WAMIJJCOTOS , Juno 17. In the senate today
the house silver bill was timcii up and Mr.
Wolcott addressed the senate. Mr. Wolcott
said that when senators who lived In silver
producing states were accused of holding sordid
did nnd unworthy and unpatriotic opinions ,
nnd when it was said those who were do-
mantling that , silver bo restored to its old
place with its sister metal were speculators
nnd adventurers , nnd were indifferent to the
true welfare of the country , ho would have to
be pardoned for feeling that he had n right to
claim tlio attention of the .senate long enough
to protest against such Intimations and
ngnlnst such methods of conducting debate.
If it were true ( as it was not ) that the people
of the silver producing states were governed
In the matter by a desire to protect an in
dustry on which their prosperity depended , n
large warrant was given to them for such a
course by some of the eastern states. The
country , particularly the northern states ,
Ecemcd to have fallen on days when politics
were rated at a commercial value ulono and
when political fcaltv was made to depend
upon whether the prosperity of the locality
where the voter resided was to bo better
fostered by competition with other countries
or by largo nnd prohibitory duties which
practically excluded foreign competition. The
prosperity of the people of the
mountain states of the west had
wcr to rest chiefly on the products
of their mines. Yet , while they were less
bcnelitted than any other region of the coun
try by a high protective tariff , they were
nsked every session to stand by the duties
wlVioli the cast formulated , and when they
fished that silver should also bo protected
they were told that they were sordid and nn-
patriotioand that their ideas were those of
dissatisfied and visionary people. Mr. Wol
cott went on to criticise the unfriendly atti
tude of the administration toward the silver
question , and said that when Harrison was
nominated his record was searched in vain
for any noteworthy act or say ing ; that the re
publican leadersof tlw west made
EI eat efforts among the farmers nnd miners
und secured the sneers of the ticket ; that the
president had not exactly materialized on the
hilvcr question and the awakening had been
rather rude. He ventured the opinion that if
the president's opinion on that question had
been announced before the last election not a
Mnglc state west of the Missouri river would
have given a republican majority , not because
cause a majority of tlio people of those states
were not tmo and staunch and earnest repub
licans , but because they would have wished
to rebuke overwhelmingly the party that se
lected as their standard bearer ono who was
unmindful of the interests of the country and
disregard fill of the will of the great
majority of the members of the party.
An open foe was to bo preferred
to n secret enemy. The recommendatir
rcX.M\p \ M'tXTt" " ' : - * ' " * - ° u
J1 } ce' io , .n. , , . . . .liicaiwllorn iimiry struck
Oof 1Ji7M was infinitely preferable to tub' Uift
recommended by the secretary. The whole
purpose of the house bill seemed to bo to de
grade and debase silver , to make It a com
modity , to reduce it to ono of tlio baser met
als and to prevent Its again taking its place
ns a standard of value. In conclusion , Mr.
Wolcott said the silver bill was of far greater
Importance than the election bill , the anti-
gerrymandcring bill or the tariff bill. *
The conclusion of Wolcott's maiden speech
in the scnnto was attended with great ap
plause and compliments from the senators.
The senate then voted on the amend
ment reported by the finance commit
tee striking out of the house silver bill
the provision that treasury notes issued
for silver " .shall bo legal tender for all
debts , public and private. " The amendment
was rejected vens , M ; nays. 50 and the
provision remains in the bill. The second
amendment , striking out the bullion redemp
tion clause , was agreed to yeas , fi7 : nays , 7.
The third amendment , striking out the sixth
section for the free coinage of silver when
the market price is SI for . ' 17114 grains of pure
silver , was rejected yeas , 10 ; nays , id. The
"V amendment fixing the limitation of the act to

On motion of Mr , Plumb the following was
Kiibstitutcd for the first section of tlio house
bill- yeas , -I , ' ) ; nays , 21 :
Thin fiom and after Ibo date of the pnssago

dollars or bars for hN bonellt and without
charge , lint It sliall bo lawful to refuse any de
posit of less value than fliiOor tiny bullion so
bate as to be unsullablo for tlio operations of
the mint.
Mr. Mitchell addressed the senate on the
general merits of the bill and In the course of
4 his remarks declared that any administration
4j j which would set itself up against the free
nnd unlimited coinage ot the silver dollar
would be , as it deserved to be , hurled from
power.
Mr. Plumb moved to add a now section , to
como in as section 2 , as follows :
That the provisions of section It of the act to
authorize the coliuiceof a standard sllvor del
lar and to lostore Its li'Bid tender character ,

