WENTY-FIRST DEFEATED BY DEMOCRATS. Oovernment Aid in Transporting Contribu- tions to Russia Denied, WHY THE MEASURE WAS OPPOSED BY THEM Benator Stewart's Siiver BIll Provokes Pro- longed DI ate—Bills wnd Measures Introduccd Into Both Branches of Congress Yesterday, Wasitisoroy, D. O, Jan. 6.--The at- tendance in the house this morning was not as large as yesterday, many of the members whose states had beon called taking aatage of this fact to absent themselves « to attend 1o departmental business. Mr. 9 cMillin, speaker pro tem, took the chalr promptly at noon and the journal of yester- day’s proceedings was read and upproved. ‘I'ne spaaker pro tem haviog laid beforotho house the senate joint resolution, authorizi the socsetary of the navy to transport contri- butions for the relief of the suffering people of Russia, Mr. Blouut of Georgia asked that it be referred to the committeo on naval af- fairs, If anything was to be done it was ©asy to bo secn that it must be dore at an early day. Ho thevefore further requested that that committee have leave to report it at any time, To this Mr. Kilgore of Texas objected, and he contended that the resolution, under the rales, came under the jurisdiction of the committec on appropriations and that it should be reforred to that committeo. ‘The speaker pro tem thought in the ab- gence of rules the house could dispose of tho resolution as it saw fit, that the first motion in order was one of reference. Mr. MeCreary of Kentucky presented the petition o Cassius M. Clay, formerly min- 1ster to Russia, in favor of the,United States extending uid to the famine sufferers. Referred to Appropriations Committee, Mr. Blount of Georgia then moved that tho house proceed to the immediate cousidera- tion of the resolution. Mr. Kilgore raised the point of order that this cculd not ve done. The speaker ruled to the contrary; but further ruled that a motion to refer would bave precedence. [Thereupon Mr. Kilgore moved its refercnce to tho committeo on ap- propriations. Messra. Blount and Herbert argued in favor of sending the matter to the navul commitiee, whilo Mp. Kilgore thought it should go to the committee on ap propria- tions. Mr, Bryan of Nebraska hoped the appro- mrintion of $100,000 woui be stricken from ae resolution. If congress was not e owered to aid the citizens or the people of % own country in Neoraska, during a drouth, how was it empowered to carcy corn raised this year in Nebraska to people of an- other country ¢ Where would this stop? How ghow partiality to ono nation aud not to others! His republican fricads were claim- ing that the McKinley vill had been throw- ing out of employaient many laborers in other countries ana that they were now in distress. If it was our duty to aid those whbom the wisdom of GGod had brought to distrass, how much more would it be our duty to aid those whom the folly of an Americar congress had brought. to tress. [Applouse and lauzhtor | Mr. Riinos of New York strongly advo- cated tha rosolution, Mr. Boatner contended that congress had no power to pass the resolution. Mr. Oates mado a constitutional argument nst the proposition. Mvr. Bouteile said the house owed it to it- s0lf to emulute the senate and pass the res- olutiou unanimously and promptly. Able to Aid Herself, Mr. Pendieton of West Virginia argued that Russia was perfectly able toaid her own subjects if she desired to do so. Russia was on menace to modern civilization and a throat "B peace. Some gentlemen had spoken of P.ne friendship existing between the two countries, That friendship was the friend- ship existing botween the Puritan and the \yblackleg. This house had been elected on NeA0 1S3ue of retrenchment and roform and w it was proposed to begin by appropri ating $100,000 fordhe relief of Russian sub- jects, when that mouey could be applied, if applied at all, to the reliof of American cit- izens within 100 miles of Washington. Mr. Kilgore withdrew bis motion to refer the resolution to the coramittee on sppropria- tions, Mr. Herbery moved to refer it to the com- mitteo on naval affairs with instructions to that committee to report it back within ten days. Lost, 70 to 10 The question then recurved on Mr. Blouut's motion to procead to the immediate consider- ation of .the resolution. This having been agreed to without ovjection the resolution was considered 1n the house as in committee of the whole. Holman Gets in s Work, Mr. Holman of Indiana moved to strike out tho appropriation clanse, He could not see any reason why tho United States should chartor & ship to transport the provisions contributed by ber citizens to the sufferers i Russia. The Russian goverament was amply Lablo to do this herself. g~ Mr. Breckenriage of Kentucky sincerely Yrusted that u democratic house would not be guilty of drawing a distinction botween using_ public money for running a public yessel and using public money for the chartering of a private vessel. I it were democratie to spend mouey at all, let iv be spent without higgling over such a small matter. If the goverament was going to offer this relief in good faith let itload the ships out of the public treasury with the con- tributions of the teeming northwest, It was constitutional; it was humanity; therefore, it was American and therefore it was dom ocratio; and for une he was willing to take democratic rospousivility for it. Could Not Stand the Expense. P\ mer Dockerey of Missouri called attention to the fact that the renort of the secrotary of tho treasusy showed that the expenditire: of the government were exceeding the reve- na ‘The oxcess of expenditures over reve- nues for tho fiest half of the present fiscal year has beon £273,000.

