Iho people had confident * In thai party.
"The election , " said Mr. Morrlll , "of r pub-
llcan Rorornon In such ( talcs a * New Jer
sey , Maryland and Kentucky Indicate ! that
the old whig atatM of ttio south arc wheel
ing Into line with their former brethren
on quottlons which concern tlielr Industrial
pioiperlty. The republican party , at Its car-
Nest opportunity , will seek the co-opcratlun
of leading nations In th6 coinage of silver
nnd will meantime aim to maintain the Integ
rity of business affairs and the honor of the
country by the maintenance of every dollar
of money In the hands of people , without
depreciation at Its full value. "
Mr. Teller replied briefly to certain refer
ences Mr. Morrlll had made as to the cheap
ness of silver when coming from the mines.
Ho said the same could be said of gold. The
very remarkable mines nt Cripple Crrck were
turning out gold at 25 centi on ounce. Mr.
TfrliOr referred sarcastically to the frequent
characterization of "silver barons" and asked
wl.al had become of the "gold barona. "
From this time forward the opecchos were
brief , under the agreement that the flvo-
mlrute rule of debate should prevail. Under
this rule nl o the various , amendments wore
tckcn up for debate. The first amendment ,
that of Mr. Butler of North Carolina , pro
hibited the Issue of bonds without authority
of congress and also provided for a method of
redeeming greenbacks In gold or silver , ac
cording to the fluctuations of the ratio. Mr.
Daniel ( democrat , Va. ) , and Mr. Oray ( dem
ocrat , Del. ) , spoke against the Duller amend
ment , urging tbat It would tend to disturb
the parity of the metals.
punrosn OP THE DIM *
Mr. Jones of Arkansas pointed out that
the main purpose of thlo measure , was to se
cure the free colnago of silver. The com
mittee did not wish to complicate ) this main
Itsuo with collateral Issues. He appealed
to the friends of the measure to pasi the
free colnago amendment by not scattering
their energy on similar amendments. Mr.
Tollsr added his appeal In the same line.
"I am wrry the friends of free colnago
are weakening , " said Mr. Allen as he pro
ceeded to support the Duller amendment ,
pointing out that It wai .a desirable and o's-
scintlal feature of the main proposition for
colnazo.
"It was useless to have free coinage , " In
terjected Mr. Duller , "unless Iho secretary
of the treasdry was directed to carry out
Its spirit by paying obligations In silver. "
Mr. Harrlf , Mr. . Ineon ! and Mr. Cockroll
all spoke against complicating the main
question of free coinage with the Dutlor
amendment , the laat named saying : "No
greater obstacle has bc9n encountered by
stiver than this continual disposition to try
to cet too much. "
Mr. Peffer supported the Duller amend
ment , ho being the fourth of the populls
senators Dutlor , Allen , Stewart and PefTer
who had resisted the appeal of the main
Oliver element for the adoption of free coinage -
ago without complicating Issues.
The amendment was defeated ; yeas , 13
nays , 40. Those voting In nfnnnntlve were
Alien , Drown , Duller , Cameron , Cannon
George , Hill , Kyle , Peffer , Prltchard , Roach
Slowart and Tlllman.
Mr. Stewart , populist of Nevada , rldlcnlc <
the discussion going on. It was all dress
paradeho said. Every ono know the pending
measure * would receive no attention after
leaving the senate. As It was merely a ques
tion of recording opinion , the vote should
be taken on all collateral questions.
Tlio amendment of Mr. Allen , forbidding
the Issue of Interest-bearing bauds , was next
taken up. This brought n renewal of the
dUcustiton over complicating the main Issue.
Mr. White referred to the vote of Mr. Hill
just given , which , ho said , was evidently
done to "load down" the measure.
Mr. Mills stated that whllo he did not np-
provo the pending rtlvor substitute as re
ported from the. committee , still he would
vote for It , merely to destroy the obnoxious
bond bill as It came from the house.
There was an amusing tilt between Mr.
Stewart and several senators white Mr.
Lindsay wai speaking. He had declared
that free colnago was always pressed when
It could not pas ? and never seriously pressed
when It could pass.
