WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. When the senate
mot this morning the scene was in striking
contrast to the last hour of yesterday's scsnot
slon. Instead of the excitement which propro
vailed on-tho Iloor nnd the Intense interest
manifested In the galleries there was barely
n dozen senators present and the galleries
were practically deserted. The only bill of
public Importance introduced today was ono
by Mr. Morgan , democrat , of Alabama , to
repeal sections 1 and 2 of the act of Juno H ,
1870 , concerning the exchange of coins for
lawful money. 'Iho purpose of iho bill is to
keep silver in circulation and prevent its roOf
turn to the treasury vaults.
Mr. Teller , who this afternoon yielded to a
motion to proceed to executive business , will
bo entitled to tlio floor on Monday.t
When the senate mot Mr. ahoup ( by request -
quest ) Introduced a bill to authorize the conCoi
structlon of an electric road through the
Yellowstone National park. -
The following changes In committees were
announced : Mr. Gary , ropfibllcan , of Wyocoi
mlng , relieved frou the committee on Indian
depredations , and Mr. Proctor , republican ,
.of Vermont , from the committee on Potomac
river front.
Mr. Perkins , republican , of California , was
assigned to the committees on civil service

The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
Poffor , populist of Kansas , calling for information
mation whotjier national banks irt Now
York , Boston and Philadelphia had observed
the law in respect to the maintenance of
their reserves , and whether such banks had
paid their checks "In currency wus lald'bdaa
fore the jenatij , antf'MrPcffer , spolto _ in Us
.advocacy after Mr , MoPhorson , : dcmocrator : <
"
Now Jersey , had moved "its roferenoo to the
finance committee. Mr. PcfTersaid.no desired
the information in the public Interest. Tto
national banks hud'been the pots of the coun '
try since 1873. They had contracted the
currency at will and had dolled the law In
iho matter of their reserve. The business
of the whole country was nt their mercy.
It was high tlmo the people understood nil
about thcso matters. The small banks in
the south nnd the west were not responsi
ble , said Mr. Poffcr , for the condition ot tlio
banking system , but the banks of Boston 't '
Now York and Philadelphia wero. But lit ' I
tle attention was being paid to the populist ' I
senator und , ho observed It. {
Did Not \Vant to Ito Offi-iiklvo.
"I don't llko to bo offensive , but I would
Ilka to have a little better order , " said he.
Senators refrained from conversation fern
n moment and then the buzz of talk and the
reading of correspondence was resumed.
Mr. Poffcr said the banks had been per
mitted by the executive ofllccrs of the
government to openly violate the law. In a
currency famine they were permitted to
issue clearing housa certificates in violation
of law. It was the growing power of the
banks which was alarming the people. He
wanted the subject aired. Ilo and his people
were opiwsed to the further extension of the
privileges of the national banks.
Mr. McPherson , democrat , of Now Jersey ,
renewed his motion to refer the resolution
to the finance committee.
Mr. Voorheos , democrat , of Indiana , said
that If the resolution was referred to the
finance committee proper attention would bono
paid to it.
The hour of 2 o'clock havlns arrived , the j
chair laid beforu the. senate the ropoul bill
and Air. Poffor's resolution wont over until
Monday ,
Mr. Teller ll noinl * ? < l.
Mr. Teller , republican , of Colorado was
rccognl/od as entitled to the floor , but Uo-
fore ho began his remarks Mr. Btowart , re '
publican , of Nevada culled attention to the
absence of a quorum. Tlio roll was called
nnd stilnclcnt senators responding Mr. Teller
proceeded to audrcss the senate. Ho began
Ills speech by reference to the "lectures" lie
was receiving from the non-spapur press ,
nnd the senate was onlorod , said ho , its If
they had masters , to proceed without delib
eration , contrary to the traditions of the
BSimto , contrary to the
principles laid down
in the constitution , to do that which , In the
judgment , It not of a majority , of a res nee table -
blo minority , will bo disastrous. More than :
that , It had been said that tboso who repre
sented states fortunate enough to ba rieli oIn
mineral wealth were pressing their private
interests and , therefore , had no right tool
vote upon the question. Yet ho could recol
lect no Instance of any senator representing
a manufacturing state rising In his place
nnd stating that ho conl.l not vote on a
question nffeotlng the tariff bccauso , his pco-
plo were directly interested In manufactur
ing. He personally hud no Interest In any
liver mining property and ho should not uo
deterred from doing his duty us ho saw It
by any newspaper attacks or by nnv appeals
of chambers of commerce. , . Tlio meeting .ilsof
COO or 000 representatives of boards of trade
in this city on the 1'Jth mst. would bo powerless
less to affect his vote ,
Kdlturlul Crll rUm.
Ho then re/erred to an editorial in the New
York World addressed to himself , calling at-
tcntlon to the small number of pojplo repre
sented by him. Ho
suppjsod that question
had been settled by thu fathers of vho republic -
public ; that the constitution provided that
little states like Delaware , with 150,000 pop
ulation ; Vermont , with less than half the
population of his state-should havu equal
Vcprctcniallon In iho scimto with their
laiger sister states. It seemed to him the
Uuitvd Statt-s wus catering upou a now con-
dltion of things. Were these people In their
hot haste for legislation which was In their
Interest prepared to tear down nnd destroy
the constitution I Who doubled Itt Ilo rep-
rcsflntcd'ti s Into of which ho was proud ,
will moro population than twelve other
states. He denied emphatically that there
was an attempt nn the part of the represen
tatives of the silver states to have the gov
ernment purchase the output of the mines.
Ho also denied most positively that the pub-
\ls \ had expressed their opinion upon the
subject nnd in favor of repeal. The great
metropolitan papers had straiten ; the In
dustrial clnssej had not. They were not
