In tho debato on tho bill Allen said ho
did not suppose It would be denied that tho
adoption of .tho gold standard was a gross
violation of tho republican policy ns enunci
ated from tho republican platform of 1806,
nor would It bo denied, ho thought, that
tho republican party had made no honest
effort to"brlng about bimetallism.
Aldrlch Denies Allen's Statements.
Aldrlch, chairman of tho llnanco commit
tee, said:
"I will Interject Into tho sonntor's re
marks, with his permission, a denial of
every statement ho has made and the prob
ability Is that at the conclusion ot his speech
I can enter the same denial."
Later on, when Allen declared tho bill
required the payment of all debts, public
and private, In gold coin, Senator Aldrlch
entered a straight denial, nnd did tfco same
thing when 'Allon nsscrted that it conferred
unlimited power for tho Issuance of bonds.
Allen retorted that tho wholo measura re
duced every contract to tho gold standard.
Ho especially attacked tho mensuro because
of tho favors which, he said, Is extended to
the national banks. Tho ponding hill would
bo moro far-reaching In Its blighting pon
scqucnccs than any measure ho had ever
known and Its enactment would bo a terri
ble calamity to tho people.
Aldrlch briefly replied, denying that the
measure extended to national banks nny
additional privileges. Briefly, thero was not
the least danger of Inflation by tho luuanco
ot national bank currency under the provi
sions of tho pending bill. Tho entire amount
possible to bo Issued by tbo banks would bo
$609,000,000, nn Increaso of $360,000,000 qver
tho present national bank currency.
Populists Have Unit Sixteen to (Inc.
Aldrlch then nsked Butler If ho and his
party still favored freo colnago of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, and Butler, not answer
Ing directly, Aldrlch charged tho populist
party had abandoned free coinago ot silver.
Butlor protested against this version of hls
rcmnrka.
Tho scnato then passed a Joint resolution
authorizing the president ot the United
States to Invito tho government of Great
Britain to Join In tho formation of an Inter
national commission to examine and report
on tho division of tho waters that aro the
boundaries of tho two countries.
Clark ot Montana directed the attention
ot the chair to tho fact that his voto bad

have been mado by members on both sides
of tho house to Induco Representative Tal

decision to Insist upon n quorum at the

nvold the necessity of bringing In Ihe rule
framed by the commlttco on rules to devoto
two Fridays of each month to tiio consid
eration ot private pension bills. The demo
crats who aro Interested In private claims
which aro set for consideration on Fridays
sought to provent the appropriation of two
Fridays for pension bills, and the repub
licans were equally anxious to avoid day
pension sessions,
Tnlbcrt, however, declined to yield. He

Approval.
WASHINGTON, March 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Congressman Burkct's maiden
speech today In the house on the Aldrlch
Robblns election case was received with
marked approvnl by bis colleagues.
Tho young congressman from tho First
Nebraska district made a most favornblo
Impression through his arrangement and
presentation of tho legal phases of tho case
nnd he carried himself like nn old timer.
If there was nny nervousness nbout him It
was not apparent to, the general public. Ho
took the high ground that Aldrlch had been
elected nnd even though Mr. Robblns, dem
ocrat, had a certlflcato" of election, ho be
lieved In dealing fairly1 with the subject, to
the exclusion of a democrat nnd the seating
of a populist.
Senator Thurston presented Juan Boyle
of Kearney to the president today, who In
turn nsked for tho-promotlon ot one ot his
sons, who Is corporal In tho Thirty-second
Infantry, to lieutenancy In the Thirty-ninth.
Tho president spoke highly ot young Boyle,
but raid that ho had made It an Inflexible
rule not to promote soldiers from ono regi
ment to another, ns It would crento discord
In tho army nnd embarrass tho wholo ma
chinery of tho War department.
Senator Quarlcs, to whom has been re
ferred the bill for settling the dlfllcultlcs
between Otoe nnd Missouri Indians nnd set
tlers In Gago county, Nebraska, and Marshall
county, Kansas, stated that ho had drawn an
amendment extending the time In which de
linquents must mako payment to ono year
Instead of ninety days. This, It Is under
stood. Is perfectly satisfactory all around,
and tho early passage of the bill Is looked
for with the amendment attached. Sac and

tinued by tho sub:ommlttec having charge
of tho appropriation bill; nlco the 818861011

