
Mr. Harter , democrat , of Ohio , who wni
one of the leading anti-silver men in th <
JQfty-tccond congress , took the floor in nd
vocjicy of _ tlio Wilson bill. Ho disclaimet
any idea of partisanship on this question. I
party iuin { < "was to ticcruo by saving the coun
try from its present situation ho was willlni
that tlur republican putty might have 1
nil.L , t congress nive the country an hones
purrcriesy and ho ( Mr. Harlcr ) was willing t'
shako the dust of Washington from his feel
and nnver enter the house of representative !
again. [ Applause. ]
In reply to a question , Mr. Barter sail
that the condition of thu working man ii
England was as much superior to the con
clition ol the working man in Ohio ( princl
pally on account of the silver legislation ) a
ii berth in heaven was superior to u cot ii
purgatory. [ Luughtor.J

In response to : i question by Mr. Hciuloi
son ( republican , of Iowa ) , Mr. Ilurter sal
that the Sherman act had been passed by i
republican house and n republican sonati
tynl had been approved by n republics
president. ( Democratic applause. ]
Mr. Hendersiop asketl the gentleman t
ntiH' : to thu house the attitude of the demo
cratic pirly at the tlmo of the passage o
the silver law. Mr. Hartor said ho truste
to the ( 'ood temper ot the house to krep thi
qui'.sthm out of politics.
, Mr llomk'ibon persisted in ills question ute
to 'ho attitude of the democratic party a
Ui' time of the passage of the .Sherman lav
t'Vce coinage , " shouted several member
on ihu ( tunwnitk' sldo.
Mr. Hcndci son There is nn hones
nuswer from the democratic side. Will th
gentleman ha equally honcstf
Mr Ilurtor replied that ho would answc
us a matter of courtesy , though It broke th
thread of his argument. The national pltn
f jrm of the democratic party had -not bee
favorable to the free coinage of silver. Th
elomoeruts nomlnatod a man radically o )
posed to circulating as u dollar , any con
worth less than 100 cents. Proceeding Ml
Harlcr told h would huvo congress repcn
thu purchasing clause ot the Sherman lai

is.suo divulution to the full extent of thcl
bonds , and direct the secretary of the ttcai
uito provide for the issue of gold bunds.
i Mr. llonilrlx of NiVnrk. .
Mr. Henttrlx , democrat , of Now Vork , wa
thu next speaker Ho said ho hud been de
nominated hero as a banker , llo had bee
called u goldbug , but hu assured Ills' fncnd
that the only pioeo of gold that lie mmossoi
was a f5 coin and that the < ; nly money h

tunlty for this congress to benefit the com :

Iho land , Lot congress repeal the Shcrma

thu people do the rest.
Mr , Bowers , republican , of Cullfoi nla spoil
for the free coinage of silver , and In doing t
cast it slur on political platforms , dcclarln
that no party pUtform amounted to un ;
thing , nor was it intended to mean anythinj
Ho referred to the scarcity of small cm
rcncy and said tlio free coinage of sllvc
would relieve that embarrassment. Man

By the constitution of the UuiU'd State * tt

to coin money and mgulato its value. Under
that power the government had declared
that the silver dollar was equal in value to
the gold dollar. If this congress adjourned

