ing Rothschild & Son of London, Selig-
man & Co., of New York, and others
were those who contracted with Sec
rotary Sherman. Then, as now, said
the senator, the
SYNDICATE GOT THE BONDS.

1t. The senator said it was not that
he cared anything for Mr.. Carlisle, or
for the administration, but if these
bond contracts were to be paraded

paign, then he proposed to place the
Sherman contracts alongside the Car
Isle contracts, showing that the former

j. Pierrepont Morgan that you are
throwing in Mr.. Cleveland'S face
Mr.. Hill yielded the floor temporarily
to Mr.. Pettigrew (Rep. S. ID for a
speech on tariff and finance. The speech
was a succinct record of the govern
ment transactions for the last five
years. Mr.. Petigrew asserted his be-
lief that the recent financial scares had
been purposely worked by the present
administration in order
TO FORCE CONGRESS
to pass administration measures, and
after that to compel financial transac-
tions to enrich the favorites of the
president if not the president himself"
There has been, he said, a deliberate
conspiracy on the part of the admins
tration to break down the governments
credit Mr. Pettigrew spoke Of the part
taken by a former law partner of
Grover Cleveland in negotiating the
bond contract with the Morgan syn
dictate. The senator said if some mayor
or governor of less favored individual
ity than a president had acted in this
way, impeachment or criminal prose-
cution would have followed at once"

THE SECRET FEATURES
of the bond transaction
A sharp controversy occurred be-
tween Mr.. Pettigrew and Mr.. Hill as to
what course Secretary Carlisle should
have pursued in awarding the forfeited
bonds. Mr.. Pettigrew asserted that the
award to Morgan & Co. was rotten
and dishonest to the core"
Mr.. Pettigrew also criticised Mr.. Sher-
man for his recent tribute to the treas
ury administration
Who is more competent to express
such tribute?" asked Mr.. Hill. than
the distinguished statesman from Ohio
secretary of the treasury"
That is matter of opinion" re-
piled Mr.. Pettigrew. 81 do not doubt
that the senator from New York and
the Morgan syndicate will forever pro-
claim that the senator from Ohio is the
best authority that can be found so
long as he openly endorses the
PLUMBER OF THE PEOPLE
and the robbery of the treasury"
The bond resolution was laid aside.
Mr.. Hill retaining the floor Mr.. PETER
having concluded not to press for
vote tonight
Mr.. Allison asked when a vote on the
bond resolution would be expected.
Certainly tomorrow replied Mr..
PETER.
Then let time be fixed for tomor-
row." said Mr.. Allison.
Mr. Hill was quickly on his feet

marked smilingly, ito fix a date now
