( Copyright , 185C , l > y Press Publishing Company. ) LONDON , Feb. 1. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Lord Salis bury practically confessed last night that Armenians have now llttlo or no hope from England , lie went further than that Indeed In giving quasl-absolutlon to the sultan for the atrocities on the ground that his power could not effectively reach the mountain passes of Armenia. The premier has been long noted for his extraordinary Inconsistency In proclaiming on Monday what ho denies on the succeeding Saturday. It was only lost November , In his famous speech at the Guild hall , that he said : "While _ I readily admit that It Is qulto possible for the sultan , If ho will , to g'ovcrn all his subjects with justice and In peace , be Is not exempt more than any other potentate from the law that Injustice will bring the highest on earth to ruin. " Apparently , however , the necopslty of preserving the concert of Europe and Eng land's fear ot that disruption will still protect the sublime porte' In Its Indifference to or actual eharo In the frightful massacres of Its Christian subjects. In face of this apparent Imparse which confronts European Intervention there Is expressed In press nnd among Armenian sympathizers here the warmest Interest In thn official action of our congress and possi ble action of President Cleveland. "Why , " asks the London Chronicle , "If European concert Is for one reason or another powcr- Ics3 to act , why should pot the leading powers formally Invlto the United States to make each a demonslratlon before Constantinople as will compel the sultan to call a halt ? Such an action would not be altogether newer or unprecedented , for when the republic was but young and small compared with today , Jefferson sent an American fleet to put a stop to the robberies and Insolence of the dcy of Algiers. That fleet did Its business so effectively that the Algerian piracy was at once humbled , and what wap Algerian cruelty compared with the sanguin ary license which has desolated and Is desolating the valleys of Armenia ? " WOULD EDIFY THE WORLD. The Chronicle points' out that there could bo no possible European Jealousy of the United States' , while her missionaries occupy practically the entire Hold ot religious effort In Turkey. Probably the mere sight of an American naval squadron before Constanti nople would bring about effectual icforms by the tyrant Ylldlz kiosk. If necessary n Brlllrh fleet might stand by to aid. "That would bo n spectacle worth living to see , the two great naval powers of the world , not engaged In despoiling QUO another , but In enforcing the dictates of righteousness on a barbarlJn who haa outraged every law of right. " Secretary Chamberlain rather approved the right of intervention by the United States , but his chief Ignores the question. Siding Buxton , M. P. , under secret-ary for the colonies In the Ilcfcbcry government , and ono of the leading authorities on foreign affairs In Parliament , said to the World rep resentative today : "Ono must speak with reserve , ns It la difficult to know what our foreign office Is doing , and for my part I consider that It keeps things too dark when Parliament Is not sitting , nut It Is evident that the diffi culty of the government'ln regard to Armenia ' has been 'to Induce Germany , Franco nnd RiiKuln to enter upon on active policy which \f \ : would reopen the whole eastern question. Much as wo should like to take energetic < measures In conjunction with America , H Is hard to KCQ how such measures .could bo effectually taken , though I can arauro you what I may call the humanitarian aspect of this Armenian question appeals to us as to our ; American friends very strongly. " in ino ( [ uusuuu wiiL-uirr a joint navui demonstration would bring the sultan to his knees , Mr. Buxtoii said : "Well , I think Lord Salisbury mado. a very sensible remark last night that It would bo a comparatively oiry matter to deal with the sultan , It he eent out his fleet lo meet us , but lie won't do that. Indeed far my part , I think that the sultan would probably ha very glad If he could stop tlies ? atrocities * . Putting It on the very lowest ground , ho has nothing to gain and everything to lose by them , Whether this story of a Rusao-Turklsh treaty Is true , there Is no means of know ing , but It U tbo opinion ot most of the lending politicians here that If such an agreement could bo brought about with the assent of the powers , and with due guarantee ! for the Independence of Turkey , It would on the whole bo not a disadvantageous solu tion of ( ho problem , Armenians being Chrli- tlans , Huxplans would bo bound to protect them from Mohammedan oppression , and llimU las the power to do so , wherc-u It Is doubtful It oven joint Anglo-American In- torvcnllon , If feasible , could effect that t'bjoct. " WOULD NOT IIB WELL ARMED. In the present circumstances of England's overturus to Franco or Russia for nn alli ance the opposition of cither power to Amer ican Intervention In .Turkey would also , In all probability , make ( bat Intervention Im possible , at least with the consent of the eignatorles to the Dcrlln treaty. The World's Parts correspondent saw ex- Premier Hlbot , who disclaimed any right to now cpenk with author ity , but Bald ; "Tbo United Stater ponaio has been so extremely , well , let me say active , of laU tbat It Is hard to ( estimate the practical value ot Its * resolu tion * , Dliturhincci In Armenia peon rcm to be quieting down , and the probability ol foreign Intervention In the affairs of Turkey ID becoming remotu. Aa to the rumo.'id in- tenllttn ot the United States to Interfere ID eastern Europe , It uceins to me extraordinary to lay the least ( hit a nation , what * foreign pollcy Is claimed to be based upon the Mon roe doctrine , should think of running tl.o risk of these European entanglements whlc ! President Monroe wished to avoid. Neither does It seem consistent that the ccnatc , fitter applauding President Cleveland's recent moreige , should vote a resolution bearing upon an essentially European questioner should call upon the signatories to the Dcr lln treaty to fulfill their engagement * . The Ilerlln treaty concerns only those pewits who were parties thcrc'o. I do nc-t tblnk the United States was among the number It would perhaps not be nmlss UIraw the attention of the United States senate to a passage In Mr. Olney's dispatch to Lore Salisbury , In which the former dcprciatcs American Interference In European affairs With regard to the present resolution , the way In which It will be received , If It Is even { 'presented , \\lll probably depo.nl upon Its form and tone. Mcra than this I cannel say for the present. " M. Hanatoux , minister for foreign affairs In the Rlbot cabinet , said : "If I wore to question you your replies would not bo tele graphed all over the world. I am In a dif ferent position. I am fully aware of the Importance aud Influence ot the World , bui the role of a minister no longer In power la to hold his peace. _ " At the French ministry of foreign affairs the World correspondent was received by M. Arago , the chief secretary to M. Dertho- lot. "Up to this time. " said M. Aragt > , "we have received no official notification * of the senate's Armenian resolution and before ex pressing a definite opinion with regard to It , womust wait and pee In what form II will be presented. Much , very much , will depend upon the form It takes. As the Monroe doctrlno has never been recognizer by the European plates , that sldo of the question may at present be Ignored. All that can bo said at the moment Is that any communication made by President Cleveland will receive M. Bertholot's Immediate at tention and will be treated In such a manner as may seem advisable. " Miss Clara Darton left London for Con stantlnoplo this morning , having first called at the United States embassy hero and re ceived from Mr. Bayard some additions credentials to the sultan , . She expressed herself as entirely sanguine of success. MORLEY SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE. John Morlcy's reference to the Venezuelan dispute was the most outspoken and unquali fied advocacy of arbitration yet made by onj really first rate public man In England. It clearly shows what will bo the policy of the liberal opposition In Parliament , pledging the parly to press the arbitration solution on the Salisbury administration. The opinion among experienced politicians here Is that Lord Salisbury , whatever may be his per sonal Inclination , cannot resist the pressure of oven so relatively small a minority as the present opposition when that pressure Is exercised on the sldo of peace and undoubt edly is In consonance with the preponderat ing body of public opinion throughout the country. "I had a conversation yesterday with one of the three leaders ot the liberal party In Parliament , who , referring to Mr. Morley's speech , , , said : 'His reference to the Ven ezuelan question was directly Inspired by Mr. Gladstone. ' "Mr. Gladstone , " one ef them declared , "expressed himself privately In Intensely strong terms In favor of arbitration. lie considers that the liberal leaders have been too ready to glvo Lord Salisbury a free hand In this , as In the Armenian question. " The veteran statesman was described by my Informant aa a-chaflng at the Inertia of hlf successors In the management of the party. In his opinion It should have been made clear beyond question that this dispute ls > ono to bo Bellied by arbitration , a party attitude which would have commended itsalf to tl.o cntlro country. " BETWEEN GREEK AND ROMAN. "Whether nr not Pr'inco Ferdinand of Bul garia will permit his Infant son , Borla , to be biptlzcd Into the Russian church Is exciting the Interest ot all Europe. If ho decides not to authorise such baptism now or to wait until the boy reaches maturity , the proba bility seems strong that he will bo forced to abdicate and the choiceof his successor will again reopen the whole Balkan question. The prlnco married Princess Louise of Parma , nnd In accordance with the rule of the Roman Catholic church he promised be fore marrlugo that their children should bo baptized and educated In the faith of their mother. The pope refuses to absolve him .from this promise , while his ministry and apparently the whole Bulgarian people In sist that the only hope of obtaining Russian recognition and friendship Is In