A Cyclone Strikes the Republican Craft and There is Mutiny in the Forecasts. Bonds in Times of Peace is What Did It. fit seems that Washington has been seething vith excitement for the last ten days. The Associated l'ress has suppressed much and glosses over a great deal more. The readers of the 1 N J)WKMk.nt have presented to them a vivid picture of the light against plu tocracy in the following columns. F.d. INJJEI'ENDKNT. A Row in the Senate. Washington, Dec. 27. Special. There was one of the liveliest spats in the, senate to day that has occurred for a Jong time. Jlill got onto the old thread bare stories that were sung so long, to loud and with ill conceivable variations during the silver sessionviz, preserving the public credit. Teller got hot under the collar as soon as the notes of this old song struck his ears, and as mum.') as Hill sat down he sprang to his feet and said he wanted to enter his protect against the repeated assertions m-sde by the executive department, and now in the senate, that the government :'3 bankrupt. He made that protest be cause the eecuritiesof the United States weie 1 giltedged-' securities in every nrket of the world; and never had S discredited by any banker or by body save by the executive depart- wit under this administration, and Lv Vat member of it who appeared as its champion in the senate. Mr. Teller .spoke of the contract under which .i"l.'d wreipuM lust yea? s "a lasting disgrace, due either to the dishonesty or imbecility of this administration." "We are tolo," he said, "by the public press that we are to have another bond issue and that it will not be as favor able, at this time, as before, because the government of the United States is in greater distress than a year ago. Against all that I protest.' "There is not a financier,'' he went on to say, "m the country who will not tell ' you that we can place our bond? on the i V market at 3 per cent and sell all that we I V want to. At the p-oper time I will ex- jl press my opinion upon the department, from the president down to the 'tide waiter' who now assumes to speak on the financial matter." At this, the senators burst out laugh jug and Hill who is always as white m u corpse, took on a look ten times more like a cadaver than usual. He arose and began to speak in a slow measured tone, every accent charged with passion and hate. lie said he was in aid of the public credit, and not against it and he was probably as competent to discuss fi nance as the gentleman who hailed from the wilds of Colorado The bitterness was in the tone more than in the words. The truth is that there, is a fierceness noticeable in everything said on the money question of late. The sides arl f'1 'i ttiuir farther amrt I'Vitv ihiv. There .

Dingley, who was on the bridge almost lost his head when the crew began to mutiny. The silver republicans revolted. The first one to flash defiance at the commander was Johnson of California. He comes from the Sacramento district and is a line speaker. He said: "I am opposed to this bill because it contradicts all the republican platforms, and all the republican conventions, and all the republican speeches that ever I heard or made or wrote upon the ques tion of the finances. Let us be cons;s tent with our record, let us stand by the rule which we adopted many years ugo, that we will not issue bonds in time of peace." The fight went on through the after noon and evening, during which time Lowers of California and Wilson of Idaho joined the republican silver nuti neers. Lven the the old Czar, himself begins to look troubled. During the uay Dingley called Secretary Morton an anarchist and said he had violated the law as visciously as any mob had ever daied to do. A Vision of Donnelly. Washington, Dec. special. There was a meeting of republican kickers at the Ebbitt House to-night. The greatest precautions were taken to maintain absolute secrecy, but your correspondent-got hold of the main facts. There were about 40 republi cans present. Towne and Kddy of Minnesota were there. Mr. Towne was very obstreperous. He denounced the rule brought in by Henderson to pass the bond bill in the bitterest terms. He sa:d it was a gag rule and he would not be bound by it. The 40 members pres ent represented Z western and south ern states. Johnston of California called the caucus, llroderick of Kansas was chairman. They appointed a commit tee to ir.form the Czar that they would not vote for bonds, in fact declared their