T)CN & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: - • Business Indications an not quite so clear There is, on the whole, less evidence ot improvement in distribution, and yet the prospect in the great industries seems brighter. The movement of grain and cot­ ton falls off,, and the sharp decline In prices Is felt in many quarters but the tone to the Iron, woolen, cotton, and shoe manufactures is rather imptovel. The moncr markets are abundantly sup­ plied. With unusually conflicting signs the confidence which prevails in business c r- Cles Is still unabated. But for the uncer­ tainty how far foreign relations will affect money and business here, the general con­ fidence in the future of trade would seem to be justi.led.

The bodies of twenty-three of the miners have been brought to the surface. The struggle for life of the entombed miners was • as terrible as it was brief. They were suffocated •-- not burned or starved--and it is improbable that any lived longer than an hour. The search for the bodies has been carried on unre­ mittingly by the owners of the Hill rana sir.ee the a^rful disaster twenty months ago, at a cost of over $100,000. After two weeks' work the searchers were compelled to abandon the work for a time till the fire, p which followed the explosion, could, be extinguished. The mine was then sealed up, and then flooded to subdue the fire, after which months T~ere required to clear the .mine of water and the tons of collected debris produced by the fire. '--^l WESTERN.

Abner Taylor Csn psn« the Sr*skWs BsUsg wMfc *fcat if Mr. BM4 Dltesstinf Silver. Chairman Bland opened the debate on the silver question in the House. The g»l**5rlcs were and the number of members on the floor of the Hongn was unusually large. Mr. Bland at the out­ set told the Farmers' Alliance members that they could not be treated , as a separate party in sharing the time for debate because there was no party in the silver question. Mr. Bland was at his best and he brought out the points of the silver men with unusual force. George Fred Williams led the speech for the opposition inside the Demoeratio party. In its economic discussion it was an able presentation of the subject. Messrs. Harter, Kayner, and other Democratic opponents of silver also got their inning. Col. Abner Taylor (Rep.) , who is 'a member of the Coinage com­ mittee, made a vigorous apeecu, con' trasting the way the rights of the minor­ ity had been overridden in the present House in the interest of free silver with the consideration which had been shown its supporters in the last Congress, when they were in the minority, by' Speaker Beed. Col. Taylor said the iueiwuiu was the most vicious one ever presented in the House. It has made the nomination of the idol of Democracy impossible and had forced every othjr Democratic candidate astride the •Jence, yet it must be passed to assist members in their election to the next Congress. After this prelimi­ nary scorching, Colonel Tayltn entered upon a searching analysis of the effect of free coinage. Ho yielded a portion of his time to A. J. Hopkins of the Au­ rora district. Mr. Hopkins made a con­ cise speech showing the weakness of free coinage and condemning the reck­ less folly which would jeopardize the financial interests of the country and deceive the farmer and the laboring man in order to try a dangerous experiment. * Mr. Bland said, In opening the dis­ cussion; It was just 100 years ago that the found­ ers of this Government adopted what we call "the doable standard." This provided for ihe coiuttgu u£ gold «uu sIlTsr ".vlthout limit at the mint? of the United Stale*; that silver should be coined the same as gold, should have t^e advantages and the same recognition. The silver dollars should consist of 371 4-100 grains of silver--pre­ cisely the dollar of silver that Is caliej for in this bill. This bill provides that gdld ane silver shall be coined at the ratio fixed by the act of 1837; that gold and silver shall be equal at the mints. In order th^t this equality should bo preserved It Is nec­ essary that silver should be put on the same plane in regard to the Issue of certifi­ cates at the mint as the gold. While this bill places gold and silver on an equality in the matter of the issue of coin notes In their deposits at the mints. It also maintains that equality by providing that when the coin notes shall be presented , for redemption the Government shall be free to redeem them either In gold or sliver as It may prefer. Thus coin notes issued on deposit of sold bullion may be redeemed in silver, or coin note* issued on deposit of stiver may be redeemed in gold, just aathe Treasury may prefer. In arguing for a greater volume of money, Mr. Bland said he would admit that the refined system of credits which has crown up in the country does to a certain extent economize the use of money, but in the end the day of pay­ ment of these obligations always came, and then we must have money. In 1881, when we had passed a bill for refunding the national debt, the national banks of the United States surrendered $18,000,-. 