WAsurNGroN. Feb 19.-By bold
parliamentary move the silver mon OF
the senate. under the leadership OF
senator Jones of Arkansas forced
aside an other pending business. IN
Guiding appropriation bills. and by a
vote of 3O to 81. made the bill for the
unrestricted coinage of silver un-
finished business before the senate.
Having succeeded in this Mr. Jones
gave notice that the silver bill would
be kept before the senate until q final
vote was secured before adlournmcut
to-day. From the strength shown OE
the silver men on the vote. there was
little doubt Of Mr.. Jones ability 60
secure the vote unless Obstructive
tactics or "a test of physical endurance
are inaugurated. which is regarded as
unlikely.
The move OF the silver men came as
the climax of au exciting day boz the
senate For two hour at the open
ing of the session there was a renew
al of the attack and d. tense. the
charge and counterchara concern
ing the course of the pr ..cut and
secretary of the treasury I- acLutiat-
ing the recent bond contract with
foreign bankers Tho two notable
speeches of the day were made hF
MIR. Gray. of Delaware. whose rcla-
tiun, with the administration are
such that his uttcrauces i'm defense of
the president and secretary were rc-
rarded as rejecting the attitude OF
the executive branch. and by Mr.
sherman. whose financial views are
always received with marked attcn-
tiun.
Mr. Shcrmau'S criticisms of the
bond contract were mono the less
severe because of the calm and im-
passionate manner i'm which he set
forth what be termed Its hard and
impolitic" features and tine "cNceS-
,ive" rate of interest allowed on
thirty year bonds Mr. sherman de-
cIared that no bonds should bc issued
except TO be taken by thr people of
the United states and he asserted the
abundant ability of American, TO
furnish all the gold necessary. The
Ohio senator did not. however que--
tion the presidents position iu favor
of gold payments but presented the
facts of all bonds issued since $3.50,
showing that the government had
always received gold for Its bonds.
and was bound bv common honesty to
pay iu gold for them Tine ugricul-
tural appropriation bin was finally
passed