independence. TfirMrrnlsotanicuibtrs ?rere excep tionally rampant. Tj'ey have, without doubt, the fear of Ignatious Donnelly Hiidhis paper always before their eyes, and dream at night that the populist vote next fall will banish them all to the continent of Atlantis. One thing is certain. There is war In the republi can camp. The Way They do It. Washington, Dec. 27. Special. To understand how the Tom Reed pin tocrats can pass a bond bill almost in the twinkling of an eye when there are at least ten million voters in the United states opposed to it, one must under stand the Tom Reed rules. Under these rules the w hole proceedure m the house has been changed. There is io way now to discuss a proposed law, or even oiler an amendment. The speaker, as f ar as those things are concerned is an absolute, unrestricted despot." There can be no more discussion in the house than there is in Russia when the Car orders silence. If Mr. Keed wants i bill passed he jeaks to Mr. Henderson of Iowa. Mr. Henderson walks in and the speaker recognizes him. Then Mr. Henderson says he has a new rule to propose. That is a privileged question and has the right of way over every thing. Then J!r. Henderson reads his rule, to wit: "Mouse l!o!l So, will be taken up at ll.'Mi p. in. Fifteen minutes will be allowed each side for discussion. At I p. in. the house will proceed to vote on on the bill without any intervening motion. On fins I move the previous question." The thing is dune.

Washington, Dec, -r'- (SpeciaL) There are thirty-two seats in the pre sent house which are contested. Several of them by populists. This ia perhaps thelargestnumber ever contested in any congress, and would put an unusual amount of work upon the committee upon contested elections, and prevent the members of that committee from taking an active part in general legisla tion. A new rule was therefore adopted creating in reality three committees on contested elections, designating them as Xos. 1, 2, and 3. Heretofore a contest in theliDiise has been a farce, the seat nearly always being given regardless of the, facts, to the contestant of the party in power. One of the most notorious of thc.se cases was that of Tom Watson vs. Major Llack, where the evidence showed be yond the possibility of a doubt that several thousand more votes had been returned for Major Ulack in Itichmond county than there were male inhabi tants over twenty years old. .. , Majur i'lack made no attenfpt to re but this evidence, in fact he did not tak. the testimony of a single witness or make any defense at all, yet the demo cratic committee voted for Major Llack to retain his seat. Another game this election coin nittee plays when they have a case of fraud so glaring that it would bring disgrace upon every member of the committee to keep their own man in, is to delay a report for the whole tw o years but bring it in to the house in the very last hour of the session. Such a case occurred in the 4t)i con gress from Maine, when a republican: who was not elected held the seat the whole congress. Just forty-live minutes before the final adjournment the demo crat vw etd,-irw-- hie uwxti.mrtd. mileage and went home. The other man who had held a seat to w hich he was not elected, of course drew lus 810,000 and mileage one way also. J'o avoid this sort of thing, the follow ing amendment to the rules was ottered : "That the speaker shall administer to each member of earh committee on elections, an oath to well and truly try and decide each case according to the law and the testimony." It was voted down by an overwhelm ing viva voce vote. So we are to under stand that this republican house does not intend to try the cases mid decide them according to the law and the evidence, but to vote in a republican every time. The Fear of Rothschild. Washington, Dec. 2'X (Special.) Tho men from the south and west, (al ways excepting the six Nebraska re publicans,) are furious today over Ueo. W. Smalley's foreign letters. He is denounced everyw here by the free silver men for his abominable todying to Knglish royalt.es and aristocrats. They are talking in about the same way the populihts have done for the last two years. The populist are rather pleased at his last letser for he says just what they have been saying about the lioth.;:'iulds. Stnalley however claims that the I 'nited States is powerless bef me them that the government can hardly eu;,t with out their permission, w bile the populists look on the House of HotLichilds with contempt.

