WASHINGTON , Aup. 23. The Interest In the
financial discussion In congress was trans
ferred to the senate toJny , when Senator
Voorhecs of Indiana made his speech Justi
fying his position lu voting for the uncondi
tional repeal of the Sherman act. Ever slnco
the distinguished chairman of the senate
flnanco committee voted for the report of
the repealing bill the frco coinage people
have felt the blow severely nnd they were
out in great numbers today to hoar the In
diana senator explain his situation. NoaVly
one-third the entire membership of the house
was gathered In the roar seats to listen to
the senator's arguments and the galleries
above were packd to suffocation.
Itlnml'n Woeful Look ) .
Chairman Bland of the house committee on
coinage occupied a seat Just to the loft and
nearly facing Senator Voorhees , nnd gazed
ruefully at him during the entire course of
Ills speech. The speech of Senator Voorhees
was one of his greatest efforts , and while the
scnntor did not nbat'o one Jot his past bime
tallic record , the bunion ot his argument
was directed to proving the repeal of the
Sherman act was nn abstract proposition
which , as a necessity , could have no material
effect on the merits of bimetallism as a
public iiollcy.
Probably not slnco the days when Ingalls' '
magnetic eloquence drew such crowds to the
Bonato has such an assemblage gathered it
the seats reserved for the public in tno
senate chamber as that of today. Not a
oat remained unoccupied when Mr. Voor-
hoes took the floor , and all along the walls
were men nnd women standing.
When Mr. Voorliees arose there was i
bustle of expectation and n murmur ran
through the gallor'.cs , which quickly sub
sided until the chambar was perfostly quiet
The senator spoke in a strong , clear voice
which was perfectly audible , nnd through
out the speech ho was given the strides !
attention.
Mr. Allen gave notice of nn amendment
which ho will offer to the bill reported b ;
Mr. Voorhoes discontinuing the purchase ol
silver bullion. It is proposed to ndd to tin
repealing clause of that bill a provision tha
hereafter standard silver shall bo coined n
the several mints of the United States inti
dollars , halves , quarters and dimes at tin
present ratio of 10 to 1 , under the same con
dlllons as to mintage and other charges en
forced In relation to the coinage of gold
tjiat the secretary of the treasury shall
without unnecessary delay , coin all silvoi
bullion , owned by the government inti
staiidard"silver dollars to bo a legal tender
UHJrjlVoorlie , < ' Great Ellort.
Mr. Voorjiccs of the tlnanco committe ,
then tocfk. tlo lloor and addressed tin
Bomitfi , , lif advocacy pf .tho bill roimrte *
l > ir him 'discontinuing' purchase o
Silver" bullion. The speech had beet
prepared by him In advance , nnd ho delivered
livered ll from typewritten sheets. But i
was spoken witn the energy and vohemenci
Mr. Voorhees has over displayed in a speed
before the sonato. Ho had not boon speak
ing more than fifteen minutes when hi
noticed Mr. Stewart rise us if to ask a qucs
lion or to interpose a remark , and ho prc
vented that by stating that ho declined ! i
advance to yield to any interruptions , am
that ho would have to appeal to the dial
for protection in his right to tlio lloor.
"You will have plenty of tlmo and chance
at me , " ho said , addressing the Novad
senator. "J will bo a nuked object hero an
will answer all questions , I hope I wil
have n little pcacu today for about an hour.1
Ho then resumed tho''speech , but had no
made much further progress before ho wa
again interrupted , tills time by n tremcndou
burst of applause from the gallery , foHou
ing an encomium on Mr. Cleveland. Thi
breach of the proprieties was checked b
Vice President Stevenson , who threatcnc
to have the galleries cleared if the otTens
should bo repeated.
L.OSB of Cocllldonoo lu the Flimiiolitl World
Resuming after the last Interruption , li
explained that the action of the president i
convening un extra session of congress wa
owing to loss of confidence In the linanck
world. This loss of confidence , ho said , wn
not In the credit of the government , whicl
was better today than that of any other 01
the globe. Ho praised the administrate
for its refusal to gratify tUu demand of tli
capitalists for an ls. uo of 100,000,0(1 (
more bonds. Ho summarized th
Clements of the nation's financial strcngt
t within its own borders nud regretted tlui
legislation had checked our foreign trud
and had left us today without a aonimei-clii
friend in the world. Hu had faith that th
plant evil which had crippled the common :
of the country would ha removed with otiie
evils which challenged attention and action
If the true greatness of tlio country wor
studied It would bo seen that financial panic
nnd alarms could have no foundation hero.
There was another exceedingly poworfu
test of the government's credit. Money wn
simply a medium for exchange ; mono
wns a creature , congress Its creatoi
Gold nnd its alleged intrinsic value went fc
naught ns circulating medium unless th
com bore the stamp of the govornuien
The same oftlclnl stamp on silver or paper 11
once ennobled them to un equality with got
In purchasing power , no matter how debase
or valueless thu material may have bccom
as commodities by sinister or unwise legi :
latlon.
Never but once had these currencies boo
\ discredited by the government , and tin
would never happen again. It was the duty i
the government to furnish a sound , rollabl
constitutional money for the people ,
Hum in uu Kvll Hour.
Wo are now controntod by a law wlthoi
precedent or parallel in American history ;
law which has resulted In ilnaticlal paul
alarm and distress , und for whoso appe
congrc&s has been convened. Ho characto
ized It ns a compromise born in an evil houi
n incas ire to induce producers of silver
surrender their rights to free coinage. I
creators now stoou roidy to leave tt
victims of tholr misplaced confidence emp
handed without thu privilege of coinii
their silver or soiling it as a morcanti
commodity to the government , Silvi
degraded to n commodity could no long
hold Its place with gold us purl of the spec
basis of this country , und it was no
reeling , staggering under the blo\ \
until Us enoinlos predicted with Ji
Us speedy destruction. Ho congratulati
the uomouraoy that not a single democrat
vote hud been cant hi favor of the act. As
blniptalllsv ho voted against the passage <
the bhorman act and for the sania reason 1
