The Interest In the financial discussion In congress was trans ferred to the senate toJny , when Senator Voorhecs of Indiana made his speech Justi fying his position lu voting for the uncondi tional repeal of the Sherman act. Ever slnco the distinguished chairman of the senate flnanco committee voted for the report of the repealing bill the frco coinage people have felt the blow severely nnd they were out in great numbers today to hoar the In diana senator explain his situation. NoaVly one-third the entire membership of the house was gathered In the roar seats to listen to the senator's arguments and the galleries above were packd to suffocation. Itlnml'n Woeful Look ) . Chairman Bland of the house committee on coinage occupied a seat Just to the loft and nearly facing Senator Voorhees , nnd gazed ruefully at him during the entire course of Ills speech. The speech of Senator Voorhees was one of his greatest efforts , and while the scnntor did not nbat'o one Jot his past bime tallic record , the bunion ot his argument was directed to proving the repeal of the Sherman act was nn abstract proposition which , as a necessity , could have no material effect on the merits of bimetallism as a public iiollcy. Probably not slnco the days when Ingalls' ' magnetic eloquence drew such crowds to the Bonato has such an assemblage gathered it the seats reserved for the public in tno senate chamber as that of today. Not a oat remained unoccupied when Mr. Voor- hoes took the floor , and all along the walls were men nnd women standing. When Mr. Voorliees arose there was i bustle of expectation and n murmur ran through the gallor'.cs , which quickly sub sided until the chambar was perfostly quiet The senator spoke in a strong , clear voice which was perfectly audible , nnd through out the speech ho was given the strides ! attention. Mr. Allen gave notice of nn amendment which ho will offer to the bill reported b ; Mr. Voorhoes discontinuing the purchase ol silver bullion. It is proposed to ndd to tin repealing clause of that bill a provision tha hereafter standard silver shall bo coined n the several mints of the United States inti dollars , halves , quarters and dimes at tin present ratio of 10 to 1 , under the same con dlllons as to mintage and other charges en forced In relation to the coinage of gold tjiat the secretary of the treasury shall without unnecessary delay , coin all silvoi bullion , owned by the government inti staiidard"silver dollars to bo a legal tender UHJrjlVoorlie , < ' Great Ellort. Mr. Voorjiccs of the tlnanco committe , then tocfk. tlo lloor and addressed tin Bomitfi , , lif advocacy pf .tho bill roimrte * l > ir him 'discontinuing' purchase o Silver" bullion. The speech had beet prepared by him In advance , nnd ho delivered livered ll from typewritten sheets. But i was spoken witn the energy and vohemenci Mr. Voorhees has over displayed in a speed before the sonato. Ho had not boon speak ing more than fifteen minutes when hi noticed Mr. Stewart rise us if to ask a qucs lion or to interpose a remark , and ho prc vented that by stating that ho declined ! i advance to yield to any interruptions , am that ho would have to appeal to the dial for protection in his right to tlio lloor. "You will have plenty of tlmo and chance at me , " ho said , addressing the Novad senator. "J will bo a nuked object hero an will answer all questions , I hope I wil have n little pcacu today for about an hour.1 Ho then resumed tho''speech , but had no made much further progress before ho wa again interrupted , tills time by n tremcndou burst of applause from the gallery , foHou ing an encomium on Mr. Cleveland. Thi breach of the proprieties was checked b Vice President Stevenson , who threatcnc to have the galleries cleared if the otTens should bo repeated. L.OSB of Cocllldonoo lu the Flimiiolitl World Resuming after the last Interruption , li explained that the action of the president i convening un extra session of congress wa owing to loss of confidence In the linanck world. This loss of confidence , ho said , wn not In the credit of the government , whicl was better today than that of any other 01 the globe. Ho praised the administrate for its refusal to gratify tUu demand of tli capitalists for an ls. uo of 100,000,0(1 ( more bonds. Ho summarized th Clements of the nation's financial strcngt t within its own borders nud regretted tlui legislation had checked our foreign trud and had left us today without a aonimei-clii friend in the world. Hu had faith that th plant evil which had crippled the common : of the country would ha removed with otiie evils which challenged attention and action If the true greatness of tlio country wor studied It would bo seen that financial panic nnd alarms could have no foundation hero. There was another exceedingly poworfu test of the government's credit. Money wn simply a medium for exchange ; mono wns a creature , congress Its creatoi Gold nnd its alleged intrinsic value went fc naught ns circulating medium unless th com bore the stamp of the govornuien The same oftlclnl stamp on silver or paper 11 once ennobled them to un equality with got In purchasing power , no matter how debase or valueless thu material may have bccom as commodities by sinister or