VETO AWAITED IT.
Mr. Stewart Interrupted to say that the
question was not pressed In 1S90 , for , said
he. It was useless to piss It when the presi
dent would have vetoed It. (
"Who said ho would have vetoed It ? " ex
claimed Mr. Lindsay.
"Ho raid so himself , " answered Mr. Stow
art.
art."To
"To whom ? " asked Mr. Oray.
Mr. Stewart did not Immediately answer ,
bat Mr. Voorhees rtfncwod the controversy
by asking Mr. Stewart what authority ho
had for saylug that Mr. Harrison , who was
president In 1800 , would have vetoed a free
colnazo amendment.
" "He did not tell mo , " answered Mr. Stew
art. "I was not In communication with
him. "
Mr. Teller then added that ho had personal
knowledge of Harrison's proposition to veto
free coinage.
When Mr. Allen had made a final plea
for hla amendment , saying ho wanted to put
the protestations of the silver men to the
test , the vote was taken and Iho Allen
amendment was defeated 2t to 54 , as fol

, Mr. Mnrrlll offered an amendment pro-
Tiding that tbo seigniorage of sliver be re
tained by the United Stales to the extent of
the difference between the colnago value
and the commercial value of the bullion.
At four minutes lo 2 Mr. Gorman began
speaking. He spoke of the frultlessnero of
the efforts to secure the final enactment of
a free coinage lair. It was reported by a
finance committee hostile to the administra
tion. It was well known that It would he
Impossible for such a measure to become
it law prior to March 4 , 1697.
"Why ? " Interjected Mr. Morgan.
"Because , " replied Mr. Gorman , "tho dec
larations of the president of tho- United
States convince every man that mich a pro
vision rannot receive his assent. "
Mr. Morgan asked If congrenj should not
proceed on Its course without reference to
( ha c.xecutlvo branch.
Mr. Gorman replied that he fully recog
nized the need of complete Independence
from executive Influence. He regretted that
there had not been more of this Independ
ence In > the past. Mr , Gorman closed by
moving to lay the sliver nubstllule , as re
ported by the finance committee , on the

Tlio aineiulmfiit of Mr. Mnrrlll aa to

At this point a complication arose o to
the nature of the unanimous COIIPMU agree
ment for a votft it t o'clock , Mr. Harris
contended tt.it any alneudment offrred after
S o'clock v a YldUtion of tlis agreement.
H < i entire purpote wai to get a flnul vet

1 Mr. CbandUr and Mr. Loi3 o urgfrt that
all debate was clmod at 3 o'clock , but It had
not bo n understood that all amendments
should bo shut off at 2 o'clock.
Mr , Harris ald ho would rnot ask the
presiding officer to pass up.in the question
Unanimous consent w s binding on senators
only , an they desired to recognize It.
The presiding officer addressrd the scnato
briefly. Ho said : "Unanimous content , " was
In the hands of the senators and It wan not
for him to determine. Ho wAuld recognize
amendments as offered.
Mr. Cock roll urged the senators to "abido
by Hie agrr-cincnl. " He declared lhat never
In the history of'thp ocnalo had such an
agreemonl been broken. "This will bs n
dangeious precedent , " tald Mr. Cockrcll ,
"and scnalors may find It rising up here
after to give thorn terlonu troubK\ "
1NDULOINQ IN THREATS.
Mr. Chandler raid the senators 'rom MIs-
oourl ( Cockroll ) and from Tennessee ( Har
ris ) were Indulging In threats because tho'r
Interpretation of an agreement was not nc-
rr ted ,
"Whtm have I threateiwd ? " nsked Mr ,
Harris , with characteristic sharpness. Helm
lm ; and crossing the chamber toward the
republican side. "I have made no tli rents. '
"It was the senator's threatening manner , "
said Mr. Chandler , as the Tennessee , senator
paced across the chamber.
The gallcrfcs enjoyed a laugh at 'lie ' 'pi-
sode.
sode.Mr.
