Washington, Feb. l5.-Notwlthstand nd :
ing that this is the last day OF debate on
th dasnclsl bill. few people were in the
galleries. When the financial bill was
laid before the senate, the pending ques.
tion was the amendment offered by the
insnce committee. reading ss follows:
THE provisions OF this act are not In
tended 10 place any obstacles In the way
OK the accomplishment OF International
bi-metallism, provided the same can be
secured by the concurrent action OF the
leading commercial nations OF the world,
aad nj ratio which shall insure per
msnence In the relative value between
gold and silver"
Hoar, Mass said the double standard
had not only been accepted by the people
but had been embodied In the constitu-
tlon itself, but when by the action OF
other nations this country was forced 10
accept the single standard, IL was forced
10 accept the most valuable metal. We
should get a double standard when the
opportunity came. There was, therefore,
no pretense or hypocrisy In the pending
amendment.
Morgan. (Ala denounced the pending
amendment "as a miserable makeshift.
intended TO cover the lacerations OF
wounded conscience"
Plat (Connecticut) said that whatever
may be said about "imperialism" or the
"tOiling masses" the issue will be the
same AZ four years ago whether or not
we shall have silver standard In the
United States.
Teller offered the following substitute
or the committee amendment: "The
people OF the United States are In favor
Of bi-metallism and desirous OF an inter-
national agreement with the great COM
mercial nations OF the world that will
admit the use OF both gold and silver at
such established ratio AZ 10 maintain a
parity between gold and silver coins. and
the efforts OF the government are hereby
pledged 10 endeavor 10 secure such inter-
national agreement ~ speedily as posi-
ble" The Teller amendment was de.
fested, % to 40.
The committee amendment was
adopted, 40 to 30.

THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
Unique Method Of French Chef Who
Made q Most Palatable
Salad.

At one of his famous little dinners prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
bis, guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and understandable. This was SO
faint that one guest declared: It's not a
taste at all; only smell"
At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked:
My man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular: At any rate, we'll see"
The Frenchman soon appeared, and was
visibly affected, not to say elated, by the
compliments. --.
