In the Senate Mr.. Henderson (Neb., r in
troduced two bills which he said had been
prepared and sent to him by a gentleman Of
financial ability, and which were referred to
the Finance Committee. The titles are " Direct
ing the Purchase Of Silver Bullion and the
Issuance of Treasury Notes Therefor" and
a. For the Appointment of a Mint Commission,
providing for the issue OF Treasury notes, their
redemption, and for other purposes"
Mr.. Quay PA, T. offered a resolution
(which was agreed to- directing the Architect

A discussion as to the condition Of the public

in the passage Of bill appropriating $500, 900
for 3 building to be known as the Hall of

Notice was given by Mr.. voorhees,, Chairman
Of the Finance Com ittee, shat he would not
ask action to-day on the bill to sllsw National
banks to increase their eirsslstisn to the par
value Of the bonds deposited by them, but that
he would do so to-msrrew. Jhereupon an

Secretary of the Treasury to purchase from
time TO time silver bullion to the aggregate
amount OF $500 900 ounces, or so much thereof
as may be offered in each month, at the market
price thereof, not exceeding 81 for three hun
dred and seventy-one and twenty five one
hundredths grains of pure silver and to issue
in payment for such purchases Treasury notes

by, repealed.
"And it is hereby declared to be the policy
OF the United States to continue the use of both
gold and silver as standard money and to coin
both gold and silver into money of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value. such equality
TO he secured through international agreement
or by such safeguards of legislation as will in
sure the maintenance the parity in value OF the
coins of the two metals and the equal power OF
every dollar at all times in the markets and in
the payment of debts. And it is hereby further
declared that the efforts of the Government

TO do so, but Mr.. PETER Kan, p objected, and
the joint resolution went to the calendar.
The Lee Mantle case, involving the question
Of the right of Governors of States to appoint
Senators under certain circumstances, was then
taken up, and Mr.. Hunton va, d. addressed
the Senate in support of Mr.. Nantes right to
seat
There were only three speeches of any i'm
portance. One was by Mr.. Lodge Mass, r.
making an earnest appeal to the Senate for
prompt action on a bill to repeal the purchasing
clauses Of the Sherman act.
Another was by the junior Senator from
Colorado, Mr. Wolcott, who contended that
although the Sherman act was vicious and
Illogical, it had nothing to do with the fnan-
cial crisis, and its repeal would do no good
and might do harm.
The third was by Senator Hoar, and was
temperate discussion of the whole financial
question, with decided leaning toward BIZ
metalism.
At tie close Of Mr.. Hoar's speech a discussion
started as to the old question of responsibility
for the decentralization Of silver and was car
ried on for some time by Senators Stewart,
Cockrell. Aldrich, HOar, and Sherman.
