MORGAN MAKES A GENERAL ASSAULT Beveral of His Oolleagues Feel the Sting of His Rarcasm, SHERMAN PLEADS WITH THE DEMOCRATS e Axks t ttle the Siver Ques- Their Powor to Do So—Pointea and Exclts ing Colloguies. Wasnixaroy, Oct. 17.—Immediately after eho journal was read in the senate this morn- ing Mr. Dolph of Oregon rose to correct it on the ground that it was inaccurate in failing ite the presence of Senators Allen and on sundry roll calls, they having been present in the senate and failing .t vote’ Mr. Dolph said it had be come apparent that if senators could talk indefinitely and read from the books and papers without limit, and if tho scnate was not to amend its rules or to put a different construction upon them that the seuate must drift down the current of endless talk with- out accomplishing any results, He believed he could say that twenty-six republican sen ators not ouly favored the vepeal of the sil- ver purchasing clause of the Sherman act, but would be willing to vote to amend the rules 8o that the same should limit debate. Mr. Dolph regarded as ridiculous and farcieal the procedure in the senate when a sena- tor sugeestéd the absence of a quorum and then refused to answer tohis name. He characterized as disorderly and violative of the spirit of the rules of the senate the refusal of a senator to attend when re- quested by the sergeant-at-urms, or when he 3 did respond, refused to vote. That course was bringiug the senate into disrepute and bringing scandal upon it. He was getting very tired of that sort af thing, and it was time the senate should have a little back- bone. Mr. Harris of Tennessce regretted that Mr. Dolph wus tived, but if he were, the, best remedy would be to sit dowu and t [Laughter.] It would be a rclict to him and to the senate, [Laughter.] The journal, ho snid, recited the proceedings accurately and the scolding administered by the senator from Oregon was not merited, Mr. Faulkner of West Virgin who was in the chair last evening and ruled on the resolution then offered by Mr. Dolph that the names of Messrs. Allen aud Kyle be re- corded, said that there was no power to count a senator us present, and justified his decision in ruling the resolution out of order. Senator IHIs Fosition. Mr. Hill of New York said he had never shared in the belief that in the absence of rules the speaker of the house had not the right to tell the truth and make the journal refuse to tell a he—that the speaker had not the right to excrcise his own senses, and whon a member sat right in front of him and did not vote, to have the journal show the fact of his presence. The senate, Mr. Hill suid, was clinging to some traditions of past ages and there was no sense in it; there was no reason for it und never had been. There was no harm ir. what was proposed to be done. The rights of no one would be in- vaded. The duty of the senators was greater than that of merely remaining in their seats. It was their duty to take a purt in the transactions, Mr. Gray of Delaware inquired whother Mr. Hill contended that under the rule there was 1o other method of ascortaining the presence of senators than by their responses 1o the roll call *‘Yes,” replied Mr. Hill emphatically, “Of course the senator from Delawave will admit wrict letter of the rule carried out sitimate conclusion involves an ab- surdity *1 believe,” continued Mr. Hill, “that the presiding oficer of this body has a perfect right under the ruies upon a roll eall, either upon his own suggestion or that of a senator, w0 first ask a s nutor who in his seat to vote. When the senator pefusesto vote then 1 believe the president has to enter upon the journal that the senator was present and declined to vote." The vice president held there was nothing befora the senate at this stage except what pertaived to the approval of the journal and therafore the resolution of Mr. Dolph was not iu order, Mr. Dolph then moved that the name of M. Allen be cnteved in connection with the roll call had at 6:10 p. m. yesterday afrernoon, Started Mr. Morgan, democrat, of Alabama isaid he was not surprised that the senator from New York (Mr. Hill) had championed the rulings of the house becauso he was the un- fortunate instrument when he presided over the senate of New York in the introduction of that heresy not only into the democratic party and its teaditions, but also into the constitutional rights of legislative bodies. Mr. Morgan called it heresy because, to his mind, obviously, it wus thut the majority of a logislative body, he said, could take care of itself. 'Does the majority here take care of 1t- self!” asked Mr, Washburn, *1 will inform the gentleman,” replied Mr, Morgan, “that he himsell nas some times been in the majority [referving to the anti- option bills when he was not uble o take care of himsels.” he Trouble, *1 have always been able to take care of myself in this body and elsewhere,” said Mr. Washburn sharply. 1 have not seen it so worked out in the measures the senator has advocated,” de- elaved Mr. Morgan, “The senate passed that bill by a hand- e majority, but it failed in the house for the want of i Lwo-thirds majority,” said My, Washiburn. .

