 He Says That He Will Offer an
 Amendment 10 Repeal All Of the
 Sherman Act and Will Ask for a Vote Upon It.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The session ot the senate to. day was enlivened by an ex- change of personalities between Senators Wsshburn and Morgan and by the address of Senator Sherman on the repeal bill. He called attention to the important legisla- tion which had to be disposed of. The senate had been in session over three months. "If this continues" MT. Sher- man added, "the senate will no longer command the respect of an intelligent and active people. We must resort to some way by which the power of the majority may be exercised. The responsibility rests upon the other side of the chamber. They gay they cannot agree, and they must agree. I have sat here for more than month without opening my mouth, desiring to hear from the other side" He then said:
 'If you (meaning the democrats) cannot do something you will retire; we will fix 1t on this side of the chamber and do the Oc6t WO SoA "Ab1 ooA PoAAsASSA lAAOASAS "ho belong to us. But yours is the proper duty, and therefore beg of you, net in reproach or in anger to perform 1t. You have the supreme honor of being able to settle this question, and you ought to do it."
 Mr Morgan-Will the senator vote for the unconditional repeal of the entire Sherman act?
 Mr. Sherman-No. There are many provisions in that law which no man would vote to repeal. The only provision about which there ia any dispute is the provision for the purchase of silver bullion. My honorable friend would not propose to re- peal the whole act if he would study the question in all its details.
 MT. Morgsn-I have studied 1t and will offer an amendment to repeal the whole act and will aek vote upon 1t.
 MT. Sherman-I shall vote against it with the greatest pleasure, and have no doubt that two thirds of the senators on the other side will do the same.
 MT. Morgsn-Very we'll. We will try it..
 Mir. Shermsn-That is precisely what we want you to do. If we will try it to-mor- row, and if we dispose of the question as we think best for the people, we will glad den the hearts of millions of laboring men now being deprived of employment; we will relieve the business cares of thousands of men whose whole fortunes are embarked in trade; we will relieve the farmer and facilitate the transportation of his products to foreign countries which is now clogged by want of money. Break up this obstruction to the will of the majority, give the senate power to pass this bill and pass it, and in ten days the skies will brighten and business will resume its ordi- nary course, and all the clouds which lowered upon our house shall be in the deep bosom of the ocean buried" Ap- plause.
 The discussion was continued by MT. Call, MT. Mills and others. MT. Mills said Mir. Sherman had hit the mark when he placed the responsibility for action upon the democratic party.
 On motion of MT. Voorhees, the senate took recess until 10 o'clock to morrow morning.