in favor of repeal. The Industrial Interests
had been throttled from an expression of
opinion by tno threat , that money necessary
toha carry on business would bo withheld ;
( hat the threat had been mndo with an
cffrontry that would shame the dovil. As to
what had Induced the house to vote for the
bill , which the artl.-les said were public
opinion , the courtesies duo to the other body
would prevent his stating'his opinion of
what influenced the vote. Ho would leax'o
that to some other place , where ho weld not
be trammelled i by the rules of the senate.
Mot In thu Administration' * Confidence.
Ho was not , said Mr. Teller with sarcasm ,
int the confidence of the administration. Ilo
would read an article , however , from the
New York Herald , which , he had been told ,
wm the closest to the executive. Ho then
read from un Issue of that paper of August
gt ! ) which said that the repeal senators would
not yield an inch on the question of com-
promise , except it bo a mere sugar coating ,
nnd that , said the Colorado senator , "wo got
in | the i act of the committee. "
Ho then read from the New York D.illy
American of today , that late last night
President ( Cleveland sent his ultimatum.
"Exactly how and hi' whom and the exact
terms , " said Mr. Teller , sarcastically , "will
bo revealed to us in due time. " The article
went on to s-iy that Senator Vest , democrat' ,
Of Missouri , was the bitterest man toward
the administration that could bofound in
the country. Mr. Teller said ho would
yield to that senator for any statement ho
desired to make. [ Laughter. ]
Mr. i Vest said that If any ultimatum had
como from the president It wit's unknown to
him and ho undertook to say to any of his
associates ; , however much they might differ
with the president , none of them had over
como to Jtho degrading conclusion that ho
would send an ultimatum to any senator
upon a.subjoot requiring senatorial action.
AS to what was stated in the article about
his ; bitterness , Mr. Vest characterized It as
unconditionally false and product of news
paper imagination.
Tollur'rf Opinion of NcnvipuncrK.
Mr. Toiler said the senator from Missouri
( r. Vest ) could not change his opinion an
to the mendacity of the public press of the
country. The publication of a newspaper
was conducted like the running of a great
manufacturing establishment it wasrun *
for money. Ho did not mean to say that
they were always bought , or even some-
times bougnt , but they did not represent the
public. It was a question of initucnco with
them.
The newspaper statements that people do-
maudcd the repeal of the Sherman act were
aa reliablens the statements which the
senator.frory Missouri had denounced us Un-
" .ondltlo'ually fateoTo'8how'how ; 'mtori'da-
clous they \verc , Mr. Teller said ho had seen
publisned what purported , to bo , a telegram
from the executive to a membor.pf congress ,
congratulating him nud his associates upon
the passage of the repeal bill through the
house. Would anybody toll him that the
president of the United States had boon
guilty of that gross breach of public decency ?
It was a yarn , a newspaper yarn , a newspaper
falsehood.'Tho
paper president of the
United States attempting to procure Icgisla-
tion , having procured it through ono house
from his summer retreat at Buzzard's Bay ,
telegraphing thaMio sent his thanks to Mr.
Wilson , chairman of the committee on ways
and means , and his associates Incompre
hensible , Impossible. "
CiiiKcil tlio Silver 'Men to Smile.
' 'If anybody among the administration
members of my own party thinks ho wants
to defend the press on this particular point
I will glvo way that ho may make the defense -
fenso , " said Mr. Teller , and ho paused , while
a smile lit up the faces of the silver mon.
Mr. Teller said ho
repeated the challenge ?
made In n recent speech for anybody to
show that the Sherman law was responsible
in degree for the
any present financial con
dition , or the conditions which existed
when congress assembled , The act , said
the senior senator from Colorado , had been
made tlio scapegoat. No senator had do
dared that In his judgment tlio present de
plorable condition was caused by the
Sherman act. it was pusillanimous to yield
to public clamor , gotten up by Interested
parties , and repeal an act that senators ad
mitted had nothing to do with bringing
about the condition , and whoso repeal could
not remove the cause , except as tlio giving
of a bread pill to a patient might m.iko him '
think ho was getting well. A bread pill
clvcn to n sick man could not possibly im
prove his condition.
There was a cause for the dlflioulty , de
clared Mr. Teller , It was the course of wis
dom for senators to address themselves to
the cause and not bo carried off their Ot
by public clamor , Uy newspapers , by gibes
and threats , and ba compelled to do that
wtiich they know would not bring the people
-that which they deserved und which they
desired.
Found n Quorum I'rpmir.
It was now * within ten minutes of 8
o'clock , and although apparently a quorum
was present , Mr Pugh , democrat , of Ala
bama , seemed to think otherwise and n call
of the sonata was ordered. Just u quorum , ,
forty-tbrco senators , responded.
Mr. Teller then resumed his speech. To
show the fallacy of the opinion that the
Sherman act was responslb'.o for the dis
tress , ho cltcu trade reports to the effect
that the year Ib'JJ was ono of the most pros
perous in the history of the nation. 33ho
Sherman net had then been on the statute
book two years , The prosperity of the
country during 1803 , IbUl und IblCJ , and , until
a very recent time , was an absolute rctuta-
tion of the charge that the act hud brought ;
ruin to business enterprise in tills country.
The present dls cess was -
not i-onllncd to the |
United States. It had been felt In Great
Britain , Germany and other countries.
Mr. Voorhees , democrat , of Indiana , said
Mr. Teller had signified to him before start
ing that ho was suffering from some inconvenience | -
venienco on account of trouble with his I ,
vocal organs , und If It was agroe.iblo to the ;
senator from Colorado ho would move au
oxt'fUtlvo session.
The motion was agreed to , and after a