That is the first proposition. Is that right? “Go on," urged Mr. Washburn “Is that right?” persisted Mr. Morgan. “After the senator shall have n statement, I desire to state th coalition of any description,” said Mr. Wash- burn. “Noagreement or understanding of any character or description and when the senator states there is a coalition, ho doe very grave injury to every man on this side of the chamber.” Smncks of Old Times.

Sinn tlmo AL Mr. Morgan then resumed his argument, He alluded to Senator Sherman as one of the coalition leaders, and Senators Lodge and Hill he called the “juveniles from Mas sachusetts and New York.” He procceded to argue against the position taken by Mr, Hill, which brought that senutor to his feet to state exactly what his position was. SLelam first” said Mr. Hill, “that it is within the power of the presiding officer (in the absence of express rules to the contrary) to detormine the presence of a quorum, My second proposition is that there is no rule of the senate which expressly or even impliedly forbids that uction.” Mer. Gray could not call to n.ina any provo- cation for Mr. Morgan's heroics, nor could he seo much of argument in support of any of the important propositions pending. Vitu- veration was not argument, and imputations on the motives of others did not carry con- viction, Wilting to bDie Right There, On the question of cloture Mr. Morgan de- fied the senators to establish such a rule. He would not be warned iuto subordination 10 the scheme of any ono by anythinz of tho kind, nor would he surrender his constitu- tional rights in response to howling. ram- pant demanas of concession to the national banks, It T must die here,” said Mr. Morean in clasing, “1 will die iilte an honorable man at my post.” Mr. Gray took issun with Mr. Hill. That Senator was in error in saying there was no rule that covered the case expres: pliedly. Hercad a portion of the rules to show that the presiding officer could not act in accordance with Mr. Hil's sugeestion. He had denounced the proposition before on the force billas a step toward absolutism, and he denounced it now. He did not pro. pose to blow hot and cold. Mossrs. Allen and Kvle took oceasion to deny that they were present when the roll in question was called. Mr. Hill said he nad not expected to con- vince senators who had no resbect for the supreme court and were not willing to bow to its decision, Paid His Respects to Morgan, Mr. Hill then paid his respects to Mr. Morgen. It was true, Mr. Hill soid, that there were politicians in Now York. He supposed that there were no politicians in Alabama. They were all statesmen from that country. [Laughter.] Mr. Morgan had spoken of his lifelong devotion to the constitution. “Isupposed,” said Mr. Hill, *for a brief period, my friend was supporting another constitution, but I am mistaken.” [Ap- plause.] As to Mr. Morgan's wik about dying at his post, Mr. Hill had heard like statements by men who were going to die in the last diteh, “but,” said Mr. Hill, “there are many of them left. |Renewed laughter. | Then Mr. Hill, referring to a remark of Mr. Morgan, that'the decision of the su- preme court did not bind his conscicnce, Mr. Hill related an anecdote of 4 lawyer arguing a case before a justice of the peace. who vead a chapter from Blackstone, not for the purpose of showing that the justice was wrong, but to show what a fool Blackstone was. [Laughter.] So he (Mr. Hill) had read the decision, not to show that Mr. Mor- £an was wrong, for he was alivays right, but for the purpose of showing what u fool the supreme court hud made of itseif.

Hiil said he supposed Mr. Morgan, in making that tribute, had in view all the recovds of Mr. Thurman in_the senate, Hethen read from the journal of the sei © when on one occasion Mr, Thurman bemng temporarily called to the chair and certain senators re 'usln;: 1o vote, counted a quorum. The gal- erics’ vigoroUsly applauded the recital of this uetion on the part of Mr. Thurman ana Mr. Hill said; “There is the precedent which T ask this body to imitate, There is one of the distinguished men whom I pro- pose to follow rather than the lead of the distinguished senator from Alabama," Mr. Sherman's Speech, Mr. & herman, revublican, of Ohio then ad- dressed the sennte. He said tho rules of the senato were made to expedite public business in, an_orderly, proper manner and their object'was to enablo the senate to log- 1slato. While that was the primary object of alk rules, it was equally importint to give the minority full and free opportunity of debate. But when the rules were used by the minority to obstruct legislation the rules should at once be altered. Wheneve a minority used means of obstruction unduly it created a revolution. Mr. Sherman said the destructive methods which had been pursued in the last two months hud gone far beyoud anything he had over witnessed in his senatoriul experi- euce. In fuot, obstructive mensures had been resorted to which had never beon in- voked since the senute was fivst organized, It wis then a dignified body of twenty-six members and it went to the extreme verge of liberality in debate. The practice of Btopping a senutor in the midst of his speech 10 suggest the absence of & quorum wis an innovation and was a kind of obstruction that had never been resoried to before, Violation of Rules of Good Ocder, ‘The refusal of senators to vote was a vio- lation of the rules of gond order. He thought, therefore, probably not at this session, that the time had arrived when the senate must adopt rules to prevent obstruction to publ business. There was a change in the senate ~l0U on the score of ability, but due to in creased numbers. There was no legislatiy body in the world that had not some power to close debate. The proper way to secure a limit of debate wus in the next session of congress 1o have the committee on rules strengthened in numbers and have it examine all the various rules and roport a rule which would power 1o ex- press its opinion and presoribe the time when and the place where the final vote could be tuken. The present session had continued two months and nothing had been done-not a single measure had passed the scnate that was of theslightest importance. The house of representatives lad verformed its duty, but in the senate there had unot been a 'Vole on auy question where there had been any differcnce of opinion.

