Wasiiinoton, Sept. 5.—The opening
of the week fluds increased interest
in the financial situation in congress

Several senators are paired on the
question but should every senator vote,
the above is believed to be a fairly ac-
curate statement of the standing of
senators.
As will be seen the list of senators
set down as "for repeal" contains sev-
eral who as a last resort only will vote
for an unconditional repeal as some of
them would much prefer to have the
bill amended. The financial policy of
France, which has a silver circulation
of 700,000,000, seems to bo the model
which many senators are disposed to
follow. Then too, the old Bland-Alli-
son net will be introduced as an
amendment.
It is stated the administration men
are counting on Vice President Ste-
venson to put an end to the financial
debate nfter it has proceeded in the
senate some time.
While there is no cloture rule the
presiding officer can decline to recog-
nize a senator who wishes to speak
for the clear purpose of causing? delay.
It is said Mr. Stevenson will permit
the silver speeches to run along for a
time until their purpose of being dila-
tory has become evident. At such a
time, it is said, he will fail to give
continued recognition to tho silver
men, but will recognize Mr. Voorhees
for a motion to take a final vote.
This would bring the contest to an
abrupt termination.
It & remembered that Mr. Harrison
when president wanted Vice President
Morton to bring the force bill to a
vote by declining to recognize Mr.
Gorman and the Southern Democrats
who were talking against time. Mr.
Morton declined to ndopt this remedy
but it is said Mr. Stevenson will.
Senator Stewart promises to furnish
one of the sensational features of tho
week when to-morrow he gives his
story of the demonitization of silver
in 1873.

THE SENATE HARD AT WORK.
A II<1II<I1<T ItMolutlon llefMted — Mr.
Culloin <.! <■• Hl View. 011 Repeal.
Washington, Sept. .—When the
senate met this noon Mr. Voorhees
asked unanimous consent for the im-
mediate passage of the joint resolu-
tion which had come from the house,
making September 18 the centennial
anniversary of tho laying of the cor-
ner stone of the capltol, a holiday in
Washington. It was granted and the
resolution was passed, as was also a
joint resolution authorizing the loan
of the flags and ensigns to the archi-
tect of the capitol for deoorativo pur-
poses on the same day.
Various petitions were presented
for the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, and others asking
for the repeal with tome substitute
for tho aet of 181)0. Among those
presented was one by Mr. Harris of
Tennessee which he characterized as
the stereotyped printed Wall street
form of petition in favor of repeal.
Mr. llutler of South Carolina sub-
mitted an amendment to tho repeal
bill removing the tax on state bank
circulation, provided such banks
should secure their circulation by coin
or approved state or municipal bonds.
Mr. Uallinger of New Hampshire,
Introduced a bill supplemental to pen-
sion act of June 27, 1SU0. Its most im-
portant provision is that, except in
cases of established fraud, no pension
shall be suspended until after ninety
days' notice given to the pensioner
ami alter a full and impartial investi-
gation held upon sworn testimony. Ho
said the bill was designed to remove
every posalblo difficulty that stood in
tho way of the administration of tho
act of 1890, precisely as congress in-
tended it should be. Tho bill was re-
ferred to the committee on pensions.
At 12:ISO Mr. Voorhees moved that
the senato take up the repeal bill, but
Mr. Allen (I'opulist) of Nebraska of-
fered a resolution that congress take
cognizance of tl>e labor organizations
anil industrial interests of the nation
by observing this day as a national
holiday known as Labor day and as a
mark of respect to thoBO interests tho
senate adjourn.
Mr. Voorhees was on his feet in an
instani. lie said he was in favor of
all the jubilees and holidays for labor,
but that it was his opinion the best
tribute that could be paid to tho in-
terests of labor was to go on with the
business of the senate.
On a viva voce vote the senate re-
fused to udjourn and Mr. Allen de-
manded the yeas aud nays. On that
motion the yeas were 8, nays 41
Those voting in tho afllrmntive were
Messrs. Allen, Irby, Peiter, Pettigrew,
Power, Shoup, Vanco and Vest
Mr. Kyle of South Dakota offered a
free coinage amendment to the repeal
bill, which was referred to the liuance
committee.
Tho repeal bill was taken up at 1:05
o'clock and Mr. Cullom Republican, of
Illinois, proceeded to address tho sen
ate. Ho referred to the crisis and the
conflict of opinions as to tho best rem-
edy for the present troubles, lie re-
sented the demands of the press
for patriotism in congress as un-
iust and unnecessary. He declared
lis belief that the silver purchase law
was not wholly responsible for the
resent situation, but said that ho was

