WOLCOTT m SOLUTIN SHELVED.
Senator-elect Carter 01 Montana aple.uel !

by the senutors. TIme presldlug officer Ilrt
sentel the Wolcott silver resoluton coming

Idlver coinage at a rate or 16 to I. but statIng -
Ing that It was Inexpedient at thIs time to
take lp the sliver bill. Mr Cal sought to
talc up the Indian appropriatIon bill . but he
was cM oI by the objection or Mr. Butler of
South Carolina . In charge of the pooling bill.
A bill was passed granting the railroad
companies additional powers to secure rights
of way. etc. . In the IndIan territory.
Mr. Higgins then addressed time senate on
the Wolcott resolution. Ho urged that It was

repeal of the Sherman law was notice to
notce
the world that time United States would no
longer bo the patent ass to bear the burden
of silver.
At 12 o'clocl the hour of unfinished business -
ness arrived and a sharp controversy arose
as to time precedence of various bills.
The \Volcot resolutIon under the rules
went to the calendar.
Mr. Gorman appealed to the senators to

'Volott resolutIon and tale up time appro-
p.rlnto.n bIlls which were deman11ng atten-

. Mr. flutler. In charge of the pooling bill .
objected and demanded a roll call. Time
motion irevalhed-55 to 12.
The effect of the veto was to displace the
silver bill as time unfinished business and to
send It back to the calcndar. anl
The vote against time Indian appropriation
bill was not a test of strength or time Iloolng
bill . as many friends of that measure voted
to consider the Indian bill .
The negative vote was : Danchnrd , Butler .
Camden , Cameron , Faulkner hlunton Jones
of Arkansas , Lindsay Mills , Mitchell of
IViacommalu . Quay , 'Volcott-Total , 12.
The Indian appropriation bill baing taken
up Mr. HIggins contInued his Interrupted
speech on time ilnances.
m Mr. Manderson offered nn amendment to
the Wolcot resolution , as follows :

reiterate my former recollenlaton that
the workIng force of the patent office be
Inereasel and that the appropriation be In-
creased by $64.000 la order that the work of
classification whelm now falls to the present

IndIspensable condItIon upon which reason-

offered an ammendmmmemmt providing that two of

time torpedo boats simouid be built on the ails-

Mr. Taibott . In charge of the bill . accepted
the amendment. .
An amenlment by Mr. Sa'er to strIke
out the ite'n. for the authorIzaton or three
battehIps at a cost exclusive of armnamnemmt
of $4.000,000 each was lost after considerable
debate.
SAVERS WAS OPPOSBU.
Mr. Sayers In closing for the opposition ,
frankly admitted that he did not expect h'9 '
amem1ment to carry . The Cramps were hne ,

that this bi would pass. Time Cramps ha(1

immg out the provisIon for the three bate-

-67 to 199-and the bill was then passed
without d"lslcn : ,
Mr. aiccrery chairman of the commlte
on foreign affairs . then called up the con-
erence report on the diplomatic and can.
sular apprcprlaton ! ' bIll. He then explaIned
that 1hcuse conferees had refused to' agree
to the senate amendment appropriating $500.-
000 for a submarine cable to the Hawaiian
Islands . and he would ask the house to further
Insist on that disagreement. '
! r. Htt of Illinois moved that the honse
recede from Its disagreement.
McCrear3' spealcng In opposItIon to the
moton , contended It was against the estab-
lshed polIcy of time government to embark
In the enterprise of building submarine cables.
10 believed I should bo eonlelned and de-
fented. I entered upon he stated this work
would ulhnatel ) ' cost 3000000. No country
ho said , hud caused us more excitement and
annoyanee than Hawaii. Wo had lost $56.-
000,000 throngh the treaty negotiated In 1876
permitting the free Importalon or sugar and

rIco.Mr. . Doutele chnlenged Mr. McCreary's
statement that wo hal not enough c mier-
elat Intercourse with Honolulu to warrant
a submarine cable. More Amerlcnn tonnage
entered and cleared at limo Jort or Honolulu
than at any port or the civilIzed world. "I
prefer a submarine cable , " sold Mr. Doutele ,
"to submarIne dlplomaey. " ( Lamighmter )
PARTISANSHP WAS DEPLORABLE
Mr. Jlt deprecated partsanship In the discussion -
cessIon of this question . The provision for
time cable hail been placed In time bill In the
senate by the joint VQtes of patriotic men ,
democrats and republicans. lie recalled the
history of past projected cable ccmpanles
whIch contemplated the buildIng of u sub-
marino cable to honolulu. All had failed
because of the falllro or one government or
the other to subidize them. Time people were
opposed to subsidies. The cable would not