The special also noted the fact that when the bill was passed there were present neither Kem, McKeighan nor Rryan, and it also took occasion to observe the well known fuct that these three worthy misrepresentatives of Nebruska interests neir duty dur- ing the past Lwn years in securing this legis lation. Addressing the speaker Mr. Kem announced that Reoresentative Meiklejohu, who is & member of the committee ou public lands, whence this bill emanated, was not a high-minded geutleman or he 'would not have called up his (Kem's) bill for action in his (Kem's) absence. He stated that he was necessarily abseat from the house and thiat it was his intention himself to secure #clion upou Lhe measure at some future day. Mr. Kem was wrothy over tha'fact that Mr Meiklejohn had finally securéd definite and final action upon the measure, Meikiejohn's Reply. Mr. Meiklejohn arose and ssid that after the morning hour on the 12thiof October tie called up, seeing that Mr. Kém was absont from the floor of the house, and asked the unanimous consent vf the house for its im ate consideration of this bill. Consent was given, and the bill was at once passed and sent to the senate, where it will receive consideration at the hands of Senator Manderson that was given #t in the house. Mr. Meiklejohu stated that if in serving the interests. of his constituency and remaining in his seat for the purpose, so that no opportunity might pass unimproved, was “not heing a_gentle- man" ho was willing that that indictment iould stand against bim permanently. 1t has always been the custom Guring the mornivg hour for any member of a commit- tee to call up any measure forconsideration which hys emanated from his committee, and it has always been reganded the duty of a member in the absence of his colloague to sce that no opportunity was missed to se action upon n measure introduced by hi colleague, and 1n the action which Mr Meikiejonn secured he was not only reliev- ing the people in Nebraska, who were di rectly interested, but if Mr. Kem was acting in good faith, was placing the member of the Sixth district under obligations to him. Mr. Kem made a sorvy speciacle of himself. Brynn Has o Compromise Scheme. Representative Bryan has invented a compromise upon the silver problem. He stated to Tie Bee correspondent in his terse language: 1t scems now certain that a_compromise ome kind will be obtained, I hove it will ch a compromise as will recognize the vrinciple of bimetallism. The democratic platform said: ‘We hold to the use of both #old and silver as the standurd money of the country.’ ete. The repul platform ex d the me in almost identical language, saying: “The republican party demunds the use of both gold and silver as standard money,! ete. 1t would therefore seem necessary that tho compro mise, unless both platforms are to be repudi- ated, should recognize both gold and silver as standard money. A reascnable basis for compromise has been suggested and could be adopted, without the sacrifice of principle on cithe; if the friends of repeal are sin- cere in their declarations in favor of bi- metallism, Let the compromise mensure provide for the unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio. This will satisfy the silver men. Solved by Selgniorage. “Then to quiet the fears of those who think we would be deluged with silver from broad, or that an incressed price would flood us with home-produced silver, seignior- age could be agreed upon. The silver men would want it as small as possible; the gold men would desire it as large as nossible, but they could probably come together on an amount between 20 and 30 per cent. 1 be- lieve that 27 per cent would make the bul- lion ratios about 218 to 1, which is substan- tially the rate fixed by the Indian_council when it suspended ‘the coinage of silver, T'his seigniorage, while it does notv destroy the principle of bimetallism nor interfere with the automatic supply of woney, allays the fears. I believe such fears arezroundless. Of those who believe this country would become a dumping ground for the world's silver, such a_solution of the question, owhile not so satisfactory to bi- metallists as free coinage would, be more sat- isfactory than unconditional repeal, and while not so satisfactory to the repealers as unconditional repeal it would be more satis- factory than free coinage. They Must Recoguize Silver. ‘It must be remembered that a majority of the democrats in the house preferred the restoration of the Bland act to unconditional repeal, and that they only voted for uncon- ditional repeal after a majority of the re- publicans had prevented their obtgining the Bland act. It must also be remombered