The Discussion Characterized by Per sonalities and Considerable Acri monyMr. Horr Takes Ex ception to a Remark by Mr. Harvey' -r- Harvey's . Attack on! Congress , Resented in Em phatic Lan guage. : Chicago, July 18 To-day's Harvey- Horr debate was marked by considerable acrimony on the part of both speakers, In beginning Mr. Horr said he had a personal explanation to make. He quoted the following paragraph from his opponent's argument of yesterday: - terests of money lenders, and Mr. Horr is here advocating them." Mr. Horr said he took ibis as a reflec tion on his" character. He then con tinued: . 'I am not a money lender. I have no interest in any bank or other institution of like character. I was raised on a farm and my first work, was done for $10 a month. I used to dig ditches for a living and was at one time a brakeman on a railroad. When I was elevated to the position of baggage master it was the proudest moment of my life. I, therefore, come into this debate, as my friend -will find out before he 1 gets through, to advocate the principles which will be for the best interests of the working classes rom which I come. I desire to say, however, that 1 have no prejudice against any man who has been more fortunate than I. . I do not think a man is necessarily a scouadrel : because he saves more than he spends. I even go go far as to say a man can be of a National bank and still hia integrity. a director maintain Mr. Harvey explained that when he principles Said Mr Horr advocated the of money lenders he did not mean to money iay Mr. Horr himself was a lender; he thought, however, iniving ithe history of his life, Mr. Horr should not have omitted to state that he had at one time been a bank president. Said he: "This question will, not be settled by any man parading himself as a horny handed son of toil. But it lies deeper than that. Perhaps Mr. Horr was at one time a laboring man, but so were many persons, who are now selfish bank presidents." - Mr, Harvey then plunged knee-deep into a discussion of the act of 187d, which demonetized silver, - but was shortly interrupted by the bell of the time keeper. Before following up this line of argu ment, Mr. Horr indulged in a little sar casm at his adversary's expense. '"With considerable merryment Mr.. Harvey has told you he said, "that l said it made my head ache some times to study finan cial questions. It would not make any man s head ache to write such stuff as is contained in this book." Here Mr, Horr, flourished a copy of "Coin's Financial School." After this he took up the his tory of the passage of the act of 1873. lie defied the champion of ' the white metal to produce any proof that Eng land had any hand in the act of 1873. . In reply to this Mr. Harvy said Del- mar, the English historian, had made it a matter 01 record tnat tne n.ngiisn Din of 1816 demonetizing silver, was for two weeks in the hands of Mr. Knox, the American Comptroller of the, Treasury. This statement was followed by a denun ciation of Congress, "The attemDt to smirch the Congress of the United States can be character ized by no other word than infamous," shouted Mr. Horr, leaping to his feet. The man who starts in to do this had better never bav e started at all." The discussion of the act of 1873 was 'continued until 1 o'clock, when an ad journment was taken until Saturday.

I The. Sun's Cotton Review. New York, July 18 The Sun's cotton review-say 8: Cotton rose 1 to 2 points, but lost this and declined 6 to 7, closing easy, with sales of 83,700 bales. New Orleans advanced 3 points, but lost this and declined 3 points. Liverpool ad vanced l-32d on the spot, with Bales of 10,000 bales; futures advanced 1 to 1 points, but lost this in most cases and closed barely steady with some months the same as last night and some 1 lower. Spot cotton here was quiet at 7c, the same as yesterday, with sales of 340 bales for spinning. The Southern spot markets were generally quiet and unchanged, At the South the weather was generally clear and warm. Arrivals at the ports were 333 bales, against 907 this day last week and 393 last year. To-day's features were: The early ad vance was short-lived. It was due to a temporary rise in Liverpool, which, in return, was attributed to the Conserva tive victories at the polls. . But later on, Liverpool reacted and this fact, together with generrl.y favorable weather at the South can sed a decline here. The South is now fretting just exactly the kind of weataer that it wants, namely: Clear and warm. Some leading interests here were selling. Not a little long cotton was sold out. August notices are due on the 26th inst, and many preferred to sell August, therefore, and take October and later months. It is a narrow mar ket, and if the weather continues favor able some are inclined to expect a fur ther recession, even some, who believe that cotton will ultimately reach much higher prices, favoring this yiew.

A telegram was received at the Navy Department to-day, announcing the sail ine of the monitor.

Next she will visit Wilmington, where she will take on the divisions of the Norlh Carolina naval militia.

