Tlu'ro W'mm it l.n rKf Attendance ut (lie I. ii m( Sen* Ion. lly Southern Associated Prcae. Chicago, III., July 29. ? The Horr-llar vcy silver debate came. to an end to day. 10 very seat in *tho Art fJaJlery of the lllinolH Club was occupied when the time came for the closing session of the great war of words, and the walls were lined with listeners eager to catch the closing remarks of the contestants. Twenty-four hours in all have been consumed in the. debate which rau through eight days, and 1-15,000 words in nil were spoken, according to the original agreenunt. 'Dm two gentle men still have 2, .">00 words in which to close. This is to he submitted In man uscript any time within seven days, to be inserted in the book which is to be published. During tnc entire debute, ^Mr. llarvcy read from a manuscript. The audience was on every occasion composed mainly of free silver men, and did not seem to wteary of Mr. Harvey's reading, but cheered him at every op portunity. Mr. Harvey this afternoon denied that be had been furnished with money by silver mine owners to aid in the debate, and the tone in which he said "l was not hired to talk here," seemed to indicate that he thought ills opponent was. Kfs< bilious were passed thanking the Illinois ( bib for the use of their house, and expressed appreciation of all that Innl been done by variciis ladies and gentlemen "to assist In carrying out the debate. A resolution wa^ also passed, (hanking lioth Messrs. llorr and Harvey 'for the information which they have presented to the public since the debate began. (Knd of insert.) Mr. llorr led with the swoop lug assertion that in the fowl cases in which the figures cited by Mr. Harvey were correct they hnxl tended to weaken his own arguments. He then referred to Mr. Harvey's state ment which tho latter had said wai based upon the authority of Carroll r>. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor, to the effect that there wer? between two and four million unem ployed jnen in the country. In refu tation of these figures he produced a telegram from Mr. Wright expressly disclaiming them. The effect of this shot was spoiled, however, by Mr. Harvey's explanation that these were the only figures that he had used in his book that had not been verified,, and that immediately after the ap pearance of the first edition" 'he had written to Mr. Wright, and upon re ceipt of his reply liafl erased the in correct data from the stereotyped plates of the book. After this tempo rary digression the silver champion expressed his obligations to everyone who had assisted, him in the debate. Then he said: "In all history, in the struggle be twW'ii liberty and oppression, -as *1iey have alternately risen and fallen, it has been truthfully said that a free press Is the greatest T>ulwark of lib erty. As oppression ?rlsOT5 thtf'prcss Is the most used. It Is "brought up and made to speak deceit and mislead the people. Mr. Harvey then complimented two morning papers for their extended re ports of the debit ti* Mr. Horr, in replying to Mr. Har vey's criticism of the pi ess, saidj?he had nothing to say against the papers mentioned nor any of the other pm>crs \ in the city. "Some of them," he' said, "have, treated me as they saw fit. I had one paper thrust in my face at n. tho door of" this building, with a col umn of belittling remarks about me that were very cutting, but when I found upon further perusal that tho fellow favored free coinage of silver and favored it only because i t ? Aas a / step to break all the laws of the coun try. I found out that It was the worst kind of anarchist sheet, and I threw it to one side. "Rut. whj-n you come to the Rroat American press as a whede, I have no fault to find with th<*m. . As a rule, the insinuation that tho leading press of this country Can be bought for the purpose of producing legislation In the interest of any particular people against the great Interest of the citi zens of the United States, I do not be lieve it." Mr. Harvey ncsumcd the thread of his argument by 'producing a printed table showing the amount of silver coined annually from 179'4 to IS73, for the purpose of demonstrating the falsi ty i>f the statement made by the mono mctallists that for the first fifty years ikf the present century the United States was on a silver basis and on a gold basis from 1850 to 187:t. The statement, he said, that gold did not seek the mints for the i:irst fifty years and that silver did not seek tin* mints f??r the last thirty year* prior to IST.'t is not true. On account of the great use of gold In the arts he main tained that there was not enough of the yellow metal to answer the needs of lllOlieV. Mr. llorr maintained his previous llta^tcmcnts that no nation alone can es l;i!