Agreed to without division.
Mr. Keiigan offered the following amend
ment ns a substitute for sections : iI i and 5 :
Section : i. That the certificates provided for
In this act shall lie of donoinlnatlinisof not less
than If nor moro than tlw , and sui-h corttll-

Mr. EdmundsWithout interfering with
the fine symposium wo are having I wish to
nay that I am opposed to the bill as it now
stands and to every ono of its amendments ,
in general and in particular , and therefore 1
mil not to bo called upon hereafter to account
for having allowed the amendment to pass
without calling for the yeas and nays. 1 am
willing to deliver over to tlio democratic
party the management of the finances of the
country for the time being. I only state this
in order that 1 may not troablo the senate
with demanding the yeas and nays on the
various ornamentations that are bo'n ruivento
this hoodlum which is sot up. [ Laughter. ]
Mr. Plumb retorted sharply and asked
wtiat Mr. 1'MmumU was going to do with the
republican platform , and Intimated that Mr.
Kdmunds did not represent the republican
party.
Mr , Kdmunds replied that ho stood by the
republican party platform , but that the dem
ocrats and their deluded followers have aban
doned that pltitfonn nnd transformed it Into
ono which no democratic convention over
dared make , and which no democratic admin
istration and no democratic house of rcpro-
hcntnUvort ever dared propose , liocuuso they
knew the people of the United States would
swiftly find out that they had boon deluded
nnd ii'Islod ' by that cry of expansion , and
when the break came It would not bo the poorer
or the iMitor who will have profited , hut the
\fiy people whom these gentlemen .aro now
bowling against so strongly that they will
uavo nuvlo all the monev.
Mr. Vo t milled Mr. tidmumV attention to

1878 , did pass n contrivance of this kind Oust
as It Is trying to pasi It now ) In order , by np-
jwals to the worst Instincts of the people , to
do something which might bring It Into
jmwcr. It accomplished Its purixwo nnd
Cleveland was elected , nnd. having been
elected by their votes , Cleveland was wise
enough nnd bravo enough to tell his demo
cratic supporters that that sort of n delusion
could not bo carried Into practice. The demo
cratic party was wise enough , for n wonder ,
to bo absolutely silent for four years on that
topic. No patriot opened his mouth to bark
lit the administration of President
Cleveland because ho persistently nnd
steadily declined to bo betrayed or seduced
into destroying the prosperity of the people
of the United States oy ndvisinir such a meas
ure as this wo have now. No democrat in
cither house during the four years of Cleve
land's administration opened his lips to relieve
lievo the suffering people suffering from
want of the coinage of silver dollars. And
therefore \ say , witli great restwct to my
friend from ICnnsas and to everybody else ,
that this bill Is' the new platform ( renewed
from 1878 to 1SOU ) , of the democratic party
when It lias no responsibility ( and I agree
that It ought never to have any ) , and that Its
purpose Is to entangle the republican party
and deliver it over to the democratic party.
The question was taken on Mr. Kcagan's
amendment and it was agreed to without di
vision.
Mr. Teller moved to add the following na anew
now section :
That certificates provided for In this act
shall bo receivable for all ta.\es and dues to
the United Hiatus of every description and
slisill be local tondur for thu payment of all
debts , publlu and private.
After along discussion It was modified , at
the suggestion of Mr. Eustis , by adding the
words , "and all silver certificates already
issued , " and as so modified it was agreed to
yeas , HI ; nays , ii'J.
Mr. Plumb moved to insert the following
ns nn additional section :
Owners of bullion deposited forcolnnpo shall
have Iho option to receive coin or Its equiva
lent In HID certificates provided for In this act ,
anil NiiL'b bullion sliall bu subsequently coined.
Agreed to without division.
Tlio bill was then reported to the senate

Chandler moved to Insert the following
amendment :