would now vote for Us ropenl , Ho avowi
his unshaken faith that silver would roma
forever ono of the world's great and potei
lind potent factors lu business transaction
It would neither bo demonetized nor drivi
away from the habitations of the greui <
musses of mankind ,
Thu question was uskod whether vet
hould bo given for unconditional repeal
the law before a substitute hud been agre
upon. Ho was In favor of eradicating t
confessed evil from the body of our lai
with no other condition than his right ai
ireo ngency to support and secure , In co
ncctum with iti repeal , orafterwnrds by I
dependent measuresa sound linaneui s.vate. .
embracing the coining of silver on
co.u lUy with gold , which bad been t
declaration of the Chicago democratic plat
form.
Champion * the 1'roiililent.
Mr. Voorhecs defended the president from
the charg6 of Insincerity In connection with
the silver plank of the party. Ho said
the president had never recalled , re
tracted or explained a single word of his
loiter of acceptance , which was Just as
binding as when ilrst given to the world. .
Ho was willing to stake his faith In the
truth and honor of Grovcr Cleveland , nnd
hU well known fidelity to pledges when
once nindo. Ho paid n high tribute to Secre
tary Carlisle and said : "God hole the demo
crntlo party If we arc to turn our backs
on such men ns the president nnd
his secretary. " Ho spokoof ratloas n , matter
of detail which concrcss would establish on
n fair basis. Ho said th'i coplo would not
tolerate n single gold standard , and then ho
addressed himself to n denouncement of the
selfishness nud greed of the money power
which , had done so much to aggravate
the financial situation.
Hu spoke In favor of the present pension
system ns helpful In the distribution of
money : urged the necessity of thogoveniment
providing n now circulating medium In place
of that furnished nt present by national
banks. Ho favored , In addition to money is
sued by the government , a currency , properly
guarded , issued by state banks.
Ho urged the necessity of financial Icglsla-
. tlon which would furnish n suftlclent volume
of currency on practically a specie basis ,
guaranteed by public honor ; to deprive Indi
viduals , corporations or syndicates of the
power to causa fluctuations in the amount of
different currencies In circulation ; to
maintain on a parity gold , silver nnd
paper money ; to settle the status of silver
money by authorizing it to form a portion of
the specie basis required by the con
stitution for chartered banks ; to
overthrow the dangerous centraliza
tion of the money power now exist
ing nt- too many centers In the hands
of u few Individuals by giving to the people
of the state the right of home rule on the
subject of money , thus securing them homo
circulation.
The speech occupied an hour and thirty-
live minutes.
After Mr. Voorhecs took hit seat ho was
congratulated by many senators. The gal
leries then began to thin out and a majority
of the senators left the chamber.
Other .Speaker * .
Debate was continued by Mr. Dubols m op
position to the bill. What vote of the people
ple , ho asked , had Instructed congress to
abandon bimetallism ! There was not a sena
tor on the floor , ho said , who had not been
elected ona platform which pledged him to
mmotalllsni. No party had declared at any
convention in fnvor of monometallism and
nonq over would. Ho insisted , most ear
nestly , that no representative of the people
had moral right by his vote or on his own
Judgment to place the country on u gold
standard. It would bo a betrayal of the
people.
Mr. Palmer argued In support of the bill.
It could not fairly bo asserted ,
ho said , the that president did
not favor the use of both gold nnd
silver as the standard money of the country :
nor did tt follow , because the president had
failed to say a word in reference to bimetal
lism In his recent message to congress , he
would disapprove of legislation providing fein
n coinage of both metals that would bo ol
equal exchangeable aud intrinsic value. He
expressed thu opinion that the great major
ity of tlio people would not only approve ,
but would rapturously applaud legislation tc
this end. Ho believed , however , that In the
present state of the market It was boyonil
the power of any man to fix the ratio ol
silver to gold , because silver was in a state
of .fluctuation. The present ratio should be
ndjicrcd to , the Sherman law repealed and
* lhe use of silver coin encouraged unu thpc
'the influence of events upon the two metals
might bo watched with the hope that tlu
country .might reach the point where both
"gold nnd silver could bo coined nnd usct
without discrimination between them.
Proved .Much Tulk.
The * hill having been laid aside and the
cane of the Montana senatorahip laid bo fore
the senate , u motion to lay the matter aside
informally and to proceed to the considera
tion of the bill to increase the national banl
circulation was made by Mr. McPherson
The motion provoked much talk , in thi
course of which Mr. Voorliees gave notice
that if it should turn out the national haul
bill , and was to bo used to delay action or
the bill lo repeal the Sherman act , hu shoult
move to sidetrack it. Ho thought it botto
that the senators should bo frank with oacl
other.
*
Mr. McPhcrson's movement was ngrcet
to yeas. 40 ; nays , 10 and the national banl
circulation bill was accordingly taken up
the question being ou the amendment offerci'
by Mr. Cockroll for the redemption of sucl
2 percent bonds us may bo offered and foi
payment in a now ssuo of treasury notes.
Mr. Stewart was the Ilrst to take th (
lloor , and ho sot out to antagonize some ol
tlio positions taken in Mr. Voorhees' speech
He compared the position of the Indiana !
to that of a Missouri Judge who , iu a dec !
sionon the fugitive slave case before the war
was said to have "given the law to thonorU
and the negro to the south. "
After a brief debate the amendment weni
over without action.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Peffer am
went elver until tomorrow , calling on tin
secretary for a report as to whethornationa
banks in New York. Boston and Philadolphii
were being conducted in violation of law
whether they were payirg depositor's check
promptly In lawful money and whether the ;
were demanding rates of Interest highc
than provided by la v for loans of money 01
for the discounting of notes.
After ti short executive session the sonatc
adjourned.

