ing OF the session to-day. The limited time al
lowed for debate and the pressure OF members
for an opportunity to be heard was so great that
the leaders both sides were compelled to
farm out the time by minutes. This detracted
from the continuity OF the discussion. but In
tens1fed the interest The galleries were
crowded all day, and the cornbatants on the
floor were cheered by their sympathizers Many
Senators came over from the other erd Of the
Capitol TO listen TO the debate.

sounding the keynote OF the opposition assumed
the position that the last clause OF the resolu-
ton was In reality disguised declaration for

that the defeat Of the resolution another
step toward the establishment OF the gold stand
