e AT B THE OMAHA DAILY BER: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1895 followed, declared that Mr. FIill was morfly! threshing old straw. The present time was, he declared, inappropriate for such a resolu- tion, coming on the very heels of the mon- strous attack which the president had made upon the currency and credit of the United States in his bargain to sell our bonds abroad on such terms as_he had made with the Buropean bankers. This action he pronounced the most disastrous assault upon tho coun- try's financial system which had ever been made, and the worst feature of the wholo | wretched business, he said. with growing earnestness, “Is that the attack fs made by | the man who because of his position should | have stood the foremost in our defense. Our | nest has been befouled by the man who | should have stood for our credit.” Mr. Woleott eriticlsed the recent contract | made for the sale of the bonds in Burope. He did not belleve the bankers through | whom the deai nad been made would cvey | realize upon the advance more than 10 pet | cent of the amount of the bonds sold :n} account of the advance In their price. | Me had been aseured that in New York | alone 1121 had been tendered for $130,000,000 worth of bonds, and said he ad the author- fty of one of the leading bankers in New | York for the statement that within sixty | days the whole issue would bo worth 120. ho sald, speaking directly to the reso- tutfon and the desire expressed by it to up- hold our national credit, “there’were ever any men who were not entitled to consider. atlon, it fs the Rothschilds and the president, becaise they have sought to blacken our credit.” | He nsserted the resolution and specch of Mr. Hill were in the same direction as all other efforts mada to discredit silver, and then launched out into a defense of the silver advocates, declaring they did not advocats this course because they were unpatriotic or becanss o¢ selfish purposes, but because they would relicve the suffering in the country, and they did not believe this was possible of accomplishment until the double standard ghould be re-established. There conld be no prosperous times with wheat at 50 cents a bushel He referred to the proceedings in the Ger- man Relchstag of yesierday concerning silver as an indication that there was to be a change in the interest of silver, “We are working toward it,” he conciuded, “but it any act could serve to paralyze progress in that direction, it is the disgraceful and dishonor- ablo dicker of the president with the Rots- childs.” CONGRESS SHOULD DECLARE ITSELF. Mr. Lodge, republican of Massachusetts, gnid the substantial and important part of the resolution was the last half of it, de. claring the right of the holder to receive his vay in the best money. He would push all the other declarations of the resolution aside as immaterial and let this stand. He dld not regard it as necessary to define the question as to who was a bimetallist, or to pronounce for the parity of all kinds of money, as the latter decliration was already to bo found embodied in our statutes. The point was In neither of these dircctions, but in the sustenance of the credit of the coun- try. He believed that the holder of a goy- ernment bond should be able to ask for pay- o and in gold if that were the best, and he helleved that to be the position of the republican party. He agreed with Mr. Wolcott that the president had as- sailed the credit of the country, but as- serted that they had made the’ attick by his assault upon our coin bonds. For that reason, because of this attack, he thought that congress should declare itself without equivocation or reservation Reverting to the contract, he said that the profits allowed the European bankers ‘‘were enormous, gigantic,” and characterized the contract as the blackest ever made by an administration In dealing with American se- curities. But this fact, Mr. Lodge added, only ren- ders it more important that the government should make good its promis It was not a_question of bimetallism and of mono- metallism, but of the good faith of the coun- try. That credit had been impeached ond attacked by those who should have defended, and it therefore beliooved congress to come to the rescue. He hoped a vote would be reached not only on this resolution, but on the entire financial question, believing the country had a right to know whether the senate was a free coinage body or a body opposed to that policy. Mr. Stewart of Nevada opposed the Hill than those of Bgypt, and when he says that no senator can decently criticise the trans- action I want to eay that his idea and mine differ as to what decency s." Mr. Hill interrupted to repeat what he had said, whereupon Mr. Teller said: ‘““The sen- ator has a right to make any statement he soes fit”" To which Mr. Hill replied: ‘He mas no right to put words into my month that T did not utter.” GROUND FOR CHARGING DISHONESTY Continuing, Mr. Teller declared that as a senator he construed it 1o be his duty to pros tect the reputation and the interest of the United