WAHHINOTOS , Aug. ill. Tbo speech of Mr.
Wolcntt ngalnst the bill to repeal the pur
chasing clause of the Shnrman not was de
livered In the senate today In the presence
of almost nil the senate nnd n laigo lobby.
The telling parts of It , and those that Inter
ested his hearers , were some humorous nnd
sarcastic touches In which ho depleted the
conversion of democratic statesmen fiom
tholr belief In silver nnd tholr devotion to
bimetallisms the gold monometallism be
lief of the president.
The next speech was on the opposite sldo
of the question nnd was by Mr. Caffcry , the
successor of Mr. Gibson of Louisiana. This
was his first appearance In the senate ns a
spocchmakcr , but the speech was remark-
nblo ns a pronounced declaration in favor of
-unconditional repeal of the Sherman law , nl-
thouirh lie admitted the position taken by
him might not meet the appiov.il of his
stnto and might put ti bar to his further po
litical career.
Mr. Coekrcll introduced a concurrent icso-
luilon directing the secretary of the treas
ury ( under section 2.V. ) , Revised Statutes ) ,
to Issue certificates , not to exceed 'JO per
cent of the amount of gold coin and bullion
in the treasury , and to use nnd spend the
same in payment of Intciest on the public
debt or anything else it was needed for. Ilo
said tbo passage of this icsolution would
allow the issue of fiom S. > ,00,000 ( ) to $ .13.000-
000 In gold cortlllcnles Laid on Iho table
Mr. Vooibees moved that the senate pio-
eced to the consideration of the house bill to
repeal the Sherman law.
Woloott Taken the Floor.
The motion was agreed to The bill was
taken up nnd Mr Wolcott uddiessed the
senate In opposition to it After constder-
nblu persiflage , in which he twitted
the scnatois on a change of views on the sil-
vcr question to suit the Ideas of the admin-
istr.ulon , ho declared hat Mr Hill's spojch
tnlsht have been as well mndcugainst silver ,
as ho know that fieo coinage svas Impossi
ble by separate act under this ad-
ralnlslinllon. Ho quoted a foiiner utterance
of Mr. Vooihces to show thu Inconsistency of
, th it senator on the silver question. Ilo de
clined that Voorhoes and bhcinmn weio for
the flist time in accord , that Shcim.in would
bo in fact the chairman of the finance com
mittee instead of Vooihees All the senators
knew Mr Cleveland would veto an Inde
pendent silver coin igo measure. Ho hinted
that If this bill passed the fieo silver men
might vote against protection in any fotm
It seemed unnccount iblo that in a panic the
banks sliould object lo an mcicaso
of Iho volume of money. Their plan
SSMS , after iepo.il. to ask und probably cot
nn issue of $100.000,000 in gold bonds. Tlio
speaker then proceeded to controvert the
uiguniuiit that thcio had been an over
production of silver In Iho vvoilil nt big
profits. Ilo showedin Iho case of Leadvillc ,
that $101,500,000 in silver hud heon pioducoJ
nt n cost of $121,500,000 , the loss being
changed to only a fair profit by the value of
other products If only llio silver Mates i
sv 010 concerned thov sv ould acquiesce with
out piotest , bu' . it vvas a national question ,
affecting all parts of tno country.
Cuirury'H 1'irit Klloit.
The floor svas next t ikon by Mr. Cnffcry.
His maiden speech in the scnato was in
favor of the unconditional lupeal of the pur
chasing clause of the Shot man act. He
warned the senator from Colorado ( Mr.
Wolcott ) if ho expcclod to smile away Iho
soi lous money tioublos of the country as
Corvanles had laughed avvay chivalry and
romance from Spain , lie was doomed to sig
nal falluio. Ho was proud of the position of
his native state on the monev question blic
hud alsvass been sound , nnd if his feeble ef
fort svolild avail she alsvass svould bo Sorely
templed , she refused in 1871) ) lo icpiullalu the
principal of her bonded debt. Nosv thu so-
ducllvo offer vvas made to debase the na
tional currency , but her senatois , true to
their convictions nnd the traditions of their
state , had put aside the Inslduous pioposi-
tlon , It might be his fate to feel thu turn
" poniry weight of the forces of Inllillon. .It
! > might bu thnt thu star of his life , just aris
ing abase thu hoii/on , might bo i elapsed
into darkness by icason of his vote , but
como what might , he should stand fast to
the deep conviction thut-ho should bo 10-
crrunt lo his duty should ho add one nang to
povci ty , sliould ho glvo the people a cut-
rcnov that icfusci to requite its to waul
At iho close of Mr. Cattery's remarks Mr.
Cullom gave notice- that ho svould addioss
the sonata nn the icpcal bill next Monday.
A motion having been made by Mr Poffcr
to take up iho resolution heretofore offered
by him as to national bulks refusing lo pay
depositors' checks In currency. Mr. Voor-
hccs said If senators svero not prepared to
go on ssith Iho discussion tie had no objec
tion to other minor mat tots being taken up ,
providing the repeal hill w.u not replaced
Ho gave notice , however , that If ho found at
nny time th it discussion on the repeal hill
wis exhausted no should ask for a voto.
Would Ilo Cilnil to Aid Voorhevi.
Mr. Cullom said ho should bo glad to aid
the senator from Indians In securing a vote
nt any time , whether ho hud made a speech
on the bill or not.
Mr , Vooihees said ho was nwnio it svas
Iho Intention of sonuiois to indulge inn
good deal moro dohato. He trusted thcio
would bu n liberal allowance for full debate ,
for full Intelllgonl discussion , und said that
after It was manifest tlio discussion svas ex-
haunted nnd that it svas only kept up In
order lo consume time , he would insist on a