WASIIIXOTOX , Aug. 12. Ttio Star this even
ing sums up the silver situation us follows :
There nro three factious In the house on the
silver question nnd , consequently , thrco ele
ments to bo taken into consideration ! While
the radical'anti-silver men nro demanding
the repeal of the Sherman law nnd nothing
else , the radical silver men nro declaring
that legislation favorable to silver must go
with the repeal , while the stronger clement
In tlio house appears to bo that composed of
men Who want favorable silver legislation
added to the repeal act , but if they fall to
secure amendments favorable to silver will
still vote for repeal. In ether words , If the
naked proposition to repeal the Sherman
law Is presented to them , all'sllvor amend
ments having been voted down , tluy
will vote for unconditional repeal. In
this situation the only danger which
the repeal advocates seem to bo confronted
with is the possibility that some amendment
providing for the free coinage of silver at an
Increased ratio may bo added to the bill be
fore the final vote como. If they can so di
vide the silver men on the amendments of
the various ratios so as to defeat all the
amendments , or to adopt the ratio which
will not be popular , they will have no trouble
n accomplishing just what the administra
tion wants.
It is believed that should a ratio of 10 or 17
to 1 be Adopted , so us to prevent a vote ot
amendment for u higher ratio , when 11
comes to a test the house will vote to sub
stitute an unconditional repeal for the
amended bill. On the vote for a nuked re
peal , with all other propositions out of thu
way , there Is little doubt that the repeal bill
will pass by n largo majority.
In the senate this element enters some
what into the situation. A largo number ol
senators who will vote for some leglslutior
in connection with rcpeul which , will be
favorable to silver will not refuse to vote foi
unconditional repeal if they fail to gct'whal
they want. Some senators who will dc
whatever they can to get neldctl to the re
peal measureu _ provision for the coinage ol
silver at an increased ratio are counted on
by the repeal men to use all their .influence
to prevent any lilibustcriuc und obstructloi
to the passage of tlio repeal bill if amend
incuts full. Their position is this : Thai
they uro in favor of repeating the Shormat
law conditionally , but In favor of repeal any
how , even If they can get no conditions.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. The senate demo
cratic caucus committee adjourned unti
Monday , having failed to agree upon anj
plan of procedure. The fact that the house
bus agreed und has two weeks discussior
before it relieves the senate of the necessity
for hurry and probably no settled policy wil
bo reached until near tlm-end of the housi
discussion. The finance committee , for the
same reason , is likely not to hurry about re
porting on measures before it ,

Nnw YOIIK , Auf/12. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : liiu.j ) Wull street has had a hard
week. A determined contest has gene on
aetwccn ttio speculative factions , and so fur
as Immediate quotations are concerned the
bulls have somewhat the best of it. They
have rallied aggressively In many quarters
and their work has been skillfull enough
to accomplish a good dual for them.
The bear contingent is still conll-
dcnl that linancial affairs are far from
being cured , and at every opportunity dur
ing the week they sailed into the market.
It looks < is if nest of big short interest
whish lust week had become so large ns to
bo unwelldy has been wiped out. It is prob
able that not ten shares are short now
where 1,000 wore then. The small bear
traders have been squeezed or scared into
covering , the bigger bears were probably out
of way before the little ones began to
scatter.
What the Hulls Count On.
The bull paints are that congress is going
to do something for the relief of llnuncial af
fairs right away : that the Immense Importa
tion of gold from Europe will keiip up , and
this gold , when hero , will remain here ; that
the railways uro practicing economies and
that not earnings are going to bo larger
proportionately than ever before ; that
Europe will bo obliged to buy by
wholesale our grain and produce that Eu
rope , moreover , must bo attracted to our in
vestment circles because quotations are
lower than Europe has seen them before ;
that our own rich men are making similar
purchases on an enormous sjulq ; that the
scare among people who have money and
have been hoarding it is now practically
over ; and tlnully that conlldbnea Hs being
everywhere restored. Upon thesa" theories
some ol more important traders have gene
over to the bull side and have bacoma houvy
buyers of stocks. It is improbable that they
have sold much of what they purchased.
Humor has it that some of millionaire
interests have put vast sums of money nt
the disposal of James H. Kceiio and othot
operators on the bull side. The bull belief is
that it will soon be as fashionable to buy us
lately it has been to sell.
Mucking of the Hears.
The baars meanwhile insist that the bulls
are grasping at straws ; that the gold impor
tation is only a temporary movement , and
that the yellow metal will soon be on ship
board going back to London und Paris. The
whole country has for tnonths"been in ilnan
cial dlst.-ess , they say , and suci troubles at
have been suffered cannot be cared off hand ,
Europe may have to buy our produce bul
it will bo at prices which will nol
net us anything. It is not u bull point , sij ;
the bears , when our farmers have to take
50 cents a bushel for their wheat. The
bears believe , too , that a good many son
spots have not been uncovered. The worsl
is over , they think , so far us concerns the
banking interests , but In the commercial
and industrial world they expect the plncl
to bo much more severe. Free and eas.\
talk is already heard concerning receiver
ship plans for some of the blggcsl
corporations in the east. The facts
that so many people are oui
of work is a point which tlio bear contingent
makes a good deal of , though they lay mon
stress on thu conditions of the 11101103
market.
Wlmt the ltunk Mimt Vnce.
The fact that the New York hanks hav <
lifted their rates rate nn out-of-town loam
to 12 per cent appeals to the bears us sig
nillcnnt of a serious situation in banking
circles. They insist that many millions ,
some place it us high as $30,000,000 , , of rcdis
counts will fall due here the latter tiarl ol
thin month , most of this bolng fqr western
and southern customers who were carrieJ
over early in the summer ,
It is thus to bo scon that substantial dif
ferences of view exist among the important
people in Wall street. That sort of tiling 1 ;
what makes trading. It everybody agreed
nobody could nuke money In Wull street.
Two local bank failut'es hero have rather
.upset the calculation of people who have
been insisting right along that so fur as NCM
York banks uro concerned everything Is a
ease. The failure of the Madison Square
bank came as u surprise , to thu street , MH
tbu laying down toduy.of the Commercial
bank over in Brooklyn was also whollo un
expected. Both are comparatively imall
banks , but both roach out in a good manydi
rections.
H Is not impossible that before the Madl
son Square Incident gets out oftho way that
surprising details may como to the front. li
is intimated that the Clearing House nsso
elation acted toward this bank In a manner
which might bo politely called abrupt , Tht
Madison Square was one of the state's de
positorles , and the fuiluru may toad to some
what more careful scrutiny of batiks whlcl
happen to have been chosen to "carry sucl
state funds. It need not bo , surprising ii
considerable bank history hereabouts i ;

