SILVER AND GOLD.
An International Conference Proposed by
senator Allison.
New York Tribune.l

WASHINGTON. Nov 22-Below is q copy of the
proposition for an international conference
respecting the relative values Of gold and silver
which was offered by Senator Allison, in the Fl
nance Committee, as an amendment to the
House silver bill. The committee, by vote OF
five to two. refused to adopt it as an amendment
to The pending bill. but those who voted against
it intimated their willingness to favor its enact
ment as an independent measure. Mr.. Allison
intends to offer it as an amendment to the bill
in the Senate. and in case it is not thus adopted
will introduce it subsequently as separate
bill in which shape favorable report by the
committee is assured. The proposition Is as
follows:
SECTION -. That Immediately after the pas
sage Of this act the President shall invite the
governments OF the countries composing the
Latin Monetary Union, so-called, and OF such
other European nations as he may deem ad. !
visabie to join the United States in eonffsr.
ence to adopt a common ratio OF legal-tende az
between silver and gold, for the purpose OF es-

Senate Is still In session, and the meis>heing
consumed in roll calls on dlatory motions and
amendments varied with occasional parlia-
mentary passages at arms. 1t Is noticeable
however that the Senators are getting better

md the occasional little debates are much less
acrimonious,
Only about half the Senate is now on the floor,
the other half having paired Off and gone to
sleep to come on watch again about q. m,
when the half now on duty will take rest The
object OF the Republicans in this sort of flibust-
ering Is not clearly apparent. rs they all admit
that they have no hope Of defeating Butler.
Patterson and Conover say that they will sit 1t
out until Saturday night rather than yield to
theleast compromise which affects the seating
Oh Butler. The session Will undoubtedly last
all night, and may be prolonged all day to-mor-
row without recess.
Field Marshal Thurman has been at his post
without intermission since noon, and has been
on the floor for remarks Of greater or less

Is said by the most experienced and widely
read parlamentarians, to be unexceled in the
history of deliberative contests.
AT this hour the galleries are still we'll filled,
and public interest runs as high as 1t did at any
period OF the electoral count, and well 1t may,
for the contest has become one for the political
control of the Senate itself. as well as for the
seating of Butler and his fellow claimants.

morning, with full attendance OF its members,
and although the vote taken on yesterday after
norm fully settled the Kellogg Spofford case by
the matter was again considered this morning.
y will be remembered that the, late Senator
Morton, during his reign as chairman of the
spring prepared a report favorable to Kellogg
upon his prima facie right TO a seat. The ques-
ton, therefore. that exercised the committee
this morning was the manner in which the re-
port to be submitted to the Senate on Monday
ever. by a resolution which was adopted setting
forth the fact that upon the merits of the case
Kellogg is entitled to his seat in the Senate and
that therefore Spotford. the claimant of the same
seat, is not entitled toit. Mr.. Wadleigh, chair
man Of the committee. was thereupon instruct
ed to draw up report. There will also be
minority report by the three Democratic Sem

the assistance of spotford himself. will prepare.
Ii was then agreed by unanimous vote to pro-

lutions adopted are the following:
Resolved That it is the sense of the bar Of JEFF

socially and professionally with Judge Smiley,
that he is an honorable, conscientious and in
corruptible public offic~r-a man who has al
ways exhibited marked integrity and profound
learning on the bench, whose probity cannot, in
our opinion, be successfully impeached.
ResoLyed That we have profound respect
fer his high-toned judicial character, and we
deeply regret to see any attempt to injure or
destroy his weIl-earned reputation. which he
has acquired by many. years OF professional
labor at the lar and on the bench.

Gordon had some documents in his pocket,
