i ATT1.I3 Conilllloin ucie very much
ngilnil IheellPit , of cattle today In the
HIM place time vvai a fair run , though
I'v no means l.irge Then Chicago reported
a huge run and u slow und lower market ,
and to still fnithcr discourage buyers them
rvas -tte-adv fall of snow , making tbo cat-
tlt VNhlch we 10 none too good to com-
inimc with , look even worse than they
r-alb were Fneler such circumstances It
Is hardly necessary to add that the market
lie a whole was far from what sellers , like
to rxpi ilence
liuyers v\ere late In getting out Into the
vards and It was still later before much
Jiu-iliii"-s was acconipllHhed When bu > ern
uml Millers did get togethci on a trailing
bnnls It was at pi Ices that were generally
10e lower Ihan the close of last weeU The
iniiike I was a drag from turl to finish , nnd
as Is apt to be the case undci such condi
tions ihe market was Inclined to bo un-
c\on nome cattle soiling to better ad-
vanl cge than others of about the same
klnc'
1 Out of ai.nno head of cattle received at
C'hlcigo the top reported was onlv given
as $ ( ) which uliovvs that they arc getting
the price down right along
Pule bets stock suffered In about the
1ffi name propoi tlnn as fat cattle , and like fat
inltle the market 'vas uneven While the
general market could safel > be quoted lOe
lower than Friday , there were cases where
Hale-s of nice stuff did not show that much
i > ff while In other cases buyers bid more
ffi than Hint mm h lower The market was
very slow and It was late before tbo pens
were cle-aiecl
The trade In Mockers and feeders was
naturally lower owing to the unfavorable
weather and the lower beef cattle market
Plinre weie very few buyers In from the
country and speculators vveie weak buyers ,
HO that Ihe maikct was slow Hid lower
all around llepiesi'iilatlve sales.

WASHINGTON. Fob 12 Moro tlnh
Interest was munlfeenc ! today In the senate
debate on the llnanclal bill. H was known
that the opening day of the Inst week of the
financial discussion was to be marked by
the delivery of at least three speeches , by
Wolcolt of Colorado. Uutlcr of Norlh Carolina
lina and Hlklns of West Virginia , nnd In
addition to a largo ailendance of souatori
tl-e public galleilcs were well Illled.
.Mr. Allen's icsolutlon , Inlroduccd lasl Sat
in day , expressing smpatb > with the Doers
went over without losing Us place.
The llnanclal bill was then called up and
Mr. Hlklns addressed the senate. Ilia open
ing sentences were a reference lo Iho speech
delivered on Saturday by Mr. Chandler Ho
said "That w as u speech which w ould bo ills-
ttlbuted b > hundreds of thousands , not by
Ills own political associates , but bv bis polit
ical enemies "
He commended the general provisions of
th > bill , but crltlcibcd Ihe sixth section , which
provides for the funding of the public debt
Liion this piovislon he said In part' "Tho
lefrndltiE of tbo public debt Is not nccea-
sarlly a part of the bill. Why ul\ the
subject of establishing and defining the
mot clary standard and strengthening tbo
public cicdlt with what mutt at best under
the piovlslons of Hie bill bo an experiment ,
am' hlch. If It should fall , would prove
lu.rtful to the general purposes and policy of
the mcasuro and the public Intercut. The
icfiindlng of the public debt In purely a
pijctlcal or admlulslrattvo question. It
should bavo no plico In our policies or bo
connected In any wise with political ques
tions or measuiei. The refunding of the
public debt should be made the subject of
a scpalato bill , to be considered nnd passeel
when our bonds rnatuic and monetary condi
tions may be entirely different. "
When Mr Hlklns had concluded bills on
the general calendar were taken up and the
following passed
At 2 o'clock consideration of the currency
bill was icsumed and Mr. Wolcott addressed
the senate
Hotel ring to the first section of the senate
bill declaring the gold dollar should continue
to stand as the standaid unit of value , .Mr.
Wolcott said :
( IHUIKCM No ronillllnn * .
"Of course it will , and It would so con
tinue If this boctlon were eliminated from
thu bill. We might as well gravely pass a
law providing that a jard shall continue
to be thtco feet In length. Its ic-enactment
changes In no single tespcct existing law
The section hah been a law since 1S73 , and is
haidly worth dlbcusslon now.
"The provision lequlring the pajment of
the principal and Interest of the now bonds
In gold represents , I think , a mistaken view-
as to our national credit I cannot hut ex-
ptcss my regret that the committee felt
that the exigencies of the money market re
quited a depirUirc fiom Ihe terms hereto-
foi used In goveinment obligations "
Adverting to national banks and to the
provisions of the bill which afford them
opportunllj lo inciense their circulation to
the par value of all government bonds de
posited , Mr. Wolcott said
"Succeeding years have only more firmly
Iriplanted them as an Integral part of oiir
fu an : al s > stern , not to be uprooted with
out a more radicalChange , of policy than
anv paity or administration would care to
attempt "
"It Is estimated that within the next few
months at least $200,000,000 of additional
national bink circulation will follow ino
passage of the bill. There Is no department
oj human Industry today In Ihe United
Slates and in the rest of the woild as well
that is not suflering because of nn insufil-
clcnt volume of mono and which would not
be benefited by a legitimate enlargement of
tbe currencj. 'Under our existing gold stand-
aid thcie hcemu to he no olhei nvailaolo
method of giving us this greatly needed ! u-
cieapo thin the one favored by this bill.
"Looking to the currency pioblems of tbo
whole woild , all legislation of the character
contemplated bj this bill Is to those who
believe In the principles of bimetallism nn-
wlbc , because under Iho beneficent work
ing of the bimetallic f > > stcm It would be un
necessary It Is but one moio step to bo
eventually ictiaccd
"Hut the enactment of this measure Inlo
law without at the same lime accompanjlng
it with a lealllrmalion of the position of the
icpubllran piity respecting international
blmetalllhiii would be an nppaicnt abandon
ment of the principles and policy of thci
p.ily. and Iho amendment reported by thn
finance committee convcjs .1 positive assur
ance to the woild that this cuuntrj , able to
hold its own among the nations of the eaith ,

