Till Daylight Rut He Was Afraid OF Wear
ing Out HiH Audience
WASHINGTON, d. c., September 2S.-
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Teller, calling for information as to the
anticipation Of interest on government
bonds since 1850, was taken up In the
Senate to-day. II there was no obiec-
tiUn 20 il, Mr.. Teller said, be would like
TO debate IL.
Mr.. VOORHEES, (Dem., Indiana said a
literal compliance with the resolution
would involve great labor. He asked
Mr.. Teller 10 define the scope OF that
part Of the resolution asking "under
what circumstances' Interest had been
anticipated which was the Objectionable
part OF the resolution.
Mr.. Teller replied that the new ad-
% minlstration had been Installed largely
because its party had found fault with
the financial policy of the Republican
party, and be assumed that 1t meant a
radical revision aud reconstruction Of
the final policy Of the country.
Mr. PIatt, (Rep., Connecticut,) asked
Mr.. Teller whether he had heard from
anybody authorized to speak for the adj
miuistration, any suggestion OF policy
TO be inaugurated by the administra-
tion different from the financial policy
which had prevailed.
Mr. Teller said perhaps he had, but
be did not suppose he assumed too much
when be assumed that in the four years
OF the Democratic administration the
administration would approach the sub
iect aud deal with il. He did not see
how that party could 90 into the next
campaign and ask the support OF the
people unless it dealt with the moneta-
~ question, and the repeal Of the Sher-
mao act was not dealing with 1t.
Referring to resolutions Of inquiry,
Mr.. Teller expressed bis amazement
that Republican Senators should tie
their hands by voting against resolu-
tious which were proper, and called for
information. which had never been de-
MED the minority during the Repuou-
can administration. There was an at
tempt now to refer such resolutions to
the committee on finance, aud it was
we'll known that the interest OF the
dominant party would be best subserVed
by their remaining there. The resolu-
tiOu was then adopted.
The repeal Oill was taken up at l
o'clock. Mr.. HOar, (Rep., Massachu-
Setts,) sent up TO the desk and had read
an editorial from the Peoria, ILL.,, Jour-
pQl in relation 10 the controversy rea-
tive to the part taken by Mr.. Ernest
Seyd, of England, TO the egislatiOn OF
1878. The Journal printed what pur-
ported TO DO a quotation from Mr.
Hooper's speech in the House OF Rep
resentatives to contradict the letter OF
Mr.. Seyd's son. In this quotation the
words referring TO Mr.. Seyd, who is
now here" were attributed to Mr..
Hooper. Mr.. HOar had that part OF
Mr. Hooper's speech read from the
C0nqreSSiOudL Record, In which the
words ''who is now here" did not ap-
pear. These words, said Mr.. Hoar, are
a deliberate, vile, audacious, unscrupu-
louS aDd infamous forgery.
Mr.. Cullom rep, Illinois) knew the
editor Of the Peoria Journal (Mr.
Barnes), and while be was astonished
at the misQuOtatiOn be was sure Mr..
Barnes was not personally responsible
for the forgery in the sense OF having
committed il or being cognizant OF 1t,
The debate continued for more than
an hour aud then Mr.. PETER addressed
the Senate. He sent TO the desk and
had read the letter OF the President to
Governor Northen, uof Georgia. The
letter did not dissipate, said Mr.. PETER,
the confusion in the public mind as to
the Presidents real opinions on the
monetary question. he might be a
monometallist, he might be a bi-metal-
list, but there was nothing IN the Presi-
dents letter to show what kind OF a
metallist he was.
Mr.. PETER at $40 reached what he
denominated the subject OF "parities."
Then he paused aud said that while be
was willing 10 continue with bis speech
this evening aud TO address the Senate
tin sunrise tO-morrO@ morning, he did
not desire to exhaust the patience OF
the Senators by asking Senators TO re-
main longer than they wished to.
Mr. Harris thereuDOn moved an exec
utive session, after which the Senate
adjourned.
