SENATOR HILL STARTLES THE SENATE Ho Demit- * Hid Attitudes on Flninolnl Qur- tlonn nnil Ilcclnru * II1 Independence of Admliilitr.ttloii liilluniioo Vti t' Arraignment of UnrUnle. D. C. , Aug. 05. The first Unpleasantness over the silver debate oc curred this morning.- When Mr. Burrowi of Michigan started to speak ho asked an ex tension of his tlmo to forty minutes. Mr. Bland objected , unless the same priv ilege was granted Mr. Marsh , who was to follow Mr. Burrows. It was agreed that Mr. Marsh should have forty minutes also.- Mr. Marsh , however , declared bo only wanted thirty minutes , whereupon Mr. Bland Insisted that Mr. Burrows should be limited also. Mr. Burrows renewed his re- qunst for forty minutes und Mr. Bland again objected. Then Mr. Burrows stated that If ho was to bo limited to thirty minutes ho would not speak at all. This announcement was greeted with a round of npplauso from the republican sldo and Mr. Burrowa took his seat. Several members gathered around Mr. Bland , and after some coaxing the latter withdrew his objection and Mr. Burrows proceeded. When the house mot the silver debate bate was resumed. Mr. Pendloton of Texas nnd Bowers of California spoke In favor of free coinage. Dockory of Missouri , nnd Moon of Michigan for bimetallism. Cobbof Alabama opposed unconditional re peal. Burrows of Michigan advocated repeal , opposed free coinage , nnd laid the blame for the present financial distress at the door of tlio democratic party , saying that the finan cial distress wus the result of the fears of tbo manufacturers regarding tariff leglsla tlon. lie contrasted the condition of the country , as shown in President Harrlsotr's lust message nnd in President Cleveland's message to the cxtr.i session. Marsh of Illinois opposed the Wilson bill and favored free colnngo. Compton of Missouri spoke for unconditional repeal. Money of Missis sippi spoke against repeal. Hprliior' Arzumtnt Durborow of Illinois favored repeal. Ho was followed by Springer who began with a review of the existing financial conditions nnd sot forth the duties which lay ' on congress to apply the remedy. lie declared that the tbreo leading controlling causes of the present conditions were tariff legislation since the war , the demonetization of silver In 187 ! ! mid silver purchases under the authority of the Sherman act. The treasury rulings In regard to silver certificates issued for silver bullion purchased made them redeemable in gold , ns tbls was fho only way In which tlio government could make good Us pledge to maintain the purity of gold and sliver. The fuct that stiver bullion was hold us collateral for' tll'o redemption of silver ccrtillcUcs added nothing to their value. Tnat value depended on the pledge of a maintenance on a parity with cold und the fact that the certificate * wcro full legal tender. The demonetization of silver in 1H7H did uot destroy silver as much us the Sher man act. In sixteen years from its passage silver , depreciated SM 4-10 per cent. In throe years slnco the passage of the Sherman act It had fallen ' > per cent. The speaker continued , stating tr-at the presi dent had called congress in extra session for the solo purpose of repealing the pur chasing clause of the Sherman uct. Would congress refuse to comply with this Universal demand till an agreement hud been made to do something else on some other matter ? It was just us reasonable to demand that the tunff bill . bo in cluded In tbo bill for the repeal of the Sherman act us tlio romonoti/.ation of silver. The rcmonetizutlon of silver In this country at u ratio of 11) to 1 would either brine the nation down from a gold standard or advance the price of silver bullion to the coinage value of the silver dollar. If tbo former , It would result In a financial crisis eimparcd with which the present depres sion would bo us n zephyr to n cyclone. JlundrcdsHof millions of foreign capital Invested In this country would bo withdrawn our credit destroyed and wo would sink to the condition of Mexico , India , China und wo would also bo thrown out of harmony with the great commercial powers which buy nearly $800,000,000 worth of our products. There is no ground for the declaration that t , unless frco coinage Is incorporated in this i measure silver will bo deserted alike by con gress nnd tbo president. The presi dent's record Is not such as to justify the belief that ho will prove false to bis plcdccs. The speaker believed that the president and the. senate alike would join In keeping their pledges to the people"for such a tneasnro for the use of silvoras would justify the expecta tions of the American people. Air. Hryiiu'B Opinion. Mr. Bryan said the United States alone could not adopt free coinage. The people demanded the repeal of the Sherman law anel'ho would vote for repeal. Mr. SIckels favored repeal and Mr ; Taylor spoke for bimetallism. Mr. Brecklnrldge of Arkansas said that while ordinarily ho might not occupy the position ho now did , ho would , under tlio cir- cuniHtunces , vote for the repeal of the Sher man act. Mr. Molina believed the parity of gold nnd silver , could bo maintained by judicious legis lation and attributed the present depression to the Mclvlnloy luw. Mr. Dolllver did not think the Sherman net was the cause of the troubles of the country. Ha laid it to the democratic tarlll policy. While he had no confidence In the remedy proposed , ho was not willing to deprive privo the business community of such con eolation ns might come to ii from thu uppll cutlon of the faith cure. [ Appluuso.j Mr. Kichimlson of Tennessee advocated free colnngn at any ratio. The rules of the IIOUHO were reported unii without being read were ordered printed. Mr. Simpson of Kansas usuod consent foi consideration of n resolution authorizing tin speaker to appoint a committee to luvcstl gate ttio allegation that certain banks wen not paying their checks luul to Inquire inU the condition of these I anks. The speaker doubted if the resolution wai in order and tbo house took n recess untl 8 o'clock , Tno debate will close tomorrow Kvi'lllllir Koxlun. At the evening session Herman , ronub lican , of Oregon , spoke against the Wusoi bill und In favor of tbo free e-olnugo o silver , and Branch , democrat , of Nortl Carolina , followed In the same lino. Bynutn democrat , of Indiana , then took the floor am replied to Pence's speech of yesterday. .McKeighan of Nebraska und Doollttlo , re publican , ofWashington , approved th Wilson bill , Huhck , republican , of Ohio , ndvocatoi bimetallism nnd charged tne present dc presslon upon the democratic party for It attitude on the tariff.

