statesmanship, was the subject Of q lively though
brief debate in the Senate during the morning
hour It's consideration was opposed by Senator
Herman, Senator Ferry and Senator Allison, each
Of whom avowed himself to be bi-metallst In
every proper sense Of the term, and favorable to
the reconciliation Of silver whenever it could be
brought about without unsettlng the course of
business, or playing into the hands Of bullion
holders at cost Of millions TO the taxpayers.
Nothing except present consideration would satisfy
fault-fnding speech and Senator Marcy, who
has ideas and convictions upon the subject, did
likewise. The resolution went over at the end OF
the morning hour Senator Vest Is the subject of
the vigorous comments of majority of the Senators
for his efforts TO reopen this subject at this period
of the session.

rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, June 27.--The bill providing for
certain judicial expenses was disposed of by the
Senate to-day without amendment. The discus
sion occupied about three hours and was mild in
character. and presented very few points which
have not been covered in former debates, The
customary formal attempts were made by the Re-
publicans TO strike out aud amend the objection
able section all Of which were voted down by the
solid Democracy, Senator Conkling made the
principal speech. One new point was developed
with effect Mr.. Conkling called attention to
declarations made by both the Senators from Ala
bama, tending to show that the present system of
drawing lures has resulted in great injustice TO GER
tain localities in that State. He produced and read
portions of letter he had received from the United
States Marshal for the Southern District of Ala
bama, showing the state of affairs In that section.
MIR. Conkling forced Senator Houston to admit
that when he was Governor of Alabama he had ap-
proved and carried out State jury law winch dis
eliminated most unfairly against Republican
counties and this discrimination was the reason
why the United States Courts could not draw juries
from the State boxes.

Disapprobation was also freely expressed because
the buetn-boards that had been provided failed to
give any account of the for the various de-
lays which took place. The crowd was wonder
fully good-natured one, however and took all It's
annoyances, little and great, with the greatest
amiability.
The policing Of the course after the close of the
race was very bad; and at one time 1t looked rs
though the Harvard boat would certainly be run
down by some of the many sailing vessels that setsa
down the course the moment the race was finished,
without any regard for the requests of the manag-
of the regatta that time should be allowed for
the crews to return to the umpire boat TO receive
the official announcement of the result OF the race
before they should weigh anchor.
Fortunately no accident took place, and the Har-
wards were safely taken on board the judges boat
and carried uD TO their quarters.
A thunder storm which at one time threatened to
interfere with the race passed around the city and
gave the Harvard students opportunity to cele-
brate their victory At o'clock this eyenng pro-
cession of several hundred students was formed
