Washington, D. c., December 81
The Senate held two hours session
to-day in the course of which a speech
by Mr.. Mitchell on the restoration of the
Mckinley duties on wool was listened
to and a resolution was passed for the
investigation by the committee on naval
affairs of the prices paid by the gov
ernment for ship armour. The resolu-
ton contained a broad intimation that
officers of the government were interest
ed in armor plate processes and Senator
Chandler the author of the resolution,
said the facts had come to his knOwl-
edge warranted him in assuming the
responsibility for inaugura1ng the IN
quiry. The most important feature OF
the session perhaps was a resolution
offered by Mr.. Sherman for the resJora-
ton Of the gold reserve, which there
after should be held sacred for the
redemption of the greenbacks and treas
ury notes, the former to be re-issued
only in exchange for gold coin and bull
lion. Mr.. Sherman will address the
Senate on his resolution on Friday.
Mir. Elk.ns asked Tor the immediate
consideration oil q resolution apropos Ok
the anticipated bond issue, declaring TO
be Bhe sense OF the Senale that no bonds
of the United States should be sod at
private sale or by private contract but
should be disposed OF by advertisement
TO Jhe highest bidder. Mr.. Hill, Of New
York, objected.
Mr.. Nelson, Rep Minnesota made
his first speech in the Senate, adyocat-
ing higher duties as a remedy for pres
ent financial troubles
Mr.. Sherman's resolution was listen
ed to with keen interest in view Of the
Senator's utterances against the retire
ment Of the greenbacks. He gave no.
tee that on Friday be would submit
some remarks upon IT, The resolution
was as follows:
Resolved, That by injurious legisla-
ton by the Fifty-third Congress the
revenues Of the government were re-
duced below its necessary expenditure,
and the funds created by law for tho 70.
demption Of United States notes has been
invaded to supply such deficiency Of re-
serve: that such a misappl.cation OF the
resumption fund IS Of doubtful Legality
and greatly injurious to the public cred
it, and should be prevented by restoring
said fund TO the sum of not less than
500. 900, 900 IN gold coin or bullion, 10
be paid out only in the redemption OF
United States notes and treasury notes,
and such notes when redeemed to be re-
issued only in exchange for gold coin
or bullion"
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate to-day was the following, by
Senator Pettgrew: A bill directing
the secretary Of the treasury TO cancel
and not reissue greenbacks hereafter
redeemed by him but 10 issue silver GER
tifcates in their place, the certificates
10 be redeemed with silver dollars.
To meet the demand thus created the
secretary IS directed TO coin the silver
now in the treasury and if the amount
is not sufficient for the purpose he is
to purchase more silver bullion from
time to time.
