THE PUBLIC LEDGER. WE GREAT DEBATE. Muoh Talk Going On in Both the Senate and House. THE DISCUSSION GETTING RED HOT. Silver Men More Hopeful of Defeating: the Unconditional Repeal Kill A Pro position to Postpone Action Until Next December. September 28. The resolution of fered by Mr. Dubois to postpone action on financial, tariff and federal election measures until next January, was taken up. After Mr. Dubois's speech in support of it, Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, made a strongf argument against it. Mr. Chandler suggested its postpone ment. He made some allusion to the senators who had changed their votes on the resolution to admit the claim ant from Montana; and Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, asked him whether he re ferred to the senator from Kansas (Mr. Peffer.) Mr. Chandler disclaimed any inten tion of alluding specifically to any sen ator, but said that he had greater re spect for the senator from Kansas, who had changed his vote and given reasons therefor, than he had for other senators who had changed their votes and had given no reasons. It was plain that the senator thus referred to Messrs. Gorman and Voorhees. Mr. Wolcott spoke of the "sudden and inexplicable changes" that the vote on the admission of the appointed senators had undergone. He said that the opponents of the bill had definite information that an arrangement had already been consummated between certain senators on the republican and the democratic sides of the chamber; and alluded to Messers. Gorman and Goodrich as the two 'steerers." Mr. Gorman replied to Mr. Wolcott's insinuations. He went so far as to make a remark purporting that the Colorado senator had obtained his in formation as to "steering" by listen ing at committee room doors or receiv ing reports from eavesdroppers. Mr. Wolcott, resented the insinua tion and denied its truth. Mr. Gorman said that Mr. "Wolcott had'misunderstood or misrepresented what he had said, and he repudiated the intimation which Messrs. Chandler and Wolcott made that himself and Mr. Voorhees had changed their votes on the Montana case with any refer ence to the repeal bill. September 29. Senator Teller's res olution inquiring of the secretary of the treasury when, in what amounts, and under what circumstances the payment of interest on government bonds has been anticipated since July 1, 1880, was taken up. Senator Teller said he did not think It necessary to speak on it. Senator Voorhees said the adoption of the resolution would require a com plete history of the financial transac tions of the government for the past thirteen years. It was a thrust at the treasury department to give all the reasons asked for by the words, "under what circumstances," and would im pose a superhuman burden on the de partment, and hoped Teller would strike them out. Teller replied that he wanted to know what brought about these anti cipated payments. It seemed to be committed to a single gold standard. The resolution was not an attack on the present secretary of the treasury, but as the new ad ministration is going to adopt a new financial system, tiie senate should know what was done heretofore to better understand what change is to take place. Voorhees withdrew his objection and the resolution was agreed to. The sensation in the house this morning was that the lie was passed ' between two members. A dispute arose between Fithian and Morse as to a certain conversation be tween them, and culminated in Morse charging Fithian with saying what he knew was false, and Fithian re torting that Morse was telling a will ful lie. At the conclusion of the morning hoar the house proceeded to the con sideration of the federal elections re peal bill, and was addressed by Mr. Black in favor of the repeal. Septembeb 30. In the senate Mr. Cameron presented the petition of Wharton Barker and manjr business firms' of Philadelphia, asking for legis lation to preserve and protect the in tegrity of silver as a money metal. The repeal bill was taken up, and Mr. Harris addressed the senate, con tending that the Sherman act had no thing to do with the business troubles. In his argument against the bill he drclared that it meant, and, in his opinion, was intended to mean, that there should be no more legal tender silver dollars, and that hereafter sil ver shall be used only as fractional currency. It meant the practical de monetization of silver, monometallism a:d a gold standard. ' Notice of two important amendments to the silver purchase repeal bill was given. One was by Wolcot, and pro vides for the return to the states in terested of the amount of cotton tax collected from them during the war. The other is by Perkins, and provides for the coinage of silver of American production at the existing ratio. The ... i I Treasury is id