An important Incident of the week lias
been the dissolution of lease relations be
tween the Heading mid liohigh Valley Itall-
road companies. Thu came ns a stir-
piiso to the It-dot , for Important
interests on the. inside were committed
to the poltoy of maintaining this connection.
The insiders were especially devoted to this
policy , for the reason perhaps that it was
proposed by Isaac L.'HIi'e ' to whoso Industry
und intelligence has bdcn duo the shameless
Heading disclosures this year. Mr. Hico has
been insisting that the Lohlgh leoso was a
burden uuon the yjfaialng which was
not only unwarranted , but which must
in continuance do drojuHul hurt to the Head
ing's Interest. Against his suggestion that
the Lohlgh bo divorced , , the Heading in
siders set up under o.th' that the lease was
proiitable. Yet right < bn the heels of this
contention they ordc the luasodiscontinueJ.
This active endorsement of reform policy
proposed by Mr. Ulq'o it sum to result in
pro lit to the security holders of thu Heading
company , oven if it is not the free-will offer
ing of the rather curiouscoterie of financiers
wlio now happen to ' be running Heading at-
fairs. \ *

The South Gorman finance minister ob-
ectcd to the wine tax , while the other
inanco ministers oppjsed the tax on manu
factured tobacco. Consequently , Dr. Mlquol
will negotiate a compromise , according to
the terms of which the wheat tax
will bo dropped provided the duty
on tobacco bo ndoptcd , thus In
creasing the ratio of the value of
tobacco. The inland excise duty now levied
Ijy weight will be abolished , thus making
free of all restrictions the cultivation of to-
btcco. The proposal of greatest Interest to
the foreign importer is tint providing for it
reduction of the tariff on imported tobaccos
The proposal is made with : t view to pre-
veyiting the inferior native products from
crushing these of supjrior quality grown
abroad out of the market. Minister Miquol
ulso desired that a tux bo placed upon ad
vertisements und matches , besides the im
position of a further tax on bam-so trims to-
tions. The KslchstitK , it is expected , will
burst into llatno over the proposals touching
tobacco , matches and advertisements.