WASIIINOTOX , Aug. 22. The financial dis
cusslon In the house today was , for the mos
part , monotonous , the greater interest beni ;
centered in the senate.
Mr , Hopkins of Illinois fuvoreJ uncondl
tional repeal , stating that although ho cam
from an agricultural district ho would oj
pose ovcry free coinage amendment to b
proposed by Mr. Bland und his friends.
Tho. urprlso of the day w.is the speech o
Hepburn , who was comptroller of the cut
rency under the Harrison administration
Ho disagreed with his party colleagues , an
emphatically declared against the repeal c
tha Sherman law. That Inw , ho contendec
hud been beneficial in its effects and :
should not now bo repealed.
Brlckner , doipocra , of Wisconsin , oponc
the debate by a speech in favor of the ri
peal of the Sherman law ,
Mr , Mnllory of Florida , was opposed t
the unconditional repeal of the purchuslu
clause of the Sherman act and was also 01
posed to the free coinage of silver nt th
ratio of 10 to 1. Ho regretted that som
middle ground had not been reached and I
was with hesitancy that ho would vet
aftirmatlvely uion | any of the proposition
presented to the houso. Hu attributed t
the tariff the creator share of the preset
depression , but the demonetization of sllvi
would still further separate the wealth
classes from the working men.
Nut Frco from t'artltuiulilp ,
Mr , Hopkips of Illinois , road some po
ttons of the prcstdcut's message and con
mended them. Tim republicans hud com
hero to meet their democratic colleague :
not as partisans , but as representative :
They had come to "meet the demands of Hi
people iu this emergency and to show tli
country that sectionalism and partUanstil
would not control either of thu great pa
ties , Tins was the hope that- had been li
dulgcd tn , not only by the republicans , hi
by the people. They were were all fated I
disappointment , ho loared.- The Bland res
Union , fixing the order of business , hud bee
adopted without consultation with a sing

