on an appropriation bili, he said, of a pro- vision for borrowing money is vicious and ought to be prohibited by the constitu- ton. Mir. Teller was applauded upon con cluding his speech, the peroration of which was delivered with much pressiveness.
 Singnlarly enough, the applause began on the floor, Senator Mitchell starting it, and the galleries were not slow in showing a sympathetic chord of approval, so that the presiding officer felt called upon to lecture them.
 The financial debate for the day was closed by short speech from Senator Call f, who deprecated the attack made upon the president and the secretary of the treasury, though he declared himself a believer in the free coinage of silver.
 The credentials of Mir. Chandler for his second term were pres, n ed by his col league, Mir. Gallinger, and placed on file.

 Mr Allen presented what he called the ''credeniials of Warren s. Reese as sen ator-elect from the state of Alabama,' and asked that they be placed on file.
 The vice president-They will be placed on file.

 Mir. Alleu-Let it take the usual course.
 MT. Gray-What Is the usual course?
 Mir. Alien--To have them placed on file as other credentials are. l do not know that credentials go 10 the committee on privileges and elections until there is a contest.
 MT. Gray-I don't know that to be the usual course for a communication of that kind. The reference which l proposed would be the proper disposition of it.
 MT. Allen-It does not occur to me that it is proper at this time. If contest comes up suppose that the committee on privi- leges and elections will have to consider it.

 MT. Allen--There is no seal.
 MT. McLaurin-Does it not purpose to have seal attached?
 MT. Alleu-Yes, but as @ matter of fact there is no seal attached to the creden tials. 1 ask the senator from Delaware to with draw his motion and allow the credentials to lie on the table for the present, as pro- pose to address the senate on the subject next week. The whole question can be disposed of at that time.
