II seerns Difficult TO Ascertain Just How
senator Squire Stands On the
silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct THE senate was
called to order this morning At the usual
hour but had to wait for a quorum. II
then proceeded with the routine bust
ness.
Sherman called attention to 4 mis-.
statement in a recent speech made by
White OF California, quoting the Bank
er's Magazine of August, ISIS, as to the
coinage act. There was no such state
ment in the Bankers Magazine. He
said the whole statement was manu-
featured lie from beginning to end it
was worse than forgery, an absolute
fabrication, branded with the brand OF
infamy. He did not blame the senator
from California, because the alleged ar
ticle from the magazine had been fire.
quently quoted by others.
White said he had taken the extract
from a work written by very promi-
nent republican and had not himself
examined the Bankers Magazine. II
the extract was not correct he would
omit it from the later edition of his
speech.
The silver purchase repeal bill was
then taken up. Dubois, republican, of
Idaho, rising to 4 personal statement,
called attention to a remark of German
of Maryland, that the resolution intro
duced BY Dubois to defer consideration
of the financial legislation until the
senatorial vacancies from the states of
Washington, Montana and Wyoming
should be filed, wa. offered for the pur-
pose of consu inning time.
Dubois denied this. He mad intro
duced the resolution in the interest OF
the three states referred TO and justi-
fed the introduction OF the resolution
BY the precedent which occurred some
years ago.
Washburu (republicanl Of Minnesota
said the supposed object of the resolu-
tion was to show the opponents OF re-
peal were being taken At an unfair ad'
vantage. He would therefore state the
facts and allow the senate to reach its
own conclusions. OF the three states
in question two were not silver-produc
ing states, and those two states were
represented in the senate bv two sen
ators who favored the repeal of th'
Sherman law.
In response to a question of Wolcot
(republican) of Colorado, Washburl
said he referred to the states OF Wash
ington a0a Wyoming.

The senator from Washington
Squire told me-" Washburn declared
that he would vote for unconditiona

This closed the incident and Kyl,
(populist) of South Dakota addresse,
the senate in opposition 10 the repea
bill.
Kyle ridiculed the Idea that with fire.
