THE LAST DITCH.
Stewart Spoke as Long as Voorhees,
Held His Quorum.


WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-In the Senate
to-day Vest gave notice of an amendment,
to the repeal bill in the nature of a substi
tute. After repeating the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act 1t authorizes the
issue of coin certificates for uncoined
bullion, consisting of the seigniorage on
the silver heretofore purchased, and pro.
vides for the coinage of American silver
deposited by owners at the rate Of S3,000,.
600 per month up to $500, 900. 900, this COIN
age to be fairly proportioned among the
silver-produciDg States and Territories.
The holders of standard silver dollars
may have them exchanged for certificates,
and authority is given to the Secretary OF
the Treasury TO refuse payment In gold on
any obligation Of the United States when
he is satisfied that the gold is applied TO,
expectation. A joint committee of the two
Houses is to examine into the financial and
monetary condition of the Government and
people of the United States. and the 10 per
cent tax on State bank circulation is 20 be
removed.
The silver-repeal bill was then taken uu
and Stewart of Nevada took the floor and
resumed his speech where he left off at
O'Clock this morning. Shortly afterward
Pettigrew of South Dakota suggested nc
quorum, but upon rollcall sufficient num-
ber was found present and Stewart re-
sumed his speech.
An effort was made to adjourn at G
O'Clock until Monday. but it failed and the
Senate contin ued in session with every
prospect that Stewart would go on SPEAK
ing all night If he did not break down
through sheer exhaustion.
Senator Manderson of Nebraska offered
a resolution that the Committee on Pacific
Railroads be instructed to inquire into
the receivership Of the Union Pa
cific Railroad and what steps were
necessary to protect the interest and
secure the indebtedness to the United
States Government. Brice, chairman of
the committee on Pacific Railroads. pointe
out the necessity OF receivers certificates
to be issued. and to have preference over
Government liens on the property, and
supplemented the resolution with an
amendment authorizing the employment
of counsel in the matter. Consideration
OF the resolution was postponed, and
Stewar. resumed his speech, continuing 4
until s o'clock, when he was succeeded by
PETER. The galleries at this time were
practically deserted. The President re-
mains firm for unconditional repeal, and
Voorhees, will hold out as long as he can
keep a quorum.
The failure of the thirty-eight-hour ses-
sion has rather discouraged the repeal
Senators. and meanwhile the efforts of the
compromisers goes on. The basis seems
to be the Harris amendment, but there Is a
wide difference of opinion as to whether
the bond provision should be added.
The debate continued in the same man.
ner as at the othei night sessions. with
frequent rollcalls, until 1:50. when the
adjournment was taken until tomorrow.