Mr. Chandler read from the record that
It was expressly ' understood that amend
ments should not be cut off ,
Mr. Gorman added an appeal on this samn
line , saying there should lie liberality In
hearing amendments. "I a k unanimous con
sent , " said Mr. Gorman , "that amendments
io received , "
"And I object , " said Mr. Harris , with
explosive effect , which again amused the
sillerles.
Mr. Sherman arose with the Congressional
Ilecord In hand. He raid he had never
known of a violation of unanimous consent.
Ho felt from reading the Ilecord that the
final vote was to bo taken at 2 o'clock. Dill
Mr. Sherman asked In the caus > of har
monizing misunderstandings that a hall
hour bo allowed for amendments.
"No more extension so long as I have
charge of the subject , " said -Mr. Harris , each
word coming like a firecracker.
Mr. Dakcr said that as the senate hat'
gone Into "justice court pettifogging , " am !
was relying on technicality , ho for ono
would withdraw the amendment he had of
fered In order to allow the strict enforce
ment of this unanimous consent.
There was great confusion In the cham
ber. The presiding officer rapped repeat
edly1 and called on the scrgcant-at-arms to
enforce order.
Tlior ? was a momentary pause and then
no amendments being offered , the presiding
officer ordered a vote on the main question
the silver substitute. Ao the vote pro
ceeded It excited keen Interest , many talllei
being kept. The vice president announced
the remilt In the committee of the whole
yeas , 43 ; nays , 34. The detailed .vote was
the same except those who voted nay before
voted aye on this , motion , as on Morgan's
motion to lay on the table.
The bill was then reported from the com-
mlttco of the whole to the senate and was
passed 42 to 3fi. Mr. Mills changed from
yea to nay , and this was the only difference
.from . the detailed vote on Mr. Gorman's
early motion to lay on the table.
There was an Immediate ouiptylhg of the
galleries "as when the curtain falls at the
last net. "
A brief executive session was held and
at C:15 : the senate adjourned until Tuesday.

of a Six Wceli.V
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. After scvcra
hours' contest In executive session th
senate confirmed the nomination of Genera
J. J. Copplnger , a colonel In the army , t
bj brigadier general , by the decisive vote o
41 to 17. The nomination was sent to th
senate very soon after the convening of con
gress , but had scarcely been made publl
when protests against confirmation began I
pour In from the American Protective nsso
elation societies In all parts of the country
After a delay of about six weeks the sen
ate committee on military alfalrs made at
unanimously favorable rtport to the senate
The opposition to the confirmation was let
today by Senators Durrows , Qear , Teller
Pcttlgrew , Squire and Wilson , all of whom
made speeches during the course of the dnj- '
scsslcm. Senators Hawley , Date and Palmer
all members of the committee , chatnpionei
the general's cause. . , detailing the results o
the Investigation of the committee , which
they said were entirely favorable to Genera
Copplnger.
The opponents of confirmation basct
their course of action almost entirely upon
the fact that Copplnger has been promotcc
over the heads of thirteen colonels , wh
were his seniors In rank , which was dwol
upon as an unjust proceeding.Vhcn they
'
were met with the statement that'Copplngc
was selected became of his superior military
record thoy.asserted that there were other
of equally meritorious records. They also
mode the point that In case of war the proba
bllltles were altogether favorable to young
men coming -to the front. The opposition
did not fall to point out that Mr. Copplnge
had served In the American army for almos
thirty years before ho took out naturalization
papers and une senator at least said h
would not vote for any man who hod fought
as It was admitted Copplnger had , ugalns
Italian unity In the Garlbaldlan wars. Th
opponents were taunted with being Influence !
by the American Protective association am
with making war on General Copplnger be
cause he was a Catholic In religion , but they
resented this Imputation to a man.
Some of those whp voted for confirmation
declared that they did so In resentment o
tha Interference , of the American Protectlv
association , and declared that otherwise they
would have opposed the nomination becaua
of Its tnvldlousness. The debate was a mos
animated one from start to finish. It de
veloped that General Copplnger had come t
America at the beginning of the war at th
Instance , of Archbishop Hughes , and It wa
asserted that the nomination had been mad
largely Ttl the Instance of Mrs. Dlalne , whos
daughter was General Copplnger's wife
There were also allusions to certain persona
affairs of the general.