retain seigniorage oi 20 per cent. It also provides that hereafter there shall be no gold coins minted of less than, $10, and no bank notes or treasury notes issued for less than $5, and for a monetary commis sion of five experts. Mr. Martin introduced a bill to elect senators by the people. ! Mr. Oates, of Alabama, submitted a resolution in the house, authorizing the secretary of war to detail an officer to act as military instructor at the Ala bama University. Jerry Simpson ob jected and Oates promised to remember him for his unkindness. The election law repeal bill was then taken up and Lacey, of Colorado, took the floor in opposition. Mr. Cooper of Texas has introduced Jn the house a resolution providing for the submission of the question of free silver coinage to popular vote. The house committee on banking and currency today continued its hear ings upon the measures pending on its calendar. Representative McLaurin of South Carolina spoke in favor of his joint resolution providing for an issue of 8125,000,000 of additional treasury notes with a preamble declaring that 825,000,000 of previous issues had been lost or destroyed and are to be charged oft on the books of the treasury. October 2. The repeal bill was taken up in the senate, when Mr. Du bois complained of the statement made by Mr. Gorman last week as to his resolution for the postponement of the repeal bill, being offered for the pur of delay. He denied that statement and said he was in no plan for obstruc tion. Mr. Washburn spoke as to the ab surdity of the proposed postponement, particularly in view of the fact that two senators representing two of the states mentioned in the resolution were in favor of the unconditional re peal of the Sherman act. On being challenged by Mr. Walcott to name the two states, Mr. Washburn respond promptly by mentioning Washington and Wyoming. Authority for the state ment was demanded by Dubois and it was promptly given by Mr. Washburn, who said that he had been informed by the senator from Washington, Mr. Squire, that he would vote for the unconditional repeal of the Sherman act. Mr. Kyle then addressed the senate in opposition to the bill. In the house the federal election re peal bill was taken up before a very small audience, and Mr. Dinsmore took the floor in its advocacy. Mr. Benson, of Alabama, followed in the support of repeal. He appealed to his fellow-members of the north and south to help wipe from the statute books laws soobnoxious to the intelli gent citizens and voters of the great section he represents. Northern men who are willing to invest money in business in the south and trust the business men there to care for it, ought to be as willing to trust them to en force the laws ragarding elections. THE PRESIDENT WRITES, And Gives His Position on th Question ol Free Coinage. Atlanta, Ga., September 30. Presi dent Cleveland, in answering a letter from Governor Northen on the politi cal situation, after contending for sound, stable money, says: "I am a friend of silver, but I believe its proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our currency legislation and the in auguration of a consistent and compre hensive financial scheme. I think such a thing can only be entered upon profitably and hopefully after the re peal of the law which is charged with all our financial woes. In the present state of the public mind, this law can not be built upon, nor patched in such way as to relieve the situation. "I am, therefore, opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone and independently; and I am in favor of the immediate and un conditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the so called Sherman law.

Water Driven in from the Hay Par Up in the City. Mobile, Ala., October 3. A south east gale broke here this morning about 4 o'clock and the wind increased in velocity until at 1 o'clock. It was blowing at least fifty miles an hour. The barometer was still falling. The wind had blown the water from the gulf until the river had reached Royal street, which is four blocks from the river and at an elevation of about fifteen feet from the main river height. There is no possible chance to esti mate the money damage. All the wholesale and a great portion of the retail tistrict of the city is some four feet under water and . thousands of dollars worth of goods have been dam aged. The business thoroughfares of the city were being navigated in boats and parties wading up to their arm pits all the - afternoon in an effort t save goods. It is conceded by all to be the worst storm that has ever visited Mobile. Wires are all down, miles of railroad destroyed, and it will be several days before details can be had, To retain an abundant head of hair ot a natural color to a good old age, the hy giene 01 me scalp must be obset vea.