yielding to the czar's alleged first condition that the heir to the principality shall bo received Into Orthodox Greek ( Russian church ) . The prlnco having lost the strong support of Stambuloff , whom he ungratefully gave over ta assassination , Is apparently without sup port or wlso counsel in his own realm or sympathy anywhere In Europe. SHUTS OUT FEMALE VOCALISTS. Another ecclesiastical manuaio wiusn doubtless will bo of more Interest In New York than any controversy over a European theme Is the present enforcement In Paris of a long-standing , but Ignored , order of the Roman congregation of Hies , as well as of Cardinal Richelieu , forbidding the employ- mcnt of woman vocalists In sacred edifices. The cardinal now eayn the- order mnst be rigorously observed , and explains that the Immediate cause ot Its strict -enforcement Is that many scandals arose out ot the appear ance In Paris churches of famous prlma donne. On ono recent occasion , for Instance , when Sybil Sanderson sang In the Church of Notre Dame do Lorettc , the edifice was tem porarily turned Into a pandemonium , Long before the service began the church was crowded , people were trampling on each ether In their anxiety to find room , men swore and women raged because they could not get enough standing accommodation , and during the most kolcmn part of the service angry voices were heard In dispute. In another church , wlicro on operatic artiste once went to ting , she was boldly applauded , and many shouts of "bis'1 ( again ) were raised. Complaints were made also that fashion able ladles who gave their vocal services for nothing were In the habit of gossiping too loudly. Women choristers , paid to sing , fre quently disturbed the worshipers and scan dalized pious people generally by their con duct In houses of Eolemnlty and prayer. From this time forward , accordingly , only the voices of men and boys ore to be heard In the metropolitan churches , - ACCIDENT TO AN OBERAMERGAUN.

( Copyright , 1S98 , by the Associated Press. ) LOiNDON , Feb. 1. In rplto ot the social and political gloom there has been a revlva of political activity , duo to the approach of the reassembling of Parliament. Severa' speeches on politics were delivered during the week , notably that of the marquis ol Salisbury at the meeting of non-conformist unionists at the Hotel Metropole on Friday cabled at length , with press comments to the Associated press , the same" evening. On thu whole , the nmrqula Is said to have disap pointed Ms warmest admirers , especially In his exposure of the weakness cf Great Drltnln In the east and In Ills explanations ol her reasons for non-Interference In behalf of the Armenians. His repeated acceptance of the Monroe doctrlno , however , shows that the common sensj policy advocated by Mr. Gladstone In the treatment of the Venezuelan question Is finding root In high quarters. This Is a most timely showing , for public sentiment is becoming strongly opposed to the premier's attitude toward America , north as well as south. IU. Hon. George Goschen , first lord of the admiralty , will , II Is announced , move the address In the House of Commons , In reply to the queen's speech at the opening of Parliament , and Sir John Maxwell will second the motion. The stand taken by the government In regard to the 'Venezuelan and Armenian questions will bo challenged by the liberals. Mr. Justin McCarthy has summoned a meetIng - Ing of the Irish parliamentary party for next Saturday and It Is understood th a upon that occasion the reform organization move ment will bo considered. Mr. McCarthy , It Is said , will be re-iclectcd chairman. PROGRAM OF THE SESSION. The St. James Gazette this afternoon an nounced It had learned the government has settled , EO far as possible , the program of the session. The proposals of the govern ment , the Gazette says , will bo In four groups or subjects , national defenrs and Increase of the navy measures for the relief of husbandry , Irish legislation , and the ques tion of the support of voluntary schools. Dsforo any progress Is made with these measures , however , there will be a dls- eurslon of the foreign and colonial policy of the government , especially regarding the Transvaal , Venezuela and Armenia , and the latter subject promises to provide much In teresting reading. In view ot the admissions of Great Britain's weakness which the marquis of Salisbury made last evening anil which , It Is claimed , show that there has been a complete failure of British diplomacy. The St. James Gazette ( and for that matter , all the other newspapers ) , dwells upon the gravity of the statements made by the premier and admits that British Intervention In Turkey has resulted In a fiasco. The St. James Gazette says : "Armenia was the marqulu of Salisbury's first failure and It is a serious one. The failure Is clilelly Lord Rosobery'o and Lord Klmberloy's , but the marquis of Salisbury Is also responsible. If ho had retired from an Impossible position five months ago the massacres would have bsen avoided and yesterday's humiliating con fession of failure and Impotency would not have been needed. " The Westminster Gazette remarks : "Ac cording to the marquis of Salisbury's speech the Berlin