DEBATE ENDED
Everybody Talked Against the
Currency Bill,
And There Was Nobody Willing
to Defend It.
MIR. BLAND SPEAKS.
Appealed to the Masses to Reor-
ganize Democratic Party.

WASHINGTON, Jan 9. - Yesterday
was the last day of the general de-
bate on the currency bill in the
house and the opponents of the meas
ure had their innings. All the speak
ers, except Mr.. Cox of Tennessee. OPP
posed it. The feature of the day was
Mr.. Sibley's Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania) speech, who attacked the
president and arraigned the Demo
cratic party generally for drifting
away from its traditional mornings.
His speech created much confusion
and good deal of a sensation. Mr..
Tom Johnson of Ohio also created
stir by affirming the proposition that
the bill either created a monopoly to
issue the legal tender money of the
country or was failure which would
give dishonest bankers under the law
an opportunity to defraud the gov
eminent. Mr.. Bland of Missouri made
an earnest speech against the bill
from the standpoint of free silver.
The other speakers were Messrs.
Beltzhoover of Pennsylvania, w. A.
Stone of Pennsylvania, Morse of
Massachusetts and Coffeen of WyO-
ming.
Mr. Bland, the leader of the silver
Democrats of the house, spoke with
great feeling. The bill, he declared,
was an attempt to temporize with
great issue. He called attention to
the Democratic platform of 1892 the
pledge to settle this financial ques-
ton on the lines of bimetalism. Step
by step he traced the course of those
who he alleged were carrying out a
conspiracy-frst, the repeal of the
silver purchase law and now the con-
summation of their plans. Mr.. Bland
predicted that if this bill became a
law that the greenbacks would dis
appear, and, to secure the gold
standard, silver would be entirely
eliminated. In conclusion, he pro-
tested against the bill in the name of
OF TRACED Democracy Neither this
house nor this administration is the
Democratic party" said he. land

MR.. INGALLS, TALKS.
Not a Candidate for Senator, But Would
Accept If Elected.

Accept II Elected
SEDALIA, Mo-, Jan. 9.-Ex- nator
John j. Ingalls,, who 1ectured here
last night authorized the publication
of the following interview: 81 am not
a candidate for the United States SEN
atorship. 1 will not raise my hand
to secure it, but what is to be will be,
and no man will throw away a United
States senatorship.'
Continuing he said: 81 don't believe
that the present congress will pass a
currency bill, and for this reason
President Cleveland will have to call
an extra session of congress. Cleve-
land can only hope for relief at the
hands of the Repu blicans. AS to the
contest for the republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1896, it will be a
three cornered fight between Reed,
Mckinley and Harrison. and some
such a man as Bob Lincoln will walk
off with the nomination.

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
slrty-ons BUS Introduced in tn. house

Sixty One Bills introduced I'm the House
in One Day-E1eetfon Reform.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. 9.-Yes-
terday the house kept up its record
by introducing slxty-one measures.
Few were of any Importance, the ma
jority being local measures Mr..
Short of Cole wants to establish a
state board of pharmacy, and Mr..
Atkins, to prevent life insurance
companies from taking risks on chill
dren under II years of age.
MIR. Tatum introduced an election
bill, providing for the appointment of
a board of election commissioners in
cities of the first and second class,
not more than two of them to be of
one political faith They snail have
absolute charge of elections and all
to be appointed by the county court,
except in st. Louis, where they are to
be appointed by the circuit court.
Under the bill, cities are divided into
election districts of not over 500 voters
each.
The bill is very compre hens i've,
contains 80, GEO words, and report
circulated that it comes from Filley's
hands gave to it an intense interest
in the legislative mind. The one
great objection heard against the
bill Is that it is too comprehensive
and probably too complex.
In the senate, upon invitation of
Senator Basket, the invitation of the
people of Columbia that the senate in
a body visit the state university was
accepted.
Senator Landrum offered a joint
and concurrent resolution that the
attorney general be required to give
an opinion assto whether mem bers of
the general assembly, as has been
the custom, are entitled to pay for
Sunday.
Senator Yeater introduced a bill
providing that not more than five of
the nine curators of the state uni
versity be of the same polit zeal party.

Currency Bill in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. o.-There was
more financial talk about the senate
yesterday than at any time during
the session. 1t has been stirred up a
great deal by the recent pm blications
in the newspapers of various schemes
of currency reform and the near APP
proach of a vote in the house on the
pending bill. Senators who have pre-
dicted rather freely heretofore that
there would be no currency legisla-
tion talked in a more favorable wav
and limited at a possibility that
something might be done, though
they did not know how or what

WASHINGTON, Jan 9.-The meeting
of the cabinet yesterday lasted fully
three hours, an unusual length of
time. Foreign relations formed a
greater part of the discussion. The
satisfactory condition of the neg otia-

belief of the old friendly relations
being resumed shortly, came in for
a share of attention, as did the nature
of the response to be made to the
resolution adopted by the senate
calling for information regarding the
