WASHINWTON, August 10'.-The de 4 bate in the 1ouse today on the Wilson repeal bill began with but little ore liminary. It was started by Mr, lc Call (Rep.) of Massachusetts, in favor of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill, and was closed b Muses(Dem.)ef Georgia, in opposition thereto. Sandwiched bptween these two speeches were remarks by Coombs (Dem.) of New York, Bryan (Dem.) of Nebraska and Ifenderson (Itep.) of Iowa. The first named made au ad .9 dress, from a business standpoint, in favor of the repeal of the Sherman . law, and Bryan made the speech of the day, and although ie occupied more - than two hours in its delivery, he com manded the earnest attention of his colleagues throughout. le was one of the apostles pf bimetallism, and his sympathizers regarded his arguments an unanswerable. But the same thing was said of the 9 speech of Henderson by the opponents of free coinage, and, taken altogether, the day's debate might be put (own in the category of a drawnt battle. Mr. Bryan said that he would fully accom plish his purpose if lie were able to impress upon the members of this House the importance of the question which was now under consideration, and to quicken their approciatioin of - the grave responsibility which pressed upon them. Upon the action of this Congress depend not only the welfare of the United States, but the welfare of humanity itself for ages to come. Some outside of this hall had assumed that the recommendation of the Presi dent imposed some obligations upon Democratic members to do as h.e de sired, and some had even been hardy enough to suggest that a failure to fall in with recemmendations there maao ., would subject the dissenter to ad minl istrative displeasure; but those persons did the President great injustice. Tie President would not for a moment for get the independence of the two branches of Congress. Let the P:esi dent's own language rebuke those who would froiUfalse feeling change their convictions upon the subject in order to conform to his suggestions. In the message of 1885 t.o Congress, at the beginning ef the first session, a there would be found these words: "Tile zealous watchfulness of our con stituents, great and small, supplement, their suff rages, and before the tribmals they establish every public servant should be judged." Among tihe many grand truths expressed by our Presi dent, none disclosed a truer seiise and clearer conception of oflicial responsi bility, or spoke in clearer terms of our duty to our constituents. In 1885 the same forces were at work as were at work now; the same pressure wai brought to bear then as now. But fie called attention to the fact that th Democratic party atthattimein power recognized its duty to its country, and, be it said to the credit of t.hat party, that in this Ilouse onl[y 33 Democrats voted to sustain the recoinnendation and 130 stood by t he interests of tl ir constituents. It proved that, the Dem ocratic party at tha, time recogiizAl that the suggestion of tile President, came for consideration and not, for control. And time had demonstrateii that these Itepresentauves, follo wing the wishes of their people, reflecting the sentiments of t heir constitueincy, were wise; than the P?residetit, who re commended. If he could understand the latnguage of the m)essage, it meant butt one t,ing: It meant the burIal of silver, with no promise of resturrection. It was tile argument of the gold standard, It led 9 to universal gold monometallism, to the realm over whose door was writ ten, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." There is but one wvay of bringing gold from nbroad (except the issuing of gold bonds), and t,hat was t.o sell our products and secture t.he .sellow metal. But if we established a single gold st andard, gold would be put, upon the auction block. Every time gold weont abroad the farmers of (lie Unit.ed St,ates 4 must lower tile prices (of their produtcts. Then the farmers of England would lower their prices, in order to get the goldl back. Thenm we must again lower ours, and no one could1 tell the price at. which at last our prodtucts would set,tle down, lie was opposed to a single st andard of valume, be it goldI or silver, and was in favor of a double standard. TJhe question niow presentied was, whether the United States waIs going to say that it was an English coloney or an independent nation. [Applamise I. If there be some person living on the eastern shore who were better acftinat ed with the beautty of the Alps than with the grandeur of' the Rockies bet ter acquainted with the sunny ski*s of Italy than with tile Invigorating nreezes of the Mississippi valley, let, them K(now that there are penple who are willing to cast their all on fate of this Republic, andt ri..e or fall with it. [Applause]. Bryan spoke in favor of the r'eten tion of the ratio of 16; to 1, arguIng that an Increase of that ratio wotild be detrimental to an international agree ment as to the coinage of tihe t wo met als. The trouble now was not a lack of confidence in Great Britain. Thme United States had got along before without the confibence of England, and, thank God, it could (do 5o again. [Lau ghter.] He wantedI to restore Sconfidence among the people; but lie did not believe in curing a headache