WASHINGTON, July 19.-The resolution
offered by Morgan last week instructing
the committee on finance to report bill
with all convenient dispatch giving all
paper money issued by the government
and standard silver dollars the full legal
tender effect given by law to gold coins,
was taken up in the senate today and
discussed for an hour and half, the de-
baters being Morgan, Sherman and Alli-
son. At O'Clock it was relegated to the
calendar.
The anti-option bill was taken up and
it's consideration proceeded with. Stew
art made a long speech, principally on
the subject of bimetallism and of the de-
probation of farm lands and the general
of the country resulting from the shrink
age in the volume of currency.
A large number of amendments offered
by Washburn were agreed to without
question, and substitute was offered
for the whole bill by George, in behalf
of himself, Coke and Pugh. A reprint
of the bill was ordered, and Invent over
until tomorrow.
A message announcing the action of
the house on the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill was laid before the senate, in
cluding the house provision in relation
to Pinkerton detective force. Allison
said in regard to the latter that he had
no doubt of its meeting the approval of
the senate, but its phraseology might
have to be modified, and it should be in
it's appropriate place. On his motion,
therefore, the amendment was disagreed
to, and conference agreed to on the
whole bill. Adjourned.
