4. There was a sharp contest; between finauce and lnbor the senate today, but, as usual, capital won the day. Mr. Allen of Nebraska made an attempt to secure an adjournment in honor of Labor Day.and was ably seconded by Messrs. Peffer, Irby and others.

Mr. Voorhees warmly opposed the proposition, and insisted that no higher compliment could be paid to labor than to proceed at once with the important legislation before the senate. The position of the chairman of the committee on finance was supported on roll call by a vote of 41 to 8. Mr. Kyle of South Dakota offered a free-coinage amendment to the repeal bill, which was referred to the fiuance committee and the bill was taken up, and Mr.

Cul-lum of Illinois proceeded to address the senate in its favor. At the conclusion of Mr. Cullom's remarks Mr. Coke of Texas obtained the floor. In part, he said: 'The settlement of the money problem cnu only be made by the establishment of a bimetallic currency it existed prior to 1873.

If the gold btandard be established in America, then the Rothschilds and the Batik of England, with their New York a-isociates, will become the arbiters of American finance and the dictators of our financial policy. The abandonment of silver by the United States would be its death knell, except in subordinate ways and for subsidiary coinage." When Mr. Coke had concluded the sen- the nominations of ceitain officers, whose confirmation, Mr. Berry of Arkansas said, was esseuiiHJ to cunj iuiu cu nut jjicsi-dent's proclamation opeuiug the Cherokee strip on sept. in.

At 3:30 a'cljck the senate resumed the legislative session, aud Mr. Peffer's amendment to the repeal bill providing for the freu coinage ol the pending question, was read, preparatory to Mr l'effer's addressing the senate. He said that as it was not the desire of the senate to proceed longer at this time, he would defer hij remarks until tomorrow. Mr. Voorhees said that under ordinnry circumstances he would ask the senate to adjourn, but at present he would ask the senate to continue iu session.

Mr. Jones of Nevada moved an adjournment, whereupon Mr. Hale demanded the yeas and nays. The motion to adjourn was rejected yeae, 1J; nays, ol lesumeu the floor in advocacy of his amendment. Mr.

Peffer said that the administration was not proposing to discuss the philosophy of fiuance. It came to congress with a demand for a particular act the repeal of the Shermau law. It suggested no policy which would admit of the usual compromises iu lecislative proceedings. It is repeal or nothing. So far as concerned the people he represented they accepted the demand iu tho spirit in which it was uiven.

The administration pro- t7 tr'n nn nunrtpi" lii npnnln nro- posed to give none. He called atteutiou to the fact that a very large majority of tho farmers in the south weic members of the Farmers' Alliance, and that one of the cardtuitl doctrines of the alliauce is the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the old ratio. The alliauce all through tho south had, he said, catechised all candidates for office upon the cnrdinal tenets of its creed. aud hail supported no one ior any important office wnowasnot in sympuhy with its views, and who was not willing to so express himself. Mr.

Peffer hero read a letter from Senator Gordon, who is now in favor of repeal, writteu to the alliance, expressing his sympathy with it and his approval of its doctrines. Coming down to 1S92, Mr. Peffer said that North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas would all have voted for the populist candidates for the presidency and the vice presidency had it not been for the promises maue uy me icuuciaui. unc tmu about the same number oframendments as were introduced iu the house for an increase In ratio. Some important financial legislation by congress seems to be likely when the silver purchasing question shall have been disposed of.

-Tne opinion 13 expressed by Mr. Springer of the house committee on bauking and currency' and by Chairman Voorhees and Mr. Allison of the senate committee on finance that a law will take the place' of the silver measure now upon the statute books, although its enactment will in" wise be connected with it. The house committee on banking and currency will during the next two weeks speud mosFof its time in the work of devising a plan for' an expansion of the volume of currency to meet the increase iu population. A NEW BANKING SYSTEM.

Washington, Sept. 4. The administration's proposed new system of banking creates much discussion. It is so evideutly intended ns a palliative-to the south and west for the loss of silver that the ardent reecoinage Democrats from those sections are rather distrustful. The administration proposes that the 10 per cent tax: on state bank currency shall be repealed with WUUUlbiUUS.

-LUG UUUU4WV. t-nf-a liniiL-a imri national hanks also. shall reorganize under a new system which, shall embrace features of the present State banks and national banks, and also some new These reorganized banks are to take out state charters. Iu this respect they will be state banks. The currency which the banks are to issue is to be furnished them by the government, as national banks are now furnished with their notes, at the cost of manufacture.

This will throw around the new currency all the present safeguards. against counterfeiting, and will insure uniforn notes in all the states. The new currency is to be based not upon government bonds, but upon other bonds and approved securities, which are to bo deposited in each state, according to a plan whictthe new system will.provide. The government is to extend over this new system' a plan of supervision and examination whlcn will give to the currency the same security that the public now "feels in national bank notes. The'perfection of the system looks to state banks and state bink circulation, with government regulation of the kind which inspires the public confidence iu the prea- unl tinrintml l.riL- Ultra states'-rights Democrats have always maintained that the 10 percent tax was? violation ot the spirit of toe constitution.

