Ilnrrott Introdure i ltosolutlon to CVnturo Mr. Tnlliolt or South Cnrnllnii rir Itemurlt Alleged to lip Treimm nlde In diameter Tin- Motion Win Ituforrctl .vrtcr nn Atilttinted Discus sion. . I.tTely II mo In tlm I.ouer Mouse. W.vsinxorox, Fob. S. Tho debate on tho Senate free silver substitute for tho House bond bill proceeded steadily m tho House to-day. Tho House mot ut 10:30 o'clock with less than thirty members present nndn few stragglers In the galleries. Mr. Nowlnnds of Nevada, nwoUc the empty echoes of the big hall with a vigorous argument in favor of the free and in dependent coinage of silver. He as serted that not one debtor nation in i the world had maintained tho gold i standard except the United States and we had done so at tho price of conttu tied bond issues. Mr. Hnrtman of Montana, and Mr. Koni of Nebraska, Populist, followed hi favor of concurrence and Mr. Tucker of Virginia, in lavor of non concurrence. Mr. Talbot of South Carolina rose to a question of personal privilege to correct what ho said was an uninten tional mlsrepresentntion of himself in the public prints. Tills led to a stir ring incident. He said that Mr. Pear son of North Carolina had made an unwarranted attack on the loyalty of his state, which ho declared was its loyal as any state in the union. Mr. Pearson hud said that North Carolina had followed South Carolina out of the union, and hud got whipped along with the Palmetto state. "Jn u jocular way, Mr. Speakci," continued Mr. Talbot", "I declared that we were not whipped but had worn ourselves out trying to whip tho other fellows. In the heat of tiie moment," lie continued, "and iirpulslvoly, I bald that South Carolina was not ushanicd of the part sho took in it: thai she was proud of it, and that I for one indorsed secession then. I thought wo were right; 1 think so yet, and that muter the same circum stances, surrounded by the same con ditions, tiiat 1 would do the same thing ngniu. Now, Mr. Speaker I re peat it.' "lie has said that ho has repeated tho statement that under certain cir cumstances lie believed in heceisioii. 1 propose now to oiler a resolution of censure, put in Mr. Barrett of Massa chusetts. lly this time tho excitement on the floor was Intense. Mr. Crisp said that ho had never known an instance when a member was called to order and a motion was made that ho be allowed to explain his utterances thnt such a motion was not considered. To this Mr. llarrett re plied that he had no objection to the gentleman from South Carolina ex plaining at the proper time his stntc--mcJlii-JLkttttho gentlemau, having takiTHfoaTirtTnhiStUlir 'tliiT colfStUli5-' tion of the United Mates said he 'would, under certain cirumstance, at tempt to overthrow and humiliate the government. There was more parlinicntary spar ring between Mr. Crisp anil Mr. llar rett, during which the excitement gradually roe. The Speaker iinally out the matter short by saying that it the I louse was not satisfied with Mr. Talbot's explanation the resolution! might bo offered. The Speaker de cided that Mr. Crisp's motion was in order. "1 take it for granted," said Mr. Dingley, rising, "that the House does not intend to voto on a resolution of censure without according tho gentle man from South Carolina an opporun ity to explain." These words won tho applause of the Democratic side. Mr. Talbot availed himself of the opportunity and explained that ho "- bud-risen to correct a misrepresenta tion. Ho hud no idea that the press intended to misrepresent him inten tionally. South Carolina, ho pro ceeded, was as loyal and as true to the Union as any State in the Union. Tho circumstances under which sho se ceded could not exist again and ho was glad of it (Democratic applause). Mr. liarrcttot Massachusetts jumped up at these words and asked that the words bo taken down. Several members appealed to him not to do so and the speaker asked Mr. Barrett if ho iusisted upon the demand. Mr. Barrett seemed to hesitate when Mr. Talbot again got on his feet and declared in a loud voice that he wns willing to havo his words taken down. "1 will stand by them,'' said he. These words seemed to clinch Mr. Barrett's resolve, and Mr. Barrett re plied to the speaker with feeling: "Yos, i insist. I want to seo if a member can violute his oath in this fashion." "The chair understood that tho gen tleman from South Carolina wns only repeating what he hud said on a for mer occasion," said Speaker Heed. Mr. llarrett replied that in that case hu hud a point of order to submit. Mr. Crisp, the Democratic leader, how ever, at this point crowded Into the arena and moved that Mr. Talbot bo permitted to explain. The words oro then read at the clerk's desk and Mr. Barrett then formally made