VOTE ON MAN7L['S CASE,
One Will Be Taken by the Senate at
Five O'clock Next Monday
Afternoon.
Senators Holding Their Silver Elo-
quence Until the Question
Reaches Them.
A Repeal Bill VIII BE Introd uoed Coupled
With n Declaration In Favor
Of BlmetaIiisns.

WASHINGTON, Aug. N.--The senate made
no progress in the financial discussion to-
day because the majority OF the members
apparently believe their speeches should be
withheld until the paramount issue of the
repeal Of the Sherman law 10 squarely pre-
ssnted TO the senate. Every indication at
this time points to the improbnbility Of
any repeal by tho senate unless IL is coupled
with some such declaration as 10 made in
tho more positive legislation providing for
actual free coinage At revised ratio.
When the senate met to-day numerous
petition were presented, some for the un-
conditional repeal OF tho Sher man aot and
some against its repeal without provision
for tho FREQ coinage OF silver. One was
presented from the board of managers OF
the national temperance society against the
proposed six months extension of the
whisky tax.
A resolution was offered by Gallinger
and laid over until Tomorrow. calling for
q report as to whether the secretary Of the
interior and commissioner of pens ons
have conformsd to the provisions OF the ex-
listing law In suspending and dropping pen
sioneEs from the pension rolls.
The Montana senatorial case was taken
up and Pasco addressed the senate in oppo-
sition to the right Of Mantle to a seat un-
der the governors appointment. Dubois
made a short argument on the other side of
tine question. This WAS followed by COL
loquy between Senators Mitchell, of Ore
eon, and Chandler, of New Hampshire the
former advocating aud the latter opposing
the admission Of Mantle.
After short Argument by Call against
tho right of appointment by the governor,
Hoar. who has charge Of the report, called
for a vote upon the resolution for the ad-
mission OF Mantle. Objection was made,
however, by Vance. and finally unanimous
consent was given that the vote shall be
taken Monday next At five p. m.
The financial discussion in the house to-
day was spiritless and uninterestinR. n is
doubtful II quorum could have been mus
tered on roll call at any time to-day. The
silver debate WAS resumed and Daniels,
republican. Of New York, spoke in favor Of
repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act. Congress, he said. should inter
vens TO give some measure o: relief TO the
people, by changing the financial policy.
For the past fourteen years the accumula-
tion of silver had been going on. Instead
Of silver going into circulation il had gone
into the treasury and there IL remained as
q useless article.
Cooper. Of Florida, and Goldzier of
Illinois. spoke in favor Of repeal.
The death OF Congressman Chapman was
announced and the house adjourned.