000 into the National Treasury as a threat made for the purpose of inducing a v<?to . from the President--a threat which effected its purpose--and the re­ sult of this withdrawal of $18,000,000 from circulation put interest up in New York at the rate of one cent a day. Notes and bonds are not money--they are con­ veniences. The whole fight ever this issue is between the capitalists who de­ mand interest and the people who de­ mand money Instead of interest. The gentleman denounced the periodic attempts made for International confer­ ences and International agreements every time the free coinage of silver is proposed, and said: Are we to be shackled here by the apathy of the governments of other nations? Is our financial system to be regulated, not by our own Ideas of justice and our own con­ veniences, but by the conveniences of other nation*? The moment that this great gov­ ernment declare* for the free coinage of silver the other commercial nations, too, will solve that question. Self-interest will compel them to do so. The restoration of silver here means the restoration of it ev­ erywhere--the world over. The moment you restore silver, if gold is taken from cir­ culation, prices will go down In proportion aud that necessitates money from abroad to purchase commodities here that gp down because of the contraction of money. Ev­ erything will be cheap. The man who holds bis gold is simply holding It for silver, for silver will take the channels of circulation. Let silver be coined once aid see what the result will be. You {pay have to pay a little more, if you have the two metals at par, but let us rcnember that as a rule when money Is plentiful prices .are gcol. Labor, after all, is the only money. Mr. Bland then explained the last section of the bill providing that when­ ever France opened its mints to free coinage of silver at a ratio of 15£ to 1, the United States should adopt that ratio. He called attention to the fact .that for seventy years France had by Jts open mints fixed the price of both tnetals and kept them on an unvarying Earity of 154 to 1- To allay any appre- ension that might arise because of the French ratio being 154 to 1, while ours was 16 to 1, it was proposed that the United States should adopt the ratio of 16$ to 1 wheuever France did eo. Continuing, Mr. Bland declared that the action of the Government of the United States on the silver question had been an invitation to Europe to go upon the gold standard. We began sliver's demonetization in 1872, and in all our efforts to restore silver we had been de­ feated by limitation. When a free coin­ age bill was passed in the House in 1878 by a two-thirds majority and sent to the Senate, the same idea of an international agreement was injected into the ques­ tion, and meanwhile we provided for the purchase of from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 a month. The last Congress passed an act to purchase $4,500,000 of silver monthly, and its friends proclaimed that it was done in the in­ terest of silver. He opposed that bill, and said the gentlemen were deceiving themselves and the country, and that silver could not be brought to par in any such manner. The law of 1878 compelled the coinage and use of the silver dollar. The law of the laft Con­ gress used the bullion as mere dead capital in the Treasury, which might as well be at the bottom of the Potomac. In conclusion, Mr. Bland said: I appeal to the gentlemen on this floor to lay aside every idea of party exlvency. every Idea but that which is ri;ht and Jhst, and to cast their votes according to the dictates of their own consciences and to the pledges they made to the greater productive musses of the country. If they do that this bill is sure; this cause is woo. ,the "out- #v»nssa4fce l#« nun- .. nww lfc(|fcn |n, <**y pre-. view* year.

