WILL COME UP NEXT TUESDAY,

The Silver Bin Will be Taken Up fl the Senate on That Day as Unfin ished Business-nr. Stewart Oner Two Amendments to the Bin an They Are Agreed to.
 WASHINGTON, May 27.-At 9 o'clock tn
 presiding officer (Mr. Paddock) announce
 that the morning hour had expired an,
 that the senate would now take up the un
 finished business, being the bill to provid
 for the free coinage of gold and silver
 As no senator took the floor the preeidin,
 officer stated that the bill was still ope,
 for amendment.
 No amendment being offered he an
 nounced that the committee of the whol,
 Was discharged from its further consider ation and that the bill was now before tn, senate.
 That statement first attracted the atten ton of Mir. Sherman, who rose and said that he knew of several senators who de, sired to address the senate before the mat ter was passed upon, but who were not prepared to do so. He himself desired to speak on the bill, but he had sent to the treasury department for certain informa- tion without which he would not like to proceed. He therefore suggested that the bill should go over till Tuesday next un- less some senator desired to speak to-day.
 MT. Stewart suggested that there should be unanimous consent given to take the bill up from day to day until it was con- cluded; but an objection was made to that proposal by Mir. Sherman on the ground that there was very sparse attendance of senators. and that no such agreement could be made.
 '.Then," said MT. Stewart, five had better go on and vote today"
 fI do not care," said MT. Sherman, sI certainly will not speak to-day. After the way the bill was taken up it would be just in keeping if the vote were taken now"
 "Thst gratuitous thrust by the senator from Ohio,n said Mr. Teller, with some as- perity, "is entirely uncalled for"
 "The proposition itself is entirely un- called for," was Mir. Sherman's no less angry retort.
 That is another question:" said NIT. Teller" "The pettifogging of the sena tor from Ohio hardly befits the occasion. No body has pretended that we want to cut off debate. If the senator from Ohio wants to debate the bill nobody on our side pro- poses to cut off debate. We are willing to do what Is always done in the senate; that Is, when any senator says that he wishes to debate @ subject to give him time and The suggestion that we take the vote now was made upon the theory that nobody wanted to debate the bill."
 MT. Sherman-I have said that several senator's desire to speak upon it, and that desire to do 80, but do not wish to speak to-day because am in search of in formation which 1 expect to get by Tues day. There is no ground for the remark that nobody desired to speak. have said that several senators do. The senator from Kansas desires to speak, and he is not pre- pared.
 The presiding officer-Do I understand he senator from Ohio to move to postpone he billl
 Mir. Sherman-Yes; till Tuesday at 9 o'clock.
 Mir. Stewart offered two amendments to he bill, and they were agreed to.
 They were to make the denominations of he certificates as provided in the third ection from $1 up to S1 ,000, and to strike 'ut the clause requiring an appropriation.
 The presiding officer said that the bill would be considered as still in committee if the whole and asked whether there was unanimous consent that it be laid aside.
 MT. Sherman said that it was not neces- ary, as the bill would come up as un- inished business.
 "Yes," said MT Allison, Eff no other bill | 'e taken up in the meantime and take it's | 'lace as the unfinished business"
 In view of the possibility that such a hing might happen, MT. Stewart asked | nd obtained unanimous consent that the | ill be taken up as the unfinished business | n Tuesday next at 3 o'clock.
 That matter having been definitely ar anged there was brief executive session, | fter which the senate adjourned until | tuesday next
