WASHINGTON, Dec. 8!.-The Senate
held two hours' session to- day, in the
course OF which speech by Mr..
Mitchell on the restoration OF the Nc
Ktnley duties on wool was listened to,
and resolution was passed for an in
vestiRation by the committee on naval
affairs. The resolution contained q
broad intimation that officers OF the
Govern mont were interested in armor-
plate processes, and Senator Chandler,
the author OF the resolution, said the
facts that had come to his knowledge
warranted him in assuming the respon-
slbilisy for inaugurstlng the inquiry.
The most important feature of the
session to-day, perhaps, wss regolu-
ton offered By Mr.. Sherman for the re-
etorstion of the gold reserve to be held
sacred for the redemption OF the green
backs and treasury Dotes, the former to
be re-iosued only in exchange for gold
coin and bullion. The res )lution in full
is as follows.
Resolved, That By injurious legls-
lation of the Fifty-third Congress the
revenues Of the Government were re-
duced bslow it's necessary expenditure,
and the funds created by law for the
REDEEM ption of United States notes has
been invaded to supply such deficiencies
OF reserve; that such q misapplicatio
OF the resumption fund ia Of doubtful
legality and greatly injurious to the
public credit. and should be prevented
by restoring said fund TO the sum of not
less than 500, Olo. 600 in gold coin or
bullion, to be paid out only in the re-
demption Of United States notes and
Treasury notee, and such notes when
redeemed to be reissued only In ex-
change for gold coin or bullion"
Mr.. Sherman will address the Senate
on the resolution on Friday.
Mr.. Eikins asked for the immediate
consideration of q resolution apropos of
the anticipated bond issue. declaring 1t
to be the sense of the Senate that no
bonds OF the United States should be
sold at private sale or by private coma
tract; but should be disposed of By sd
