Morgan Replies to Hiil-DanieI and Mills
Lock Horns.
WASHINGTON, Oct 18.-On reconven-
ing this morning the senate listened to
Morgan of Alabama on the motion of
Dolph of Oregon to amend MONDAYS
journal so as to show the presence of
Allen at $50 pm. of that day, Allen
having failed to answer when his name
WAS called. Morgan devoted most of
his remarks to reply to Hills speech
OF yesterday. taking occasion to charac-
terize the latter as an astute politician,
rather than a fair-minded lawyer, in
twisting decision OF the supreme court
to serve his purpose, adding that it took
an easy conscience to follow the su-
preme court in all its decisions.
Morgan continued at great length,
touching on his part in the rebellion, OF
which he was not ashamed. and saids
"The clock struck at the White House
and the cuckoos IN the senate put their
heads out of box and responded, and
informed us of the time of day."
AT the conclusion of Morgan's speech
Voorhees, moved to lay on the table the
motion of Dolph to amend the journal.
1t was agreed TO: Yeas, As; nays, 8.
Teller (Rep.) of Colorado then moved
to amend the journal so that it would
show his presence on certain roll call
when he did not respond to hie name,
and he addressed the senate. He
quoted from statement of Carlisle in
regard to insisting upon the passage Of
the repeal bill and said: "What right
has the secretary of the treasury to in
teriere with us in this matter? resent
it myself as a breach OF privilege,
When we surrender our convictions,
whether it be ON the advice of the pres
ident or on account of public clamor,
the degradation OF the senate will begin
and the usefulness of the senate will be
at an end"
He said when the senate declined to
be stamped by boards of trade, ETC., it
would command the respect OF the
American people.
Allen OF Nebraska here suggested that
no quorum was present. Roll call de-
veloped the fsct that AS senators were
present, and Teller proceeded. Speak
ing of his right to refrain from voting,
Teller referred to the fact that Conkliug,
Carpenter and Blaine when members OF
the senate, had frequently taken ad-
vantage OF the privilege, and declared
that no one questioned their knowledge
off the constitution and parliamentary
law.
Daniel dam. OF Virginia regarded
those who called themselves the major
ity on the pending question more re-
sponnible for the delays which had

fever. The vessel ia held at quarantine
and will not be allowed to come to the

ing in the history of the cases that war
rants the diagnosis OF yellow fever. A
further examination will be made to-
morrow which may result in positive
statement of the case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Demo-
cratic steering committee of the senate
was in session great part of the day
trying to devise scheme for the settle
ment OF the differences existing on the
financial question on that side Of the
chamber, and appearances at the close
of the day indicated that some progress
was made. 1t is asserted that the COM
mittee progressed far enough to prepare
a rough draft of bill which ia to be
submitted to the senate as soon as the
majority of the senators can be con-
suited upon it's merits. The members
OF the committee refused to confirm the
report. as did also those with whom
they consulted. As
The story adoat also asserted that the
bill which was to be submitted would
simply provide for the extension of the
present law for year from the first OF
next July.
One great obstacle which apparently
stands in the way of progress is the
attitude of the repeal advocates. 1t is
bring these members to see the i'm
portance of a settlement of the question,
and the scheme to bring about q party
measure will be dropped II this is un-
successful, and the Republican senators
will be asked to join the Democrats, so
as to make majority of the senate
The Democratic conference for the
present has given way to a consultation
of senators individually, and it will not
be decided upon until late in the week
if at all.
In discussion of the situation this
afternoon, Senat Or Pe,tgrew said: "The
Democrats as party cannot agree, nor
can the Republicans as party. There
are 38 senator's Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and Pcpulists against repeal and
eight are counted with the repealers WI o
are anxious for compromise. When
either of the parties can agree upon q
measure, the silver and compromise
men will get together and frame a bill
which will go through because they will
have the votes to put it through"
Vest is circulating call for caucus
OF all the Democratic senators. 1t pledges
them to abide by the result. If any is
reached. The silver men sign it readily,
but the repeal men are holding off. It
is doubtful whether German will Issue
the call unless the desire for it seems
pretty general, as he thinks it is likely
it will do more harm than good.
Voorhees, said to day he would make
an effort to continue for the present the
recess system inaugurated last evening.
His plan is to have the senate sit each
day from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. He Is of
the opinion that this will prove the best
plan for turning cut work and getting
rid of long speeches. He thinks the end
OF the long debate is near, and intimates
that the present week may close it.