purpose of sonnlots lo delay action

tlmo honored custom In iho house has boon'
to make the reports ot the committco on
appropriation * nnd wujs nnd means
privileged matters and when the nosv
rules svoro being considered to lay Air.
Springer , chairman of the committee on
banking and currency , suddenly sprung nn
amendment , extending the same favoritism
lo the committee on banking nnd currency ,
Mr. ICIlgoro followed with nn amendment
nlso , including the committco on coinage ,
nnd , although these amendments wcro
sharply opposed , the last vvas adopted by a
vote of 13.1 seas to 03 nays , and the original ,
ns amended , adopted by a vote of nearly two
to ono Not until It was all over did the
house generally rcnllro the Immense victory
gained by the bimet.Ullsts. Und or this rule ,
the commltteo on colnago can report a silver
bill at any tlmo nnd force its consideration
by th" house and the committee on binking
nnd currency will have the same right.
Tnkm Atrny 1'nrt of It * Powors.
Incidentally , nlso , the house , by the
adoption of ttioso amendments , has broken
away from the leadeishlp of the committee
on rules , presided over by Speaker Crisp ,
and has declared it will no longer bo In the
power of that committco to determine if
free coinage bills shall bo accorded recog
nition. Tim roll call of the house
today shows that many members who voted
for the Wilson bill supported these amend
ments , thus justifying their declarations
that they favor the piinclplcs of bimetal
lism , but voted for Immediate repeal of the
purchasing net as n means of lestorlng con
fidence. Among those who thus voted vvas
Mr. Springer , the originator of the move
ment today carried out by the house giving
the right of way to silver legislation.
When the house mat this morning It re
sumed consideration of the rules nnd Mr.
Pieldcr's nmundmcut to increase the mem
bership of the commltteo on i dies vvas re
jected.
Mr. Hooker's amendment to Increase the
incinbctship was nlso lost.
On motion of Mr. Kilgoro nn amendment
vvas adopted giving the committco on ways

Mr Hooker moved to strike fiom the mles

If It was adopted iho title of the committee

Mr Catchlngs denied that much of iho
declaration , thut under the pioposed rule ,
the committee on i tiles could contiol the

vote of " 3 to Or.
Mr. Stockdalo offered nn amendment , re

Agreed : Yeas , 13) ) ; najs , 03 i'hen the vote
occunodoii Mr. Springer's amendment and
it was adopted by a vote of 10J to 53
Mr Hoolicr moved to sttiko fiom the pie
posed i tiles thu clause which permits the
spcaKcr to decide a dilatory motion. He
was unwilling to vest the speaker wlthaiii
such power and he vvus unwilling to em-
barrass him bv giving him any such povvet.
He did not wish to nut the present speaker ,
in thesamoembariussingpostllon that had
been occupied bv thu distinguished speaker
of the Fiftj-lhst congiess This rule , ho
contended , Imposed upon the speaker a duty
which ho should huso never put on him.
Mr. Outhvvnite of the committco on rules
suggested the amendment went fui thcr than
his lemntlcs vyould lead the house to beliosc
It svould strike out tbo clause which pro
vided that it should ill was s bo in order to
'call ' up for consideration u icpoit from the

Mr. Hooker then modified his amendment
so us to mnko It icfer moiolv to light of the
speaker lo decide srtmt are dllatoiy motions.
( Jrltlolieil the Kami Itulc8
Mr. DoArmond criticised the rules of the
rifty-flist congtess. but especially criticised
the decision of Speaker Reed bofoio any

had counted In quotums in tolal disiogaid of
llio general pimciples of pullimcntuii law.
A reference made by him to the decision
of the supreme com t biought Mr. Uce.l lo

