other Affairs at the National Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Silt is not un-
likely that the Senate will have test
vote to day on the Voorhees, motion to
displace The pending national bank bill
by the amended Wilson repeal bill.
These bills are equally Objectionable in
the eyes Of the silver Senators but the
latter will probably try to keep the
former bill in its place, so as to delay
action on the silver bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Both houses of
Congress were in session yesterday and
adjourned until to-day.
In the Senate Mr. Sherman made a
two hours speech in favor Of the repeal
of the silver purchasing clause of his
bill passed in 1890.
Mr.. Henderson presented a memorial
from all the national banks of Omaha,
Neb., for the immediate passage of the
repeal bill. Citizens of st. Joseph, No,
sent a similar memorial.
Mr.. Call presented joint resolutions Of
the Legisl ature of Florida asking for an
inves tigation by order of Congress of the
United States Circuit Court in that
rfata hv Judoa gwovpa
In the House Representative Talbot,
of Maryland, asked unanimous consent
to introduce a bill repeating the Federal
election laws, but Mr.. Dingley, of Maine,
objected.
The discussion of the proposed rules
Of the House was continued, during
which Representative Henderson. of
Iowa, Republican, made strong parti
san speech.
No Rest for Congress; Tariff Next.
WAsHIEeToN. Aug. 31.-It may be
positively stated that Congress will not
take a recess until the regular December
session after disposing of the sil'er bill
That question was settled yesterday by
Secretary Carlisle, who visited the Capt.
tol and quietly interrogated several
Senators and members of the House, and
after free exchange Of views he ar
rived at the conclusion that it would
not be advisable to permit Congress to
adjourn.
This conclusion was reached in def
ance, almost, of his own views, because,
consulting his convenience, the Secre-
tary had believed that a tariff bill could
n.
gress away from Washington. His
whole time is occupied during the day
by visits from Senators and Representa-
tives, and he thought that he did not
have a single moment to devote to the
consideration Of the tariff question and
to the formulation Of such information
as might be required by the ways and
means committee of the House in the
preparation of their bill.
It will be no surprising news If Sec
retary Carlisle denies himself to all
callers for the next month. SO that he
may devote his entire time in assisting
the Ways and Means Committee in their
arduous task.
A week ago 1t was given out that the
administration desired an adjournment
of Congress Immediately upon the set
Element Of the silver problem. There
was apparently an effort to bring about
this result. but when poll Of the mem.
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
Of the House and of the Finance Com
mittee Of the Senate was made the fact
was discovered that the sincere friends
of the administration favored a continu.
GUS session.
WolcOtt's Ringing Talk.
Senator Wolcott. Of Colorado as an
nounced beforehand, addressed the Sen
ate to day on the silver question. H'
first said that he considered It unfortu
nate that the existing financial psni
was unaccompanied by the wide sprea'
religious revival which invariably, il wa
said, followed panics.
The ready and complete change o
heart, however, on the financial ques
tion which had been witnessed in th
Senate chamber, gave evidence that
was a time when men were especiall
open to conviction and If the admins
tration with its petty spoils and patron
age had been able to make so man
converts, what might we not hope whe
the assurances Of future happines
would be not for four short years, bu
for eternity.
Administration Conversion First.
The misfortune under which th
silver men suffered was ths
the administration conversion cam
first, for II the hearts of Sen ators ha
first been impressed with the littlenes
of things of the world and the glory q
things eternal, the people who were
be the sufferers. would not have bee
deserted by their representatives exceE
as patronage might be used to affsc
Congress.
The speaker said the aiministrati o
was not TO be criticized. Presider
