Washington, Feb. 1S-By bold
parliamentary move the silver men of
the Senate. under the leadership of
Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, forced
aside all other pending business, in
Guiding appropriation bills, and by a
vote of 80 to 81 made the bill for the
unrestricted coinage Of silver I'M
finished business before the Senate.
Having succeeded in this, Mr.. Jones
gave notice that the silver bill would
be kept before the Senate until a
final vote was secured before ad-
journment tomorrow.
From the strength shown by the
silver men on the vote today there is
little doubt of Mr., Jonec' ability to Sc
cure the vote tomorrow. unless OBJ
structiye tactics or a test of physical
endurance are inagurated, which is
regarded as unlikely.
The move Of the silver men came as
the climax of an exciting day in the
Senate.
For two hours at the opening of
the session, there was a renewal of
and counter-charge concerning the
| course Of the president and secretary
of the treasury in negotiating the re-
| cent bond contract with foreign bank
ers.
The two notable speeches of the
day were made by Mr., Gray, of Del
aware, whose relations with the ad-
ministration are such that his utter
ances, in defense of the president and
secretary we're regarded as rejecting
the attitude Of the executive branch,
and by Mr.. Sherman, OF Ohio, whose
financial views are always received
with marked attention.
MI. Shermans criticisms of the bond
contract were none the less severe be-
cause OF the calm and dispassionate
manner in which he set forth what he
termed Its hard and inpoIitic" fea-
lures. and the excessive" rate of in
terest allowed on thirty-year bonds.
| Mr.. Sherman declared that no bonds
| should be issued except to be taken by
| the people of the United States and
he asserted the abundant ability of
Americans; to furnish all the gold
! necessary.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was finally passed

Detni1s of an Exciting Day Among
the SPnatOrg

Details of an Exciting Day Among
the Senator's.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 19,-The
Senate was the centre of interest today
as the result of the warm discussion of
the financial question and the personal
criticisms of the President on Satur-
day.
Mr.. Stewards resolution declaring
the government had no legal authority
to buy gold coin in preference to sill
yer coin for any cause whatever, was
called up. Stewart spoke of the
humiliating position of the United
States being held by a gold commits
sion which had the power to ''coerce
and squeeze the country up to next
October, when the contract expired.
Gray is Surprised.
Mr.. Gray then took the floor. He
expressed surprise that the senators
from Massachusetts Oodge), and Colo
rado CWolcotD had so far gone out OF
their way as to indulge in a violent
assault upon the executive. The Presi.
dent had performed a duty incumbent
on him by the law. That law was such
that the evasion of it would have beer
a plain derelfction of duty.
The law makes it necessary to main.
tain the parity between the metals by
redeeming in either. No sooner had
Congress assembled than the President
appealed to Congress concerning
financial condition. A bill was formed
on the lines suggested in that MESA &c
and the House saw fit to reject it

gresS. Gray read from the President
message urging patriotic and unpar
tisan action to meet the emergency.
Does the senator think" inter
jected Mr.. Stewart, "the President has
re-established confidence in the affairs
by hiring the assistance of a foreign
syndicate?'
Almost Pathetic.
Mr.. Cray said he would fully con
slider that point later. Proceeding witt
the Presidents message, the senator
read specific statement that the law
did not provide for bonds payable il
gold. At that time Lodge had no
complained Of the conditions clearly
set forth by the President, but ha(
waited until now to present the scath

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
Democrats Generally Opposed to the
Scheme


Scheme.
Washington, D. c., Feb 1s.-The pre-
dicted controversy between the two hous-
! es Of Congress over the Senate amend
ment to the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill, to expend $5O0,OOO for the
survey and preliminary work on cable
to connect the United States and the Ha-
waiian Islands is at hand.
| The ConfereeS of the Senate and House
held their first meeting today. They
were able to come TO terms of agreement
upon all the dozen amendments to the
bill except that for the cable, the Sena-
| torial cOnfereeS receding from several
minor amendments and the House rep
jresentatiyes accepted several.
Upon the cable question, the delegates
! from each body observed the formal in
struction5 given to them. The disagree
ment will be reported to the Senate to-
morrow, and it is expected a motion Will
/ emanate from the Democratic side to in
struct the conferees to abandon the Ca
! bic item. A report will be made by the
House confereeS probably on Wednes-
jday; and the proposition will doubtless
come from Republicans that they be in
| structed to accept the amendment Thus
the question may be brought before
lbOth houses for debate.
| A new factor which has come into the
cable proposition is the effort of the COM
| pany headed by Admiral Erwin, and in
Guiding several of the most influential
| business men OF Canforn1a and the Ha-
waiian Islands, to secure from Congress
an act of incorporation authorizing it to
lorganize and construct a Pacific cable
connecting California, the Hawaiian Is
bands, New Zealand and Japan. Their
bill was referred to a subcommittee of
the House on Foreign Affairs for constd-
Grafton and the subcommittee at its next
meeting will take 1t up. The argument is
being advanced by Democrats and will
lbe made in debate, that it is entirely I'm
necessary for the government to give its
funds to cable enterprise when capital
lists stand ready to do the work; also
that the United States has never before
given financial aid to a work of this char
acter, as all the cables would have
landings on our shores and be laid by
lprivate capital.
