Palmer Opposes Him. THE WHISKY INVESTIGATION Mr. Bynum Makes an Explanation as to a Newspaper Publication. SENATE. Immediately after the routine morning busi- | ness the consideration of the sundry civil ap- propriation bill was resumed, the pending question being Mr. Mills’ amendment to the Sherman 3 per cent bond issue amendment (Mr. Mills’ amendment being to strike out the words “after five years from their date.”’) ‘The amendment was defeated without a di- vision. ‘The Vice President then put the question on Mr, Sherman's amendment and announced that it was agreed to, But Mr. Stewart then realized what was being done, and said that he and the Senate had been taken by surprise, and that he desired to address the Senate on the Sherman amendment. At the suggestion of Mr. Hoar both amendments were considered as still open, and Mr. Stewart proceeded to address the Sen- te. ‘MR. STEWART'S ‘PERCH. The amendment, ho enid, was “emergency legislation,” and the country had had already teo much financial emergency legislation. It was the bankers who were pro- claiming that the government was in- solvent and that there was an emergency, while, in fact, there was plenty of coin on hand, coin which Congress had made a legal tender for all the debts of the government, received this morning a director He had letter ‘from the mint, which he clerk's and ter gave the coinage value of silver bullion in the treasury on Febrnary 1, 1893, as (in round numbers) 138,000,000, with $357,000,000 in silver dollars,’ making ‘the total’ $495,000,000. It gave the amount of silver | certifi- cates outstanding on the same date as $323,000,- 000 and of treasury notes outstanding as $124,- 000,000, in all #447,000,000, showing an excess of silver over outstanding notes of $48,000,000; He denounced the amendment xs the most wicked, revolutionary scheme ever in- vented by man—laying the rude hand of legie- Jation on the accumulated precious metals of the world. After speaking for more than an hour Mr. Stewart said that he was not talking for delay, but that he felt most deeply the outrage proposed to be trated on civiliza- tion by a violent and wicked revolution which contemplated the destruction of all the silver money of the world in the hands of tho masses, reduction of the masses of the people to penury and want, and the building up of a gold arisiocracy to rule the United ‘States and E arope. He moved to amend the amendment by add- ing to it these words: ‘And the bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall not be used as security for the issuance of national bank currency. MR. PALMER ADVOCATES THE AMENDMENT. Mr. Palmer (Ill.) advocated the Sherman amendment and related an anecdote of whi ch he was reminded by tho speech of the Senator from Nevada. The son of a pions mother said fo her one day: “Mother, I'wish there was no ‘Why, my boy?” cannot do a thing but that you tell me if I do it I wil go to hell and be burned in everlast- ing fire and brimstone.”” At this point of the story Mr. Stewart broke in with the inquiry, “Do you not appreciate that danger now?” Laugh 41"*No, sir,” sald Mr. Palmer, “this proposition, which I supposed was one of mere business, in- volving no prineiple, presenting nothing new, tems to have atirred up the Senator from Nevada, so that wearo threatened with the most sorious consequences if it be adopted Mr. Paimer argued briefly in defense of the Sherman amendment asa pure, plain, business proposition which, if advanced to's dozen sensible men, would be accepted without a mo- ment’s hesitation. MR, VEST SUPPORTS STEWART. Mr. Vest (Mo.) spoke in support of Mr. Stewart's amendment. With his convictions in the subject he could not vote, he said, for any proposition that looked toward any extension of the national banking system as now organized, ad always supported the free coiiage of of to the in favor of bimetallism as established by the Constitution of the United States, and the traditions of the American people. fe declared tha: he never would by any vote of his add to the existence or the power of the | national banks. ‘They had abused that power when they thought they could do so, and they wore ready to do it again. NO ODJECTION To SHORTENING THE TIME. Mr. Sherman (Ohio), referring to his state- ment yesterday that he would have no objec- tion to shortening the period of the duration of the bonds to three years, said that he had since then coninlted with Senators and found that a majority of them believed that that would take away from the bonds a material value. He there fore withdrew what he had said on that point and concurred in the opinion that a five-year bond would be prefezable to a three-year bond. As to Mr. Stewart's amendment, he (Mr. Sherman) did no: wish to mix the question of banking with the pending | proposition, which was intended to maintain the parity of the two moneys. But the fact that the Pa bee bonds would exclude them from use for bank circulation purposes would take away from their credit and strength. AMENDMENTS RETECTED, Mr. Call (Hia.) argued that under existing | law the Secretary of the Treasury might issue bonds ata rate of interest lower than 4 per cent. The discussion having closed Mr. Mills” amendment (to make the bonds redeem: the pleasure of the government) was without a division, and Mr. Stewar ment (that the bonds should not be a basis for national bank circulation) was also rejeoted— yens 21, nays 32. | Mr. Pugh (Ala.) moved to amend the Shet man amendment by adding to it a proviso that none of the bonds should be issued and sold the amount of the “coin redemption fund” shot be reduced to $25,000,000 by the actual redemp- tion of treasury notes;and that nogreateramount should be scld than would be necessary to keep the redemption fund equal to $50,000,000 in coin. He said that his amendment embodied the policy for which the late Senator Beck of Kentucky had always contended. Mr. Pugh’s amendment was rejected—yeas, 21; nays, 31. Mr. Vance (N. C.) moved to amend the Sher- man amendment by adding to it a proviso re- pealing the tax on state bank circulation, Mr. Gorman (Md.) moved to lay Mr. Vance’s amendment on the table, sonian Institute to send for exhibition to the world’s fair any article in his custody illus- trative of the development of the industry of Eaten (0 one ine ne in regard to what the authorities were going to do on the elosing question before it gave them further he objected. privileges,and ‘MR.

