 WASHINGTON, D. O. July 10.-Mr. Dawei presented a memorial from Lynn, Mass, pro. testing against appropriations for sectari- an Indian schools. Referred.
 The senate resumed consideration of the conference report on the silver bill and was addressed by Mir. Morgan in opposition to the report. He expected that the day was to be crisis in the question of currency of the people of the United States. as much so in regard to the demonstration of silver and the confnipg of coin to the single gold standard, as was the act of 1878. He did not know but that the effect of the vote to be taken to-day Gf 1t should result in the adoption of the conference bilD would not be really more fatal to the prospect of silver coinage in the future than the act of 1873. The legislation of 1873 had been, he said, an act of cold blooded assassination of the silver dollar. It had been presided over by the same senator whose fine Italian hand" was to be seen in the conference bill, a bill which was total departure from the action of both the house and the senate, and was as essentially new as if it had been a novel written by the senator from Ohio with in the last five days
 la the course of the discussion Mir. Jones asked what would gold dollar perform for @ farmer which paper dollar would not per. form as we'll, and MT. Morgan said that the question showed that he had struck fiat money man.
 Mir. Jones-The treasury note represents so much gold or silver behind it. It is not fiat money. Instead of being promise to pay it is Q certificate of the government that the dollar is behind it and in the treasury oi the United States whenever the holder of the note wants it.
 Mir. Morgan-How can he get it unless there is a promise to pay; unless there is ar obligation to pay.
 MT. Jones-Is is @ promise to deliver coir for it.
 Mir. Morgan-I know it is a banking oper ation.
 Mr.Jones-Almost everything in the world is transferred by symbol. If man wants te get money in bank on a cargo of merchan dice he takes his bill of lading to the bank He does not take the cargo and dumI it on tho counter. He hands in tho bill of lading, and so he takes his treasury note to the treasury and there is a transfer of so many silver dollars or of 80 many golt dollars.
 Mir. Morgan-That is nothing but prom ise to pay.
 Mir. Jones-It is great entity. It take the red dag of the sheriff from everybody window.
 Mir. Morgan-Yes, and it takes the yellow flag of the gold monometallist into the min ing camps.
 MT. Jones-I am astonished.
 Mir. Morgan-You may be, but the peopl will astonish you worse when they come t, pass verdict upon this bill.
 MT. Morgan closed with an appeal to sena tors not to allow the senator from Ohio tt thrust his state into silver.
 Mir. Call also argued against the conference bill.
 After further debate Mr. Blair expressed that man should stand up and take hil medicine cheerfully. After listening to on senator from Oregon (Mr. Dolph), who found in the bill gold standard, and to the othel senator from Oregon (Mr. MitchelD, wh, found in 1t free coinage. and to the senato from Kansas (Mr. Plumb), who was satisfied that it was a free coinage bill, and to tn senator from Colorado MT. Teller). who wa net satisfied with 1t precisely. he (Mr. Blair thought he would vote for it, but he gay, notice that under no circumstances would h. here or elsewhere give single reason for e' doing. Laughter
