At S o'clock the senate IJslness WS brought to a complete slanlll , 1) ' the faIlure to secure a qnornl on ' Ir. Aldrich's moton to go Into executive session. From that time until ad- lme ar- journment vain efforts were made to secure a voting quorum , although a quorum was present most or the time , many senators re- fuslnl to vote. ThIs tedious process con- tnuel until 9 o'clocle , \ \ hen Mr. Jones re- luclanty ) 'lllde and the long session closed WILSON . OF WAShINGTON. At the outset It was evident the rnls of ' tim sliver mcn had been augmented ly at' leas t one vole , as Mr. WIlSon. the new meni- her for Washlnglon had been sworn In ali tool his seat for the fIrst time as n enntor A report from the secretary of the treasury - was read In response to the resolution con- ! cernlng the need of legislation to meet the deficiencies. The secretary .tled that an avaloblo balance or $09.87,000 , exclusive or over $55.000.000 gold reserve I on hand . lie exPressed the opinion that It would le de- slrablo for the secretary of the treasury to have the authority to Issue and sell short , time bonds to meet denclencel The secretary - tary added , however that no such deficiency i ' \ exists or Is likely and he was or the : opinion that there would be ample revenue for the coming fiscal 'ear , The yeaa and nays were called on Mr Jones' motion to take up the silver bill today 50(1 ( It was carried 3G to 27. Senator George voted In the a rmalve and Wilson or Wash- inglon , who hall just been sworn In , also voted for the slv bill. After the bill had been taken up Jones or . Arkansas tried to get a time fixed for a vote , but senator objectcd. Mr. Jones gave notice ho would ask the senate to sit tonIght until a vote was reached. ' , Mr. Via ! then took the floor for a ppsech. I Is stated that an informal understanding bas been reached by which the silver bill will not be allowed to come to a vote In the senate. As Mr. Jones leading the silver men appears determined to halo 1 vote , a deadlock seems Inevitable. Mr. Blackburn , democrat at Kentucky , reported - ported from the conrerenc9 committee on the 'hiplomatio and consular bill tbot an agreement - mont had been reached on all the items except - cept the $500,000 for beginning the hawaiian cahle. The report was confirmed and a tur- I flier conference dIrected on the hawaiian cable item. Mr Cal , democrat at 1 lorlla , presented a petition of the World's Arbitration league , signed hy fifteen members at the British Parlament , favoring acton toward Interna- tonal arbitration. Mr. Cal offered n reEoluton , which went over that the senate seslons begin at 1 o'clock and continue until 5 o'clocl , with night sessions beginning at 8 p. m. Mr. huh , democrat ot New York , secured unanImous consent for taking up the bill to nld In the erection ot 1 monument nt Balt- mora to the Maryland heroes In the revolu- tonary wnr. The bill was passed and Mr. Jones , democrat or Arkansas , In charge ot tim sliver bill , was at once on hIs feet with If request that the senate proceed wiLls the regular order by the vote or last night. Mr Hill was opposed to Its dIsplacing morning busIness ' "Then , " said Mr. Jones "I will move to t ? tale It up at once. " I It was apparent that a vote was Imminent. Thereupon Mr. Voorheos , democrat or Indiana - ana , rosa and presented ) the credentials or 31r Wilson , the new senator from Washington - ton , and he was sworn In. Mr. Jones yielded further for tim resolu- ton or Mr. Gorman , which was agreed to , for senate sessions beginning at 1 o'clocl on and after tomorrow.

On the announcement or the vote \r , Jones asked that 4 o'clock bo fixed a8 the time for tahiiig lie ( vote Oi the lull. ' Mr. Aldrich , repubcn at Rhode Island , objected , saying that senators on the repub- Ican side hardly desired to see such ure- clplato action. "It Is perfectly e\'ltent. " salt ZIr . Jones , "that senators wi not have their views changed by any amount of talk The friends of the mesure Ire ready to vote and they hope thIs vote will be taken . 10po wi le without unnec- euary delay 1. therefore , give notice that 1 will Cldeator to secure a vote before the senate adjourns tonight " Mr , hub asked 11r , Jones It ho meaut that the bi was to delberately displace the great approprIation bIlls and keep this silver bIll before tie senate wihout regard to cause- . , elUlces , wIth the attendant dancers or de. foalnG some of the apllrollrlatol hills and compellIng an extra session of congrtar. . Jones replied that It any appropriation bills were retarded It would be leause a vote Oi the silver bill was not promptly taken lie reasserted that the frIends of the t bill were ready to vote a speedIly as poulb'e. ' TRYING TO ShIFT Tim lUHmm , "Tha senator la trying to shIft the bur. den , " responded Mr , lale , "It I by no meant or minor consequence that senator - ' on this aide of the chamber In list that the great appropriation bills bi Pued , I II the acton at those senators who now obtrude - trudo this new meaure before the senate that cause" the danger. I Is going to ta for th ( senator to suggest that faIr debate ot tactIcs. suCh " measures means delay and dilatory Mr , horns asked : "Will the senator ( lisle ) name the number at hour tie oppo- I nnts at this lull will require to stats their ' views ? The friends at the measure do not : II ht5irO tIme , 10 that I we can learn the time iloslred ! by the opposition an agreement for the vote may be reached , " "That Is hardly I real , pertinent , fair and square question , " answered Mr. lisle . "How can 1 tel In advance how long 1 wIll lIe- sIre to discuS the bill or what time others may , , , require " " \'iil the this ? " "Wi senator answer question saul Mi- Jones "Will