MIR. Stewart gave notice OF an amend
ment which he intended 10 offer, propOs-
ing a conference TO be held at Washing

Mr. Jones (Nev) took the floor and con-
tinued his speech against the BILL taking
it up at the point where he left or on
Saturday. He said that he had been try
ing to demonstrate that the standard
money OF a country could not be gold,
could not be silver. and could not be any
material thing; that the standard OF
country must be quantity; that The value
units out. and that there never could be
any but a single standard in any country,
and that an unknown quantity. lie went
ON TO elaborate that proposition IN con-
tr3dictiOp Of what he called the "tad' OF
leading senators and leading newspapers;
that what was wanted was not quantity
Of money but quality The section OF the
speech that was delivered by Mir. Jones
to-day attracted very little attention IN
the Senate chamber in cOntradistincilOn
TO that which had been given TO the first
three sections Of it, This was owing
partly 10 the fact that he confined him
self closely 10 his typewriter sheet and
was not interrupted by questions, ana
partly TO the fact that senators were
thinking more of the pending compromise
and Of the effect upon 10 of the Presi-
dents opposition, than they were thinking
Of any arguments for or against the pend
ing bill.
After he had been speaking two hours
and half Mr.. Jones pleaded that ne was
tired and said he would like 10 continue his
speech az some other time. No objection
was made. and. after a call Of the Senate,
10 which forty-seven senators responded,
Mr.. Teller took the floor and proceeded
with an argument against the bill, which
he had begun some time ago. He did not
command the attention Of the Senate much
better than Mr.. Jones did. Without
finishing his speech Mr.. Teller yielded the
floor TO Mr.. Stewart. saying that his
throat was not I'm good condition, and
that he felt unable 10 proceed.
Mr. Stewart took the floor al 3:i5 and
the Senate in favor Of his pro-
posed amendment for Pdn-American
monetary conference. In the course of
his speech, a question was asked him, or
a suggestion made 20 him by Mr. DOlph.