THE MASSEY PILOT CASE. Governor O'Ferrall and Attorney ' General Scott Testify in Behalf of the Plaintiff. Norfolk. Va,. July 18 Soon after court convened to-day in the Massey- Pilot case, Governor O'Ferrall took the stand. He testified that he is a member of the Virginia Board of Education. He, as well as Mr. Massey, knew in 1894 there were competing bock agents in Richmond; the book agents were there, and came in without knocking and un bidden. There was no unseemly haste in the book adoption of 1894; he (O'Fer rail) had as much time to prepare for the adoption as the other Governors had; he saw nothing in Mr. Massey's act that would cause the most suspicious person to think that Mr. Massey was any more anxious than the other members to -get through with the book adoption. W The witness reasons for the book adop tion of 1894 were that the school super intendents wanted but few changes, and. further, the hard times would have made it a hardship on the patrons of the schools had a radical change been made in the books then m use; under the circumstan ces, he would have felt that he was doing the people of Virginia a great wrong had he favored a radical change. In re gard to what has been called the "Star Chamber" proceeding, of the Board of Education, it was not a "Star Chamber" proceeding, unless the board not per mitting the book agents to consume its time made it so. The witness has ex amined the contracts of the various States, and only found a few apparent discriminations against Virginia, which on close examination proved not to be discriminations; that after his investigation he was absolutely satisfied that in no proper sense had there been any discrimination against Virginia in the book contracts. Con tinuing, the witness said that Mr. Mas sey has been the equal of either of the other members of the board. Mr. Mas sey has had nO influence over j witness, and he (U err all) has found him consia erate and deferential. The witness con siders Mr. Massey's reputation good; be lieves it to be good; would believe him on oath or off of oath. Attorney General Scott was also on the stand to-day. . His testimony was sub stantially the same as that of Governor O'Ferrall. - When court adjourned the attorneys were discussing whether or not Capt. Wise can put on the stand to morrow witnesses from Albermarle to impeach Mr. Massey as to truth and honesty. Gold Exports.

Latest U. S. Gov't Report GEORGIA SILVEB1TES. The Free Silver Convention Great Harmony Attempt at Discord by an Office Holder Resolutions Adopted The Administra tion Censured. Griffin, Ga., July 18 One of the most remarkable conventions that ever met in Georgia assembled to-day at Grif fin. With but few exceptions, every county in the State was represented and, without a single exception, delegates were present from every Senatorial dis trict in the State. One hundred and four counties were represented, by dele gations. 1 When the convention was called to order at the Griffini opera house at 10 O clock the full capacity of the house, ! more than 1,000, was strained in the ef fort to seat those who gathered there and great crowds unable to gain admit tance straggled to the stair, ways and sidewalks for entrance. While the meeting was composed overwhelmingly of Democratic repre sentatives, including many of the most prominent Democratic leaders of the State, notably Chairman A. S. Clay, chairman of the State Democratic Exec utive committee, there were a great many Populists on hand, who showed by tneir aemeanor that they were willing to join in the effort for the restoration of silver to its full function as a standard money metal. . They were perfectly quiet and deeply interested. They re frained from an exposition of their views, and were perfectly satisfied that the committee on resolutions of twelve should be composed entirely of rock ribbed, free coinage Democrats. They made no speeches in the convention, but unanimously voted for the resolution re ported. It was unanimously accepted as a fact that if to day's action , resulted'in bringing the Democracy of the State to a full and enthusiastic defense of the principles for which it has contended and has struggled for so many years, that many of the recalcitrants who have left the party would be ready to return and join in the defense of its principles. , But one apple of discord was thrown into the convention and that developed suddenly at the morning session just as the convention was about to take a re cess to hear Senator Morgan. Mr. tiardner, of Pike, a former repre sentative in the Legislature, who had been elected as ah Independent, intro duced a resolution intended to have the effect of debarring Populists from partic ipating and confining the work of the day exclusively to Democrats, notwith standing the fact that the meeting had assembled in answer to invitation of the Spalding County Bimetallic league, re questing all who were in favor of free coinage to send delegates from the sev eral counties, without regard to party amnations. rrevious to this, a resolu tion had been introduced and adopted requiring all resolutions to be referred to the committee on resolutions. Without debate. But Mr. Gardner manifested remarkable persistency in forcing, his resolution to a vote over the protest of the chairman and the members that it must go to the committee on resolutions. After endeavoring in -vain to secure a hearing and protesting agamst Populist affiliation, he was compelled t yield to the demand of the chairman,. Senator Patrick Walsh, that the resolution be re ferred to the committee on resolutions. In his speech, Mr. Gardner said he spoke for the delegation from Pike, the chairman of which, Capt. Redding, of the Legislature, a rock-ribbed Demo crat, was not present. Xhe convention was adiourned to hear Senator Morgan and, in the meantime, Capt. Redding, who ia the father, of the election reform law passed by the last .Legislature, arrived in Griffin. He was informed of the claims of Mr. Gardner and openly announced that Mr. Gardner held a position of postmaster in his county and that he had taken advantage oi his absence to throw an apple of dis cord in the convention. "Gardner will not," said he, "dare to misrepresent our delegation,' and if be does I will tell the reason why and show the tie that binds him to the financial policy of the ad ministrataoh." Sure enough when the Committee met. Mr. Uardner did not open his mouth. uapc. Keaamg was there awaitmg an opportunity to reply, but Mr. Gardner was not heard from, raising even no ob jectidn to the unanimous report of the committee on resolutions. And so ended the only "incident of the day." And when it was found that Mr. Gardner was a postmaster, the convention dis solved itself into general laughter. Permanent orgamzation was perfected by the election of Hon. Patrick Walsh as permanent president, and Mr. Doug' las Glessner, as secr3tary. At 11:0 clock, the convention took a recess to hear Senator John T. Morgan, oi Alabama, who spoke in a grove near by, no house in the city being large enough to hold the crowd of nearly $5,000. He spoke for three hours. Un reconvening the committee on resolutions, composed of twelve Demo crats, Capt. Evan P. Howell, chairman, submitted its report. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. They ratify the platform adopted at the Memphis bi .metallic convention, and declare: "That we favor the immediate restora tion of silyer to its former plain as a full legal tender standard money equal with gold, and the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and upon the terms of exact equality. ' That while we should welcome the co-operation of other nations we believe that the United states should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign Govern merits, or the consent of foreign credi tors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the grinding process that is de stroying the prosperity of the people and should lead by their example the na tions of the earth. - "That the rights of the American people, the interests of American labor and the prosperity of American industry have a higher claim to the consideration of the people's law makers than the greed of foreign creditors, or the avari cious demands made by idle holders of the capital. The right to regulate its own monetary system in the interests of its own people is a right which no free Government can barter, sell or surren der. This reserved right is a part of every bond; of every contract and of every obligation. No creditor or claim ant can set up a right that can take pre cedence over a nation's obligations to promote the welfare of the masses of its own people. This is a debt higher and more binding than all other debts and one which is not only dishonest,: but treasonable to Ignore.