tho point of order that when a statement made by a member had been called in question and ho deliberately reiter ated it, it constituted a new state ment and a now offense. After a wrangle and some explana tions, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania moved to refer the Barrett resolution to the committee on judielary. This was carried by a vote of 151 to 41. This is understood to mean that no uotlco will be taken of tho matter. Mr. Owens of Kentucky wns the only Democrat who voted against the mo tion. Will Serve Muny Uagt. Dkadwood, S. 1)., Tob. S A council of Oa-allalla Sioux Indians will bo held at Wounded Knee on the 10th, to se lect dologntes to send to Washington to confer with tho Great Father upon matters relative to the manner of deal ing with the Indians. Tho council will conclude with a feas at which 460 dogs will bo served. MONROE DOCTRINE AGAIN. Senator Allrn or Nehrnk:i Ventilate III Vlrn. WAsiiiiwro.v, Fob. S. Senator Allen of Nebraska nddresed tho Sennt to day on tho Monroo doctrine resolu tion. Ho contended that tho Monroo doetrlno was ono of national self-pros-crvutlon, and that if the' invasion of tin South American republics by (Ireat llrltnln will endanger tho wel fare or menace the safety of this Gov ernment In any way, wo should resent tho action with all the strength and resources of a mighty nation. Tho United States must be tho exclusive judge of when tho doctrine Is to bo applied. The United States, Mr. Allen maintained, cannot permit Great Britain or any other foreign power to determine when and to what extent the acquisition of territory on the Western hemisphere will imperil our Government. Ho thought, however, that it would be ample time to act when tho Venez uelan commission shall have reported, and said: "If wo shall determine that the action of (treat Britain in acquir ing territory In Venezuela will imperil our government by imperiling tho rights of Venezuela, it will becoino our duty to marshal all the resources of our people to resist tho threatened or actual invasion. If, on the other hand, we shall determine, after duo Investigation and deliberation, that our interests will not bo imperiled, it will be our duty to abstain ftom any interference with the aetlon of Great i Britain." Continuing, Mr. Allen said: "Tho threatened demolition of F.nglnnd nntl the English institutions thnt wo havo heard in this chamber is not real; there is no danger from foes without. We havo simply been indulging in the harmless pastime of twisting the cau dal appendage of the British lion to arouse a war spirit in the breasts of our people, and thus induce them to for got their grievances and their wrongs. "Wo mistake the temper of tho American people. They know full well that there is no danger of our becoming involved in a war with Eng land, or with any other foreign power. They do not seels: war, and I cannot condemn in too severe terms tho luck of confidence in the sober judgement, the intelligence and patriotism of tho American people that has led at least ono Senator to assort that a largo por tion of them would welcomo war and bloodshed us a relief from their present conditions. "If, unhappily, tho time shall come, which God" grant it may not, that American valor must again be dis played on the Held of battle in defense of American institutions and against foreign greed and aggrandizement, we may confidently expect the sons of America to march under tho ling of the free, consecrated bv tho blood of a hundred years to pcrmauent and glorious victory. Then for every Grant there will he a Lee, for every Sherman a Johnston, for every Thomas a Jackson, for every Sheridan a Stuart, and Mason and Dixon's lino will bo blotted from the map of the United States and true Americans, North and South, wedded by the blood of the revolution, tho war of 1S12 and tho war with Mexico, renewed by the es trangement of 1S01, as lovers renew ana intensify tnetr atieciion by es trangement, soothed and sustained by a united and splendid American wo manhood, will give to the world a lesson in valor that it has never known before." MR. CLEVELAND TALKS. Discus? tin) Recent l!nil Issue nnd Syndicate Deal or I Ml),-.. Washinoiox, Feb. S In an Inter view President Cleveland said regard ing the bond issue: "From such in formation as comes to me from vnrious private sources, 1 am convinced that more small holdings of gold will be drawn into tho treasury by the present arrangement than appear on the sur face. Tho small country banks, for instance, which are buying bonds for their customers, havo made their bids through their New York and Boston correspondents, and this gives the loan the ap'pearance of having been taken up by the big financial institutions ut the money centers, although, as a mat ter of fact, not a little of it will come from the small investors." The subject of the syndicate con tract of February, lnP5, having been mentioned, Mr. Cleveland remarked that he had never had reason to ques tion the wisdom of that arrangement under the conditions then existing. "That contract," he added, "helped us out at a tlmo when a forty-eight hours' delay might have produced se rious results. 