Voorhees, Denies the Truth of Dispatch
Published in "a Philadelphia Paper.


WAsHINGToN,, Feb. 2l.-After the
routine morning business Of the Senate
in which the presentation of remon
sJrances against the Wilson bill was the
only thing noticeable, Allen (Pop ;,
Neb.), offered a resolution calling on
the Attorney General for a statement as
to whether he had recently given to the
Secretary OF the Treasury an official
opinion that silver certificates were not
lawful money, and for a copy Of such
opinion, and all correspondence on the
subjeci. With q slight verbal modif-
cation the resolution was agreed to.
Voorhees,, chairman OF the finance
committee, rose to question OF per
sonal privilege and sent to the clerks
desk and had read a Washington dis
patch to the Philadelphia Press, con-
tanning statement as to Democratic
members of the committee waiting on
President Cleveland at the White House
and receiving instructions as to his
desires on the subject Of certain pro.
visions OF the bill
After the dispatch was read, Voorhees,
said: The value Of that dispatch from

that there is not the slightest, faintest
trace of truth in single word or syl-
liable in it.

After prayer and the reading of the
journal, Reed suggested that a report
was in order from tho sergeant-at arms
respecting his action under the order to
arrest absentees, SO that the House
might know how the poll stood. Colonel
Snow thereupon reported that all alb

Reed-"I should like to ask why?

Snow-"Mr. Speaker, l would like

House?"
The Speaker-"The sergeant at arms
is expected to execute the warrants pre-
sented to him."
The sergeant-at-arms retired to
carry out his instructions and the com.

the list had been concluded Bland
asked unanimous consent that mem
oefs under arrest be excused without
being brought before the bar of the
House.
Mr.. Ret dr. shall have to object.
Our members were paraded here in

The sergeant at arms not being ready
to report Bland moved TO go into com
the seignorage OF the Treasury silver

the previous question.
The rest of the day was devoted to
filibustering and roll calling and as
nothing could be accomplished Bland
moved that the House adjourn, hut
Talbot moved to adjourn over TO mor
row, Washington's birthday. This
evoked passionate declaration from
Bland that until the Democratic party
could provide quorum to do business
it should not frister away it's time on
holidays.
He then made the point that in the
absence of a quorum a motion to ad journ
over day was not in order, which
point the Speaker sustained. and put
