eeedings Of the house will hardly resume
animation before tho beginning OF next
week. The silver debate was resumed and
Daniels. republican, Of New York spoke
In favor Of tho repeal Of the purchasing
clause OF the Sherman act. Congress, no
said, should intervene to give some meas
ure OF relief to the people by changing
the financial policy. For tho past II yoars
the accumulation Of silver has bsen going
ON. Instead of silver going into circuia-
ton II has gone into tho treasury, ana
there II remained as a useless article. so
far as tho currency was concerned the
people had become confident that tho law
Of 1850 should be repealed.
Cooper, democrat. of Florida. said he
would vote for the Wilson bill and against
each and every one Of tho propositions
presented by tho silver men. He argued
that tho Sherman law was tho cause OF
the present depression. Goldzier, demo-
crat, Of Illinois. spoke in favor of tho re-
peal Of the sherman bill. At the conclu-
sion OF Goldzier's remarks, woadock OF
Michigan announced the dea tn OF his
colieace, ]. Logan Chapman, and formal
resolutions were agreed To. The speaker
appointed q committee TO take action In

ute OF respect to tho memory Ut the dead,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE meeting OF
tho senate finance committee to-day was
attended by evory member aud the con-
ciusions wore reached which may enable
tho committee to report tho repeal bill to-
morrow. There has been from the day
tho committee first met Q difference Of
opinion between the silver aud anti-silver
men that apparently could not he recon-
ciiod, and although thore has bsen o very
free discussion Of tho matter, these differ
ences are no nearer settlement than when
the conferences began. Tho attitude OF
Chairman Voorhees,, to-day, however,
gave the silver men on the COMMITTEES but
little hope, for he said he would vote to
report favorab!y q repeal bill, provided
there was q declaration coupled with It
declaring for bimetallism. The bill when
reported will contain such q declaration,
aud the vote by which 1t will be reported
is estimated by the members of the COM
mittee at to 5. tho minority consisting
OF Harris, Vest, Vance, Jones Of Arkansas,
and Jones Of Nevada.
When the committee adjourned all had
been substantially agreed upon but the
verbiage of the bill. Al the meeting to-
day draft of the declaration for bimet-
allism was submitted, which favors the
continuance of tho use Of both gold and
silver, to tho extent of the existing coin
age, as an unlimited legal tender and de-
clarcs all our forms of money, whether
gold, silver or paper. should be maintained
at parity and equal in purchasing power.

shall bo put forth to secure an interna-
tional agreement for tho adoption Of .
