little rest and breakfast The sill
verites scorned the suggestion declar-
ing that If test had to be made it
must be made in every sense of the
word
The elder Senators were more quick
to respond to the calls. than the younger
ones Palmer of Illinois, and Sherman,
of Ohio, seemed fresh and vigorous as
ever at daylight
At 9 o'clock there was a goodlY at
tendance OF Senators.
Mr. Voorhees, moved that the PETER
amendment be laid on the table. There
was no quorum, but the vote was; Yeas,
30; nays, 81.
Call was ordered and forty-five
Senators responded. Mr.. Villas Dem.
Wis., called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Dubois was present. but refused to
vote. In excuse Mr.. Dubois said that
debate on an important amendment-the
PETER amendment-had been cut of and
he did not propose to vote If such was
the rule.
Dubois Suddenly Becomes stubborn.
The President submitted Mr.
Dubois's excuse to the Senate, but the
Senate decided it was not a good one by
vote of 80 nays to 81 yeas. The Sena.
tors name was called and be still re.
fused to vote. Debate on the right of the
Senate to act in the matter was started
by Henderson (Rep, Neb but was cut
off by point of order and the vote on
laying the PETER amendment on the
table was taken.

the amendment was laid on the table.

/ PETER, Vest, Walthall-17.
There were no other amendments tC

Mr.. PETER then addressed the Senat,
in opposition to repeal.
The Defeated PETER Amendment.
The PETER amendment which was de-
feated is a complete free coinage measure
for both gold and silver.
Threatens to Blow Up Stewart.
Mr.. Stewart read the following lette
dated Baltimore, Oct II:
"You are now warned not to put you
feet on the toilers' neck although yol
have him down for there might b.
something drop between your feet.
(Here is a rude picture of an exploding
bomb chat will surely explode TAX,
warning by one who knows. Joseph G
s Blackburn will also take warning.
Up. s. This is no anarchist talk, an
an American born"
Mr.. Stewart read the letter with
flourish, but it did not create a senss
tion.
Mr.. Hoar said he and Mr. Sherman hal
received similar threatening notes from
the West, but the reading of them did
no good. Mr. Stewart said the note was
similar in tone to that of the New Yorl
Press and he read it because of tina
fact.
Mr.. PETERS speech was confined to
great extent attacks on the New Yorl
bankers or Gold -blooded Shylocks" a
he called them. ''The panic" he said
twas the deliberate work of bold an
criminal conspirators. There was u
signs of weakening on either side up
l o'clock to day.
The factional lines have been draw
closer as a result of the nights strugs Il
The status of every man on the repei
question is pretty well defined at last an
in the light of last nights revelation
twenty-five Senators can be counted q
, with repealers and abstructionists 8
every step, and seventeen as anti repeal
ers, but opposed to 6libustering. I'll
rest favor unconditional repeal thoug
favoring silver legislation later.
