SILVER'S LAST PLEA CONTINUED FROM PIRST PAGE. tary of the treasury o prosident was not 10 exercise those powers, It was the delo- | gated agent of congress, the secretary, who reported to congress direct, and not through the president. Mr. Butler—May I inquire if the secretary of the treasury has asked for the authority which the senator is claiming he ought to havet Mr. Sherman that. Mr. Butler—Tt must be a public matter. Mr. Sherman—1 do not think he asks for ft. Tcan say he does not ask 1t now Mr. Butler—That must be a matter of public record. 1f hoe has, certainly he should communicate it to congress. Wonld Be a Delicate Matter. Mr. Sherman—T do not know of any record that pertains to the subj 1should think 3t would bea very delicate matter for the secretary of the treasury to attempt to originate the idea when the congress of the United States is the proper place for Mr. Tellor—Would there be any priety. it the secrotary thought it necessary to sell bonds, on his part to address a com- munication to congress on the subjectt Mr. Sherman--No, Mr. Teller—Would it not be the proper thing to do so if he thought he ought to sell bonds? Mr. Sherman—The secretary never vol unteers advice, The senator may sccure his opinion by a simple resolution. Mr. Teller —If there is a deficiency in the revenues now, and likely to be in the future, I ask the senator whether that is not a proper subject for the president of the United States to address congress on under the constitutional provisions that he shall inform congress as to the condition of tfie country, ete. I would not like to answer | impro: How it Might Be Done. Mr. Sherman—That has been dono: haps the senator overlooked it. It has been done by the finance committee calling on the secretary of the treasury as to the nature of the de , how much it is, ete. My. ' What I asked was whether the president could not, under the exercise of the power conferred on him by the consti- tution, to keep coneress advised as to the condition of the country, make such a com- munication? My, Sherman—Undoubtedly he could; but the senotor, who has been a cabinet officer, is probably aware of the fact that all ques: tions of finance are dealt directly with by the secretary of the ireasury. Idon't recall a single instance in which the president ad dressed congress, except in his annual mes. upon a financial questron, . Blackburn repeated his question as to whether the late attorney general had not rendered a decision that power to sell bonds existed, and added that the matter had gone o far that plates were engraved from which the bonds should be produced. He asked Mr. Sherman if he did not know that was s “1 do not,” replied Mr. Sherman. Had Not Been Consulted. M. Blackburn—I say I donot. T will ask whether the senator from Ohio was not consulted at the time on that subject? i Mr. Shierman—I was not. | Mr. Blackburn—I will say to the senator that a subpeena, duces tecum, served upon the superintendent of the bureau of engrav- ing and printing will briag these plates to | this chamber within an hour. Mr. Sherman—1 should thivk the com- mittee on finance would be glad to see them Mr. Shermau continued his remarks and sent up to the desk and had read a proposi- tion which he favored providing for the sale of bonds. The proposition was as follows: ‘That to enable the secrotary of the treasury to maintain parity of all forms of currency colned or issued by tho United States and to strongthen nnd maintain the resorve in the treasury, authorized und required by the act entitled. "An Act to Provide for the Resump- tion of Specie Payments,” the secretiry of the treasury s authorized (0 fssue from time to time, a8 required for such purposes, in a sum | not exceeding in the agg o $200,000,- | 000, coupon or r bonds of the' Unite form as he may preseribe and of denor 15 of $50, or smie. multiple of thut sum, redesmable’ in | oin of the present standaid value at the pleasure of tho United States after three yeurs from date of th pryable se ¥ate of 4 p and the in the per- y In such coin at the The snid bonds st tnercon shall bo exempt from payment of all taxes or dutles of the d¥tates, as well as from tn by or under state, wunicipal or local liority, nnd the siid bonds shull huve set ‘expressed upon their face the above specified conditions shull with their coupons bo aygble at the treasury of the United N 1w proceeds of such bonds shull be used for the purposes defined in this fon and none other t Not Need to Use the Bonds, Mr. Sherman expressed the hope that the senators in the majority would make son.e such provision s the one he had read. He feared that ina little while the people would find that by the repeal of the purchasing clause of ‘the Sherman act the root of the evil nad not been removed. The sccretary of the treasury probably would not find it necessary to use the power to sell bonds for more than $0,000,000, Mr. Gorman, democrat, of Maryland fol lowed Mr. Sherman. Commenting on My Sherman’s speach