WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-When the SEN
ate met this morning it was in striking
contrast to the last hour of yesterdays
session. Instead of the excitement
which prevailed on the floor and the in
tense interest manifested in the CALLER
les, there were barely dozen present,
and the galleries we're practically de-
serted.
MIR. Teller. republican, of Colorado,
was recognized as entitled to the floor,
but before he began his remarks Mr..
Stewart, republican, of Nevada, called
attention to the absence of quorum.
The roll wss called an6 the senators re-
sponded and Mr.. Teller proceeded to ad-
dress the senate.
He began his speech by referring to
the lectures he was receiving from the
press and the senate was ordered, said
he, as if they had masters to proceed
without the dellberation, contrary to the
traditions of the senate, contrary to the
principles laid down in the constitution
to do that which in the judgment, If
not majority, of a respectable minor
ity in numbers, will be disastrous. More
than that, it had been said that those
who represented states fortunate enough
to be rich in mineral wealth were repre-
senting their private interests and there
fore had no right to vote upon the ques-
ton. Yet he could recollect no in
stance OF any senator representing a
manufacturing state rising in his place
AID stating that he could not vote on
question affecting the tariff because bis
people were directly interested in manu-
featuring. He personally had no inter
est IN any silver mining property and he
should not be deferred from doing his
duty, as he saw it, by any newspaper at
tacks or by any appeals of chambers of
commerce. The meeting of 500 or 600
representatives of boards of trade in
this city on the 18th inst, would be
powerless to affect his vote.
He then referred to an editorial in the
New York World addressed to himself,
calling attention to the small number of
people represented by him. He sup
posed that question had been settled by
the fathers of the republic; that the
constitution provided that little states
like Delaware, with 10000 population;
Vermont, with less than half the popu-
latlon of his state; that Rhode Island,
with about half the population of his
state. should have equal representation
in the senate with their larger sister
states. IL seemed to him the United
States was entering upon new condi-
ton of things. We're those people in
their hot haste for legislation which was
IN their interest prepared to tear down
and destroy the constitution? Who
doubted it? He represented a state OF
which he WIS proud and which had
more population than twelve other
8 ates.
He denied emphatically that there
WAS an attempt on the part or the repre-
sentatives of the silver states 70 have
the government purchase the output Of
the mines. He also denied most posi-
lively that the public had expressed
their opinion upon the subject and in
favor OF repeal. The great metropoli-
tan papers had spoken, the industrial
classes had not. They were not
in favor of repeal. The industrial in
terests had been throttled from an ex-
preston of opinion by the threat that
money currency TO carry or business
would be withheld. That the threat
had been made with an effrontery that
would shame the devil.
AS to what had induced the house to
vote for the bill, which the articles
SAID were public opinion, the courte-
sizes due to the other body would pre-
vent his stating his opinion OF what in
fiuenced the vote. He would leave
that to another place where he would
rot be trammeled by the rules Of the
ser ate.
He was not, said Mr.. Teller, with
sarcasm, IN the confidence OF the adj
He would read an
article, however, from the New York
Herald which he had been told, was
the closest to the executive. He then
read from an issue of that paper Of
August 9, which said repeal SENATOR
would not yield an inch or the ques-
ton of compromise, except it be
mere sugar cogting, and that, said the |
Colorado senator, "we got in the act Of |
tie committee"
He then read from the New York |
Daily American, of todey, that late last !
night President Cleveland sent his |
lltimatum. Exactly how and by |
= HON and toe exact terms" said Mr.. |
Teller, sarcastically. "will be revealed

Mr.. Vest said if any ultimatum had