NEW Yontc , Sept. I ) . [ Special Telegram to
Tun Br.is.j There have boon some material
changes ! during the last week in conditions
affecting the stock market. Most , of thcso
changes have been encouraging. Others
hnvo been different. Meanwhile the market
has had a boom almost uninterrupted. As
foreshadowed In Tun BBK'S dispatches ,
sentiment has developed quickly in favor of
bullishness. Nearly everybody In Wall
street has become bullish. The professional
circulators huvo loaded up with stocks.
Every little fellow in Wall street hns bought
something. Most of them have hnndsomo
profits on paper. There has , however , been
no where a trace of any Important 'disposi
tion upon the part of outsiders to como into
the ' market. The public continues to hold
aloof.
There Is , perhaps , moro than ono reason
for this. Probably It Is not merely that the
public is suspicious of the current bull
movement , though under the circumstances
that ' ' may bo excused as a not altogether un
intelligent reason. It may be that the public
ls not abto to como Into the market.
Ilarcalu Hunters Hard lilt.
Everybody In this country who owns cor
porate securities oC any sort has boon
obliged during this yo.ir to suffer nn un
precedented value shrinkage. Such losses
have fallen with especial heaviness upon the
class ' ! of people who ordinarily arc on
the qul vivo for bargains in
strcpt. Their recent experience has
however , warned them of the dangers or clso
has loft them unable to act , as formerly has
been their custom. There have been one or
two exceptions , but the ruloof the past week
has boon that any stock could bo advanced
anjl , though this has undlsguiscdly been the
result of manipulation , it Is not to bo denied
that Wall street has enjoyed a spectacle and
has been encouraged by it imtnensolj. If it
has not been a real bull market , it certainly
'
hss'bcen anexcellent imitation.
. < \ "tVhat't'lia-IlulU IMnh On. > . , > . >
The bull arguments nro that stocks are
scarce ; that Investors huvo picked them up
and put them a away ; that Europe , after
having been a seller of our stoclts for three
years , has finally discovered that Wall street
is ono vast bargain counter : that there is a
tremendous short interest in the market ;
that quotations have been pounded to un
warrantably low figures , and that stocks no
longer uro pressed upou the market by
holders In distress. The bull con
tingent lays stress , too , on the
claim that while our prain crops this
year may show decreases , compared
with our big years , yet none the less wo
shall have a product large enough to permit
of shipments abroad by wholesale , where
European markets will bo ready for every
bushel of wheat or corn wo can export. Iho
greatest emphasis , however , is laid upon the
prospective repeal of the stiver buying law.
Unconditional repeal is certain , so Wall
street believes.
AU this is counted upon as certain
v
to influence- European confidence
in the conservatism and honesty
of the American financial policy.
It is , moreover , the expectation of the hope
ful Wall street crowd that though repeal
goes through the senate as it has through
the house without conditions tucked upon it
there will none the less bo other legislation
immediately after which will amount to in
flation , through some ono of tlio dozen
schemes for turning out moro mosey which :
have been brought to the front down In
Washington. This is the bull sldo of the
story.
rmiltnlsm Ntllt Pot-lulu * .
Upon the bear- side for there nro still
boars , and Important ones It is contended
that the present boomlness is merely a pars
ing Incident ; that it Is unwarranted by any
facts which have developed ; that it hangs
merely on a lot of intangible hopes. According
to the boars the tier
ing unconditional silver
repeal bill can signify mere contraction
to the extent of { .W.OOO.OOO n year.
Our crops , they point out , will not ir.bo
more than three-quarters of an ordinary
harvest , and that oven If wo had full crops
and were uulo to shin by wholesale abroad ,
wo still would bo making little money out of
such a movement for the reason that wo are
getting-but little more than half of what
