SENATE FAVORS SILVER.
Adopts the Teller Resolution by a
Decisive Vote.
Party Lines Broken ON Proposition
to Pay Government Bonds,
Principal and Inter-
est, In Silver.

Washington, Jan. 29.-After de-
bate, animated at all times, and occa-
sionally acrimonious, which occupied
the greater part of this week, the SEN
ate Friday evening, by the decisive vote
of AZ to 80, passed the Teller concurrent
resolution. The resolution is q prac
teal reaffirmation of that of Stanley
Matthews, in 1878, and is as follows:
THAT all the bonds of the United States
issued, or authorized to beissued, under
the said acts of congress herenbefore re-
cited, are payable, principal and interest,
at the option of the government of the
United States, in silver dollars of the coin
age of the United States containing Ape
grains each of standard silver; and that to
restore to its coinage such silver coins as
legal tender in payment of said bonds,
principal and interest, is not in violation
of the public faith nor in derogation of the
rights of the public creditor"
An Important Debate.
All efforts to amend the resolution
were voted down by majorities ranging
from to 90.
The events of the day leading up to
the final vote were full of interest and
Importance. 1t was field day for the
orators of the senate, no less than 25
senator's embracing the opportunity
to speak upon the subject under dis
cussion. That the debate was interest
ing was attested by the attendance in
the galleries which were crowded
throughout the day; and that it was i'm
portant was evidenced by the state
ments of several of the speakers that
the discussion was but the preliminary
alignment of the great political parties
for the contest of 1900. Many of the
speakers took occasion to criticise in
strong terms the utterances of Presi-
dent Mckinley in his speech in New
York city on Thursday night.

supposed to be very warlike, have made

And Rang Several Changes ON &
scriptural Sentence Before He
Got IL Right.

The minister had reached the critical point
in his missionary" sermon. He had fin.
ished his firstlies and secondlies, and with
one neat figure would link them to an impas-
stoned appeal that would strike his copgre-
cations hearts, and make their rocks How
like water.
'If," he exclaimed, at has truly been said
that he who makes two glades OF brass to
grow where one"
The puzzled look on the face Of deaf old
member in front pew led him to pause and
repeat:
THAT he is a benefactor who makes two
grades Of blass-"
Smiles throughout the house and his own
sense showed him there was something
wrong, but, with IN attempt at ightness,
he said, airily:
Gas meant, two braids Of glass"
The choir was now keen-eared, and the
pastor felt as IL ne had met Dewey. So he
shouted: 1.-TWO blads Of grace"
Then the senior deacon had pity. on him
and arose. My brethren" he spoke, our
pastor has been upset by the intensity OF his
emotions, and has tripped on two blades OF
grass."-San Francisco Examiner.

WILL BE A STRONGHOLD.
Uncie Sam VIII Fortlfy Hawaii and Make
IL q base for American Operations
In the Pacific ocean.

Washington, Sept s.-Possibilities
of international complications in both
the Philippines and Samoa have led
the administration to evolve q new
plan for using part OF the volunteer
army. Hawaii is TO be utilized as o
mid-pacific mobilization point for
United States troops. There the
government will send in the near
future not less than 5000 and
probably as many as 10000 men.
They will be permanently stationed
in Honolulu and there drilled, organ
lied and kept in high state Of dis
cipline. For the reason that Hawaii
is within comparatively easy distance
of Manila and the Samoan islands,
and that transports enough TO carry
this small army TO either point can be
cheaply and safely kept In the excel
lent harbors there, plans for the move
ment will be based on the idea Of per-
manency.

VIII HAVE LITTLE 10 SAY.
Uneie Sam WIN Hereafter Manage the Dis
position OF Troops, without Any suss
gestions from Governors

Washington, Sept. 8-Governors OF
states will have little to say In the
future regarding the volunteer troops
now In the field. II has been decided
by the president and secretary OF war
to manage the army without any sug.
gestions from outsiders Troops Sc
lected to be mustered ont will be dis
charged and those chosen for future
service will be retained In the service
regardless of the clamor to have them
released. Interference ON the part OF
governors of the states has democrat
lied the troops In many instances.
The war department selected certain
troops to be mustered out and after
the orders became public the state
chief executive had them rescinded.
As the orders were already
known to the soldiers they began
preparations for going home and
were buoyed mp by the prospects
of leaving the army. When these or
ders were countermanded there was q
depression Of spirits in the regiments
and in some cases infraction Of dis
cipline. Another change has been de-
cided upon. No more sick soldiers
will be sent home to die on the road.
All the sick men will be detained in
the hospitals until an army surgeon
decides they are able to travel and
will not suffer q relapse. Soldiers
who were slowly improving frequently
brought all their will power to bear to
pull themselves together in the hope
Of making q good appearance. This
condition of affairs was responsible
for some of the stories Of ill-treatmeni
and starvation.

United States officers. II Is also
stated by the secretary that the United
States insists upon conformity 70 its

the authority Of Spain In Cuba must
be recognized where its flag still

MAJ. WEBB c. HAYES. Of Ohio, has
proposed plan TO President Mckinley
for the reorganization of the national
guard under military law. The plan
provides that the president shall ap-
point IN adjutant general for each
state; that as many bodies Of militia
shall be raised In each state rs clrcum-
stances require, and that all officers Of
such militia shall be nominated by the
governors Of the various states They
would then be under the direct control
Of the national government, and the
difficulty experienced when the guard
