VEST HAS s REMEDY.
he Would Coin the Silver Bullion In
to Standard Dollars.

washington. December I.-There was
nothing Of q directly warlike character in
the senate discussion today. but there
were several very significant financial
propositions and declarations.
The first OF these was a resolution Of
fered by Mr. Vest directing the secre-
tary of the treasury to coin the silver
bullion in the treasury into standard sill
yer dollars and TO pay with them the GER
tiicates issued under the law Of July II,
1880 in purchase Of the bullion; also 10
pay the Ereenbacks in standard. silver
dollars. or in gold. using whichever may
be most abundant or convenient
Mr. Vest wished to have his resolution
Immediately considered. but objection was
made by Mr.. Platt and the resolution
went over for the day. A like fate at
tended somewhat similar resolution Of
fered by the new popUlist senator from
North Carolina. Mr.. Butler. directing the
payment of the interest and principal
of the governments coin obligations in
gold or silver as long as the two metals
are on a parity: and in silver when that
metal is below parity with gold.
Is the President Panic Stricken
The presidents financial message of
yesterday was denounced by Senators
Stewart and Dubois mat message, in
Mr.. Stewards opinion, proved that the
president was panic-stricken. But all that
the president had to do TO sustain the
national credit was TO pay the govern
ment obligations according to the contract.
Let him announce that" Mr.. Stewart
exclaimed, 'and there viii be no raids
on the treasury"
Mr.. Dubois also condemned the message
and declared that it was utterly. absolute
ly impossible to exchange financially in
accordance with the presidents recOmmcn-
dation," and that all that the message
had done was to precipitate financial dis
cussion. Nobody, he said, wanted to have
bonds issued. and nobody wanted to have
greeubacks retired. He expressed his be-
lief that the Vest resolution would be
agreed to on the next legislative day, II
a vote upon it was not prevented by the
action of the presidents friends.

THE SENATE WAS SPIRITED.
An Effort To Appear Conservative
Was a Failure.

washington, December 19.-(Special.)-
There is little abatement in the excitement
which has prevailed in Washington since
the presidents message was received.
The senate this morning did IT'S utmost
TO appear conservative, but before the de-
bate was half over the spirit which char
acterszed the houses acton Of yesterday
was rampant in the senate. on Ile out
side one hears considerable criticism OF
the presidents action. but II comes from
men chiefly who have business interests
at stake Senator Sherman attempted TO
cool down the ardor of the senate, but he
only aroused criticism of himself.
Senator Allen, the populist member de-
layed the proceedings by Directing 10 the
second reading Of the bill which provides
for the commission, and but for this i
would have been sent at once 20 the for
eirn affairs committee and been reported
back 20 the senate by tomorrow. In all
probability the senate will amend the bin
so as TO permit congress to name a part OF
the commission.
Senator Morgan's opposition TO this pro
posed amendment came somewhat as
surprise. for ne had formerly been wont to
cr.t.cise very severely the appointment OF
Mr.. Blount without consent from the sea-
ate. lie referred TO that appointment to-
day in disparaging terms, but advocated
vigorously the wisdom Of allowing the

Washington. December 2f.-Secretary Oh
ney and Secretary Herbert had long
conference with President Cleveland tod'E
about the present and PROBABLE future
aspects OF the Venezuelan situation.
Mr.. Clney and the president, it is under
stood. discussed the appointment of the
Venezuelan commission authorized by con-
gress. According to the wording of the
resolution authorizing the commission, tire
commissioners are directed 90 ascertain the
true divisional boundary between Nehe-
zuela and British Guiana
This, OF course makes their work so
much moro dGicUlt ard increases thcir re-
sponsibility. 1t. was said today that when
the report of the commission is received
the president VIII adopt one Of two courses.
He will either send the finds of the com
mission TO congress with request for
action, or else issue a proclamation ce-
claring the true boundary TO toe that as
certafned by the commissioners.
What would follow this latter acton can
only be surmised, bat IL IS probable that
the pres dent would use IL as the bass
for another attempt 10 secure Great Brit
aims agreement to arbitration before TAX
ing any radical STEP provided, of course,
that the commissioners Gic not sustain

disputed territory.

Outlandish Language of Little Squirt of
BrIton.

New York. June 1.-THE case of Ad-
miral Meade has begun to receive COM
ment among naval officers abroad. In
the June issue of the Broad Arrow, the
naval and military gezette Of Great
Britain, the leading editorial is devot-
ed TO the subject 1t says:
The American government has shown
its good will TO England, not only by
its amicahle attitude over the Near
aguan difficulty but also by its sup
preston of Rear Admiral Meade in
command OF the American squadron,
which was present on the Nicara guam
coast. Admiral Meade. with an indis-
erection which is as painful 10 English
men as it is foolish, expressed his re-
greet that his government had not al
lowed him to act with vigor against US.
He was anxious to support the Near
aguans in their farcical resistance to
our just demands, and for this he
has been punished. We cannot but de-
plore the unfriendly attitude which
certain American naval officers occa-
sionally assume toward us.
We have in our mind Admiral Bel
knap's pronouncement that the Japan
csc could easily whip the Britishers, as
the British navy was quite an in
efficient force. Such talk does an i'm
menSity of harm when the two
branches OF our race are drawing closer
together. Captain Mahan and Admiral
Erban did not think or speak in this
way and on this side Of the Atlantic
there is nothing but the friendliest in
terest in the new American navy. We
do not grudge our cousins their great
ness: We do not interfere with their
foreign policy, andwe look forward with
hope TO a future possibility Of an al
lance which would be the only really
popular alliance in England
The Spectator makes a happy sug
cestion which might he acted upon by
our government The United States
has shown its friendliness by remov-
ing Admiral Meade-let Us do an
gracious act by asking that he
NAV be reinstated in his command. II
would certainly promote a kindlier
feeling toward US among the officers Of
the American navy and might even
make Admiral Meade himself think
that the BritiShers are not such terri
BILE villains altar all