Iracl mot with Mr Reed's disapproval It
svas un excelpt to the affect thai Mr Outh-
svatlo 1'ad objected to having been counted
by Speaker Reed when ho had not been
present. Mr. Reed said the o\truet was not
correct. The gentleman fiom Ohio ( Oulh-
walto ) svould bear him out in sajingitvvns
admitted thcio had been an cirorand the
oiror had been corrected. The other ex
it acts svoie then lead , nil criticising
Speaker Reed's ruling in the matter of the
countincr of u quorum.
Mr. Reed said the icmarks of llio gentle
man from West Vlicinla sscio only an echo
of the chorus of the Plftj-flist congu'ss , but
he svas glad to see those icports weic dying
and not increasing. Mho gentleman fiom
West Vliglnla had two jejisugo uplifted
his solco in denunciation of the ITfij-llist
congioss. After Iheso tsso je.us the gentle-

iho aid of stenogruphois und tipowntcis ,

Then Mr. Ouihvvalto demanded the pie-

lomark : "That is just what I expected ,

WASIIINUTON , Aug . : iu )
There was n rumor around the capital
today that the baker's dozen of populist con
gressmen , believing that they should glso
osidcncaof their faith in silver and hutted
of gold , had refused to receive gold coin In
payment of their salaries. This was payday
In Washington for all who drosv salaries
from Uncle Sam , nnd gold coin svas paid to
all classes. Inquiry failed to disclose any
concerted action or understanding among
the populist congressmen as t& receiving
gold coin , but it svas found that
a number of them had actually re
fused to iceelvo the yellow coin from
the pacing clerks of the tsvo houses of con-
gicss. Representatives McICoIghiu and
Ketn ot Nebraska stated that it was true
that they had refused to receive gold uotn in
liquidation of their salaries , whicli amount
to little over M1G a month , but both denied
that they had icfuscd tjold because they ssere
picjudlccd against that class of money.
They said they did not svant It because It
is ns bulky. Mr MoIColghun accepted a
check against the govcinment and Mi. Hem
simply deposited his coin with thoseigonnt-
nt-utms of the house It is very liKcly ihat
the populists attempted to net In concert
nnd show their haired for gold , but Inter
thev concluded to put another light upon
their action.
hi tor Son itnra to Organize.
An effort sv 111 bo made by the uxlicmo sil
ver sen itois to secuio an organlwtiou of
thcli forces sv 1th a view to lalking Iho 10-
pu.il bill to death and preventing n final
vote. If they fail In this they will puae-
tically give up their light. Thev acknowl
edge lhat they nre In the minority ness in
Iho senate by a margin of eight or ten , nnd
that their number Is constantly decreasing
by the prosel.\ ling influences of the admlnis-
tiatlon and the piessuio from the country.
If they could all get together and icsolvo lo
stand linn and do all that lies in their power
to defeat u vote , they might win , but with
out that oiganUntlon defeat is certain , and
within the next thiee or four weeks
It is hardly likely that nn oiganization c in
bo effected , us nearly every ono of the demor
cratle senrtors havoglvcn notice to Senators
Teller , btewart , Jones of Nevadn , and Du-
bols that they will do nothing in the line of
filibustering , that they will only talk and
vote and will do nothing to delay final ac
tion. The outlook of the free coin igc light
Is discouraging for its friends The popu
lists , feeling thai the nipc.il of the present
silver law will augment their tnnks , aroio-
ported to bo anxious for a final vote ngalnst
the bill Tliov believe that repeal will bo
the caiiso of many republicans and democrats
leaving their pirties und joining the populist
p.utj.

committco is opposed to both of llieso incns-
utes und would not ioport them , whllo the
committee on agiiculturo , which has hereto-

impossible for the speaker to entertain a
motion to chaneo the reference of n bill to

Loch re n of the pension bureau has Issued nn
order modifying- the 'practice of the ofllco.
'I ho most important change la thnt wnlch
directs that hnroafter there will bo no sus

In sneaking of this jjew onlor today the
commissioner said tliat.tho change had been
made nt the request ot the secretary , who
questioned the fairness of the old paetlce of
the biuoau , which suspended pensioners
during Investigation , A larger number of
pensioners were found liable to suspension
under the old practice than had boon antici
pated , nnd cases svero found svhora persons

Increased slnco the data df being pensioned
nnd who are now entitled to remain on the
rolls. In ovary Ingtarca as soon as thcso
cases vrcro called to the attention of the
bureau the correction was made , but it was
feared the suspension might work hardship
by preventing the payment of pensions to
those who at present are legally entitled to
the simo , though they were not at the tluio