Intsneo Bitterness Between Free Silver Republicans and tho Gold Bugs. Tho G. O. P. is Split Wide Open. Washington, I)ec.2:i. (Special.)- All last night and all the forenoon of today, there was the most intense excitement in the republican camp. Desperate efforts were made by the free silver re publicans to gather enough mutineers to defeat the bill to issue more bonds, or to at leist insert the words "iiilieu"und st rike out the wonls"in addition" so as to make the bill read "in lieu of the pow er now given the secretary of the treasury," but by 1 1 o'clock they gave up the fight, forty-seven republicans mutinied. It would have taken seventeen more, and they could not get them. . Mcikeljohn, Mercer, Hainer, Andrews and Strode all voted for bonds. Thwe live Nebraska congressmen and the. re publican senator, Thurston, are looked upon here as the most reliable gold standard men in Washington. The free silver republican workers who were sent out for recruits reported that they got nothing but insolence and contempt when they apjiroachei Meikei john, Mercer, Hainer, Strode and An drews. The free silver repuplicans are ery b;.tter against them, lor the reason that (Vey all pretended to their constituents lifore election.aud tolheii fellow mem J. & u&tH"Vrfthifi the kfct tkr r focr ijtys, that they were in favor of silver and against bonds. The bill, as passed, amends the re suniptwi act so as to permit the issue of 3 per cent coin bonds, redeemable alter five years at the pleasure of the the government, and payable in fifteen years, with the specific proviso that nothing in the bill shall be construed to repeal the act of for the reissue of the greenbacks, and thatthe bonds fhall lirst be ottered for subscription at the suhtreasuries and depositories of the United States. The second section of the bill provides for the issue of three year '.I per ctnt debt certificates of de nominations of $20 and multiples there of in amounts not exceed ing$o0,000,0'0 to meet temporary deficiencies. Ihe men who prepared this bill ai d forced it through under a gag rule all voted to issue bonds payable ii gold alone one year ago. It is the Maine outfit Tom lived, Dingley, Jloutelle and Milligen. The result of the vote to day is that the republican party is split wide open. The forty-two republican free silver men who bolted are denounced as trait ors to the party, and the bond voting crew are denounced by the western re publicans as traitors to the platform and principles advocated on the stump for the last twenty years. TJie western men are especially defiant and bitter. It does not look possible to-night to keep these two hostile camps in the sainn organization much longer. Tney certainly represent diametrically oppo site economical principles. What the populists foretold uboitt this congress ban come to pas. Tf ey slid the Ini'Dielit it begin to legislate it wo-.iJd spl;t, just as the deiiioctutic paity did two years u'o. Washington Notes.

They will bo destroyed if the bill becomes a law. One democrat, Hutchison of Texas, voted with the republicans for a new issue of bonds. What will the Texans do to him V In tho Middle of tho Road. A new organization of the senate was effected last Monday, the republicans getting control by a plurality of two, the populists, except Kyle who voted with the democrats, not voting. Tho Associated I'ress report of the matter is as follows: This morning Senator Allen was in clined to object tit the consideration of tho resolution which it was understood Senator Mitchell of ( regon would make on behalf of the icpublicans. Allen thought he saw a democratic-republican alliance in the make up of committees to the exclusion of the populists, but when he entered the senate he discov ered differently, and remained silent w hen the resolution was ottered, for the reason that he would h ave bad enough alone. After the adoption of the reso lution by the narrow margin of .30 to 2, Mr. Aile.ii gave the populists' reasons for keeping In the middle of the road, charging both democrats and republi cans with incompetency in matters of legislation. Senator Harris asked the senicr senator from Nebraska if there had not been a deal on (he part of the populists with republicans. Allen de nied that there had been any deal. This was the beginning of a verbal war.whlch lasted late in the afternoon, giving the crowded galleiies keen enjoyment, f'opufists aid at "a idss to kiiow' why Kyle voted with the democrats, their policy being to maintain a dignified silence. It is understood that Kyle is dissatislied with his committees, having had hopes of being better placed than in the Fifty-third coi gress. CONGRESSMAN BELL. He Tells of II is Interview with Czar Reod. Washington-, Dec, 21. (Special.) There was a populist caucus held of all the populists in lioth the senate and the house at which Senator Allen sub mitted his free silver and greenback resolution. It was ordered by the caucus that the same resolution be presented in the house, and Judge Hell of Colorado was chosen as the man to do it. When Judge Hell was asked why it was not presented in the house, he re plied : "While the II oiife was meeting and ii'ljourniiig simply, the I'i.puiist ineiii Itcrs agreed in their conference io intro duce :t resolution in the House and Senate inviting the Finance Comu ittee in the Senate and the Committee on Coinage.

