WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-The Senate re-
asse bled, in continuation of the legis.
lative session of Tuesday of last week,
at IL o'clock this morning, and although
there was evidently no quorum present
no notice was taken of the fact, and for
the first time in week or longer bust.
ness went on without roll call. The
silver purchase repeal bill was taken up
and Pugh addressed the Senate in oppo-
sition to it.
He expressed his belief that nine
tenths OF the Senators favorinp il did
not desire either free coinage or any
degree OF silver coinage, and that Presi-.
dent Cleveland did not desire it. He,
spoke of the compromise which had
been gotten up by the Democratic
senators and said that that compromise
would have had the support of forty-
three Democratic Senators had not
President Cleveland interposed, and
demanded unconditional repeal at ali
hazards. He was satisfied that ali
efforts at compromise had failed only
on account Of Presidents Cleveland and
his Secretary Of the Treasury, whose
Will had been as potential and had
served the same purpose as the cloture
rule.
Stewart followed Pugh in continue
ton OF his speech begun several weeks
ago against the repeal bill.
A roll call suggested by Allen ct 2:4O
resulted in gathering in flfty-four Sena-
tors, and then Stewart read paper and
went on with his speech.
Stewart yielded the floor to Jones
(Nev.l, who resumed the speech. begun
by him some weeks ago, by preliminary
statement that the speeches that were
being made by the opponents of the bill
were not made in tho hope of changing
the vote OF any Senator, but because they
believed in the truth of their cause and
wero determined to present before the
people of the United States the basic
reasons which were at the found alton of
the question.
At the close of Jones' speech the SEN
ate at 4:45, on motion of Faulkner, pro.
ceeded to executive business and soon
afterwards took recess until IL o'clock
to morrow.
IN THE HOUSE.
The proceedings in the House to-day
were neither interesting or important.
In the morning hour McRae, of A rkansas.
endeavored to secure action upon the
Dill for the protection of public forest
reservations, but no quorum was present
ana none could be secured before morn
ing hour had expired and the bill went
over upon motion of Oates. The House
went into the committee of the whole
Tor the consideration of the bankruptcy
bill.
Lane Dem, ILL., addressed the House
against tho bill. Coombs defended the
proposed law COMBS was followed by
kilgore, who opposed the bill. He did
not believe it necessary, he said, to pass
any bill of this kind, but he would not
have such grave objections against a
voluntary bankruptcy law, instead OF
the involuntary law proposed.
AT 4:55, on motion OF Oates, the oom-
mittee rose and the House adjourned.

Another Good Sale.


Another sale Of coal lands was concluded
yesterday in Somerset county which will
have an important bearing upon the devel-
opments in that region. This wss the trans
fer OF tract Of 80 acres along the line Of
the B. & O. Railroad. which was sold for a
cash figure sggregating $4,000.
The lands in question were purchased by
John J. Mcdonnell. John Itel. and Lawrence
SymendeDger, Of Portage, several years sgo,
and we're purchased outright. Several Offers
had recently been made on the coal. bat the
gentlemen refused unless they disposed Of
their interests outright. which they have
now done. The lands were purchased BY
the Berwind White Coal CompEny. and the
money was pail for them yesterday, the ad
vance over the purchase price netting a
handsome profit.
This purchase by the Berwind White peo-
pie indicstes that they intend TO make eKten-
siye developments in that region. These
lands lie close to the Holsopp,e tracts, about
which there is some dispute, claim TO hold
then by agreement being made by the Ber-
wind White Company, notwithstanding the
fact that the Thomases Of this city have paid
part on the Iani as heretofore noted. All