General von Wcrdcr , the 'Geirman ambas
sador to Russia , -has been granted an audi
ence by the czar , llo was accompanied by
Count von Schouvaloff , and both of thorn
urged that a commercial entente bo con-
cludcel between Kussia and Germany. It is
reported that Dr. Witte , after thelntervlow ,
declared to the czar that lie would resign
his oflico it the tariff war with Germany
was abandoned without concessions being
mode ; by Germany. Dr. Witto is strongly
supported by the Imperial council and the
czar was obliged to give way to him in the
matter. Thereupon Dr. Witto authorised n
seml-ofUclal announcement by the press
yesterday that the Berlin cabinet would bo
forced to accept the Ilutslan conditions ba-
fore n commercial entente could bo obtained.

LONDON , Aug. 12. The Parnellites' agree
ment to vote for the third reading of the
liomo rule bill hns removed any posslliility
of a Hitch in the last stares. Mr. Gladstone
c.ileulatrs that the bill will leave the Housd
of Commons on Friday a fortnleht hence.
His decision to hold nn autumn session In
order to deal with the popular measured has
caused the liveliest satisfaction in the coun
try , though the majority of the members ol
the house arc not ovorjnycd at the prospect
of a shortened holiday.
The first measure to bo taken up will ho
the employers liability bill , then the eqinll-
zation of rates. The gdvornmsnt will score
on both these ino.isurcs , wliich will prove
the sincerity of its promises of legislation
for the xvoricing classes. Any tory opposi
tion to these measures will only damage
their chances in the urb in districts in the
event of a dissolution , while the rural
electors will bo immensely Inliuunusd by the
parish council bill , which will follow the
rates bill , and on which the government ex
pects to secure u second reading before
Christmas. ,
That the stralnod relations between the
parties in the House of Commons which cul
minuted in the recent fracas have not 1m-
proved , is shown by the fact that owing U
a trifling indifference regarding the arrange. ,
incut for pairs , it is now not possible tc
arrange for pairs ut alt.
A now party Is being formed in tlio House
consisting of moderate conservatives
and liberal unionists who proposetc
act independently of the official

stituto themselves a check on the extrava
gances of both the unionist and radical ex
trcmists. The party will ho styled the
centre party and a nucleus of about twontj
members lias already been formed. They in
tend to oppose the raisins of debates , oxcppl
on substantial issues and will disassociate
themselves from the section of the conserva
tives which has been ousy in attacking esti
mates and questioning ministers on trivia
subjects.

Special to Tun UEE. I European politics ,
hi splto of the dullness which exists every
where , are dominated by three events of
capital importance. The first h the French
general Parliamentary olcctions.whlch takes
place on Auirust UO. So far no troubles have
occurred anywhere , and all the Indications
are that the electoral period will pas5
quietly. The results of the elections will lane
no way change the pjlltlcal situation of the
country , as the same men who satin the last
Parliament will for the most p'trt ho re
turned , for It Is certain that the scandals
wo have recently gene Ihrouirli have pro-
dvccd no effect upon the mass of the people ,
and have only had the result of increasing ;
the circulation of the newspapers.

The second political event of importance is
the International Socialist congress nt
Xurich. The public is also beginning to lese
all interest In this gathering. Tlio socialists
thcio assembled have pronounced many
high sounding phrases , but they have como
to no resolution. They occupied three sit
tings lit discussing whether the scats on the
platform of the hull indicated that these
who occupied thorn had any superiority of
rank over those who filled the seats in the
body of the hall. It seems to mo that it
will be difficult to mulcu any reforms In the
old order of things by menus of such child's
play.
The third event to which I allude is the
aggravated form assumed by the rupture of
the cpmmercial relations between Germany
andJlussia.

torn house tariffs may early become another ,
kind of war if the slightest hostile incident
should occur.
The commercial rupture is n'sj looked