DR. CRAVES COMMITS SUICIUB
IN HIS PRISON CELL.
CLAIMS HE WAS HOUNDED TO DEATH
Interested Industries Appear llefore the
Ways and Means Committee.
Washington, Sept B.—Tho pro-
tected Industries, which have been
clamoring for a full hearing before
the ways and means committee before
a general tariff bill Is prepared, do
not appear to bo anxious to avail
themselves of the courtesy granted by
the eommitteo in setting apart the
period from September 4 to September
30, inclusive, for hearings of all those
interested in the tariff schedule*
After certain industries hivo been al-
lotted days aud b^en invited by the
eommlttee to bo present and present
their arguments, they have on one
pretext or another made excuses for
failing to fl') the time and have asked
for other dates.
ft In the absence of other interests,
he first hearing of the day was ac-
corded to a delegation from tho Ber-
muda islands, consisting of T. J. Wat-
son and S. A. Masters, representing
the legislative council of those islands.
Mr. Masters read an appeal signed by
all the members of the legislative
council. It explains that the United
States was the natural market of the
Bermuda Islands for potatoes, onions
and other early fruits and vegetables
■hipped between April 1 and June 15.
The duty which tho islands pay
to get their products to market in the
United States amounts to 8150,000 or a
tax of $10 per capita for everi inhab-
itant of the islands. The ltermuda
council desired that their early vege-
tables be admitted to tne United
States on the same terms as products
were admitted into the islands and, if
not, that they be admitted on tho same
terms as obtained before tho passage
The imports
of the McKlnley law.
Into ltermuda amounts to #97S.OOO out
of a total of 11,580,000 showing that
that two-thirds of all the products
Imported are obtained from the
United States. Of tho exports S523,-
000 out of a total of 8554,000 go to the
United States. In other words the
balance of trade in favorof tho United
States is 8451,000. The contention of
tho inhabitants was that the early
vegetables exported to the United
States bv Bermuda did not come in
competition with like products here.
The nro-ent duty only increased the
price hero and made it a hardship for
the ltermuda inhabitants.
Mr. Hopkins asked: "This is a case,
then, of where the foreigner pays the
tlx?"
Mr. Masters replied: "Yes, sir."
In explanation of his reply Mr. Mas-
ters cited an Instance of the shipment
of 10,000 boxes of onions last spring.
Tho tariff was thirty-seven cents per
box and the selling price was only
fifty cents. The shipment on account

in favor of its repeal because its prin
ciples wero wrong. Ho was not a
monometallist but could not accept
silver unless tho othercivilized nations
should also do so. Ho said further:
Tho people wnnt sliver; so do I. The people
tlrst of all want nil our clrouluttnx medium,
whether told, sliver or paper, of equal value;
so do I. The people uro more interested In
knowing that their money Is all Rood
and thnt It will continue so than
they are to know tho material out
ot which It is made Tho United States
alone cannot, In rnv opinion, maintain Iron
colnaue or silver unlosH we aro wIUIq* to be-
come a .liver nation and drive the told out.
What wo want is an International agreement
securing the u«e of both metals and free coin-
age on an agreed ratio, and if wo repeal the aot
of 1MW and slop tho purchaso ot silver I be-
lieve wo will get it.
The policy of pl'lns up silver bullion Is not
wise s'atesinanship an 1 in a little w hilo it
will surely be stopped. Thcro is now a strong
party in England in favor of bimetallism and
tlie retnonctlzatlon of sliver. When England
tlnds that she no longer derives an ndvautas

favor of restoration of silver and advance the

Mr. Cullom avowed deep rympathy
for the people of the mineral states,
but declared that he felt that it was
more important to Gccure a settlement
of tho silver question than leave it
with the act of 1890 in f\ve. He was
against making this a silver monome-
tallic nation.
Mr. Cullom then declared that the
result of the last election and the
prospect of the repeal of the pro-
tective tariff laws aud of the laws pre-
venting state banks from issuing cur-
rency good only for state use, were
tho deep causes of the present de-
pression.
Mr. Cullom was interrupted by Mr.
Mitchell of Oregon, who asked whether,
if the Sherman act wero repealed,
there was any provision by which
silver would be coined.
Mr. Cullom replied that there was
not to his knowledge, and Mr. Mitch-
ell then asked what was to become of
the 140,000,000 or 150,000,000 ounces of
silver bullion in the treasury.
Mr. Cullom assumed that the party
responsible for tho administration
would devise proper and wise meas-
ures to meet the situation.
Mr. Aldrieh of Khode Island ob-
served that tho repeal of the purchas-
ing clause did not alTect the power of
tho department to coin the bullion on
hand for tho redemption of treasury
notes.