unwise legi : latlon. Never but once had these currencies boo \ discredited by the government , and tin would never happen again. It was the duty i the government to furnish a sound , rollabl constitutional money for the people , Hum in uu Kvll Hour. Wo are now controntod by a law wlthoi precedent or parallel in American history ; law which has resulted In ilnaticlal paul alarm and distress , und for whoso appe congrc&s has been convened. Ho characto ized It ns a compromise born in an evil houi n incas ire to induce producers of silver surrender their rights to free coinage. I creators now stoou roidy to leave tt victims of tholr misplaced confidence emp handed without thu privilege of coinii their silver or soiling it as a morcanti commodity to the government , Silvi degraded to n commodity could no long hold Its place with gold us purl of the spec basis of this country , und it was no reeling , staggering under the blo\ \ until Us enoinlos predicted with Ji Us speedy destruction. Ho congratulati the uomouraoy that not a single democrat vote hud been cant hi favor of the act. As blniptalllsv ho voted against the passage < the bhorman act and for the sania reason 1 would now vote for Us ropenl , Ho avowi his unshaken faith that silver would roma forever ono of the world's great and potei lind potent factors lu business transaction It would neither bo demonetized nor drivi away from the habitations of the greui < musses of mankind , Thu question was uskod whether vet hould bo given for unconditional repeal the law before a substitute hud been agre upon. Ho was In favor of eradicating t confessed evil from the body of our lai with no other condition than his right ai ireo ngency to support and secure , In co ncctum with iti repeal , orafterwnrds by I dependent measuresa sound linaneui s.vate. . embracing the coining of silver on co.u lUy with gold , which bad been t declaration of the Chicago democratic plat form. Champion * the 1'roiililent. Mr. Voorhecs defended the president from the charg6 of Insincerity In connection with the silver plank of the party. Ho said the president had never recalled , re tracted or explained a single word of his loiter of acceptance , which was Just as binding as when ilrst given to the world. . Ho was willing to stake his faith In the truth and honor of Grovcr Cleveland , nnd hU well known fidelity to pledges when once nindo. Ho paid n high tribute to Secre tary Carlisle and said : "God hole the demo crntlo party If we arc to turn our backs on such men ns the president nnd his secretary. " Ho spokoof ratloas n , matter of detail which concrcss would establish on n fair basis. Ho said th'i coplo would not tolerate n single gold standard , and then ho addressed himself to n denouncement of the selfishness nud greed of the money power which , had done so much to aggravate the financial situation. Hu spoke In favor of the present pension system ns helpful In the distribution of money : urged the necessity of thogoveniment providing n now circulating medium In place of that furnished nt present by national banks. Ho favored , In addition to money is sued by the government , a currency , properly guarded , issued by state banks. Ho urged the necessity of financial Icglsla- . tlon which would furnish n suftlclent volume of currency on practically a specie basis , guaranteed by public honor ; to deprive Indi viduals , corporations or syndicates of the power to causa fluctuations in the amount of different currencies In circulation ; to maintain on a parity gold , silver nnd paper money ; to settle the status of silver money by authorizing it to form a portion of the specie basis required by the con stitution for chartered banks ; to overthrow the dangerous centraliza tion of the money power now exist ing nt- too many centers In the hands of u few Individuals by giving to the people of the state the right of home rule on the subject of money , thus securing them homo circulation. The speech occupied an hour and thirty- live minutes. After Mr. Voorhecs took hit seat ho was congratulated by many senators. The gal leries then began to thin out and a majority of the senators left the chamber. Other .Speaker * . Debate was continued by Mr. Dubols m op position to the bill. What vote of the people ple , ho asked , had Instructed congress to abandon bimetallism ! There was not a sena tor on the floor , ho said , who had not been elected ona platform which pledged him to mmotalllsni. No party had declared at any convention in fnvor of monometallism and nonq over would. Ho insisted , most ear nestly , that no representative of the people had moral right by his vote or on his own Judgment to place the country on u gold standard. It would bo a betrayal of the people. Mr. Palmer argued In support of the bill. It could not fairly bo asserted , ho said , the that president did not favor the use of both gold nnd silver as the standard money of the country : nor did tt follow , because the president had failed to say a word in reference to bimetal lism In his recent message to congress , he would disapprove of legislation providing fein n coinage of both metals that would bo ol equal exchangeable aud intrinsic value. He expressed thu opinion that the great major