ho suid: *Lam surprised that he should bring in party questions und attempt to take party advantage of delays or mistakes. Or.if there have been mistakes now in tho closing hours of this great struggle, that that distinguished leader should tell us and tell the country that the measure 1tself will be impoteat, thav it eliminates silver or its furthier use from the moment." Mr. Sherman—I spoke strongly 1n favor of the use of silver to the largest possible ex- tent. Mr. Gorman—If I have misunderstood the senator, all on this side of the chamber teem to huve shared with me in misundersiandiag him—that the passage of the act would not give the relief to the country that the coun- try expected? Now, do 1 misrepresent the senator? Mr. Sherman—[ said it mightnot meet the expectations of the people. Pledged to Kopoal. Mr. Gorman—If I understood the position of the democratic party in the begiuning of this controversy, it was that we plodwed on: s to the ropeal of the Shermun luw, A Senator—No; i part of it. Mr. Gorman—No sir; the wh law. 1do not think 1 am mistaken when 1 say that the distinguished senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher. man) in an intervies in his own state de. nounced the repeal of the entire Sherman law and stated that he would favor the re- peal of the purchasing clause only. The presidentof the United States, anxious and earnest in his desire for its re , knew that he had not the power in his own part; or with his own party, to repeal any portion of that law, because” the aivision is sharp aud neither party would have the power to deal with this question and secure the re- peal and he was compelled to take the tern offered by the senutor from Ohio (Mr, Sher- man). And, then, when cong met the perfect knowledge on the part of every in telligent man in the union that this party was helplessly divided upon this question, &8 your party is hopelessly aivided, it may bo said with truth that a lavge majovity democrats were agaiust the unconditional r 1 of the purchasing clause of the Sherman w. It was known that you had thirteen o fifteen republicans opnosed to upconditional repeal. It was believed, and I think itisa fact easily vroven and plain to everybody, ation of any shat a clear majority of all the sconators elected was not in favor of unconditional re- peal, but wanted some modification. Thoso ©of us who intended to vote for its tinal pas- sage believed that we were in the minority the delay of weeks became necessary that we may convert enough to our side to pass the bill. Expresscd » Doubr, ““When the debate,” said Mr. Gorman, ‘'be- came aharp, & doubt was expressed as Lo the power of tho senate to pass the bill. 1 do Dot mean Lhe power Lo reacn a vote, but the power Lo puss uncouditioun) repeal by & ma- jority. 1o the very wmidst of the fight, in \he Very hottest of it, the first note of wa ng that we heard publicly uttered came from U seuator from Ohio, the senator who led mnrc than half of the repeal clamor, that it was TH E with Mr. Sherman, published in the Cincin- nati Enquirer, October 5, 183, in which he was quoted as saying that he dia not believe it would be repealed. “T desire to add only this” snid Mr. Sherman, “1 believe the bill wouid not have passed but for the abortive attempt to com- promise, which, falling through, left noth- ing to do but to pass it. However, that is a matter between ourselves.” Mr. Gorman—October 4 is the date of this interview. The semator from Ohio knew perfectly, as every other man in the country knew, that he was laying down a condition to the democratic party to unite. He knew that that wi impossible as it was to fly, unless it meant an extension of the purchase of silver to some future period. Ife knew another thing that measure which would be satisractory to the people of whom the senator from Ohio speaks and for whom I speak. Sharp as the division was upon any par. ticulur mensure on this side, there was not a democrat who voted with the desire to har- monize his party; to sustain the only demo- cratic administration we have had; to make sacrifices of opinion: 1o set aside their con- sictions of a lifetime and unite in doing something which would relieve the business ross and save the administration, They tried to wo thither; they tried to do what was rieht. With the difference of views upon this finan- cial question between tho east and the west the north and the south, it was impossible we call in the eastern states & sound financial bill with bonds, unless we had your co-operation and the co-operation of those on that side who thought with us, and when you placed the conditions upon the demo rty, a8 you had the power to do, yielding the key of the situation with your twenty-five or twenty-six votes, you forced us into & position to take a step unusual to custom of the senate. They tried to do what was right. There were many of them, and I share that convi tion of those who thought it was extraordi- nary, umusual and unfortunate to strike