ocratlo partisan consideration. No parti

to TUB UEE.J The majority of the delegates
to the democratic state convention which
meets tomorrow have arrived and Iho bal
ance will como iu on the morning trains.
The convention will probably bo us largo
and considerably more lively than Its repub
lican opponent last week. The convention
will bo hold In the Grand opera house us
probably being more In harmony with dcino ,

that Governor Bolus has given his consent
to this arrangement.
Bestow has the support of the Eighth con
presslonal district and many friends In the
Third , Seventh and Ninth districts for guv
cruor. There Is some talk of W. .1. Buchanan
or Sioux City , director of the agricultural do
Kartuient at the World's fair. Other possl-
ilitics talked of are Charles A. Clark ol

and W. Winner of DCS Molnes.

'or superintendent of public instruction
: md Judge James G. Day of Des Moines foi
supreme judge. The candidates for railroat
commissioners are J. B. Yoomans of Stou.1
City and N. B. Ilolbrooic of Iowa county.
It U believed that the anti-silver men arc
getting the opposition party well in hand.
There will bo n largo contingent of ranipanl
free coinage men in the convention , nud thcj
will make a determined nnd desperate Ugh !
for a silver platform. In every county con
vcntinn so far held efforts have been inadi
by free colnauo advocates to plodRO the dele
gallon for silver with varied results. Proii
present indications the frco coinage men an
in the minority , but this will not proven !
them from using every effort to get a Iret
coinage plunk iu the platform.
Work of tlio Silver Ulomcnt ,
The advocates o'f bimetallism are alrcad. '
on the ground aud using every Influence ti
prevent an open row in the convention , bu
they have already found that the silver moi
cannot bo suppressed.
Members of the state central commlttei
are adroitly pulling the wires to prevent nn ;
open rupture of the convention when tin
question of reorganization shall be con
sidcrcd. Hon. Thomas Bowman of Counci
Bluffs , who has been so generally men
tioncd for the chn'rmanship of the commit
tec , is understood to have positively do
dined to serve in such : i capacity. 13. W
Curry , member of the committee from tin
Eighth district , is working hand nud glovi
with Stuart of Chariton for u reorgaulzatioi
of the committee , ho having signilicd hi :
willingness to wulvo the additional year hi
has to serve if the changes they demand 01
the committee can bo made.
Henry Vollmor of Davenport , temporal1 ;
chairman of the convention , arrived in tin
city this morning. At u meeting of th' '
state central committee , hold just befon
noon , It was determined to recommend ti
the committee on permanent orgauizatioi
thatCato Soils of Viuton bo made perma

along that Senator Yeomans would bo thi
only candidate for i ail road edmmissionei
but within the past twenty-four hours con
sidcrable opposition has developed , hi
opponents unitimr on ox-Koprcseiitativo N
B. Holbrook of Iowa county. There seem
to bo no opposition to the nomination o
James G. Day of DCS Moines for suprem
judge.
On the liquor question the platform wll
probably go a little further than two year

probably bo reduced or loft to u committee

WASHINGTON , Aug. .22. Secretary Smith
today heard arguments of counsel for the
Gilson.A.'jphaltum company for a portion of
the most easterly sites of townships now In
cluded iu the Uncompahgro Indian reserva
tion In Utah. It was tho'contontioii of coun.
scl fortho Indians , that they hold the lands
they occupy by suffrance only , and therefore
neither they nor the secretary of the inter
ior has any right to lease any part of them
for mining or any other purpose. They
argued the only way in vhich the asphalt
deposit on the reservation , can bo rendered
accessible is by restoring the lands to the
public domain nnd that power to restore the
lands by executive proclamation is beyond
question. .
At the conclusion of tlio argument the sec
retary announced he had very serious doubt ;
as to his authority to execute minim ; leases
on this reservation and in any event hi
would not do so. Ho thought it probable hi
would send a communication to congress ot
the question of opening the re enfatioa or i
part of It to settlement.
