BULLDOZING SMITH.

Standing OF the Wisconsin, Senate on ths
Question of Confirming Gen. Rnsk
MADISON, WIS.,, JAN. 25.-The ques
night stands as follows: There are eight
republican that are committed against confr
nation. being senator's Grimmer, VanShack,
Torrey, Burrows, Arnold. Hathaway, Loper.
and Price.
Ten democrats have agreed to support the
action of Senator Anderson, the democratic
member of the commission of State affairs
They are as follows: Albert, Anderson, Will
Hams, Ranken, SCHNEIDER, Hudd, Paul, Rice,
Wolf and Richmonds, thus making eighteen
against confirmation.
Six republicans are sure to vote for con-
frmation, viz: Rores, Barden, Wing, Swain
WEIGH and Treat. The democratic senators
Mumbrue and Reed are considered as favor
ing the confirmation. Dackell and Camp
bell are absent and il is not known how they
stand leaving Andrews Barley, Reynolds and
Richardson uncertain. Thus it will be seen
it is impossibled to confirm Rusk. granting
the largest latitude to those in his favor.
Gov. Smith authorizes the statement to-
night that he had telegraphed the situation
to Gen. Rusk at Washington, but that he
had left for Wisconsin before the receipt of
his telegram. Gen. Allen of Oshkosh Is
looming up as candidate. 1t is almost
sure Smith will not appoint any of tho mon
that have been urged for the position here
tofore.
THE LEGISLATURE.
In the Senate, to-day, an amendment was
proposed to the constitution, forever prohib-
iting traffic in Intoxicating liquors in Wis
consin. Resolutions we're presented asking
information as to the cost of publishing the
supreme court reports, and authorizing the
state board of health to make report to the
government, and for the distribution of
5000 copies of the same. bill was recon-
mended by the board of charities and reform
abolishing time sentences to state prison.
In the Assembly the judiciary committee
was requested to abolish professional tramps
by bill. Bill was introduced for the erection
of monument to the late Gov. Harvey.
Both houses adjourned till Monday even
ing.

After the vote Senator Cockrell said he
had received q telegram from Senator Whyte
Nd, announcing that he was detained at
home by sickness and requestinga him,
Cockrell, to pair with him. Under the cir
cumstancee he consented to do so. If the
Senator from Maryland was present he
would vote aye and he, Cockrell would vote
no. Hoar, Butler, and Hill, who would have
voted in the affirmative were paired with
Patterson and Garland who would have
voted in the negative. Plumb announced
his colleague, ingalls,, was detained from the
Senate on account Of sickness in his family.
The question then required on the amend
meut of Morrell submitted the 18th instant,
but he withdrew it for the present that the
question might be taken on the amendment
submitted by his colleague, Edwards, on the
14th instant, with the understanding that
his, Morrell's, amendment should be next in
order.
EDMUNDs' AMENDMENT.
Senator Edmunds then spoke in opposi-
ton to the resolution of Matthew's and IA
vored the amendment by himself. He said
the interesting thing about this whole bust
ness was that the Senate had Just declared
that it was not fit to make joint resolution.
AS it now stood the Senate, one of the CO.
ordinate branches of Congress, thought it
might have an opinion in case the House of
Representatives said it could have such opin-
ion. That was an admirable commentary on
this whole proceeding. He congratulated
the Senator from Ohio (Matthews) upon the
mastery strategy by which he had put the
Senate into this extraordinary position. He
had always thought the Senatemight have an
opinion without asking the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In opening his argument Senator Ed
munds said he would refer at some length to
the law, and if he happened to be little
prosy, he hoped the Senate would pardon
him. From 1892, when the first coinage act
was passed, to 1884, the double standard ex-
listed in this country on the theory of exact
equivalents. He then referred to the coinage
act of 1884, and after quoting from the de-
bates in Congress upon tAat act, said those
were hard times as we'll as these.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, said he would
like Senator Edmunds to point to history
showing that hard times existed in 1884
or 1916.
Senator Edmunds said if his friend Jones
would turn to the records of Congress for
that period he would find them tee,ning
with petitions from people in all portions Of
the country for relief from financial suffer-
ing then existing.
Continuing his remarks in regard to the
legislation Of 1884, he said the separation OF
the two metals, gold and silver, had been
steadily growing. They had been steadily
drawing apart ever since.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, inquired if in
1859 and 1860 the values Of gold and silver

Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--The bill to remit
the taxes on insolyent savings banks was
discussed briefly and postponed until to-1nor-
row.
Senator Rollins submitted the following
as an additional section: sThat in making
further collections of internal revenue tax
on bank deposits, no savings bank, recog-
nized as such by the laws of it's State, and
having no capital stock, shall, on account Of
mercantile or business deposits heretofore
received, on which no interest has been al
lowed to parties making such deposits, be
denied exemptions allowed to savings banks
having no capital stock, and doing no other
business than receiving deposits to be
loaned or invested for the sole benefit Of
parties making such deposits without profit
or compensation to banks which have paid
lawful tax OH the entire average amount of
such business or mercantile deposits.
Nothing in this section shall be construed
as extending said exemption to deposits
heretofore made, or in any way to affect the
liability of deposits to taxation
Senator Rollins, in explanation of his
amendment, said the government would suf-
fer no loss whatever, should the amount be
agreed to. It had been prepared at the
internal revenue office and sent to him.
WHISKY TAX.
Senator Harris presented petition of dis
tillers of Tennessee in favor of reduction
of the tax on whisky to 80 cents per gallon.
Referred.
BLAINE's SILVER BILL.
Senator Blaine said, few days since, he
introduced bill for reconciliation of sill
yer. He had purposely left number of grains
willing to vote for dollar of 1925 grains.
He would move to fill the blank at future
day. Meanwhile, by some blunder, he had
been credited with the brilliant conception
of leaving the number of grains in the dol
lar to be determined by the director of the
mint and Secretary of the Treasury. What
he had left to those officers was the right
and power to publicly fix the price of silver
bullion, per standard ounce, as nearly as pos
sible at the market rate, and this he con-
ceived to be the best regulation on that sub
ject. He moved the bill be reprinted that

SILVER RECONCILIATION.
At the expiration of the morning hour
consideration was resumed of the resolution
of Senator Matthews declaring the right of
the government to pay bonds in silver, and
the amendment of Senator Conkling MAX
ing the resolution joint instead of concur
rent, was rejected, yeas %, nays 80. The
vote was as follows

MoRR1LL's AMENDMENT.
The question then REQUIRED on the amend
ment of Senator Morrill, submitted on the
18th inst, to the effect that it would be det-
rimental to the economical interests of the
government and the people to pay the bonds
in silver, and Mr.. Morrill, spoke in support
thereof. He said this resolution from the
Senator from Ohio, no matter from what
motive twas introduced, could have and
would have no other effect than to damage
the public credit, and he could not under
stand from what motive it was brought for
ward, especially when he saw in the platform
Of the Republican party of Ohio, adopted in
1876, that the national honor must be main
tanned, and recognizing gold as the true
standard of value. He could not conceive
how it was possible that Republican Sena-
tor from that State should come here SO
soon afterwards and propose such resolu-
the so-called silver bill he could not vote for
this resolution with its preamble as now
drawn.
The amendment of Morrill, was repealed.

amendment of Chaffee submitted on the
18th of December, which, after explanation
from Chaffee was withdrawn.
Senator Window said he voted for the
amendment of the senator from New York.
Conkling, to make this a joint resolution
said he voted against all others, and he now
intended to vote against the original resolu-
ton, and in doing SO he did not propose to
indicate what would be his vote upon the
saloon bill itself when it should come before
the senate. He was opposed to this fruitless
expression of opinion. If Congress had
confined itself to practical legislation,
instead of discussing finances the bushes
of the country would have been more pros
porous.
THE FINAL VOTE.
Senator Edmunds moved to indefinitely
postpone further consideration of the resolu-
luton.
The motion to indefinitely postpone was
rejected yeas %, nays 43.
The question being on the passage of the
resolution as submitted by Senator Matthews
on the 9th of December last it was agreed
to; yeas 49, nays %, as follows

In addition to pairs above mentioned, Hill
said he was paired with Townsed. If that

affirmative and he (HilD would vote in the
negative.

vote was next taken on the preamble
submitted by Morrell on the 18th inst and
it was rejected without roll call.
FI1LBUsTER1NG.
Senator Edmunds then moved to amend
the preamble submitted by Matthews by in
sorting the following:
AND WHEREAS, By the provisions of the COIN
age act of 1873, passed on the 18th eff February
Of that year, and of the revised statutes which
took effect on the first day Of December of that
year, all provisions Of law authorizing the coin
age Of such silver dollar were repealed
Mr.. Matthews said he would accept that
amendment.
Senator Thurman hoped his colleague
would not accept it. He was not prepared
to say the law was repealed. The question
involved the construction of the statute.
There was no necessity for this amendment,
and he hoped the Senate would stand by the
resolution and preamble as submitted by the
Senator from Ohio.
Senator Matthews said if there be any DIFF
ference of opinion as to the construction of
the law he would not accept it. The amend
ment of Edwards was rejected, yeas 20, nays
38.
The question then required to the pre-
amble as submitted by Senator Matthews on
the 9th of December, and it was adopted
without amendment, yeas ~, nays 20.
When the above vote was taken Waters,
who would have voted in the affirmative, was
paired with Randolph, who would have voted
in the negative. MCPHERSON, who would
have voted in the negative, was out of the
chamber temporarily when his name was
called.
The preamble and resolution having been
passed, Senator Allison moved the Senate
toke up the House bill to authorize free
coinage of the standard silver dollar and re-
store its legal tender character.

Senator Morrill, then took the floor to adj
dress the Senate on the silver bill but yielded
to Senator Ferry, and on his motion the
Senate went into executive session, and when
the doors reopened the Senate adjourned till

then quoted at length from the act of 1869,

legal OF honorable right to pay its debt in
silver dollar which was not worth as much
as gold. He next referred to the act of 1873,
demonetizing the silver dollar, and argued
that it was perfectly understood when it
passed that it provided that gold coin should
be the amount of value.