The chic Interest of tbo senuto today was in th speech of Senator Hill , who defined bis pos tlou on the financial question in an addrei of nearly two hours duration. Nearly over member was In his scat aud an attoutlv listener , and many uiombeis of the hous crowded over to hear the New Yorker. The No IT Vorkor'i famous declaration ' " am a democrat , " wblob has become pit verblal. was recalled today by his forcible declaration on the flttanuint question , when , as usual , he gave his views In n sentence. "I am a blmotalllst , ' ' said ho. ' ! do not be lieve In n stnglo gold standard or n single silver standard , but I elo believe In the use of both trold and silver as tbo standard money of the country , and In their frco coin age at a proper ratio nnd without disci 1ml- nation In favor of ono or against the other. " Cnuurd n Hmlln. % The senator established his consistency on the silver question by showing that last De cember ho Introdtifod n bill for the uncon ditional repeat of the Sherman net , and the president Imd followed In Ins footsteps In demanding the repeal of this law a law which Senator Hill declared to have bcnn the worst enemy ot the frco silver cause In retarding the onward march to universal frco coinage. There wan a smile on the face of many senators when the spoiknr , by Im plication , criticised the president by refer ring to the part the high tariff had played In this crisis , and concluding by saying : "Our march Is onward and wo shall not re treat. " Senator Hill's arraignment of the gold monomctalllsts , particularly Wall street , for the part they had taken In bringing on tbo present crisis by attacking the credit of the country and incessantly proclaiming disas ter until they finally started a panic wave that now threatened to engulf Us creators , win ono of thu most forcible Impeachments over hoard on the floor of the senate nnd furnished much satisfaction to the frco coin- ape men. The national banks got consola tion In ttio later declaration that ho favored the nroposltlon to allow the Issue of national bank notes to bo Increased to the full value of the bonds on deposit. Tha chief surprise ot the speech of Mr. Hill wns the por.itton In minimizing the im portance of the revision of the eolnace ratio and bis suggestion that International bi metallism might bo sought by holding out an inducement to the Latin union. Thcro was a dead stillness in the scmito when the sena tor referred to the statement that Mr. Cleveland was trying to lead tbo country to monometallism. Fool of the Adtnlnlttratlon I'li'iiscil. "I shall refuse , " said ho , "to follow In the footsteps of any administration that socks to place the democratic party In a false posi tion ; that sucks to lead It away from demo cratic principles and Into tbo very camp of the enemy. Thu president must rely upon republican votes to carry out any such policy. " The folecltutlon of the democratic oppon ents of the administration over this remark was hardly completed before the senator gave the president another blow In his reference to the part that patromigo Is said to bo playing in securing tbo adoption of the administration policy. ' But as you well know , " said ho , "I was for the repeal of this bill long before the present administration came Into power , and by my voice , pen and Influence ; , con tributed my humble share toward the crea tion of that sentiment In regard to it which is well nigh unanimous In my state. My colleague and myself will cheerfully vote for this bill 'unawed by power and uucor- runtcd by federal patronage.1" This last allusion brought forth evidences of approval and merriment , and before the vice president could check It , tbo laughter und applause broke out and it wus not stopped for some time. Vest sent to the clerk's desk and had Toad a communication from the director of the mint , giving statistics us to tbo quantity of silver bullion purchased slnco 1873 , the date of the Blaud-Allhan act , Us cost , amount coined , etc. Vest summed up all these figures to show that If nil the sil ver dollars and subsidiary silver coins wcro recolncd at the ratio proposed in tbo bill (20 ( to 1) ) there would still be n profit to the treasury on the whole silver transaction since 1878 of over $ lf > , ' " ' 0.000. He intimated pretty broadly that Carlisle in his letter to Senator Voorhoos on the same subject had not treated the subject fairly. Sountor Hill' * Sprocli. Senator Hill then took the floor. Ho said thcro were those who did not agree wholly with the president In his diagnosis of the malady of the body politic , nor hastily join in tlio roseate view of the financial millennium to como the moment the Sherman law is removed. Some believed the disease had Jits foundation in 187i : , when tbo government laid aside its financial policy , which existed from the foundation ot the re public. "The existing financial disturbance , " said Mr. Hill , ' -may bo attributed to threocauses : First -It is a natural or inevitable result of many years of fictitious prosperity. The student of history knows financial panics occur about every twenty years , and our country has not been an exception to the general rule. "Second Some portion of the present