have hitherto been regarded as fair prices.
Hallway rates- , meanwhile , uro at a mini
mum. ,
As ta European confidence to bo engen
dered by legislation at Washington and for
any other reason , the bears insist that Europe -
rope Is bankrupt ; that it has parted with
American securities not because it wanted
to particularly , but because it had to. As to
financial legislation supplementing the re
peal of the Sherman bill , there is little probability >
ability say tlio bears , of anything definite
being determined for months to como. They
make much udo over the proposition touchIng -
Ing state banks , to which some Now York I
newspapers , friendly to the administration ,
hnvo been claiming that President Cleve
land is committed.
Only rixylni ; u Fuel.
The bears deny , of course , that there is
much short interest In tho. market. Their
retort ls llml every little follow with a 2
cent margin has loaded up In millionaire
style , und that the present boom is u moro
card house , likely to go tumbling at any
moment. The biggest bear of all and the
man who always makes less noign about his I
bcarlshncss than anybody else summarizes
the situation In this way :
"Wall street has dropped Into the habit ol
operating on fads. A coupla of months ago
wo had the /ad of tight money. Business
had been brought to n standstill and mcr- ,
chants and manufacturers were never going
to bo able to borrow funds any moro. The
stock market pricas went to smash. Now
wu have the fad of easy money. The funds
ftro close nt hand. Jlofrowors nro going to
bo able togotnnj'JhtnKthoy ' want. Quota
tions have boon. . boontoi upward. Before
long wo will havp another fad. The next
ono will bo b.isod . ufxJn bad railroad earn
. " .
ings. i j
Reared ljyrltnllfonl Flenro < .
The matter of railroad earnings Is likely
to cut an Important figure from this tlmo on.
Some of the figure , ' given out this week by
thu big corporationbavo been dreadful. So
far the stock market has ignored them. The
Missouri Pacific , soiling around $ } 0. sent In
n report for AURUstWUh n decrease crawling
up close i to $1,000,000 , ns compared with the
same month of last y'ehr. Forthwith the slock
jumpcdupthreoorfour points. How naturally
this may bo anybody can judge. Prom
every section of the country \vo nro be
ginning to got ovldenco of shrinkage Jn rail
way traffic. Efforts have been made during
recent months to economize. The business
contraction will huft tlio railroads moro than
anything also. It is tb the credit of most of
the well managed roads , however , that they
seem to bo nwarb of iho situation and are
husbanding ! their resources to the utmost.
A" over the country there Is a disposition
to put cconoriilchl administration in
the affairs of the great b'K corporations.
The advantage in this will bo that when
times do improve , and the railroads will begin
to earn i big money , their net earnings will
grow with great rapliltty , for the reason that
economics once instituted are likely to bo
maintained ,
Ono of tlie SlRallleant Incidents.
Something of the fboilng of unrest which
has boon developed oh the Inside of some of
our conspicuous corporations was disclosed
in the affairs of the Evansville & Terre
Haute road this week -\vhen , tothe
surprise of a lot of the insiders ,
a receivership was precipitated. This sort
of tlilug may bo duplicated In other quarters ,
for ono of the results of the recent crucial
times has boon the engendering of sus
picion in almost pyory quarter. And In
some instances , besides the Evansville &
Tcrro Haute , there ' is internal warfare in
mportant corporations. Ucculvcrshlps can
bo obtained so easily , nowadays that when
real war does .bretvk 'out on the InsldooT
railroad protfiirt.v1' tnero are serious chances
of discouraging results. The Head
ing company has loomed into
conspicuousncss again , this week.
It looks as If important Interests in the
property were dlsp0sddto make an agercs-
slvo light against the present receivership
management. Grave charges are preferred
against thcso manaL'iirs ' i , and it is not at all
improbable that th6j * opposition „ , under the
leadership of Isaac Effipob ? , will accomplish
important results.

