SENATE.
Washington, June 27.-Eaton re
ported the judicial expenses appropria
tion bill passed yesterday by the house
He said there would be no attempt by
the majority to shorten the debate ant
that night session would not bt
forced.
The bill was then considered
Vests resolution, declaring in favor
of free coinage and reconciliation OF
silver, was taken up. During the
debate Herman, Ferry and Allison
protested against this method of in
structlng the finance committee There
was not time at this session to mature
measure SO vitality affecting the whole
financial system and indirectly the in
dustries of the country. Hence the
silver bill had been postponed, but not
indefinitely. The committee was
pledged to act on it early in December.
Vest called attention to the fact that
the resolution was solely an expression
of opinion to show the country how the
senate stood. 1t required no present
action.
Allison moved to refer the resolution
to the finance committee.
Maxey opposed the motion.
Allison further objected that the
resolution looked to unlimited coinage,
which would drive the gold out of the
country and flood us with European
bullion.
After further debate Vest offered
the following as substitute for his
first resolution, to obviate any criticism
as to its wording:
Resolved, That the complete remon-
etization of silver and its restoration to
perfect equality with gold, both as
coin and bullion, are demanded alike
by the dictates of justice and wise
craftsmanship.
The morning hour expiring, the res
olution goes over until tomorrow.
The senate passed the judicial expen-
ses appropriation bill without amend
ment.
The marshafs appropriation bill was
received from the house and referred to
the committee on appropriations.
HOUSE.
Washington, June 27.-The morning
hour was dispensed with and the house
went into committee of the whole on
the bill appropriating six hundred
thousand dollars to pay the fees of
United States marshals and their gen.
eral deputies. General debate on the
bill was limited to one hour. The de-
bate was opened by Garfield. He
grouped some of the leading points
made the present session on the demo-
cratic side. These propositions were
that there are no national elections,
that the United States have no votes,
that states exclusively have the right
to correct the election of members to
congress, that senator's and representa-
tives are state officers, agents or en-
bassadors, that the United States have
no authority to keep the peace within
the state and have no ''peacen to keep,
that the United Statef is not a nation
but confederacy of states, and that
finally states are sovereign. He de-
clared that these propositions consti
tuted the body of the doctrine which
was more extreme than had ever been
heard of before, except at the very
crisis of secession. He believed those
doctrines to be erroneous and vicious,
and he proceeded to lay down and to
support by argument counter PROPOSE
tions.
The house passed by a party vote the
bill making appropriations for marshals
and their general deputies.
The house passed a concurrent reso-
luton providing for final adjournmen.
at 4 O'Clock next Monday.
