IIAKTFK lAVa THE WII.8UN BILL WILI. PASS. He TlilnkM There 'Will be a Ma- iorlty ofioo For The Repeal or The BUennau Dlaud Does Not Aicree Wltli Him. Washington, Au.j. 10. In the House today, after adopting a resolution culling on the Secretary of the treasury for in formation respecting silver purchases, the debate of the Wilson bill was re sumed, McCall, Massachusetts, speaking for the bill. McCall was lollowcd by Coombs of New York. The executive committee ol the anti- silvcr forces in the House, appoiutcd at a conference last niht, held a meeting this altcruoon for consultation. A poll oi the House has been practically com pleted by canvassers in the interest of the anti-silver faction which is said by one of the leaders to show an impregna ble majority of 25 in favor of the uncon ditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act as provided in the Wilson bill. There is substantial agree ment among the silver and anti-silver cadcrs as to what is to be the real test of strength of the two parties on the several question to be voted on at the close of the present debate. A wide divergence exists, however, as to the number of votes that would be cast by the two sides tbcreon. Harter estimates that if the House successfully passes what he calls the danger point of tree coinage at a ratio ot to l, tlie majority for the Wilson bill, which will present the naked question of repeal or no repeal, will be 100 or more. Ou the other hand. Wand says there are repre sentatives who may vote against the coinage of silver at any specified ratio who will not vote to wholly abolish the use ot silver as a money metal, which would be the effect, he suvs, of the pas sage of the Wilson bill. It there are any representatives from the silver district who would thus vote," aid Island, "they had better make terms with the administration for they cannot be in with their people." llartcr s doubt as the result ot the vote on the proposition to coin silver at a ratio of 20 to 1 is said to he due to in formation conveyed to the anti-silver executive committee that there are up wards of 40 Republicans who will vote for establishing coinage at that ratio. Bland, however, believes that the ratio f 16 to 1 will be stronger m the House than any other, despite the reported 40 Republican votes promised for 20 to 1. In the Senate the morning hour, after the introduction ot bills, was largely oc cupied by discussion as to the overload ing of government buildings in Washing ton with public books and documents. vest proposed a remedy by the passage of a bill appropriating $300,000 for a building to be knowu as the "hall oi records.

(Bf ADB IN TWO SHAPES) For sale only by 10 USE WILL REPEAL IT OVl'R THK PI.ATIv Banks Wout Them. Toledo, Aug. 13. For the first time ince oil was discovered in the Ohio fields. the checks issued by the Standard Oil company arc not honored. The monthly pay roll is made up on the 10th day of each month. On Thursday the small army of paymasters in the employ of the Stand ard's various Ohio companies started out nto the fields as usual. laden with satch els full of checks. The country merchants aud boarding ' house keepers have always readily ac cepted the checks, after being properly mlorscd, and have had no trouble in ne gotiating them at the Toledo, Pindlay und Lima banks. So common were they that they were used about the same as currency. Last week a few of the checks issued for July labor were accepted by country merchants, who promptly turned them over to the banks. The latter refused to issue the currcucy on them or to credit personal accounts. Some banks even refused to accept them lor exchange at three percent, discount. The merchants have since refused to ac cept any more checks. 1 lie ellect is tar rcachine. Nearly all business in the oil field is done by credit; mcii pay their board once a month, ho tels pay their grocers and meat dealers when their boarders pay them, and the grocers settle with their city houses in the same way. 1 he result is no one has yet settled for July's bills. N. V. Sun. Bl'KIKU Hits UULD. or the Motels lo Interest Lovers National Game, The Invincible Highlanders, otherwise known as the Asheville Baseball club, are preparing for their visit to Knox ville next week, when they will play three games with the Knoxville Reds on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Asheville boys are going to giye the Knoxville boys the best they have in the shop and if they do not win they will discover the reason. The Asheville peo ple who vish to see the first game may do so by going down to Knoxville Monday morning on the excursion which is to be run by Pittman & Johnston. The train will leave Asheville next Mon day morning at G o'clock and, returning leave Knoxville about 8 o'clock Monday evening. This will give all an opportu nity to sec the first game. However, a number of people will doubtless go down and remain through the scries. The ex cursion rate is only $3 for the round trip. Yesterday was a great