augurated tho Senate bill, but who, owing to
illness. had been absent from the Senate cham
Der most OF the timo since then. was present to-
day to witness the crowning Of his work. He
voted for the bill, but afterward courteously
withdrew his vote in order to lot Mr.. Murphy Of
New York have a pair.
After all the amendments which had been
offered to-day were disposed of. and Just before
the bill was reported to the Senate, several brief
closing speeches were made by silver Republic
cans, Mr.. Teller Of Colorado being the most con-
splcuous and the most domonstrative in his
declaration that. although the bill was a bad
one. and although trusts and combinations hod
had too much to say in getting 1t up, he would
not vote against it, but would leave to the Re-
publicans the responsibility of n measure got I'm
to suit themselves.
