FINANCE IN THE SENATE
The Bond Question the Theme
Of Stirring Debate.
BLKINs AGAINST PRIVATE SALES.

The West virginia Senator Denouncea tho
Proposed Bond syndlcate-A Lively Par
tisan controversy-A Brief Session In
tho House.
WAsHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The senate heard
n stirring debate, the bond question being
the main theme Mr. Sherman's speech,
which had been anticipated with much
interest for some time initiated the flnan-
cial discussion The veteran senator was
Ia good voice, and his speech was closely
followed throughout
At the conclusion Of Mr. Shormnn's re-
marks Mr. Butler renewed his request
for tho immediate consideration Of his
bill TO prohibit tho future sale Of bonds
except with the consent Of congress.
Mr.. Butler talked for some minutes and
finally asked unanimous consent to put
his bill upon It's passage.
Mr.. HILL who happened TO be In tho
chair, rather startled the senate by himself
interposing an objection.
Mr.. Mills then took the floor to reply
to Mr.. sherman He repelled the charge
that the Tifty-third congress was in any
way responsible for the present financial
crisis
Mr.. Shorman's resolution was tempo
rarily laid aside, and that Of Mr.. Elkins',
directing the disposal of bonds by public
sale, was taken up
Mr.. Elkins spoke vigorously in support
Of the resolution. He referred to the fact
that petty government officials were oom-
polled to make contracts after due adyer-
tisement, and yet the president and seore-
tary Of the treasury were entirely relieved
Of this valuable safeguard.
Mr.. Elkins reviewed the commissions
paid for floating loans during the war to
show the enormous extortion Of tho syndi-
Gates who had foated the loans of the
present administration. Only about S5,-
500, 600 had been paid in commissions on
loans aggreRating 81, 800. 600, QUO during
the war. In other words, II reports were
to be credited, the bond syndicate had
made more in placing a loan of S62 600, e.
600 than was paid for floating the entire
war debt The war loans were iloated
among tho people, as all loans should be.
The government ought not TO pay millions
for obtaining loan. It was said that one