MORRILL OPPOSES FREE SILVER, The Vermont Senator Speaks Against Stew- art's Colnage Bill, WasniNaros, D, C., Jan, 6. —In the sonate today a large number of papers were pre- sented and referrad, Among the bills intro- duced and referced was one granting pensions to the soldiers of the Semirole and other Indian wars Mr. Mory the commities on to inquire into the progress made on the work of tho Nicaragua canal. Tho resolution was laid upon the table, Mr. Morgan stating he would cail it up LOMmOrtow. The senate pill introduced by Mr, Stewart to provide for the free coinege of zold and silver bullion was taken up and Mr. Morrill procecded to address tho senate. He eriticized the speech horetofore made by Mr. Stewart on the same subject and spoke in opposition to tho bill for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. He was now and ever in favor of maintaining both gold and silver 1 circula- tion, and silver to the extremest boundary that could mamtain it on a parity with gold. Mr. Morrill went on to say that national bank notes were rapidly being made to step down and out to give room to silver paper. Tho original United States notes, or greenbucks, were likely to be the noxt sacrifice demanded in order to give the whole field to silver paper. In ten vears more, under existing statutes, the government might have locked up in its subterranean uultssilver to ageregate in amount, perhaps, of more that §1,000,000,000, for allof which its obligations, pavabie in coin, would be out- standing. No silver certificates, or treas- ury notes issued for silver oullion, wore prosented for payment in_ silver, but they wers patd _in gold when the same was demanded. How long could they b thus keot on a parity with gold} Already the matter was of public and profound concern, When- ever the gold in the treasury should vanish, theso cortificates could = then bo piid in silver dollars, and thesc, as money, wera known to be not worth their foce value. As security fov silver certiticates or troasury notes which were to circulute at par with gold, they ware notoriously ade- quate, a3 they would bring no mov than 74 cents, Whatover advautage from the unlimited frea coinage of silver mnght acorue to the corporate owners of silver mines when gotd advanced to a premium, will bo brief and not permanent, as no secrotary of the treasury would be will- g to sell United States bonds in order to obtain gold to keep our paper currency, paid out for silver, on a parity with gold. In conclusion Mr. Morrill said: *1 have attempted to demonstrate that the deprecia- tion of silver would be both s0 great and universal that unlimited coinage could not be maintained on the pres- ent standard with gold, but woula suadenly wreck the | couutry by a silver revolution: that unlimited coinage would interdicr all international sil- ver compacts; that thereis no scarci'y of money in civenlation; —that the siivor standard would be equivalent to a horizontal reduction of the tarift of 25 per cont, it not more, and an equal ro- dueticn in all pensions: that the partics to first profit by free coinage would be the corporate owners of silver mines only, und the parties to flually suffer the largest losses by it would be the great mags of our people, into whose hands tho depreciated coin and treasury notes would finully pass.” Mr. Teller of Colorado, After quoting u sentence from the presi- dent’s mossage, to the effect that the bill hnd been expected to bring the price of silver up to §1.20 per ounce, Mr. Toller challenged the executive for proof of that statement, and as serted that only one senator, alluding to Mr. Jones of Nevada, had intimated that the act of 1800 would bring silver up to par. On the other haud wore han twenty senators had assertea that it wouid not bring silver topar. He had declared when the bill was under discussion that 1t wwas not a silver bill, and that it was not acceptaple to the silver people. It would not do to say that that legislation had been put on the statate book by silver people. 