legislative day in the memory OF the Jourhai clerX
of the senate except which was at the time
of the Electoral Commission in lS'' when regis

days.
As soon as a quorum of Senators was obtained
which was AZ 1o.2O a. m, the silver Purchase Repeal
hill was taken up and Mr. PETER pop. kanD
continued the speech in opposition to 1t which he be-
gan last week. and Of which to-cays ins'aiineh'
was the fifth The closure rule was not taken up
because this being still the legislative day of Tues
day there was no morning hour. If there had
been a morning hour. the resolution in the regular
order Of business would have been laid before the
Senate. 1t might have been taken up, also, on
notion but no such motion was made.
Mere than the usual listessness and nattention
prevailed as Mr. PETER proceeded with his discourse
The quorum melted away but there was no dis
position 10 notice the fact, and consequently no
call of the Senate There seemed TO be. however
an interchange Of views going on among the Sena-
tors who were in the chamber. Mr. voorhees, Dem,

camps and took seat beside Mr.. Teller tRep

Mr.. PETER having yielded the floor temporarily
the House Joint resolution for the restoration Of
the personal property of the Mormon Church in
Utah, in the hands of receiver about N5U-
eoO in bonds, to the Church for charitable uses
was reported ba * from the Judiciary Committee
by Mr.. Teller Giep.. Cob, with an amendment
specifying the which the fund may Dc APP

relief OF its poor and distressed members, the ed
ucation of children and the building and repair OF
houses of worship. but In which the rightfuihess Oh
the practice of polygamy shall not be incuicated
The amendment was agreed TO and the joint reso'
luton was passed. Mr. PETER resumed the moor
and went with his sps4ch He closed his speech
at 100 with expression of apprehension that
perhaps" some Senators might think he had oc'
cupied a great deal more time ia discussing the
question than he should have done
