tIzation in Congress.

Q A Washington dispatch make
the following important announce
ment:
1t is claimed to-day that Sen
2 ator Stewart Of Nevada has dis
t covered that the position Of tn
silver bill of 1878, which demone
. tized silver, was never discussed
or agreed to in the United States
, Senate. He secured yesterday
according OF the New York Sun
a copy of the bill as it was report
ed to the Sena.e from the finance
committee, after having passed
! the House, copy Of the bill was
used at the clerks desk when the
subject was under consideration
and the bound volume of records
containing the engrossed bill. 1t
is said, with the aid OF some Of the
clerks In the Secretaries office,
/ the official stenographer and
two or three silver Senators, Mr..
Stewart examined the whole mat
ter carefully and found what he
regards as evidence Of trickery in
the passage Of the bill. This
evidence is the fact that the Con-
gressional Globe containing the Of
fetal reports Of the debates and
proceeding Of the Senate contains
no mention whatever Of the de-
monetizing section having been
read, debated or considered in the
Senate. The section was added
by the Senate Committee on
Finance to the House bill, and !
was printed in italics, as all the
other amendments were. The
pages Of the Globe show the pro-
gress, step by step, and the debat-
es upon each section until the de-
monetizing proviso is reached,
when there is a break in the re-
cords, and when it is again taken
up it is ut a point further on in the
Dill. From this record it does
not appear that the demonetizing
section was ever read to the SEN ]
ate, voted upon or agreed to.
Senator Stewart was quite ex- I
'ited by his discovery, and said to {
hose about him in his character
site vigorous language: 81
ave claimed ever since the bill {
Vas passed that there had been I
rickery practiced In inserting the
lemonetizing section, and now I {
IN more than ever convinced that G
1onkey business was INDUCED
A."
Senator Teller, who was sent
,r by Senator Stewart that he
light give his opinion, made
borough examination Of the case 7
nd remarked, in his quiet way: L
Well, there is certainly something
rong. 1 have looked this mat =
II up before, and 1 have never .
zen able to straighten it out" al
Senator Stewart is not making !"
UGH Of a stir about the matter "
st at present because he admits 10
9 possibility that he may yet be -
und to have been mistaken. Lie
ne matter as it stands has a IL
ny serious look to him, however, "
d If he finds upon further inves- a.
,ation that the belief of himself WI
d other silver Senators as to 81
arp practice in passing the bill WI
well-founded, he W II spring the ni'
lsation upon the Senate in the uis
ape OF a searching Investigation. 81
at, he confidently believes, will VIC
ng to light some surprisingly VII
eresting and important facts. 'a-