ny putting a mnustardl plaster to thie feet of the patient. [A pplause.j -Let some bill be pasBsed here which would make tile lianks safe places of deposit. It was the fear of the banks, and not of the government, that had caused tile present stringency. I t was asked that thtre should lbe peace. There could be no peace so long as there were people here who wouhd chain t his coun try to a single gold standard. There woulli be war here, and eternal war. |Applause.]I If the Democratic plat form meant anything, it means t,hat the Shlerman law was a makeshift; but it proposed something better than that, ad that somethling was a silver and gold coinage. The question was not whether the President Is honest or not; the question was whether he was rigir. rne i-resiaent nac won th( conildence' of the people; but he hat been deceived. iIe had said in his mes sage that the people demanded the re peal-of the Sherman act. Ile had heard from the boards of trade and from th chambers of commerce, but he had nol heard from the farmers or the men ir the workshops, and he could no mort judge of the opinion of the people thar he could measure thei ocean's depth[ by the ocean's wave. Let the friend of silver call the battle on, and neve leave the field until the people's money was restored. In conclusion, Bryan said: "The Democratic party stands tod ay betweor two conilicting forces. On the outside stand the corporate. Interests of the United States, the moneyed interests aggregated wealth and capital, imperi ots, arrogant, compassionless. The3 are able to subscribe magnificently t< campaign funds. They are able t( crush with influence any who may dar oppose, and to those who fawn an flatter they can bring ease and plenty These dtemands that the Democratic party shall become the agents to exe cute their merciless decrees. On thi other side stand an unnumbered thronp --those who gave to the Democratic party a name and for whom it has as umeid to sueak. Work worn and dust begrimed, they make their mute ap peal,and too often find their cry for hel beat in vain against the outer walls, while others less deserving gain ready access to legislative halls. This army, vast and daily vaster growing, pleads with the Democratic party to be its champion in this terrible conflict. It cannot press its claims amid sounds of revelry; it cannot march its phalanxes in gran. parade. No gaudy bannerF ,, oat upon the breeze. Its battle hymn i 'Home, i[ome, Sweet Home;' its warrior, 'Equality before the law. Between the f'orces hesitating in doubt which side to turn. yet conscious that upon its decision must rest its fate, stands the Democratic party, and to it standing thus, come the words of Is. rael's second Law-Giver: 'Choose ye this (lay whom ye will servt.' "Aye, my friends, let me invoke the memory of him whose dust made sa cred the soils of Monticello, when his spirit went to join the dead but scep tred sovereigns, who still rule our spir it from their narth. Thomas Jeffersom was called a demagogue; his followers were called a inoW- but he dared to fol. low the best promptings of his heart he dared to place man above matter humanity above poverty. lie dared tc spurn the bribes of wealth and power and to plead the cause of the commor people, and because of his dovotion tc their interests, the Democr:atic party was invincible while he lived, and be cause of that devotion his memory wil be revered while history endures. "What message comes from the Her mitage? Aye, there was other crisif in the affairs of Ihis government, muct like this. The national banks of that (lay sought to control the politics of the nation, and God raisedt up an An drew Jackson, who had the courage to grapple with the nation's enemy. By tverthroWing it he made himself the idol of the American people, and brought back to public confidence the Diemocratic party. We stand today, just after the greatest succeis in the history of the )omocratic party; and, standing upon this vict.ory-crowned suuinit, will the party turn its face to I he rising or setting sun ? Will it choose blessings or cursing.life or death -which -which ?" At te conclusion of Iryan's speech I ere Wre 111d CriPs Of "VoteL "Vote!" and It he Nebraska orator wa sunrrotinded by his colleagues, congrat ulatitig him iij)on his great effort. Air. liemiderson, llepablic:tn, s ild the most gratifying thing that could reach the people of the United States were these cries of "Vote, vote, vote." The people xpected early action, if Con. gress was going to act, at all. HIe would biegladi to come tto a vote at once. Four. teen days had beten set asidle by the De mocrats for debate; but he regretted thaht so) much tilne had been given. The country was congested by distress. Laboring men were bieing stricken trom the rolls by the thousands; the trteasury was closing its vaults; h)anka were tumbling, t heir doors were closed against the manufacturing interests; exchange~s were a thinig of the p)ast. Ini such an hour andl ini such a condition Congress hail been called toget her in extraordinary session, lie trembled when lhe thought ti.at the fever had only Juist broken out, lie trusted that this was only an errior of judgment, ('ongress was asked to come here, as a physician, to tre;t the alarming condi titon of the count ry.

