the fact of senators being stockholders
In national banks. Mr.. Hill bitterly
opposed the resolution, as being un-
necessary, unprecented and
gross reflection upon the Senate. The
resolution went over. The bill for the
repeal Of the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman law was taken up and Mr..
Pugh of Alabama, member Of the
finance committee, made q two and
one-half hour speech against it, de-
claring at the close that it was the de-
termined and unalteraDle purpose of
the opponents Of repeal to oppose it
until their physical strength was ex-
hausted and their power of speech
gone. The remainder Of the session
was occupied In a continuation Of Mr..
Teller's Speech against the bill.

the resolution had to go over. After

still somewhat improved today, still
there was literally nothing done. II
