Senator Paddock said he had ha>
kilograms from Nebraska in reg,
outrages by the Cheyenne Indians iii
State, and asked the chairman of the COM.
mittee on Indian affairs whether any action
was being taken by that committee relative
to the matter.
Senator Dawes had begun to respond to
the question:, but on the suggestion of
Plumb that there were only few hours
left for discussion of the silver bill the mat
ter was allowed to go over till tomorrow.
The senate silver bill was then taken up
and Senator Morgan resumed the floor, but
suggested that the time of senators in dis
cussing the amendments "after the close of
the general discussion" should be extended
from five to ten minutes on one.
:. Senator Jones of Nevada in charge of the
bill thought it might be better as several
senators still desire to speak on the subject
to extend the time for general debate till 8
O'Clock on Monday next, and he asked
unanimous consent for that proposition.
Senator Hoar said he had no objection
but thought there should be larger at
tendance of senators before unanimous
consent was asked.
Senator Teller suggested that Senator
Morgan should go on with his speech, and
said he had no desire to cut off any senator
who might wish to address the senate on
the bill. When the time came the limlta-
ton, he had no doubt, would be extended.
Senator Morgan therefore went on with his
remarks.
His speech was mainly an argument for
free coinage. He objected 10 the prop
osition to limit the continuance of the act
to ten years.
Senator Adrich next addressedthe senate
He defended the amendment as reported by
the finance committee to the house silver
bill and asserted that instead of demone-
tlzlng silver the system proposed by the
finance committee would more etfectually
monetize it than by the system now in
force. Under the law of 1873 gold
was To-Day universal inter-
national money. Silver was not
Congress could not make it an interna a.
tional money; that had to be done by the
concurrent action of all the great countries
Until that took place there could be no
equality between the two metals. That
was the fact of all facts, and it was useless
for senators to endeavor to persuade them
selves or others to the contrary. The legis-
lation proposed by the silver extremists
would, he said, be disastrous to the inter
tSIS VI Tue country.
Senator Stewart was on the floor replying
to some OF Senator Aldrich's statements
when the presiding officer, Mr. Ingalls,,
called attention to the agreement that gen.
eral debate was to close at o'clock. 1t was
3:W. Various propositions were made and
it was agreed by unanimous consent that
the senate bill should be laid on the table
and the house bill as amended by the
finance committee substituted for It, the
general debate be extended till o'clock on
Monday, the session tomorrow being for
consideration of bills on the calendar
Senator Stewart then resumed the floor,
and after further debate the senate went
into executive session and soon after adj
journed.
