The whole transaction , from tlie incipiency of the move under this administration for the abolition of the land olllces in Nebraska and the manner In which the slate was drawn up naming tlie ofllees to he abolished and the distribution of tlio territory , is shown tiy tlie tiles of the Interior depart ment to have ' been guided by "iiulitical in- lcreals'and the protests which have been Hlea have so far hail no more eflcct in official circles than water poured upon a duck's back.

WASIII.MITOX , Oct. C. No better illustra tion of the intense interest of the country in the proceedings of the senate could bo fur nished than that which Is afforded at thecap- itol dally by the contrast bet ween the interest taken in events in the two houses of con gress , says a morning paper. When it was lirst proposed to take up the bill for the re peal of the federal elections law in Iho house it will bo remembered that the most earnest advocates of tliu repeal of tlio silver purchase law were opposed to doing so , feurimr thai the debate on the elections law would tend to distract attention from tlio monetary question ami would stir up a parti san feeling that would tend to dampen liic anlor of some of the republican senators whoso votoi would be needed If the repeal biil is lo pass. Sucli has not been the case. lowevur ; day after day the attention of the country bus been conccntriilcd on llio senate. Tlio galleries have been crowded vitli spectators listening to dry argumcnls m tbe money question , and the newspapers ill over the country have devoted column if tor column to reports of Hie proceedings i ml comments on the situation. In the ncunlime there has been in progress al tlio oilier cud of Ihe capitol , almost unnoticed , a debate that , under any oilier circum stances , would attract iho widest attention. I'lio fundamental question al issue is llm trope.r interpivtatioii of one of the most niportant provisions of the constitution. 1110 question is now inr the consti tution permits thu general government lo interfere In elections in the states , a Iiieslion in llio abstract almost us dry as [ he money queslio'i , hut the.collateral prac tical quesllons growing out of it giving op portunity for some of the most Pitterly partisan speeches that have been delivovod in cither house or congress since tbo repub licans atleniplcd in Ihu Fifty-lhMi cougivss to still further extend fho powers of the federal govorumeul in elections by tbo passage of Iho forcu bill Thoao speeches that would ordinali be listened to with ihoclosest attention , and would be reported fully in all tho'nowsp.ipers.uronow delivered to empty seats on the tloor , and galleries descried nx-'opt by the crowd of loafers who are always to be seen In the. men's gallery. The newspapers give the debate tlio briefest mention , and apparently no one eures , whether it goes on or not-all this means that thu country Is very much lu earnest on thompimtruy question ami has no pa liimco for any other legislation us lon M llio repeal - peal bill hangs in the senate. .

