Boston, Sep. 4.—The wage earners had twiiutiful weather for their celebration today and "Labor Day" was never so extensively observed in this section before. The chief feature of the morning was tho big procession iu which were nearly 15,000 men. There were many elaborately decorated floats and fitting mottoes were profusely displayed all along the line. * There is no doubt that this suggestion, if it bo carried into Congress, as it undoubtedly will, will have a great deal to do with strengthening the repeal vote in the Senate, where soino of the southorn Senators •re kept from supporting the repeal by the notion that a stoppage of silver purchase and of the issuo of Treasury notes on the bullion purchased under the Sherman law will prevent that supply of currency for which the south has been making constant demands. Tho fact that the couferenco was restricted outside of tho executivo representatives to members of the House and the Speaker Indicated that the Administration if it intends to offer this proposition as a part of its policy, has determined tbot it shall proceed from the House and not from the Senate, and that It is not to bo made a compromise for the repeal bill. The Secretary, it is understood, asked the opinions of the other gentlemen about a proposition that was still to bo framed. It looked like a repeal of the statute imposing a tax on State banks and the issue to national banks and other banks that should qualify by taking State charters of circulating notes, uniform in appearance and prepared by the government. All national banks would transfer their charters and take out this circulation in place of that now issued, the notes for circulation to be so prepared as to afford ail the protection possible against counterfeiting and to lie supplied to the banks at an expense sufficient to compensate the government for preparing them. In place of the government bonds now required to be deposited to secure tlie money issue by banks of the States, the law would provide In each State, under the national law and In a uniform way, for the deposit of npprovod stocks aud bonds for security of it character to be decided ujmju as a matter of detail, the agreement to be alike as to nil the States. As the members of this conference wore reticent after the meeting, It is difficult to give the terms of the exact proposition put forward, bat it looked to tho adoption of u. State bank circulation secured as no Stato bank wns secured during the period before the war, and by such safeguards suggested by the National government us cau bo properly extended. Jt was stated that 57 national banks in the State of Massachusetts were prepared to surrender their national bank charters and to take up Stato charters fender a system like that indictated. Assurance was also given that there were many strong bunks in New York City that wotdd be ready to accept the plan when it had lieeu matured and submitted for the consideration of Congress. TO ABOLISH NATIONAL BANKS. Wall Street Takn Little Notice of th» Sccrfl Cotaferi'Bci* In ffitnlilnittiHi. New York, Sep. 4.—The report of the -■ccret conference which it was said was held in Washington last week, looking to tr:e shaping of a policy on the much discuwcd proiwsition to repeal the 10 per cent. State bank tax. boa not as yet created much discnision in Wall street. There nave been many pro posit ions sugi;iKted for the increase of the bank currency, and all have been opposed to some extent by men who insist that 10 per cent, tax on banks shall be repealed, so as to afford opportunity for the restoration of State bank circulation. The instability of some of the State bank money has always been responsible for the resistance to a return to this currency, and the fear of it renewal of the bills of the "wild cat" money days has made the opponents of the repeal very positive. But there have beeu many persons who have thought that a circulation of greater extent and flexibility could 'lie provided, and that perhaps it would be possible to supply a substitute for the national bunk currency that would have all its security and not depend on Government bonds, new or old, to secure it. Tho President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Representatives Hall, of Missouri, and Warner, of New York, members of tho House Committee on liaukiug and Curreucy, and one other person had a talk at the Treasury Saturday, about a plan which may be suggested to the House by bill, if it shall bo found to be acceptable to men of enlightened and conservative views of finance. SEPTEMBER 26, 27, Will b« held on the grounds of the Association in BROOKVILLE, PA., ON TUESSDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY 28 AND 29,1893 Also another joint resolution to jKTinlt the use of certain ensigns, flags mul signal numbers to decorate the Capitol and its approaches on that occasion. Among the numerous petitions presented for ami against the repeal of the Sherman Act was one by Mr. Harris (Dem., Tenn.) who described it ns "the stereotyped, printed, Wnll street form of petition." A bill was introduced by Mr. Gallagher (Rep. N. J.) supplemental to tho pension net of June 27, 1890. It provides (among other things) that, except in cases of established fraud, no pension ahull In- suspended or .withheld until after notice of ninety dnys to tho pensioner nnd after a full and impartial investigation. Mr. Gallagher addressed the Senate iu explanation and advocacy of tho bill, which was then referred to the Committeo on Pensions.Washigtox, Sep. 4.— Senator Cullom ia a pronounced bl-inotaiiBt, but talka Wpeal and unconditional repeal at that. Incidentally be seizes upon the occasion to defend the protectivo tnrilT system. Thus the debate runs along with no termination in night at present. The anti-silver managers know of only a half dozen aenntors who intend to adilre&s the Sennte legitimately upon the si.ver question, but the reserve powers of the silver senators have not been called upou, and their staying abilities cannot now bo gauged. This dim prospect of a direct veto on unconditional repeal has led many persons to wonder why some form of cloture is uot adopted in the Sennto. Of course it is known that many of the Democratic senators were ho strongly committed against the very principle of cloture, in the light against the Force bill that they would lind it very bard to change their attitude now. But another reason which is not so generally known is that cloture cannot ba adopted in the absence of cloture. Xhis seemingly paradox icnl HtaU-nieut, interpreted, means that before the Senate can be brought to n vote upon an nmcudment to the rules providing for cloture, it will be necessary for the vice-president or the presiding officer to actually apply cloture himself. This was tlio catm in the Force bill campaign, when Vice-President Morton refused to heed Senator Morgan's repeated appeals for recognition (something unprecedented in Senatorial history) and put the question on the adoption of the report of the rules committee providing a very mild form of cloture. So if cloture is to be applied to cut off debate on the silver question, it will doubtless be necessary for Vice-President Stevenson to follow Mr. Morton'a example iu this respect, and actually apply cloture himself. In the lost session ef the Senate Senator Palmer, of Illinois, somewhat surprised those of his colleagues who hold that the Constitution of the United States is so sacred on instrument that it should not be tampered with, by making a strong speech In favor of tlio proposition to amend the Constitution so as to permit of the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. The Senator has again asked the Senate to consider a Joint resolution looking to this end. The samo proposition lias been broached in the House iu years gone hy, but generally it came to n aught, mainly because the representatives feared that it would be a breach of good taste to legislate upon the subject iu advance of action in the Seuate, the body directly interested. Senator Sherman of Ohio is another seuator who does not regard tha United States constitution as a perfect production, or rather feels that it may be changed judiciously to suit the needs of the t ime« and he has now on the Senate calendar a joint resolution changing the date of Inauguration day to April BOth, being inspired to father it by tho remembrance of the frightful weather which Mr. Cleveland braved on the east portico of tho Capitol last March to doliver his address. Washington, Sep. 4.—Tho House joint resolution to make the 18th of September, 1803, it holiday within the District of Columbia (the 100th anniversary of the laying of the corner-stone of tho Capitol of the United States) was laid before the Senate and passed.

Attempt to Rescue tho Mid- •I Ivsboro Farm Robbers. Louisville, Ky., Serf. 4.—A mob of determined men, evidently part, of the Martin ganc of outlaws, made a raid on the Priceville jail Saturday night and tried to rescue the Martins, ivrrested for attempted assassination of passengers on a train of the Mtddlesborough Belt Line Railroad.