They are for its repeal without conditions; they do not see how a conditional repeal will be any the less uconstitu-lioual. The idea, however, of anew bauking system.partly state aud partly national, has taken strong hold ou the mind of the president, aud he is very much iu favor of it. He thinks it will give the increased circulation for which the south and west are clamoring, and also that it will put into the volume of currency the flexibility which is now so conspicuously lacking. The presidents not iu.favor of repeal of the state bauk taxuuieasit can be done iu the way outlined. The extent to which banking interests are supporting the uewseheme is oue of the blrange things about it.

Iu Saturday night's dispatches meutiou was made of i he practical unanimity of the Chicago and St. Louis bu'iks in favor stale bauk charters and circulation, with such govern ment regulation as will insure reneuu securitv aud confidence in the new money. It is afso learned that fifty-seven Massachusetts national-banks are willing toglve up their charters, organize under state laws, and issue currency to be based on lmtwl mill ritlipr nnnrnvcil securitv. At the conference held Secretary Carlisle's rooms on Saturday it was. stated that many strong banks iu New York City were willing to go into the newysteni.

It is perhaps worthy of note that Chairman Springerof the committee on bauk ing and currency, tntouun wnicu me au-miuistratiou banking bill must reach the house, was not present at the conference. Two other Democratic members of the committee, Mr. Warner aud Mr. Hall, were ltivited. Mr.

Soriuger is opposed to the repeal of th state bank circulation taxs a bold proposition. He was not given an opportunity to say how he would view the repeal coupled with the proposed new system of bauking. The majority of tlie committee has been with Mr. Springer in opposition to repeal. Mr.

Cobb of Missouri has been until now opposed to repeal. But it is probable the. administration bill will not wjint for a majority report when all the conditions are presented. The conference adjourned with the understanding that Carlisle would drafta bill setting forth this repeal of the 10 cent, tax, aud the conditions for the new currency to he issued by the slate banks.

LARNED, Sept. 4. Special. Saturday was convention day for the populists and Democrats. The intention was to fuse if such could be done, but there were many in each party opposed to any further partnership.

The Democrats sent committee to the populist convention to learn the terms and conditions. The populists at first refused to appoint a committee, but, upou au appeal founded on good manners and old they consented and met the Democratic jomraittee, who demanded the register and the county commissioner. Tho pop- nllSi couimiiaee uuercu uun me register. The Democratic committee came to their convention and reported process. The Democratic committee then sent in Mr.

Carpenter, making a demand for register aud county commissioner, and asking a quick reply, indicating suspense; whereupon the pCuuhsts called the roll and the chairman declared fusion lost by an overwhelming vote. Mr. Carpenter left amid hlRtits and jeers. When Mr Carpenter reported the D2tnocratic convention adjourned in disgust. The populists say ilia: they will elect their ticket by20J majority.

Next Saturday the Republican county convention will be held, and the Fawuees will give a strong pull. THE OKLAHOMA APPOINTMENTS. Washington, Sept. 4. Tne executive session of the senate today was devoted to the consideration of tne nominations for the Oklahoma laud cilices.

In making these appointments the president selected non-residents. The Republic ins did not fail to point out this fact, either in committee, where the nominations were considered this morning, or in executive session this afternoon. While there was no stu'nboru opposition, some of them twitted the Democratic senators upoa the failure of the president to observe the home-rule plauk of the Democratic pl-itform, and the acq uiescetice of the senators iu the violation of that plank. At tern brief discussion of the question an aye and no vote was called for, and the nomination' were all confirmed except thatof J. J.

Hassler or North Dakota, who had been appointed receiver of the land office at Eaiii, O. T. This nominatiou had uot been reported with friiri will bo some onnosition when this nomination is reported, but his Arkansas ClTT. Sept 4. In view of the fact that many conflicting reports have been sent to the dailies thronghout the north and east concerning the number ot homeseekers along the Kansas border of the Cherokee strip by persons who have a pecuniary interest in attracting settlers to their several locations, a representative of the Associated Press was detailed to make an investigation of the truth or falsity of the different re ports.

A trip extending from Arkansas City to immediately south of Anthony, a distance of sixty-five miles, was made, and it can be said witnaosoiurH certainty mas there are today less than 5.000 people.iuclnd- in KLtrlunt nf niHp-i towns, who ex'pect to make a ruu for quarter-sections or tor town lots in tne vast country iu ue opened on the 16th inst. A thorough investigation at the camps and interviews with merchauts who supply settlers shows that less than 2,000 homeseekers are in and around Arkausas City. Iu consequence of the prevailing drouth throughout southern Kansas a larger number is drawn to Arkansas City than to auy other point ou account of the abundant suplly of water lurnisned by the Arkausas and Walnut rivers and the springs from which this city of 10,000 people draws its supply. Another factor assigned by citizens aud boomers for the large number gathering here is the generally accented opinion that the gulf division of the Santa Fe runs through the most, fertile portion of the strip. It is along this Hue, it is claimed, that many towns and cities will ba built.

