IN THE SENATE.
AS soon as the Senate met PETER offered
| resolution directing the Committee on
Judiciary to investigate and report
whether the repeal of part of the Act of
February Is, 1878, by the passage of the
AcG OF uIy Ii, 1889, affected the Tree COIN
age OF silver at ratio of l6 to l or whether
that law was still in force. Referred to
the Committee on Judiciary.
Sherman reported the House Joint reso-
luton thanking the nations of the world
for cooperation in the Worlds Fair and
asking immediate consideration.
Hoar thought the method proposed not
suitable. The President OF the United
States should make express aud courte-
GUS acknowledgment to each Govern
ment by name.
Cullom agreed with Hoar.
Sherman thought the resolution came
from the Secretary OF State and was in
the form desired.
Hoar offered an amendment in G""Ord-
ance with his Idea. The amendment WAS
agreed to and the resolution as amended
passed.
The repeal bill was then taken up and
Pugh spoke against it.
heterrlng to the recent compromise,
Pugh said the Democratic Senators had
united in spirit of compromise and con-
! cession and selected an equal number of
Senators from those friendly to uncondi-
tional repeal and those opposed to it, and
with the full knowledge of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle that
such an effort was being made to bring
the Democratic Senators together upon
some common ground that could be en-
acted into law. They had accomplished
that laudaDle undertaking SO far as to
agree upon a compromise that secured the
signatures Of every Democratic Senator
but six. The fact was not considered
doubtful that fOrty-three Democratic SEN
ators would have sanctioned compromise
had not the President interposed an OBJ
lection and demanded unconditional re-
peal al all hazards.
Pugh was now satisfied that all effort at
compromise failed solely on account Of
| Cleveland and his Secretary of the Treas
ury. He WAS satisfied he could not get
sufficient number of Senators to join him
in filibusLering practices, and he was
forced TO record his vote against this dia-
bOlical measure and appeal to the people
10 organize their forces for the great bat
tie OF the future
Pugh said he was willing, if be had suf-
tclent support, TO resort to any and all
means TO defeat the pending bill. he was
proud TO be called IiliDusterer in defeat
ing a conspiracy equal in ruinous conse-
quences III Its success to war, peStilence
and famine. He would rather be called
fiIibusterer by the Conspirators and the
ick-spittles OF gold kings than be called
traitor or 1aithless representative by the
State and people who honored him with
their trust and confidence. AS for him
self, he would do MS duty as a Senator as
he understood it, and leave the conse-
quences to God and his country.
Stewart then resumed his speech. He
spoke of the gold ombination as having
agents in the Capitol to dictate legislation
and as having elected a President deter
mined to carry out their policy. The
President was now in the saddle and Con-
gress was helpless. The time might come
when naughty tyrants would meet re-
buke from the people.
Stewart yielded to Jones, who de-
scribed the relations of the workingman
to the money system. He LAID at the door
of the defective monetary system the re-
spOnslbillty for the great mass of unem-
ployed, and said the highest goal Of civil
liZation Of the nation would not be
reached until every man was kept busy.
In conclusion, Jones said: The Roman
republic. Mr.. President, did not lose iib-
critics until the Senate degenerated into
mere instrument for recording the will of
the Chief Magistrate. 1his is very diff
ferent republic from that of Rome, and
although history, we are told, sometimes
repeats itself, l, for one, will not believe
the Senate OF the United States is ever to
become a subservient Senate. II, how
ever, there is majority in this Senate in
favor of repeal, let me admonish those
Senators to pause and reflect. There is

passage; that no condition requires it,
and it is excellent to have giants
strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like

The Senate then went into executive
session, and at 5:15 p. NJ. took a recess
until II O'Clock tomorrow morning.
IN THE HOUSE.
Caminetti this morning asked unani-
mouse consent for consideration of his
resolution relating to the separation of
the Independence and Visalia land dis
tricts of California. Coffeen withdrew
his objection and the resolution passed,
Coombs of New York created some
thing of a sensation and some amusement
by Offering resolution outlining a plan
for tariff bill, and instructing the Ways
and Means Committee to bring in bill
in accordance wits its provisions.
Cultivate insisted that the resolution
be referred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and it was so referred.
McRae called up the bill for the protec-
ton of forest reservations. but the morn
ing hour expired without a quorum ap-
pearing, and debate on the bankruptcy

Lane of Illinois took the floor in oppo-
sitiOn.
H. E. Kilgore of Texas made strong
speech against the measure
Pending further debate the House adj
