 WASHINGTON, Oct. I4.-It might have been expected that after a continuous ses- sion of 39 hours, and after the partial fail ure of the test of physical endurance on the silver purchase repeal bill, that meas ure would have been allowed to go over till next Monday and that the senate would have adjourned till then. Such was not the case, however.
 The senate met at the usual hour. took up the bill promptly, and submitted, wearied but patient, to the second install ment of Mir. Stewards speech. Not only did it do so, but it was a remarkable fact that there were several more senators present than there had been for some weeks past. The first roll calls showed the presence of 54 senators, the second of 5l and the third of ;. The fifth call showed the presence of 5T.
 Mir. Stewart announced his purpose not to vote for any bill that would limit the life of silver, and he was still talking at D. m, only interrupted by half hourly calls There was, indeed, one longer break in his speech, while Senators Teller and Hoar had an excited discussion over the rights of minorties.
 Mir Vest gave notice of an amendment to the bill. This amendment proposes the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act.
 Rest For Stewart.
 Mir Stewart once yielded the floor tenn pOrarily to Mir. Manderson, who offered resolution instructing the committee on Pacific railroads to investigate and report whether the Union Pacific Railroad com pany has passed into the hands nf re- ceiver, and if so, by what action and under what circumstances, and what steps. if any are necessary to protect the interests uf the United States and secure the indebtedness of the company to the governn,,.ut
 Mir. Brice, chairman of the r fife rail road committee said that he hal had dur ing the last few days consultations with the law officers of the goVcrument-thc at torney general aul solicitor general. He had called their attention to the immiurucy of a receivership for the Union Pacific aud to the necessity of protecting the inter, >t of the government, so that receivers Ccr- t1hcates for the payment of the floating debts of the company should not be issued to take precedence of the government lien. The attorney generals office and the su- hcitor generals office had had the matter under consideration, hu; there was an in sufhcienCy of legal force in their offices and there was an insufficient appropriation at their command to enable them to Cm- ploy outside counsel He suggested that the resolution lie over for the present
 Mir. Manderson presented a difficulty as to the right of the committee on Pacific railroads to authorize the employment ot counsel He added that he had learned by telegraph that Mir. $. A. H Clark, late president of the Union Pacific, had hean appointed receiver. After some further collOquy the resolution went over.
 Discussion of the McCreary RnI.
 The house resumed consideration of the MCCrtary bill to amend and modify the Geary Chinese registration and exclusion act after haNkfg agreed to vote on the measure and pending amendment at B o'clock Monday afternoon. The interven- ing time will be given to dehate. Mir Rayner was the irst speaker, He argued that the passage of the bill was an act of self evident justice,
 MT. Rayner made an impassioncd speech in favor of the bill, being finally interrupt ed by questions.l Heading to exciting colo Quies between himself and several Rcpub- licans.
 Mir. Sickles of New York followed Mir Rayner in a brief speech in support of the blll, anu htNbANd u StlN u A ulSNuSSlOI of the effects upon the interests of Amcri- can labor of the presence of the Chinese in this country. This cry of Chinese cheap labor" he said, ''as indicative of danger to American labor is all nonsense. The American laborer fears the competition of no foreign lahorcr.
 He raised laugh by saying ''I am glad that they don't drink whisky; that they don't join strikes nor assault other men | It.. |. f fered. Mir. SiCkles had read the follow ing proposed amendment:
 1'rnvidcd, That nothing contained in this act or in any act shall b, held or construed with China, but is in violation of tho provisions of all of them.
 Another proposition which Mir. Rayncr advanced was that every single Chinese person with respect to whom the Geary law proposed to legislate was legally donri ciled within the United states in accord ance with the terms of the laws and treaties by which they were invited to come to this country. If We are going tu exercise nat ural justice in this country" he said, ii we are going to maintain human rights, we must pass this bill
 MT. Rayner energetic and emphatic man ner attracted more attention to him than my previous speaker on the question had secured with the result that he was almost
 
 Mr. Ray of New York asked him if .he administration had done anything tu ' enforce the law.
 Mir Rayner-No, and rightfully SO
 Mir Ray-How rightfullyy
 Mir. Rayner's Criticism.
 MT. Rayner-Because from the fact that there was insufficient funds at its disposal for the enforcement of the law. At the earlier stage of the matter the law was be f Al IA. for consideration, and later, after it had been pronounced constitutional, there was A likelihood that it would be amended by congress-"
 In further discussion of this point Mir Rayner said: II am very particular ir criticiZing the judgment of any court, but 1 must say that, taking Justice Gray's declaration for the majority of the court in the light of the dissenting opinions o Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Field and Brewer, it is the most incomprehensi ble judgment ever rendered in this coun try"
 In the course of the questioning tG which he was subjected, Mr Rayner con tessed that he had signed the report il favor of the Geary law and had voted t. pass it. He explained that he had beer led to do this upon his faith in Mir. Geary as to the necessity of the law and its pro visions-a confidence that had been sadly shaken-and with the impression to hin at the time that the law was unconstitu sional.
 Mir. Cannon-N'asn an election pend mg9