down summarily, and without an hour's i ng, a gr interest that had been built up possible by law, no wat- ter now b \ W8 were them- selves. Their detiberations could not have 1 carried to a consummation: with the bonc which tie senator from Ohio speals Compromise was Possible, 1do ot complain of him for making any suggestion as 10 bonds, excent as to the time and manner of doing it, for I, from the begin- ning, not of this congress but of the last, under Mr. Havris dministration, be- lieved with the extr 1t appropriations that had been made, with the growth of ecach expenditure for' pensions and other: wise that could not be eliminated, that thero was ,uot revenue enough to pay the current expenses of the goverament under the present laws. If there had been le partisanship in this chamber when it came to consider a proposition that ecould prac- ically have united this idea, if there had N0 partisanship in this chamber, bad a respouse from the senator from Obio and those who associated with him politicaily, we could have vassed # oill repealing the purchasing clause ot the Sherman law—and it is a matter consequence whether it took effect tom: or the next day—and have strengthened the treasury by giving the secretary the power 1o use £200,000,000 of gold. ot here to violate a confidence that has been given to but I can say with propriety that there is scarcely one of us who in the very heat of this controversy had not been most” anxious to make @ suggestion and look to a better bill than the one we now have. That has passed Postclin of the Republicans. Mr. Sherman—I am quite sure that if our friends on the other side had made any such proposition as the senator now mentions, authoiizing the coinage of what is called the seigniorage and providing also for the main- tenance of all sums of money at par with 1 other nud. back of that, the authority o sell £200,000,000 of bonds, their proposition would probablv liave been able to this side. But I understood our friends on the otner side declified to agrbe to any proposition tuat contained authority to issue bonds. 1 think that was the general under- stanaing on this side. 1would not to relieve my- or any other purpose in the world, violate the confidences or repeat conversa: tions that have occurred, but I have the right to say that it would' be most unfortu- nate if we were not understood to we lout any trouble. Probably it isest thing that this. bill as it came from the com- be further trouble with our financial affairs everybody who has watched the operations of the treasury must know. Mr. Presid . we have come into power and we have inherited a load of sin and iniquity, piled on us by another party; the treasury bankrupt, as the senator from Ohio says, it was bunkruot when we accepted 1it. Who is responsible for iv?"” ponsibility for Appropriations. Mr. Shermun remarked that the last house of representatives was strongly democratic, and that ail_appropriations for the support of tho government originated there. He thought that both parties shared in the re- spousibility for excess of appropriations. The question recurred on Mr. Perkin's amendment, and by a vote of yeas 30 and nays 41 the senate rejectea it. Mr. Berry offered an amendment providing for the revival of the Bland-Allison act and spoko in its Support. Mr. Voorhees said at this late hour, how- ever much he might approve such a proposi- uion, he would not, feel at liberty to support it in councetion with this bill, My, Havris, democrat, of Tennessee—If the senator from_Indiana should her report any one of these vropositions wh he can aprove today, his ailies over there on the other side will have gone. Mr. Voorhees' Personal Stand, “You all admit that this is a pernicious law,” Mr. Voorhees proceeded. *‘All that I have undertaken to do 18 to clear the deck for action. The opportunity ‘will be given for freer, fawrer, more deliberate action on propositions embodied in amendments than wo have in connection with this bill. The senator from Ohio announced here today that I had opposed an amendment when ho had contcmplated authorizing ihe issue of wovernmtent bonds. 1 did. for the son v 1 am opposed to all amend- ments to this bill. I have not felt myself at liberty to volunteer measures of relief for the treasury until I should be notified that the treasury needs assistance. I believe that the enactment of 1875 gives authority to the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds and the secretary of the treasury be- lieves the same thing himselt,” Mr. Voorhees said he hoped to ha at2o'clock on Monday, and certainly not later than 4 o'clock, on the bill. Itisin- teudend t hold a continuous session on Monday till the vote is had. Votlng on Amendments, Mr. Berry's motion for the restoration of the Blaud-Allison measure was defeated by avole of 30 ayes to 57 nays—the highests vote any amendinent receivea, Mr. Allen’s s mendment for the free coin- age of silver at a ratio of 16 Lo 1 was rejected as, 41 nays. .

