speech on finance. with frequent direct
criticisms Of the president and secretary Of
the treasury, was the main feature of the
session of the senate. There was added
interest in the speech from the fact that
Mr. Mills has been prominent in the SEN

His criticisms were temperate and digni-
fed, the senator giving expression 10 his
high personal regard to the executive, al
though differing from him radically on the
question Of financial policy.
Mr.. PETER followed with a speech
against bonds and in favor Of silver coin.
age.
During the day Mr. Pugh (Dcm.) Of AL
ALBANIA gave notice that on Monday next
he would press to a vote without debate a
resolution that all government obligations
should be paid in either silver or gold.
The time was consumed by the house in
oratory upon the pension appropriation
bill, in the course of which the policy Of
the present administration toward the vet
Grams was scored by both Republicans and
Democrats and defended By two or three
Democrats.
The most notable incident of the debate
was the attack made by Mr.. Grow Of
Pennsylvania upon what he termed the
extraordinary attempt by the president
and his clerks to encroach upon the pre-
negatives Of the legislative branch of the
government. He denounced Secretary
Carlisle for sending financial bill 20 con
gress and the action Of the president In
having read the famous letter TO Mr..
Catchings on the Wilson bill just before "A

attempt TO influence the vote. Congress
