Five-Minuto Speeches and Votes Going on at Latest Advices. Unanswerable Arguments Advapoed in Bonator Jones' Great Speech, THE SBILVER BILL. IT8 PABSAGE DY TB SENATE WITI TNE PREE- COINAGE CLAUSE ATRICKEN OUT. Sueclal Disvatch (o The Chieago Tridune, Wasnixeron, D. C,, Fob, 15—It was & great relicf to the wearied occupants of the Benate gallerics this afternoon when Mr., Allison, who has charge of the Silver bill, arose to make his closing argument. It was generally supposed that his would be the last sct speech, nnd that he would wmake & resumo of the points in favor of the bill, aud voting would begin. There have bLeen thirty-two set speeches for and agalost the bill, and ten of the thirty-two spcakers have alred their eloquence a second time; but at last the main debate was ended, and the voting ‘was to bo commenced. It was first necessary. to act successively upon the amendments reported by the Committce on Finance, and ten other amendments offercd by Scoators. The amend- ment of the Committce was first fn order. The skirmish debates on the verbal changes neces. sarlly included o ood denl of wsdroit parita- mentary fencing, and at times there was more confusion than s usually witnessed on tho Senate floor. Late fn the afterncon there was AN AMUSING COLLOQUY between Senators: Blaine and Voorhees on the passage of the law demonctizing the sliver dol- lar, Dlmne siated that at that time there was no dollar circulated, and he attempted to show that the blll demonctiziog the stiver dollar was read in the full Tiouse, but Voorhces finally drove bim into a corner, and forced him to ad- mit that, nlthough the bill may have been read in the full House, ncither himgelf nor Voorhees knew anything about the tact.of the demonetiz- ing of the sllver dollar. 2 Numerous attemptsto secure an adjourn- ment were made, but failled, aud It was nearly 10 o’clock at night before THE PINST IMPORTART VOTEZY were taken. Then the Senate adopted the Dland bil} as amended by the Finance Commit- tee, with the frec-colnage clause stricken ont. The vote was mot a strict test of the silver strength, for the reason that sgme of the gold Senators have, for parliamentary reasons, voted with the silver men on the amendment, as against the complete Bland bill. Windom for the first time deflued bis position, and he fadi- cated that his doubts had been as to the num- ber of gralns In the dollar, but he voted for the 413}¢-grain dollar. A NEW AMBNDMENT was offered by \Wallace, p ropoaing that $100,000, 000 should bo colned in threo years, at which time, {f as compared with gold the siiver dollar was not worth 07 cents, the Becretary of the Treasury should discontinue its colnnge. It was charged that this amondment indicated n want of faith {n tho silver dollar, aud it was defeated —veas, 20; uays, 40, Edmunds, with his usual craft and parifa. mentary skill, moved an ameudment providing that nothing in the Sflyer bl as adopted should be construed to interfero with the reqular colnage of gold and subsldiary caln by the mint. This was defeated alter two hours’ dedate. In the course of that debate Jones, of Nevada, announced himself as a real greenback man. Attor an excited debate and much sparring this amendment was flnally de- feated,—ycas, 23; nays, 46. TUR AMENDMENTS to tho bill In their regular order ore as follows: By Mr. Allison—Proposing an Intornational Munetary Confercnco to establish a common rato of legal-tendor as Lotween gold and silyer for the purposa ot establishing futernatfonally tho use of bi-metallic money, ; By Mr. Burnside—Limiting the legal-tender value of the silver dollar to suins over $500 for the payment of private debts ouly.

By Mr. Booth—That the holder of coln au- thorized by the act wmay depoalt tho samo with any United States Treasurer or Assistant-Treas- urer, and receive therefor certificates of not less than $10 cach, said certificates to bo recelyablo for customs, taxcs, and all public dues, By Mr. Beck—Dirccting she Becretary of the Treasury to buy silver bulllon at its market price, nut less than $3,000,000 per month, and a3 much more as cau be colned at the United States Mints, and coln the same into aliver dol- lars, the gain in cofuage to go to the Treasury; bercafter all sliver hall-dollars, quarter-dollars, and teo-cent pleces colned at Unfted States Mints shall contaln the samo relativa quantity of pure and standard silver as the doilar of 4123¢ graina, Au amcudment fn the vature of & substitute by Mr. Chmthnnb providiog for the colnage of silver dollsrs of 41:33¢ graius; the zold coluage of the Uulted Statesls to ba the standard of value, but alter tho brescnt year the subsidiary sliver colus to be a legal-tender for all sue not exceediug $10, aud atter the passage of the act the sliver dollar, together with suvsidlary culns sutho; by law, sud silver buillon in bars, stamped at any ot the Upited States Miuts, to- Retler with the trade dollaz, shall be lr&d— lender for il debts accordivg to market value, a4 ascertalned sund doclared in the manuer provided in tho bHL, of such sliver colos and bullion ss comwuf with gold stits standard value.