YESTERDAY'S ' DEBATE OF MUCH INTEREST Mr. Uuttrr .1Iikm ; n flci for tlio llpinov : l ol thn Tux on Ktnto Itnnks 0 t of tliu IlL'ixirintlon , of Ulilunsc. WASHIXUTOV , Oct. 0. In the senate toddy Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky submitted an iimctidmcnt to the bill repealing the stiver purchasing clause of the act of 1SIO. It strikes out the Voorhees substitute , leaving the bill us It passed the house , and then provides for tlio free coinage of silver of American production. The secretary of the treasur.v is authorized on tlio first day of each month to establish the saejnorage to bo charged for the following month , which Is to bo the different ; ) ) between tlio market price and the minted value after coinage. Tliis seignorago is not to bu coined , but is to. bo sold by tbo secretary of the treasury for gold , to bo used for the purpose of maintain ing Hie parity of gold and silver. This is the amendment which Mr. Blackburn , In his recent speech , said he would propose with a view to reaching a compromise. The debate on the repeal bill was contin ued by Senator Call of Florida and Senator Butler of South Carolina , botli of whom op posed the bill. Mr. Butler devoted the largest part of ills speech today to an argu ment In favor of the repeal of the tax on state Dank circulation , talcing the position that the tax was unconstitutional. This led to a debate participated In by Senators IJolph , Allison , Sherman and others. Teller resumed his speech against tlio repeal bill , commenced some tlmo ago. . , Oust "f DoporllliK Clitnoftn. A document from the Treasury department was laid before the senate supplemental to tlio recent letter of that department in re lation to the appropriations necessary for the execution of the Chinese exclusion act. The document gives a revised estimate of the cost of the deportation of the Cnineso now in the United States , in uocordrneo with the provisions of the Geary law. The statement is supplementary to that of Sep tember 12. and liu-eases the estimate of the total appropriation necessary from $0,000,000 to 310.KI5K)0. : ( ) A portion of this Increase , &l , : BOlHa. ) is due to the fact that the steam ship companies have increased their rates for the transportation of Chinese from San Francisco to Honit Kong from $3 , > to $ ol. The remaining portion of tlio increase is due to thu fact that the first estimate did not include tbo expenditures in the courts. The lirst auditor of the treasury says that $35 per capita will bo a low o timato of the cost under this head in California , while the amount will bo igreatly increased in other status. As nn example of the maximum of such costs , the auditor instances the Ice of a United States marshal in a deportation case in that state , in which the fee is150. . Tile auditor thinks $70 a fair average of such costs , outside of the expense of continumont. which Is from BO cents to f I per djy : and would therefore increase the amount neces sary indelinitely. Mr. Gorman , democrat , of Maryland pre sented a memorial signed , lie said , by the loading merchants of Baltimore , represent ing , he supposed , two-thirds of the trade and commerce of that city , praying for speedy action on tlio repeal bill. Allen AiKo lor fiir rmtttton. Mr. Allen , populist , of Nebraska offered a resolution , which went over , calling for In formation as to whether the government , since Murcli , 1S75 , bad borrowed any money. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Peffcr for a select committee to inquire what legislation is necessary to Improve tlio banking system of tbo country was then taken up and Mr. Stewart , republican , of Nevada spoke upon it. He confined himself to a criticism of the secretary of the treas ury for fuillnir to purchase 4r , > 00,000 ounces of silver per month and wont over much of tlio ground heretofore covered by him. Mr. Blackburn , democrat , of Kentucky , sent to the desk nnd had read the umrtiidnisnt intended to bo proposed by him to the repeal bill. It provides for the free coinage of silver of American production on and after January , 1S'J4. Tlio debate on tlio resolution for a commit tee to inquire into the banking system was referred to the committee on finance by a vote of ! 25 .yeas to 8 nays. The resolution offered some days since by Mr. Morgan , democrat , of Alabama , in- structinjf the committee on Judiciary tore- port whether any of the provisions of the coinage act of lt 17 are in force.was laid before the senates and agreed upon without discussion. Tniilf Up tliii Kpprill Hill. 'Ihe rcnoal bill was taken up nt 12tT : ! > , and Mr. MoPhcrson , democrat , of New Jersey , gave notice ho would address the senate upon tlio bill next Monday. Mr. Call , democrat , of Florida , tooic the lloor and resumed his speech against tlio bill begun on Wednesday. Ho referred to' tlio importance of the sutiject. and spoke of the great interest manifested in the debate by the American people. Mr , Call said the senate was called upon to act without reason , and not to perform the function Imposed upon it. It Is called on to rush through a bill repealing the only inothod by which there could bo an increase of iho currency of the country in metal inouev. Against this ho protested. Mr. Call made a long argument in favor of the amendment suggested by him , requiring all tin ; silver bullion in the treasury to be coined Into dollars , half-dollars and quarter- dollars at tlio existing ratio of US to 1. He also looked with favor upon the amendment proposed by Mr. Blackburn , and , \ lengthy discussion eiiuued between. Mr , Ooipli , re publican , of Oregon ana himself as to the ef fect of these amendments , When Mr. Call I'oiiclti'Jcd Ins speech at " : -ti ! p , m , there were but six senators present. Mr. Duller , democrat , of South Carolina obtained the lloor , but Mr. Pugh , democrat , of Alabama suirgcstod the absence of a quorum , and tbo roll was called , forty-four senators responding. llutler'n Argument , Mr. Butler went Into a long argument In favor of the amendment , which ho sub- milted some tlmo ago , repealing the tax on tttato bunk circulation. Ho proposed to modify ills amendment by striking out the proviso , limiting tlio ri'ht to issue oircula- tlon to such hanks its so < ; uro their circula tion by coin , or approved state or municipal bonds. . Mr. Butler ridiculed the suggestion that If the lax on state bank circulation were re pealed the days of wildcat bunks would re turn. It was Impossible for any state in the union to permit for an hour the existence of ab ink that was not conducted upan con servative , prudent and business principles. Mr. Butler read copious extracts from ar ticles in the Forum on tlio Scotch bunking system , and ho asked why such a system could not bu established in Iho United States. .Mr. Allison , republicanof Iowa , said every stockholder In the Scotch tnnk was liable to tlio full extent of his property for every obligation of the bank , That was one of the reasons for the success of the Scotch bank ing system. Mr. Butler believed that South Carolina or Iowa would , with the tux on circulation removed , require a method of banking as Htifound conservative us that of Scotland. Why could not thu American people- imitate tlio Scotch ? Why could not each locality bo allmvcd to have banks'established pu the credit system of Scotland , where a man's personal credit , with the aid of two friends , would get capital I What wus there in the American people thai tlioy could. nol bo trusted as the Scotch ipcoplo were trusted ; that the state which was trusted in so many other vital points could not Do trusted to reg ulate the currency for Its people' . lletttT til in tliu Scutch hy > tuiu. Mr. Sherman thought tlio national bank ing system was better In every' respect than the Scotch system , and afforded n , larger cir culation per capita , Mr. Duller said there waanot * 3 per capita In circulation in South' Carolina. Hn closed Ills speech by rending nu extract from the farewell address of Andf-ow Jackson , condemning the United States banking sys tem of that day. What Mr. Jackson said at that time , Mr. Butler said , was n solemn truth when It was uttered , and as true today as then. Air. Uolph rend from Thompson's Dank Note Reporter of January Ifi , 18.VJ , as to the state bank circulation. Ha said that In Now York slate there were 153 failed , closed and worthless banks of issue , and only ii-VJ In operation. Mr. Duller wanted tha senator from Oregon gen to supplement Iho stulement ho wa < making wllh another as lo tlio number of banks which had failed in the last twelve months. , Mr. Dolph replied It was not necessary to do that , as In no case had the holder of national bank currency loit n dollar. Mr. Teller , tepubllcan. of Colorado , took the lloor on tlio repeal lII < lat44'i ; , and ucTora ho began Mr. Duhols suggested the lack of a quorum. After some Hi lo delay a quorum was secured. Tcltor'n Item iirkn. Mr. Teller .said that vthllo ho radically differed from the secretary of iho treasury and the president of Iho ; United Stales , ho assumed tlioy wore not actuated by any do- slro to Injure the country. ) Ho believed thn evidence could be and had been produced suftlclciil to justify ttul statement that neither the senate nor llm secretary of tlio treasury Intended to interfere in the slight est degree to prevent in tiny way , by any action on their part the ( disturbance that was somewhat apparent as early as the last of April or the l l of May. " 1 will say more , " said , Mr. Teller , "that , so far as I am concerned , I am .satisfied that tlio excitement and distrust were created in a largo extent by the altitude of the ex ecutive department of tills government on the llnancial question.