At SH 11 o'clock the arbitrators reassemtled of in the room in the foreign ollice, in which the public sessions had been held. Barron De"'ourcel the president w of the tribunal, then delivered to the agents of the United States and Great ? Britain original copies of the decision signed by all arbitrators. Meanwhile, Baron De Courcel ad dressed the arbitrators, saying that he recognized the great value of arbitra- " tion as a cause of peace between na tions. lie expressed the opinion that 1fl every international arbitration renders "' war less possible, and said he looked forward to time in the near Iiture ci when it would be the rule, and not the exception, to settle international difli culties in this way. I Senator John Morgan, one of the a American arbitrators and Lord Ilan nen, one of the arbitrators appointed by Great Britain, responded to Baront Do Courcel, declaring that they recip- 9 rocated the sentiments expressed by 8 him aud recognized the hospitality tel dered by France to the arbitrators. Thesession terminated amid mutual congratulations and expressions of good feeling. After a preamble stting ' the ease submitted for decision, the iul text of the award reads as follows: TEXT OF TIFE AWARD. io We decide and determine as 1.0 tho re ive points mentioned in article 6, ai to Ci which our award is to embrace, a dis tinct decision upon each of them. As ty to the first of said points, we, Baron de Ct Courcel. John H-. Iarl:m, Lord Iti- gi nen, Sir John S. ). Thompson, Marquis tr; Emilios Tisconti-Venosta and G;i-Ae- co row W. Gram, being a majority of said c arbitrators, do decide as follows: By tt the ukase of 1821 Russia claimed the sea in now known as Bering sea to the extent l( of 100 Italian miles from the coast aid tl islands belonging to her, but in the tr course of thenegotiations which led to s( the conclusion of the treaty of 182 I it with Great Britain, Russia admitted that her jurisdiction in said sea shouti p be restricted so as to reach a cannon ' shot from shore. It appears that fromni that time up to the time of the cession i of Alaska to the United States ltissia l never assented, in fact, or exercised any exclusive jurisdiction in Bering sea, or ti any exclusive rights to the seal lishery b, therein, beyond the ordinary limit of' i territorial waters. at As to the second of the live points, ri the same arbitrators decide and deter- th mine that Great Britain did not recog- si nize or concede any claim upon the c part of Russia of exclusive j iiisdiction as to the seal fisheries in Bering Sea re outside the ordinary territorial waters. 1ht To the third point., as to so much li thereof as requires to decide wheth- mn er the body of water now known as the tie Bering Sea was included in the phrase fa "Pacilic Ocean," as used in the treaty l, of 1825 between Great Britain and Rius- hi: sia, we ianim ously decide that, the body of water now known as 1ering ll Sea was included in the phrase "l'acific p,& Ocean," as used in said treaty. On the fourth point., we decide and M detertnine that all the rights of RAussia in to jurisdiction and to the seal fisheries passed to the United States limited by the cession. On the fifth point the decision of the Jll tribunal, Justice Harlan and( Senator Ci Morgan dissenting, was as follows: M "On the fifth point wve, Baron de Cour- ne cel, Lord Hlannen, Sir John 5. D. 0 Thompson, Marquis Emilios VTisconi- i Venosta and Gregerow W. Gram, being the majority of said arbitrators, d.eide r and determine that the United States ? have no right to the protection of n property In the seals frequenting the W Islands of the United States in Biering M Sea when the same are found in the d14 ordinary three mile limit. Li.' "And whereat' the aforesaid defer- mi mination of the foregoing (juestions as th~ to the exclusive jurisdiction or the w<( United States leaves the subject in (i,I such a position that the concurrence o1 re Great Brilian is necessary to the est,ab- r lishment of regulations for the proper protection and preservation of [fir seals habitually resorting to Bering th Sea, we, Baron do Courcel, Lord llan nen, Marquis Emilois Visconti 'Venost a and Gregerow WV. Gram, being a ma- ~ .ority of the arbitrators, assent to thme whole nine articles 01' the regulations,ku as necessary outside of the jurisdictioni limits of the respective governmentisLi and that they should extend over the 9 water hereinafter mentionied'."w SERIES OF REGI;rLA'TIONs. wi A series of regulations were added hia by a majority of the arbitrators, Jlustice imi IIarlan andt Sir Jfohn Thompson dis8- w: tienting. By these a permanently pc closed zone of sixty miles is establishmeid ey around the Pribilov Islands. A close (i season against killing fur seals is c-s.h tablished from May 1 to ,Jully 31 on Lithe high sea In that part of the l'aciie iOcean inclusive of Bering Sea, situmated north of the 35th degree of north lati- 9" tude or eastward of the 180t,h degree of wI longitudie from Greenwich until it, h strikes the water bouindry described ini Sarticles of the treaty of 1867 between I the United States and lRussia, follow -1112 that line up to Bering Straits. t The use of sailing vessels only is permit,ted in the capture of seals. Seal in g vessels are to be licensed and carry a d isti mnguishing ilag. An accurate re c cord of the catch is enjoined upon each 00 sealing vessel. The use of nets, lire- t: arms or explosives is forbidden in fur pui sealing. A supervision of the litness WV of the men engaged in fur sealing is an enjoinedl upon the United States and let Great Britain. Native Indians are lv permitted to catch reals after their un original methods. Th'iese regutlaitions 18 are to remain In force until abohicid 1>r by common consent, and are to be sub - mitted to a new examination every five years. cmi The arbitrators made a special lind lng of the fac,ts agreed upon bly the agents of both governments with ref- of erence to the sefzure of British ve.ssels ca] In Bering sea in 1887 and 188. M In addition, the arbitrators make cer- cci Lain suggestions to the two govern- on mlens,the moat Important being that rgr< thysould oome to an understanding Idit to prohibit the killing of seals on land|I fir or sea for a period of f.om on en o.. thre ars, and should enact regulations i ( rry out, the finding of the arbitrators MORE'I TiHAN WAS EXPEC1&"TED.
