The at tendance In the house this morning was not as largo as yesterday , many of the members , whose states had bcon called taking antngoof this fact to absent themselves . j to attend to departmental business. Mr. l5rteMllHn , speaker pro torn , took the chair promptly t noon and the Journal of yoitor- Uay's proceedings was road and approved. Tno spanker pro tern having laid boforotho liouso the senate Joint resolution , authorizing the soc.vjtary of the navy to transport contri butions for the relief of the suffering people of Itusjslo , Mr. Blount ot Georgia asked that It bo referred to the committee on naval af fairs. If anything was to bo dona It was easy to bo s > eon that It must bo deco at an early day. Ho therefore further requested that that commlltco have leave to report it nt any timo. To this Mr. Kllgoro of Texas objected , and hn contended that the resolution , under the rules , came under the Jurisdiction of tha committee on npproprlntions nud that It fthould bo referred to that committee. ' " The speaker pro lorn thought In the ab- F.cnco of rules the house could dispose of the resolution as It saw lit , that the llrst motion In order was ono of reference. Mr. McCrcary of Kentucky presented the petition o Cassius M. Clay , formorlv min ister to Kussln , in favor of thOjUnltcd States extending aid to the famine sufferers. Iteferrerl.to ApproprlntloiiK Committee. Mr. Blount of Georgia then moved that the house proceed to the immediate considera tion of the resolution. Mr. Kllgoro raised the point of order that thl.s cculd not uc done. The speaker ruled to the contrary ; but further ruled that n motion to refer would have precedence. Thereupon Mr. Kllporo moved Its reference to the committee ou ap propriations. Messrs. Blount and Herbert argued in favor of sending the matter to the naval commitico , whllo Mr. Kilioro thought it should go to the committee on up propria- ' tlons. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska hoped the appro- tion of $100,000 would bo stricken from resolution. If c-oiiRross was not om- jpwornd to aid the citizens or the people of Its own country in Nebraska , during a drouth , how was it empowered to carry corn raised this year In Nebraska to people of an other country ! Whcro would this Btopi How Bhow partiality to ono nation and not to othersf His republican fno.ids were claim ing that the MclClnloy oil ! had been throwIng - Ing out of employment many laborers in other countries aim that they were now in distress. If It was our duty to aid those whom the wisdom of God had brought to dlstrnss , how much more would It bo our duty to aid those whom the folly of an American congress had brought , to distress. [ Applause and lauzhtcrtl Mr. Hiliios of Now York strongly advo cated tlio resolution. Mr. Boatnor contended that congress bad no power to pass the resolution. Mr. Oatcs made a constitutional argument npainst the proposition. Mr. Boutcllo snld the house owed it to itself - self to emulate the senate and pass the resolution elution unanimously and promptly. Alilo to Aid Herself. Mr. Pendtoton of West Virginia argued that KusMa was perfectly able to aid her own subjects if she desired to do so. Uussla was . menace to modern civilisation and n threat i ponce. Some gentlemen had .spoken of .no friendship existing between the two countries. That friendship was the friend- ihlp existing between the Puritan and the blackleg. This house had boon elected on r ia 133UO of retrenchment and reform and ow It was proposed to begin by appropri ating flOO.OJO for-tho relief of Russian sub jects , when that money could bo applied , if applied at all , to the relief ot American cit izens within lOO miles \Vushincton. . Air. ICtlgoro withdraw his motion to refer tha resolution to the committee on appropria tions. Mr , Horbcr.v moved to refer it to the com- mlttco on naval affairs with instructions to that committee to raport It bade within ten days. Lost , 70 to ! )9. ) * The question then recurred on Mr. Blount's motion to proceed to the immediate consider ation of the resolution. This having bcon agreed to without objection the resolution was considered in the liouso as in comtmttoo of the whole. Hiiliimn ( ic'l.s In IIIH Work , Mr. Holman of Indiana moved to strikeout the appropriation clause. Ho could not sea any reason why the United States should charter a ship to transport the provisions contributed by nor citizens to the sufferers in Kussln. Tbu Russian government was amply /ublo to do this herself. ' Mr. Brockonrldgo of Kentucky sincerely \rustod that u democratic house would not bo guilty of drawing n distinction oatwcon using public money for running n public vessel and uslnc publio money for the chartering of a private vessel. If it were democratic to spend money at all , let it bo pont without higgling over such u small matter. If the government was going to offer this relief In good faith let it loud the ships out of the public treasury with tlio con tribution ! } of the teeming northwest. It was constitutional ; It was humanity ; therefore , It was American and therefore it was dem ocratic ; and for one ho was willing to take democratic rospouslbihty for It. ( 'onlil Nut Stand ( ho i\iieiisc. : * > Mr. Dookoroy ol Missouri called attention to tha foot that thu report of the secretary of the treasury showed that the expenditures of the government were exceeding the reve nues. The excess of expenditures over reve nues for the llrst hulf of the present fiscal year has boon M73.000. And an examination of the ofltdal report disclosed what the secre tary had not stated that more than $115,000- ( KKI of thu appropriations made for thu last fiscal year nnd for tlio first half of the pres ent tlscal year , wore unpaid.

