In tlio senate todny the greater part of thu lime was oceti- pii'd liv Srnator Pugh in opposition to the re peal uf the Sherman law , lie was followed by Senator Teller of Oolcrado , also against the bill , who con- clu'ted ' the speech he began on Saturday hist. The silver mon neither Saturday nor today followed tin- tactics inaugurated early last week of insisting upon the presence of u quorum , and apparently the feeling between tlif friends and opponents of repeal is much better than it has been heretofore during the session. Hoth Mr. I'ngh and Mr. Teller discussed the qt.cstion in a calm and Olgnlllcd manner and they were accorded most respectful atu ntion. Mrllindlxtn liiilrlfiiil ill" Cliliiiiiimn. Mr. Dolph , lepubllcan , of Oregon , pre sented a petition from the conference of the Methodist ICpiscopal church of Oregon for tin repeal of the deary act. The petition nlh-L'cs a state of affairs as to that law whiih Mr. Dolph said showed that much of the opposition to that law was the result of ignorance as to Its imnisions and their ef fect Hcferring to tlio bill recently Intro duced in the hjuse extending thu time of the registering ono year , ho said ho would have no objection to its enactment into law if sueli action were requested by the Chinese government , or if there were any assurance that the Six Companies would permit Chinese laborers to register. Mr. Stewart of Nevada submitted a reso lution for the creation of a committee of five senators to ascertain and report whether any senator is a stockholder or Is interested in any national bank. Hit said tne otyans of Wall street and I oinharil street had for several years charged senators representing fcllviT slates with voting on matters in which they were personally interested. He hail not for llftetn years been interested in nnv respect personally in any silver mine erIn In bullion. lEvtllcctloti on thn Seimtft * Mr. Hill , democrat , of Now York , thought the resolution was not a wise one and ho could not believe that the senator from Nevada was serious in presenting it. It ws ; an unprecedented and unheard of resolution. "Sir , 1 cannot resist the conclusion. " he bald in tones of gravity , "that the intro duction of this resolution is to some extent n rellcction upon the sunale. The Intimation Implied by it is that senators would be m- fluenccd'by holding slock in nalionat banks in reference to the passing of financial mcaxincs. The senate would belitllo itself by Insululing any such Inquiry. 1 think it an uncalled for and unnecessary resolution. " Mr. Stewart attempted lo reply , but an objection from Mr Hawley , republican of Connecticut , sent the resolution over until tomorrow. The repeal bill was then taken up and Mr. Teller of Colorado , who was entitled to the floor , yielded to Mr. Pugh. He said that the message of tlio president calling an extra session was a declaration in favor of u gold standard. If the Sherman law was uncon ditionally repealed sucti action would cause discontent among the toiling millions to such an extent that Uiey would shake Iho country. Ho would never vote for uncondi tional repeal , but favored any substitulo which carried out Iho platform uf lliu demo cratic party. Mr. Teller , republican , of Colorado then resumed his speech begun on Saturday against Iho repeal bill. Ouicr.-HS Couldn't , Mend It. Mr. Teller asserted , nnd ho believed It could be demonstrated , that if it had not been for a preconcerted effort in the money center of the country to prevent U , the 1st of September would have seen better times in tlio finances ot Ihe country lh.ui the people ple are experiencing today , It was admitted now by all the great financial authorities of New York thai the panic ivas over. Ho met one day recently a gentleman ot national reputation and said lo him : "When will this panic bo over ; " Tnat gentleman replied. "When the men who called it on. call It on" . The bankers of New York called It on ; when they get realty to call it off , it will como olT. " The calling of congress did not relieve tlie country ; in fact the condition became worse from the lime congnss was called In extraordinary session. Mr. Teller said ho would at some other time plvo to the senate bis conception of the cause for the recent distressed condilion. In his opinion il was duo lo legislallvu miscon duct. Hl'H'I.H Bellini ? Ahovo Their Worth. Mr. Teller next directed himself to stock operations.

The prospect that all will not in ; able to secure ecrtilieate.s by Saturday noon is causing many boomers to go to other booths alomr tbo line.