>rW| the ohrtfltio of 10 to 1 and he did not lielleve that Mr. Harvey thinks any one nation ran. do it. Nations, by their laws, do not fix tin- value of thing"- They rannoi do it if they try. The actual value of the two metals at the present tluu* is wide npart. The ra tio of ffl 1 w today, m thine of thi> past. Almost from the earliest founda tion of society, the relative value be tween gold and silver has been fixed by the people of the world and not by legislation. "Mr, Ha^fey and I agree that the f?0 coin*?'e of silver will de crease the measure of rail ft". used in this ronntry. The harden of Jiia whole talk in this debate fa that w# ought to have a cheaper measure, (hat the unit ia 9 worth too much, so now we agree that It will cbsDfe tto measure. Mr. Harrej < says that in what ought to be dune 1??* - cause (lu> whole world 1m in doubt and our cou ii try Is on the brink of ruin be cause the present dollar is too valualde. That is a position in which 1 differ from him. The dohts of tho day have all heen contracted with tlio gold dollar as the measure and to relieve the payment of them in any way l?y a trick of this kind is repudiation. Mr. Harvey continued his quotations from statistics rotating to the world's supply of gold. The more costly either gold or silver becomes, he said, Uid greater the demand among the rich for it for ornaments. Where the dearer is used exclusively for primary money it i.s the one that Is hoarded. 'When gold and silver were both paed as money in their own right, silver was hoarded by the plain people, and was brought forth to serve them 1n time of need, ({old is principally hoarded by tho rich to serve a purpose lu building the money market. Hoarding of silver h.v the people was beneficial; hoarding of gold Is an in jury. The cause of boarding in the two instances is different, lu tho first Instance it Is to serve a natural law providing for the future; In tho second instance, it is a commercial motive af fecting Injuriously the community. This is one of the reasons why silver has always proved the inoro stable money . Mr. Ilorr referred to Mr. Harvey's habit of comparing size as having Home thing to do with value and stated that the amount of gold in the world nil put into a cube has not anything to do with how much it is worth. He ac cused Mr. Harvey of comparing things that are not alike with each other and when a man does that, he naid, he is always in the wrong. Now, there Is no disguising the issue between lis. It is simply this: Can we benefit the people of this republic now by making a dollar i? - tin about half as much as it now means? Can we benefit them by making it seem any considerable amount lens than it now is by making it actually lef-s in value. We may disguise it as much as we will, the free coinage of silver on a ratio of 1(5 to I means sil ver monometallism. .Mr. Harvey maintained that there will he a , commercial purity between gold anil silver, at the ratio of 10 to 1, if the law is passed putting both metals on an equal footing at that ratio'. What is meant by an equal footing Is that both shall have the rl?ht to outer the mints free, to be coined into money with 23.22 grains of pure gold to bo a dollar, and 371 1-4 grains of pure sil ver to be a dollar. The money made from lM>tli metals to be full legal-tender money in the payment of all debts, and the debtor to have the rl?ht to pay In either metal. The supply <vf silver Is limited. When a great nation like this, whose normal capacity for the absorp tion of money In the trans action of its normal busi ness is not far from four thousand dollars opens Its mints to silver It fixes the price of silver the world over. So long as the supply of silver is limited, as it Is now, no one will part with It for any less than they can get for it In the United States. Mr. Horr will say to this, "The Government does not buy the silver under free colhage. It stamps it and hands it back to the owner worth no more than when he brought it to the mint." What the Government has done is this: It has given to silver a new use and the use is what give to it its value. Mr. Horr closed the debate with an eloquent peroration oo *he revival of busi ness, of the appeal of Cuba against op pression ; of the distressing situation of the Sou tih America republics and sa,id: "We are fifflitlnK' "the battle of liberty for the world. (Applause.) The result or your verdict tipon this momentous question will be worldwide. It will con ey words of cheer and stimulate tho ner ves of free men In every land." UNION UA.1K FAILS.

The county commissioners declined the proffer and demanded from Mr. Woodbury's bank the $75,000 of county funds he held. The bank did not pay. but closed up.

