Both Absent From the senate During the
Silver Discussion.

'hNcT Discu6StOn.
WAsniSeToN, April 4.-There was great
ueai o. curiosity III theeSenate as to what
certain senators would do when Senator
Morgan called up his silver resolution to-
any This resolution Senator Morgan has
already declared was for the Durnose of
putting the Presidential aspirants in the
senate on the rack. 1t was aimed particu-
larly at Senator Hill. who is accused of CO.
quoting with both sides of the silver cues
When the resolution was called mn Soma.
tors Palmer of Illinois, Mcpherson Of New
Jersey, and Bricc of Ohio were in their
seats, but the man for whom the crowd
were looking was not present The report
spread instantly that Mr.. Hill was afraid
70 meet the issue, but his friends explained
enat ne was in Albany to attend the
Iunerai OF tho daughter OF his old friend,
EDWARD Murphy. This excuee appeared
70 De somewhat lame, however, and some
one facetiously suggested that the Tam
many tiger was off its feed and David had
gone over to New York on that account.
GoRMAN ALSO ABSENT.
Senator German was also one of the alb
se,tces. IL was rumored that he had an
other attack of lumbago shortly after
senator Morgan introduced his resolution
last Friday. Senator Morgan consumed
inpst OF the afternoon in discussing the
s,iVer question IN general way, and in
ne course of his remarks he dealt some
tteiiins blows at those statesmen who were
hiding in the bush on this question. and
expressed his determination Of forcing all
PRESIDENTIAL aspirants from cover.
senator sherman, after parliamentary
struggle at the conclusion of Morgan
speech, succeeded in sending the resolu-
non to the foot of the calendar. This may
block MT. Morgan's interesting inyesti-
lt...
the silver men have another shot in their
locker, Senator Teller has bill for a
monetary conference high up on the
calendar which he can call up and upon
which, the discussion can take wide
enough range to give each of the senators
an opportunity to define his position. If
opportunity it will be taken for granted
That he was afraid to toe the mark and
place himself on record.
