cial Of the 18th says:
Shortly after the Senate met to-
day the third attempt was made By
Senator Voorhees, TO 6x . time when
vote could be tsken on the repeal
Of the Sherman bill. Voorhees, re-
marks were pointed and vigorous.
Abiding 70 the force bill, be declsr-
cd it Was not debated to death, but
was killed by the law Of majority.
He appealed to the silver mana
gers to know if there was time
when . vote could be taken, and was
replied to by Senator Dubois, who is
tonight being congratulated and com
plimented, even by those who are OPP
posed to him in the Senate, for his
able and concise statement Of the po-
s:tion OF the silver members.
Dubois said: "The Senate has
heen treated 10 splendid declama-
ton by the Senator in charge of the
bill who seemed trying to explain to
somebody outside the Senate why he
was not attempting to do something
contrary to the usage of the Senate.
The statement that the force bill was
voted down was loosely made. Il
could not have heen seriously intend
ed. A vote was never had upon it,
for it was displaced by vote in the
Senate to substitute the apportion-
ment hill for it. The Senators from
Indiana and Maryland and all other
Senators ON their side of the cham
Der intended that no vote should ev-
er be had on the force bill.
"This is the third time and for the
same reasons that the Senator from
Indiana has asked to fix q time for a
| vote on this bill"
| Speaking for those opposed to the
measure, Dubois said: "Many Sena-
tors have already given notice of in
tention to speak and it is we'll known
that others wish to express their
views. 1t is unusual to prevent Sen
ators from being heard and they are
not used to being hurried or threat
ened. A result will be sooner reach
ed by proceeding in an ordinary and
customary manner. Senators on the
other side of the question have occu-
pied as much time as their oppo.
nents."
i Referring to the attitude of the an.
ti-silver Republican Senators, Dubois
said: Il can say for the comfort anC
cheer of the Senator from Indian,
. that the administration Senators or
this side of the chamber will follow
gaily under his leadership even if i
be to closure. The senior Senate
from Massachusetts, will carry tn,
banner while the junior Senator from
the same State beats the drum. Tn
distinguished Senator from Ohio viii
march arm in arm with the Senate
, from Indiana and the others will keel
: close rank.
"For further encouragement it cal
be safely said these administrator
Senators on the Republican side c
the chamber will accept withou
, question any precedent the Senate
from Indiana may now establish

to Replying to criticism by Hos
SIS Dubois admitted, as every one shoul
al that the Senator from Massachuse1
had been longer in the service of I
Republican party, hut he (Duboi