day for the col ored sports, the occasion being a game of baseball between the Asheville colored team and the Statesville nine. The friends of the Asheville players were on hand promptly at Carrier's track and nourished their money but found few takers. The game was a victory for the home team, the score being 27 to 20. The Statesville C layers did not seem to buckle down to usiness until the last inning, but they had let the golden opportunity slip and It was too late to catch it again. The best work on the Statesville team was by the pitcher, a long, loose, double jointed fellow, who played ball as if he loved it. Had he been well supported the score might have been different. Statcsville's second baseman also did very fair work. For the Ashevillcs by far the best playing was done by Butler, the heavy-weight barber, who covered first base in good style. Big Ivy is coming to Asheville tomorrow to try and best the Asheville Baseball club. They will bring some of Mars Hill's players with them and propose to make the game interesting, whether they win or no. The game will lie called at 4 o'clock at Carrier's track. Secretary Randolph, of the Asheville Baseball club, has received from Capt. A. Mendenball, ot the Greensboro team, a request for a game on the Asheville grounds on Friday, August 25. The game will probably bz arranged. The first game at Charlotte, played Monday, between the Danvillcs and Charlottes, was a whitewash for the Virginia boys, Charlsttc making 5 to Danville's O. THE PKGBIDKNTIAI. VETO. THEY AWAIT OUR WORD It Will Coluaite Prevent a Free Law. Washington, Aug. 15. Before he left the President said to a well known gen tlemen, who told a friend of mine, that he would veto any bill providing for free coinage of silver. The House may not pass a bill at a high ratio, say 20 to 1, but if it does it will certainly pass the Senate. In the conjunction of these events and their collision with a presi dential veto lies the danger, but it the House repeals the purchase clause of the Sherman act unconditionally, and the Senate amends by taking on such a com promise measure as I have suggested heretofore, or the coining of the bullion the treasury, the President would probably sign the bill. Charlotte Ob server. COCKTAILS GALORE, Wkeu He Got Back Only The Tin Can Remained. Leavenworth, Aug. 13. About two weeks ago Jacob J. Wcismau of 720 Os age street had $1,200 in gold, which he placed in a can and buried in his cellar for safe keeping while he and his wife visited the World s tair. lie arrived home yesterday, and this morning went to examine his money.

HAWAIIAN HAVE A WORLD OF patience:. Blount said. To Have Taken a III-flu lie Ntaud Back of The Pro vincial fioveruiueut Japan It PresslUK For an Answer, Honolulu, via San Francisco, Au, 1G. The leading topic of discussion here for the past forty eight hours has been Minister Blount's announcement that he would leave by the steamer Gaelic. It has lately transpired that he has taken a definite stand back of the provisional government on certain de mands made by the Japanese. Prominent annexationists declare Mr. Blount to be favorable to the es tablishment of a protectorate over Hawaii. Royalists are not favorably impressed by the proposed new treaty from Washington, while on the other hand annexationists are elated and as sert that they will have still other grounds for believing that the beginning of the end has been reached. In reply to inquiries during an extended interval Minister Blount said in sub stance : "I am going home owing to the pressure of my private affairs. I am done with my work here. Besides I shall leave things here in good shape and there is no anticipation that trouble will be precipitated during an interval of 30 days, which will likely pass before my successor can arrive, if he does not come on the Australia before I leave. 1 shall turn over the archives of the de partment with other property ts Consul General Severance at noon of August 18, if the Gaelic arrives in the morning. "There is no dansrer of any disturb ances from annexationists and in con versation with the leading royalists I have learned that they will make no fur ther opposition to the provisional gov ernment until after the decision of the United States is aunounccd on the prop osition for annexation, 1 am confident the provisional government is capable of preserving the peace and quiet of the country." Throughout the interview ran the pre vailing idea that Minister Blount con sidered the provisional government as a fixture not to be disturbed unless the United States should sec tit to change its policy hereafter. It has been learned directly and posi tively that the Japanese government has been lately pressing the provisional government for some prompt assurance of future suffrage for Japanese immi grants here. After a consultation with Minister Blount the provisional govern ment declined to answer the Japanese government pending the settlement of the annexation question by the United States.
