SENATE. In the senate on the 29th Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, re ported back the house bill repealing the part of the Sherman act with an amendment In the nature of a substitute. He asked that the bill be pluced on the calendar and gave notice that ho would ask the senate to take it up after the morning business from this time on until final action be taken. The OUU.1UWHU, III' nuiu( WttS evucuy me OIU heretofore reported from the finance com-' mlttee. Ho understood notice of an inten tion to address the senate hud been given by the senator from Georgia (Gordon) and the senator from Ohio (Sherman), and he suggested that their remarks might be made on the bill which he had just reported. He explained further that the bill, as reported from the finance committee was identical with that passed by the house, so far as It concerned the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and that from that point on there was a certain matter in the substitute which was not in the house bill, and which, in his judgment, improved it and made it more acceptable, f he resolution offered by Mr. Stewart was laid before the senate. It directs the secre tary of the treasury- to inform the senate whether there is a danger of a deficiency in the revenues of the government for the cur rent year; and, if so. what is the amount of such deficiency, and whether legislation Is necessary to supply such deficiency. The resolution gave rise to long discus sion. Senators Sherman, Mills, McPherson and Harris opposed the resolution as calling for problematical statements, calculated to create needless alarm, or hh reflecting on the secretary of the treasury. Finally the resolutions was referred to the finance com mittee. Mr. Dolph introduced a bill, which was re ferred to the committee on foreign relations, appropriating $5 0,00J to enable the enforce ment of the Chinese exclusion act and said be would »eek an opportunity of speaking on the subject. Mr. Gordon spoke in favor of the uncon ditional repeul of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act and against the substitute, which, lie said, would involve additional de lay; and In the meantime the condition of the country would grow more und more alarming. The senate should not lock the wheels of progress which had been set In motion in tne other end of ihe oapiol. Mr. Gordon, in the concluding portion of his speech, advocated the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks, lie said it was ab solutely certain that the states might be wisely and properly trusted with a larger share of responsibility in financial opera tions. A system of state bank issues could be made, snfe. stable and capable of accom plishing all the purposes of domestic trudo. HOUSE. In the house on the 29th Mr. Catchlngs called up the report of the committee on rulos, reporting the rules for the present houso. After some discussion, Mr. Catch lngs conceded there should be general de bate and briefly explained the changes made la the rules. * Mr. Keed twitted the democrats upon their partial approval of the rules of the rlfty-nrst congress, but In a humorous vein contended they had not. gone far enough. He then, In a more serious man ner. argued in favor of the rights of the majority, which rights had been firmly maintained in the Fifty-first congress. Now the house was In the habitof dodging meas ures Instead of meeting them. He criticised the provision of the rules which, he claimed, vested the committee on rules with the au thority which should be vested in the speaker. Why not adopt rules which would give the majority control and take away from the fillbusterer his chance to stop the consideration of a measure. It was butter to bawe a speaker to exercise power in tbe fuU light of public opinion than to exercise it la the commltteee room. Then, lor the first time this session, the speaker look the floor, having called Mr. KlchurUson of Tennessee to the chair, and replied to Mr. Heed, lie said there were provisions In this report which were taken substantially from the rules of the Klfty flrst congress. Neither lie nor any member of the committee on rules would refrain from reporting rules simply because they were part of those of the Fifty *llrst congress. V, * . . matt.uiijsrcns< ery imicli in those rules was to be com mended, very much of them had been by I!1® country absolutely condemned. Mr. Keed, when he stood up before the country and spoke of the rules of the Fifty-first congress failed to speak of the practices adopted before the rules were adopted which were so odious to the country. [Applause.] The first action in the Fifty-first wnich was odious was not an action under any rule,but it was the arbitrary, high-handed action of the speaker, who acted without authority of ---- --WHIIUUI **141110-„ rules or anything else. [Applause.] When the charges were made against the lui "V.w uinuv '‘fnuisk IUC iDSt COn gress, let no one forget that the first charge was that, without the authority of the house, without that of the committee on rules, the speaker had exercised a power that »Hd never been granted him. TAp pluuse.l He had Assumed upon himself the • -'* -- ‘•■■■''UUICM UUIIII IjlUlHFII lue power to count a quorum. The question had gone to the supreme court and Mr. Keed had never been justified. He hud heard Mr. K.?vi4f?e.v,uru,1 suy the supreme court had Justified his course. The supreme court had not touched the question. The supreme court has suld the house had the right to make rules for its own goverment and to make Its own provisions for the as certainment of a quorum. but it bad never said the speaker should make the rules. [Applause.] SENATE. In the senate on the 30tb, after the routine morning business, the bill for the repeal of the bherman act was taken up, and Mr. Sherman (rep. O.) proceeued to address tho senate. On conclusion of his speech fifty senators, more than a quorum, navlng re sponded to their names, Mr. Teller (rep., Colo) proceeded with his speech. He as fllimon ifonm •• n ___.1 ., _ 1 ■ • . sumed (from a newspaper article which he quoted) that a scheme had been organized -1 Vr l'vVvu,*1 ****** Ut-cu ui kiuiufu early In the session in New York for the purpose of creatifig a financial panic that would compel, at an extra session, the re peal -jf the purchasing clause of the Sher man act. He believed that the bankers had intended to create distress that would com pel the president to call the congress in ex truordldary session and thus hecure action, first on the purchasing clause of the Sher man act, and second, on the Issuance of a large amount of government bonds. But the panic hud got away with them. They had Wj1®/ overdone the business and had frlghtedcd the people more than they had Intended to do. Mr. Manderson (rep. Neb.) presented a memorial from all the national bunks of Omaha, for the Immediate pussage of the bill repealing the purchase clause of the Nhprmun DAt k.ll. -.1_._ Gherman act, expressing the belief that such repeal would go far toward brini * -- wwttiu ui inging an end .to the present serious financial disturb ances, and also asking for such legislation asslmll put gold and silver on a parity. Other petitions on tne same subject were presented. Air. Cockrell (dem.
