IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

The session of the Senate yesterday was
unusually eventful in giving expression TO the
intense feeling which has been aroused by the
financial question and to the apparent hope
essness of arriving at solution.
Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, spoke for the first
time since the new phases of the financial
situation were presented. He urged the Sen
ate to take the subject from the Finance
Committee, where the task of framing BILL
he declared, was hopeless by reason of tIe
Mr.. Sherman arraigned the advocates of free
silver for pushing their demands 10 the point
of paralyZing legislation.
He asserted that the present emergency
could readily be met by issuing bonds of such
simple and convenient form that they would
be taken by the people as we'll as the banks
thus bringing the great labor savings in the
savings banks to the rescue of the govern
ment
Mr. Vest lent personal interest TO the de-
bate by declaring that the President was
seeking to make Congress accessory TO the
welding of the simple gold standard on the
people. The Senator asserted with dramatic
emphasis that he had thus far held his peace,
but that there must now be a separating of
the ways between him and the President He
agreed with Mr.. Sherman that there was not
the remotest hope for action by the Finance
Committee.
The Senate spent the rest of the day in
executive session on the Japanese treaty,
which was ratified.
The House yesterday entered upon the
consideration of the bill to fund the debt due
the government from the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific Railroads with per cent
flfty-year bonds. A special order was brought
in giving yesterday and to-day for debate,
but the opposition to it was SO intense and
determined that compromise was forced,
by which the time for debate was extended
one day.
Mr.. Riley, the chairman of the Pacific Rail-
road committee, consumed most of the re-
mainder of the day with the opening argu-
ment in favor of the measure.
Mr.. Harris, of Kansas, made the only other
speech of the day. He was bitterly opposed
to the bill. The House adjourned until IL