trouble may bo traced to a coticortaJ effoit by numorotis-monomotalllsts to produce It In order to further discredit silver. With ghoulish glee they welcomed every bank fail ure , und especially In the silver ptatos. En- couraglug the hoarding of money , llioy In- auguratcd the policy of refusing loans to the people , even upon good security ; they circu lated false petitions , passed absurd and i alarming resolutions , predicted the direst dlsuster , attacked the credit of the govern ment , sought to srot a premium on currency and tried in every nay to snroad distrust in 1 thu country. These disturbers tlicso promoters - motors of the public peril represent lamely the creditor class , the men who dcsiro to ap preciate the gold dollar in order to subserve tholrown selfish Interests. "Third The Sherman silver purchasmp law bus been , at least in part , possibly the most largely instrumental in producing the complications. Now no ono defends It. The I'Olltlcal party men who enacted It seem now the most anxious for its repeal. It was a violation of every correct principle ol monetary science. It wits not even an lion orablo compromise. It was a makeshift , r subterfuge , a moro temporary expedient The president , in his message , not desiring at this time , for obvious reasons , to offend the sensibilities of these who had voted foi it , called it tru > ; o. Clrvoliind Again Criticised. "It bus been said the nrosidont In his hos tllity to frco coinage was disposed at om tiino to regard with favor provisions of tin Sherman law , which had been tbo mourn by which free coinage bud bcei defeated.i Whether this be so 01 not , tlio fact remains , .and has no escaped observation , that while , tlii democratic platform denounced.tho Sliormat law and demanded Its repeal denounced ii not ns u result of a 'truco , ' but as i 'cowardly makeshift' yet Mr. Cleveland neither In his speech at Mudlsou Kqnnn gardcu , Now York , In answer to the tiotlci of his nomination , nor In his later letter o acceptance , nor in his Inaugural address criticised the Sherman law , nor miido an ; allusion to it whatever , although it wn already threatening the prosperity of tin country with the dangerous results of it : operations , which were apparent to over , ono who had given the subject careful utten lion. " Continuing , Mr , Hill alluded to the fac that Ills views of the dangerous charade of that act had boon entertained and re pontodly expressed over slnco its passage on naming various occasions during the can palgn of Ib'.ti , when ho sought to arouse th people to the dangerous possibilities of th Sherman law und to the importance of it repeal. "I am a blmotalllst , " ho said , "I don't bi liovo In u sinilo gold standard or u slngl silver standard , but I do believe in the na of both gold und silver for money and I their free coinage at u proper ratio , wltbou any discrimination In favor of ono ugnlnt the other. And as such a blmotalllst , 1 five the ropcul of the Stierraau law , because it I illoglcul , dangerous In Us tendencies , In pedlmontal to free coinage , and a disgrace t tbo silver cause.

She Declare * that Lord lrnuicls Hope I Her llnslmmt. [ Copiirtgliteil 1S33 hu James Gonlnn JJomcU.l LONDON , Aug. 23. fNow York Herald Cable Special to Tun BEE.J Some excitement was lately created in theatrical and other circles by a rum6r that Lord Henry Fran cis Hope had married Miss May Yohe , the burlesque actress , rather better known In America than London. As far as I can ascertain , tbo rumor originated in a direct statement of ono of the parties intimately concerned. This was Miss Yoho herself , whose evidence might bo thought conclusive were it not for t'ho fact that this is not the first tlmo she has claimed to have entered into the bonds of matrimony and found it dllllcult to support that claim , while It Is said by some who ought to know that at ono period of her checkered career sbo posszssod a bona fldo husband from whom sbo lias never boon legally soparatdd. On tbo other hand , Lord Hope's friends and family strenuously assort that such nonsense cannot bo considered. The man of course , It Is not denied , has for a long tlmo taken a peculiar Interest in the young woman's professional career at least and It Is to his squandcrii ; lur o sums of money to advance her fortunes on the stage that his present unfortunate pecuniary con dition Is duo. I saw today a well known American comic opera actress , wno sails for homo Saturday , who said : "May Yoho told me herself that she murriod Lord Hope , but did not outer into particulars whore the marriage took place. Of course , I know th.oy were very Intlmato friends , but am not so sure that they wore married in spite of her " own statement. " Ono of Lord Hope's relative * said to mo that foolish a ? the boy had been , ho has not committed that crowning net of folly. Ho spent all the ready money ho could ralso helping theatrical ventures with which this actress was connected and will find it difficult to ralso more just at present. The family consulted about the matter and his mother agreed , I believe , to give him $200,000 on tbo sole condition that no break off absolutely forever this connection. FUANCK'a UNJUST Dli.MANOS.

