WASHINGTON. March l0.-The tarli

interest manifested on all sides. Mr.
McMillin opened for the Democrats
and there has not been at this session
any such interest taken iU any speech
as in his. He was in good form and
made a splendid talk. When he con
cluded the applause on the Democratic
side lasted for many minutes and he
was surrounded by his associates who
shook his hand warmly. A bouquet
was placed in front of him by admir-

house has apparently had the effect OF
almost wiping out the bad feeling
which comes from the silver question.