1 sympathize, never theless, with some of the objections made to that form of placing a loan. The difference between the price ob tained from tho syndicate and the price currently quoted can bo twisted into an argument which will appeal to people who do not stop to calculate tho actual cost to the syndicate of iloating a loan at that time. "My preference would havo been to have the present loan much more pop ular than it appears on its face, but we have done the best wo could. The people who hoard small savings of gold or tho equivalent of gold aro un accustomed to transacting business on the basis on which these bonds had to be issued; they are unused to premi ums or to the formalities of making bids. If wo could have sold them, threo per cent gold bonds at par, 1 think it would have brought out a good deal of this gold, but the only bonds the law allows us to issue have to bo sold considerably above par in order to keep tho net rate of interest within reasonable limits." Treasury Losing Cola. Washington; Feb. &. The treasury yesterday lost Sl.072,800 in gold coin nnd S10.400 in bars, leaving the true amount of the reserve Sl5.203.778. Notwithstanding the success of tho new loan, fears are entertained that a considerable share of tho gold offered in payment will have been withdrawn from tho treasury for that purpose.

HI Sppil I'otley Denounced mid Itlitlrultd In Turn Vent Snj I ho Iell Unit i (trudge ARiilust tlm Denmeriitlp I'urtj mill In n Spirit ir -Ite.enj;o lulllrti'd It ,lth Morton Irony, nrrnm and ind icate. Sensntlnniil Word In tlie Sennte. Washington, Feb. 7. Tho most caustic utterances hoard In tho senate since Mr. Tillman's sensational speech was that of Mr. Vest arraigning Sec retary of Agriculture Morton yester day. The general satire and rldieulo directed against tho secretary, nnd tho allusions made to the president, mado the speech hardly less notable than that which startled tho senate. Mr. Vest referred derisively to "llio colossal intellect dealing with cab bages." At ono point tho Ecnutor said: "Tho secretary of agriculture chnrges from Ills office", reminding us of what Cicero says of Cutallnc's flight from the sen ate: - 'Ab it excesslt evaslt crupiL' (Lumrhtcrl. When the secretary of agriculture hears of u silver lunatic ho is like the warhorse In. lob. his neck is i clothed with thunder. You might go further and say, 'Ho salth among tho prophets, ha. ha; and ho sinelleth tho battle afar oil', the thunder of tho captains and the shouting.'" Mr. Vest severely criticised tho practice of furnishing costly ilowcrs from Government greenhouses for the receptions at tho Executive mansion, and added: "Sir, 1 would rather give twice the amount of this appropriation to enable some poor man in a distant county of tho West who Is fighting tho hard battle of life; I would rather givo him something that would make his cheerless homo comfortable and bring light to his fireside. I would rather put ono flower in the sick room of a noble working girl or matron than to have it said that I had voted a hun dred and odd thousand dollars for the flowers and exotics to go to tho re ceptions and banquets of tho officials of this Government, where tho chan delier flashes its light nerosa the red wine and the air is f rairrant with per fume like the spicy brceo of Araby the blessed." Mr. Vest referred to the "bugle blasts" from tho Secretary of Agricul ture as to tho congressional extrava gance in distributing seeds. "The Democratic party has been most unfortunate," said tho Senator, with empha-is. "not only as to its in ternal discords, but uUo in the fact that tho devil has owed us a grudge and has paid it in a secretary of agriculture. "The Secretary had," continued Mr. Vest, "put tho "Democratic party in untagor.iMii to the great agricultural interests of tho party, although that party had always stood as the close friends of agriculture. The gigantic intellect of this sec retary of agriculture ban daily gone outside of his legitimate duties and why did It not discover some of tho really flagrant abuses'.'" "This secretary," proceeded theSen ntor, "has assumed to run the entire government. Ho has been practically the secretary of the treasury, llooiling this country with reports and pamph lets denouncing the