TWO FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS.
One by Hill and the other by Stew
art-Alabama Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE financial
question again came forward in the Senate
to-day, when Mr.. Hill presented resolu-
ton dc filming the policy of the government
TO pay It's bonds in gold in case the parity
between gold and silver could not success
fully be maintained. Mr.. Stewart. repre-
senting the radical silver element, submitted
a counter resolution, declaring that the
government had no right to prefer gold to
silver. The resolutions went over under the
Senate rules. but they offer an opportunity
for a renewal of the spirited conflict over
the financial question Mr.. Hill sought to
secure action on his resolution to-day, and
II Is believed he will push it tomorrow. 1t
Is considered improbable, however, that the
Senate will specifically define the govern
ments policy on gold payments in case the
bimetallic ratio Is disturbed. Most of the
day was spent on the postoffice appropria-
ton bill, a spirited contest being made
against the Senate amendme Mt giving the
President discretion in spending S3,20O0O0
for railway postal routes. There is such
freedom of debate in the Senate that Mr.
Allen branched off into an elaborate pre-
sentation of the alleged frauds in the last
Alabama election. Mr.. Allen presented ta-
bles supported by affidavits showing that
$1,000 fraudulent votes were counted in the
of South Dakota, presented a resolution di-
recting the President to secure private
counsel to prosecute the rights of the gov
eminent against the Union Pacific and Gen.
trail Pacific railroads. The Senator said he
would have some interesting statements to
present as to irregularities in management
OF these and some other roads. The Senate
had not completed the poslonice approprla-
ton bill up to the time of Adjournment
When the session opened the credentials
of Mr.. Hoar for another term in the Sem
ate, beginning March next--the fourth term
FOR tAlr. Hoar--were presented to the Senate
by his colleague, Mr. Lodge.
Mr.. Davis submitted resolutions from the
Legislature of Minnesota characterizing the
railroad pooling bill an effort to legal
tze gigantic trust" and requesting the
Minnesota Senators and Representatives to
work against the measure
Resolutions were presented by which the
legislatures of both Kansas and Minnesota
expressed themselves in favor of the cleo
tion OF United States Senators by direct
vote OF the people.

PROGRAMME NEEDED.
Senate Finance Committee VIII Not
Wait On Voorhees,.

WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-THE Republican
members of the finance committee were in
conference for short while to-day, but
adjourned with the understanding that the
full committee would not be in session to-
morrow, owing to the indisposition of Sem
ator Voorhees,, chairman of the committee.
They did not therefore, decide on any line
OF action Later Democratic members of
the committee stated that there will be an
effort to have meeting regardless of Sem
ator Voorhees, absence. 1t is made neces-
sary by the appreciation which all the
members have for the Importance of acting
on the bill for the extension of the time
Tor the income-tax regulations, and also by
tne desire on the part of them to consider
the Dill removing the one-tenth of a cent
discriminating duty on sugar imported from
bounty paying countries 1t is believed that
the income-tax extension will be reported
without objection. but it IS doubtful Wheth-
er the sugar bill Will emerge from the com
mrttee. 1t is doubtful whether any proDo-
sltlon OF financial character will be report
Wnlcn majority can agree, except upon
the free coinage of silver and some of
the six members favorable to free coinage
are doubtful about the expediency of report
ing such measure at this time

ALL OF GOVERNOR TURNER'S ALLIE
CATIONS OF FRAUD DENIED.
Proceedings of the Legislature,
Whereby an Usurpcr Is tn BE
Seated, Denounced Invalid.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. n.-H. c.
Evans. Republican candidate for Governor
who took the oath of Office a few days ago,
filed lengthy and specific answer to the
petition of Governor Turney, the Demo-
cratic incumbent, to-day. In addition TO
specifically denying the allegations Of Tu--
ney, the answer charges Irregularities and
frauds IN a number Of counties to which Mr..
Evans had made formal objections. The
answer charges that the proceedings inst-
tuted by the Legislature are unconstitu-
toral. and reiterates the ground set forth
IN Mr.. Evans's formal protest heretofore
made. The point is also insisted upon that
the contest law is retroactive, and that the
contestant is not allowed to be heard IN per-
son or by counsel before the joint conVen-
ton, thus denying him right ACCORDED by
the Constitution. He insists that he has been
chosen Governor, and that the contest law
takes from the people the right to choose
their government. The allegations OF the
seriatim, and the answer denies that Turney
received the highest number of votes. Inc
constitutionality OF the poll tax OF 1872 is at
tackled, and it is denied that the laws or the
State were Systematically deliberately and
Intentionally ignored in the precincts and
counties as charged. Proof Is demanded
upon all the allegations of Tuneys petit
ton, and each county objected to by Mr..
Evans is taken up and specific matters of
Turney defeated for Governor by cleo
ton frauds. The joint committee of inves-
t-ation met tonight and organized by