On the one side is the barbed wire fence , which encloses the reservation , and on the Kansas side the hedge which surrounds u farm , 'ielwoen is a narrow road , a foot deep In dust. Along the fence stretching west tire three lines of men standing and sitting on the ground. 'I he air is iilleil with dust which Hangs In the still air. Around the three army tents which compose the booths is stretched a wire fastened to posts , inside of wiiich are three or four soldiers keeping the crowd out and putting out those who have registered. So great was the movement of horsemen and wagons toward the boot'i ' yesterday that by last evening the roads leading there were so congested by horses anil wagons that it was impossible for a horseman to get through and very dinicult for a man on foot. The air was so tilled \vithdiist , that looking south from thn city the blue of the sky was concealed. Along the roads loadingsouth a constant movement of wa ons and men kept up all night long. As early as daylight men on foot with canteens strapped to their backs were moving along through the suf focating air on the roads with handkerchiefs tied acruss their mouths.

H mattered not to them that they nad been sitting in the dust for thirty-six hours ; that tluy worn thirsty , tinted and unwashed. They wanted to get , into line and be registered , and any prospect ojf duing so revived their spirits.

After him a number of women were let in and registered , the llrst one , Miss ICate Diirand of this place. ' 1 hey had nut stood in line but the men had chival rously given them precedence. During the first hour the total Inadequacy of the registration system became apparent. Less than 100 people got their certificates and great Imp.itienco was beginning to be exhibited. The clerks were badly rattled and stopped to discuss the question of regis tration with boomers. As the day progressed the clerks became moro used to their woric and got along a litl.o more rapidly.

