Washington, May 2S.-In the Senate to-
day the free alcohol repeal bill was re-
ceived from the House and referred to the
finance committee. 1Ir. Harris stating that
he would ask the Senate to take it up as
soon as the conference report on the In
Gian appropriation bill was disposed of,
the committee having considered the al
cohol bill in advance.
TIE conference report on the Indian APP
preparation pill was then taken up. 1t met
determined resistance, on account of an
amendment contained in it (and which
had no basis in the bill as passed. provid-
ing for extending the rights ana duties of
citizenship to the Indians of the five civ
ilized tribes. The matter went over with
out action at o'clock, when the consid-
GRAFTON of the bill to prohibit the issuance
OF bonds without the consent of congress
was taken up.
The concurrent resolution from the House
for the loan of tents TO St. Louis, East st.
Louis and vicinity was received and i'm
mediately laid before the Senate for ac-
ton. Mr.. Vest. dem, of Missouri, said
that although it might seem an ungracious
thing to say, ne was compelled to say that
kilograms received within the last half
great disaster had been terribly exagger-
ated. He wished TO say for ST. Louis and
for Missouri, that without boastng, that
city ana that state could take care of their
people under that or any other misfortune.
He had, himself, received no information
that those tents were needed No harm
could be done by the passage OF the res
OlutiOn. but he wanted to express his dis
sent from the custom of states and COM
munities that were entirely capable Of
meeting any eNigency, rushing to the seat
Of government of the United States to
seek assistance on all such occasions.
Mr.. Harris expressed himself as in full
sympathy with Mr.. Vests remarks, but
suggested that the resolution should be
amended by making it a joint resolution.
That amendment was made and the reso-
luton was then passed.
The House accepted the amendment, and
the resolution received the signatures Of
the speaker, the Vice President and the
President before o'clock.
The prohibitory bond bill was then ia
ken up, and Mr. Daniel continued the
speech begun by him yesterday in ad-
vocacy of it,. Mr.. Daniels speech was
chiefly a review of the financial question,
and an attempt to prove that the long
prevailing business depression was the
result of the monetary conditions in the
United States. 1t was pointed out to him
by Mr.. Gray, dem, of Delaware, that
Great Britain had been enjoying a high
degree of prosperity under the single
gold standard, and he was challenged to
explain that inconsistency. The eXpla-
given
ain was availing herself of the opportu-
nifty to buy cheaply in the United states
and to make large profits And, he ad-
ded with applause from the galleries), Il
am an American, and that is the reason
why I am in favor of the double stand
Mr. Daniel spoke for an hour and three
quarters, closing his speech with this EN-
phatic declaration; Whatever may DeIlde,
] take my place in the ranks of the plain
masses of the American people, who APP
preciate their institutions and intend to
defend them at whatever cost.
Mr.. PETER, advocated the bill as some
thing that was necessary to tie the hands
of the President, who, he said, was guilty
of such usurpation of authority as to make
him amenabie to impeachment. He declar-
ed that If that usurpation was not stopp-
ed, and If the gold policy. were persisted
in the people would be driven to repudia-
ton. The object of the bill was to pre-
vent that by taking the power of issuing
bonds from the President.
At the close of Mr.. PETERS speech, the
bond bill went over without action.
Senators Dubois, rep. of Idaho, Gibson,
dem, of Maryland, Allen, pop, of Ne
braska. Brown, rep, of Utah, and Bate,
dem. of Tennessee, were appointed by the
Nice President TO represent the Senate at
the opening of the Nashville, Tenn, ex-
position.
ed until tomorrow.
Those who have been clinging to the
hope that the debate on the anti-bOnd
bill now before the Senate would cause a
change in the opinions of certain sena-
tors have abandoned hope, and now say
that the proposed measure will pass. A
canvas has been made of the Senate and
1t is believed the anti-bond proposition
will carry in the proportion of AZ to Al on
a total vote 1t is thought that an agree
ment can be reached tomorrow on an hour
on Monday next, when the final vote will
be taken.