STnAsnuno. Sept. 0. The emperor of Ger
many arrived at 10 o'clock this morning.
His majesty alighted from the Imperial train
nt the Ncufeld station , which was brilliantly
decorated for the occasion. A guard of
honor ; of cavalry and Infantry surrounded
tin station nud troops lined the way to the
review grounds. The emperor looked well ,
and after exchanging greetings with the
military authorities gathered to moot him ,
me his horse amid n storm of cheers
an , surrounded by a largo aud Hashing staff
followed by a guard of cavalry , rode to the
reviewing grounds , greeted on all sides with
acclamations of welcome.
On ( the review ground the emperor found
the Fifteenth army corps drawn up In full
pa order. A grand stand just behind
th reviewing point had been erected and
flagged and festooned in the most elaborate
' inanner ; possiblo. Tlio Hag of Germany aud
the Imperial court of arms were every
where conspicuously displayed. This
grand stand was largo enough to
accommodate thousands of people and
itth was packed to the utmost with
the notables of the city of
Strasourg and Its neighborhood. Among
those present on the grand stand today wore
many who remembered the terrible scenes
brought about in Strasburg in 1S71 , when
the city surrcnacrod to the Germans after a
month's bombardment. To many of them ,
undoubtedly , this gorgeous i-oviow about the