The vote favorable to confirmation Included
all the members of the committee on military
affairs , who were supported by the mor
conservative senators , who generally follow
committee recommendations. It was also
noted that ,811 the ex-confederate soldiers In
the senate voted for confirmation , as did al
but ono or two of the ex-union soldiers.
After the Copplnger case was disposed o
there was an effort to take up the nomlna
tlons of J. C. Keenan of Indiana to be In
dlan agent at Neah Day , Wash. , and George
H. Newman of Tennessee , to be agent a
Colvlllo' agency , Washington , who were op
posed by the northwestern senators on the
charge that the nominations are a violation
of the home rule principle. The call of the
senate at this Juncture developed the absence
of a quorum , and , the senate thpn proceeds
' ' '
with the 'c'onflrmatlon of nominations , { o
which then ? was no objection.

NEW YORK , Feb. l. The World this
morning says : This numerously signed and
earnestly worded memorial has been mailed
to President Cleveland :
To the President of the United Stntos of
America Sir : We. the bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal church In the Unltei
States of America , bes most earnestly nm
respectfully to address you , the chief
magistrate of thu nation. In rec-ard to the
massacre of our fellow Christians In Ar
menia. The extent of these mnssncres U
not fully known , but enough Is known lo
reveal the horror of Ihe situation and to
call for the Indignant protest of all civilized
and Christian people. It is ostlmnted by
those well acquainted with the facts that
not less than 350,000 of our fellow Christians
are now suffering nnd are In danger of per-
ishlnp In consequence of the massacres In
Asiatic Turkey , and that nt least 50-
000 have been already murdered. In
Trelzoncle ! nnd Erzcroum , In Iho provinces
of Ulttlls , Van and. Klmrput , and In the
wholul of the other districts , the people are
very miserable. Villages are sacked , prop
erty Is destroyed nnd men , women and
children are tortured and put to death for
holdingto the faith nnd practice of the
Christian religion. The cntlro severance of
church and state In our country should not
be allowed to stifle pur sympathies or ham
per our action In n case like this. It should
rather stimulate them. It Is a case which
especially appeals to us as men and Amer
icans.
As citizens of this republic , wo have
learned to know and dared to maintain that
no formi of religious belief should expose Its
adherents to persecution , It Is as lepre-
sentatlves nnd mnlntnlners of this essential
American principle that wo appeal for
national action In this mutter of a foreign
persecution whose detail * are too horrible
to depict or enumerate. We sincerely trust
that some measure or measures consistent
with the national traditions nnd the na
tional dignity may foe devNed , nnd that
speedily , which shall bring the whole forct >
of 'the national sentiment to bear upon the
solution of this subject ; to cause the In
stant suppression of the massacres , to suc
cor the unhappy and Impoveilshed sur
vivors of them , nnd to secure for the fu
ture ample guarantee for the safety of n
Christian people In the exercise and main
tenance of their faith.
We feel profoundly thnt our nation should
cease to recognize the Turkish govern
ment as a civilized power so long as Its
barbarous treatment of the Armenians con
tinues , and that It should bring every In
fluence to bear .upon the civilized nations
of Europe which may cause them to present
a united front In demanding thnt such
atrocities cease at once and forever ,
The memorial Is the outcomeof a recent
meeting of the church club , at which Dr.
Peters of St. Michael's church preccntod let
ters from reliable persons In Armenia , whose
disclosures were E ? Impressive that a com
mittee of three was appointed to confer with
Bishop Potter. He brought the matter to
the notice of the archdeaconry of Westches-
tor two weeks agp and Archdeacons Tiffany
and Van Kleekand Pr. Pelers were ap
pointed a committee to obtain the signatures
of all the blehops of tha church to the ap
peal addressed to the president. A similar
communication Is to ha sent to the arch
bishop of Canteibury , the czar nf Russia , the
emperor of Austria , and the emperor of Ger
many.
