THE HOUSE SILVER BILL.
Mr. Morrill,, from the committee on finance,

amendments the House silver bill and gave no
tlce that at the proper time he would offer it as
substitute for the Senate bill
THE DEBATE on THE SENATE BILL.
The Senate silver bill was taken up and Mr..
Eustis addressed the Senate.
EMPEROR AND PRESIDENT.
In concluding his speech Mr.. Eustis con-
trasted the young emperor of Germany and
his sympathy with the working classes with the
President of the United States, who. he said.
was not as accessible to the American
people as the German emperor had shown
himself to his people. The President Of the
United States was not as sympathetic with the
grievances of the people as tho German en-
peror had shown himself to be.
The remedy, however, was in the hands of
the American people, who alone made Sena-
tors, Representatives and Presidents.
MR.. TURPIE SPEAKS.
Mr.. Turpie next addressed the Senate. He
favored the free coinageof silver

THE GREAT ARMORED CRUISER.
Secretary Tracy Thinks the Bids Excess
sive and is Having Them Investigated.

The bids for the new naval vessels which
were opened yesterday. have been referred to
the bureaus of construction and engineering
The Secretary is under the impression that the
figures submitted on the great armored
cruiser are excessive, and has asked for
special report on this point from the bu-
reaps, which will be made today. 1t is
not likely that the bureaus will make
any recommendations. but will simply
submit certain comparative figures for
the Secretary's guidance. Taking the
bid of $1,000 0G0 as basis the armored cruiser,
at weight of s, 100 tons. would cost $50 ton.
whereas the arm ored coast defense ship Mon
terey, which Scott is now building. will cost
S4O7 a ton. The other two armOred vessels now
under process of construction. the Maine and
the Texas are also i'll excess of the estimate of
$50 ton, the former being $3.50 ton and
the latter 1896 a ton. These figures are based
on the estimated cost of the two vessels, which
the government is building
The reports of the bureaus will probably be
in about this vein, and the Secretary will be at
a loss TO know what TO do. There is no
doubt that there will be considerable
study on the part of the department as
to whether it will be better to ad-
here to the Secretarys plans or to adopt one
or the other Of those submitted yesterday. and
IN the latter event it will he grave question
between the two great firms, the Scots and the
Cramps.
1t is understood that Mr.. Chas. Cramp. who
was at the department today looking after his
interests has said that in his opinion all of the
bids on the S.100-ton ship are excessive. This
statement has opened the eyes of officers in view
of the fact that one of the bids was submitted
by himself.
There is an idea prevalent that the plans SUBJ
mltted by the Cramps differ from those of the
government only in the arrangement of the
boilers

THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL.
MIR. Morrill, (kan.) presented the conference
report on the Senate dependent pension bill
Mr.. Springer Ill. asked that the report go
over until tomorrow in order that it might be
printed III the Record and members be given
an opportunity TO examine its provisions, but
MIR. Morrill, objected.
The previous question was ordered: Yeas
1l9; nays, 76.
MIR. MoRRLLs EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Morrill,, in explanation of the report.
stated that the conference committee had
stricken out the dependent feature of the
Senate bill and the service feature of the
House bill. The measure determined upon
was not exactly what he would desire, but it
was the best that he could obtain 1t would
distribute $4,000, 900 among the poor soldiers
OF the nation.
The SOLDIERS PRAYER UNANSWERED.
MIR. Yoder (Ohio) protested against the con-
ference report. holding that it ignored the
demands of the soldier, left his prayer un-
answered and buried in the basement of the
capitol his petition for per diem rate OF
pensions.
MR.. SPRINGER SAYS IT is SMALL MOUNTAIN.
Mr.. Springer (1l-) entered a vigorous pro-
test against the manner in which the bill was
brought before the House. There was no op-
portunty offered to members to examine Its
provisions. AS he viewed the bill 1t was ar
instance of the laboring of the mountain and
the bringing forth of very insignificant
mouse.
NO FATHER, But MANY WET NURSES
Mr.. Turner (N. Y } SAID that the Morrill, bill
as 1t passed the House was a respectable meas
use, because 1T had respectable father, but
the pending bill was without father but with
a considerable number of wet nurses 1t was a
measure which had never been asked for by
the soldier.
Mr.. Sawyer (N.Y) insisted that the proposed
Dill was Tor the purpose of taking care OF the
needy and dependent soldier.
WHY MR.. CANNON FAVORED IT.
Mr.. Cannon Gll.) favored the bill on the
ground that it would place on the pension rolls
25O,OOO names and would increase the pension
OF 80, 900 men now on the rolls.
MR.. M'CoMAs WAS APPLAUDED.
Mr.. McComas (Md) elected a round Of ap-
plause by his reference to Mr.. Morrill, as the
best friend the soldier had had in the House
for many years. The bill was not all that he
could have wished tor, but it was the best that
could be obtained. The republicans acted
while the democrats talked; the republicans
voted while the democrats detained

EIGHT AND SEVEN.
The Two Cruisers in About the Same
Stage of Progress.

1t would seem that Assistant Naval Con-
structor Bowles, in his statement to STAR
reporter last week about the condition of the
work on the new cruiser building at Norfolk,
was trifie hasty when he said that No. was
four times as far advanced as her
sister cruiser, No. z, building at
New York. Official reports received at the de-
partment show that cruiser No. at pres
ent contains about eighty three tons of ma
terial, while No. Z contains sixty-eight
tons. The difference between the ships is
probably due to the fact that cruiser No. 8
received recent consignment of material
ahead o: similar one shipped to New York for
No. z. The two vessels are practically in the
same stage of progress.
