IN THE SENATE.
The Debate on the silver Biz stin Holds
the Tlnnr.

The Debate on the silver Bill Still Holds
the Floor.
WASHINGTON, July l0.-In the senate
Wednesday the bill for the admission Of
Wyoming as a state was signed by Mr. In
gals, the presiding officer The bill now
goes to the president for his signature.
The debate on the silver bill was re-
Bumed Senator Cockrell (Mo) vigorously
objected to the BILL particularly those par
agraphs giving discretionary power to the
secretary of the treasury. Mr.. Platt asked
if he would not give the secretary Of the
treasury any discretionary power, tQ which
Mr.. Cockreil replied that he would give
the secretary that discretion by saying
''redeemable in coin" His contention was
against the language Of the BILL which de-
clared the gold standard still in existence
and gave to the secretary Of the treasury
dangerous power He urged that the third
section Of the bill provided for cessation
of silver coinage after July, 1891, and made
Of silver a commodity. He said that he
believed il the senate would reject this
report the house would agree to the senate
bill.
Mr. Cockrell read from The New York
Tribune a statement that if under the pro
posed law there should be an attempt to
force up the price of silver none might be
offered, and in that case none might be
purchased for the month. This was the
declaration he said, Of the official organ
Of the Republican party, The bill, in his
judgment, was infinitely worse than the
present law.
Mr.. Daniel said that he did not agree
with some OF the criticisms OF the language
Of the bill He regarded it as a silver vic
tory, but still he was not prepared to vote
for it, He spoke Of the possibility Of exeeu-
tive interference, and said he could not
reproach Republican senators for recedlng
from their position before the apprehension
Of it,
Stin he thought the silver question
greater than any president His objection
to the conference bill, he said, was based
on the fact that it did not preserve a gold
standard OF value but created one. This
bill Disseminated against silver because it
could pile up S70, 1000, 900 worth of the metal
every year in the treasury, not a dollar of
which could be coined TO pay the govern
ment's bonded indebtedness, which was
PAYABLE in coin. The conference bill was
better than no bill; but still it was mere
makeshift 1t was inevitable that congress
and the executive should come into colli-
sion on silver, and why not have the quar-
rel nows
Mr.. Morrill, took the floor, but pending
his remarks the senate adjourned with
the understanding that vote will be taken
on the conference report today.
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tions referred to Mr. Payne as a sub-com-
mittee the petition Of j. IL. Hollander, a
citizen of the United States, who claims
damages from the government of Guate-
Aaala Tor expulsion from LnaI country.

Set To.
BUFFALO, n. ", July 10-There was a
small sized fight Wednesday night that did
not form part Of the programme at the
Erie County Athletic clubs entertainment
1t occurred at the Iroquois hotel, and the
principals were Ike Weir who had just
whipped Jim Connor, and Tommy War
rem, who was one Of Weir's seconds. The
party had gone to the hotel to receive their
share of the purse put up in the Weir-Con-
nor fight Weir was sitting quietly wait
ing for President Griffin TO turn over to
him his share Of the prize purse. Warren
seemed nervous and i'll at ease. Finally he
stepped up to the table where the club Off
GERS were at work and said: 'Gentlemen,
I'm satisfied this man weir will cheat me
if he gets a chance and / wish you would
keep out what he owes me"
That was enough for the spider, and with
the spring of cat he was at Warren.
Tommy wheeled, and before the club
people knew what had happened they had
another fight upon their hands, and red
hot one. Some good warm cracks were
interchanged before the men were parted,
President Griffin threatening that if they
made another such move he would put
them both in the hands of the police
Weir received little over q, $50, the bal.
ance of his 81, 500 being retained to pay ac-
counts against him. Tommy got his money