SAM'I O'l'OSKX round Not Gulltjr by a Han Franclico Jury of til" oii rjr ( of Murder. SAN FHANCISCO , Aug. 25. The Jury In the case of M. B. Curtis , "Sam'l O'Poson. " for the murder of Policeman Grant , returned n verdict shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon of acquittal. The jury on the first ballot stood nine to three for acquittal. This Is tbo third case of Curtis. The jury in the first two trials disagreed. The crime for which Curtis was thus tried for the third time was the murder of an old aud popular policeman named Alexander Grant on September 10 , Ib'Jl. The otllcor was found dead at 1 o'clock In the morninc Hi Fifth and Folsom streets , In the very heart of the city. Curtis wus ut once ar rested as he wuu running from the body and tbo officer's police nippers "were found clasped on tbo prisoner's wrist. A number of per sons were In the vicinity at the time of the shots and a revolver , supposed to belong id Curtis , or "Sum'l o Posen. " was found In the sand near the corpse. The theory of the prosecution in every trial was that Curtis bad been an csted for some offense committed while drunk , aud that rather than bo disgraced ho reached to his hip pocket for a revolver , with his loft hand , und killed Grant. In support of this theory a number of persons who heard the quarrel preceding the three fatal shots , and who saw the Hashes , were produced , Some wcro looking from windows dews , and others were on their way homo from theaters. Those positively swore there were but two men in the quarrel. The defense's theory from the outset was that the crime was committed by a myste rious third person to the defendant un known , but who was arrested with Curtis. Two reputable ladies on their way homo from a theater , corroborated by a teamster who wus looking from a socoud-story window , swore that there were three persons In the quarrel , and that one , not Curtis , said , "Lot me alonol I've done nothing I" after which nhots were heard , and ho rau past the ladies to the northvard , a direction opposite that taken by Curtis. At the first trial the jury disagreed and when the second trial was nearly completed ft juror very suddenly died. The only now evidence at the third trial was that of Mrs. Curtis that the revolver found in the eand was not her husband's aud thai she gave him (210 the night of Grand murder. The defense's theory was thai Grant' murderer robbed Curtis. The trla was largely attended by the jiublic , ant thcro was even moro Intoro trials.

The consequence Is the south and west nro solidifying to resist tlio policy that would make of Now York a sort of money dcjpot In the republic. It will not bo lonft before Washington will cease to bo the national capital. The people of the west see that Now Yorkers have altogether too much Inllucuco In Washington. Why should the westerners bo compelled to travel night and day to a far-away capital that Now Yorkers can roach In a few hours ? Wo westerners would remove the seat of government to St. Louis In fifteen minutes If wo had the votes nnd wo will have them at no very remote tlmo.

Before many yours Chicago , which is ah American city nnd not like Now York , will bo the money power , as well us the metropolis of tuo re public. New York Is about as big as It will ovur bo , although consolidation with other cities may enlarge It. The main objoot of westerners Is to wrest from tlio east Its untiuu intlncr.cc In national affairs. Wo mean to have the next president from the west. Wo tnlnk the old parties urea a bo in on their last logs and , depend upon It , congress will not repeal the Sherman law until a substitute * equally favorable to silver mon Is found and adopted. It is my firm belief that our national prosperity is bound ill ) in the destruction of Now York City's dangerous power. The people there euro moro for the beauties of the Alps than for thu Hookies. They form nil aristocracy with u dangerous Influence. Thus it is. the east und the west have boon steadily drifting apart for years. " "What will bo the outcome of this ? " . "Compromise. The east will bo obliged to como down from Us hich borao. Then the honest , patriotic people on both sides will put their heads together r.nd do what is best. Wo populists believe the real people of the cast want simply justice nnd do not wish to injure the west. After all , we nro Americans , every one. Unfortunately , capitalistic influence , improperly exerted , stifles freedom in Now York , und through .Now . York , all over tlip eastern seaboard.