The bill for the admission of Wyoming was
taken up so as to make it unfinished business ,
and the senate adjourned.
' House.
WASHINGTON , Juno 17. After some unim
portant business the house went into commit
tee of the whole on the sundry civil nppropri-
a'tum ! 'm ' < T'ie ' committee soon rose and re
ported tHfl bill back to the house. The ntnend-
Lumt adopted in committee of the whole
making specific' iu lieu of Indefinite the ap
propriatlon for the payment of back pay was
rejected , and the motion to recommit the bill ,
with instructions to the committee on appro
priations to report it back with a clause mak
ing spccilie appropriations for back pay and
bounties , were rejected. The bill was then
passed.
The house then went into committee of the
whole on the Indian appropriation bill. The
appropriation of S20OOJ to refund to the Che
rokee Indians the expense of their rimoval to
the Indian territory was stricken out.
Pending further action the committee rose
nnd the house adjourned.
Opinion on the .Senate Silver Hill.
WASHINGTON , June ! 7. Opinions us to the
possible action of the bouse on the senate
silver bill differ very widely. There is a
belief on the part of .301110 that before any
action is taken , a caucus will bo held to de
cide upon the course to be pursued. There is
a sentiment even among the friends of the
bill as it passed the senate , that it will i-et
into conference and that out of that confer
ence will bo involved a bill providing for the
purchasoofl.noO.OOO ounces of silver monthly ,
the ccrtlllcatcs issued in payment thereof to
bo legal tender and not redeemable in bullion.
Such a measure it is generally believed
would receive tlio president's approval. The
free coinage advocates express the opinion
that the house will pass the senate bill.

Antonio Navarro nt LiiHt Claims the
Actress i\a Din Hrldo.
LONDON , Juno 17. [ Special Cablegram to
Tin : BUB. ] Miss Mary Anderson was mar
ried this morning to Antonio Navarro in the
Roman Catholic chapel of St. Mary's in
Hiimpstead , The marriage was strictly pri
vate. Miss Anderson was driven from the
house of her stepfather , Dr. Griffin , to the
church in a close carriage. Tlio curtains were
drawn so that no glimpse was caught of the
bride till she loft the carriage to enter tlio
.sanctuary. The marriage ceremony was per
formed in as quiet and simple a manner us
possible. There was no choir , the only music
being that of the organ. The immediate
friends of the bride anil groom were present.
The interior of the chapel was tastefully
decorated with u profusion of ferns , palms
and white ( lowers on the altar. Twelve can
dles were burning. It was not quite eleven
o'clock when the bridegroom , accompanied
by his brother , Alphonso Nuvarro , reached
St. Mary's in a cab. Both young men were
in mourning garb for their uncle , who died
three weeks ago. A few minutes later n
carriage drove up to the vlmpel in which
were seated Miss Anderson's sister and her
step-brother. This was followed by ono con
taining Miss Anderson's own brother and
his wife. A third contained Miss Anderson's
mother und her step-father , Dr. nnd Mrs.
Griffin. Immediately behind this was Miss
Anderson's carriage and with her
was her stop-sister , Miss Blanche Griffin ,
who acted as bridesmaid. Miss Anderson's
gown was of white satin heavily brocaded.
She carried n magnificent boquet of wlilto
roses , lilacs , stcilianotis | nnd delicate ferns.
Above the bridal veil , which completely cov
ered her , was u tiny wreath of orange blos
soms. Miss Griffin was also dressed in
wlilto and carried a boquet of beautiful pink
roses In her hand , her gown being adorned
with many rows of the same kind.
The ceremony was performed by Cannon
Put-sell. Dr. GrllUn "gave the bride away ,
After the marriage the party drove to the
Griffins' , where breakfast was served. The
happy pair started this afternnon for Venice
wlicro they will spend their honeymoon.