treaty meant nothing and no en gagement existed. If EO , had wo not better confess the farcical futility of the whole per formance and make room for Russia or any other power who can Influence the sultan ? " REPUDIATE THE BIOGRAPHY. Purccll'a lifo of Cardinal Manning , In which lie makes statements regarding the cardinal's political and religious Intrigues which are damaging to the < prelate's reputation , has cre ated such a vast amount of offensein Catholic quarters that Cardinal Manning's executors have ItsueJ a disclaimer cf all cnnct'on wither or responsibility for the work , adding"We : do not In the least recognize the cardinal in thJ so-called biography. " Nevertheless , the executors have been compelled to admit the work Is founded upon Cardinal Manning's private papers , which they allowed Purcell to us ? , though they afterward revoked the authority and tried to prevent the publication of the work.

IMS , by the AfoclntMl , Press. ) HAVANA , Feb. 1. Considerable , anxiety Is felt hero regarding the result bf the mili tary operations now being conducted against Maximo Gomez anil. Antonio Macco under the personal direction of General Marln , the acting1 captain general of Cuba , H Is be lieved that Marln has been aiming to strike a death blow before the arrival of General Weyler , the successor of Martinez de Cam pos , as , captain general of Cuba , and It Is understood ho has taken steps to accomplish this end. But ambition Is not the. only spur to General Marln's activity. It Is admitted , oven In Cuban circles , that , the Insurrection has reached a precarious stage from several cauccs , notably , lack of ammunition and arms and the want of fresh horses and supplies. The steps taken by the Spanish in gathering In all the horses and cattfo pos'slblo have had the effect of weakening the Insurgents con siderably. Their horses , as n rule , are al most worn out and , being- kept almost con tinually on the march for months past , they arc not allowed to recuperate. The Spaniards reem to be olmtlnr to keep the Insurgents constantly movha , ? from place to place , night and day and to gradually wear them out. There Is llttlo doubt that the Insurgents are feeling thi effect ? of tint4 , for their trails are markeJ by numbers of lame horses and their number. Is Increasing a * tlmo wears on. Hitherto' t' ' ' prc.it draw back tinder which 'the ' Span nrcls "lave labored Iws been the lack of cavalry ; to pilrsuo the quick moving mounted Infantry of the Insur gents. This defect Is bcl gradually oxer- come. There Is no denying tint tiio Spanish com manders have , up to the present , succeeded In keeping the Insurgent armies apart. With this object In view , a nf.v irilltnry line has just been drawn , no.-th and soutii from Marlet , In the northern coast of Plnar del Rio , through Guanejay and Artemisia to the southern coast , near Mangas , and upon the maintenance of the new line a great deal Is said to depend. A dlspatcli from the fropt'says Brigadier General Canello. who Is coiiiinnd of the mil itary line drawn across Pinac ; del Rio. was engaged yesterday with a portion of the force commanded by Gomez. ThcSfle.hU took place between Mlroz and San Augustine and Is n- portsd to have resulted In a repulse of the In surgents. While Canello maintains the .military line , General Marln , It Is reportedi will push on westward In an attempt to engage Maceo. Gomez , when last heard from1was In the neighborhood of Paso Uedondo , . a little north of Batabano , which would seem to Eubstantl- ato'.tho official statement to Uae effect that he has been driven eastward from the frontier In Plnar del Rio , owing to the/jpursult of the Spaniards. The health of Gomez continues to glvJ anxi ety to his friends Confirmation was received of the report that Gomez tiad/Jthe-consump tion and was not expected to llve over two months. A report was current In Cuban circles here yesterday that there is considerable dls- st.tisfactlon In Gomez's camp , owing to some of the actions ot the Cuban junta in Ne'v York , and It Is said that body Is strongly blamed for the Insurgents' failure to receive much needed arms and ammunition and rumor also has It that tliere arc .disagree ments between the insurgent armies In the field. Such rumors , however , are known to have been circulated by the Spanish au thorities in tho' past and..lt may be the re ported discord between the Cuban generals Is not an actual fact. Reinforcements of cavalry are being hur ried on to General Marln from every avail able point. His exact whereabouts , however. Is not known , contradictory reports in this connection having been purposely circulated to deceive the friends of the'lnsurgents , who keep the latter posted , so far as possible , upon the movements of the Spanish troops. The exodus of the better class of people from Cuba continues and-the prices ot pro visions continue to go up. In fact , matters have almost reached the point \\5ien the poorer classes will have to depend almost en tirely upon th ? authorities for/rellef. Luxurles are worth their weight In' gold , business U nearly a thing of the past ; And trad a with the Interior may be said to have ceased , ex cepting that part of It which Is carried on by vessels.