1f disaster came, as it would come if that policy was persisted in, it would have to be laid at the door of the men who had for fifteen years steadily resisted the general public do- mand for the use of silver on oqual terms with gold. “‘But there was,”’ he said. *an- other proposition coming from the executive. n offered a resolution dirscting foroign relations What was 1t! It was that the United States should accumulate all the gold of tho world, and the money centera of Burope would suy that, the United Srtates havinz got all the gold, they woald join the United States in tho work of using silver money. Coming as it did from the great executive of the nation, he (Mr. Teller) was bound to speal of it with respect, whatever he might think or feol. How was the United States to accumulate the gold of the worldf Even when this coun- try hud an abundance of crops and was enjoy- ing groat prosperity, gold haa lofu the coun- try at the rate of §,000000 a day. The United Stutes was a debtor nation, owing to Europe more than $2,000,000,000. More than £5,000,000,000—the senator from Nevadu, Mr. Stewart said. More than §2,000,- 000,000 cortainly—to be conservative. How was the United States to get Europe to un- load her coffers and to send her gold heret” He wished some friend of thenew method would tell the sonate how to get the gold from Kurope. He would like to see it coming at the rato of 81,000,000 o day. But it was another makeshift—another method by which the inevitable should be delayed when tho two m>tals would be put together, or else the use of silver be absolutely aban- doned, except for subsidiary coin. What the silver men wanted was to have the two metals put together, tied tozether by law, so they would be on an equality at a ratio to by estiblished. Many Could Have Made n Better Report, Mr, ‘Pellev referred to the fact of the aresi- deut baving sent o New York banker, Mr, Seligman, to Borlin in conuaction with the silver quostion, and said that he supposed that that was a delightful way of giving somebody a trip te Burope at the expense of the government. Certainly ail the benefit to be devived from it would be by the individ- uai ivhose oxpenses wers pud., He, Mr, Teller, could name twenty men in public 'life who could have gone w0 Burope and made n report that would have been of value; but no such report would be got from bankers or monometalists, Ho entered a protest against the declaration of the executive and of the senator from Vermont that the silver meu were rogponsi- ble for the legislation of 1890, He has him- self declared that he would vote for it with extrome reluctance; that he would vote for it because ho believed that it would revive drooping industries, would stimulate busi- ness and would bring hope and courage to the people of tho Unitea States. Ho did not vote for it because it was a silver bill, for it was ot A certain publ ma who had not yet taken his scut in tbo senate, meaning Mr. Hill of New York, had announced that the act of July, 1500, had to be repealed; but ne, My, Tellor, asserted that it would not be repoaled. Tnere was no considerable num- ber of public men 1n the country wno would dare to repeal it, 1t wight bo repealed if the samo amount of mouey was given to the people, and that could only be done by free coinage or by an unlimited 155ue of money at the option of the government. The latter would uever take place, and so the act of July, 1500, would not be repealed, It was' on the statuto book to stay fraugnt with all the dangers that attended it—and Lo admitted that those dangers wero great. His friends of the other sule of the chamber bad not voted for the bill, aithough they were silver men, and although twenty-five of them uad votea with bim for free coiuage. They had uot been willing to take the risk, but he had taken the risk—which he was Bot then insensible of, as he was not now.

