TURPIE TALKS BUSINESS
HE SAYS THAT THE TURK SHOULD
 BE GIVEN i LESSON.

DE GLF EN II LESSONs In His Speech in the Senate He Advised
 the Use of Shot to be Sent Through the Grand Seraglio-The Bond Bill After wards Discussed.
 Washington, Jan. 2S.-In presenting
 a petition in regard to the Armenians Mir Turpie, dem., of Indiana, spoke of
 the recent outrages upon them and said
 that the only charges against them,
 their only crime, was being Christians.
 official notification should be given to Turkey and to the Mohametan church
 that they must cease to proselytize by the sword.
 The sway of the Turk, he said was only endured and supported on account
 of those international jealousies that clustered around the transatlantic seg-
 ment of the Mediterranean called the balance of power' in Europe. The Turks ought to be notified that they
 must erase from their book of discipline that practice of the Mohametan church which makes use of arson and murder
 to suppress the Christian faith. And
 he would have that notification follow
 ed by a shot which would go crashing
 through the grand seraglio. He was in favor of giving 'the sick man of the Bcsphorus' the coup de grace and of ending his life and system by dissolu- tion and destruction.
 It was that those murderers and as- sassins should know who He was that was born to the world at Bethlehem and | was raised at Nazareth and that when
 He comes again to punish such wretches as those, Hit brings with Him hot peace but a sword.

 | At o'clock the vice president laid before the senate the house bond bill and the free coinage substitute 1 MT. Jones' dem., of Arkansas who has parliamentary charge of the bill, tried to have an understanding arrived at l by which the bill should be voted on next Thursday. Various suggestions | were made and notifications offered
 but objection was interposed by MT. | Hill. dern., of New York, who said that he knew several senators who desired l to speak: and he could not consent to l the agreement until they had opportu- nifty to present their views. He ex- pressed the hope, however, that vote
 might be had on Thursday.
 | MT. Jones then gave notice that he would ask the senate to remain in ses- | sion nex. Thursday until "a vote was
 reached.
 1 MT Wolcott, rep, of Colorado, ex- pressed the hope that the physical test 1 would not be applied. He had heard it
 said, again and again. that it was the silver people (so-called) who were en- 1 deayoring to stave off a vote on the | bond question, but now it was sen that | it was senators from the east who were
 procrastinating and who were willing to postpone the vote.
 | MT Hill asked whether the senator | from Colorado referred to him as one to | postpone the vote.
 Certainly not" said Mir Wolcott, sar- castically, "how could I accuse the sen- ator of that when he has just been on the floor asking for further time" l Neughter)
 MT. Teller, rep, of Colorado, gave mo-
 tice of an amendment which he would
 offer to the substitute, providing that
 after the first of July, 1896. all national i bank notes shall be redeemed in coin
 when presented to the banks issuing l them, and that banks failing so to re-
 deem them shall be dissolved. 1 MT Clark, rep, of Wyoming, address
 ed the senate in advocacy of the free 1 coinage substitute.
 l MT Voorhees. dem., of Indiana, ad- l dressed the senate, also in support of
 the free coinage substitute The coun-
 trv he said. was in the midst of a revo- lution brought on by those who plotted
 against silver.
 1 MT. Voorhees criticised MT. Sherman's financial record, remarking that the
 senator from Ohio believed in sound
 money for Wall street, but not for the
 soldiers. The gold withdrawals of the 1 last year, MT. Voorhees, said, was part i of the conspiracy to compel the issue
 of interest bearing bonds. Ruin had | followed in the train of demonstration. ! Speaking of the Sherman act, he des- 1 ignated it "the celebrated and ill-omen-
 ed act" Never before, he said, had a
 member of parliamentary body found l himself compelled as Senator Sherman 1 had, to assist in putting to death his | own offspring That act had stood 1 openly confessed as an unnatural mon-
 ster and as a menace to commercial
 prosperity The act repeating it's silver purchase clause had declared it to be
 the policy of the United States to main-
 tain the use of both gold and silver as
 standard money and to coin both gold
 and silver into money of equal intrinsic i and exchangeable valua.
 That policy had received the sanction
 of both houses of congress and had been
 approved by the executive on November l 1, 1893. That doctrine had been upheld by all the great names in American history. No citizen of the United States