( Copyright , JS9G , by the Associated Press. ) BERLIN , Feb. 1. A high official of the Colonial scclety Informs the Associated press correspondent that Emperor William Is firmly determined to carry out the 'project oi doubling the size of the German navy. The official had repeated conversations with Emperor William during the past three weeks , and he asserts that during the com ing summer the plan for the reorganization of the navy will be drawn up. The present J > rcgr2m for slowly enlarging the navy must remain In force fcr'tho next three years. Uut In the meanwhile the new plan will be adopted , the preliminary steps will be taken and the means to execute It will be secured , Ills majesty Is convinced this is absolutely necessary In order to secure to Germany permanently her position as a great power , aud especially .as a rising colonial power. Hence all the emperor's energy will be bent to that end. Something , however , must bo done Im mediately , and If the pretcnt Reichstag re fuses to grant large sums for the building and equipment ot a fleet of fast crullers the nations will bo appealed to and an attempt will be made to raise money for this pur pose by papular subscription. Already a score of German nobles , especially mer chants , have declared their readiness to sub scribe 3,000,000 marks to form the nucleus of the fund. Among them are Duke John Albrecht of Mecklenburg , the duke of Saxe- Mclningen , Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia , Barons Blelcliroder , Stumm and Krupp , and a number of. Hamburg and Bremen exporters. It Is further stated that Prince Bismarck has expressed to the em peror his belief In the necessity of creating a strong German navy. CHANCELLOR IS OPPOSED. The fact that Prince Hohenlohe , the Im perial chancellor , and some of Jlio other members of the cabinet do not acquiesce In these views has , - it Is-asserted c'austd ibis majesty to seriously consider the advisa bility of making changes In the ministry. The emperor's Intention , however , Is not ; to hasten this change , but to await a favorable opportunity. Prince Hohenlohc's successor , it Is thought In the Inner court circles , will bo Count Philip von Eulcnberg , the German ambassador at Vienna , who , with his brother , Is a great favorite of his majesty. It Is significant that the Hamburger Nacrlchten , Prince Bismarck's organ , In an article pub lished on the cmperor'o birthday , de nounced the cabinet and charged it .vlth obstructing his majesty's plans. Admiral von Holnian , naval secretary of state , who la known to differ from the emperor upon the plan of navy reorganization , has already handed In his resignation. The fact that both Russia and Franco tcok pa'.ns to show tholr friendliness toward Germany upon the occasion of Emperor William's birthday Is generally commented upon. For the first time in twenty-five years the French embassy on the Parlser Platz was splendidly Illuminated , and the Russian ambassador , In presenting Emperor William with the czar's congratulations and handing his majesty a beautiful present , conveyed the czar's high gratification that the entente cordlalo between Russia and Germany had been renewed during the Important crisis of last vear. The Reichstag , on March 2 , Is to celebrate the signing of the preliminary peace of 1871 by a grand demonstration , to which Prince Bismarck and ether surviving statesmen and generals of war times have besn Invited. SOMETHING GOOD AMERICAN. In the Reichstag yesterday attention was called to the fact that bacteria lias been dis covered In Imported rye. Herr Koehler , director of the imperial board of health , ex plained that an examination had been made of German , American , Russian , Austrian , Roumanian and Tuiklsh samples of rye , with ( he result that It was den onstratcd that the American cereal had the least Impurities. Ho added that experiments proved bacteria could not resist baking and boiling , and that these found In grain are Innocuous , In the lower house of the Prussian Diet today the minister of husbandry , Baron Hammcrsten-Loxstcln ! , declared that gov ernment measures