The Sccretary of the Treasury 1is authorized to exchange any sflver colns In sitms not exceeding $100 for an equal amount of United States notes, sald notes to be retained and canceled and not agaln replsced by other notes. United Btatca notesredeemed under this actehall be held tobea partof the Sinking Fand, Minta may fssue certificates of deposit, sllv ullion certifleates to be payable in silver hars bearing the stamp of the Mint or Asasy Onlee where Issued. }RMr. Blatne—To coln silver dollars of 425 ralns; deposits of sllver bullion to be paid in au- thorized sllver dollars at the prics per ounce of bulllen, to be fixed by the Director of the Mint; the rate to corrcspond with the market value; any galn or profit from colnage to be = covered into the Treasury; silver dollars, or standard gold or sliver bara bearing the stamp of any Colnagas Mint or Assay Office, shall be exchange- able for coin certificates in denominstions of United States notes not pelow 820, in the samo m:nner ascoin certificates now fasued by gold coln. THERR WAS A PIGHT OF AN HOUR over Alllson's amendment providing for an In- ternational Mouetary Union, Alllsonsucrecded in carrying it by s vote of 40 yeasto 30 nays. The sflver men were divided. Many of the Boutbern men opposed it on the singular ground that to co-operate with the Laiin Unjon would be to Invite those entangling alliances against which Washington warned the carly Re- publle, Beln‘( pressed to stato whetber com- mercial relations arc not also cotangling alll- ances, they fell back upon platitudes, and as the midnlght hour approched spread the eagle, and it would not Le too much to ssy of some of those who spoke, and of morc who tried to speak, that *the wine was inand the wit waa out,"” AT MIDRIGHT 1t scems probablo that a final vote cannot be reached for hours, The galleries are filled with curlous spectators, The Senate floor bears tho traces of a long and weary day’s work, but the sflver men presented a determined front, and retused to adjourn until the bl waa passed, ‘This will doubtless be doue before daybreak. A NEW AMENDMENT to the original bill, providing that silver shall be lcgal-tender except where otherwise ex- gm-ly stipulated In the contract, was adopted 8 Vote of 87 yeas to 85 nays. This was the closest vote that "has been taken. The amend- ment sluply allows gold contracts. AT 12:30 A, 31, there was an anlmated passage between Blaine and Thurman uoon the subject of paying the bonds. Blaine, as his habit is, wea quits dra- matle. Thurman repelled his assaults by ridi- cule, charging bim with being as active as the Ihr’nquln in the play, who was born an actor; and the cadless stream of talk flowed on with- out a vote. AT 1 0'CLOCE A, M, the SBcnate agreed to limit all future debate to five-minute specches. The Cameron nmend- ment proposing’a silver dollar of 420 grains was then considered. AT 1:15 &, 3¢, Conkling protested that a vote should be taken, and the Senators not Le compelled to listen to argumonts mauy times repeated, with which the Chamber had resounded for weeks.! THE OLD DOYS, One featuro of the night's seasion deserves notice. Both 1touses of Conzreas have recently inade a great public show of temperance by for- biddinz the salo cven of beer at tha Capitol restaurant. One of the results secms to Emvu been & great fncrease n the number of demi- Jjobms in “committec-rooms. At alf events, per- sows of large experience at the Capito! say tfigrc bas not been so much drunkenness oa the floor of the Senate for ten years as tlcre Is at this night sessfon.} AT 1:30 4, 31, Mr, Blalne moved to amend Cameron’s propost. tlon by substiiuting hls 425-gratn for the 420- raln dollar. Defeated—yeas, 23; mnays, 40. Nonoof the Senators knuwn as sliver men voted yea, AT 1:45 4, . Eaton's amendment for a 440-graln . dollar was defeated—yeas, 185 mn‘l”) 40. Camcron's amendment for 420-grain dollars was defeated— yuas, 25; nays, 41, TIIE DEBATE. SPRECU OF BEXATOR INGALLS. ‘Wasnixaron, D. C., Feb. 16.