In the roar of the island hundreds ot little mounds mark the resting places of those who were killed in the terrible storm. There were many burial parties. , Men , women and children Joined In the Rcaiuh for the dead. With poles and hoolts ami ropes they drew the corpses from the water or drugged I'Jioni from the itubrU that si rows the island und buried them. \Vcnt Down In tin ; ( into.

It was crowded with rdfugess from Cavarnacho , a small sottle- iicut ) on Grand biyou. There were sixteen persons all told on the lugger and the first thins they asked for was wator. They said that the settlement of Cavarnacho was com pletely wiped out , of existence. Fortunately none of the Inhabitants were lost. At Unyou La Fomlo eleven were killed. Among those that perished wore Mr. and Mrs. George and servant , Joe Morlno. At Uayou Ilunry the latest reports place the loss of life at nlxty-llvo. The suifcring at these places is terriblo.

Tne people at Uayou I/a KYmdo are eating hogs , chickens and other animals that' per ished in the storm. The greatest suffering is from the lack of water. The Chinese.colony that was situated near Bayou Henry was totally wiped out. Over forty Chinamen perished. Tlio Chinese who survived saved sonio pro visions , but will not share them with their white brothron. Every lugger , with the exception of the Kvliina , was lost and there is now no way to enable the survivors to search for the dead. The Plcayuno's rcliof steamer , the Emma M. O.

IIo called n Mr. Williamson standing near and told him lo watch tlio front door and ! ct no one escape. IIo ran around lo Iho rear of the storo. When ho arrived Utsro ho saw n man In the shadow of tlio building. He grabbed him and asked what ho was doing there. Tlio man answered that ho had Just come out of tlio next door saloon. At tlio sumo time , Mr. Scrviss saw a man coming ever alow friico with a iiig bundle of goods and jewelry.

IIo tried to lire a second time , but the gun snapped , and it Is supposed Clio gun was empty. Ho then made a clash out of the alloy. By tins time Sorviss could not shoot on account of many people coming from every direction , and though ho chased his man , Iho latter disappeared and escaped. In the meantime OIlH-cr Smith and the burglar who Inil the goods had a battle bo- iween themselves. Ofllcer Smith was shot in the leg with tiio | lrsl shut by the bur glar.
