IN CONGRESS.
The Senate Is All Ready 10 Pass Censufe
Upon Bayard.

Washington. Feb 2-The Senate will
not convene until Tuesday 1t has no IN
finished business before it. consequently
the course Of procedure during the week
may depend largely upon the action Of the
finance committee upou the tariff bill,
The Republicans hope to be able to re
port that measure, Tuesday, but Jones Of
Nevada who holds the balance Of power
in the committee and who has insisted
upon the sugar schedule being raised in
the same proportion as the other sched-
ules, stated, Yesterday that be thought
the bill woald not be ready TO report.
Tuesday.
This was said some hours after the free
silver amendment had passed the Senate,
and is therefore regarded as indicating
that Mr.. Jones opposition to speedy re
porting OF the tariff bill has something
besides silver back Of 1t.
Dubois Kept his resolution providing
for the distribution Of appropriation bills
among the various committees In the
background because Of his desire not to
antagonize the silver bill. That being
ont Of the way, it is not unlikely that he
may call this resolution up, at an carly
day.
The Cuban resolutions reported, last
week, and tie Davis resolutions on the
Monroe doctrine. both OF which are on the
calendar may possibly be taken up, and
if so will afford abundant opportunity for
debate
The majority and minority report in the
Dupont case, involving the seat Of a sena-
tor from Delaware, viii be called up as a
privileged question by Mitchell chairman
of the committee on privileges and elec-
lions, mt the first opportunity
For routine matters the Senate has the
urgent deficiency and pension appropria-
ton bills ready for consideration Neither
IS likely 10 call out any great amount Of
discussion
When the bond sale bill with the Sen
ute's free coinage amendment Is reported
in the House, tomorrow, it will probably
be referred tn the committee on ways and
means, and if so, Tuesday next, when that
! committee meets, it will undoubtedly
recommend non concurrence in the Senate
amendment.
Whether this bill, so amended, shall be
permitted ut once to engage the attention
Of the House to the exclusion of other
business, has not been determined The
probabilities ar said to be that it will be
sent to a conference without much debate,
aud the House will proceed with the M
preparation bills.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bin will come up, Monday, for further, and
il is hoped, final consideration. The agri
cultural appropriation bill is ready on the
calendar, and the Indian aud military
bills are simply waiting to be reported
from the committee having charge of
them.
The foreign affairs committee will be
| ready almost any time during the week to
report q resolution consuming Ambassador
Bayard for his speeches at Edinburgh and
Boston, England, and an interesting de
bate will doubtless occur when that mat
ter is called up Tor action.

pages Senator Jones of Arkansas, the
commander in-chief of the silver forces,
was at his desk AT II o'clock the session
was resumed Under the parliamentary
fiction it was still the session of Thursday
AS no adjournment had been taken since
then.
There was but scanty attendance upon
the floor and in the galleries, but the
chamber gradually filled as the session
proceeded. There was no prayer or rou-
tine, owing to the parliamentary status
and Mr. Morrill,, chairman of the finance
committee took the floor for his speech
which had been announced as the last of
the long speeches of the debate. Great
interest attached to Mr.. Morrlls remarks
owing to his continued vigor at the adj
vanced age of IS, and his long participa-
ton in the great struggles of congress
He spoke from manuscript, with a clear
voice. readily heard in every part of the
chamber. Occasionally he put aside his
notes and emphasized his remarks with
emphatic gestures.
Senator Morriil's Address.
AT the beginning Mr. Morrill, stated
what the president has asked congress to
do in regard to the finances, and he said:

by Deputy Sheriff C. G. Nichols
Mr. Nichols is known throughout the
county as an efficient Officer and keen
business man. He is proprietor of the
Riverside Farm Creamery and, not long
ago, decided to establish another plant

likely to prove desirable for the purpose,

naturally, Mr.. Gerry would expect to re-
ceige considerable support from the
farmers of that vicinity providing they
did not have creamery nearer home Of
course, if Mr.. Nichols established one
there, Mr.. Gerry would deem it impracti
csle to start one in Dexter as the Silver
Lake plant is only about four miles from
Dexter.
Mr.. Gerry has talked with the farmers,
aud it is claimed that be has not repre-
sented Mr.. Nichols in IA very good light.
The latters friends claim that Mr.. Gerry
said that any contracts Mr. Nichols would
make with the farmers would be worth
less, that he (Nichols) would not pay his
honest bills, and that the farmers wanted
nothing to do with him
Mr.. Nichols has now brought suit for
Islander, and has obtained quite nun Der

thing to do is to nominate Teller. Prob
ably two thirds of the leaders agree off
hand that this argument is sound, and
that they are in sympathy with it, but the
matter is left open for later develop
meuts. 1t is not intended that Mr.. Teller
shall be put in nomination before the con-
vention with other candidates. The stu
alton which will bring his name before
the convention is expected to arise during
the course of the proceedings. If his
name is ever formally presented it will be
after an understanding has been reached
in private conference with the leaders
that he is to be given the .nomination.
Before this can he done there must be a
trial of strength between the other candi-
dates in the convention, and a thorough
canvass of their vote getting qualities
must be made
In order for Teller to get the nomination
it must be made to appear plainly to the
convention that they cannot find a candi-
date in the Democratic party who can
unite all the silver forces and carry the
Western States necessary for election. a
prolonged contest between other candi-
dates would be likely to lead to this, and
it is we'll within the range of possibility
that matters may be shaped so as to give
Teller the nomination. The convention
