Silver Senators Refuse to Agree to
Any Limitation of Debate.
NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT.
W. II. Horoblower or New York to Bo A
eciate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Jaa.es Van Allen For Amlam
dor to China.
Washington, Sept. 19. In the senate
i substitute for the repeal bill was given
aotice of by Mr. Summer (Rep. "Wash.).
It permits the deposit of silver bullion
by its owners and the coinage thereof
into standard silver dollars, of which he
is to receive only the amount correspond
ing to its commercial value. The
amount is not to exceed 4,000,000 ounces
a month, or 200.000,0(10 in all. The dol
lars are to be legal tender and no cer
tificates are to be issued. Mr. Voorhees
'iefended himself from adverse criticism
:n the management of the repeal bill,
by showing the impossibility under the
rales of making greater haste. Ho
again asked that a day be fixed for a
5nal vote.
Mr. Dubois (Rep., Ida.), as a repre
lentativo of the silver men, objected in a
bitter speech, defying Mr. Voorhees to
force the issue. In reply Mr. Voorhees
said there was no use of talking of
cloture, as the discussion of that propo
sition would take up all the time of this
and the next congress. Ho therefore gave
aotice that tomorrow he would ask the
senate to remain in session longer, per
haps at night. Turning to Mr. Voorhees,
Mr. Hoar referred to the force bill and
ottered what was to be taken a threat.
Mr. Hoar called" it a bill to provide for
and permit the majority to rule.
Mr. Piatt gave notice of a cloture res
olution which he had read at the clerk's
desk. Mr. Teller said if the senator in
sharge of the bill would consult him he
would give a list of 15 senators who in
tended to speak, a portion of whom had
aot opened their, mouths. The senator
Erom Indiana could not say that this was
an inconsequential matter, for he was
on record against that and had said in
the past that the protection of silver wa3
more important than anything before the
senate. If he wanted night sessions Mr.
Teller warned him that the friends of
repeal must be present too. Friends of
silver were neither frightened nor
moved by the public opinion quoted by
Mr. Voorhees, because the rule of the
sountry not aggregated capital "of na
tional banks was opposed to the repeal
Df the Sherman act. If public opinion
was against' this or any other questions,
senators should be guided by their own
judgments.
Mr. Teller said he had also opposed.
ihe force bill and in his judgment if the
opponents of that bill had absolutely
throttled all other legislation, even ap
propriation bills, they would have been
justified. The pending bill he considered
more dangerous to the rights of the peo
ple than thek force bill, for , that was
limply a political measure while this
struck at our system ,of finance. This
was a more, important matter than
any presented to the people since
the war. Reconstruction and all that
attended it were inconsequential in com
parison. The senator from Indiana
would never be able to got a day fixed
for the vote. It would only be taken
after the debate was ended, and holding
night sessions would not improve the
sondition of the bill. After a few re
marks by Mr. Stewart, Mr. Mills took
the floor on the silver bill.
Home.
In the house objection was made to
Ihe resolution made by Mr. Flinn, call
ing on the secretary of war for informa
tion regarding the shooting of settlers in
the Cherokee Strip by the soldiers. The
bouso resumed the fight over the federal
election bill and tho yes and nays were
ordered on Mr. Burrows' old motion to
dispense with four of the committees.
Tho Democrats raised the point of no
quorum, there being 75, but a miss is as
good as a mile and the filibustering con
tinued. On Mr. Burrow's motion to reconsider
the vote, tho house decided to suspend
further proceedings, and the call was
laid on the table. The house then, at
2:45, adjourned.
The Tariff Hearings.
Washington, Sept. 19. A. H. Gal
lagher of New York opened the hear
ings before the ways and means com
mittee by presenting the petitions of the
Associated Trades and Workmen's Re
form league of New York, demanding
that the duties on vegetable prodncts of
the Bermuda islands bo removed or
greatly reduced so that the middle class
and working people may be able to pur
chase and use the fresh vegetables.which
are necessary for their health in the
early spring. Henry T. Oxnard of Ne
Ira ka spoke next against the repeal of
the sugar bounty clause of the McKin
ley till. Congress had no right, he said,
to rereal this section: the time it should
couum e nau ueen nxeu ana appiopria

bounty.

ELECTRICITY FOR ROBBERS.
The Novel Idea of a Tennesseean to Kill
Off Train Kobbers.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept 19. The
latest suggested use of electricity is the
prevention of train robberies by making
express cars burglar proof by so charging
the safe that any man touching it will
be electrocuted. Superintendent Young
of the Chattanooga electric railway is
the inventor. A small dynamo is to be
placed in each car and connected with
the door of the car, the safe and the car
steps. The safe will be larpo enough to
hold a man and will be of steel lined
with rubber with a perforated bottom
for ventilation. When a messenger is
threatened he steps into the steel box
and turns on the electric current and
when the robber touches the safe the
deadly current does the rest.

For Material to Make Them.
Forest City, Sept. 19. A check has
been put on the petrified corpse industry

the petrified fakes. Among the graves
molested are those of the McElroy fam
