DERESE metering SILVER BILL AGAIN. ——— Senator Morrill Speaks Against It and Criticizes Its Provisions, BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE SENATE. Aconference was ordered on the naval ap- Propriation bill, and Messrs. Hale, Allison and Gorman were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate, PETITIONS. Petitions were presented: From Kansas City, for reciprocity in trade with Mexico; from New York, against the increase of duty on linen handkerchiefs and on brushes beyond the present rates—5 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively; from Memphis, Tenn. pro- testing against the Mississippi outlet system; from New Hampshire and Vermont, against pas ee to the — railroads and in favor of the government, taking possession of them; from Eonnecticut in favor of the in- crease of duties on hats proposed in the Mc- Kinley bill. AMONG THE BILLS REPORTED from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: The senate bill extending the jurisdiction of the circuit and district courts of the United States to the great lakes and their connecting waters. The Senate bill to grant the right of way through the public lands for irrigation pur- poses, Mr. Plumb introduced a bill (prepared by Mr. St. Johns of New York) for the purchase ot silver to use as lawful money. Referred to the committee on finance. OFFENSES IN INDIAN TERRITORY. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Spooner calling on the Attorney General for information as to the practice of the United States courts at Fort Smith, Ark., and Paris, Texas, in regard to offenses in the Indian ter- ritory, was taken up, discussed and agreed to. Mr. Dawes gave notice that he would tomor- Be ask the Senate to consider the fortification 1 THE SILVER BILL was taken up and Mr. Morrill addressed the Senate. There had been (he said) so much in- flation of history in some of the speeches made on the bill that it would be well for somebody to puncture it, and he should attempt to do his humble part in that work. The debate had been opened by the Senator from Nevada (Mr. Jones) in a splendid speech in which that Senator had made no argument in its behalf. He had cut loose from terra firma and had SOARED IN THE AIR OF FIAT MONEY. ThatSenator was a genius, was magnetic, and they allliked him—liked even his fables, in which he was a rival of La Fontaine. He (Mr. Morrill) had been in favor of doubling the amount of silver bullion purchased and had been, in fact, desirous of doing almost anything in that direction except abandoning absolutely and forever the bi-metallic standard ot money, But the followers of the new silver gospel were not easily satisfied. They de- manded the coinage of all the silver at the ex- pense of the government. ‘They also wanted the Treasury notes or certificates to be made a .egal tender for all debts, public — private. Then they wanted the Treasi serve to be cut down to ten millions, and the hundred millions of gold now held for the re- demption of legal-tender notes to be reduced to fifty millions, EFFECTS OF FREE COINAGE DEPICTED. Finally, rather than anything else, they wanted free coinage for all the American silver and for all that might be brought finto the United States from Mexico or any other country. The cost of coining silver (about : per cent) was to ne by the government and _—the ~—_—_ depositors of silver bullion were to receive all the differ- ence in value between bullion and standard dollars. That was the feast to which the Sen- ate was invited by the distinguished Senators from Colorado and Nevada (Teller and Jones). ‘The wage earners of the United States were to be counted by millions and were the most numerous creditor class of the country(and. he believed, the largest in amount). It was that class that it was now proposed to pay off in cheaper or in depreciated standard money and to require to pay higherprices for anything they had toobuy. Could there be anything, he askee, more likely, in all at an early day, to provo! wages? pes of the country, e strikes for higher LIKE FREDERICK THE GREAT. Frederick the Great, in preparing a cam- paign against a neighboring province, had or- dered his minister to prepare a proclamation, The minister did so, beginning with the phrase “By the grace of God.” “Strike that out,” said the king; ‘just say Frederick wants another province.” So it was with the silver miners of Nevada and Colorado. ‘They wanted everything about gold struck ont and simply to say *-We want 40 per cent more profit.” Silver would tolerate no rival near the throne. Asto the stories of the PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INDEBTEDNESS of the country, he (Mr. Morri!l) had no faith in them; and he believed that if the correct figures could be obtained it would be found that the indebtedness per capita was never less than in 189. He believed t by wise and moderate legislation a sufficient amount of silver might utilized and yet a bi-metallic standard be maintained. He did not want to have the United States di- vorced from the commercial worid, but that was not the policy of those who had led off in the debate. THEIR TRANSPARENT DESIGN was (only thinly attempted to be concealed) to go, by a single bound, to a silver standard. If the country was to have buta single standard he preferred that that standard should be gold rather than silver. He would, however, be glad to see both maintained and, with the expectation that with a very liberal in- crease of silver and with good management on the part of the Treasury Department, the parity of value would be preserved—silver advancing a good deal and gold receding somewhat in value. As to the ob! oquy frequently attempted to be thrown on the Congress of 1873, in con- nection with the cessation of silver coinage, there was no reason whatever in it, because at that time a silver dollar was worth 3 per cent more than a gold dollar. The depreciation of silver had beea caused not by that act but partly because of the demonetiz- ation of silver in Europe and partly by the in- crease of the silver production in the world. SILVER DOLLARS WON'T CIRCULATE. The United States had been coining silver dollars at the rate of 2,000,000 a month since 1873 and had tried its best to put them in circulation, and t, as & result, there had been in circulation in Sep- tember, 1889, only $57,374,000 or $4,617,348 less than three apg before. Mr. Mor- rill went on to against the proposition to issue Hei gra tender Treasury notes (in exchange for silver) as an unconstitutional measure, referring to the fact that Mr. Chase, as Chief Justice, had (like an- other Brutus) sacrificed his own child (the original legal-tender law) to the safety of the republic and to the statement by Charles Sumner (who had eus- tained that measure) that the extreme medi- cine of the constitution should not constitute its daily food. CONCLUDING REMARKS. In conclusion he said that he was not quite ready (much as he respected and admired the great ability of the Senators who are though finished within the last de- cade, was begun so long that the name of the architect had mm for- House ordered tos 5 esslaoenee the bill for the relief of A.

