CONGRESSIONAL.
Introduction of Another Silver
Bill.
Discussion on the Indian School
Question
A s25O,OOO Washout on the
Colorado Central.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-MOrRan In
troduced a bill to fix the limit of value
and provide for the free coinage OF silver.
Referred to the committee on finance. 1t
~recites that the market value of silver
bullion is rapidly approaching the value
of gold or standard relation fixed by the
laws of the United States; that there are
no provisions of law for the coinage of
standard silver dollars, or the purchase of
silver bullion by the government. when
the value of silver bullion exceeds 81 for
37lt grains of pure silver. 1t therefore
provides that the unit of value in the
United States shall be a dollar of 4l2f
grains standard of silver, or % $40 grains
of gold; that these coins shall be legal
tender for all debts. public and private;
that any owner of silver or gold may de-
posit it at any mint TO be formed into dol
lars or bars Tor his benefit without charge.
He called the special attention of the
finance committee to the bill, which he
said was the same as had already received
a majority of II in the senate. He had
introduced it because he was convinced
that in the rapid -1.auce OF the price of
silver bullion in the markets of the world
the time was not far distant, to say the
least. when silver and gold bullion would
be on par with each other. When that
time did arrive, the law. as it now stood,
would not permit the government to buy
silver bullion if there was any shade of
appreciation in its price beyond the price
of gold, and there was no provision of
law for the coinage of silver except that
purchased before silver reached that
point. In view of what appeared to be
in the air, as well as on land and on sea,
10 regard to the immediate future of the
country, he thought it would be well
enough to make provision. so that silver
or gold bullion would not be withdrawn
from the United States by other inter
ested governments and boarded up IN
their great banking institutions.
The senate hen resumed consideration
OF the Indian appropriation bill.
The amendment which provoked dis
cussion was one increasing the appropria-
ton OF 500, 900 for the support of In
dian schools to $50, 600, including the
construction Of a school building at Black
foot agency, Montana.
Vest opposed the amendment as the
introduction of a system intended to