Stat and he declared he would not be frightened out of his policy of putting the bond transaction before the country in its true light. He declared {t was the most scandalous transactfon he had ever known nce his entry into public lite, and said: “It 1s the first time in the history of the admins istration's affairs the pecple have had ground for charging absolute dishonesty.” He sald however, that he did not charge that the president or the secretary of the treasury had profited pecuniarily by the transaction He could not, however, coneelve what had influencel their coure except noun due desire to acquirc authority for gold bonds. He thought that probably they had ‘aoped to frighten congress, Mr. Teller bitterly arraigned the president for dealing with foreign bankers. The price paid for these honds showed the bankers had a pledge that they would be paid in gold, and yet the administration gave the banking syndicate a bonus of 1 per cent to take the bonds. “There will be a breakiog down and breaking up of this condition of things,” declared Mr. Teller, sively, “and when that time comes e will have its innings."” wonld address the the financiai situation, The consideration of the agricnltural bill was then resumed. The committee amend ment for an inspection of live cattle, tie meat of which, fresh, salted, canned, packed ete., is to be exporied, was agreed to, The agricultural bill was laid aside with- out final action, and the senate, at 5:20, went into cxecutive sossion, after which it ad- Journed. senate on DEDATE ON NEW SHIPS. Naval Appropriation Bill Occupled the Day in the House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The house toda concluded the general debate on the naval appropriation bill. The increase of the navy authorized in the bill (consisting of threc battle ships and twelve torpedo boats), was supported by Messrs. Adams (rep.) of Penn sylvania, Milliken (rep) of Maine, Bartlett (dem.) of New York, Coombs (dem.) of New York, and Talbott (dem.) of Maryland, and was opposed by Mr. Washington (dem.) of Tenne The house agreed to the senate amend- ments for the sale of isolated tracts of pub- lic lands, reducing the minimum prices for such lands from $2.50 to §1.25 per acre. The twelve pension bills reported at last night's session, were passed, as was also a biil to place Warren C. Beach on the retired list as a_captain. The remainder of the day was devoted to eulogies on the life and char- acter of the late Senator Colquitt of Geor- Eela. The senate amendments to the joint resolu- tion suggesting arbitration for the settle- ment of the boundary line dispute between British Guinea and Venezuela was agreed to. The pension bills favorably reported from the committee of tho whole at last night's ion, twelve in numl cluding one tc increase the pension of neral Julins H. Stahl, Hungarian nobleman, were passed, after which the house went into com: mittee of the whole and resumed considera- tion of the naval appropriation bills. Mr. Washington, democrat of Tennessee, argued that it was bad policy for tha Ameri- can republic o attempt to construct and maintain an Immenze naval equipment. Mr. Adams, republican of Pennsylvania, re- prozched Mr. Washington for his sentimen He had never expected to hear them from the lips of a man bearing the name cf Washing- ton. If the Monroe doctrine was to be pre- served, a navy was absolutely essentlal, Mr. Bartlett, demccrat of New York, sprak- ing for the metropolis, appealed to his demo- resolution as a surrender of silver and as binding the gold fetters on the people. WERE SILVER MONOMETALLISTS. Mr. Hill was again on his feet as soon as Mr. Stewart closed. “At least this de- bate has cleared the atmosphere,” said Mr, Hill. “The true purpose of these professed friends of silver has been laid bare. It was that they intended to pay our government ob- ligations in_silver coin, no matter how de- graded, how depreciated that metal might be. It was for the purpose of sccuring this disclosure that the resolution was presented. It was brought forward to have senators disclose their policy and to present a differ- ent policy, To the fling of the senator from Colorado” that I am a bimetallist on a gold basis, T answer he is a bimetallist on a sil- ver basis. It was a mere play of words,” sald Mr. Hill. “Such men were not for bi- metallism at all; they were for silver, and silver only." o Mr. Hill turned to attacks being made on the president. It was not for him (Hill) to express approval of the contract with forcign bankers. But the president had not been free to act as he desired. He had been bound hand and foot by the present law. This democratic congress hud refused to help m. Mr. Gray of Delaware—Do you mean to say this senate s at present demoeratic? “No,” &aid Mr, Hill. “We no long'r have the majority, but while we had it we put off action and procrastinated unt'l power passed out of our hands, “The scnator from Colorado can arralgn this administration because it has contracted with the Rothschilds, but in this emergency where will you look for vast sums