He took occasion to assail the press for alleged “monopolistic tendencies and made tho startling remark that no re- publican paper had quoted any of lincom's sayings for the past eight years, while the democratic press had omitted to quote Jef- ferson and Jackson for the past two years. Ho assortod that Tuk Beg would not advo- cata the ownorship of ralroad und tolegraph lines by 1ho people because it was on the wrong side of the question. No sooner, how- ever, had 1ho spoaker made this romark ere Mr. Leavenworth, candidate of the people’ party for city clerk, aroso and called him down.

Those on the ropublican side of the senate had remained silent, largely desiring to hear from the other side whom the people had honored with a majorivy. The president had oxpressed his opinion and while the republicans did not believe 1in him or his policy, and were under no obligat iun!]lfl the votes, nearly, to carry out his will, while the party that the president represented stood unable to formulate a policy or to say whut it desirel. If they did not agree with tho president 1ot them say so or let thom formu atesomething else. There were three or four important matt that domandod solution and the senate stood in the way. One w whother the United States should continue the purchase of silver bullion, and, on the whole, he thought it was not wise to furtter continua its purchase, as there was now bullion enough on hand to supply all that could be coined in the next two or three years, We simply want to suspend tho coin age of silver, not to demonetize it. Pleaded with Them to Agree, “'In times past,” sald Mr. Shorman, “when the republicans wers in the majority, we never shrank from the responsibility which is now upon the democratic party. republicans vecanse we be! lican principles and republicar mensures and whenever a question came up in the sen ate we never did the baby act.

Mr. Butler, democrat, of South Carolina, inquived whether Mr. Mills would partici- pate and be bound by a caucus of democratic senators, Before Mr. Mills could answer the ques- tion Mr. Hill asked Mr. Butler if he would go into a caucus of democratic senators and representativesand abide by tho result. Mr. Butler said he would, andin turn asked Mr. Hill whether he would go into a cauncus of democratic senaters and be bound by the result. Preferced to Caucus with the Eutire Senate, Mr. Hill preferred to go into a caucus where the entire body which had power to legislate was represented, and of that body tho senate was only o part. At this point Mr. Voorhees said he desired to pour some 10il on the troubled waters. Where had been a ereat deal of complant of night sessions, and he would therefore move that the senate at 6 o'clock take a recess until tomorrow morning ut 10. Mr. Butler, pending this motion, moved to adjourn, which the senate refused to do by a vote of 10 to 43, A point of ovder being made on Mr. Voor- hees’ motion to take a recess ut 6 o'clock, he withdrow it and moved that the senato at this timo take u recess until 10 o'clock to- morrow.

Mr. Burrows claimed the bill would repeal the section barring from pensions all who nud engaged in re- bellion, Colonel Outes depiod this. It only affected a small number of survivors of the Mexican and Indian wars and had boen recommended by gx-Commissioner Raum and ex-Secrotary Noble. The most important clause of the bill was the clause permitting these surviv- ors to recover bounty they had earned. ar the Old War apirit, The bill aroused some of theold war spirit, Mr. Burrows of Michigan got the floor and opposed the one-armed ex-confederate vet- erau, Colonel Oates, wio championed the bill, ' He maintamed it was an attewps to wipe out the statute denying pensions to those engaged in rebellion. “Call the nellhounds off the track of union soldiers,” ho said vehemently, “‘before you restoro men who were false to the union to the pension rolls.” [Republican applause. | Continuing, he called attention to the peculiar language of tho report, which used such phirases us *so-called reballion,” “war between the states,” ete. feo resented such statements.

[Republican applause.] X While Mr. Hurrows was talking the mem- bers crowded down into the avea in front of the speaker's chair, conspicuous among them being Gieneral Dan Sickles on crutches, and Jo Wheeler, the ex-confederate cavalry leader, Colonel Oates said he had fought four yoars aud had engaged in twenty-seven bat- tles in support of his convictions, but he was @s dovoted to the uuion s the tleman from Michigau.