any amount at talk for a moment change the result ? " "Probably not , " responded Mr. hale. "nut 1 thInk the friends ot the bill hall better 10 on wIthout these suggestions at dIlatory tactics. " "I need no more intimation , " said Mr Jones , _ _ _ . Mr. Aldrich urged that a bill or thIs Importance . portanco shaull noL be rushed through with. out debate. There would probably be numer- . cue amendments , offered requiring explana- ton and discussIon , I would 10 recognIzed that whatever the senate did the bill could not get the approval ot the co-ordinate branches or the overnment Mr. Jones said It was not for the senate t consider what the executive branch at the government would do. A majority In the senate desIred to vote. "As there appears to bc no dispositIon , " concluded lr , Jones , "to agree upon a time for n vole , 1 will asl the ( senate to re- main In session tonight until a vote Is laken. " This closed the efforts toward agreement on a tIme for a vote and inaugurated what allilear to be a contest of enlllrnce , VIL.\S DEI I N1m Tim l'REShiENT. Mr. Vias then addressed the ( senal lie spoke or lie president's several messages 10 congress and his constant appeals , with worrs 9Jlemn and , almost Pathetic In their ! earnestness , to deal with the ( fnancial can- , \lolS ( , But there had been absolute 1m- 110lency In congress to meet the perils or the cJunlr ) ' , Mr. Vlls then took up the events leading up to the recent bond contract. lie said acton was necessary to avert the calamity - lamity or a gold suspension. "I ew have known , " ho s.iid , "tho imminence cf the dIs aster to which the treasury came before tIme action WIS taken to avert the disaster. " lie Proceeded , to show that the ( withdrawals or gold were so great In January "that It brcame obvious to Ito ( treasury olclais that a systematic run was being made on Its gold. " After reviewing the run on the treas- ury prior to lie executcn ( or the contract for the ( sale or bonds and - the consequent Im- porlaton or gold from limropo ! , Mr. Vias took tip the present condition ot the treasury and showed how a great crisis hall been avcrled. lie saM the greater parlor the gold In the treasury when the run ceased was In lullcn and avaiable for redemllt0n 11rloses , and state that If the run had lasted the mints would have been unable 10 produce the coin with sufficient rap'dlty to meet the demand , , "it the drain had not been checked by the anncuncement or a contract , " he said , "wo should have been thrown 10 a silver basis or to Ito ( suspension of Ipecll payments , " and ho declared that lie president had been doubtful whether he would 12 able to hold on for another day. Few persons had been awarE or the peril , but there were sonic who appreciated I , and ho read the following telegram from Mr. Buchauan , the United States minister al Argentine , to show that the : English bankers understood the situation - REFUSED AMERICAN EXCHANGE. BUENOS AYI1ES . Feb. 4-Greshnm. Washington : The London and River bank . the larjjst In South America , under orders from London today refused all classes of American exchange Are you acquainted wHh ( this fact ? UUCUANAN. Commentng on the telegram , ho asserted lie conditon ( of affairs which cropped out In far oI Argentine woull have made Itself manlrest In all the European financial cap- Itals. ! r. Vias then turned his attention to the remedy avaIlable to meet this serious ! condItion. "It Is your fault , " he said , "that lie treasury condltcn was so critIcal that the dllays IncIdent to a popular loan would halo brought on a suspension or specIe payments In three days. The judgment or financial authoritIes would In ( line approve , If Indeed It had not already approved , lie acton ot the government In brIngIng nast supply or gold from abroad. " , A sharp colloquy occurred between Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Vias during the latter's speech lr , Aldrich said the recent bonds should have been sold at 10 per cent above what they brought "U the senator had stood at one end ot a cable as the ( secretary of the treasury stood , " said Mr. Vias , "and for days solicited all the great money centers or the world for their terms on our bonds he would not make such ' 'a statement. " Mr. Aldrich said that I he had the resources - sources avaiable In the treasury and yet had to pay 1 per cent premium on bonds le would "go out of businEss. " , "It Is a signIficant fact , " said Mr. Via addressing Mr. Aldrich "that the ablest men are employed to discharge the great transac- tons or the govermumnen ( . " There was n laugh at Mr. Aldrich's expense , In which he Joined. Mr. Vias proceeded : "So Imminent was the danger to lie ( treasury that from the b\c1 thunder cloud tIme lightnIng was almost ready to descend Was lie secretary to delay for n fracton ( or a cent ? There are times In the history of nations-ia peace as well a In war-when great consequences depend on quick acton ( , and 1m whose nrm Is palsied ' I or whose toot falters Is not worthy or lie trust. " REPELLED PERSONAL CI1AIGES. Mr. Vias took UII personal charges that had been made agaInst the administration . One at these was that Mr. Stetson , formerly a law partnsr or PresIdent Cleveland , was a : witness to the bJlll c.mtract. ( ( Mr. Vias said Mr. Stetson was the ( legal adviser at the Morgan banking house , and as such passed on tim contract ant signed ! It as n witness , The SEnator ( said It was lamentable ( lint such Blander shculd he brought Into dealing with great names : Ir. Vias ale repelled the slalement ( or lr , Lodge that the bond con- tract was time "blacl < est pago" In our fnan- cial history. At most It was but a maier ( ot uuwlslom [ amid In no senst was It black ! r.