of money? ‘Will you get it from the miners of Colorado?" Mr.” Wolcott quickly responded: *No, not from the miners of Colorado, as they have been ruined by the legislat'on cf the senator from New York. But there were plenty of Amerlcans ready to take the bonds had they the chance.” Mr. Hill declared the only way to secure Buch a vast sum was in going to the money kings of the world. Republican administra- tlons had appealed to the Rothschilds, so it was useless to ralse a party cry against the administration’s course in go'ng o forelgn bankers. At this point Mr. Hill took a slip of pap=r from his table, SILVER AGITATION IN .GERMANY., “I have here an announcement that I have read with joy. It is an Associated press eable from Berlin announcing the Relchstag has dirccted the renewal of efforts to secure an_International monetary conference." Mr. Hill read the Assoc'ated press cable in detail and added: “I rejoice at this mews as much as the senator from Colorado; perhaps more. 1 sin. cerely belleve an international agreement is possible for bimetallism. This resolution | announcing the policy of this country for bimetall'sm would be the answer of the United States to the acticn of Germany.” Mr, HIill heped the response might go to Berlin today, and that the world might know the eredit of the United States was to be at all times maintained, At 2 o'clock the agricultural appropriation bill was taken up, but the financial senti- ment was too stroug to give way to agricul- ture, and Mr. Teller returned (o the Hill resclution. He eald it was the most remark- able paper he had ever seen. He would try to not go outside parliamentary usages. ‘This interest of the senator from New York for silver by offering a resolution for go'd showed his regard for bimetallism., Mr. Teller declared that for the last ninety days & prearranged effort had been made to put the country on a gold basfs; it could not get away from it. The senator from New York Ahad taken part in that effort. He declared this effort had been In the direction of cratic colleagues not to abandon the policy first advocated by Willam C. Whitney in 1885 when he was made secretary of the navy. Afler some further debate in favor of the Dill, Mr. Talbot, in charge of the bill, closed with a general argument adduced in favor of the increase of the navy. The senate bill was passed, granting two condemned cannon to the lowa Historical society at Des Molnes, The senate amendments to the postoffico appropriation bills were disagroed to, and the bill sent to conference. At 2 o'clock under a special order, further business of the house was suspended, and the remainder of the day was devoted to culogies on the life and public services of the late Senator Colquitt of Georgia. BUILDING SH1P'S LIKE OURS, Enzland and France Take the American Fast Cralsers as Moda's. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The British and French have taken alarm at the splendid per- formarce of cur (WO 1ew trip @ 8 rew eruisers, the Columbia and the Minneapolis. For a long time this great departure in naval en- gineering so successfully practiced by En- gineer-in-Chiet Melville, was looked upon with suspicion by foreign powers, and, in- deed, there were many critics in our own navy who predicted the failure of the vessels, but now all opposition seems to have disap- peared, and both Great Britain and France are about to pay us te compliment of build- ing vessels of this type and even endeavoring to Improve upon the orlginals. The British naval program for this year includes the con- struction of four improved Blenheims, the Blenheim belng a sister ship to the armored cruiser Blake, which teok part in our naval view In 18! The French naval authorit! o 2l0 about to build two “croiseurs cor- saire.” These are intended as answers to the American ‘‘pirates,”” as vessels of the Columbia_clags have come to be known, In spite of the efforts of the Navy department to prevent the names from sticking. The French vessels are to have triple screws, to be of a displacement of from 8,500 to 5,800 tons, with 26,000-horse power, which, it is estimated, will give them a speed of twenty- three knots, which is about the maximum attained by the American commerce destroy- ers. The British vessels will be smaller than the French craft, about twenty-six feet shorter and with 1,000 less horse power and the calculated speed of twenty-two knots, The British newspapers, however, are call- ing attention to the fact that this is a knot less speed than the American vessels, urging that it be increased, as the British craft can- not afford to be ouffeoted even if the foreign vessels are owned by a power with which Great Britain is never likely to be at war, COMMITIEE AFTER INFORMATION, What Funds telonging to Paciflc Roads Are Now in Treasury. WASHINGTON, Feb, 16.