Senate Proceeding.

| Washington, April lion motion of
| Cannon, the senate took up the resolu-
| tion directing the secretary of the in
| terror to open the Unoompahgre reser-
walton without further delay, the un-
| derstanding being that the bond inves-
tigating resolution would be taken up
at O'Clock. Brown spoke for the reso-
| luton and sought to secure a vote. Cor
| man asked that action be deferred as
| Villas, who was absent, desired to be
| heard. Aldrich said there was some
| thing behind these efforts at delay.
I'VE surrender control as gracefully
as possible TO the other side" said Cor
man, "and we had hoped business
would be pushed along. But 1 have OBJ
| served with wonder that the senators
in control have not mapped out some
well-defined policy"
Wolcott protested against making
the Utah resolutions 1.-The football OF
party politics" 1t had dragged for three
weeks. when 1t ought not to have taken
two hours.
THE senator understands and the
country understands" said Aldrich in
response to German, that neither of
the great parties has a majority in the
senate"
Villas then proceeded with a speech
opposing the Utah resolutions
At o'clock the bond resolution was
brought up and Hill resumed his speech
in opposition. Before Hill had risen to
his feet, Walthall moved that when
the senate adjourn Ii be until Monday.
and 1t was carried. 35 to 2s.
Referring to the Wilson bill. Hill
said he had sought 10 change some of
the extreme features of that measure
IL passed, however. as the great meas
ure of tariff reform.
THAT bill" he said, "as conceded by
It's friends and enemies, does not pro-
duce enough revenue 10 meet the ex-
penses of the governmnt"
Hill declared that with revenues in
sufficient to meet government expenses
bonds were imperative. Certainly then
the democratic party should at least
defend the course Of the president and
the secretary of the treasury in issuing
bonds. IL was not for the democrafic
party to join in the present assault OF
populist and republican senators
against bond issues. The senator de-
clared that IL this investigation was
made the administration would emerge
from IL without stain and to the dis
comfiture of those who voted for the in
vestigalion. He spoke of Secretary
Carlisle's conspicuous ability. The sec
retary had argued the question fairly
from his standpoint. He had never de-
scended to the abuse of the silver men.
His recent great speech at Chicago had
no abuse for those against him. Are
the friends Of silver to answer that
great speech with an offensive resolu-
tion having dishonesty" written on its
face?
Speaking Of President Cleveland's
message concerning bonds, Hill said Il
was made necessary by a congress
which spent its time making speeches
against syndicates and refusing TO pass
laws to end those syndicates Hill
yielded for the Introduction OF a bill
which. however. led to an animated
side debate and closed Hill's remarks
for the day.
Gear presented a substitute for all
bills. proposing a settlement OF the Pa
CHIC railroad debts Allen thereupon
called attention 10 the notorious fact
that Coils p. Huntington and his lobby
had been here TO influence legislation,