Denvkh, Col., Sept. 5.—Dr. T.
Thatcher Graves, tho convicted pois-
oner of Mrs. .Josephine liarnaby, com-
mitted suicide in his cell at the county
jail Saturday night, presumably by
taking poison, lie was found stiff
and cold in death Sunday morning by
the "trusty" who has been caring for
him. On his person was found the
following letter:
To the Coroner of Denver:

Morphine is believed to bo the means
by which lliodoctor committed suicide.
The corpse was quite cold when
found. No direct evidence of suicide
was visible, but tho above letter tells
tho story. There were also letters to
Mrs. Graves, wife of the doctor; to
Jailer Crews and an address to tho
public. That tho prisoner had long
contemplated taking his own life is
evident from tho date of the letter,
August 0, last
His Letter to the Public.
The letter which Dr. T. Thatcher
Graves wished given to the public is
lengthy, and is as follows:

Indianapolis, Iud., Sept 5.—Tho
election of commander-in-chief and

Paris, Sept. 5.—The result of the

been expected. The strikers are de-

Chicago, Sept. 5.—Standing room
tvas at a premium to day in the great
hall of Columbus in the Art palace on
the lake front, the occasion being the
initial session of the Catholic congress,
the first national gathering of the
laymen of that faith since the appoint-
ment of a papal delegate to the
United States.
Sensational developments regarding
the school question and the alleged
opposition to Delegate Satolli's mis-
sion were eagerly awaited, and the
feeling of suppressed excitement was
particularly noticeable when in
his preliminary addresses Arch-
bishop Feehan, who is a warm,
personal friend of Archbishop Cor-
rigan, gave warning against tho
utterance of a word in the congress
to wound or olt'end the Catholic eon-
science, as he put it. A similar man-
ifestation was noticable when Cardi-
nal Gibbons, whose friendship for
Archbishop Ireland is well known,
put forth a solemn caution, to the del-
egates to avoid personalities and be
restrained by charity.
It was a brilliant scene when Car-
dinal Gibbons, attiied in his scarlet
robes, entered with secretary Onahan,
and followed by Archbishops Feehan
of Chicago and Ryan of Philadelphia
in full purple, .lust back of them in
plain civilian attire was Archbishop
Ireland and his strong features easily
noticeable in a group of other dis-
tinguished prelates, each of whom,
however, except him, wore some mark
of ecclesiastic dignity.
After addresses of welcome by Arch
bishop Feehlin. President Ronney of
the world's congresses auxiliary and
Thomas R. Rryan, who was the special
envoy of the United States govern-
ment and world's fair to the pope in
behalf of the exposition, Cardinal
Gibbons made the opening address.
In the course of his remarks he
said: "The edifice of moral and so-
cial improvement which you aim to
build can never be erected on the
ruins of charity. Perhaps the best
model of courtly dignity and courtesy
that you could set before you is the
Hon. \V. E. Gladstone, the grand old
man." The reference to Gladstone
evoked tumultuous applause.
In conclusion Cardinal Gibbons said:
•'God grant that our fondest anticipa-
tions of your labors may be realized
and that the invocation to-day of the
divine blessing, which is so full of
hope, may be crowned at the end of
your sessions by a te deutn full of joy
and gratitude for the success of this
convention."
A message from Pope Leo was read
by Cardinal Gibbons giving his bless-
ing to the congress, praying the
Almighty to assist and illumine it,
and enrich with the treasures of his
choicest gifts its deliberations and
conclusions.
A communication was also read from
Papal Delegate Satolli, stating that
pressing business prevented him from
being present on the opening day of
the congress. It is understood that
he will be in attendance to morrow.
Addresses on special topics chiefly
occupied the remainder of the day. the
first being by Edgar II. Gans of Balti-
more, on "The Relations of the Cath-
olic Church to the Social, Civil and
Political Institutions of the United
States." Others were by Father
Elliott of the Paulist order, Walter (J.
Smith of Philadelphia, Judge Martin
F. Morris of Washington, 1). C., and
Richard Clarke of New York, Marv J.
Onahan of Chicago and George Par-
sons Latlirop.
