FUN WITH TELLER.
The Senator and His Resolution
Scored BY Mr.. Hoar.
Motion to Strike from Indian Bill Appro'
priation for Carlisle School Defeated
in the House.

Washington, Jan, 26.-For more than
six hours today the senate had under
discussion the Teller resolution provid-
ing that the government pay the prin-
cipal and interest of the bonds of the
United States in silver. BY agreement
the resolution and pending amendments
are to be voted upon before adjournment
tomorrow. The debate today was devoid
of the sensational incidents and acri-
monious colloquies which characterized
that Of yesterday, but it was replete
with argument and oratory.
The time was consumed by Mr.. Teller
of Colorado, the author OF the resolu-
ton, and Mr.. Daniels of Virginia, who
supported the resolution, and by Mr..
Hoar of Massachusetts and Mr.. Platt of
Connecticut, in opposition to it. All de-
livered set speeches except Mr.. Hoar,
whose speech was in reply to some
points advanced by Mr.. Teller yester-
day No other business was transacted.
At the opening of the senate today,
Mr.. Hale of Maine presented the report
of the conferees on the urgency defc-
Iiency appropriation bill, and the report
was agreed to.
Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire Sc
cured the adoption Of a resolution call
| ing upon the attorney general tor a re-
port as to whether there have been re-
cent violations of the constitution IN
Louisiana by the exclusion from service
on juries in the United States courts OF
duly qualified citizens, on account OF
color.
The debate on the Teller resolution
was opened by Mr. Teller. Mr.. Teller
complained that Mr.. Hoar tried to make
| il appear that his (Teller's) position was
| on a. parallel with the making OF ten
dollar piece out of a copper cent.
Senator Hoar interrupted Mr.. Teller,
who had been abiding to him as an al
vocate OF single gold standard 70 say
that his desire was for the double
standard.
Mr.. Hoar, in his speech, maintained
the position he took yesterday, that the
question under discussion was not one
of law. but one of honor and integrity
He said that the advocates of the pend
ing resolution maintained that by a
CRANE the price of silver had been re-
lduced until the silver IN q dollar was
worth but "A cents, yet the same SEN
ators who made the charge of that
"crime," advocated the payment of the
governments obligations in this depre-
| ciated money-money that had been de-
preciated, as they claimed, by crime.
Mr.. Hoar said that it had been made
| evident by the statements of the sem
ator from Arkansas Berry to whom
he referred as an honest stalwart old
confederate who was willing to walk
| up to the cannon's mouth" Of the pend
ling question, that 1T was the purpose
OF the silver men to go into the cam
paign of 1900 and declare 1t to be right
\ and honest to pay obligations in forty
cent dollars and to stigmatize as
"grabbers'' and robbers those who
differed with them upon the honesty OF
such a policy.
| The Colorado senator, when he rose to
begin his speech, Mr.. Hoar said, ex-
pressed a desire to resent something. In
fact, he was always resenting some
thing.
| Mr.. Teller called Mr.. Hoar's attention
! to another statement, and when he had
done so, Mr.. Hoar ridiculed him, by lik-
ening him to the small boy, who was
asked what the cost Of ii pounds Of beef
would be at seven cents a pound and re-
piled: You can't get no beef at no such
price,
In the course of his remarks, MIR.
IIoar referred incidentally to the pres
ent industrial situation IN New Eng
land, and its relation to the Dingley
tariff law. Further along he reverted
to the situation, and briefly discussed
1t. He was satisfied that the industrial
trouble in New England was not due to
the operation of the tariff law, but to
quite different cause. He was glad,
and the people of New England were
GLAD of the industrial prosperity of
South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia,
but he did hold that the people of New
England did not want to be brought
into competition with communities
where long hours were the rule in in
dustrial establishments, and where child
labor was employed in the factories.
He said that these practices were not
known in New England, where limit
hours for workmen, and no children la
Dor were provided for by law.
Competing on basis of equality of
laws would be welcomed by New Eng
land "Our policy" said Mr.. Hoar, sis
not bounded by state lines. We are
| New England men, but we are, above
all, Americans"
Mr.. Hoar was followed by Mr.. Platt
of Connecticut, in opposition to the
pending resolution.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, Jan. 26.-The house de-
voted another day to the consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill, most
of the time being consumed in discuss
| ing extraneous subjects.
| The most interesting feature of the
day was the debate on the question of
reducing the mail carrier service in the
| large cities, owing to the failure of the
senate to attach the estimated deficieh-
cy of 100000 to the urgent deficiency
! bill A dozen representatives from as
many different cities protested against
the proposed reduction, and urged an
immediate appropriation. Chairman
Loud of the post office committee and
Chairman Cannon of the appropriation
committee, allayed the wrath os the
members by assuring them that the
service, could not possibly suffer until
June is, before which time there would
| be ample opportunity to pass a def
| cheney appropriation. Mr.. Loud used
| strong words in his criticism of the post
office department officials, and promised
interesting disclosures later on. The
motion to strike out the appropriation
for the Carlisle Indian school was de-
feated, after considerable debate-29 to
! 65. Ten pages of the bill were disposed
of today. The conference report on the
urgency deficiency bill was adopted.
The discussion relative to the mail
carrier service was Introduced by Mr.
Cromwell (rep., O.), who submitted some
remarks upon the failure OF the senate
| to place in the urgent deficiency bill
an appropriation for continuation Of the
service until July /. 1t was well known,
he said, that an order had been issued
to cut down the carrier service Feb. 1.
| The order had been suspended in the
hope that an appropriation would be
made in the deficiency bill, but as the
senate had declined TO make the appro-
priation. the order would probably go
into effect. He commented on the ais
elimination against certain cities, nota-
bly Cincinnati in the matter of carrier
