He passed in review the pleasant hours
they had spent together. He took
melancholy delight In conjuring up the
things they had said, the places they had
gone to, the balls, and theaters, and gal

one another. He thought Of the last walk
they took, the walk which led to the pres

WAsHTNGTON, Jan 14-Senator Nor
gan's speech on the silver bond bill was
the event in the senate. although a sharp
personal colloquy between Mr. Hill. Mr.
pritchard and Mr. Butler enlivened the
early hours. Mr.. Morgan frequently ad-
dressed himself personally to Mr.. Sher
man, who sat across the aisle, and for two
hours arraigned the Ohio senator for the
series OF financial acts with which he L.
identified. AT times Mr., Morgan was BIT
terly personal. He referred to Mr.. Sher-
man as that Napoleon Of finance who was
near his Waterloo and who would be con-
signed to St Helena. In the main how
ever, the speech was a scholarly presenta-
ton Of the silver question. Mr.. Hills col
loquy with the two North Carolina sena
tors brought out considerable discussion OF
the New York senator's political consist
ency and was amusing TO the crowded gal
leries.
The house, after devoting an hour to
the consideration of business reported from
the District of Columbia committee took
up the pension appropriation bill. Gener-
al debate on the bill consumed the day.
Mr.. W. A. Stone Of Pennsylvania, in
charge Of the bill, explained its provisions.
Mr. Graft Of Illinois offered the amend
ment abandoned by the committee inhib-
iting the suspension of pensions for fraud
until the fraud had been proved in Unit
ed States court and Mr.. Bartlett Of New
York opposed the proposed extension OF
the dependent act of 1850 by the removal
of the inhibition Of widows pensions until
they had proved their dependence upon
their daily labor for support. He estimat-
ed that the proposed extension would add
80, 600 names to the pension rolls.
Mr. Kyle of South Dakota introduced q
concurrent resolution empowering and d.
recting the president of the United States
TO receive such persons as may present
themselves, satisfactorily accredited to act
on behalf Of the Cuban patriots and, on
the production of evidence showing that
they have established a seat of government
on the island of Cuba, and that a majority
of the native born residents are actively
supporting and defending it with arms, or
are in sympathy with the cause, extend
belligerent rights to the Cuban patriots.
The resolution was referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations.
