A snvERITHs DECLARATION.
Senator Dubois Says Cleveland's Re-
quest VIII Go Unhe eeded.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-The session of
the Senate was notable to-day In bringing
out very pointed statement from Mr.. Du-
bois, who was understood to voice the views
of the silver element in the Senate, that no
financial legislation was possible along the
lines desired by President Cleveland and
strenuously urged in the message of last
evening. 1t was patent to every Senator,
Mr. Dubois said, and should be understood
by the country, that the Presidents desires
for the retirement Of the greenbacks, or the
authorization of bond issue, were utterly
impossible OF accomplishment The only ac-
ton the Senate would take. IL IL was given
the opportunity to vote. would be to adopt
the resolution of Mr.. Vest, offered earlier
In the day, directing the coinage of silver
bullion In the treasury and the payment OF
government obligations in silver. The only
immediate response to the Presidents mes
sage was in the presentation OF two resolu-
tons favorable to silvcr-that by Mr.. Vest
and another by Mr.. Butler, the new Popu-
list member from North Carolina, proposing
gold payments. while the metals were at a
parity, and silver payments when gold went
to premium.
a letter from Secretary Olney gave
congratulatory ca5.egram from the Brazil
ian Senate, transmitted through Minister
Mendonca. Of Brazil, on President Cleye-
lands recent message. The resolution is as
follows:
THE Federal Senate OF the United States
OF Brazil sends its greeting TO the Senate
OF the United States upon the worthy mes
sage OF President Cleveland, who SO stfen-
uous,y guards the dignity. the sovereignty
and the freedom of the American nations"
Mr.. Proctor submitted a resolution asking
the Secretary OF War to submit informa lion
as to what amount could be profitably ex-
pended for coast defenses up TO July, 1897.
The resolution went over.
The first response 10 the Presidents mes
sage urging financial relief came In the
form of a resolution offered by Mr.. Vest,
as follows:
"Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Treasury is hereby directed, In pursuance
OF the existing law vesting In him full
power TO do SO. to coin as rapidly as pos
edble the silver bullion In the treasury
purchased under the act Of July II. 1870.
