WASHINGTON. October %, 1898.

Inc senate to-day was the scene OF
the greatest running debate yet heard
since the famous test OF the past ninety
days began. and the dull and uninterest-
ing statistical assurances OF months gave
way to the full expression Of personal
warmth and feeling, and served well TO
show really how far the Southern Demo-
Gratis had drifted from their party asso-
ciates. However unpleasant. 1t is true
that the Southern senators have drifted
away down the stream in this matter.
and have lost q prestige and standing
that will not be retrieved for years 70
come. They have abandoned the sup
port OF their own executive and have
clamored over construction OF the Chi
cago platform which was placed upon
1t by the President and accepted by the
country. They possibly have been earn
est, but they have rushed where angels
dare not tread, and either these senators
will be strongly charged with lack Of
wisdom, or the solid South is a thing Of
the past The future will show that their
supercilious clamor for silver and their
readiness TO tinge with incredulity tho
statements OF Democratic President
OF fairness and Judgment. I'm both OF
which they were lacking
The assertion 80 often made by the South
ern senators that should the repeal prevail
silver was slain and its subsequent sup
port would not be needed by the Presi-
dent or the advocates OF repeal, has done
much 10 al first create suspicious uron
pure motives and at length reflect upon
thp senator's who DrOclatm IL.
The final vote upon the VOORHEES, bill
seems now 20 be assured on Monday,
and then it Is not at all unlikely that
n recess will be taken until late In No
vember. During the voting this after
noon the Senate was we'll filled, and the
galleries were crowded. but the Issue was
unquestioned. and while personal feeling
among the senator's ran high, IL was not
understood or observed by the throng that
awaited the result. There Is no question
now as 20 the result OF the Voorhees, bill.
and while the passage Will make and un-
make senator's, and leave many burning
heart and wounded spirit. the result is
what the country wants and what its
president predicted and caused 20 pre-
vail.
1t IL stated to-day that the testimony
I'm the Kope Elias case Is at last con-
cluded, and q report from the sub-com-
mittee, 70 which IL was referred by the
Finance Committee (Senator Jones, or
Arlxansas), will make a report early next
week While the nature OF the report
can only be conjectured there are strong
indications that n will be unfavorable 10
Mr.. Elias and will result In the rejection
OF his nomination by the Senate.