ity of tlio people would not only approve , but would rapturously applaud legislation tc this end. Ho believed , however , that In the present state of the market It was boyonil the power of any man to fix the ratio ol silver to gold , because silver was in a state of .fluctuation. The present ratio should be ndjicrcd to , the Sherman law repealed and * lhe use of silver coin encouraged unu thpc 'the influence of events upon the two metals might bo watched with the hope that tlu country .might reach the point where both "gold nnd silver could bo coined nnd usct without discrimination between them. Proved .Much Tulk. The * hill having been laid aside and the cane of the Montana senatorahip laid bo fore the senate , u motion to lay the matter aside informally and to proceed to the considera tion of the bill to increase the national banl circulation was made by Mr. McPherson The motion provoked much talk , in thi course of which Mr. Voorliees gave notice that if it should turn out the national haul bill , and was to bo used to delay action or the bill lo repeal the Sherman act , hu shoult move to sidetrack it. Ho thought it botto that the senators should bo frank with oacl other. * Mr. McPhcrson's movement was ngrcet to yeas. 40 ; nays , 10 and the national banl circulation bill was accordingly taken up the question being ou the amendment offerci' by Mr. Cockroll for the redemption of sucl 2 percent bonds us may bo offered and foi payment in a now ssuo of treasury notes. Mr. Stewart was the Ilrst to take th ( lloor , and ho sot out to antagonize some ol tlio positions taken in Mr. Voorhees' speech He compared the position of the Indiana ! to that of a Missouri Judge who , iu a dec ! sionon the fugitive slave case before the war was said to have "given the law to thonorU and the negro to the south. " After a brief debate the amendment weni over without action. A resolution was offered by Mr. Peffer am went elver until tomorrow , calling on tin secretary for a report as to whethornationa banks in New York. Boston and Philadolphii were being conducted in violation of law whether they were payirg depositor's check promptly In lawful money and whether the ; were demanding rates of Interest highc than provided by la v for loans of money 01 for the discounting of notes. After ti short executive session the sonatc adjourned. IN TIIK HOUSE. .Many Members Olvu Their View * on th Silver Onestloii. WASIIINOTOX , Aug. 22. The financial dis cusslon In the house today was , for the mos part , monotonous , the greater interest beni ; centered in the senate. Mr , Hopkins of Illinois fuvoreJ uncondl tional repeal , stating that although ho cam from an agricultural district ho would oj pose ovcry free coinage amendment to b proposed by Mr. Bland und his friends. Tho. urprlso of the day w.is the speech o Hepburn , who was comptroller of the cut rency under the Harrison administration Ho disagreed with his party colleagues , an emphatically declared against the repeal c tha Sherman law. That Inw , ho contendec hud been beneficial in its effects and : should not now bo repealed. Brlckner , doipocra , of Wisconsin , oponc the debate by a speech in favor of the ri peal of the Sherman law , Mr , Mnllory of Florida , was opposed t the unconditional repeal of the purchuslu clause of the Sherman act and was also 01 posed to the free coinage of silver nt th ratio of 10 to 1. Ho regretted that som middle ground had not been reached and I was with hesitancy that ho would vet aftirmatlvely uion | any of the proposition presented to the houso. Hu attributed t the tariff the creator share of the preset depression , but the demonetization of sllvi would still further separate the wealth classes from the working men. Nut Frco from t'artltuiulilp , Mr , Hopkips of Illinois , road some po ttons of the prcstdcut's message and con mended them. Tim republicans hud com hero to meet their democratic colleague : not as partisans , but as representative : They had come to "meet the demands of Hi people iu this emergency and to show tli country that sectionalism and partUanstil would not control either of thu great pa ties , Tins was the hope that- had been li dulgcd tn , not only by the republicans , hi by the people. They were were all fated I disappointment , ho loared.- The Bland res Union , fixing the order of business , hud bee adopted without consultation with a sing republican , It had been Uja result of dun ocratlo partisan consideration.

There will bo n largo contingent of ranipanl free coinage men in the convention , nud thcj will make a determined nnd desperate Ugh ! for a silver platform. In every county con vcntinn so far held efforts have been inadi by free colnauo advocates to plodRO the dele gallon for silver with varied results.

It was tho'contontioii of coun. scl fortho Indians , that they hold the lands they occupy by suffrance only , and therefore neither they nor the secretary of the inter ior has any right to lease any part of them for mining or any other purpose. They argued the only way in vhich the asphalt deposit on the reservation , can bo rendered accessible is by restoring the lands to the public domain nnd that power to restore the lands by executive proclamation is beyond question. .
