THAT COMFORTABLE BALANCE
Contrast Between Assertions of Senator

Mr.. Teller vigorously Applauded.
Senator Reese's Papers.
BY the United Press.

By the United Press.
Washington, Feb. 1.-Mr Allen pre-
sented what he called "The credentials
of Warren s. Reese as senator-elect
from the state of Alabama" and asked
that they be placed on file
The vice president-They will be
placed on file.
Mr.. Allen-I ask that they be read.
The paper was read. 1t consists OF
square of parchment on which is writ
ten, within border lines of red ink, the
following:
State of Alabama, Executive Department.
This Is to certify that on the 2Sth day OF
November, in the year of our Lord, 1884,
Warren S. Reese was duly elected by the
legislature of Alabama a senator to repre-
sent said state In the senate of the United
States for the term of six years, commence
ing the 4th day Of March, 1895.
Witness, his excellency. our governor,
X. f. kolb, and our seal herewith affixed.
at Montgomery, Ala. this Sth day of De-
cember. 1891. X. +. Kolb, Governor.
j. c. Fonville, Secretary of State.
After some discussion as to the proper
method of referring the document on
request of Mr.. Allen it was allowed to
that he would address the senate on the
subject next week.
The seat claimed by Mr.. Reese Is the
one which Senator Morgan has been
reelected, and for which his creden-
tials are now on file.
Mr.. Mcpherson Dem, New Jersey a
member of the fianace committee, Of
fered a resolution to discharge that
committee from the further consdera-
tion of Mr.. Shermans bill, ITO provide
for temporary deficiency of revenue"
and that the bill be placed on the calen-
dar. He asked for the immediate con-
sideration of the resolution.
Objection was made to the immediate
consideration and the resolution went
over without action. Mr. Mcpherson
gave notice he would move to take 1t up
tomorrow.
That Comfortable Balance"
The District of Columbia appropria-
tion bill was taken at 1.30 p. m, and
its consideration was proceeded with.
The bill considered again involved an
interesting financial debate, the princi-
pal speaker being Senator Teller. who,
terday, commented rather vigorously
upon the assertions Of the Maryland
senator that there was a treasury de-
felt of 100000 600, and contrasted them
with the presidents message, saying
there was comfortable balance" in
the treasury. Mr.. Teller said the sur
plus was not there, and he thought 1t
was the right of the senate ITO be told
by the treasury the truth about the
matter
Mr.. German disclaimed any PROPOSE
ton to place on an appropriation bill a
bill to raise revenue. Mr.. Teller said
no legislation will go on an appropria-
ton bill with his support. The putting
on an appropriation bill, he said, of a
provision for borrowing money Is
vicious and ought to be prohibited by
the constitution. Mr.. Teller was ap-
plauded before concluding his speech,
the peroration, of which was deliv-
cred with much impressiveness. Singu-
larly enough the applause began on the
floor. Senator Mitchell starting it. and
the galleries were not slow in showing
sympathetic chord of approval, so
that the presiding officer felt called
upon to lecture them.
The credentials of Senator Chandler
for his second term were presented by
his colleague, Mr. Gallinger, and placed
on file.
