ton. The subject was debated until late

Kelly, Stroble, Wheeler and Bartine taking
part.
Boutelle presented the conference report
on the Naval Appropriation Bill, and in
sisted on its consideration, notwithstand-
ing the objection Of Bland that he (Bou-
telle) was thereby consuming the short
time for debate on the Silver Bill.

details of the agreement reached In confer
enee, and called for the previous question,

support of the House bill and in opposition
TO the Senate bill.

Illinois, Peters of Kansas, CItcheon Of
Michigan, Gunnell of Minnesota, Bayne OF
Virginia, Williams Of Illinois and others.
Mckinley. in closing the debate, said he
wanted the use of both metals to continue,
and opposed the Senate amendments. He
wanted the metals to stand side by side
equal in purchasing power and legal tender
quality. The gentlemen who favored the
Senate amendments wanted silver to do all
of the work. Whatever We have for money
in this country must be equal in purchas-
ing power and legal tender quality, whether
gold, paper or as silver dollars, each re-
deema5le in the other and each exchange
able for the other and each of equal value.
