SENATE TEST VOTE FOR GOLD Chandler's Amendment for Oommitiionen to Bimetallic Oonferencs LoiU RESULT OF BALLOT 25 FOR , 45 AGAINST Final Volr \nirinlmenH ( nitil the- ' 'Hill Toilny Alilrlrli Kit } * Drum- cm ( * Arc Mil Illiiirltilll-l- , WASHINGTON , Feb. 14. Throughout Its session today the senate hid the financial , Dill under1 dlsbusslor ? . Until 2 o'clock the dc'b'ato proceeded under the ten-minute rule und tbo de-bnto was spirited and Interesting. A test vote indicating approximately the majority on the passage of the bill was lakjti. Chandler , republican of No.v Hamo- ohlre , offered an amendment to authorize the p. eaident to appoint commissioners to nny International bimetallic conference , that might bo called , and It was defeateJ by n vote of 15 to 25 , Chandler's propcHltlon out of the way , the discussion proceeded on the- amendment brought | n by the finance committee provid ing that the provisions arc- not Intended to pUce nny obstacles In the way of Interna tional bimetallism. The democratic senators arraigned the ro- puhllsann for reporting the amendment , de claring they were Insincere and that the proposition was Intended to hoodwink thj people and catch votes. No vote on the amendment was reported. The final vote on the amendments and the bill will bo taken tomorrow. .Wolcolt . , speaking on Chandler's amend ment , suggested that this was the existing law , and asked Chandler to withdraw It , but Chandler declined , saying that If thr > amendment was existing law ft could do no harm to adopt It. Vo < > l of Missouri announced his purpose to vote against both the Aldrlch amendment and the Chandler 'amendment , because he regarded the proposition for an International conference as.a fraud and a pretext just as the adoption of the McICnery resolution attar the ratification of the Paris treaty , which was merely for the purpose of sup plying some .senators with a shallow ford over which to cross the titream , and had slpce been entirely Ignored. The Intention of the pending- bill was to kill silver , aud It would prove as effective In that omce a1 ? n dagger or n dose of prusslc acid would be In disposing ot animal life. U yould be absurd to send a commission abroad asking for a bimetallic conference In view ot the declaration for gold. Ajdrlch declared that. Chandler was.de ceiving no . ono with his amendment -and was sure that the proposition WBH not one that Would meet with general approbation. Stewart referred to Uhe amendment aa a subterfuge a ltd said ho would not support U. SllvcrltcN Mu-t Ifitll Aunln. t Cafferjr of Louisiana said the country , In his opinion , had been on n gold standard since 1873 , and that 'this bill was Intended merely to perpetuate. . It. "Tho battle of the BthnUardo,1' declare * ! Caffcry , "w'aa fought nnd lost by the sllvcfltes In 189G. The prob able contest this year will only bo a skir mish. The forces of the sllverltes have been routed and their efforts to uphold silver must meet with , failure.

I Issued the statement from the State ( le-iiartmont thttt Americans mtitt re main iiputuil. In. the face of this Ameri cans were constantly going to the front nnd taking tip arms lit the inteie-Hls of the nbcrs. 1 could not belli but know that many 'of these were citizens of the Lnlte d SlaU-M. 1 also knew thut , muny of thorn , In utter uespnlr at the apparent attitude of our own government , wore taking tile otth 6f al legiance to the Trnnsvnnl goveriimoin. \ \ hen alT.iIrs had reached tb.it slate , when my , vleo mnsul.

H was over four weeks after tlm opening ot the war before 1 iPuelvt-d u HlnRlo dla- pateh or a personal letter from the Kovjrn- mcnt. The mall for the Transvaal had all been stopped set Capetown by order of the high commissioner. When this mail win Ijnally forwarded to mo , after Colonel Stowe , the consul general at Capetown , hml scoured Its sple-n'e , I hud the humiliation .is the representative of the American govern ment of bitting In my olllco In Pretoria nnd looking ujion envelopes belirinx the ulllcial seal of the American government opened and olllclally sealed with a sticker , notify ing me that the contents li.nl been lend 'by ' the censor at Durban. 1 Inolicd up interna tional law , but lulled to find anywlum- that one military power can line Its discretion ns to forwarding the olllchil dispatches of .t neutral government to Its representative in a besieged country. The mail service from Dohigoa l > av to Europe was continually Interrupted by the .action ot British men-of-war at that port. The Horvlco was over two weeks loiiuer than by the west 'coast , anil there wire continual rumors that tint port would be elqbed , and communication with thp outslOo would be entirely cut off. Thecablp scrvlco for the Transvaal wa absnluti'ly out ofl' . 1 was prlvnti-ly Informed by the- Bel gian and CJermiin uiinsulH at Piotorl.i that" their olllclal cables In code to their govern ments hud boon refused. I llled one rablo lu the Interest of an American In Pretoria which was refused absolutely by the censor at Durban. This cable 1 sent.to thu llunces * of a Mr. Nelson , an American business mitn In Pretoria. She was , on her way to South Africa from Buffalo , N. Y. , when the war broke out. According to a letter which Mr. Nelson received Just before the war com menced she was buying her trousseau In Kurope. The cable requested her to come by the cast coast. When I Informed Mr. Nelson that the cable had not been sent his brother took the oath of allegiance to the republic and went to the front , iBrnoi-L'il liy Slate Drunrtmi'iit. But these are simply minordetails. . The misrepresentations which had been coins on before the war and after It opened were of such a serious nature and Avotlld require hifcli ilfrtalltiiliexplnnaUini-.tliat tnr November U I filed i\ . cable to the department In coqej' stating that I wished leave of ubsdnce.lu , order1 ttiivIKH the states. I net forth In this cablet ) that my-vice consul had enlisted In the. Boer army , that a. Mr. Atterbury , an American , whom I had known very favor ably for'more 'than a year , oould take charge-of the office until my return. In re- lily to this dispatch , which was forwarded without any delay , I received 'from the de partment a reply udvlslng me that my pres.- ; once nt Pretoria was Important to public Interests. On November S I telegraphed nculn ac- knowledalng the receipt or tho" cable and advising the department that the situation was not critical , that Sir. Atterbury was competent , that my presence. In America was. Important. No reply was received and I wired again on the llth , stating tllat no reply had been- received and again urged a' favorable reply. No reply was received to this. On November 14 1 again wired the department , stating that I could not leave without permission , tnat I would forfeit my post If the reasons which I would make to the department did not prove satlsfnc- j i ton- . I This cable was delayed by the censor until December 2 , when 1 had advices that It hart just been forwarded. On November IS I again llled a cable stating that three of my | j cables had been unanswered , and stating that a substitute would answer as consul during my absence and requested u reply. To this I received a reply Immediately , which wils a. reiteration ot the reply to piy ' first cable. , , Told to Come Homo. Upon receipt of tills reply , which was on November 21 , 1 Immediately wrote to the department ncctiptliiK the refusal to grant my absence and stating In that totter that i I would abide by the decision of the department - ment and attempt to conve y an intelligence ' for tho'department's guidance of the cofitll- tlons there 4n .mall dispatches. On Decem j ber 1 I received n reply from the depart ment to my cablegram of thu 14111 , which I I had been Informed two days previously had , just been forwarded.
