STEWART OPPOSES.
THE NEVADA SENATOR ON. THE
SHERMAN REPEAL.

Senator PETER Introduces IA Bill For \
an Appropriation of $500, 900, 900 In
Aluminium Coins.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Mr. Stewart
Rep., New addressed the senate in OPP
position to the repeal bill. He began
his speech with history of the closing
of the European and American minis
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver; of the conference held at Paris
to consider the unification of coins,
weights and measures, at which confer
ence the United States was represented
by Samuel b. Ruggles. If any particle
of interest existed in the mind of any
senator in connection with the legisla-
ton of 1878, by which the silver dollar
was dropped out of the coinage IRE
naming out until the passage OF the
Bland Allison act), he had an oppor-
tunity of learning from Mr.. Stewart
every incident bearing upon it, before,
since, and at the time of its enactment.
Mr.. Stewards version of that old his
tory, differed from the version given by
Mr.. Sherman last week. Little atten-
ton was paid to Mr.. Stewards speech,
and at one point of it he complained
that the senator's were in the dark
rooms and not in the chamber. A call
of roll quickly secured quorum. Mr..
Stewart declined to Permit Mr.. Hoar to
interpose some remarks and Mr.. AL
drich (Rep.) met similar treatment, his
interference being called "aggravat-
ing"
He occupied the floor over three and
, hale 81 T. =
typewriter sheets and having finished
the senate went into executive session
by vote of 35 to %.
The resolution changing the hour Of
meeting from noon to II a. m. was
offered by Mr.. Voorhees, Dem, Ind. }
and is to be called for action today. A
concurrent resolution for joint select
committee on finance (seven senators
and seven representatives. was intro
duced by Mr.. Morgan Dem, Ala and
is also to be called up today. The most
remarkable proposition of the day was
