Thirty Eight Day.
SENATE.-After the Senate met the repea
bill was taken up and Mr.. Voorhees, sought Il
obtain an agreement as to when vote SHOULD
be taken. After n sensational denunciatior
of the New York bankers and defiance to the
press that has been crltlcising his actions and
questioning his motives, lie demanded that
the minority senators name date for a ilna
vote, and Mr.. Dubois Of Idaho met the de
mand by II positive declaration that the anti.
repeal men would oppose the passage OF the
repeal bill by availing themselves Of every
advantage afforded them under the rules.
VOORHEES, rctallated by giving notice he
would tomorrow move for longer and more
nearly continuous sessions, aud the financial
situation in the Senate appears now to have
resolved itself into question endurance.
Mr. Teller said, us there were many sen
ators who desired TO speak upon the subject
before vote was taken, he did not consider
1t incumbent upon him to attempt TO say
what time would be required for the future
discussion OF the subject. lie gave notice
that when the daily sessions were extended
into the night the advocates of the bill, n.
well MS Its opponents, would have to be pres
cnt. lie and those with whom he stood
would not be frightened from their course OF
duty by the invocation of that public opinion
to which Mr.. Voorhees, had referred, the
opinion OF the metropolitan press md Of the
national bankers. He denied that there had
been pressed outside Of these lines any public
opinion except for the defeat of the bill
which Mr. Voorhees, defends with all the zeal
of new convert.
Mr.. Hill asked whether Mr.. Teller was not
satisfied that there was majority Of the sen.
ators favorable to repeal
Mr. Teller replied that this was a question
which Mr.. Hill had no right 10 ask, and
which he would decline to answer explicitly
When the sense Of the Senate on this Ques-
tion had been last taken the majority had
been almust two-ihlrds against the measure
aud he would rot insult the intelligence Of
the body by presnmug that It had changed SC
completely IN so short time.

of the repeal bill.
