WASHINGTON, Sept le.-Mr. II. @.
Mills of Texas. who Is expected to ad-
dress the Senate to-day, is certain to
command attention for several reasons.
In the first place his position is
peculiar. in that. coming from State
where the President has been burned
in offigy because of his views upon the
subject of silver. he will take his place
on the Administration platform and
argue for unconditional repeal.
In the second place, Mr.. Mills Is an
extremely earnest and energetic
speaker and does not read his speeches
and therefore Is able to avoid monotony
by proper emphasis
There Is some expectation that Mr.
Voorhees, will this afternoon take an
other step looking to a curtailment OF
the apparently endless discussion. per.

hours OF the daily sessions of the Senate