meet and treat with the other leading com-
ncrcial cotintiics looking lo an intcinatlonal
aricment lo open thr mints of the nmld tn
hlhci at > well as gold
"In this country bimetallism has revolved
Itti greatest Injuiy and Fiiffeird Its seven-si
blow at the hands of the Bryan demociacy
In rloso alllamo v\lth the popullbt paitj ,
which Mill demands an Incdemnable anil in-
Hated paprr currency , clumoililg for

to the exclusion of any other nettlement of

WASHINGTON. Fcb 12 An important
bill wan passed bv Iho house loday which
makes unlversall ) applicable the law that
now permits the tianslt of goods In bond
thiough certain ports of the United Slates
Under It goods In bond can be shipped
through any portion of the terrllory of tha
United States to foreign ports It Is prin
cipally designed to give the transportation
companies of the United State's a share ul
the transcontinental trade to the Orient
The bill also repeals the law of March 1 ,
1895 , prohibiting the shipment of goods 111 J
bond to the Mexican free ? one The latter " \
provision was fought by Stephens of Texas
Payne explained that the bill was designed
lo broaden Iho scope of Ihe present law so
OH to permit the trans-shipment of goods
across the Unltcel States , no matter what
their destination might be Under it goods
could b& shipped acnv = s the United Stales
to China or Japan. Th fiee zone provision
was designed to prevent , smuggling Payne
yielded to Giosvcnor of Ohio to offer an
amendment to the provision proposing to . -
lepeal the Joint resolution of March 1 , 1S9. , i
to prohibit the entry of goods Into the free
zone of Mexico.
Cooper of Texas , the author of the amend
ment , explained the necessity for the repeal
of the joint resolution. The attempt of con-
grcfb lo pievcnt smuggling by Joint resolu
tion , ho said , had not succeeded , but on
the contrary It bad proved detrimental to out
transportation companies Goods for the ,
fico zone now went to Vcra Cruz and Tam-
plco , Mexico , and were hauled by Mexican
railroads. The resolution prevented Ameil-
can railroads and American laborers from
handling the goods which went Into the fica
rone. Tbo Tieasury department , he paid ,
recommended Its repeal. Stephens contended
that conditions of the American merchants
along tbo Illo Giando had improved under
Iho present law and protested against Its
repeal
The amendment was adopted , 56 to 12 , and
Iho bill passed
The remainder of Ibo day was occupied
In passing Ihe private pension bllla favor
ably acted upon at last Friday night's ses
sion and In District of Columbia legislation.
