WASHINGTON, March 15.-The last
day OF the debate on the Band saignl-
orage bill attracted large crowd to the
senate today. and the galleries were
well filled. The first part of the day
was taken uD by the transaction of some
routine morning business aud by the
speeches of Senator's Carey, Palmer,
Dubois, Mltchall (Or.) AMI Pettigrew.
At o'clock Senator Harris asked that
the pill be put upon its final passage in
accordance with the agreement arrived
at several days ago. the yeas and nays
being demanded. the bill was passed by
vote of II to 81. The senate also
passed several bills OF minor Importance
and at rs went into executive session
and passed upon large numoer OF
nominations. The Band seigniOrage
bill was taken up by the senate and
Mr.. Carey. of Wyoming, concluded his
argument, begun before adjournment
yesterday. He was followed by Mr.
Dubois, of Id ,ho.
Mr.. Dubois said he had hoped that
when the sherman law was repealed
congress would stop all pecemeal leg
iSlation. He declared that he took little
stock in all suggestions that the position
OF silver should be determined by inter
national monetary conferences, because
all such agreements would be i'll the
interest of foreign nations. and not i'll
our interest. He believed tnat senti-
ment favorable TO silver was
GROWING RAPIDLY
in this country, ana he feared that this
Legislation might have a tendency to
check that sentiment. Mr.. Higgins
(Rep.. Del.) said thai. as he understood
the Sherman law, it directed the secre-
tary of the treasury to coin as much as
might be necessary TO redeem the notes
issued for purchase of the bullion.
Not at ALL nothing OF the kind" re-
torJed Mr. Mitchell. "tlle whole theory
OF this act was that the bullion
should be treated as money metal and
not as Il commodity" Mr.. Allison asked
if the secretary of the treasury, under
the second section of the act, should re-
deem the treasury notes in gold coin.
how could the silver certificates be
issued Mr. Mitchell said they would
be issued whenever the notes were re.
deemed in silver. That Is to say" said
! MIR. Allison. interro9atiyely, "unless the
J secretary OF the treasury should redeem
these notes in silver coin, the silver
certificates could not be issued" Il
! have not time to be lnterrOgated
! further" said Alr. Mitchell, ''but want
10 say this: That when it was the duty
of the secretary OF tile treasury, under
/ the Sherman act, TO so maintain
the parity betwcen silver and
! gold that in exercising his
/ discretion to redeem the notes
! in silver instead of gold, he took a
j course which did not have tendency
| to sustain the parity, but just the re-
! VERSE. 1t was 4 discrimination against
| silver, ant any policy which diScrim-
| mates against one cOlu or metal in favor
| of another coin or another metal can
! not have tendency to maintain the
parity" He referred to the false
| prophets who had foretold an era of
| prosperity when
THE PURCHASING CLAUSE
i of the Sherman law should be repealed.
at which Mr.. Hawey Comm appeared
to take umbrage, for he hastened 10
deny that he had ever maintained that
the Sherman law was responsible for
all the evils of the times. Mr.. Harris
inquired whether The senator from Con-
necticut repl eSepted all those who voted
for the repeal of the law. or whether he
spoke merely for himself. Alr. Hawley
replied that-he represented a very large
number of those who voted with him.
At O'Clock the senate passed the
Seigniorage bill. The following is the
detailed vote:
