Lth CONGRESS...PIRST SESSION.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 2.
The House having sent over an original
bill to give pension of $500 to the widow of
General Logan instead of passing the Senate
bill in precisely the same terms, the House
bill was passed.
The Senate resumed, as unfinished
United States bonds, the question being on
the motion of Senator Palmer to recommit
the bill.
Senator Stewart moved to recommit with
instructions to the committee to report
without delay separate bill allowing
owners of gold or silver bullion to deposis
the same and receive coin certificates there
for
Senator Sherman opposed the motion,
saving it was very unusual to so instruct a
committee to report. He thought as a
question of practical legislation, that the
bill should be passed at once. If it was the
desire of the Senate to have all the difficult
nTohlems of finance which had been dis
cussed for the last 20 years taken up and
Considered. that was one thing. If so, let it
be so but that was no. reason why there
should be any delay in the passage OF bill
on totally different subject, lie was op,,
posed to the instructions ana was opposed
To the recommittal of the bill.
Senator Stewart argued in support OF his
motion. and declared that under no circum-
stances would he vote for the original bill,
in the present stringency of the money mar
ket. 1t was time, he said, to return to a
sure base for the currency instead OF the in
yention of new schemes of imitation. When
enough gold and silver could not be got at
such a basis, then it would be time enough
to enact other schemes for money. He be-
lieved the Senate and country We're in favor
of using silver as the basis OF circulation,
and asked vote by yeas and nays on his
motion. .
Senator Mcpherson argued against the
proposition of Senator Stewart. He APP
peaied earnestly to the Senators on both
sides simply TO pass the House bill and
leave new schemes of financial adventure to
be proposed to some other bills.
Senator Butler said while he sympathized
with MANY features in the proposition of the
Senator from Nevada, and would vote for it,
with some notifications, the exigency
which confronted the treasury was such
that he now preferred to vote for the House
BILL pure and simple.
Senator Beck suggested such modi6ca-
tion of Senator Plumb's argument as would
direct the secretary of the treasury, where
national bank circulation was Withdrawn,
to purchase silver and coin 1t In dollars, in
excess of two millions a month, the mini
mum on which silver certificates could, un-

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.-The absorption

Sugar Trust has created much discussion
here, and competent experts declare that in
a fight between the Sugar Trust, which rep
resents sixty millions, and Claus Spreckles,
who represents not even ten millions
Spreckles will go the wall. They put no
faith in Spreckles's declaration that he will
fight for the principle involved They say It
is late day for him to come out as an anti
monopolist, when he ran for fifteen years the
cruelest monopoly ever known on this coast.
They also declare that he will compromise
with the Trust AS there is an enormous
stock of sugar ON hand mere now, the Trust
can driye Spreckles out of the market. The
capacity of the American Refinery will be

der the existing law, be issued. That would
prevent contracting the currency.
Senator EdmundS remarked the PROPOSE
tion of the Senator from Nevada and the
suggestion of the Senator from Kentucky
were so very broad, and complicated In their
bearings that they could not be understood
in moment. Therefore the proper thing
would be to recOmmit the bill to the finance
committee and let the committee consider all
the propositions and report scheme tnat
would relieve the difficulty now said to
exist.
Senator Reagan suggested, as an amend
ment that the S100,0 600 in gold coin, now
in the Treasury, he used for the redemption
interest bearing bonds. He argued that u
was an idle pretence that this gold was held
for the redemption of legal tender notes
which nobody wanted to have redeemed: He
declared the policy of the government, both
in its executive and legislative departments,
had been since 1869, in the interest OF the
money lords of this country and Europe.
He knew the present administration had TAX
en- up and maintained the policy Of its Re-
publican predecessors. But he proposed, as
far as his action was concerned, without ref
erence to what others in the Democratic par
ty, even those in high places, should do, to
stand by the interest Of the people and insist 81
that the government be conducted in the In
terest of the people instead of the interest OF
special classes who live by robbing both