YA DAY, OUTOBER 29, SU 1893—TW FN'I’Y PAGES. ONLY A QL‘FSTIO\ OF FUNDS Material Secured for the Construction of Omaba's Federal Building, WHY THE CONTRACT WAS NOT AWARDED Genérally Underatood that the Funds Ap- propriated Have Ween Diverted to Other Channels by the Denmo- cratic Administration, 3 FOURTEENTH STRERT, WasiiNatoN, Oct. 29, Mr. Drexel of Omaha, who was the lowest bidder on the superstructure of the new federal building in that city, is expected to arrive in Washington within a couple of day He comes, it is stated, with the understanding that an award of contract will be immediately made, Itis svated that Mr. Drexel can furnish Colorado granite and that material will be used. There are well grounded fears, how- ever, that there will be considerable delay in awarding the contract, as it is believed the money appropriated for the 4Omaha federal building has been used for other pur- poses and that all of the deiay which has been occasioned in awarding the contract is due to the inability of the Treasury depart- ment to set aside the money with which to pay the contractors. in his great silver repeal speech today Senator Sherman wade a broad intimation to this point. He said the secretury of the treasury had giverted money from its in- tended course in his efforts to meet promptly the obligations of the government. 'Those who heard Senator Sherman say he meant that monoy appropriated for federal build- ings and other public improvements had not been set aside, as custom demanded, but had been nsed for current obligations as they were presented for payment. 1f an award of contract is not made while M. Drexel is in Washington suspicion will strongly point toa diversion of the money which was by thelast cougress appropriated for that purpose. Manderson Bill Passed. At last the Manderson bill, extending the act of March 3, 1801, relating ' to the great Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota. over that portion of the reservation lyir within Nebraska, has passea both branches of congress and will become a law. Senator Marnderson saw an opportunity and ealled it in the senate and secured its adoption. his is the neasure which passed the house on the 12th inst. upon motion of Representa- tive Meiklejohn, who was severely censured by Representative Kem for lis “inter ence,” \g secured the adoption of the bill during the absence of the latter. It will be recalled that Mr. Kem claimed the authorship of the measure, and regarded the action of Mr. Meiklejohn in_securing action upon it by the house as “‘unbecoming a high-minded gentleman,” or words to that nator Manderson will no doubt be sed by Mr. Kem for having pushed the o through. The measure was orig wnally introduced by Senator Manderson in the last congress, and _has been referred to all along in both houses as the Manderson bill. It will likely be signed by President Cleve land next week. 1t is an amendment to se tion 231 of the Revised Statutes, which was an act entitled “An Acy to Repeal the Ti ber Culture Law and for € Purposes, and simply extends the provision of the stat- ute 50 as to apply to lands on the Sioux reservation in Nebraska as well as South Dakota.

The admiral gave in exchange therefor a re- ceipt for the flour, but this did not appear to be satisfuctory to the shippers, They thereupon wroto to the Department of State, not for the purpose of asking that the regu- lar government of Brazil be asked to puy for the flour, but to have the department see it some more satisfactory evidence of liubility might be had. ‘The reply informed the par- ties interested that it was not practicable for the goverument to interfere in such a case.
