BIG VOTE FOE SILVER
TELLER RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY THE SENATE
Forty seven Senators Go on Record for
the Measure While Only Thirty two
Oppose It Debate Is Lively Amend
ments Lost
Majority a Surprise
The United States Senate has put its
veto on currency legislation by the Fifty
fifth Congress After a debate animat
ed at all times and occasionally acrimo
nious which occupied the greater part o
the week the Senate Friday evening- by
the decisive vote of 47 to J2 passed the
Teller concurrent resolution The resolu
tion is a practical reallirmation of that
of Stanley Matthews in 1878 and is as
follows
That all the bonds of the United Staffs ls
hiicd or authorized to be issued under the
said acts of Congress hereinbefore recited
are payable principal and Interest at the
option of the Government of the United
States in sliver dollars of the coinage of
the United States containing 412y grains
each of standard silver and that to restore
to Its coinage such silver coins as a 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
All efforts to amend the resolution were
voted down by majorities ranging from o
to 29 Mr Lodges gold standard substi
tute being defeated by the latter ma
jority The vote on the Lodge amend
ment was Ayes 24 nays oi
The events of the day leading up to the
final vote were full of interest and impor
tance It was a field day for the orators
of the Senate no less than twenty five
Senators embracing the opportunity to
speak upon the subject under discussion
That the debate was interesting was at
tested by the attendance in the galleries
which were crowded throughout the day
and that it was important was evidenced
by the statements of several of the speak
ers that the discussion was but the pre
liminary alignment of the great political
parties for the contest of 1900
From 10 oclock in the morning until 7
in the evening the contest was continued
When the voting began it was evident
that party lines were being broken on
both sides of the chamber but it was on
the substitute offered by Mr Lodge
Mass that the most decided break oc
curred On the Republican side Mr Al
lison Iowa and Mr Burrows Mich did
not answer to their names on that roll
call and many of the Republicans voted
directly against it Upon the final pas
sage of the resolution some Republicans
who supported McKinley and the St
Louis platform in 1S9G like Carter
Mont Chandler X H Clark Wyo
Pritchard N C Shoup Idaho Warren
Wyo and Wolcott Colo voted for the
resolution
Mr Stewart Nev opened the discus
sion In supporting the resolution he
maintained that money whether it be sil
ver or gold or paper was a creature of
law the creation of money being inherent
in all independent nations lie said that
this statement had been upheld by the
highest tribunals and cited historical in
stances of such creation of money
Dollar Wanted by Silver Men
Mr Cannon Utah followed in support
of the resolution lie firmly denied that
the advocates of free coinage were in
favor of anything but a 100 cent dollar
We do not believe however said Mr
Cannon in the deified dollar of G rover
Cleveland which is worshiped by the
present administration
Mr Jones Ark said he made the
broad statement that no Democrat silver
Republican or Populist had ever declared
in favor of paying Government obliga
tions in a depreciated currency Mr
Jones continuing said I believe that
the peoples conviction upon this question
is more firmly fixed than ever before
They are determined to restore silver to
its status before 1S73 and Ave shall do all
we can to accomplish that result
The first speech of the day in opposition
was delivered by Mr Burrows Mich
He said that the Republican party was
pledged to secure if possible internation
al bimetallism and the President would do
everything in his power to carry out that
pledge Meantime the existing gold stand
ard would be maintained Mr Fairbanks
Ind followed against the resolution lie
said the purpose of the resolution was not
frankly expressed on its face and it was
only in the course of the debate that it
developed that the essential purpose was
to give an expression of the United States
Senate favorable to -the free and unlimit
ed coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1
Mr VVolcott Colo thought that any
Senator whatever his financial views
could vote for the Teller resolution as it
involved nothing except the carrying into
effect of the Governments plain obliga
tions
Mr Foraker O was opposed to the
resolution The enforcement of its terms
in his opinion would not bring about bi
metallism but would force the Govern
ment to a silver basis
Mr Allison spoke of the circumstances
attending the passage of the Stanley Mat
thews resolution in 1S78 To him it had
not meant at that time a declaration in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver Other coinage measures were
pending at that time and when one of
these came over from the house the Sen
ator from Colorado Teller voted to
strike out the provision for the free coin
age of silver and voted for a limited coin
age agreement Mr Allison declared that
the clear purpose of the pending resolu
tion was to commit the country to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at 1G
to 1 when it was almost axiomatic the
Senator declared that such a course with
out concurrence of other nations will lead
us inevitably to the silver standard alone
and to silver monometallism
Mr Tillman S G thought this discus
sion was simply the maneuvering of the
great political parties for position in the
great contest that Avas to be fought in
1900 The people he said would win in
that contest Mr Culloni 111 announc
ed briefly that he would vote against the
resolution because it was a step toward
free silver Mr Aldrich closed just as
the clock marked G the hour set for vot
ing and the vice president promptly anr
nounced that the voting would proceed
The trunk murder mystery Avhich for
nearly a fortnight had been baffling the
police of New Orleans has been cleared
up The murdered man was Rosarip Cu
imano and he Avas murdered in that city
The police are hunting for Vincento Az
zarilla his godfather who is accused by
the dead mans brother of having killed
him
WRECK OF THE DULUTH

rived off St Joseph from South Chicago
Wednesday night at 830 oclock and at
tempted to enter the harbor There Avas
a tremendous wind from the northwest
and a heavy sea was rolling The Duluth
kept on her course into the harbor and at
the puth of the river struck a bar and
was thrown heavily against the north
pier
The engineer says that when the boat
struck the engine jumped a foot and Avas
immediately torn to pieces The water
rushed in put out the fires and the fire
men barely escaped up the ladders in
time to save themselves The floor of the
cabin deck gave a mighty heave upward
and the passengers were throAvn into the
Avildest confusion The mammoth steel
arches on either side of the boat gave
STEAMER CITY OF DULUTH

quick time At midnight the creAV shot
a mortar line to the boat and the rescue
began The passengers and crew Averej
taken ashore in the breeches buoy one at
a time Most of the passengers and all
the creAV recovered quickly from the ex
posure
As the steamer struck the bar her bow
went deep into the sand Another sea
turned her stern to port and she re
mained in this position until the constant
pounding of the hull on the bar broke
her in two amidships The City of Du
luth cost 50000 tAventy four years ago
and was considered by marine men to be
a first class boat The cargo consisted
of 29000 bushels of corn the deckload
being merchandise and loO tons of flour
The loss AA ill be 05000