that amajority of the democratic senators. even if some of them vote for uncénditional re- peal, desire tho coinago of goid and silver on equal terms. “I'ne compromise suggested is not original with me, but commends itself to my judg- ment as the most reasonable basis for an agreement. Any plan which provides for the purchase of bullion simply substitutes one cowardly makeshift for another; any issue of bonds to buy gold 1s open not only to the objection that it unnecessarily in- creases the public debt in time of neace, but it would beaccepted asa declaration that the government does not regard silver us the equal of gold, or, inother words, holding to the use of gold only as stand money in violation to the deciaration m: by the national platform of all the part will the people hold their represen guiltless if they disregard the pledges so re- cently made?” Argued a Usury Oase. In the supreme court of the United States today a usur) e from Nebraska was 1ed. Ivwas the consolidated cases of the Schuyler Nutional bank of Schuyler, Neb,, against Neil . Bollong and John G. Bollong. ‘I'ne Bollongs, when their paper given to the First National of Charlotte, . held by the Schuyler National bank, fell due, pleaded usury and claimed that the bank had vio- lated section 5,1950f the Revised Statutes of the United States, which provides that a national bank which exceeds the rate of in- terest allowed by the laws of the state in which the bank is located is guilty of usury, and the borrower may recover double the amount of interest paid. The Bollongs sued for double the amount of interest paid, ana demanded a jury trial, and in the lower court securcd one judgment for $402and another for §2306, T ses were consoliduted and passed through the various courts of Nebraska and finally come to dernier resort.

Yesterday was a trivmphant and grand spectacle. Two million people were massed in the streets and cheered the Russian of. ficers. No discordant ery was heard. The only shouts were “Vive | Vive la France!" The joy of the public was colossal. It is necessary in order to properly under stand the fete that it means that France has found an ally and no longer feels that she is alone in Europe; that sho no longer fears sudden attack, The German newspapers and the papers across the silver streak should underst at last why the French people are happy. Ihey have won a victory without effusion of blood. They have found sure friends, whose friendship is based on a community of interests and racial sympathy. You will receive from other sources the details of events of the day, but it is unpos- sible to describe the popnlar enthusiasm. The Russian officers were carried about in triumph wherever thoy passed, shaken by the hand by the working class and kissed by the women, The fete has lost its ofcial ud has becomo a veritable frater- a Russic! They're All Jolly Good Fellows, Admiral Avolan produced an excel- lent impr extremely pleasant toall. At the state dinner given by Presi- dent Carnot this evening he enchanted all those who met him. The other ofiicers of the Russian fleet speak * French, are young and appear merry. A political demonstration or sensational speech must not be expected, for the mere presence of Russians is of itself a demonstration, Its flvst result s the uniting of all Frenchmen from the duke of the Faubourg de St. Germain to the workman of the Faubourg de St. Antoine in the same burst of enthuiasm, The Jockey club, like tho window of the humblest republican organization,is bedocked with flags. The republic has also gained confidence. Tt feels its torce is confidence in itsarmy and its ally, ALl thisis worth the price paid for 1f. Sig. Crispi said yesterday at Genoa: “He who wants war is a madman.” Sig, In Paris no one wants war. us arrived in the Place do 'Opera, the Pavisians shouted: “Vive la France!” which meant “Hurrah for our- selves, who have resumed our place in the world.” Itis the finest day that Paris has seen since 1890, A week will be given up to fes- tivity,and thenserious matters will be taken up. But, 1 repeat, tuey will be pacific. TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF THE VISITORS, Unprecedented Scenes of Enthusing: Streats of the French.Capit Panis, Oct. 17.—Shortly after sunrise this morning the streets of this capital werealive with people bent upon enjoying a holiday and at the same time giving a welcome to the Russian sailors. Work throughout the city appears to be ata standstill. As carly as 7 o'clock the streets were crowded with people, among whom were tens of thousands of work people in their Sunday clothes, while every train landed thousands from the country districts.
