The Sunday Session,


ual attraction of q Sunday session
Of congress in the pleasant setting oi
mild spring-liks weather furnished to
Washington holiday in the modern &C.
Ceptsnce OF the word. Throughout the
afternoon all the drivswRys and walks
approaching the capitol were filled with
carriages, and the Sunday professions
turned their steps from Connecticut
avenue, the swell northwest, to the
other end Of town. The broad steps of
the capitol had somewhat the appearance
Of inauguration day, the great plaza to
the east was dotted with strolling
groups, lines Of carriages were drawn up
stretching clear across the streets, wait
ing for the business which they would
have won had they been favored with
rain or slush.
The house was the theater Of the popu-
lace which preferred lively scene, while
in the senate the spectators were more
orderly and fewer, though more Of the
notRbles were to be seen in the reserved
galleries, particularly in the diplomatic
seats, where the sky-blue robss Of the
Chinese minister were the center of inter
est. After nightfall and until the street
cars stopped running at midnight, the
crowds pushed in and out, hung around
the rotunds looking at the historic paint
ings when they could not secure Rdmis-
sion to the galleries, and not few spec.
tRtors were holding their seats into the
early hours OF this (Monday) morning.
At 8 o'clock the conference report on
the sundry civil bill was called up by
Mr.. Ssysrs. When the proposition for
an international monetary conference Ito
which the house conferrees had RCcsdsd)
was reached, the silver men demanded
time.
Mr.. Sibley called attention to the sat.
isfaction with which the proposition for
monetary conference had been re.
csived by the monometsllic press Of the
East on the ground that it might lead to
some adjustment by which the silver
could obtain larger Legitimate use. The
friends Of silver, Mr.. Sibley declared,
had held the doctrine that a wider use
Of silver was necessary because they saw
the curses that had followed the falling
of prices the world over. What the
United States should do is to act, not
consult, and Mr.. Sibley expressed the
opinion that a monetary conference
would simply postpone the day when
silver could 90 TO the mints for free coin.
age, on the same terms with gold.
Mr.. Simpson said the proposition for
conference was the same old game, twice
played on the people, Of holding out a
promise that would never be realized.
It would postpone free coinage at least
six years, and six more years Of gold
standard would 30 complete the finsn-
cisl bondage Of the country as to make
it forever impossible to break the power
Of gold kings. BE was opposed to again
entering on the farce Of q monetary CON.

the instant that the money men

their products. Why does the
merchant Of the u. S. desire for

receive in return for his labor
