SESSION OF THE SENATE TODAY.
In the senate to-day, Mr.. Chandler
Republican, of New Hampshire, offered a
resolution directing the Judiciary COM
mittee to inquire into certain alleged ir.
reguarties in the southern judicial dis
trict of Indian Territory.
Mr.. Chandler called attention particu-
larly to the reports that receivers GER
tificates had been issued by authority of
the courL' for the construction of the
Denison & Northern railway, 104 miles
long, no capital being paid in. No action
was taken.
Mr.. Morrill, was recognized for q
speech on the tariff. He referred to the
emergency tariff bill passed by the house
and said "The Democrats have broken
away from the leadership of their presi-
dent, and, while marching to the drum
and fife of the North Carolina captain, in
such dread lest the Populists should get
control of their party, they seem to be
selves"
vIRTUOUs REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The senator declared that the Repub-
lican party never would make trade of its
principles on the money question in Or
der to secure higher tariff duties. He
predicted that the platform of the Repub-
lican party in 1896 would place every
dollar of our money in circulation on
parity with the best dollar of the world
and declared that the political ground
under the Democratic party appeared to
be dangerously volcanic.
Continuing, he said: "No doubt had
our country been shielded by sound
protective tariff during the hopeless years
of the present Democratic administra-
tion, much business distress and woe to
unemployed labor might have been avert
ed, but another adverse and sore bewitch-
cry to all business affairs, hardly less
potent than free trade tariff, has been
the unceaslng agitation of the free coin
age of silver aud a ratio that would not
fail to reduce the standard value of our
money, as we'll as the whole fabric of
public and private credits to half its
present value"
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT NONSENSE.
"The invitation from the commercial ma
tions to join in cooperative agreement
for larger money use of silver would be
accepted by the Republican administra-
tion, but it would be moro desirable if
the United States should receive rather
than offer the invitation, as the American
production of silver IS comparatively so
large that any initiatory step on our part
might subject us to the charge of being
inspired by the thrifty purpose of secur-
ing better market for our annual do
mestic product.
"Were it as certain, as some extreme
silver advocates represent, that no coop
e'ative agreement among the leading ma
tions for a larger use of silver can be OBJ
tained, that fact alone would be a cogent
and sufficient reason why the United
States should decline to stultify itself by
embarking single handed in an expert
ment so reckless and 80 distrusted as to
be stunned and coldly rejected by the
statesmen of every enlightened nation.
But this hopeless representation of the
silver question in Europe is untrue. The
trend of public opinion in Germany and
Great Britain favors tolerance of the
question"
CONSUL GENERALS NOMINATED.
The president to-day sent to the senate
the following nominations: William
Chudchall, of New York, consul general
at Apia; David N. Burle, of New York,
consul general to Tangier, Morocco.
NOTABLE WEDDING IN WASHINGTON.
Extensive preparations have been
made for the wedding tonight at the
New York avenue Presbyterian church of
Miss Julia Stevenson, daughter of the
vice. president, and Rev. Martin Hardin,
son of Gen. Watt Hardin, of Kentucky.
NORTHERN PACIFIC REORGANIZATION.
The house judiciary committee to-day
decided to report the subcommittee
resolution for the reorganization of the
Northern Pacific. Amendments we're
made to compel the reorganization COM
pany to pay all the debts of the company
and all claims against it and prevent the
