TIE VEST SILVER RESOLUTION

6pecf1t Dispatch to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Juna 28--There Wak
another contest In the Senate over the Vest s1-
yer resolution, which resulted only in postpon-
ing the subject until another morning hour, and
the indications are that nothing will be accom-
plished at this session. Morrill,, Of Vermont,
one of the most radical OF the singIe-standard
men, talked against time to co1sume the morn
ing hour 80 that No action could be taken It
will be remembered that, during the passage OF
the Army Appropriation bill, the Democrats de-
cllued to correct two verbal mistakes which
made nonsense OF two important appropriati1s
clauses.
APPROPRIATIONS FOE MAR8HALs-
The House and Senate were compelled to-day
to pass bill correcting these errors The Ju-
dicial bill No. 2, appropriattng money for Mar
shals, passed the Senate late in the afternoon b.
strictly party yote. M. Conk1tng made bis
expected attack upon lhe bill, which was, Of
course, without effect. Mr.. Window maintained
that, while it does not repeal any statute, It
renders void certain proviso OF the 1aW IN op-
eration and is stark nullifcatiou- Gen. Logan
took similar ground. and characterized the
Democratic position In nulifying unrepcaled
laws as indefensib1e and revolutionary.
