now is that the greater part of the day
will be given to speech making, though
voting on the amendments may begin
late this afternoon. There is special
desire on part of the repeal managers
how ever, to secure vote on the repeal
bill before Monday or Tuesday. because
there are several absent members who
are expected to be here by that time.
who wish have their votes recorded. 1t
is not supposed that the vote will be
postponed for their return, but several
speeches are to be made yet including of
those of Gormap, Cockerell, Dubois,
Jones, Stewart and probably others
They will probably consume the greater
part of the day.
STEWARDS AMENDMENT.
WASHINGTON, 4:l5 p. m.-Stewart
offered an amendment for conference
of all the American states to fix a
Uniform silver coinage. When ell the
countries agreed upon such coin and
opened their mines to free coinage of
silver the United States should do the
same; rejected, yeas, %; nays Al.
The senate convened at II a. M.
There were but twenty senators pres
ent. The urgency deficiency bill was
taken up and passed, also CullOm's
joint resolution transferring the model
battle ship, now at the Worlds fair, to
the state of Illinois for her armory for
the state naval militia.
The repeal bill was then taken up
and Wolcott addressed the senate in
opposition. He was followed by Sher-
man, who spoke of the depleted con-
ditiou of the treasury and the invasion
OF the gold reserve which he said
was reduced to eighty millions. To
should be authorized to issue bonds.
He considered it unwIse t. offer such
amendment to the present bill, but
had read proposition for the sale of
two hundred millions in three per cent
bonds as the method he would sug-
geet for relief. He was followed by
German, VINO c0ntended that when
congress met the democratic party was
as hopeles SLY divided on the silver
question as were the republicans.
There is not majority in favor of the
unconditional repeal, but ne asserted
that many of those who would vote
that way wanted some other measure
passed in place of a Sherman law.
Stewart spoke for few minutes.
ShOup, of Idaho, took the floor and
read a short speech predicting that
disaster would follow the repeal. Tacit
agreement has heen reached and a vote
on the bill proper, will not be taken
today. 1t is expected by The leaders
on both sides that the vote will be
taken on Monday.
Shoup followed German. At the end
OF his speech Stewart offered substi-
tute for the Perkins amendment which
will practically be the same in effect
but differently worded. Substitute
lost, 80 to 80. Perkins amendments
was lost, 80 to Al.
Perry of Arkansas offered the Bland
Allison law as proviso to the repeal
bill.
The Bland-Allison amendment was
lost, 33 TO 81.
Perkins, of California, then offered
an amendment providing for the
coinage Of American silver at the exist
ing ratio with a seignorage charge of
thirty per cent, no gold to issue of less
denomination than $50 to be coined,
and no legal tender, national currency
or treasury notes OF less denomination
than 50 to be issued. The holder of
any standard silver dollar may deposit
the same at the treasury or at any as
sistant treasury on the United States
and receive therefor notes of denOmina-
tions less than SO, which notes shall
have the same legal teuder quality as
coin for which they exchanged: there
Is to be appointed committee of five
monetary experts, members OF which
shall not be otherwise connected with
the government, whose duty it shall be
to keep the treasury and the executive
advised on all necessary matters relat-
ing to currency.
Stewart called attention to a change
over on the part of Voorhees,, Gordon,
Ransom, Hill, Mills, Turpie and Squire
on the silver question, who last spring
voted for free coinage and now. on
PETERS amendment, voted against it.
Teller said he would vote for Perkins
amendment, as it would be better than
the proposed act Teller went on to
speak with great bitterness of the de-
sertion of the cause of silver by the
democratic senators.
40 me this is the most terrible mo-
ment of my legislative life," said Teller
with much feeling. "To me it brings
more fear than any other since | entered
public life. fear ne are entering upon
a financial system from which there is
absolutely no escape. | know there will
be no favorable legislation for silver
until the American people are heard
from at the ballot box and heard from
in a way that will compel attention to
their DESIRES"
Here Teller choked and tears came to
his eyes. He spoke most impressively
and was accorded the most undivided
attention of every senator and the large
audience in the galleries.
Il cannot contemplate this condition
OF things without absolute terror. 1t
strikes to my very soul and | want to
enter this as warning to the American
people, that If they do not desist they
Will enter upon system of industrial
slavery that will be the worst known to
the human race"