( Special to Tin : HUB. ] The Rtato liousn gang Is still venting its spleen against Chief Justice Maxwell for daring to dissent from the majority opinion in the impeachment cnsp , and It seems that this feeling of resentment Is shared to a surprising douree by tlie Judge's associates on the supreme bench. The latcsl ebullition appears in the Mlnden ( tazctto , and purports to he some of Iho "Inside" history relallng to the famous dissenting opinion. It shows on Its face thai it was given out either by n iiiember of the court or by some ono who stands very closely to one of them in conll- denllal matters. The article is as follows : SDMI : iiMvitmiiN IMSTOIIV. There Is n bit of unw rltten history comuvtril \\llh the Impeachment trial , and now for the llrst time the tiiizottu gives It to tint people of the state. It shows very plainly that I'hlef .Ilistlee Maxwelleltlicr had his mind made up before the tilal ttas over or else had sonei object In vltMy other than the host Interests ot the stale. \Vhun the evidence was all In nnd tlio nrgti- inent was concluded .Inilae Maxwell tuni"d to .liiilgo Post and siiKuestiMl that It Mould be a Bond Idea to adloiirn court for a time. Hoth Judges Post and Noryul olijivlud , .s.iyhiK U was best ID consul ! before taking nn ndjiiurn- inent , but Juilce Maxwell was oliiluraie and court Was adjourned. Afler walling some tlmo for MuMM'll to call tlie couit to'-'clher , Judge Post wrote and MigRvstuil that It was ilmo thai some action was liiUen , as It wasmiluit to tlio state olllcers to lpi-p tlie'n In siispeiisp any lniiRer. Maxwell wrote In reply that he wa's too sick to intend to any business whatever , and that as soon as he was able he would cou- voiio the court. Time passed on and thu asso ciate Indues repealed- ! wintii urging tlio chief justice loconvetu1 court , and each lime ho replied that tin was iinabht to attend to work. Al last he did call I he court together. No.sooner hail tin- three Judges seated them selves In the consultation room than-Judge Post turned to the chief Justice rind .said : "Judge , let us hear the opinion you have u re pa veil. " Tim chief justice reached down Into his In side pocket and dtv\v out ( hit opinion Hint lie afturwaids tiled as the dissenting opinion of tlio court. All thu time that the chief Justice was at homo and writing to his as ; elates that he was too sick to woiU , he was writ Ing that opin ion , llenas determined to Hie It as Ihe opin ion of tin-court , but Judges I'M and N'orval hud nmiiu up Ihclr minds that the state olllcers were Innocent of the charges against them , and they proposed to tllu that as the opinion of the court. And they ilhl , despite tin- proles ) . , of the chief justice , who has bcuii lit lliu hahlt of having | | | s opinions looked upon us the nemo of human wl-dnm In ihc legal line. The opin ion that Judge .Maxwell Hind Is a voluminous document , mid tliu mcru writing of It. to say imthlugof looking up flicmimcioiis cltallons , would lake about all his tlnr- from the day Ihe supreme court convened until ihcday Ihe court wiis called together again. It will bo 10- iiiembeiuil that tlin opinion was not tiled tlie. first tlmo the court convened after thu liii- peachmcnl trial. The justieus had not had an opnortunity loconfnr , lint .In lue Mu.xwell , al though too sick to hold court or consult with Ills associate.- , was not ton sick to write tliatoiilnlim. The attention of Judge Maxwell was called to the article today , and ho was asked to ex press himself concerning It. Uniuilllk-illy ] and Abinliitnly 1'nUe. "It is not in accordance with my ideas of Judicial propriety to publicly discuss the privnlc affairs of tlio consultation room , " lui said , "but inasmuch as the statements made In that article reflect on me and are abso lutely and unqualifiedly ialso I do not hesi tate to so pronounce them. There is hut the slightest tissue of truth on which the alleged revelation is based , and the story ns written is false to u degree. 1 um quite cut lain that 1 know the source from which it emanated , and although I perhaps ought not to be sur prised at tliis ono of a multitude of false hoods concerning mo that are being per sistently circulated , I certainly am surprised that one occupying Ihe position of the insti- gatir of tint article should stoup to work of that kind. The statement tlm' , the other members of the court waited for me to call the court together is entirely without any foundation in fact , as it was plainly understood when court adjourned that it would meet on the following Monday morning , which It did. As 1 remember it now , Iho casn was submitted Wednesday nnilit , and I was at thu stale house early the next mornlinr , as is my custom , to look over the evidence and see if the impressions I enter tained at tlio close of tlie trial were properly based on the evidence introduced. I worked for two or three hours , applying nn.self so closely that I was attacked with a violent heartache. My associates came in about 11 o'clock , and the manor was talked over. 1 said that I wanted moro limo to consider the case , as my mind was not fully made up. 1 further stated that the case was a very im portant one , and that written opinions ought to be tiled. \Vlmt Ito Ily Did llnp..oii. "I do not cam to state what was said on the other side , as that is something for my associates to make public if it is to bo given out. 1 will say , however , that it was well understood liy all of the members of the court on ttiat morning that I intended lo file an opinion , whether dissenting or other wise , and that wo adjourned until a llxed time , when that opinion was to bo ready. It is true Unit 1 was sick when 1 came liome , hut it is not true tint 1 was written to anil asked lo convene court , or that I wrote in reply that I was too sick toile so. I did pre pare my opinion bouveen Iho limo nt ad journment and the following Monday morn ing when court convened again , and I had it there ready to lllo at that tlmo , hut It was not tiled until a week later , as another ad- journinciu was taken for a week to enable. Judge Post lo wrlto his opinion. I have no apologies to make for an.\ thing that I uid or said In that connection. I havealwajs main tained that written opinions should 'no filed in important cases , believing that if the ground ! ! on which nn opinion Is hasud will not stand public scrutiny It should fall. I believe that there Is something moro to bo expected from a court that does Its duty than the more deciding of u case ono way or lliu other , with possibly the bare additional statement that a member of the court dissents. Willing to ( in on Itpcnril , "I think It right and proper that opinions be tiled in writing , thai limy limy speak lor themselves. J am awnro that it makes moro won ; for thojuugps , but Hint ought to bo n minor consideration , and it is such us far as 1 am concerned , t feel that I may bo puid'incd fur speaking of tlio court , for I know that J am thoroughly acquainted with it , and I am ilvmly conviced that if three judges will give tha work Ihe limo and attention it ought to have the docket could ho kept clear. So far as opinions uro con cerned , I am aware that it may not always bo pleasant lo bo called upon lo write Ilium and go upon the record in detail , but 1 am convinced that the best interests of tlio state are best subserved In that way , and , so fai ns I am concerned , I prefer to give my rea sons for my actions ami Hum lot ihum stander or fall , according to the merits of truth uua equal justce.1' SO.MI : OM : KM\V. : i\ldcnco Unit tlio Ciinullnil Adv.inco Tip ) on lliu C'ourl'H DfrUliin , LINCOLN , Kept. 11.