Another Vigorous Notj Sent by the Presi­ dent to the Premier. Washington special: There has been a' long and earnest session of the Cab­ inet. The subject was the Behring Sea matter. No material statement is pub­ lished as to the discussion or conclusions. Nor has any information as yet been given as to the nature of Lord Salis- h;;rv's rsr.ly The r.r.'.y .official in forma tion that lias thus far been obtained re­ garding the Salisbury note is that it is deemed by the administration as unsat­ isfactory and evasive. By this it is un­ derstood that Lord Salisbury neither absolutely rejects nor agrees to the pro­ posed modus vivendi. An absolute re­ jection would have been more accepta­ ble to this Government than thd vague and unsatisfactory answer that has come. . . v It is ascertained that one result of the Cabinet meeting was that another dis­ patch was sent to Lord Salisbury by this Government. One who should know says this dispatch is peremptory in tone and that it demands a speedy categori­ cal answer to the inquiry as to whether or not a modus vivendi will be agreed upon. Your correspondent's informant says that the dispatch sent Lord Salis­ bury is in many respects as vigorous as the famous recent dispatch by President Harrison to Chill, which is characterized as the ultimatum. There seems to be among the Senators more of a disposition to reject the arbi­ tration treaty than there was a few days ago. It is not probable that the Presi­ dent will send to the Senate the last communication from Lord Salisbury until a reply shall have been received to the last note sent to Great Britain by the direction of the President. ,S?«Sft * s THAYER STILL FULL OF FIGHT. He Files s Motion for the Reopening of the Gubernatorial Contest. Ex-Governor Thayer, by his attorneys, Messrs. J. H. Blair, C. A. Goss and ex- Chief Justice M. B. Reese, appeared in the Supreme Court at Lincoln, Neb., and filed a motion for leave to reopen the Thayefr-Boyd. gubernatorial contest case, asking that the judgment rendered^ Mar. 16, 1892, on the mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, that the defendant go hence without delay and recover his ' costs, and execution be awarded . thereupon, be called, vaoated, and set aside; that the relator be given leave to file a reply to the answer of the de­ fendant, and that the case be .then set for trial. A notice was also served on Governor Boyd, informing him that at the opening of th# court,, .or as soon thereafter as the case can be heard, this motion for a reopening of the case will be presented to the court. Gover­ nor Boyd is unconcerned and is attend­ ing to the duties of his office as though there was no claimant to his title. He says that if the court allows the case to be reopened he will be readily able to prove his citizenship and will continue to act as Governor of Nebraska until such time as his successor shall be elected and qualified. Queer Use for an Car. In the old days in Western Penn­ sylvania, when people had little money to pay for teachers, and could spare their boys but little time from the work of the fields, schoo' "kept" almost incessantly during the few weeks when it was in session, with no Saturday holidays and very brief recesses. At one little schoolhouse among the mountains an old-fashion­ ed Irish schoolmaster was once em­ ployed, who kept his boys grinding steadily at their tasks, but gave them permission to nibble from their lunch baskets sometimes as they worked. One day, while the master was in­ structing a class in the rule of threo, he noticed that one of his pupils was paying more attention to a piece of apple pie than to the lesson. "Arrah, there!" said the master; "Jack Bales, be listening to the lisson, will ye !" "I'm listening, sir," saiu the boy. "Lis- tenin*, is it!" exclaimed the master; "then it's listenin' wid one ear .ye, are, an1 atln' poi with the other!"--San Francisco Argonaut.

