SENATE AND HOUSE.
Teller and George on the seisniorage
Bill-Kivers and Harbors.

WASHINGTON, u. c., March IA
After the routine morning business, the
Senate, at 1890. resumed consideration OF
the Bland seigniorase bill. Mr.. Dolph
stated that as objection had been with
drawn to the printing of the extracts
which he had referred 10 in his speech
yesterday. he would consider that speech
as ended Then Mr. Teller addressed the
Senate I'm support Of the bill.
He denied the assumption OF Mr. Sher-
man and other senator's who had argued
against the bill that the act Of 1890 left
the coinage OF silver 10 the discretion or
the Secretary of the Treasury. and he
declared that the act was mandatory, ana
that under 1t the Secretary should CON
as many silver dolllrs as he had issued
Treasury notes. If slj5,000,00 of Treasury
notes had been issued then l55,OO0.Ot0 OF
silver dollars should be coined for the re-
demption of the Treasury notes
He claimed that the difference between
the purchase price Of silver bullion ana
its mint-value should be put into money
and used for current expenses, because
the act declared that the seignioraSe
should be turned into the Treasury; ana
he also argued that the proper execution
OF the law required that there should De
for every dollar Of Treasury notes sh-
YER dollar lying in the Treasury READY 10
be paid out to the man who demanded II
In exchange for Treasury notes.
NO HOARD or SILVER.
There were one or two other points In
Mr.. Sherman's speech which he desired
TO contradict one OF them was the state
ment that there was hoard or S5i'OOV'"c
OF silver dollars lying idle in the Irea-
sury. "There is no hoard OF that kind IN
the Treasury" Mr.. Teller asserted Win
emphasis "The statement Is an untruth.
Mr. Sherman spoke Of 1t as an idle hoaru'
There is no idle money In the treasury
OF the United States. There has peen no
idle silver money in the Treasury except
that which lies behind the Treasury notes
10 the extent of $S5,OOo.O0O The state
ment made here by member OF the
Committee on Finance (Alr. Sherman) ana
sent broadcast TO the world that we have
a hoard OF SsSi. 600 Oco OF idle silver money
in the Treasury Is unworthy place IN
this Senate. Ii Is absolutely untrue. and
is known to be untrue by every member
Of this body.
And vet, this is the kind OF food that
Is fed to the people by those VINO put
this country on the gold-standard; ana
who are not satisfied with having de-
stroyed the industries OF the country pu'
are now attempting to disgrace US as
senator's by showing that We are support,
ing a bill Infamous In its character anu
by misrepresenting the facts TO the peo-
ple of the world" This debate had been
most unfair. as debate has always been
on the part OF the men who advocate the
gold d-standard. 1t has been unfair ~
many respects. II Is unfair. or else u

A Miraculous Escape.

Owen Ellis had fall of 170 feet in the
shaft Of the Denver Coal Company's mine at
Tindale, near Golden, Friday morning, and
still lives to tell the story. Wha: Is more re-
markablc is the fact that his health seems
but little the worse for this exciting expert
encc. A few bruises apparently represent the
sum total OF all the injuries. Mr.. Ellis was
employed around the mouth OF the shaft,
which is divided into three compartments,
two Of which arc partially covered over. In
looking into the main shaft to watch the
hoisting of the cage, he slipped upon board
covering one of the other compartments. The
board gave way and Mr.. Ellis went with It,.
His first stop was on q muddy platform 170
feet below. whero he arrived without once
touching the sides Of the shaft.
A few weeks since J. w. Secrlst fell 100
feet in the same shaft and was almost instant
ly killed. That Ellis should fall forty feet
more than this and yet escape serious injury
may be regarded as almost n miracle
