kj - WASHINGTON , Deo. 19. ( Special T le-
\ gram. ) A martial and patriotic spirit has
pervaded the li.ills of congress during the
past forty-eight hours which has excited no
end of reminiscent talk among the older leg
islators , who recall other days when talk of
war merged Into the clash of arms and an
Internecine rebellion that stirred the world.
Since the president1 ! message Senator Qat-
linger has Introduced a resolution to have
the old war ship Constitution dug up and re
armed. Senator Davis has made a move1 to
Inquire Into our condition In Alaska and
whether or not the Itrltlsli were trespassing
tipon our territory by establishing postofllces
on this side ( ho line. Senator Hill * wants
the ex-confederatci restored to their rights
of belonging to the regular army , and , of
course , to accomplish all these results If Is
necessary to have money , and Senator Allen
of Nebraska proceeded to provide the same
by a resolution today , which caused a broad
cmllo to mantis Itself on the faces of the
senate. The senator saw tils opening and
proceeded to play a queen's gambit , the pre
amble reciting that
Whcrcnn , lly the president's message to
congreos December 17 , regarding the
boundary line between Venezuela nml Hrlt-
Ish Gulann , It l.i Hindu' to appear that n
condition of wnr between the Urltlsh em-
lilro nml the United States may suddenly
rise , anil
Whereas , Money Is the flrst Irene In
time or war , nml In mich event the" govern-
mem uses gold , silver and paper money
Indiscriminately until the two former dis
appear and thereafter relics solely on pa
per , therefore
Resolved , That the committee on finance
lie and It Is hereby directed nml enjoined
to Inquire and report by bill or otherwise
whether It would not bo expedient and
proper for the government of the United
Htiiteii t this time to opsn Its mints to the
free nnd unllmttcd coinage of gold and
Hllvcr nt the ratio of IS to 1.
SIMPLY LAID IT OVER.
The senate , however , was not In the mood
for trilling , If such even was Intended , and
that body , knocking out the preamble , ordered
the resolution printed.
Senator Allen , In defense of his objection
to a second reading of the bill to nppolnra
commission , addressed the senate at some
length , Ills speech In effect being that the
Monroe doctrine was on established doctrine
of this country ; that there was no division of
ccntlment on that question ; that wo should
proceed with deliberation , and not with
haste , nnd that wo should find , out whether
the facts In the Venezuelan case would war
rant Us application In this controversy , and
It It did we should apply and maintain It.
Ho thought that there was possibly more of
a political battle arising out of this contro
versy tlinn tno iiKennoou 01 war wuii ung-
land. Senator Allen nmdo his objection to
the second reading of the bill that he might
have time to ascertain just how much poli
tics there was In the movement to refer to
the committed on foreign relations.
It Is thought , however , the bill will bo re
ferred tomorrow to the appropriations com-
mltteee , where there Is a possibility of Us
being pigeonholed unless sentiment becomes
too strong.

reports from different parts of Auatollo , and
It appMrs lo bo recognized on all sides here
that , In view of the state of affairs prevail
ing In certain parts of Asiatic Turkey , the

It Is believed that ns effective measures for
th ? alleviation of prevailing distress or calcu
lated to quell the growing discontent ot the
TurklPh subjects of the sultan will be taken
until the powers Intervene ) actively In the
administration of the empire.
As day after day passes and there Is no

the feeling ot anxiety as to the fate of the
Armenians v. ho ar holding that town against
the Turks Increases , nnd the darkest fore
bodings are heard on all sides among the
Armenian ? . It now seems to be generally
admitted that the Turks have surrounded
Zcitoun , and nobody here would be astonished
nt the news of n torrlhlo ma" acre ot the
Armenians ot that city and vicinity. The
strongest representation possible have boon
made to the porto on this subject , and the
usual assurances mat thn Insurgents will be
treated with humanity have bean given , but
for all that the worst Is fearoJ for the unfor
tunate rebels of Zeltoun , whether they sur
render or fight It out to til ? last.
Alarming rumors as to the attitude ot the
populace here are still In circulation , and the
ambassadors have , It Is understood , laid plans
tor concerted action upon the part of the
guardshlps and their crews In the event of
fresh disturbances here , and It Is rcporttd
that any serious rioting may lead to the
presence here of further reinforcements of
guardshlps. for the representatives of tha
powers will not leave anything to chanceor
oiprlcn in the matter of protecting the lives
nnd property of the foreigners In this city
and vicinity.
