Senate Substitute Discussed in
the House.
EIGHT HOURS OF SPEAKING
The Speeches Have Thus Far
Been Tame and Dry.
WITH TWO NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS
McLaurin Denounces Pearson For
Catering to Cheap Applause
in His TRADE Upon South
Carolina.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Senate free
coinage substitute for the House bond
bill was debated five hours in the
House this afternoon, and for three
hours at the night session. Neverthe-
less, the pressure from members for
time to present their views is so great
that it seems possible now that the de-
bate may run over into next week.
The majority against silver in the
House is overwhelming, but almost all
the members insist on an opportunity
to make speeches explaining their po-
sition for the benefit of their consti-
tuents, and the House managers seem
disposed to allow them full rein to do
so.
The speeches so far have been tame,
and dry. There were two notable ex-
eeptions, however, to-day. Mr.. john
son, of North Dakota, and Mr.. Johnson,
OF California, both Republicans, but on
different sides of the silver question,
afforded entertainment, and, perhaps,
instruction. The former was once a
school teacher, and to-day he brought
the methods of the school room into
the House. He placed some charts in
front of the Speakers desk illustrat-
ing geographically the rise and fall
OF prices in this country, the produc-
tion of silver, the price of wheat in
India as measured in silver and,
pointer in hand like a professor to his
pupils, explained converging and di-
yerging lines Mr. johnson, of Cali
fornia, on the other hand, whose fiery
protests against the passage Of the
bond bill attracted general attention,
won the applause Of the silver men
with an eloquent speech, urging. the
Republicans not to ignore silver, and
warning them of the dire consequences
that might follow if they did. His wit
was so trenchant, and his blade so keen
that he was frequently applauded by
those who were not in sympathy with
him.
Mr. McLaurin Dem. S. CO occupied
several minutes in replying to the
speech Of Mr.. Pearson (Rep. n. CO. last
night. He referred to the contest be-
tween "brnte force and money" and
manhood and voters" and denounced
MIR. Pearson for catering to cheap
applause and befouling his own nest
by intimating the disloyalty of South
Carolina.
