orously upon the assertion of the Maryland SEN
ator that there was Treasury deficit OF slopooWo'
and contrasted IL with the Presidents message
which said that there was a "comfortapie pal

surplus was not there and he thought 1t was the
right OF the Senate TO be told the truth about the
matter by the Treasurer. Mr.. Teller's speech was
Of considerable length and several interpretations
by Senators on either side brought out an eXpan-
sion of the Colorado Senator's Views. and drew
out as well the explanation from Senator German
that Yesterday when he (as 1t might have been)

more prevailed-except between Breckenridge and
Heard. whose friends at began to try to bring
about a reconciliation at eas. understanding
which would prevent further hostillties between
them. 1t is understood that these efforts were
