BPEAIEB SEED 0A8T EI8 TOTE
la Opposition to tha Mwunre Declar
ing For Bond Payments to Sllrer,
Having H la Name Called In Order to
Plac Hlmaelf on Record.
Washington, Feb. 1. The house, of
representatives yesterday burled the
Teller resoltgton declaring- the bond of
the United State payable In silver un
der an advene majority of 60 votes.
The Republicans were solidly arrayed
In opposition, with two exceptions, Mr.
Linney, of North Carolina, who voted
with the Democrats and Populists, and
Mr. White, of North Carolina, the only
colored member of the house, who an
swered "present" when his name was
called. The desertions from the Dem
ocratic side were McAleer of Pennsyl
vania and Elliott of South Carolina.
Both voted with the Republicans
against the proposition. Speaker Reed,
although It Is not customary for him to
vote, had his name called, and amid
the cheers of his followers went on
record in opposition to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five hours
of debate under a special order adopted
at the opening of the session. The lim
ited time for debate and the pressure of
members for an opportunity to be
heard was so great that the leaders on
both sides were compelled to farm out
the time by minutes. This detracted
much from the continuity of the dis
cussion, but It also In a measure Inten
sified the Interest. The galleries were
crowded all day long, and the combat
ants on the floor were cheered by their
respective sympathisers. Many of the
senators from the other end of the
Capitol were present to listen to the
arguments.
The majority, under the leadership
of Mr. Dlngley, who made a carefully
prepared speech sounding the keynote
of the opposition, assumed the position
that the last clause of the resolution
was In reality a disguised declaration
for the free coinage of silver, while
the assaulting Democrats, under the di
rection of Mr. Bailey, maintained that
the defeat of the resolution was an
other step In the direction of the estab
lishment of the gold standard, to which
they alleged both the present and Sec
retary Gage had Irrevocably commit
ted the Republican party.
The debate was at times fast and
heated, but there were no sensational
Incidents beyond the hissing of Mr.
Rhea, of Kentucky, when he said that,
as the author of the "crime of '73,"
the hottest place in hades would be re
served for -the present secretary of
state. The vote on the resolution was:
Teas, 132; nays, 182.
Yesterday's session of the senate last
ed six hours. Two of the general' ap
propriation bills that for the army, car
rying $13,143,493, and that for the leg
islative, Judicial and executive depart
ments, carrying $21, 60S, 520 were passed,
the latter, consisting of 121 pages, oc
cupying the attention of the senate
during the greater part of the session.
After a brief executive session the sen
ate adjourned.
M'KINLEYJW FINANCE.
President's Address to the National
Association of Manufacturer.
New . Tork. Feb. 1. President Mc
Kinley was the principal rpeaker at the
banquet of the National Association of
Manufacturers last Thursday night In
the course of his address he said:
"The money of the United States is
and must forever be unquestioned and
unassailable. If doubts remain, they
must be removed. If weak places are
discovered, they must be strengthened.
Nothing should ever tempt us nothing
will ever tempt us to scale down the
sacred debt of the nation through a
legal technicality.
"It will not suffice for citizens now
adays to say simply that they are in
favor of sound money. That Is not
enough. The people's purpose must be
given the vitality of public law. Bet
ter an honest effort, with failure, than
the avoiding of ao plain and command
ing a duty.
"The financial plank of the St. Louis
platform is still as commanding upon
Republicans and those who served with
them In the last campaign as on the
day It was adopted and promulgated.
Happily the tariff part of the platform
has already been engrafted Into public
statute. But that other plank, not al
ready buildcd into our constitution. Is
of binding force upon all of us
"The country Is now emerging from
trying conditions. It Is only Just be
ginning to recover from the depres
sion in certain llres of business long
continued and altogether unparalleled.
Progress, therefore, will naturally be
slow, but let us not be impatient.
Rather let us exercise a Just pntlence,
which In time will surely bring Its own
high reward."
Governor Voorheos Sworn In.
Trenton, Feb. 1. Governor Griggs
last night tent to' both houses ot the
legislature a communication giving no
tice that ho had filed his resignation
with the secretary of state, to take ef
fect at midnight. A' concurrent resolu
tion eulogistic of Governor Griggs was
adopted by both the senate and as
sembly. President Vporhees, of the
senate, took the oath of office as act
ing governor In the presence of the
house and senate at 11 o'clock this fore
noon. Chief Justice Magle administered
the oath.
Prince (Jeoruro For Crete.
London, Feb. 1. There is an Impres
sion here that the sultan In the end
will be compelled to accept Prince
George as governor of Crete. It Is
strong enough to provoke discussion of
the consequences, namely, that the
Turks, with Mohammedan feeling
aroused, will be less disposed than ever
to evacuate Thessaly, and that the
Balkan states, already disturbed and
restless, will be likely to ask compensation-
for Greece's virtual gain of
Crete.