In a message to the Senate transmit­ ting the recent correspondence with Lord Salisbury in regard to the Bering ~President Harrison inti­ mates that he is in favor of the seal fisheries hazards, regardless Great Britain. He has concluded that the British government is not desirous of co-operating with the United States as against the Canadian poachers, and that further efforts to secure an agree­ ment of the sort which would be rea­ sonably fair to this country are useless, A firm purpose to stand by the President was shown in the brief debate in the ex­ ecutive session of the Senate oyer the correspondence and the message accom­ panying it from the White House. The character of Lord Salisbury's FYMMNRTINATION WAS remarkable cause universal expressions of surprise and indignation. Lord Salisbury ob­ jects to the renewal of the modus vi­ vendi on the ground of the length of time likely to be taken in presenting the case to the arbitrators and in their de­ liberations after the case is before them. The British premier says, in substance, that if the modus vivendi is renewed this year an appeal will doubtless be made by ••the United States for its re­ newal again next year and the year after, and possibly the year after that. Lord Salisbury does not, consider this the proper way of dealing with the ques­ tion^ Hft cites the case of some negoti­ ations now going on between Portugal and Great Britain as an illustration of the delays incidental to arbitration of international disputes, and intimates that the. negotiations over Bering sea may last for three or four years. He also reiterates the old English ar­ gument that pelagic sealing is not de­ structive to seal iiie, and substantially intimates to President Harrison that it is a matter of indifference to the British Government what action is taken by this country. The plan he suggests by which the President may protect the interests of the United States during the long period cf the is rvgaiuod alike in the Cabinet and in the Senate as an indication of his disposition to treat the subject Trith little regard for Arncri can rights and little Inclination to assist in a satisfactory solution. He suggests that the Government of the United States may take a bond of the Canadian seal­ ers to indemnify the United States for the seals taken in case the arbitration goes against the Canadian claims, and that the United States shall give a bond at the same time to indemnify the seal­ ers for any loss they may suffer by American interference in case the arbi­ tration goes against this country. Lord .Salisbury does condescend to work out the details by which this remarkable treaty between the United States and a lot of irresponsible peachers shall be car­ ried out, but courteously leaves that for the consideration of the President. The mere reading of this remarkable com- communication in the last Cabinet meeting was enough to determine the 'Cabinet to stand by the President in the most decided measures he might feel CSIIOU upOu tO ttt&O. v The news quickly went round that a message from the Preslderit on the Bering Sea difficulty had arrived, and it was not long before the Senate went into executive session to receive it. The reading of Lord Salisbury's letter was listened to with great surprise, which . greatly whetted the appetites of Sena­ tors for the President's response. The response was generally commended as firm and to the point. The President renewed his former declaration that a modus vivendi seemed to him the natural and only proper manner of deal­ ing with the question, pending the action of impartial arbitrators. He did not dis­ cuss at great length the effect of pelagic sealing, for he considered Its destructive character sufficiently estab­ lished by the reports of experts and the facts already laid before the British Government. % The President declares Lord Salis­ bury's suggestion about exchanging bonds with the poachers to be impracti- ticable and undignified, and altogether beyond serious consideration by the Government of the United States. The President leaves a loophole still open for Lord Salisbury to accept the renewal of the modus vivendi, but declares that if the modus vivendi be not renewed this year he will not hold himself responsi­ ble for any consequences that may fol­ low. This is an almost literal quotation from the message prepared by the Presi­ dent, and is intended to intimate in the language of diplomacy that our Govern­ ment will endure no further trifling in the matter, and that, if the British Gov­ ernment refuses a reasonable arrange­ ment for the protection of the seals, the United States will enforce her extreme rights with* her full naval power. The usual motion followed the read­ ing of the papers in the Seriate to refer them to the Committee on Foreign Af­ fairs. "There was some running debate on this motion wnieh disclosed a general feeling of indignation against Lord Salisbury and a willingness to sustain tjie President. One of the Democratic Senators wanted the correspondence made public, but Senator Sherman ob­ jected, amtaueceeded in defeating the motion to make the letters public, but their importance and the gravity of the situation they disclosed were soon known to those • interested and were a lively subject of discussion about the. hotels at night. Senator Sherman is in favor of ratifying the treaty now pending and then following with whatever action may be necessary to enforce the laws against the poach­ ers, and protect the seals within the rec­ ognized jurisdiction of the United States, even if the entire navy be required for the purpose. Senator Teller and some of the other Western members,notably those from the Pacific coast, are not disposeo to notice the pending treaty any further, but favor immediate steps to arrest poaching, regardless of any feelings Great Britain may have on the subject after this ac­ tion. .

Mr. McKeighrun. of Nebraska, one of the People's party Representatives and a member of the Coinage Committee, and .
