of Texas, introduced bill in the senate
to-day to repeal the refunding act of
1870 ana the specie payments rssump-
tion act of 1875. Senator Mills said that
he would call up this bill tomorrow and
seek vote on it.
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, reported
favorably the bill to prevent the carrying
in the mails of obscene literature from
one state or territory to another.
Mr.. Call offered the following:
"Resolved, That a special committee
of seven senators be appointed, who
shall be charged with the duty of inquir-
ing into the imprisonment of Eugene V.
Debs, for alleged contempt of court, and
who shall report to the senate and recon-
mend such legislation as may be neces-
sary for the enforcement of the law and
the protection of citizens from arbitrary
and oppressive excess of judicial power"
1t was disclosed at this point that the
Pugh resolution for silver payment of
bonds had lost its parliamentary status
yesterday and was at the foot of the cal
endar.
Mr.. Hill said that Mr.. Pugh had been
warned of this.
81 deny that statement" said Mr.. Pugh.
"The senator is simply denying the
record" answered Mr.. Hill, pointing out
how the resolution lost its place.
II can easily be trapped" responded
Mr.. Pugh, "by such skillful means as
those adopted by the senator from New
York"
Mr.. Pugh sought to get his resolution
restored, but Mr.. Hill bjected to such a
move, causing much amusement.
Mr.. Pugh finally gave notice that he
would move to- morrow to restore the
resolution adding: "The senator from
New York, will not be able to avoid going
on record on that resolution"
Mr.. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming,
was then recognized.
WARREN GETS RED IN THE FACE.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, ad-
dressed the senate to-day on his resolu-
tion calling attention to the shrinkage
in the number and value of farm animals
and requesting the finance committee to
report appropriate legislation. The sena-
tor attributed the shrinkage to the Will
son bill, saying that it caused in two
years 1864, 100000 loss to the Ameri-
can people in live stock. The talk that
the wool growers were more prosperous
under free wool was preposterous; the
live stock interests always thrived under
Republican rule and always decreased
both in numbers and value under Demo
cratic administrations that corresponds

countries in our market; that, while the
sheep of the United States are worth but
slightly more than half what they we're
two years ago, the wool expectation from
England to America in 1885 was nearly
triple that of 1894.
Senator Warren, in strong language
denounced Senator Vest for excoriating
the supreme court for reversing the
precedent in the income tax cases, and
then himself (Vest) glorying in the fact
that the economical law of the tariff on

stop the gold drain by collecting gold fol

| DUBOIS FREES HIS MIND.
Mr.. Dubois delivered speech, which
in addition to advocating the passage OF
the free coinage substitute for the bono
bill, outlined the position of the Repub
lican senators in the silver states. The
senator said that, while he cheerfully
greeted the Populist votes in the senate
for free silver, he could not accept
Popullst leadership, that party being
irrevocablY committed to fiat money with
Unlimited imitation.
Further he said that the silver Repub
licans favored protection generally, in:
Guiding protection of 80 called raw ma
terias and particularly lead, wool and
lumber, besides various products of the
farm, plantation and ranch.
Referring to the charge that the west
ern silver states each have two senators
and are enabled to pass free coinage
bills, he said that the question of repre-
sentation was fought out when the con
stitution was framed.
"Netwithstand this" he added, II reat