Two deputy sheriffs are known to have been killed, and It Ik said that half a dozen negroes wciv 1 shot, four or live fatally. The town is In a state of panic, and the telegraph operator, the only source of Informa tion is locked In his otllce, too fright ened to go outside to obtain details. At 10 o'clock messages were received by Sheriff Morrow and Chief of Police McDonald. Cor all the available olll cci*s they cotild send. An hour later, a car load of deputies were enroute to the scene of?the trouble. Today Mine Boss Cttlverhouse, of the Sloss Iron and Steel Company, discharg ed a negro driver named Jim Biggei;s. Biggers remained about the place mak ing threats. He refused to leave the company's premises and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest for trespass ing, and tonight Deputy Sheriff A. S. Wood ami Special Deputy Joel Baxter went (o arrest Biggers. As they ap proached Biggers liretl upon them with a Winchester rllle. A bullet passed through Wood's head and anothei through his heart, killing him instantly. Baxter was mortally wounded, but was able to get back to the camp and give the alarm. The white miners at once organized and wk-tit to arrest Biggers. The latter meanwhile called in a num ber of negro friends and the two parties met, a pitched battle resulted . Over tine hundred shots were lired, the negroes finally going to the woods. It is said that half a dozen or more nr. groes were nhot down, several of whom were killed outright and the others badly wounded. Whether any of the whluss were wounded or not cannot be learned The name* of the killed and wounded ne groes could not he had. The town of Hrookslde Is ifi a ?taie of panic, every man being armed. The shooting was kept up at intervals I for two 'hours. Another attack by the negroes Is feared, but it in not likely to occur after the officers arrive. lllggers and his pals are hiding In the woods, but will be 'taken dead or alive. Brookside ban been the scene of race troubles be. fore. Hoth colored and white miners work there, but the feeling ha*t not been very cordial, ' especially since hint summer's strike w*hen negroes went to work in white ?miners' place*. It only required tonight's murder to kindle the flame of the old ieud. Deputy Woods, who was killed, was ex. Sheriff of Talladega county, and leaves a wife and several children.

The Massa chunctla' ltcncflt 1 ft* Association. of this city, was the flrHt Insurance com i>any to unearth the frauds which wore being practiced at Beaufort, N. C. They ivcelved a tip from so pie anony mous correspondent about three months a?o, ami the wholesale arrests ycsleVday worn the result Of the in vest (Ration started by this company. The olllclal who had charge of the ease is on I tape i'Vnl, but Mr. J. Roland f<'oi(hell. one of the company's adjus ters, Rave a pre?*? representative an outline of the ease as he heard It dls ciisseil In the^offlce. Mr. Corthell says: "As I overheard the discussion 1 Rot the Impression that there was a very complete plot to defraud the Insur ance company, but 1 cannot tell you how many were connected with it. nor their names. As I understand the ease, we appointed an agent to take charge ofa ellTU TUT 1 IT A It AOI> charge of that territory about a year ago. In the course of time sve wrote pedicles for several persons In Beau fort, N .('. The papers were properly made out. and everything seemed to he done In a legitimate. manner. Then we were notified of deaths, one after anothcr..\Untll three claims had hcen made. We carried about a dozen poli cies, representing u faee value t>f be tween J-r. 0,000 and 160.000. Tl..? last claim was on account of the death of a Mrs. Freda Williams. Just about that time we received an anonymous letter to the effect that our agent In Beaufort was taking risks which no Insurance company In Tleaufort would think of taking If all the facts were It now ii at the ma I it ofllee. We Imme diately sent an Inspector to Investi gate the matter, and he notified Ms iu>t lo pay any of the elalins. It seeins thiit our ttireiit had. organized a regu lar t>n ml of conspirators to defraud insurance companies all over the coun try. The plot Involved men of pre vious high standing, who were even then on their death beds. Some were sick lit the time the policies were made out on their representations that the insured were healthy and a proper risk. Home were insured for large amounts who were living In abject poverty, and could not pay a dollar for insurance. Not one of the policies as I understand the case, was a prop er risk for a reputable Insurance com pany to make. Yet, so complete was I lie organization of the conspirators that all I hi* papers bore the signatures of the necessary endorsers. Nothing was missing that could In any way arouse suspicion at the home ofTlce. You must remember that ours Is the only one of the victimized companies. The same deception wa? practiced In other cases. We are satisfied that Mrs. Williams was murdered in order to secure the Insurance money. There are suspicious circumstances surround ing other cases, and we purpose t*? push the investigation until the whole plot be exposed, no matter who be in volved In it." * Protect the C*i?nie h iid FIhIi, Shoot or fish only III the proper sea son nnd eseripe < Iio ghmo warden b? observing the laws.
