WAShINGTON , Jan. 31.-A critical stage
oC the financial 11scuulon was unexpectedly '
precipitated In the Cate at a Into hour

to the subject throughout the day , but It was' '
without defInite form or purpose , and the '
cenato fnaly lapsed Into a discussion or the

finally , at I o'cocc , Mr Gorman launched
a slleech l which proved to be one of the most
effective ho has delvereJ at the present session -
sion ot congress lie pointed out the gravity
oC the treasury sItuation , IntimatIng the
- facts were being heM back , ali that an In-
, 'estgaton would show startlIng deficiencies.
lie Ilefelled the senate against charges uf
Impotency , all declared he had perfect faith
that this great body woul do Its full duty
before congress adjourned. He said a fnau -
cal remedy would , IC necessary , be added as
n rider to an appropriation bill , Spurred on
by the energy Mr. Gorman had sUddenly In-
Jecte,1 , Into the question , the senate at once
proceeded to consider and pass three hn-
IJortant resolutions callIng on Secretary Car-
Isle for information cOlcerlng every detail

A warm party debate occurred during the

Mr. I'eIfer. populist oC Kan53s wished to
introduce a financial resolution alI to prefac

Mr. harris , democrat oC Tennessee , objected
to the vicious practice of snaking arguments
when measures were presented.

Mr. Gorman where he was going to get the
money.
"Tho president Is going to borrow I , " sug-
geeed Mr. Stewart.
Mr Sherman of Ohio said that the District
appropriations were exceptional , being for
the seat ot the national government , and there
should be no niggardly action.
Mr. Allen of Iowa poke of tIme manner
In which time government was running behind
In Its re"enues. The frt Iluty oC congress
was to raise revenues as well as to appro-
prlnte for necessary expenses. Mr. Allison
said tle tarIff bill hall largely increased the
free list and brought In foreign articles with
lowered duties. There was therefore ample
insane of Increasing our revenues by n [ mal
increase In tariff rntes. This Ihould bo
done instead or drawing Crom the treasury
the reser'o to pay current exp ncs. Mr.
Allison s1hl ! a surplus hall been main-
tamed the gold reserve would not ha\e" been
trenched on to meet the treasury nut ! .
This brought on the financial discussion
again Mr. Gorman said the gold reserve
was originally created to redeem green hacks ,
UI' to the time of the passage oC tbe Mc-
1lnley bill time government hall plenty of
gold anti time Iohl reserve was Intact. lint
the McKinley law started n change and one
) i
year from the tme Mr. .Harrlson .came Into
the IJresldtmcy he was unable to meet the
Ilemands on the treasury. The bankruptcy
of the government began at that thnme. , "We
have InherltcII this lear , " continued Mr.
Gorman , "We are carrying this tremendous
burden "
The senator Ileclarell that time crisis was
far graver than was known. lie hoped the
real deficiencies ot the treasury would be
disclosed In response to senate resolutons ,
I was tmo the country knew it. lie hall I
hoped the officers charged wih the highest .
executive ditties would appreciate the gravity
oC the conditions lS to hack oC revenues and
would malc them IJla11 ; to congress. Dy this
tme Ir" Gorman was speaking with great
earncstmmesmm
In time present grave emergency he did not
fear the senate would be found Impotent.
WILL MEET THE Ella NCY.
"It wi meet this great emergency , " said
Mr. Gorman. "If In mme other way It will
1IIIaco In an appropriation bill a provision by
which every obligation uf this government will
he amply met ald the honor of the govern-
ment be maintaIned. " lie dhl not care what
the details oC this pro\lslon might be , what
kind oC money was to b6 provided but he
appealed to time republican senators to join
In Ineetng the Issue I was their duty as
wel as that of thi democratic senators.
! r , Hil was at once on his feet asking
why tIme senator from Maryland had not al.
lowed the financIal resolutions to pass earlier
In the day.
! r. Gorman said he wanted them to pass
and would now move to lay aside the Die-
trict appropriation bill and \it the financial
resolutions on their Immediate passage. The
reolutons' were accordingly brough forward
and agreed to within a few minutes without
a word of argument -
Time first resolution , proposed by ! r. Hill .

the 6ubstantal features of this legislation

Mr. Ahilson's resolution calling on the secretary -
retary for Informaton as to tlme use of the
gold reserve for current expelses , and the
amount oC proceeds from the sale oC bonds
similarly used , was also agreed to , with an
amellment by Mr. Gorman. TIme amend-
mont Is very comprehenslvo and calls on the
secretary for details on every possible detail -
tail oC revenue , reserve deficiency , assets ,
I etc" , that can shed any lght on the financIal
siuaton , The amendment and resolutons
were adopted without dissent aCer Mr. Tel-
her had suggested that Mr. Gorman ought to

Mr. Doatner , democrat of Louisiana , followed -

ton to the fact that the conspicuous fea-
turo oC every legislative luau proposed for

'Thero Is a man. ' 1 looked again and saw no :
ono and thought . 1 must have been mistaken
when , 1 saw fIve o six men. Our team was
going on a good fast trot , and when we got
about opposite time sod wal I saw six or
eIght men come out oC the old wall . They
made a lot oC noIse and commenced shootn ,
and Etta says : 'Oh , 1 am simot , ' Time horse
broke loose and puled Henry over the dash-
board. Thmera wims blood on' Barrett's neck ,
and he sail he was shot There was a
wagon , buggy , road cart and two on horseback -

wi come . ' to O'Nel 1 will tel you as best
"Tho man said : "Vo want II now , '

Ing to see I there waR any goolness ) In