THE DIPLOMATS Plained the small number of persons who would be affected and said frankly he did not think there was any particular necessity for the measure, Colonel O tes sugrested that the bill be modified to exclude pensioners. The modifi- cation was accepted, and without objection the bill was passed. The house then resumod consideration of the Cox hnnklnr bill. Mr. Lockwood opposed the Cox bill vigorously. After a debate lasting well into the after- noon, the Cox bill was passed. Mr. Harter favored the bill, He would support any measure designed to restrict the power of k officials to borrow money from the institutions with which they are connected. He would go further and place an absolute inhibition on the officers of banks, but ne did not beliove the bill shoula apply to directors. 1t it did 1t would be diMcult for banks to secure desicabio direc- tors. Mr. Draper of Massachusetts spoke in the same line, Mr. Heard of Missouri favored the hill, Mr. Van Voorhis and Mr. Ray of New York opposed the bill, provided it includea the directors. Mr. Hall of Missouri'supported the bill. Mr. Bailey of Texas opposed the bill, After some further debate Mr. Springer, chairman of the banking and currency com- mittee, closed.

Democratic Senators Hoping for n Solution of the Sitver Tangie. WaAsHiNGToN, Oct. 17.—In reference to the situation in the senate a morning paper prints the following: It is dificult to sce how a settlement can be reached without some sort of u cempromise; us the silver senators have the senate by the throat, and it is absolutely powerless to do anything unless the mujority will take them by the throat and trample on the rules, either to amend or to pags the bill. Thore is but one alternative and that is for the senate to abandon the bill entirely and let the session end with no result. This is the outcome the republicans would bo particularly delighted to bring about. They are already inviting tention to the inability of the democratic rvity to do anything, and if this sion should ena in absolute falure evory ropublican newspapsr and every orator on the stump would pomnt to the ectucle of the democratic party, in undis- puted possession of the entire legislative machinery, but without tho ability to_enact into law the first recommendation of their president, thouzh the majority of repub- licans have been sta; ready and anxious o aid them in every way. The democratic leaders say it will néverdo to let the session ond without some result. They do not sec a way outof the difficulty, but they are con- fident some solution will be fin reached. ‘They say the party might as well disband at once as’ to confess its inability to logislate, They insist thataction of somo kind must be the result of the session and they believe it will not be long before something is done. Their confidence seems to be based more on the idea that the party will bo governed by the instinet of self-preservation than upon any idea of what the form of action shall be. It “seems to be the general idea among senators on both sides of the chamber that there will be nothing decisive this weck at least, BIDS ON TORPEDO Light-Draft Terrors to He Con- structed for the New Navy.

ATS, Three REPRESENTED MILLIONS, Pecullar Foatures of u Petition P to the Senato Yestorday. Wasninaron, Oct, 17.—Henry Cabot Lodge, the literateur, political student and recent addition vo the senate from the great state of Muassachusetts, yesterday laid before that body a petition that was peculiar inmany respects. It was signed by pernaps 100 nam und aglance at them would con- vince any one that they were the names of eminently respectable citizens. One of the peculiar things about this peti- tion is the fact that the men whose uames were signed could easily produce a stringency In the monoy market if they were to afix them to blank checks. The petition must represent 100 of Boston's t, for their combined capital aggregates £350,000,000. The gentlemen potiticnea the senate to pass the unconditional repeal bill, to change the riles so as to prevent the ob- structive tactics, and urges them, after they had repealed the Shermun law, to enact such legislation as would, under proper re- striction, maintain the use of silver as a money metal. It is not often that a paper lard down before the senate of the brevity of this one represented so much of this world's woods.

This winter, when there is little else to do but talk politics, it will be time enough for the committee to get together and do something.

Weeks, the New York embezzler. It was expected that the president and cabinet would have rendered a decision by this time, but Presi- dent Roariguez is still ill, and this has caused a further postporement. Premier Iglesins called the cabinet meeting yester- day to hear the argument of Don Hernandez in opposition to and Dr. Sambranas in be- half of the Unitéd States. 1t was thought proper, however, that Rodriguez should ve present and the procecdings were continued until he is able to attend.
