There was intense interest during this
vote, as it presented a more direct issue
than had been anticipated. 1t was seen
at the outset that party lines We're
broken. Chandler, Carter and other Re
publicans voting against the amend
ment. As the vote closed, Chandler,
noting some Republicans in their seats
who had not voted, asked that the names
of the senators not voting be read.
The clerk read slowly. Allison, Bur
rows ana there being no response the
result as above was announced
Quay now came forward with a new
ame endment, as follows:
Strike out all after the enactin-
clause and insert: That all the bonds or
other obligations of the United States

the said acts of congress hereinbefore
recited should be paid, principal and in

us inevitably to the silver standard alone
and to silver monometallism.
Gray of Delaware, Democrat, urged
that the resolution could accomplish
nothing and was a hollow expression sc
far as affecting the character of money
in which our bonds were to be met.
Gray did not regard that subject in
any way involved in the resolution, so
that he would vote on the question Who'll
ly without reference to the silver issue
brought into the debate. q
Allen of Nebraska insisted that the
free coinage of silver would restore the
parity between gold and silver.
Thurston of Nebraska said that the
legal obligation of the government was
set forth in its contracts, and there is no
need now to restate the terms of those
contracts. He would he said, so far as
his power was concerned, follow his par
ty in its declaration TO maintain the par
ity of all the dollars of the government.
He pointed out that since the Repub-
lican party came into power every dol
lar paid to labor, whether it was silver
or paper or gold. was as good as the best
dollar ever coined.
Tillman of South Carolina thought
that this discussion was maneuvering bv
the great political parties for position in
the great contest that was to be fought
in 1900. The people. he said, would win in
that contest, as they had won in everS
fight they had ever made for freedom
THE AMENDMENTS
Then came the Lodge amendment, as
follows:
That all the bonds of the United
states issued or authorized be issued un-
der the said acts of congress. hereinbe-
fore recited are payable. principal and
in gold coin or its equivalent:
and that any other payment without
consent of creditor would be in violation
Of the public faith and in derogation of
his rights"
Vest moved to table the amendment.
Il hope the senator will withdraw the
motion to table, interposed Wolcott,

gold"
Vest consented and the vote was taken
directly on the Lodge amendment, re-
sulting in its defeat, "a to SO, as follows:

sibiity of striking silver from among
the money metals
He felt that amid the confusion eX-
isting it was clear that the people de
manded the restoration of silver to coin
age, and he thought that such restora-
ton would be as the delivery of mankind
from war. pestilence and famine.
Mr.. Foraker of Ohio thought the reso-
lution's meaning ought to he made clear
it being evident that there was a great
diversity of opinion on that point. He
did not think the resolution was any
more than decaratory of the law. and
that was as far as the declaration went
He thought the statement in the resolu-
ton that such coinage was contemplated
by it was not in derogation of the rights
of creditors, and could only mean the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. He
was, therefore, opposed to the resolu-
ton.
Chiffon of Texas, in a legal argument,
advocated the restoration OF the stand

use in the payment of the governments
obligation. He held that the pretenslon
of the bondholders, that they We're en-
titled to be paid in better money than
were the pensioner the mechanic and
the laborer, was not warranted by facts
or by laws.
Nelson Of Minnesota stated that his
objection to the resolution was that it
ignored the duty of the government to
maintain the parity between the metals,
as imposed upon it by law
Allison spoke of the circumstances at
tending the passage of the Stanley Mat
thews resolution in 1878. To him. it had
not meant at that time declaration in
favor Of the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver. Other coinage measures We're
pending at that time. and when one of
these came over from the house the SEN
ator from Colorado CTeller voted to
strike out the provision for the free
coinage of silver and voted for the linn

clared that when he was being gibbeted
ON this crossroad Of public opinion for
alleged Inconsistency, he wanted it
known that the Colorado senator and
the Ohio senator who had introduced the
resolution of 1878 mad voted to strike out

sumed the entire time of two private bill
days. The friends of the latter measure,
under the leadership of Mr.. Cooper

the motion and defeated it on rising
vote-72 to 129. In continuation of the
flibustering tactics begun last week.
Mr.. Dalzell secured the floor.
A roll call developed such an over

make terms with the friends of the bill,
and it was finally arranged that after
debate until o'clock, a vote should be
had directly on the bill.
Those who participated in the debate
were:
In favor of it-Messrs. Dinsmore,

At o'clock the bill was favorably re-
ported to the house, and on the demand
of Mr.. Dalzell the vote on its passage
was taken by yea and nay. The bill

OUT OF LAW AFTER YEARS.
Alexander AIore's Estate settled-Mrs. f

Some weeks ago F. H. Rowe was

More. 1t seems that the estate which
has been in litigation for the past five or
six years is at last to be turned over to
the heirs, Mrs. Rowe, whose maiden
name was More, being one of them.
Mr.. Rowe will return home IN about
three weeks, as at that time the entire
matter will be settled. The San Fran
cisco Examiner says concerning it:
''After five or six years. litigation the
estate of the late Alexander P. More, in

heirs, received a telegram yesterday an
nouncing the surrender of j. F. More of

"There were originally nine brothers

A GLAD CHRISTMASTIDE
HOW 1T WAS SPENT IN DALLES
CHURCHES.
Summer weather Failed to Lessen It's
Observance, and Santa Claus Got
Here just the Same.

Il Somehow since childhood with our
thoughts of Christmas comes a picture
of housetops covered in snow and church
spires glittering through the light,
which everywhere shine from windows
whose illumination tell of the cheer
within the homes where this merriest
time of all the year is celebrated by old
and young. And 1t is difficult to imagine
st. Nicholas meking his advent except
he comes in the old-time manner, with
sleigh drawn by reindeers. OF late years
Dalles people have been doomed to dis
appointment in this line and Sunday the
thermometer stood at 40, while on Mon
day it was 81 degrees, the warmest in
many years.
However it seems that Christmas was
more generally observed than in any
previous year for some time, nearly every
Sunday school having its exercises and
tree, delighting the children and making
the older people happy in seeing their
enjoyment.
The Congregational church was never
so prettily decorated as upon the occasion
ofthis years exercises Saturday evening,
the young ladies and gentlemen taking
particular pains to make this the crown
ing year in that regard. After short
program, principally of song. the tree,
which was very beautiful in it's wealth
of pop. corn and other decorations, was
relieved of its burden of gifts, every
pupil receiving something therefrom. A
ho nf
names, few weeks previous to the ex-
ercises, and each mem ber of the school
made a small gift to the one whose name
was drawn, thus preventing any from
being forgotten and engendering the
spirit of generosity and love among the
pupils.
At the Episcopqt church a Christmas
festival was the order of exercises for
the same evening, when the church
looked very pretty in its decoration of
evergreen and holly. Across the front
of the building was a ''rood screen"
covered in evergreen and upon which
were hung bags of candy and a present
for every child in the room, whether
member of the school or visitor. These
were gracefully gwen OUT Dy y. ..
Schenck and Arthur Clarke, whose
agility rivaled that of any st. Nick who
might climb down the chimneys most
difficult to descend. Very appropriate
was the program and the carols most
beautiful.
A very unique idea was carried out at
the Calvary Baptist church, consisting
of two Christmas trees, between which
was arranged chimney and fire place.
Down this came Santa Claus and seeing
everyone, seemed somewhat surprised
and started back. finally deciding to re-
turn ard distribute the presents which
he found on the trees. The different
numbers on the program which had
been arranged were excellent, and each
little tot and grown up boy and girl per-
formed their part exceedingly well.
Sunday night the Lutheran church
was packed with children of the Sunday