WtxiiiNGTrjf, Pec. 'JO, (Special). There was hot talk all around in the Senate today and some of it camo from Senator Allen. Teller was hot, Untler was hot, Allen well he was mad. He went after Hill and the Tresident like a Sioux Indian on the warpath. Allen made a short speech in which he was no less bitter than Teller when he applied the epithet "tide waiter" to Hill. As what Allen said .created quite a t-en-nation, I send a verbatim report. It is not an ordinary thing for a Senator to intimate that the l'refidont is a liar from his seat in the Senate no matter how often he may do bo in private, and at tho Rrtino time tell unother Senator from a great sUto that what he says is not true. Uptakes courage to do that sort of thing. Allen is perhaps the only man in the Senate who would dare t do it. This is w hat he said : "When the President of the United States mid in his annua! ,nv swage to us that any of tltoM? notes were redeemable in gold' lie fulfilled the history of this country. I am not pre pi red to say that the President of the CniLed States knew that the ttatetiient was false at tha time it was made. The Senator from New York suggested to mo that I had better 'go the whole hog.' as he calls it. I do not want to inipiiirii the motives of the Presidentof the United States. I want to believe that he is the President of the entire United States andnotof Jxmibard and Wall streets alone. Put I say when the President of the United Stated faid that the greenbacks were redeemable in gold ho gave utterance to that which all hi-tory proves to be false. They were specifically redeemable in coin, and gold and silver were coined tion terms of equality at that time and for several years afterwards. "V, hen the Senator from New York say these different form of money are redeemable in gold, that statement is not true. The old greenback was re deemable in either metal or in both. Tho certificates issued under the Pland AClison Act were specifically redeemable in silver and in nothing else; and ac cording to the terms of the Sherman Act of 1KII0 it is made the duty of the Secre tary of tho Treanury to redeem the notes icsued under that act in gold or silver ciin at his discretion. Those were the fatal words entering into that act.invest ing in the Secretary of tho Treasury dis cretion in refereuce to the redemption of these notec. "The Senator from New York would changtf the whoW law of tlieTegftHtTidtr. " The very element of the law of legal tender is a power or right on. the part of the debtor to choose the money in which ho shall pay. It has lieen so throughout the enlirt' history of the common law. There is not a state in the Union where the law is to the contrary today. Yet the Senator from New York, by this res olution, would change that common-law rule and invest in the holder of the bonds of the United States the right to demand a ppecillc kind of money. I want to call the Senator's "attention to the fact that that gold reserve was estab lished in 1S7',), when there was not a statute upon the statute book authoriz ing it. and there has never been one since." Rood's Railroad Committee. , Washington, I)kc, 24. (Special.) Huntington has the House committee on Pacific Railroads fixed up to the desire of his heart. Powers of Vermont is Chairman. Heed's determination to insult the West at every opportunity has here a good illustration. The man he has chosen is not from any of tho states interested in a just settlement of the questions involved, but as far away from the etates interested as it is pissible to get one That however, was not the principal reason for the apjoifitment of Powers. He was appointed for the sole reason that he is Huntington's pet and confid ential man in the house. When the priqiosiuon was hefore the House, to loin the Pacific roads $100 0tu,o00 for l'.'-'i years at two per cent.. Powers was Huntington's chief spokes man.