gress waa the passage by the senate,

lution authorising the payment of bond
Issues, principal and Interest, In sliver.

standard substitute being defeated by
24 yeas to 63 nays. The Republican sli
ver senators voted for the Teller reso
lution. The house passed the bill to

Vancouver, B.C., Feb. 1. The steamer
Warrlmoo, Just arrived from Australia,
brings news of appalling climatic con
ditions whlofi have been prevailing In
many sections of Australia. The pros
trations from heat are so numerous
that the condition of affairs in large
cities Is alarming. In a great many in
stances work Is out of the question
and sleep Impossible. Telegrams show
that the same conditions prevail all
over the colonies. The thermometer
during the heat of the day averages
about 162 In the shade, and In a long list
of towns the lowest figure found Is
110. In the sun It Is 160. so it Is Impos
sible to work at midday. The heat
has caused numerous fires from spon
taneous combustion, and the houses are
so baked during the day that in the
worst section the residents sleep In
gardens and on roofs. The total fire
damage will amount to millions of
pounds. In Victoria colony 100,000 acres
i of crops have been destroyed, and in
j other colonies many houses and barns
have been burned.
I The Warrlmoo brings news of a se
vere accident In Melbourne, in which
many lives were lout. Inspector Mosep,
of the city hoard of works, and a gang
of men went down to Investigate a sewer,
A tardy workman who followed them
came liar saying mat Mosep ami an
me gang naa oeen overcome oy gas.
Hundreds of citizens crowded around
the vent hole, but none dare attempt to
go to the rescue, though they knew the
men were dying beneath their feet. The
sewer region where the men were en
closed was Hooded by the Are depart
ment, but the pressure was so strong
that It was impossible to unfasten the
vent holes, and the gas was let off by
means of a siphon. Divers were then
secured, who finally brought the bodies
of all the men to the surface. Many of
them had families, and all were, young
men.

Philadelphia, Jan. 31. Comptroller
Dawes arrived from Washington last
Thursday afternoon and had a conference
with (leorge H. Karle, Jr., and Richard
T. Cook, managers of the "Slngerly
plan" of liquidation of the affairs of
the failed Chestnut Street National
bank. After the conference Mr. Dawes'
gave out a statement in which he de
clared that he could not modlfv the j
conditions he had recently Imposed,
and as a result announced that, "as In-1
dlcatlng hleyontldence In the intentions i
of the managers," he would appoint j
Mr. Earle as the receiver of the bank.
As a result the official notification of !
Mr. Earle's appointment came from I
Washington on Saturday, and his com-
mission arrived today.
The appointment of Mr. Earle is t
generally approved by the press of this ,
city, but a number of depositors In the
bank, in recent interviews, express-
cu 'i.v u.sp.easeu wun me,
! appointment. They approve the comp-
1 troller'B nw conditions of the Slngerly
plan of liquidation, as they claim that
under these conditions creditors are
better protested In their legal rights
than they were under the plan as orig
inally presented, but they hold that as
Mr. Earle is assignee for several of Mr.
Slngerly's other enterprises they would
have preferred another selection. It Is

BRITONS IN A NAVAL BATTLE, j
British SulNir Captured by the Korc' !
of Morocco"? Sultan. ,
Tangier, Feb. 1. The British steamer !
Tourmalin. It is officially announced. '
while attempting to land arms and i
stores on the Sus coast of Morocco, was
Intercepted by the sherltlan steamer
Hassan!, whereupon she opened tire.
The Hassani reciprocated and captured j
one of the shlp"s boats, with four in- ,
gilshmen. The Moorish troops then de- ;
mollshed the villages favorable to for
eigners, killing numbers of the Inhab- '
Hants.
The difficulty appears to have arisen
from the operations of a British min
ing company, the Globe Venture, a
syndicate acting under a treaty where
by the Sua chiefs granted a trading and
mining monopoly over 130,000 square
miles of the Sus district.
A dispatch from Mogalor, Morocco,
says that an expedition having occu
pied Erkzes (presumably on the Sus
coast) with the assistance of rebel
tribesmen, the sultan's troops attacked
anJ d(.ft.at,.a u aftt,r ,eVl.re nghUns