In the senate today n largo number of papers were pre sented nnd referred , Among the bills Intro duced nnd referred was ono granting pensions to tbo soldiers of the Samlrolo and other Indian wars. Mr. Morgan offered a resolution directing the committee on foreign relations to Inquire into the progress made on the work . of the Nicaragua cr.nal. The resolution was laid upon the table , Mr. Morgan stating he would call it up tomorrow. The icnalo bill introduced by Mr. Stewart to provide for the free coinage of gold and silver bullion was taken up nnd Mr. Morrlll proceeded to nddrow the senate. Ho criticized iho speech heretofore made by Mr. Stownrt on the sumo sublcct and spoke in opposition to the bill for the frco nnd unlimited coinage of silver. Ho was now and aver In favor of maintaining both gold and silver m circula tion , and silver to iho cxlremcst boundary that could maintain it on a parity with [ old. Mr. Morrlll went on to say that national bank notes were rapidly being made to stop down and out to glvo room to silver paper. The original United States notes , or greenbacks , were likely to bo the next sacrifice demanded In order to glvo th < 5 whole Held lo silver paper. In ten years more , undoroxlstingstntutes , the government might have locked up In its subterranean vnullssllvcrlonggreualein amount , perhaps , of more that $100,000,000 , for all of which Its obligations , pavabio in coin , would bo out standing. No silver certificates , or treas ury notes Issued for silver bullion , were presented for payment in silver , but they worn paid in gold when the same was demanded. How long could they be thus kept on a parity with gold I Already the matter was of public and profound concern. When ever the gold in the treasury should vanish , these certificates could then bo piid in silver dollars , and these , as money , woro" known to bo not worth Ihelr toco value. As security for silver certificates or treasury notes which were to circulate at par with gold , they \vnro notoriously innJo- quato , in tnoy would bring no moro than 74 cents. Whntover tuivantugo from the unlimited froa coinage of silver might accrue to the corporate owners of silver mines when gold advanced to n premium , will bo brief nnd not permanent , cs no secretary of the treasury would bo will ing to sell United Stales bonds in order to obtain gold to keep our paper currency , paid out for silver , on a parity with gold. In conclusion Mr. Morrlll said : "I have nltemptod lo ilomonslrato that the deprecia tion of silver would bo both so great and universal that unlimited coinage could not be maintained on the pres ent siandard with gold , but would suddenly wreck the country by n silver revolution ; that unlimited coinage would interdic' nil international sil ver compacts ; that ihere Is no scarci'.y ot money In circulation ; that iho siivor standard would bo equivalent to a horizontal reduction of the tariff of B3 per cunt , It not more , nnd an equal ra- ducticn In nil pensions : that the parties to first profit by frOo coiiiHRO would bo the corporate owners ot silver mines onlv , nnd the parties to llnn'ly ' suffer the largest losses by it would be Iho great maiis of our people , into whoso hands the depreciated com and treasury notes would finally pass. " 31 r. Teller ofjColoriido. After quoting ii senlenco from the presi dent's message , to the effect that tbo bill bud been expected 10 brins the price of silver up lo $1.20 per ounce , Mr. Toiler challenged the executive for proof of that stalement , and as serted that only ono senator , alluding to Mr. Jones of Nevada , had intimated that tno net of 189J would brinir siivor up lo par. On the other hand moro than twenty senators had asserted that it would not bring silver to par. Ho had declared when the bill was under discussion that it was not a silver bill , nnd that it was not acceptable to the silver people. It would not do to say that that legislation had been put on the statute book by silver people. If disaster came , ns it