SITUATION THIS AFTERNOON

The senate was called to order and pro.
ceeded to business at II O'Clock. Senator
PETER offered a resolution directing the
judiciary committee to investigate the
question as to whether The repeal of the
Bland-Allison act by the Sherman act did
not leave the law for the free coinage of
silver in full force.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, then ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
repeal of the silver purchase bill.
SHERMAN HEARD FROM.
Senator Sherman, at meeting of the
senate finance committee to-day, called
attention to the depleted gold reserve and
notified the Democrats that they must
issue bonds to protect it.
He threatened to introduce an amend
ment to the pending repeal bill to pro-
vide for the issue of bonds if the Demo
Gratis did not move in the matter. After
some discussio however, Senator Sher-
man, upon the advice Of This colleagues
ON the committee consented not to carry
this threat into effect. He was persuaded
to desist for fear this move would tend to
complicate matters, reopen the silver
fight and prevent vote on the bill.
