VANCE HAS HIS SAY.
Mijls ¿will Favor Repeal.
HE IS BILLED FOR A GREAT
SPEECH, WEDNESDAY.
Washington, Sept. 1.— The speocb
of Senate Vance was a masterplace
-on the silver aide of (ho question. It
was in the nature of a stamp, spoech
end pleased tbasilver men immensely.
Ha indulged ¡o ridicula humor and
logio, and .made a splendid impres-
sion on the galleries, and yet when
he wee done not a vota bad been
changed. The speech was toot made
for Totea. That should be said. It
wee made for North Carolina con*
sumption, and Senator Vanee kuows
how to pat up articles ef a forsnsio
kind for that state When he was
through Senator Voorhees said if
there were no more speeches to be
delivered bo wanted a vqíe. There
was tome confusion observable on the
faces of the eilver man. Mr. Peiffer
arose, however, and said be wenteii
to offer anueudmenta and have them
voted on, and he did not deiire to
become emburrase * by any order
whioh would cut bim off. He cou-
tinued to talk for aome time, and
when be was through Mr. Cockreli of
Missouri proceeded to poiot out diffe
rences between the bouse or Wilson
bill end tbs senate or Voorhees bill.
Others talked a bout tbe proper course
to proceed and the matter went
over.
The nervousness or air of oonfusion
among tbs silver men was significant
in that it showed thst there is cot
perfect discipline on that tide, and, in
fact, no fighting organisation. The
silver men know they are whipped on
e straight out vote- Their onlj obance
into delay matters* Mr. Voorbses
end the anti-silver men stand prs-
pared to press them every momeut,
and now that the repealing bill is
the regular order a vote will be asked
every time some one is not occupying
the (loor. The silver men know this
and yet to-dsy they bad no man to
occupy the floor when Mr. Vance
had concluded hie speech. Among
the anti-silver and Silver democratic
senators tbe impression continuos to
grow that the delay csn net last
longer than three wseks. Ths anti-
silver men state on ever ooousion that
they are determined to give tbe ail ver
men every opportunity to spssk, but
that they are equally d®term'n®d to
press a vote when they see that legit
imte speaking is done.
8enatcr Mills will deliver his speech
nest Wednesday and as bs will vote
teforh Voorhees bill1 it is supposed
that his argument will be on the lines
oooupied by the friends of that bill.
That is that he i* a bimetal list, bul
that the repeal of the Sherman law is
absolutely necessary in tbe pressnt
condition of the oountry, and that
snob repeal is not inimiosi to silvsr.
Senator Oeke has not yet snoounced
when be will speak, but it is nndsr-
stood that be intends to make one.
If be doss make it he will opposs ths
repeel of the Sherman law.

Washington, Sept. 1 .—About
Faison of the Choctaw nation has
made his report to the sscretary
of the ietericr Obootaws. He inelo
eed a letter from the judge
yrho tried tbe condemned man, snd
vwho under the law of tbe Choctaw
nation, seems elotbed with power to
extend clemency. If this letter the
judge says thai in view ef Poison's

ted a new trail and two of them
executed. Tbe judge says ho dose
not think tbe government onght to
further interfere, find intimates that
he and bis people feel that they have
made all tbe concesaions they oan
make.
Faison says he hss accepted this
solution of tbe trouble, and further
that he did so recollecting tbe consul-
tation between bim and tbe secretary
of tbe interior on tbe subject.
It looks on the faoe of things
that this would settle he
whole matter, but around the
interior department there is a
general opinion that this agree-
ment between Faison and the
judge who tried the men wonld
not be approved by Secretary
Smith. The truth is the secretary
does not want any of the men
exeonted. Those who are in a
position to know guess very emph-
atically that this agreement will
be set aside, and that new trials
will be granted to all of the con-
demned men, and that on their
second trial the most culpable will
plead guilty to manslaughter and
go to the penitentiary for a short
term of years.
Washington, D,C.,Sept. 1.—When
tbe session of tbe house closed yes
terday tbey were iu the middle of a
very hard fight over a propositon
which, while mude by a Dnmccrai,
threatened to put the ¡wajority of tbe
party, to n very considerable extent,
at the mercy of the Republicans, and
to make the Republicans « very much
mora potential factor in this con-
gress.
The proposition was that submit-
ted by Boatner of Louisiana, provid-
ing that tbe chairman of any oom-
mittee calling up a measure for con-
sideration might call ths previous
question after two hours' debats.
Filibustering is in such bad odor
in this bouse that any proposition to
curtail windy discussion commands
considerable support and tbe indica-
tions were, when the house adjourn-
ed yesterday, that Bofctner's amend-
ment would bs adoptsd.
Tom Reed, quick to see the advan-
tage to his party from tus adoption of
sush a oíanse in tbe rules marshaled
his forces and bad a eolid Republi-
can vote behind hiui in eupport of
both of the proposition, and practical-
ly took command of tbe forees in fev
or of it on both sides of the bouss.
When ths house met this morning
the previous question had bsen order-
sd on tbe amendment and there was
▼ery gssat anxiety on tbe part of tbe
supporters of the committss on rulss
lest it should be odopted. Under
ths direction of Reed the advocates of
the amendment were working with
all thair might to seonre its sdop-
tion, and it required tbs most activs
bustling on the part of the oommit-
tee on rules and their friends to
avoid defeat, which would have left
tbsm, to a considerable extept, at
tbe mercy of ths Republicans at any
time at which they might gat a few
Democrats to join with them to foroe
some particular legislstion upon the
house.
Tbe faot, howsvsr, that it was
made apparent that Reed was ao
eager for the adoption of the amend-
msot and thst he bad ths solid Re-
publican vote brhind bim, aroused
the Dsmocrsts gcnerslly to an ap-
preciation of tbe situation and the
committee on rules was enabled to
defset the ■
Washington, D. C., Sept 1—The
Populist member* of tbs bouss dem-
onstrated their loyalty to silver yes-
terday. It was pay day, and when
Cashier Moler of the sergent-st arm's
office offered them gold, in which all
payments were made, by a prearrang
ed understanding they refused it or
asked for silvsr. They clsiaed ss an
excase that gold Was toe bulky. One
of the Nebraska Populists took bis
salary in the form of a draft, and
another placed bis gold on deposit
when informed thst there was not
silver euough to meet their requests.
Another of the Populists received
paper money in bis "euvalope" and
at once asked for silver, saying that
be wanted obaogf and not bills, show
ing thereby that bulk made no diffe.
rence. It is said that the action of
these gentleman was decided npon at
an informa) cateus held during tbe
morning.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 1.—
Secretary Carlisle has ordered
that the United States mints at
Philadelphia, Pa., and San Fran-
cisoo, Cal., be fnlly manned and
the full oapacity of both mints be
utilized in the coinage of gold bul-
lion. The treasury department
possesses from eighty-five to nine-
ty millions of gold bullion, whioh
is a part of the gold reserve of
$100,000,000. Qold bars can not
be used as currency, so it has been
deoidedfor the present need to ooin
the bullion on hand. This bullion
will be ooined into $10, $0, and $2
1-2 gold pieces, preference being
given to the first two denomina-
tions.
The issue of standard silver dol-
lars from the mints and treasmy
offices for the week ended August
26,1893, was 9666,740; for the cor-
responding period of 1892, $641,"
019.
Fenr hnndred and sixty-five
thousand onnces of silver were of-
fered for sale to the treasury de-
partment yesterday at prices rang-
ing from 74 to 75 oents an ounce.
The whole amount offered was
declined at the price asked, and
73 3-4 cents an ounce tendered.