would come if that policy was persisted in , it would have lo bo laid at the door of the men who had for fifteen years steadily resisted the general publio do- maud for Iho use of sliver on equal terms wilh gold. "But there was , " ho said , "an- olher proposillon coming from iho oxocutlvo. What was it ) It was that the United Stales should accumulate all the gold of Iho world , and Iho money centers of Europe would say that , the Uiliied States havlnc got all the gold , they woJld Join the United States in the work of using siivor monoy. Coming as it did from the great executive of Iho nation , ho ( Mr. Teller ) was bound to speak of il wilh respect , whalovor ho might think or feol. How was tha United States to accumulate the gold of the world ) Even when this coun try had nn abundance of crops and wasenjoy- ing great prosperity , geld had loft the coun try ut the rate of $1,000,000 a day. The United Stales Was a debtor nation , owing to Europe moro than $2,000,000,000. Moru than $5,000,000,000 tha senator from NevndaMr. , Stewart said. Moro than ? ) ,00o- 000,000 corialr.ly to bo conservative. How was the United Slalos lo got Europe to un load her coffers and lo send her old horej" Ho wished some friend of Iho now method would tell iho senate how to gat tho. gold from Europo. Ho would llko to see it coming nt iho ralo of 31,000,000 a day. But it was only another makeshift another method by wnich the inevitable should bo delayed when the U\o nntnls would bo put togoiher , or else thu use of stiver bo absolutely aban doned , except for subsidiary coin. What the silver men wonted was to Ifavo iho iwo moials put together , tied together by law , so they would bo on un equality at a ratio to ba established. .Many Could Have 3Imlo lletter Keport , Mr. Toiler referred to the fact of the presi dent having scut u Now York banker , Mr. Seligman , to Borlln in connection with thu silver question , ami suld that ho supposed that that was n delightful way of giving Eouiebodj n triple Europe ut the expense of iho government. Certainly all the benefit to be derived from It would bo by the individ ual Whoso expenses were paid. He , Mr. Teller , could name twenly men in puuuo uio wno couia nave gone lo Kuropa and mndo a report that would have boon of value ; but no such report would bo got tram bankers or moiioinotalists , IIo entered a protest ugainst the declaration of iho executive und of the senator from Vermont that tha stiver men were responsi ble for the legislation of 1890 , He has hlm self declared that ho would vote for it with extreme reluctance ; that ho would vote for It bacausa ho believed that it would rovlve drooplne industries , would stimulate busi ness and would bring hope and courage in Iho people of Iho United States. Ha did not vote for it because it wus U silver bill , for It was not. A certain publio man who had not yet taken his scut in tbo sonnto , meaning Air. Hill of Now York , had announced that the net of July , 1S90 , had to bo repealed ; but he , Mr. Teller , assorted that it would not bo repealed. Thcro was no considerable num ber of public mon in the country wno would duro lo repeal U. It might bu repealed if the same amount of money was given to the people , and that could only bu done by frco uolnaeo or by un unlimited issue of money at thu option of thu government. The latter would never laka pluco , and so iho act of July , IbUO , would not be repealed. it was on ihu statute book lo stay- fraught with all the dangers that intended itand ho admitted that these dangers were great. His friends of tbo other side ot the chamber bad not voted for the bill , although they were silver men , and although twenty.live of them had votau with him for frco coinage. They bad not been willing to take tha risk , but ho had taken the risk which ho was not than Insenslblo of , as ho wa not now. Meet * thuVimt of thu 1'eoplc. There was now 490.000.000 ounces of silver lu Iho country practically in usa as money ; aud every year added to it 54,000,000 ounces.