regarding the Import of cattle and meat were exclusively Intended to prevent the danger of Infection. Ho further explained that the shortness of the period In which arrivals of cattle from northern countries were kept In quarantine was duo to the fact that diseases were least prevalent there , Mr , Dean D. Mason , vice consul for the Un'ted ' States at Vienna , has been trans ferred to Frankfort-on-the-maln. The news received here from Now York that the German war vessels Starch ! and Suabla have been ordered to Venezuela Is denied at the foreign office , But an official of that dtp-irtment of the government , said to a representative of the Associated press ; "Assuredly , however , Count von Rex ( the Gorman minister to Venezuela ) has re ceived Instructions enabling him to bring the Venezuelan government to terms. President Crcspo cannot Invoke the old of the Monroe doctrine In this matter' The doctrlno may serve In frontier quarrels , but It docs not ex tend far enough to shield a wilfully re- calc'trant debtor against the just claims of an European nation. Germany certainly Intends , after waiting more than a resonablo time , to collect the debt due to her citizens , and a nival demonstration may finally have to be made In Venezuelan waters , But just now nothing has been ordered , " The relation between Emperor William and Prince Lultpold , the regent of Bavaria , iavo Improved lately , and on the Imperial birthday the regent gave a uplendld banquet and enthusiastically toasted the emperor.

( Copyright , 1S36 , by the Associated Press. ) LONDON , Feb. 1. Only the Pall Mall Ga zette and the Glebe comment upon the findIng - Ing of the New York Yacht club committee against Lord Dunravon In the charges which the latter brought against Defender's handlers. The Glebe heads a somewhat sar castic article "Lord Dunraven Justified , " and says : "Tho committee would have dene better to have flatly refused to prcsecuto an Inquiry which Its action made of no value. " In regard ( o the evidence the Globe says : "H I'j a llttlo unfortunate that so much cutting up and transferring of lead on Defender and Battle Palmer should bo going on at the time Lord Dynravcn thought ho noticed a difference In the load water line and the necessity which compelled Hcrreschoff to withdraw his valuable assistance from the committee of Inquiry after being Informed that ho would be crosp-cxamlncd on the fol lowing Monday Is deeply regretted. The real blamo-for _ the whole business falls upon the a uldc s''of the orlginaUcsmmUtM ; _ which. appears about ao unbuslnesollko a body as one could meet. Unless It shows It self capable of bringing some small modi cum of common sense ( o bear upon the ar rangements ot an international contest we carneytly trust no English yachtsman will challenge. " The Glebe cntinues : "We are unable to ? co that Lord Dunravcn's position as a sportsman Is Injured. " The Pall Mall Gazette says : "We hope the Incident will close international contests between England and America. Lately tliere has been EO much 111 feeling that It would bo almort a matter of regret that they should continue. Wo are told that Yale In tends to row at Henley. Let every ono concerned - corned do his best to prevent any unfriendly feeling resulting from the coming vlflt. and possibly then , in time , another challenge may be Issued for the America's cup. " The St. James Gazette , however , has an excellent article headed "A Case for Apol ogy , " and says : "The report makes clear : Firstly , that a very serious accusation was brought by Lord Dunraven on the flimsiest possible evidence. Secondly , that the New York Yacht club hon given his lordship a ssvero lesson In fairness and In god man ners. Lord Dunraven , In support of his charge , produced only Impressions and guess work. If an accusation of unfair running were Investigated by a jockey club and found to have no better origin wo doubt If the club would confine Itself to the use of the mild word 'mistake.1 " The St. James Gazette concludes : "Lord Dunraven owes It to himself as a gentleman to apologize to these ho accused without justification.

