Washington, May L. Two notable,
speeches by Senator's Teller and Sher-
man. representing opposing elements
on the financial question, were heard
in the senate to-day. Mr.. Teller adj
dressed himself particularly to the
Ohio senator, controverting the views
held by him and maintaining that no
honest effort had been made in the
present congress to pass a tariff bill.
The senator referred in passing to the
Mckinley candidacy, saying that the
motto Advance agents of prosperity"
was delusire. as no prosperity could
come until financial conditions were
reformed. The climax Of Mr.. Teller's
speech was reached when he an
nounced that he would vote as he
spoke, and that he would not hesitate
to separate himself from the great
party to which he had been allied for
forty years if it declared for the gold.

Mr.. Sherman answered Mr.. Teller,
arguing against a SO cent silver dollar.
and announced that the time had come
for decisive opinion from the people.
He appealed the case, he said, to the
tribunal of the American people at the
coming election. The early part of the
day was given to speeches by Senators
Villas and Mitchell Of Wisconsin, Palm
er and Kyle, eulogizing Pere Mar
quette, after which the resolution was
adopted, accepting the statue Of Mar
quette, presented by Wisconsin,.
The house spent the day in further
discussion of the bankruptcy BILL MI.
Connolly Rep., HID spoke in favor Of
the measure and w. A. Stone (kep.,
Pa.), Mr.. Newlands (Silverite. New,
and Mr.. Broderick (Rep, Kan.) in op-
position to it. Mr.. Newlands, in the
course of his remarks, said that if the
Democrats at the Chicago convention
abandoned free trade and declared for
free silver fusion of the silver ele-
ments would follow, which would be
victorious, while Mr.. Connolly predict
ed in the event of the enactment of q
free coinage law an universal demand
for bankruptcy law.
Washington, May 2.-The senate
spent another day on the naval appro-
priation bill without completing it. Mr..
German further opposed the item of
four battleshopS. and expressed the
opinion that the appropriat already
made would consume the balance in
the treasury A determination Of the
number of the hattleships has not yet
been reached. Mr. Chandler has pro-
posed substituting thirty large and
fast torpedo boats for two of the bat
tleships. Mr.. White (Cal.) spoke of the
need Of coast defenses before further
naval vessels We're built, and Mr. Allen
(Neb) made a speech Of over three
hours arraigning the two old parties.
The general debate on the bankrupt
cy bill was continued and concluded in
the house. The bill will now be open
to amendments under the five-minute
rule. The friends Of the measure are
very sanguine that it will pass by a
safe majority. Mr.. Bailey OF Texas
gave notice that he would offer as a
substitute his voluntary bankruptcy
bill. The surprise of the day was the
announcement of Mr.. Culberson Of
Texas, ex-chairman Of the judiciary
committee, who has heretofore fought
every bankruptcy bill containing an
Involuntary system, that he would vote
for the pending meaSdre.
Washington, May 1.-THE debate in
the senate was Of a dramatic and SEN
sational character. recalling the fam
GUS Ingalls-Voorhees contest Of some
years ago. Senator Tillman of South
Carolina again brought his unique per-
sonality into the debate, his speech be-
ing the first of any length since his
memorable maiden effort attacking pub
lie officials, high and low. While he
spoke the silver fork recently present
ed to him in the West was conspicu-
ously displayed in his scarf. The SEN
ator used the blunt words character
sistic Of his utterance, arraigning the:
president and cabinet officers with I'M
sparing criticism and personal inyec-s
tive. He also addressed himself per-
sonally to MI. Hill and Mr.. Sherman,
and drew from the former sharp re-
joinders. while Mr.. Sherman declined
to be brought into n controversy with
the South Carolina senator. a#
MIR. Hill followed Mr.. Iillman. an
sWering the latter point by point The
New Yorker referred to the coming
Democratic national convention. de-
claring that there would be no split,
but that the true Democracy would
recognize the rule of the majority and
1 keep the party intact, despite the
threats of the South Carolina senator
to leave the party Mr.. Hill spoke
freely and frankly Of his differences
with the officials of the administrat ion,
