dent. from the course of the debate to-
day. and from the remarks that have been
made by. senators on this side of the cham
her and who, / take it, spoke after con-
sutation elsewhere that that is not de-
sired. We are confronted with the state
ment made by the distinguished chairman
Of the finance committee, (Alr. Voorhees,
whose judgment is that additional provis-
ion for the treasury is not necessary.
Statements have been made by other sena-
tors that they viii persist in discussing
the entire financial programme, which dis
cussion might not end before March 4.
With the sudden conversions which ap-
pear to have taken piacc-as sudden as
those we read OF in sacred history, and
which amaze some Of us on this side Of
the chamber - We have lost
the active support Of these gentlemen
and are left to deal with the question
alone. An this makes it necessary that
wegook the facts plainly in the face. Be
yond this bill stand the legislative appro-
pration bill the naval appropriation bill
and the general deficiency bill. In view
Of the determination 81 senator's on both
sides, and with a view to facilitate the
business of the session, / am instructed
by the committee on appropriation {
changing our views as to the necessity OF
the amendment-to withdraw it."
Mr. Allison said that he concurred in the
action Of the senator from Maryland.
The German amendment was thereup-
on withdrawn.
Mr. Mills, dem. of Texas offered an
amendment repeating all laws that auth
orlze the Secretary of The Treasury to
sell United States bonds for any pur-
pose whatever.
A point of order was made by Mr.. AL
drich, rep. of Rhode Island, and was sus-
tanned by the Vice President. So Mr..
Mills amendment was excluded.
Mr.. Mills admitted that the ruling Of
the chair was correct but the time would
come, he said, and come before long,
when the question would be presented
in such a way that it would not go out
on point of order.
Several small amendments were made
TO the bill, including the following:
For the appointment OF a commission
of nine on any international conference
Tor bimetallism-Mr. WolcOtts PROPOSE
ton as reported from the finance COM
mittee.
For a board of engineers to examine
as to the feasibility and cost of the Me
aragua canal by the route laid down in
the bill recently passed by the Senate.
Offered by Mr.. Pasco, dem, of Florida,
and advocated by Mr. Morgan, dem, of
Alabama.
An amendment that was offered by Mr..
Bate, in reference to the Tennessee Indus
trial Exposition, gave an opportunity to
Mr. Chandler to make one of his charac-
tersuc speeches. He spoke of the remark
able condition of three of the southern
states-Tennessee, South Carolina and
Alabama-in each of which there were, he
said, two governors-the one elected by the
people being out and the one not elected by
the people being in. 1t was not question
OF black men; il was a question of white
men In all these cases the white men
Of these states had elected a governor who
was kept out But as he (Alr. Chandler,
was in favor of dealing literally with Ten
nessee in this connecton-whOeyer might
DE her governor--he had concluded to re-
serve some political remarks until the sun
dry civil appropriation bill was passed Al
though he believed it to be to the interest
OF the party to which he belonged to have
an extra session of congress- he, himself,
personally, was DESTROYS of avoiding it,
provided the committee on appropriations
would use due diligence in passing the APP
preparation bills. He would take oppor-
tunity of the interval between the passage
OF the bill and the taking up of another to
submit the political remarks which he
proposed to submit in connection with the
present Senate, and the way in which the
democratic power in the Senate had been
obtained and retained; and also to say
what he desired to say in relation to the
woeful condition of the southern states,
In three of which the lawful governors
We're kept out and the unlawful governors
We're put in.
The amendment went over till to-mor-
row without action. After a short execu-
i've session the Senate, at $50 o'clock, ad-
1ourned until tomorrow at II o'clock.