(1. , Jan. 0. ) They ara in tno saddle yet , the confeder ates have onttrcd upon tholr mission of re taliation anew. This time they have directed themselves to Hussia , who , ut a critical mo ment during the war ot 1SJI-5 , prevented an alliance between the confederate states and England by which the union would have bcun swiftly turned over to the rebels nt homo and abroad and union soldiers placed in the hands ot the hangman. It Is a matter of familiar history that at a moment during the war when both sldos werestrainmgovory nerve for vantage , the confederacy sent its agents to England and made every possible m-omisc for an alliance with that country , and that finally its overtures were accepted and the tor ins agreed upon ; that It was ar ranged for England to make a procipltato oemand upon the federal government to raise her embargo against the exportation of cotton to that country , which oxporta tlon would huvo given the confederacy unlimited sinews of war , and Immediately upon the re fusal , which would have followed , the Eng lish licet was to move into our waters und llro upon the harbor cities of the union states. In other words , England had made terms for Joining the confederacy in becom ing her active ally lu war. IliisHln'H Timely Aid. Her largest man-of-war were gotten in readiness , bur demand was mada and she was about to move , when suddenly two of the most formidable warships of Hussia up- Peared in Hampton Roails , within vlow of 'ortress Monroe. Va. Other Kussian war ships put into union ports , and Alexander II. notified the federal government that Rus " sia's scrvi''eH were "nt our disposal to main tain neutrality on the part of foreign govern ment ! ; generally and England lu particular. This stop ot Hussia paralyzad the con federacy , which was In high feather and fo t that the victory was already won. i'Vir twcnty-llvo years the * sleeping confederacy has been waiting to avonpe this interference which wrested victory from its bloody hands and it was not till today that its op portunity camo. The confederacy of the house , assisted by n number of douah-fnced rebels from northern states , indellnltely postponed the Joint resolution which was passed by the senate yesterday , without reference to committee , making appropri ations for the chartering of a vessel to send to the seaports of Uussla the caivo of breadstuffs - stuffs which hrtvo been contributed by the farmers of the urcat grain growing statoi of the west and northwest , for the starving Uussian peasants. This resolution might have passed the house on the same day it passed thu scnnto had It not been for th3 objection imtantly raised by ex-Coufeduruto General Buck Kllgoro o Texas. Opposed to Aiding the DeHtltute. This objection caused the resolution to lie over till toJay , thus giving the ox-confeder ates in the liouso time to organize their opuo- sition , to what would h'wo been a gratolul tribute not only to humanity but the historic friend and ally of the union. Confederate Colonel Dates of Alabama moved his sleeve less arm in frantic opposition and ox-Con- federates Herbert of Alabama and Boatner of Louisiana rendered effective aid. The causa of humanity was eloquently supported by such men as Haines of New YorK and Boutello of Maine. During the debate Rep resentative Bryan of Lincoln made his maiden speech , and , much to the shame of western members generally , ho opposed the resolution in virulent language. He declared that the republicans of congress had bolter bo feeding the laboring men of Europe tbo MclClnloy tariff bill had thrown out , of em ployment than sondlnc food to Ki-ssia. His farming constituency and others of the First district will probably not llko this satirical rommont upon their acts of charity. While they at Lome are contributing of thu'ir fojd and moans to the Russian peasants tholr representative in congress is working to de feat the plans of transporting the food to its desired destination.

' ! 3 of the entire amount bad been contributed by the insur ance men. The heroic efforts ot ths firemen undoubtedly s.ived the Insurance companies upward of $100UOO at the distillery llro and tlio boys are indiznant at the manner in which they have bcon treated. As the department is not a p.
