Mr.. voorhees, gave notice that the bill
to increase the circulation of national
banks to par value OF bonds would
not be called up. Mr.. Cockren offered
an amendment authorizing the secre-
tary to redeem such two per cent.
bonds as may be presented for redemp-
ton and pay for them in legal tender
notes. A discussion followed between
Messrs. Sherman and Cockrel. Mr.
Berry then addressed the senate in ad-
yocacy of a double standard.
Allan gave notice of an amendment
to the national bank circulation bill
to the effect that interest shall cease
on bonds on which additional circula-
ton will be based.
The Lodge resolution was taken up,
with the Gallinger amendment to it to
the effect that it would be unwise and
inexpedient to make any radical change
in tariff prior to March, 1897, and Gal
inger addressed the senate. He de-
clared himself ready to vote at the
earliest possible moment for the repeal
of the Sherman law, though he did not
believe that law was largely responsible
for the existing financial evil.
At the close of Gallinger's remarks
the senate adjourned.
In the house today, after adopting a
resolution calling on the secretary Of
the treasury for information respecting
silver purchases the debate on the sill
yer bill was resumed, Mr.. Mccall of
Massachusetts, speaking for the bill.
Mr.. Mccall was followed by Mr..
Coombs, of New York, who spoke for
the repeal of the purchase clause.
William J. Bryan added greater laur-
els to his reputation as an orator and
made a free-coinage speech which, in
the opinion of many, surpassed his
great tariff speech.
Henderson, of Iowa, said the most
encouraging thing that could reach the
people of the United States were those
cries of ''vote, vote" The people ex-
pect an early action. He would be
glad to come to vote at once.
Moses, of Georgia, spoke against re-
peal and opposed the proposition to
raise the standard
The house then adjourned.