PS8 H. S gt SHERMAN IS THEIR CHOICE, Ohlo Republicans Take Him s Their Can- didate for the Speakershi Corussvs, O., Jan, 6, —The republicans of Ohio have spoken, and John Sherman 1s to be the next United States senator from the Buckeye state. J. B, Foraker is defeated, but even in defeat his magnificent leadership excitos but the admiration of his opponents, and he is tonight, more than ever, tho idol of the dauntless young republicans who have given him such novle allegiance. For three days there hus been but one result staring these hardy enthusiasts in the tace—the ulti- mate election of Jokn Sherman, But even the inevitable was unable to dampen the en- thusiasm and they found a glory in going down to defeat with their leader, and attost- ing a devotion which none but the fiery or- aker could have inspired in the young repub- licans of Onio. Sherman's Political History. ‘With the expiration of the'senatorial torm to which John Sherman is to be elected he will have completed forty-four years of con- tinvous public service. . But six ygars short of half a century—it will be a record without arallel in tho history of Amerioan states- manship; for every vear of his long public sorvice will have been spont at Washington and in the servico of the pational govern- ment. Born 1523 John Sherman is 60 years old. As a young lawger he was clected to congress in 1853, at the time of the Kansas- Nebraska troubles, and, as a member of the congressionnl committee on the question of extension of slavery, in 1854 ho wrote the famous auti-slavery report which thrilled the nation and made bim one of the promin- ent loaders of the day. How well he has maintained that prominence In a service of six years in the lower houso, four years in the cavinet as secrotary of the: treasivy and an aggregate of twenty-eight yearsin the United State senate, the pages of American history bear record. { Convenlug of the Joint Guucus, The joint caucus convened at (8 p, m. in the tall of the house of representatives, and by acclamation Speaker Laytin of the house was selected chairman. Ho made a felicitous speech, abounding in compliments to both the senatorial candidates, and the call of the roll showed every republivan assemblyman present except Representauive Jaekson. Quite an_interesting contliet took place over the question of admitting the puulic, but a motion was finally adoptea in directing the sergeant-at-arms to cléar the galleries. ‘I'ne vast audience of spectators hissed this action voundly and it was onlytifter a great deal of tronble that the sergeauc-at-arms per- formed his onerous task. The first division of the veutiment took place upon & resolution of tha Ioraker men for a secret ballot. Immediatedy the Sher- man forces moved a substitute gprovidiug for an open ballot by roll call and & lively debate followed, Representative GriMis of " ‘he Foraker forces insisted that a secret halot was neces sary in order to protect men from intimida- tion and coercion. ‘“The ouly argument against a secret ballot,” said be, “is the de- site that be who dares to vote as his con- science and his convictions dictate may be exposed to the buildozer. [Applause.| The right of secret ballot is one of the greatest prerogatives of a free republic and that right, is rigidly presented at the polls by every luw upon our statute books.” ~ {Applause,] Senator Green maiatained that Griffin's arguments were fallacious. *Every man in this caucus,” said he, ‘‘comes here as the representative of his constituents to do their beest, and I suy woe be to the man who in open or seciet ‘ballot dares to set at defiance the will of those constituents. [Applause.] Surely men are not ashamed to voto their honest convictions and no man should favor this substitute except those who love dark- ness better than light because their deeds are dark.” [Applause. | ; It Wrecked the Demooratic Par Representative Taylor warned the caucus that it was by secret ballot that the demo- crats a fow years ago nominated Coal Ol Payne for the United States senate, and irrotrievably wrecked their party and doowned themselves to private lifo. Representativo McCrae's argument was ittle short of sensational, *Ace we cowards, or are we men !’ said he. *‘T'wice has notice heen served upon us that fhe calamity of private life may be our portion if we fail to respond to that side woich has been the greatest strength of noise and of threats, Tt won't do to talk about- looking people in the faco.

T'he dis- turbance arose over the presentation of a subscrintion which was claimed to have been raised by the iusurance agencies of the city and prosented to the boys in_return for their gallant cfforts in supprossing tho flames at the big disullery tive some time ago. The subscription amounted to $74. In tho dis sion it doveloped that the insurance com- panles had sent a man here from St.Louis 10 solicit subseriptions from the merchants of the city and that but £30 of the entire amount had been contributed by tho insur- ance wen. The heroic efforts of ths firemen undoubtedly saved the insurance companies upward of $100,000 at the distiliery fire and the boys ars indignant at the manner in whicb they have been treated. As tho dopartmont is not a paid ono and is dependent upon voluntary contributions tho members fecl that if the merchants are to be asked to make. contributions the wembers ure the ones to ao the asking. The contribution was finally accepted, however, and promptly turned over to the ity nospital. ‘I'he meeting was called for the ctection of officers and the following were elected: President, John Ott; foreman, Lewis Prue; fivst assistant foreman, William Pflaeging second assistant foreman, William Miller: pipemen, James Riley, Ire Goldin, [rank Nicholson, Frank Ecclestun; engineers, Kceleston and Riley; recording secretary, Willinm Lasher; nancial -secretary, Keank Nicholson; treasurer, Mike Bauer; trustoes, Phaoging, Eccleston and C.
