PAPERS OR PRESIDENT.
Senators Listened to Some Vigorous Denun-
citation Saturday.

Washington, September 9.--In the SEN
! ate today, the resolution in reference to
| the refusal of the national banks of New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, to pay
| the checks ..of depositors in currency,
| which was offered yesterday by Mr..
PETER of Kansas, came up and its author
addressed the Senate on the subject.
The morning hour expired and, under
the rules, the resolution went to the
calendar, from which it can only be taken
by a motion and a majority vote.
The bill to repeal the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act was then laid before
| the Senate and Mr.. Teller of Colorado,
spoke in opposition. In the course OF
his remarks Mr.. Teller read Washington
| despatch to New York paper stating
the silver Democrats in the Senate were
at an end, that the administration in
sisted no unconditional surrender and
that Senator Vest was the angriest man
against the administration that could be
found and had threatened to join in
dealyingsaction.
Mr.. Vest thereupon said: "If there is
any ultimatum coming from the Presi-
dent of the United States it is not known
to myself nor to any of my associates.
However, much we may differ from the
President none of us have ever come to
the degrading conclusion that he will
send message to United States Senators
seeking to control their action.
Most of Mr.. Teller's speech was devoted
to a denunciation of the newspaper press
of the country, especially the metropoli-
tan part of it for its alleged impudence
and its mendacity. He treated President
Cleveland's telegram to Mr.. Wilson Of
West Virginia, congraJulating him and
his associates on the passage of the repeal
bill by the House, as an instance OF
newspaper falsehood and claimed, with
pretended Indignation, that the President
of the United States could never be
guilty of such gross breach of propriety.
