WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-This morning
Senator Voorhees, again sought to obtain
from the opponents Of repeal some infor-
nation rs to whom . vote could be had on
tho repeal bill. The effort elected no
moro information than did tho former
one, although Senator Teller said later
their opinion on the subject would bc
Rivcn. AS Allison vas desirous of procecd-
Ing with his speech discussion was reached,
but another effort will probably be made
early next week. II unsuccessful, Mr..
Voorhees, will then ask that night sessions
be held.
PETER offered resolution which went
over, instructing the committee on inter-
state commerce to inquire whether any,
and IL SO, what legislation is necessary to
prevent interruption to interstate railway
traffic by lawless persons. and to punish
persons guilty of robbery and murder
committed on interstate railway trains.
Tho resolution was offered by Manderson,
republican of Nebraska, yesterday, calling
for information as to whether land Offices
In Nebraska have becn abolished or con.
soiidated, was taken up. After an amend
ment SO as to include all land Offices, the
resolution was agreed to.
Tho repeal bill was taken up. Voorhees,
asked unanimous consent that the general
debate close on the 25th inst, amend
ments to be debated until the 9th, under
the five-minute rule. Teller objected.
Allison. republican Of Iowa. addressed tho
senate on the bill.
Allison said no voted for tho Inv of 1880
with great hesitation, rs no did not be-
lieve In the policy of piling up bullion In
the treasury and holding il there un-
used. He favored coming every dollar of
silver In the treasury as soon as practica-
BILE. He favored the use OF the $50 ,Oo0, 600
seignorage now In the treasury to MAIN
tain parity between the two metals. He
said the United States could not continue
to purchase silver without seriously en-
dangering the standard established in
1873 and bringing tho nation with all it's
opportunities OF wealth, labor and pro-
duction to silver standard. Allison was
questioned about the recent monetary
conference ut Brussels. He said the
Brussels conference made more progress
respecting the solution of the silver ques-
ton than was made at all prior confer
ences. II the United States would under
take the policy of restoring silver by in
ternational arrangement, IL would be ac-
complished within . reasonable time, a
parity between tho two metals would be
restored and silver would practically be
rehabilitated. That was the solution of
the question.
Hill of New York asked whether tho re-
poal of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act would facilitate or hinder tho
perfection OF such International agree
nent. Allison replied that was only q
matter of judgment. George OF Missis-
sippi asked whether there was any senti-
ment In Europe in favor of reassembling
the monetary conference. Allison had no
doubt that public opinion in Europe was
that conference of nations should bc as
semblcd to deal with the question and, in
that statement he did not exclude Eng
land. Hc believed IL patience was eaer-
cised, 10 the question WAS dealt with In n
statesmanlike way. IL the senators would
dismiss from their minds prejudices and
party ieanings and deal with the problem
as great question involving the whole
country, its integrity and it's interests.
tho time would soon come when silver and
gold would travel side by side.
Upon the conclusion of Senator Allison's
speech, Senator White of California in.
