DAVIS AND SA NDS
The Senate Laid the Nomination of the For
mer on the Table.
A Lively Debate Before That Action
Was Taken-Adverse Report
on Mr.. Sands.

The Senate went into executive session
yesterday at 4:3O o'clock and spent half
an hn,n In a partisan debate over the nomi-
natI - Henry E. Davis to be United
States attorney for the District of Column
bia. Senator Pugh moved to lay the nomi-
nation on the table, which was carried by
a vote Of Al to II. many republicans join
ing with the silver democrats by voting in
the affirmative. This action was regarded
as disposing of Mr.. Davis nomination. and
defeating any hope he might have for con-
firmation.
The members Of the judiciary committee
who had voted favorably on Mr.. Davis
nomination were greatly surprised at this
action. But statements made by. Senators
German and Faulkner had much to do with
this decisive vote. Mr.. Faulkner said Mr..
Davis made a personal attack on him at
his home in West Virginia.
Senator Hoar made the opening speech,
refuting the charges against Mr.. Davis.
and saying that the committee had made u
thorough investigation. Mr.. Hoar said he
felt convinced that Mr. Davis was in every
way deserving of the honor that the Presi-
dent had conferred upon him.
Senator Hill spoke In support of Mr..
Davis. His speech was principally devoted
10 an attack upon the democrats who were
opposing the appointment These demo-
Gratis were opposing Mr.. Davis. Senator Hill
said simply because he had expressed his
honest views. He paid special attention to
Senators German and Faulkner in his
speech, referring to them the leaders
of the faction who are antagonistic to Mr..
Davis. This speech called Senator German
to his feet. and he replied to Senator Hill
in forcible vein. Defending his course
and the course of Senator Faulkner, he de-
clared that Mr.. Davis had repudiated the
party at a critical period In its history.
and. therefore. Mr.. Davis did not deserve

completely. Both fights were fast and ex-

CAGES FINANCIAL MEASURE.
VIII More Thoroughly Commit the
Country to the Gold Standard.

Country to the Gold Standard.
Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary Gage
appeared yesterday before the commit
tee on banking and currency of the
house of representatives to present a
bill embodying his views for a revision
Of the currency, to explain and urge
Its provisions, and to meet any objec-
lions raised by the committee. The
measure was subsequently presented
in the house. The secretary said the
objects he had in mind In the provisions
offered were:
First-To commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard: re-
move, so far as possible, doubts and
fears on that point, and thus strengthen
the credit of the United States both at
home and abroad.
Second-To strengthen the treasury
In relation to its demand liabilities in
which are included greenbacks, treas
ury notes, and the incidental obligation
to maintain on parity, through inter-
changeability with gold, so far as may
be necessary the present large volume
of silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third-To do this in such way as
not to contract the volume of circua-
ton in the hands Of the people.
Tourth-To take an initial step to-
wards system of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit of pub
lie bonds as security therefor. If we
prosper as a people, the revenue of the
government ought to be somewhat in
advance of its expenditures, and the
public debt of the United States grad
ually reduced and finally extinguished.