Frco coinage wins. There is to bo imllni'
iteil five coinage of American silver if the
bill which lias passed the sonuto is adopted
by the house nnd signed by the president.
The scnnto was the seono of very lively action
this afternoon from the moment Mr. Wolcott
of Colorado took tlio lloor to "round up" tno
single standard men and severely criticize the
attitude of Secretary Windom towards silver
coinage until the llnnl vote on the amended
bill was taken. The galleries began to
1111 as soon as Mr. Wolcott commenced
to deliver his maiden effort , and
when he had llnlshcd there was ti hcnrty
round of applause. The scats above and on
the lloor wore all occupied and u largo portion
of the house were commingling with the sena
tors , and not only did the free coinage amend
ment , which has been pushed by Mr. Teller
of Colorado , succeed , but also an amendment
offered by him , malting the certificates which
arc to bo issued for the purchase of bullion n
full legal tender for the payment of all public
and private debts. The free coinage amend
ment was adopted by a vote of 43 to " I.
Tlicro was , in the parlance of
the west , "a hustling to get on the band
wagon. " As amendment after amendment
was proposed and voted upon senators who
had proclaimed openly against placing silver
upon the .same footing with gold ami legal
tender notes seemed to bo caper to vote for
tlio amendments elevating silver to the
highest possible standard. After several of
the amendments were adopted Mr. Edmunds
of Vermont , who led the opposition to free
coinage and a full legal tender provision ,
arose and declared that ho was dis
gusted with the whole proceeding ,
desired to wash his hands of
it and was willing to turn it over to the
democratic part ) * , where it belonged. This
precipitated a very lively exchange of senti
ment between the senator from Vermont and
Mr. Plumb , but when quiet was restored
other amendments were proposed nnd
adopted with an increase of majority , the
accessions coming from the republican ranks.
So overwhelming were the votes upon the
amendments that it was freely stated by the
strongest single standard men on the republi
can side that only a free coinage bill could
pass the house , as many free coinage men
who had been coerced by Speaker Heed when
the bill was before that body a short time
since would feel at liberty , in view of the
largo majorities in the senate , to consult
their own convictions and bo guided in ac
eordanco.
It is conceded now that the senate bill will
pass the house despite the opposition of the
speaker , but it is not thought probable that
the president will sign such n measure. The
friends of Ireo coinage give Senator Teller
the credit of having wrought the wonders
which were shown by the votes in the senate
today. IIo was the first man to como out
boldly for free coinage and continued to light
for it till last week , when it
looked us though a majority of the entire sen
ate from the republican side would sign a
pledge to vote against free coinage. Mr.
Teller never lost faith in the ultimate success
of his position , nnd ho was very heartily con
gratulated when the bill was finally passed
this afternoon. Mr. Plumb of Kansas was
also a prominent laborer in the vineyard of
free coinage.
EJlt is stated oy members of the committee on
rules that under the rules the silver bill ,
.when it goes to the liouso , will bo placed upon
the calendar , and that unless Speaker Heed
desires it adopted it will not bo considered at
this session. Mr. Heed is committed against
free coinage and the legal tender provisions.
Tin ; M'KINMV TAUIIT HILL.
The McKinley tariff bill Is to be reported
from the committee on finance to the senate
tomorrow and ordered printed. Tlio committee -
tee will not submit its report under a day or
two , and it is understood that the report will
consist on'y ' of an explanation of why the va
rious changes in the bill were made and none
of the usual arguments in favor of a protec
tive tariff will accompany the report. Jt has
been customary to submit a political argu
ment with tariff bills. The senate commit
tee has contented itself with making reduc
tions of the duties llxed by the McKinley bill.
The duty of about half a cent a pound upon
the low grades of sugar is the one important
increase over the proposition of the McICiu-
loy bill. Among the most important reduc
tions made in the bill as It will como from tlio
committee are the removal of the proposed in
crease of duty on tobacco , leaving as at pres
ent a sliding scale of about 20 per cent on bar
ley and some other farm products , tlio duty
upon which was almost doubled by the McKinley
loy bill , and a cut of about : iO per cent
upon the duty on common bagging. It is
likely that the bill will not bo called
un in the senate for debate before July 1 , as
it Is the desire of the appropriation committee
to get all the pending appropriation bills out
of the way before the end of the present
month , which is the end of the fiscal year.
Tlio debute on the tariff will bo very long and
will probably last until the end of August. It
Is generally understood that the democratic
senators have entered into a pledge among
themselves to keep up nn endless supply of
tariff cloauenco in ardor that the senate may
become so tired out before the end of the debate -
bate as to bo willing to take up the subject of
a federal election bill.
OMISSION'S IS TAB ISO Till ! CENSUS.
When I handed Superintendent Porter mils-
patch tonight from Tin : Biistatlng : : that there
were egregious errors in the work of taking
the census of Nebraska's metropolis , and that
Tin : Bii : : had proven beyond doubt that hun
dreds of legal residents had been omitted
from the returns , Mr Porter expressed no
surprise , but seemed considerably worried
over tlio Information. Ho stated that ho had
heard that complaint from every direction ,
and that a number of states had gone
to the trouble and expense of employ
ing out of their private funds enu
merators to run down the errors of
the federal enumerators and make an unoffi
cial census for the purpose of protecting
themselves against inisronradontaUons and
against the linn-curacies of the government
work. Ho said that Kansas Uity had com
plained that the federal census would show a
decrease of111 per cent of the anticipated
population , while some 'of the cities which
havii employed enumerators at their own ex
pense would undoubtedly bo able to show
that the Jlgures of the nubile and private
enumerators were at wide variance.
Tills , ho stated , was 11 condition
of affairs which the government
could not help. There was no remedy , al
though the fullest extension of time allowed
by the law to enable the onunmrutorrt to so-
euro a census of parsons who could not upon
the ilrst , second or moro calU bo found at
their places of business or residence would
be given. Ho stated that it was necessary to
make it limit of tinio when the official returns
should bo made to the supervisor * and that
fourteen working days were ample , especially
since the enumerators' districts were cut up
into small territories. Mr. Porter is
tumble to do anything in the
way of rectifying omissions , ami
it looks us though 'the doccmiimted figures

