DOMESTIC.
United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, February 9th.-J Unfinished
business was laid before the Senate, being
the anti-silver coinage bill, and Beck pro-

those provisionSof the bill calling for the
redemption of the trade dollar, but strongly
opposed a suspension of the coinage of the
standard dollar.
Morrill, replied to Beck, followed by Nor
gan.
At the close of the debate the bill went
over without action, and the pension APP
preparation bill was taken up.
4 long discussion ensued regarding the
interpi citation of the Senate rule forbidding
or proposing general legislation on appro-
priation bills.
The Chair sustained the rule and an APP
peal was taken.
Bayard strongly urged the Senate to take
its stand now for the principle incorporated
in its rule, which he said was a correct
principle, without the observance of which
all the powers of this Government would
be resolved into single legislative cham

Hale said if something was not done to
relax the rigor of the Senate rule, as hith-
erto interpreted, there was danger that an
extra session would be necessary. Were
the Senators ready for that?
Plat believed the Senate had only to be
firm once.
After debate, the decision of the Chair
was sustained-ayes 45, noes %.
