THE TEXT OF THE BoMB-sIELL AMENDMENT.
The following is the text Of the Marsh
amendment, which was inserted at the be-
ginning Of section 4, after figures 1921 in
the fourth line: .sTbe charges for convert
ing gold and silver bullion into coin shall
DE the difference between The market value
OF the bullion in New York city and tie
legal-tender value OF the coin." ...g.-.,
Tonight the silver bill is regarded az
dead, because the Marsh amendment gives
Secretary, Sherman authority to regulate the
amount OF silver to be coined. Judge Buck
ner, chairman OF the Currency Committee,
proposes to offer substitute for the bill,
which will give The Government the profit
on coinage and compel the Secretary 10
coin four millions silver per month. 1t pro-
vides that whenever silver bullion and coin
are Of equal value then coinage is to be free.
The rumor that an address Of the two
houses is 10 I've laid before the President
grows out OF the fact that Mr.. Knott has
been Instructed to report paper by the
Judiciary Committee on the Presidents
message which will prove an able and eff
fcctiye Democratic campaign document.
SPEECHES on THE LEGISLATIVE BILL.

la'iye bll! was that Of Senator Saunders, Of
! Nebraska. 1t was short, and would not
| have taxed the brain OF child 10 listen to
it. He was followed by Governor WhYte,
OF Maryland, who made strong speech,
which was no doubt somewhat improved by
being contrasted with that which preceded
| it. He cortcnGed for the usual States richts
doctrines, aud quoted Clay, Madison, Ed
ward Everett, and the Massachusetts Stale
Convention OF 1880, to show That they are
not political bcrcsicS, and that Democrats
should not be denounced as they are daily
| by Republican senators for holding S;ates'-
rights views. Mr.. Jonas, OF louisiana, now
made his first speech in the Senate in favor
OF the bill and political sections, and his
effort Gid him decided credit.
Senator Jonas having rccitcd the story o!
Louisiana's wrongs, Kellogg spoke briefly,
and then the legislative bill was passed.
The Senate then adjourned until Thursday,
so that senator's could go to the Baltimore
races tomorrow.
