WASHINGTON. Feb G. 1893.

the Bankruptcy bill all failed to obtain
consideration.
The Senate. however. does have the
stamina 10 come up and vote either for
or against a measure. while the entire day
in the House was foolishly wasted in
nlibustering motions that were not in
tended nor considered as being for any
other purpose than TO tide over suspen-
sion day without reaching these measures.
Senator Hill called up in the Senate
his bill TO repeal the Sherman Silver
Purchase law, as he had previously given
notice. He made a speech in favor of his
bill, which. although not yet printed is
being generally characterized as weak and
uncertain in tone. lie pays his compl-
ments 10 the President-elect and the
Mugwump element. The Senate refused
10 take up the bill
In the House Mr.. Kilgore, of Texas
opened up the day with a motion to ad-
touin. which at once brought Mr.. Hatch
with his Anti-Option bin TO the floor.
DilatOry motions followed, tellers were
succeeded by ~oll-calls. and the roll-calls
OF the House completed the hours of
wasted time.
The very unusual purported eulogy Of
Senator Ilill upon the late Senator Bar
bour is still the subject OF much COM
nent here. and threatens to produce rs
many letters as did the remarks Of Mr.
George Fred. Williams in his Richmond
speech. The intimate friends OF the dis
tingushed Senator from Virginia question
seriously the statement made by Senator
Hin as 10 the feeling OF Senator Barbour
toward the candidacy of Mr.. Hill. In
conversation with one OF them to-day
I'LL .
bour up 10 almost the hour of his death.
he said: II have heard Senator Barbour
say a great many times, and. in fact, the
very day before his death he said that
he did not believe that Mr.. Hill should
De nominated. but also was opposed to the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland"
Senator German was unQuestionably the
favored candidate of Mr. Barbour
The rampant speech Of Mr. Hill is
being compared with the "eulogy' of
Mr.. Watson upon the late Representative
Stahlnecker. in which he took occasion
10 expatiate upon the Third party its
principles. candidates and personal disap-
pointments. This eulogy business is grow
ing 20 be a fine hook upon which dis
iinguished patriots are prone to hang all
81 the red mantles I'm their political ward
robes. only one thing in the entire affair
remains to show the foresight and sa-
gacity of Senator Hin, and that vas his
carefully typewriter laudation Of The
speech Of Senator Daniel, which had been
delivered two minutes before; but all Of
us from Virginia knew that Senator Dan
iel was going TO make a beautiful speech.
Colonel O'Ferrall has returned from
New York where II is said. he called
upon Mr.. Cleveland Last week when
Hon Don Dickinson was here and in
conference with Colonel OFerrall ] asked
him If Mr.. DickinsOns visit meant a
trip 10 New York for him. lie told me
that IL did not and that he did not ex-
pect TO go; therefore, il cannot be con
strued that Colonel OFerTall was called
20 the Mills building. as was Hon. w.
l.. Wilson. TO discuss the possibilities OF
silver legislation in the House. but IT
Is said that he was in New York on pri-
vate business with Judge Keith, Of War
renton.
The following interview with Colonel
O'Ferrall was copied in the morning
papers here. / sent into the House this
morning TO ask him as to its correctness,
but he sent word that he was busy and
a few moments afterward left the Capitol
for the day, as | was afterwards inform
cd, TO meet his family at the arrival OF
the morning train.
Congressman OFerrall was in New
York Saturday and called upon Mr.. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Q Ferrall has long been re-
t6iASa as Il Sti1HB litt-SitNtf advocate.
lie said on this question:
Il am not so rabid for free coinage
When l was reelected two years ago my
constituents instructed me TO vote for free
coinage. and did So But since that time
q decided revolution has taken place in
the sentiment of the people in my dis
trict. They thought two years ago that
free silver would be the way TO relieve
the monetary situation but now they have
Rsfa
Ject They want a good dollar now, and
they are not anxious for free coinage.
In other sections Of the South the senti- |
ment IN favor of free silver has changed"

Cleveland does not change his views, in
the calling Of an extra session Of Congress