silver lunatics and upholding tho single gold standard." Mr. Vest said tho Senator from South Carolina, (Tillman) had been called a communist because he had sounded a warning In the Senate. Ho compared this with n New York pub lication threatening revolution unless Senators and Representatives yielded to the gold standard. "The trouble is," said Mr. Vest, "that the secretary of agriculture Is a monomaniac on the gold standard. Ho sees only gold, gold, red gold, and he thinks any man who does not bee as ho sees is a lunatic." Mr. Vest closed shortly after 2 o'clock with a remarkably sarcastic and bitter pel oration. He referred to tho useless seeds, which it was assert ed tho secretary had properly refused to buy. "But," added the Senator, "there was ono seed not mentioned. "it was," he proceeded, smiling maliciously, "the anrefiir feniciilm canes mortonae, or, in plainer words, Morton's golden dogweed. This would flourish while the secretary, swinging his golden censor at the executive mansion, shouted his holy, holy, art thou, oh Grover, King of Kings and Lord of Lords." Mr. Teller, Republican, Col., took occasion during the debate to refer to the success of tho bond issue. Large as the offerings were, they would havo been larger if tho secretary of tho treasury had received bids at n fixed price lor the bonds. Clumsy and awkward as this bond submission had been, lacking the essential features of it popular loan, yet it completely answered those who hud talked of tho necessity of looking to foreign syndi cates to sustain our credit, Tho debate on distributing die ap propriation bills ran through the en tire afternoon and was not concluded when, at 4:.10 o'clock, tho senato went into executive session, and at 5:50 ad journed. Stuart nn the Fight Situation. Er. 'aso, Tex., Feb. 7. "No power i-.i stop these fights," said Dan A. Stuart when Informed of tho passage of an anti-prize fighting bill by the House of Representatives. "They are coming off Just as they were adver tised. You can say for mo that so sure as the principals aro alive and in condition to get into tho ring on the date sot for the contests, so sure will they fight, aud fight to a finish. If anyouo sees tit to doubt this, I will lay four to one for any part of S"0,000." Ilassuchuietts Indorse Morton' Action. Washington, Fob. 7. Secretary Morton has received the following let ter: "Boston, January 15, 181)':. To tho Honorable Secretury of Agricul ture, Washington, I). C: At tho an nual meeting of tho Bay Stato Agri cultural society held this date, tho following was uuanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the Bay State Agri cultural society heartily approves of tho action of Secretary Morton in stopping seed distribution, and hereby 2ondoinus the old system of seed dis tribution to members of Congress as in extravagant, unnecessary and wasteful use of tho public money," rO country.

Thero must havo been Just ns many brlght spirited girls and nctlve, ener getic women fifty years ago as there aro now, but tholr high spirits, or exub crant vltnllty did not take the form of a healthy out of door life They did not walk much. How could they walk along country roads and muddy lanes In sandaled shoes nnd thin stockings? And the dresa depicted In tho fashion plates published half a century ago dpes not seem to our eyes to bo very well adapted for athletic sports. In Inrgo towns It was thought very incor rect for girls to walk in the streets cvon in pairs, and utterly impossible alone. A maid or footman must bo in attend ance, If a father or brother was not available, and even in their compnny or guarded by a depressing attendant, it wns Just as well In some of the more crowded streets that a girl should not wnlk at all. Of course, girls wcto allowed to ride on horseback, but thoso who did so were In the minority, and thero was a sort of unwritten law thnt matrimony put nn end to it entirely. It could not havo been so henrtbrenklng to hnve given it up ns It would bo now. Riding for a woman only meant tittuping in the park when In town on a two-pommeled saddle, and wearing n full, bunchy habit that in some Instances swept tho ground, nnd that fluttered in tho brooze that nlso blow about the long gauze veil that adorned a beaver hat and feathors. Country riding was equally tame. Only tho emancipated woman of those days hunted, and sho did so in defiance of public opinion. The difficulty was to find any exhilar ating sport or game, or any health-giving pursuit in which women were al lowed to tako part, and exercise for the sake of exercise, always dlstateful to men, did not commend itself to women either. There was nothing for them to do In the open air. No tennis, no golf, not ovon croquet!