CALDWELL, Sept. 4. The order given by theecretary of tho interior to eject all persons trom the Cherokee strip is beiug'faitbfully complied with by the soldiers at this Dlace. Every day boomers ne brought back who have attempted to nntoonxii tr rnnntrv. Tile drivers of a good many wagons have been arrested while enrouio through the strip.

These people generally have their liliug papers with them, showing that they have land and are simply going through the country to their homes. That makes uo difference to Uncle Sam's sentinels. They have orders to allow uo one to pass aud enforce them to the letter. The rush up to this time has beeii mostly from western aud central Kansas and Missouri, but as the time draws near for the race people are coming from a distance by rail. The Rock Island railway brought in a load last night aud another this morning, mostly from Colorado and the west.

THE BATTLE AT INGALLS. Details of the Conflict Between Federal Marshals and Ontlawi six men. supposed to be George Newcomb, alias "Bitter Creek." William Dolin, Tom Jones. "TulsA Jack," "Drnamito Dick," and Bill D.iltou. At about 9 o'clock iu the morning the mirshals arranged their forces north, northwest and eass or tne notei.

so as to cover iuo street leading to and from it, and advanced cautiously. As soon as they were seen some of the gang's sympathizers gave the alarm. It is claimed that a woman named Anderson, commonly reported to be New-combs mistress, warned, them of tho marshal's approach. At this time five ot the outlaws were in the hotel, while Newcmnb was oa his horse iu the street near Ransom's saloon. Immediately upon the giving of the alarm by the woman, four of them rushed down the street and across is Into Ransom's saloon, leaviug Tom.

Jones in the upstairs of the hotel to cover their retreat. The marshals immediately opened fire on Newcomband tfea saloon which was returned by the outlaws. Almost at the first fire Dallas Simmons, a young man about twontv-three years old, who was simply a bystander, fell mortally wounded shot through the hips and bowels, dying about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Immediately afterward Richard Speed, a United States marshal from Perktus, fell lataliy wouuueu, uyiug almost lusutuwj, beiug shot through the stomach. Owen W.iIL-ai.

linfal t-iiun frnm bystander, was shot through the liver and will probably die. T. Houston, a marshal, was then shot iu the Teft thigh and almost limmediately afterwards was shot iu the lower part of the abdomen, makiuc a wound from which lie died at noon on Saturday. A. J.

Shadley, deputy marshal, was then shot three times in the lower bowels, ranging upward into the body, and fatally wounded. Several others were slightly wounded. The marshals kept up a regular fusillade on Ransom's saloon until about 12 o'clock. At that time the four bandits iu the saloon mado their way into the livery stable adjoiuing where their horses were quartered, saddled them up nnd rode away toward tne southwest. As they rode awav a heavy firing was kept up by the officers, resulting in the killing of oue of their horses and tho severe wounding of another and the probable wounding of two of the bandits.

Tho five bandits rode away on four horses. After the escape of the five, attontion was agaiu directed to tho bandit concealed iu tho hotel. The fatalities already suf-fured rendered tho officers cautious, and it was determtnea to ourn me uuuuiuguuwii unless the bandit surrendered. After a parley he surrendered at. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, proving to be Tom Jones, alias "Arkansas Tom." Joues did more execution than any oue else.

Concealed iu the hotel, he had a complete survey of the entire town uud every timo a man ex-nnspd himself he nicked him off. Proof is complete that Jones killed Speed and Simmons and iatauy wouuueu iiuu and Shadley. A complete list of tho killed nnd wounded is as follows: Richard Speed, marshal, killed; Dallas Simmons, spectator, killed; T. J. Houston, marshal, killed; L.

J. Shadley, marshal, killed; Owen Walker, spectator, fatally wounded; N. D. Murray, bar-teuder in Rmsom's saloon, shot in right urm; large bono fractured. William Ransom, spectator, shot in calf of leg; tlesh wound.

Frankie Briggs, a boy 14 yenrs old, spectator, wound iu left shoulder; flesh wound. Of the outlaws William Doolin is up-insi-d to hiive his left arm brokeu. Bill Dalton is wounded two or three time about the alwloinen, and George Newcomb was wouuded iu the left groin. Seven or eight horses and mules were killed during the melee. It i estimated that at least 500 shoLs were exchanged, liansom's saloon is riddled with bullets, and the portion of the town where the conflict occurred looks like a scene of battle.

A largo posse was organized ny Ssnoriu M. Burdlck ns soon as the news reached here, about 1 o'clock. S. P. King, county attorney, and Freeman E.
