phalanx Of democrats under the lead of
Messrs Tracy aud Williams, who so sue
cessfully resisted the silver men before, are
now full of confidence. They feel that they
can now have the active support OF the re-
publican members who do not
wish TO force the President to pass
upon the bill before election day,
endurance. That Ia what it will amount TO
from present indications, and the question
narroWs down to one point, and that is the
ability of the silver men TO secure
quorum in the House. The united denoc-
raoy has not been able TO maintain
quorum for an hour during the last six
weeks, and It is not easy to see how a por-
tion of the democracy can do more They
think they can and the other side are sure
they cannot, and that is the situation to-
night.
Ii is early yet TO talk about the prospects
of veto. but one argument the silver men
are making t0 meet the point that their
fight is uselessly embarrassing now was sat
out by Senator Morgan yesterday when he
said that the President was too high
minded to resist the will OF the people In so
imp portant a matter.

THE SILVER BILL.
At o'clock Mfr. Morgan, who had shortly
before entered the chamber. inquired OF the
chair as to what proposition had bsen made
to-day on the snbject of the silver bill. He
said that be understood that the senator
from New Jersey had withdrawn his ohjeo-
tion, aud that he did EOt desire to speak on
the bill on account of bis health. He had
also been informed that the senator from
New York (Mr. HnD desired to speak on the
bill. He had inquired Of that senator
whether he had any snch purpose. Mr.. Hill

he did not desire 90 have the bin postponed
on that account If the senator frpm New
York desired 30 speak upon it, he (Mr. Nor
gam would be very willing TO have the
time extended to give him that opportu-
nifty.
The presiding officer tMr Mandarson), in
answer 10 Mr.. Morgan's question, said that
no proposition had been submitted to the
chair this morning, although there had
been some discussion as to proportions; but
nothing had yet been entertained by the
chair.
MIR. Vest inquired whether motion had
been made TO reoommit the bill.

LAID BEFORE THE SENATE.
A colloquial discussion between several
senators was interrupted by the presiding
officer, who at Q o'clock laid the silver bill
before the Senate as the unfinished business
and said that he felt 1t his duty to call at
tention to the unanimous consent given on
June 2e. He had an extract read from the
Congregational Record concerning that
matter and then announced thai the pend
ing question was Mr.. Dolphs motion 30 res

Mr.. Frye asked Mr. Stewart whether he
contended that uuder that agreement the
Senate was restricted to simple vote on
the bill and its amendments.

mado by the senator from Illinois (Mr.
Palner) to strike out all of the bill after
the first section. Notice of other amend
mentS had been given. Pending that cons
dition of tss question, the senator from
Oregon (Mr. Doiph) moved to recommit the
bill TO the committee on finance. The chair
holds that that Is proper parliamentary
question, and that under the rules Of the
Senate il has precedence over any motion
to amend. Therefore the pending question
on the bill is the motion of the senator from
Oregon to recommit the bill"
Mr.. Morgan spphaled from that decision,
but after some discussion be withdrew the
appeal.
GoRMAN ASKS MORE TIME.
Mr. German said there were senator's who
| were entirely unprepared to carry out the
agreement, and who desired that further
| reasonable time should be granted. He,
therefore, appealed to the senator from
Alabama tMr. Morganl not to insist on
having vote taken to-day. but to let it be
| fixed for some other day.
Mr.. Morgan said that he had drawn up a
proposition which he would submit to the
| Senate, but, first, he repeated his previous
remark that no had asked the senator from
| New York (Mr. Hill whether he desired to
speak on the bill, and that that senator said
| he did not Mr.. Morgan went on to submit
| his proposition. 1t was that on Thursday,
July Z, at o'clock p. m., the Senate will,
without further debate. proceed to vote on
the bill and any pending amendments, with
out any dilatory motion.

The presiding officer stated the question.

The presiding officer intinnated that under
