THE DAY SET.
THE NATIONS SOLONS.


WASHINGTON, d. c., February 16.-
Mr.. Sherman gave notice that he would
move to go into executive session, to-
morrow, on the arbitration treaty and
he hoped then to get final action on it.
Mr.. Chandler, Of New Hampshire,
addressed the senate in support of his
resolution declaring il to be the sense
of the senate that the United States
should not permanently acquiesce in q
single gold standard. He said he
earnestly favored the resolution because
he ia an advocate of bi-metallism and
an opponent of mono-metallism,
whether it be gold or silver.
The bill passed by the house, grant
ing authority to sell opium when seized
by collectors on the Pacific coast, has
been amended by the senate committee
on finance. A provision has been sub
stituted which compels the revenue
officers to destroy opium, whenever
captured.
HOUSE DOINGS.
The amendments to the timber cul-
ture bill which covered all points at is
sue, were disagreed to and confer
ence was ordered to-day.