John Morley Defeated for a Seat In the Commons Lon don Horrified Over the Murder of a Woman by Her j Two Young Sons. London, July 18 A dispatch to the Times from Hong Kong says that re ports of serious fighting between the Japanese and the Black Flags in Formosa have been received from Amoy. . The nghting took place sixty miles south of Taipeh. The Black Flags were in almost overwhelming numbers and fought with the utmost bravery and stubbornness, and only the shells from the heavy guns saved the Japanese from dire disaster. As it was, the Japanese were compelled to retreat to the northwest. The Black Flags, according to the report, . are now advancing upon Teckham, fifty miles west of Tokoham, where renewed fight ing is imminent. Election returns received this morning from Newcastle-on-Tyne' show that Et. Hon. John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland under the Liberal administration, has been defeated by C. F. Hammond, Conservative. The defeat of Mr. Morley,' though it was not unexpected, dashes the already hopeless prospects of the Liberals. A most horrible case of depravity and brutality came to light in Plaistow, an eastern suburb of London, this morn ing. Two boys named Combs, aged re spectively 13 and 11 years, were brought before a magistrate upon the charge of having murdered their mother, and the accusation was substantiated by their own confession of the crime. The boys killed their mother by stabbing . her through the heart ten days ago, since when they have occupied the house alone with the woman's fast decom posing body. The husband of the mur dered woman andfather of the two boys is a ship purser and is absent from home on a sea voyage. The house is well furnished and possesses all the re quirements of a comfortable home After the boys committed their crime they pawned a number of valuables they found in the house and proceeded to en joy themselves by taking trips to various places on the river and in the interim visiting cricket grounds and indulging in other forms of amusement. When they were arrested they were playing cards in the house containing the de- uumpusea corpse oi tneir mother,-in company with a half-witted man and apparently getting the highest degree of enjoyment from their pastime, despite tne srencn wnicnitpervaaed tne rooms. The magistrate wdl astounded at the de velopments of the case and amazed at the cool demeanor of the boys. He de clared that he could not believe the youngsters sane and remanded them pending their mental examinations. The minds of the boys seem to have been upset by readingnovels which made heroes of cut-throats, robbers and the like. The crime has created a cn-AAt Rpn- sation in London. -! Healthy Condition of the Iron .Trade, Cleveland, Ohio. July 18 The Iron Trade Review says to-day: Buyers haye not rouowea the market in the latest ad vances with the avidity shown in pre vious weeks and in consequence there has been a week of nearly stationary prices. No indication of weakness is found any where, nor could there be, with nearly every mill and furnace sold for two months ahead and many for a mucl longer time, it is to be taken as proof of the absence of SDeculative transac tions that a slight lull should come after an active period of buying in which many of the quotations made would nave been prohibited had Tiot the mate rial been absolutely needed. While an abatement of feverish conditions is . just what the conservative forces in the iron trade had hoped for, there is little dis position to believe that the end of the advance is at hand. The market has made such striking progress toward higher ground at a time of year usually marked by uncertainty and Blackness that it is argued the confirmation soon to be given to encouraging crop reports by actual movement will strongly rein force a situation Already firm. After making a jump of 75 cents in the pre ceding week, from 13 to $13.75 in the valley: with sales of upward of 50,000 tons, Bessemer pig has taken a more moderate pace. Bound sales have been made at $13.65 in the valley, and fur naces now have their figure at $f4. Con sumption is plainly in excess of. current production. The scarcity of steel is still further emphasized; the enormous out put of finished material from Pittsburg mills has drawn upon other districts for steel and no billets are. going out of Pittsburg. Sales are reported at $21.50 and $21.75 at Pittsburg and small lots at $22 at Cleveland. The situation in foun dry iron, Northern and Southern, is good. Buying is comparatively Light for the time being, but consumption by foundries is at an increasing rate.