In the Honse this afternoon Mr. Lodge (Sfass,) moved to suspend the rules and pass a bill granting four condemned cannon to the | Abraham Lincoln Post of Charlestown, Mass. Lost—54, 56. Up to this point, in one respect, the session of the House today was somewhat remarkable. | The principal object of the members Present (and they constituted a bare) quorum) seemed to be to kill time and prevent any measure of general importance being called up. The biil called up by Mr. | Smith (Ariz. )—mentioned in the regular report elsewhere—was discussed for nearly an hour, though no attention was paid to the debate. WHY THE HOUSE LAUGHED. The Lodge bill was the target for many at- tacks, Every member who desired to secure condemned cannon for an army post in his dis- trict made objection, and a number of short | “home consumption” speeches were made, Mr. Anderson of Kentucky raised a laugh when, in response to a remark by Mr. Flower of New York, he suggested that all the cannon should be used to aid New York to erect a monument to Gen. Grant. THE TARIFF BILL. Result of Two Hours’ Work on it by the Senate Finance Committee. Two hours were spent by the republican members of the Senate finance committee this morning in the further consideration of the | tariff bill, The time was devoted to schedule D—wood and _the mancfactures thereof. Progress was slow. consider- able difference of opinion _ being shown over the rates of duty on timber at the beginning. There was cousiderable discussion upon the general question of the tariff upon timber, but the attitude of the several Senators was not disclosed. One of the members of the committee today repeated the opinion expressed Saturday that the bill would be ready for report this week. None of the schedules have been referred to the democratic members for their inspection, as there are too many disputed and unsettled items to make them of any value to the minor- ity in preparing their report. “Peraous interested in the lead ore paragraphs express the opinion that the duty as fixed in the House bill will not be disturbed. The tin plate paragraph, it is understood, bas been passed over without action. j Mears. Morrill and Sherman wil! not be with their associates on the committee this after- noon owing to other engagements, so that the bill will then be in charge of the subcommittee of two years ago—Senators Allison, Aldrich, Hiscock and Jones, THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE. No Opposition Expected to the Square Bounded by C, D, 11th and 12th Streets. The District post office site question will in | all probability be settled in the House early this week. The Senate has already passed the | bill to place the building on the square oppo- | site Tue Srar office, on the south side of the | avenue, and as this site was decided upon by a conference com- mittee between the two committees on public buildings and grounds it will be ac- cepted by the House in spite of the passage by that body of a bill selecting Pennsyivania ave- nue and 9th street as the site. The House committee have not decided as yet whether they will for conference with the Senate or move at once | toconcur in the Senate proposition. although | the probability 1s that the latter will be done. Mr. Milliken said today that be did not look for any opposition to the new site from the House, | ARCHITECT MULLETT’S CLAIM. Court of Claims Decides it Barred by the Statute of Limitations, Judge John Davis read the opinion of the Court of Clsims this morning dismissing the claim of Alfred B. Mullett against the United States for compensation as architect of the building now occupiea by the State, War and Navy departments, amounting to about $150,000. During the period of his superintendence over the con- | struction of the building the plaintiff was in | the employ of the government as the supervis- ing architect of the Treasury Depart- ment and was requested by the building com- mission to submit plans, which were adopted. In 1875 he retired from the service of the gov- | ernment and an offer was made to him by the | ¢ commission to pay him a salary to continue his | supervision, He rejected this offer and the building was completed uncer the care of an engineer officer of the army. GROUND OF THE DECISION. The court did not enter into the merits of the case at all, confining its attention to the question of the operation of the statute of limitations, which was urged by the govern- ment as a defense. Under ordinary circum- stances the statute would begin to run| January 1. 1875, when the plaintiff ceased to be a servant of the government, and this would bar the case unless some unusual conditionswere shown to exist. The plaintiff had undertaken to show that such was the case, claim- ing that under the customs of the As- sociation of Architects he could not compute | the amount of his compensation until the com- pletion of the building, which did not occur until the year 1888. This would have the effect of annulling the limitation. This claim was based on the rule for an_ architect to compute his fee upon the entire charge on the owner of the buil COLOGNE CATHEDRAL AND THE WASHINGTON MON- UMENT. ‘The court, in disallowing this claim, cited the instance of the cathedral at Cologne, which, gotten, also the case of the Washington monument in this city, which was nearly three- quarters of a century in course of erection.