From the reviewing grounds the emperor

The emperor was thoroughly pleased with

ho repaired to the huge tent previously re

'ANOTHER MASTERY.
Kody of it Hack Driver I'oiiiul Floating In
tlio Itlvcr.
The badly decomposed body of n man was
found about 7 o'clock yesterday morning In
the Missouri river at a point about ono mile
north of the water works.
The discovery was ma lo by William John
son , who \viiB\out fishing. Ho promptly
secured the body by means of ti wire near
the shore.
'Coroner Maul was at once notified , and
after a search of several hours succeeded In
finding the spot about 2 o'clock In the after
noon. After calling a jury nnd viewing
the remains It was decided that Immediate
burial was necessary. At the Inquest
nothing now was brought out and the jury
therefore returned a verdict that no cxtoriial
violence had been inflicted upon ttio un
known dead man.
Later in the day , however , It developed
that the body thus found was that of
Charles IJurtinaii. a hack driver , known by
the name of "Swcdo Charlie.1' There was
evidently some suspicion.- ; circumstances
surrounding the disappearance and subse
quent death of the man , who was last seen
alive Tuesday evening.
The story , as told the police last evening
bjr several of tito dead man's friends , was to
the effect that Burtman had an altercation
with another hackinan on the night of Ills
disappearance. '
that George Conart , nn'cmployo' '
OfW Mr.-KockcfollOVr , la the name of the man
who fought with Burtmntl on that evening.
BurtmanT j'ocoivccl serious injuries in the
'tqht-.whch ! . ! took * place in the alloy at the
rear ot the Turf saloon about 8 o'clock cm
n.tl
the night in question.
Conart was last evening arrested by the
police nnd uoolroit with being u suspicious
character.
It also developed that Burtman had a
brother In Lincoln , who is in charge of the
Opera House saloon , His parents reside near
Salt Lake City.
The coroner Immediately notified the
brotherat the Capital city , but up to a late
hour lust night ho liaa failed to receive any
response. Oareful inquiry nmonc hack
drivers nnd at the Turf saloon , where the
deceased was reported to have been seen
on last Tuesday night , elicited the
fact that a iig'ht had taken place
and that Burtman
. had received a
badly battered head and bruised face after
the ] encounter. The cause , of thu quarrel Is
unknown. After washing off the blood , in i
ono of the rear rooms of ttio saloon last ,
Tuesday , Iiur'.mm : _ talked somewhat In u
rambling manner , "ns if affected by the
blows , nnd Implored those who proffered
him assistance to leave him alone , saying
that ho wanted no doctor.
Ono ol the blows appeared to have been
inllictcd with something harder than the
bare fist. It caused a wound in the temple
near the right eye and this scorned to bo the
ono from which ho suffered most.
It was also reported that the dead man
had taken a drink , afterwards saying that
this would bo his last ono , but investigation
failed to substantiate tills rumor.
How the deceased , who Is nboutHO years of
ago and who rented the horse and carriage
ho always drove , got to the rlvnr that night
is a mystery. Ho Is said to liitvo been drink
ing moro or less that day and night und lets
vehicle was , consequently , not used by him
during that time.
The remains will probaoly bo oxhumnu as
soon as the dead man's brother arrives from
Lincoln.

The visit will bo an imposing manifesta

bond an additional German
squadron to the

The diplomacy of Germany is also work-

Lord Koscbsry , angered by the Slam affair ,
may yet yield to thcso solicitations. The
* relations bntwccn Franco nnd Italy nro a lit-
tlo less strained , but n revival of the dispute
growinir out of the Alguos-Mortes incl-
dent is still to bo feared. To sum up ,
the political situation in Kuropo continues to
grow darker , but It h possible that some
favorable gale may suddenly disperse the
gathering clouds. It Is also possible that
the seriousness of the situation is not visible
to the general public , but I i-an safely afllrm
that diplomatists think that the horizon is