The long contest over the silver bond bill Is at an end In the senate , that body having * pasrcd tho- free silver coinage substitute of the house bond bill by the decisive vote of 42 to 35 , a majority of rcven for frea silver. Thl result was reached at 3 o'clock today , after hours of caustic debate and pharp parlia mentary fencing. The public Interest In th culmination of the protracted struggle was. rhown by crowded galleries and a full attendance - - tendance on the floor , suventy-sevcn senators , being present , and the others paired. Daren von Thlelmann , the German ambassador , oc cupied a front seat In the diplomatic gallery showing keen Interest In the final vote. . Members of the house crowded the chamber , filling available scats and standing room In the rear and side areas. It had been ex pected that a final vote would be taken at 2 o'clock , but a conflict of opinion arose a * to the agreement , rcsjjltlng In consldcrablo bitterness and personal feeling. Many amcndmcnto were pending when 2 o'clock arrived and thcss were summarily cut. oft if by a strict construction of the agreement , * < a although the differences over tbe agreement Itself held off the vole an hour beyond the tlmo set. The reinilt was such a foregone con clusion that little excitement or surprise ! I was occasioned by the announcement of tho- passage of the substitute. The early hours of the session , beginning- at 11 o'clock , were given to the closing- speeches. Including that of Mr. Morrlll , the , octogenarian of congress , who lo still vigorous In speech and thought. The other speeches were under the five minute rule , bolng brief and snappy. Mr. Lindsay took occasion to say that In his Judgment the president had , fulfilled the full measure of his duty In flpanclal affairs and should do no more. It calamity came as a result ot c.on.- gresalonal Inaction the president chould leavo- thaiirfcWMiblUtrowJ ro.lt belpngedj m Lthe- shoulders of congress. DUTY OF CONGRESS. Another Interesting Incident occurred when. Mr. Gorman was urging that the legisla tion , was fruitless OB It could , not receive. executive approval. Mr. Morgan called at tention to the fact that the duty of con- grcsa was to act without e'wcntlvo Influence or approval , to which Mr. Gorman , with much earneotncss , replied : "I fully agree to that proposition and only regret that there lisa * not been a closer adherence to It In the past. The senator from Alabama cannot go farther than I to resist encroachments ot the oxecuelvo In giving any suggestions- beyond those he Is bound to make by the constitution and give due weight to what ever recommendations ho makes , without fear of political power and patronage from. 3 | the president. " fl MORRILL BEGAN DISCUSSION. The senate opened at 11 o'clock today with a speech by the venerable , senator from Vermont , Mr. Morrlll , who sold the house had promptly responded - sponded to the president's message and had supplemented It with an emergency tariff revenue bill , The free silver substitute for the bond bill , ho added , "may not be the first tlmo when bread bos been asked for thata. . stone has been presented , but It Is the first tlmo that a committee of the senate seems to have perpetrated a practical joke , almost good enough for the clown of Darnum's. menagerie. " The senator thought that a deficiency In the national Income should bo not less swiftly remedied than excess , say ing : "The present administration , however , exhibits a bashful diffidence about acknowl edging any deficiency of revenue derived from a tariff bereaved ot Its parents In early ; infancy , but with their hands behind them they may quietly take whatever money con gress may place In tliolr hands for the treas ury , where the outflow of gold lias , been EO , jl swift aa to make even the heads of the > | kceners dizzy.- 11 Referring to the assertion that Franco maintains silver at par with gold , bo said : "Uecauso there la no blusteilng silver party and no silver-plated democutic party there striving to pull down their money standard to that of depreciated silver they keep sil ver to the amount of $380,000,000 with $772- 000,000 of gold on the ratio of 15'/j ' to 1 , The United States has been the friend and patron of sliver to Its own hurt. If our late In vestment of nearly | 500,000,000 In silver has been notoriously improvident and unprofita ble , the disastrous results will appear as a drop In the bucket when compaied with what must flow from the present proposal to open all our mints to the free coinage of silver of all the world. " NOT AFRAID OP TIIRBATS. Mr. Morrlll paid hla respects as follows to the threats to form a new silver party : "Some whispered threats have floated In the air that the extreme silver men , now tra- tcrnlglng hero and at home with the repub lican party , would band themselves together on , one dominant Idea and with auxiliary democratic aid would hitch on the toll of a great repub lican measure at the first opportulty EQUIP tinkling tllvcr amendment , hoping thereby to secure a silver triumph of a hybrid comblna- t'on , although the grand old republican party might perish , Uut ( here | s llttlo fear ol these eruptive threat * , lor , If carried out , the riot act might be read at home to tlio ofTcndtTi , upon whom public opinion would not fall to place Iti brend , and whatever party mlg'til survive , not all of the garroter * of the. icpubllcan party would bo among Its member * .
