G0RMlN IS NOT FOR WAR
Says Their Is h)tETough Money
in the Treasury.
STEWART BREAKS A RECORD
He Admitted That He Had 80 Refer
ence to Silver in the Inquiry Made
of the Maryland Senator-SuppIe-
mentary Report ON the Fraudulent
Elections In A laba MA.

A supplementary report to the repcr,
heretofore made by the Committee on
Privileges and Elections in favor of an
inquiry into elections in Alabama in 1894
was presented in the Senate today by Mr.
| Chandler and ordered printed.
! 1t states that the new report is made
because the minority report is not forth
coming, after the lapse OF forty-eight days.
The report recites the statement made
| by Senator Allen of Nebraska in the Senate
| February IL. 1895, showing that "a COO
fraudulent votes were cast Ior Oates in
| the fifteen black belt Counties which teing
deducted would show the election OF Kolb
! byabout7 Z 600 majority; tina t j X oib egisla-
turc was elected; that in four bla ok belt coun-
ties two Kolb senators and seven Kolb rep
| rcsentatives were chosen and in fourteen
white counties four KoIb senators and
| twenty-four Kolb represe natives were
chosen; hut that the Demo cratic candidates
were fraudulently declared elected, and
eliminating these frauds there was an
actual Populist and Republican majority
Of twenty-nine In the legislature, making
Senator Morgan's election invalid.
The report says the truth of the facts
charged is admitted In the Selma, Ala,
Times. Of December 6, 1895, where it is
said that the election crimes were "neces-
sary to prevent negro domination; yet that
the young men of the black belt are weary
of going into the ballot boxes and bringing
up manufactured ma critics. and that il
is expedicnt for Alabama to adopt the Mis-
sississippi plan Of DISTINGUISHING the cnlored
voters by constitutional amendment.
THE NAVAL BILL.
After unimportant routine morning bus-
ness, the Senate proceeded 10 the consid-
GRAFTON OF the naval appropriation bill.
AS passed by the House, the bill appro-
priated S3I ,64T, ,24O. The changes recon-
mended by the Senate Committee on Ap-
preparations would result in u net reduc-
tion OF S367,15s, leaving the amount of
the bill S31,279 .4s2.
The unimpor,ant amendments OF the COM
mittees were all agreed TO; while those
affecting the Increase of the navy were re-
served for the present.
Mr.. Quay moved 10 increase the appro-
priation for reserve auxiliary cruisers
from S25O,OoO 10 100000. The amend
ment gave rise to a debate, in which Mr..
German commented upon the suspension OF
gun ma king at the Washington Navy Yard,
and said that the prior activity there had
been stimulated by the war feeling got
up at that time, while the suspension OF
the work was due TO the fact that the
of steel tubes and steel
jackets had failed TO furnish them ac-
corriing TO contract.
He did not share. he said in the feeling
that there should be any great haste in pre-
pairing for war. Ir the Treasury was in a
proper condition lie would favor the propo-
sition. But lie submitted that it was TN wise
at this time to appropriate a large amount
on account of guns. aud follow it up with
$50. 900 900 for war vessels.
What is the condition OF the Treasury
N r. Stewart asked.
Il Will get to that point a little later to-
ia or tomorrow" replied Mr.. German.
There is $3.50. 10000 balance in the |
Treasury now said Mr.. Stewart.
NOT TALKING SILVER
There is also a very large amount of |
silver stored there Mr.. German sug |
sested In a tone OF sarcasm.
Il am not talking silver. but about the
ash balance in the Treasury" Mr. Stewart
persisted.
After further discussion Mr. Quay's
amendment was agreed 10.