The senate committee has amended the bill
extending the time of moment for purchase
of lands in the Omaha-Indian reservation by
directing that the secretory of the treasury
shall compute and pay all interest hrrotoforo
received by him , whether added to the prin
cipal or not and now in the treasury , to the
secretary of the interior , and by him paid to
the tribe. The principal and interest have
been blended so that both now stand as one

W. II. Kcmlngton of dmaha called nt TIIK
Btn : bureau this afternoon.
W. K. Peebles left for bis homo at Ponder
to da ? .
Democrats in the houfo and senate are
going back to their old doctrine that till lands
west of the 100th meridian should bo with
drawn from publii ! cutry till all lines cast of
the line , both public and private , have been
properly Inhnbitated for agricultural and
other purposes. There is no doubt that if
they had a majority of congress nnd the
presidency they would accomplish this ob
ject , placing the far western lands into re
tirement under the arid land act. This
would enhance the value of lands iu the cen
tral states and south.
It is understood that the senate will this
week take up the conference report on the
dependent pension bill nnd agree to it. The
house adopted the report last week , but the
senate bus delayed final -action until the sil
ver bill was gotten out of the way.
There seems to bo n Vflt-y wide divergence
of opinion held by members of the house com
mittee on Judiciary respecting the propriety
of adopting the WilsoiF original package
amendment to the interstate commerce law.
Some of the staunchest prohibitionists in the
house are not so eager tot the amendment as
they were some time since , believing that its
adoption will result iu the final overthrow of
the prohibition law. And then the high
license principle appears to be gaining ground
so rapidly that the amendment may fail in
the house , even though it should bo reported.
The most weighty objection laid against
the Wilson amendment is that
it carries the stnt i back to the
days of confederation and gives them so much
states' right pqwerHitJiht if it should bo
adopted there would .b < J"a constant centraliza
tion of power in the Stfttjes. eventually result
ing disastrously to thijJjfederal interests ot
the country. '
Tlicro was a great deal of talk around the
capltol today about the prospects of the fed
eral election bill , which was adopted by the
house republican caucus , but there are few
who believe It can go through the senate.
The democrats intend to talk it to death if
possible , while it is an open secret that sev
eral republican senators oppose it upon gen
eral principles , and especially because they
believe it sectional. Pcmtv S. HUAIH.

Tlic lilnclc Hills Empire ami the City
of I fet Sprlnjju.
HOT Srmxos , S. D. , Juno 17. [ Special
to TIIIJ Biu. : ] Lieutenant Frederick
Schwatka , the great Arctic explorer , lingered
nt the Springs for several days and loft yes
terday for Chicago. Ho was much impressed
with the resources nnd surroundings of the
town and in fact thinks the Black Hills
country an empire iu itself. Fall Uivcr , the
southwest county of South Dakota , is un
doubtedly one of the best counties In the
state and the census returns will show a
larger increase , both in population and devel
opment , than any other7 county in the Da-
kotus. Full Uivcr county is bounded by Ne
braska on the south , Wyoming on the west ,
Ouster county on the npith , and the Sioux
reservation on the cast/ and contains 18JO
square miles , four-fifths ; of which is fine agri
cultural and grazing lands * . The agricultural
lands nro of unequalled fertility and the
grazing lands will support thousands of head
of stock tlio year around with but litjlo
trouble to the owner , as the southern hills
excel as a winter range.
This country is naturally tributary to
Omaha as the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley and B. M. roads both run entirely
through the county from south to north and
will both have lines Into Hot Springs within

mouth gazing at thu columns of

rooting. The mine inspector is making stren
