most exciting scenes that has occurred in the
senate since the silver debate began was wit
Sessed Wednesday. Senators Wolcott and
German were the principals, but Messrs.
Chandler, Allen, Of Nebraska, Hoar and Sher-
man were dragged into the controversy The
trouble began during the debate in the morn
ing hour on the resolution OF Senator Dubois to
postpone the consideration Of the silver, tarin
and election questions until January l5 or
until after the legislatures OF the states of
Washington, Wyoming and Montana had filled
the vacancies in the senate.
HoUsE-All the vitality was drawn out OF
the proceedings in the house Wednesday by

Mr.. Morse, OF Massachusetts, because the
house refused to allow him to print in the Con.
gressional Record some editorial comments at
tacking Commissioner OF Pensions Lochren. 1t
was 8: 80 p. m when the federal election debate
was resumed. Only two speeches were deliv-
cred Wednesday, one by Mr. lawson of Geor-
gia, and the other by Mr. Daniels of New York.
Both were confined largely to the constitutional
phases of the question and created neither eX-
citement for particular interest
WASHINGTON, Sept 29-SENArE-Mr. Teller
succeeded in having adopted the resolution
calling upon the secretary Of the treasury for
Information as to the anticipation of interest
on government bonds during the last thirteen
years. The resolution was not adopted, how
ever, until Mr. PETER had made one of his STIR
ring harangues, in the course of which he
severely criticised the republican senators who
were supporting the administration, and whose
conduct in repressing resolutions of Inquiry lie
declared would be disapproved by the country.
The set speech upon the repeal bill of Thursday
was made by Senator PETER, of Kansas.

marked the proceedings of the senate Wednes-

the house Thursday the lie actually
changed. The rest OF the day was devoted to

protection of the purity OF the ballot
WAsHINGToN Sept so 0-SENATE-Rencwed
talk of compromise between the friends OF sill
yer and the advoca les of unconditional repeal
filled the air in the senate Friday. This was,
in part, caused by the letter signed by Wharton
Barker of Philadelphia, and many business
firms of that city, advocating o compromise
which would involve q recognition of silver as
money and also the rescue Of the protective
tariff from the assault Of the free trade mem
bers of the ways and means committee in the

it was ordered printed as public document
