Officers.

the Democrats on Tuesday,
at the Latest.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-In the Senate
Kentucky, and his defense of Secretary
Carlisle, whose successor in the Senate he
is, was received most attentively.
Tomorrow eulogies will be delivered
upon the late Senator Stanford of Cali
forpia.
Among the petitions presented today
was one by Cullom, of Illinois, from ex-
soldiers, residents of his state, alleging
they are beset by detectives of the gov
eminent travelling in disguise, secretly
cooperating with those who have been
distinguished for antipathy for those who
fought for the flag. It is alleged
that the spies, with friendly pre-
fences, visit the homes of the pen
sioners land with the 5asest hy-
pocrisy and fawning deception seek tc
find some clue to furnish to the pension
Office to deprive old veterans of pensions.
The petitioners ask protection from the
methods OF the government officers who
attempt to paint pensioners as perjurers
and criminals, without the right of being
heard in their own defense.
Cullom said the petition contained very
serious allegations, and which, if true,
should be brought to light.
Henderson. (Republican) OF Nebraska.
submitted a resolution, which went over
until tomorrow, asking for information
from the interior department as to the
abolition or consolidation of land offices
in Nebraska.
Other states were included at the sug-
gestion OF different senators.
Henderson said if the offices were abol-
ished or consolidated in Nebraska, it had
been done without consultation with the
congressional delegation from that state.
The Senate resumed consideration OF
Che repeal bill.
Lindsay (Democrat) of Kentucky, ad-
dressed the Senate in support of the bill.
In the beginning, he called attention to
the fact that the bill now under consider
alton contains not word looking to the
discontinuance of silver coinage under
the existing laws and leaves unimpaired
the provisions of the act of 1890 for the
coinage of silver in the future. He char
acteriZed as most extraordinary the
position that we ought not, bad as
the present law is, to repeal it
until it is known what further Iegisla-
ton in the interest OF silver the president
will propose. He said he had read the
presidents message in vain to find evil
dence upon which Senator Pugh rests the
belief that the president does not intend
to keep faith with the party and the peo-
pie. Lindsay then took up the charge OF
inconsistency so frequently made of late
against Secretary Carlisle, and defended
him at length against the accusations.
Higgins said in his opinion the remedy
was to stop the coinage of silver and see
whether such action, coupled with that
of India, would not compel England and
Europe to resume the free coinage of silver.
At the conclusion of Lindsay's speech,
Morgan, of Alabama. spoke in opposition
to the repeal of the bill, and he was fol-
lowed by Higgins, (Repu blican) OF Ala
bama, who is in favor of repeal.
At the conclusion OF Higgins speech,
the senate, after short executive session,
adjourned