A Contest to Commence Tonight at the Capital Bicycle Club Rooms. This evening twelve of Delaware's whist ex- perts, with their seconds and friends, will as- semble at the whist rooms of the Capital Bi- cycle Club house for a friendly battle with twelve of our local players. The visitors are sent by the Wilmington Whist Club to en- deavor to wrest from Washington the first place in the “American whist world which this city: at present holds. The capi- tal’s honors, won on several bard fought | fields against the best known and strongest whist clubs of the country, will be defended by the twelve-team of the Capital Bicycle Club, composed of Messrs. Wooten, Bingham, Low, Barrick, Dodge, Stephens, McComb, J. McK: Borden, T. P. Borden, Britton, Olds and Will- iamson. ‘The modern ryatem of duplicate whist will be played, in which the luck of having the better cards is gliminated by preserving the hands as they are played and reversing them so as to give each club in turn the same cards, and in which the recollection of a hand previously held by one's self is prevented by permitting the same dcal to be played only once by any individual. The game of whist has thus become for match or tournament aryoees 8 science as pure as that of chess. thas jong been | recognized to be a highly intellectual amuse- | ment, but only within a year or two has a con- venient form of whist contest beon devised by which the relative strength of play of different teams or clubs could be _ tested, and it is evident that the of whist has a great future before it. It is now, when mre by the duplicate method, as free from luck as chess, and its more social char- acter gives itecertain attraction and supe- riority over the kingly game. The whist play- ers of the country quickly appreciated the pos- sibilities of their game, under the system of duplicate play. The Capital Bicyole Club of Washington at once inaugurated inter-club pay in thiv region by a match with the Colum- 8 Athletic Club, wich the Bikler's won easily in two evenings’ play between twenty-four men from each club by a net gain of seventy- two points over their adversaries. In April, 1391, the first American whist con- gress assembled in Milwaukee, to which the Capital Bicycle Club sent a delegate. organized the American Whist the C. BiC. is a charter member,standing ninth ona present roll of forty-eight clubs. The | membership of the lengue is according to the last official report 6,133. The four-team of the C. Bi. C, then played a series of matches with different whist clubs of the country losing the first to the University Club of Chi cago by 1 trick: defeating the Chicngo Whist Club by 7 trick Clab of tricks the Fanwcod Club of New Jersey; mak- ing u net gain of 9 tricks from the josty cele- brated Hamilton Whist Club of Philadelphia; playing the Milwaukee Whist Club two matches, tying the first and winning the second by 1 trick, and defeating the St. Paul Whist Club by 4tricks, At the second American whis New York last summer the four team of the winning from the Carleton contesting clubs, the nearest to them bein Hamilton and Milwaukee clubs, each with 27 points to its credit. The four team has also played two other matches with the Hamilton Club, the first of thirty hands in Philadelphia which it lost by one trick, and the latter of sixty hands in Washington, which it won by one trick. The twelve team bas played a stronly contested match in Wilmington against the gentlemen who visited them today, which the Washington players captured by four tricks. It is expected that this evening's play will be close und ex- citing, and Washington will do well if she maintains ber prestige. _— Treasury Department. Promotions: Third anditor'’s office—Miss 8. A.

PLEASA CITIZENS. Not Many Meet, but a Good Deal of Interest is Manifested. The Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association held a called meeting inst evening at the Cogrega- tional Church in the village, but owing to the | blizzard -which was then prevailing the attendance was rather small. No business of importance was transacted, but several members took occasion to arraign District Commissioners for the manner in which they persistently neglected the crying needs of the village. Mr. Chapin Brown, from the committee on fire limits, informed the astociation that the Commissioners had finally made the northern limits as follows: Quarry road from the Zoo to Columbia road, Columbia road to 16th street, 16th street to Fark street, Park street to Mt. Pleasant avenue, Mt. Pleasant avenue to Whit- ney avenue, Whitney avenue to 7th street. Mr. J. B.'Slomon of the committee on char- ities. reported that about €175 had been ex- pended, and that a concert would soon be given in aid of the charity fund. The committee on sewers reported that the sewer from Rock creek to 14th street would surely be completed during the early part of the coming-fiiscal year and the committee on streets and sidewalks reported that good foot board crossings would be placed. throughout the vil- juring the coming spring. commitice silted tat Catal for too srienstonror arene and avenues was in conference, where it would undoubtedly rest. Mr. G. H. Hill called attention to the dangerous co dition of 14th street at the head of the cable line, owing to its narrow width, and moved that, the Commissioners having failed to do anything in the matter, the associ- ation should ignore them and lay ‘the matter before the Senate District committee. The association, however, thought it waa now too Jate in the session to ‘accomplish anything, and Mr, Hill's motion was not even secon The question of a new school house for the Village was then discussed, and it was charged that the Commissioners had failed to keep their romire to put the estimate for a school house in the estimates for the coming fiscal yonr. It was suggested that Mt. Pleasant should have a representative on the public school board, and the president of the association was directed to Tequent such representation. n. Ellis Spear stated that he had been ap- Pointed on, the executive committee of the tely organized Sanitery League of the Dis- trict, and he assured the aesociation that the | league would assist them in every way possible. A letter of resignation from Mr. J. C. Chureb- hill was red, in which Mr. Churchhill stated that, fecling that the association was accom- plishing Uitte, he desired to sever his connee- jon with it,’ The resignation was promptly accepted. ‘On motion of Maj. Aldrich a resolution of thanks to the daily press for its interest in the affairs of the village was unanimously adopted, and the association adjourned subject to the | call of the president. —— THE COMING BENCH SHOW.