Getting the PlnRiie In Hand.
WASHINGTON. March 6. Tho surgeon
general of the marlno hospital service has re
ceived a report dated February 20 from
Surgeon D. A. Carmlchael nt Honolulu sum
mlng up tho plaguo situation there and at
Kaluhul, on the Island of Maul, and nt HUo,
Hawaii. At Honolulu ho says that up to
February 19 the situation looked promising.
On that date thrco now cases, all fatal, were
reported, ono Hawaiian Chinese woman nnd
two Chinamen. Tho ' Infection In these
cases Is supposed to havo been from Asiatic
foodstuffs.
Dr. Carmlchael gives the results of the
observations of a trip mado by Consul Gen
eral Haywood, President Wood' of tho Board
of Health and himself to Kaluhul, Maul, and
Hllo, Hawaii, to losk over the situation nt
thoso places. They started February 13.
At Kaluhul tho Inhabitants of Chinatown,
whero tho disease was discovered, had been
moved to a detention camp, Chinatown de
stroyed by flro and tho dead burned. No
cases had developed slnco February 10 and
tho situation was well in hand. Sugar Is
shipped directly from Kaluhul to San Fran
Cisco. All cargoes are discharged and re
celved In open bay. Complete arrangements
wero made for tho shipment of tho sugar di
rect from tho plantations to tho landing
place and thence to tho lighters, so ns to
avoid, as far as possible, any danger of in
fectlcn by tho men engaged In tho work.
At Hllo the doctor found only ono case of
plaguo reported, a Mrs. Serlo, tho wife of a
Portugueeo merchant, who kept a small storo
near tho water front. Tho case resulted
fatally.
Tho party returned to Honolulu on Frl
day, February 16. Thero have been so few
cases lately, tho doctor adds, that tho untl
plaguo scrum has not hod a fair trial.

"Most honorably acquit."
That tbo court was onmnosed of of

without saying, nnd that It :)rorrdln:ri.
findings und approval were In all rerpocts
regular nnd lawful has never been ques

of tliet otllclal report (enclosed herewith)
of tho engagements of tho Fourteenth
United Stnte.s colored Infantry In and about
Decatur, Aln., during the latter part of
tho month of October, 1S64 (printed In Vol.
39, part 1, pp. 714 to 716 of the records of
tho union 'and confederate armies, wnr ot
the rebellion), which report Is signed by
tho ofllcer who later preferred tho charges
uron which I was tried, ono of which
related to that tlmo and place.
I feel confident that to one of your Ions
experience ns n public olllcer and your high
senso of Juntlce, the official records here
with brought to your attention will not
permit you to be misled nor to accept
as truthful tho statements which nre re

In fucllltatlnir nn examination of tho rec
ords made, day by dny, from tho tlmo
when, ns a lad of 19. I left my father's
farm In southern Ohio and entered tho
volunteer nrmy. 1 am now closing my
thirty-eighth year of continuous) service
a service, modest though It has been, yet
I clulm to hnvo been honest and faithful,'
Twice Hrevetted by iirnnt.
My service In tho volunteer army covered
nearly four yenrs, having In that tlmo
held commissions of six grades, from hoc
ond lieutenant to and Including tbnt ot
colonel with brevet of brigadier gonqral.
From all of which I wns honorably ills
rhnrged; not only this, but General Grant,
while secretary of war ad Interim (two
years after the trial herein discussed had
been of record In tho War department)
conferred upon me by authority of tho
president two brevets, ono ot major, for
gallant and meritorious conduct In the bat
tlo cf Deentur, Alu.. and another of lieu
tenant colonel for llko service In the bnt
tlo of Nashvlllo (copies of which are en
closed) covering the exact dates set forth
In too speclllrntlDn to tho charges tried.
Following my dlschargo from tho volun
teer service I was appointed a Kpcond llou
tonant In tho regulnr nrmy and July, I860,
I was appointed a cnptnln In ono of the
new regiments, nnd, so far ns I am aware,
without the solicitation of any Inlluonce
outHlde of the mllltnry service. I hnd been
nn ofllcer of tho nrmy moro than fourteen
yenrs beforo I had the honoruble and per
sonal acquaintance of nny member of con
gress or nny one else In touch with author
ity in Washington.
Ten Yenrs Attains! Iudlnns.
My first ten yenrs In the regular nrmy
wero spent with my company In the then
remoto western states and territories of
Kunsns, Colorado, Now Mexico, Arizona
nnd Texns. hnvlng In thnt time marched
In different expeditions against hostile In
illmiH und chances of station from Fort

I railroads leading to the west), to Fort
llrnwn. at tho mouth or tile mo lirnllde
tho distance traversed und tho dlflleultles
of this service being fully understood only
by thoso who have hud the experience.
During nil theso ten years I was never
absent from duty for n. Hlngln tiny from
nny cmtso whatever, I served fourteen
years as a captain of Infantry and In tho
adjutant general's department, nine years
In tho grude of major, seven years In tho
grade of lieutenant colonel nnd two years
In tho grade of colonel, und nt the tlmo
of my uppolntment ns ndjutlint general
wns tho senior colonel In tho depart

that tho president tendered mo the com
mission of major general of volunteers,
which I had the honor to decline, so that
nil ofllces (limited lit number by law) might
ho given to olllcers sorvlng with troops
In tho Hold, I havo now served In tho
regular nrmy more than a third of u con
tury nnd I havo been absent from duty
from nny cause less thnn thirty dnys,
This appeal Is mado to you In tbo name
of Justlco nnd I nm confident that It Is
