Mr.. Teller said Mr. Voorhecs had done
What had never before been done in the sen
ate An amendment that l. collateral 10 the
question before the senate vas 20 be voted
upon without notice, With great uumoeE Of
senators absent and good many others who
desired 10 speak. II he TELLER had not felt
1t was a fact that IL was unfair treatment, be
would not have cared whether the vote
taken tonight. The senator from Indiana
spoke as II there had been some unusual de-
lag. The senator sAs held IN terror by asen-
cies outside of the Senate
Mr.. voorhees, denied he had been unfair.
As for criticism Of himself he Intended
plainly, frankly and feariessly TO do his duty
as he undersiood It and take the conse-
quences.
After more discussion of this Kind Mr..
voorhees, withdrew his motion that the pend
I ing amendment be laid on the table and Mr..
Teller Withdrew his motion 70 adjourn.
Mr.. Teller said II the Senate was willing TO
go on tonight he was perfectly willing.
There would be found some one ready to de
bate the question until debate was exhausted.
II the Senate saw 1T to force night SESSIONS,
and there a majority there to do #, the
opponents OF repeal would be ready to debate
the question. He had the roll called because
he knew il was one OF the obstructive meas
ures, thank God. that we're left TO the minor
ity. He had made the motion to adjourn for
the same purpose. Did the man from Indi-
. ana and the people he represented suppose
that he could bulldoEe the American Senate
and violate Its traditions with impuuityi II
he did, he (Mr. Teller would tell him, hay-
ing had an experience In the Senate aniedat-
ing Mr.. VOORHEES,, that It never bad been
done and never could be done.
After further discussion Of the matter and
an unsuccessful attempt by Mr.. voorhees, TO
get the silver men to set a time for a vote,
Mr.. PETERS amendment, which provide. for
the free coinage of silver. The Senate re
mained In session until 1:i5.
HoUsE-The House to-day adopted an or
