work for them unless they consented to do
so under different system and a new

SENATOR MoRGAN's PROTEST.

Senate Has No Jurisdiction over the Al
legged Alabama Election Frands Case.
A digni1ed. but emphatic written protest
was read to the Senate yesterday by Senator
Morgan. OF Alabama. 1t was directed against
Senator Allen and was submitted when he
had concluded his speech upon the alleged
election frauds in Alabama.
The protest objected to interference with the
Alabama election by the United States Senate,
declaring that the attack made by Mr.. Allen
was that OF a man utterly stranger to the
people, the customs and the government of
that State. and urging that the Senate is
without jurisdiction. He said the matter
never should have marred the records OF the
senate.
Though the post-oflce appropriation bill

aside. After short executive session the

Unrestricted Coinage Bill Re-
ported by the Committee.
REPUBLICANS ARE NEUTRAL
They Will Not Oppose the Bill, but Will
Thoroughly Debate It-Wiliing to Let the
Democrats Make the Experiment Alone
Leaders Have Not Yet Decided Whether
or Not to Press the Bill This Session.

Republican Senators generally are not dis
posed at this time to attempt to prevent the
passage OF the unrestricted coinage bill re-
ported from the Finance Committee yester-
day.
When as ed what policy they would pursue,
Senator Aldrich said:
I'VE would probably not oppose the bill to
the extent OF trying 10 consume time to pre-
vent its passage, though we should, of course,
want to debate it at some length Tor the pur-
pose Of placing the matter before the country
intelligently."
Senator Platt corroborated this statement
and added that ne for one should not feel
disposed to prevent action by the Senate on
financial bill. ''If the Democrats want to
take the responsibility for passing such
bill as that reported, said he. ~ am willing
hey should"
The Democratic leaders have not yet de-
cided whether they will press the bill this
session.
Early in the day the Finance Committee
met. and by vote OF TO decided to report
the measure for the unrestricted coinage OF
silver on the basis of the provisions of the
ninth section OF the finance bill reported by

The vote on the motion 10 report this sec
ton as amended was rs follows: Yeas--Yoor
hees. Harris, Vest. Jones of Arkansas Jones

! after the suggestion for such a report was
made, and il soon became apparent that
| there was an understanding among members
of the majority of tho committee as TO the
line of action 10 be pursued. and they alter
ward stated that they had held IL conference,
publican members offered no substitute, and
| put no distractions in the way of securing a
| vote.