—~Mr. Caminetti of California today introduced a resolution in the house calling upon the secretary of the treasury, the attorney general and the com- missioner of railways for the following in- formation respecting Pacific railways: First, The amount now deposited in the United States treasury by varlous bond aided vailroads, with the accumulation ap- ble to the redemption of outstanding onds under the Thurman act Sccond, The amount now in the respect- ive funds of sall companies applicable to the payment of first and second mortsnges issued by sald companies, “Phird, “The amount due now from the United 'States to each of sald companies for the transportation of mails, troops, ete, Ifourth, The amount of the first and se putting gold to a premium. There had vir- tually been a conspiracy to this end, and with this accomplished ~the plan would be to require payment alone in that money. Indeed, as a matter of fact, gold was even Bow at a premium, for it bad appreciated when everything else had depreclated. Of course the silver dollar would depreciate with this discrimination against it. He de- :unoaldllll,c-n‘lh the assertion of interest maintaining the parity and paying “t best dollar.” ““The best dblhrp:rmy' wan 18" he asserted, “the dollar which it will take most sweat and blood to get.” Refer- Ting to Mr. Hill's professions of bimetallism, Mr. Teller said Mr. Hill would be welcomed to the ranks when be should show himself 10 be bonest'y in favor of bimetallism, “but," be added “if this resolution contains his sentiment, he will be of no assistance to us or to the world. Mr. Hill is noted for his courage, but it takes a higher degree cf courage than he has shown in anything else to stand out in deflance of a lransaction Which puts our securities at & lower rate ond mortgage bonds issued by said com- panies, payable in the years 1895 and 1596, with the date on which each installment was made payable, Fifth, I'rom what fund was the first in- stallment, due January 1, 15, on honds ia- sued by ihe Central Pacific railroad, paid by the United State Froubles ln the Church.

The recommendation of Secretary Gresham for an appropriation of $125,000 for the pay- ment of all claims by Great Britain growing out of the seizure of fur sealing vessels in Bering sca was called up in the committee for the first time, and the members declined to recommend any action upon It because they had not been able to look into the mat- ter sufficiently to take action upon it im- mediately. Mr. Breckinridge was authorized to offer an amendment in the house for the payment of these claims without any recom- mendation of the committee for or against it, and the members reserved the right to vote as they may se2 fit upon the question.

Interlor Depurtment Refers Lilis to Sur- veyor General Hughes of South Dakota. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The secretary of the interior has transferred fo the surveyor general of the state of South Dakota all applications for the contract for surveying the fractional town- ships between Nebraska and South Dakota, for recommendation as to the award. A survey of the Fort Randall military reservation in South Dakota is to be made, and as Nebraska has no surveyor general, it has been deemed wise by the Interior depart- ment to place in the hands of Hon. Richard B. Hughes, South Dakota's surveyor general, the duty of awarding the contract for the survey of the Nebraska fractional townships, which aro situated on the boundary line be- tween the two states, and adjacent to the Fort Randall reservation. It is expected that the recommendations of Surveyor Gen- eral Hughes will be received at the depart- ment in a short time. For fear that the contract for the survey of the fractional town- ships should be awarded (o the same bidder who gets the work for the reservation the Nebraska delegation today wired to Surveyor General Hughes at Huron, recommending the gward to Gumaer and Harvey of St. Paul, TREASURY CERTIFICATES, Tacked on as an Amendment to the Sundry Civll Appropriation Bill, WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The subcommit- tee of the senate committee, which has charge of tho sundry civil appropriation bill, con- cluded its labors late today and sent the bill to the public printer in order to have it ready for the full committee, which will meet Mon- day. The bill, as it will go to the full com- mittee, will contain an amendment providing for the issuance of time certificates of in- debtedness to the amount of $100,000,000, to draw 3 per cent interest, and to run for three years. It is distinctly understood that these are to be used only for the purpose of meet- ing the treasury deficit and are not to be of a character to be used as bank reserves, Thero {5 some difference of opinion in the full committee as to whether the secretary of the treasury has sufficiently indicated that the certificates are needed, but there is very little doubt the full committee will aceept the recommendation of the subcommittee, It is believed the full committee will dispose of the bill at one sitting. TO INVESTIGATE THE SEALS, Other Countries to Bo Invited to Kind Out What Can Bo Done. WASHINGTON, Feb, 16.—Important ac- tion upon the seal flsheries of the eBring sea was taken today by the house commit- tee on ways and means.