~In the Senato this mornlog cunsideration was resumed of the Stiver bill. Mr. Ingalls spoke in tavor theteof. He quoted from tho specch of the Hon. John Sherman, dellvered in the Senate, to the offect that a single stundard of gold was an American Idea, and said the statement was vold of trutb, The original American idea wasasingle standard of sliver. He spoke at length aa to the history of gold and sitver as money, and sald wold was the most cowardly aud treacherous of all metals, It had no friend or ully that it did nut sooner or Inter destroy, No uation over fought a great war by the aid of gold, but, when tho battlo bad been sccured, and peaco restored, gold swaggered to the front aond clalmed the fruits of victory. Bflver was the money of the people, It was money of wages and of retail. It entered into the minute reserves of traftic, and I §t retired at tho aporoach of danger or from {nferfor currency, it sthl remalned at Liome, reaay to reappear again and do i work. Referring to tho resumption of speclo payments, he sald there wax not coin enough in existence to meet, in fact, & thousandth part of the commercial transactious of the world, and specio payment never would be resumed In fact. 'Tho American peoplo were not particulsrly wedded to culn as mouey. Thoy belleved coln aud paper were creat- ed by law, and Lad precisely the value that the Government lssuing thom declared they should posscws, It the United States contracted to pay thie bonds In gold, they must do t, cven though tho people loat everything in the attewpt t do wo; but ho clalmed no such coutract bad been niade. Sllver was a legal-tender when tho debt was contracted. The Benator from Wisconain 1Huwe), In hi gument on this bill & fow days ago, ssia this w: not the Kast sgainst the West, and he was right but It was tho East against the West and Bouth combined. It was the men who owned the public debt eguinst thoss who were 10 pay it, if it ever should bopaldatall. The bundsof this country were exempt from taxatlon, and they bore none of the burdens of soclety. The West and South, askiug the passage of this blll, were ssking lcss than they would ever ask again. In concluslon, he referrcd to the people of the ‘Wost and their labors, and sald when he reflected upon tho burdens they bore he was astonished at their moderation. MR, ALLISON, in charge of the bill, took the floor to close the de- bate, 1o oxplalued at length the provistons of the bill as reporied from the Benate Finsnce Commit. tee. and mado an able argument in support thereof. In clostng, he said: This demand for the re- monetization of aliver is not local in character, docs not originate fo the Weat nor 1a the Missiy- aippl Valloy, for the purposa of secariug & cheaper circulating medium, Lut haa the approbation of the best minde and thinkors of all civilized conntries, and s just now exciting ae deep an fntec eat in other countries s our own. Nor does this deniand originate in petty malice toward the pub- Ii¢ creditors. Tuat questiun Is of minor nnportance and insignificant, compared witli the great jutor- cuta of all the people of all civilized Stales. Those who favor this weasuro do not proposs 1o viviate suy promle, or o faruish ar 10 impaie the public credit, but rather desire 1o establish It upon an en- durlig foundstion, by increasing our ability to pay rding to promise the heavy public burdens uieh oo Weln s down. Losa of cOROGence, b of security, audlose of smployment now pervades every sectlon and every clase.” A preseut cure for thess evils bs beyond legislativo control. The ef- fect of this legistation will prubably be to remove the uporebenstun that uow esisti {n the publlc wind that prices are 10 contluue to fall as com. d with Kold. gk MR LANAR sald: Ar.

It further provides that whencver the market price of silver bulilon fs such that It cannot be purcuased by the Secretary of the Treasury at less than par with legal-tender nutes, he shall give public notice of the fact, snd then any citizen of the United States, who s the owner of nllver bullion, insy deposit the same at any mint and have it cotoed for his benefit.

In view of the fact that our revenucs hod been decreasing, | would ha; be safe to leave that provision now stood, In viow of the decreasing revonucs, tho question might be asked whether we had any surplus rovenuc.