The president will be authorized to arrange a modus vivendl with these powers for the protection of the seals, until the report of the commission has been made and acted upon. The secretary of the treasury will be em- powered to take steps to kill the seals under the terms of the Dingley bill in case these nations refuse to join with the United States in an lnvestigatio Rumored Nunclature *urp d Satolil. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Mgr. Satolli was much surprised to hear from Rome that he would become nunclo at Lisbon prior to elevation to the cardinalate. There is no infor- mation at the delegate’s residence concern- ing the reported move, and it is regarded as general speculation. It is sald there is no vacancy in the nuncio lists, and no proba- bility of change there within the present year. Should the present nuncio be elevated 1o the cardinalate, it would not oceur before the next papal consistory, and the conferr- ing of the red hat would b2 at the subsequent information 'tat the nunclo will be thus ele- vated, but It We should, it is apparent that he would rétdin’ his present position for some time. 2 WHITE RIBBO < CONVENTION, Large Namber of Addresses Delivered at Yesterday's session.

C. Dodge of the Rio Grande Western was in= clined to take exception to General Passenger Agent Bennett's action in agreeing that the Unlon Pacific might give side trips from Ogden to Salt Lake on round trip and highest first class one way tickets, and that he had telegraphed Mr. Lomax that he woull not sign the Western Trunk Line mgreement with that provision Incorporated. When Mr. Lomax was shown the telegram he seemed dazed for a moment, then wanted to know what Colonel Dadge was alluding to. Tho reporter was not up in tne techniquo ot roflroad management, and so Informed Mr. Lomax. The general passonger agent of the Unfon Pacific, after a moment’s thought, said: “When the conferenco botween the transmis- sourd lines relative to the boyeott was ended. Mr. Caldwell asked me if there was anything clse the Union Pacific demanded. 1 informed im there was nothing. Then ho sald: *You are ready to slgn tue agreement? 1 told him the Union Pacific lad been ready to sign for the last six weeks, or six months, the moment the boycott was lifted. A circular lctter to all lines was then prepared and signed by the transmissouri lines, the Rio Grando Western 18 4 party to (he agreement. That cir- is now in the malls, and has been re- 1 by many roads before this, Upon the conclusion of the meeting@relative to the boycott 1 went over to the Rio Grande Western's oflice,where a long talk ensued as to Utah business, commissions that should bo paid for business for Saltalr ard Garfield Beach, and other incidents of the Utah situ- ation. The question of side trips came up and. I told Mr. Bennett the Union Pacific would do just exactly as the Rio Grande Western in the matter. If they would abandon stop overs we would cut off side trips. In a word, would bo guided entirely by what they did. This mat- ter does ot concern the assocfation in any way whatever. It s a matter betweon the Union Pactfic and Rio Grande Western purely. If the Rio Grande Western wants to go back on what was a fair proposition that is its business. We shall look to tho assoclation, of which we are members, for the necessary. protection, just as we would have tried to proe tect ourselves had we been outside the assos ation. “For twenty years the Union granted side trips to Salt Lake on tickets having a Limit suflicient to allow such a visit. We are not likely to cut it off now because the Rio Grande Western refuses to grant us tho equality we have insisted upon. There must be some mistake, however, for the tele- - 1 Dodge is ambiguous to say Pacific has At the meetirg of transmissouri lines in Denver the subject of rates for the National Bdiicational assoziation, July § to 12, was taken up, and after consideration it was decided to make a one fare rate plus §2 for the round trip to the Colorado capital, tickets to go on salo July 4, b, 6 and 7, with a final limit for return uctil September 1. The Colorado lines also made excacdingly low rates for side trips to all Colorado and Utah points of interest, and they are many, as folders of the several roads in CHIC, The Chicago passen- ger offices arc delightad with the missionary work of Chairman Caldwell in the west. Hig success with the Unfon Pacific and the Rio Grande Western, followed with His persuasion of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis, a lice which has never been persuaded be- fore, is gratifying to the members of the committee. It is believed mnow that the chafrman will bring the Missourl Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas into line and thereforo the committeo will be practically complete, providing that the Canadian Pacifie has not jumped the traces while the chair- man has been working in the west. s S5 S Drifted Out on an Ice Floe.
