Washington-. Sept. . There whs n feature in the senate debate on the repeal bill in which Voorhees displayed not a little temper ia a colloquy with Hale and a feature in the senate is hailed w ith sat isfaction by readers of congressional news. The first speech on the repeal was made by Faulkner, who while willing to go a long way with the president was uu will ing to vuts for repeal without a provision for the coinage of from C00.000 to 800,000 silrer dollars of the "daddy" kind. Then Turpie took the floor and gave his view of the way to solve the problem. He gave the history of money for the last 4X years, to begin witif Turin" for He venue Only. He wanted silver demonetized and said: "We are about to approach Bn era of com mercial liberty unknown to ns for a gen . eration. An era in which commerce with all nations (save for the necessary im ports laid upon it for revenue) will be free s the ocean which bears it. The restora tion of the silver dollar the remonetiza tion of silver will I great reforms, but how shall these compare with the restitu tion of freedom of the ballot? That free dom has been assailed. M.llions of dol lars at e-ery presidential election extorted from the people by unjust taxation have been expended to debauch and destroy the franchise. This maleflicient dynasty of fraud and force is now entering lue valley of death's shadow. It is soon to be de throned." Voorhees Asks for a Vote. Jones of Arkansas spoke against the re peal bill and would resist its passage as long as possible unless it were coupled with a free silver provision. After he vas ! through, no one arising to speak, Voorhees ' eaia he hoped the senate would not adjourn early, and if no sen itor wanted to speak he would ask for a vote on the repeal bill. Hale hoped that the senator from Indi ana would not consent to an immediate adjournment. The senator, Hfter having given up the 11 o'clock proposition, found himself also in danger of losing the full morning hour. He therefore called his at tention to the fact that he was being cut down to a very slender thread of time to be consumed in specchmnking on the hill. Hale Trie to Hurry Voorhee. There hail been no attempt to cut ofl debate, but the time for debate had been cut down uncil instead of five or six hours there was only three or four. The senate had been in session for six weeks entirely on this bill ami be suggested that the sittings should be lengthened. He knew the senator from Indiana did not enjoy the delay, and a liirpe majority of senators bad upheld his hnnds. The Republicans had made few speeches nnd were ready to Tote and urging thnt action. He did not desire to have the senator from Indiana crowd and force matters in an offensive way; but he did ask him to hold the sen ate to whnt hnd been always its rule and to see to it that debate should not be so spread out and attenuated until every current of action was turned away and came to nothing. Who la Impatient and Angry. Voorhees who hnd listened to these re marks with unconcealed impatience and anger rose to reply to them. He said that the zeal of the senator from Maine had been manifested very early in the ses sion. His desire to ntsist the senator from Indiana was deeply appreciated. It would be more appreciated, however, if the sena tor from Maine had been in his seat more than one of the six weeks of the session. He desired to say to that senator and to all concerned that the senator from Indi ana expected to discharge his dutv n h understood it, and in a way for which he ' would answer to the country. "The sena- tot irom .Maine Has taken a monopoly of direction, of lecturing, of dictation (if 1 may use such a term).". COMPLAINS OF BEING "NAGGED." And Concludes That Forbearance Has Ceased to lie Virtue. A Democratic senator suggested "nag gins" and Voorhees adopted it. "Xagging," he repeated, "yes. The whole country knows that the senator from Indiana occupies a trying position. I have been hurried by the senator from Maine to an extent which strains the limits of forbearance. He wanted action the next day after the president's message was read. He wanted the finance commit tee to report a bill next day and to bring It to an immediate vote. That was an utter impossibility an absurdity and the senator knew it. The 'tirade is for no other purpose than to advertise to the public that there is a keen desire for action on that side of tbe chamber and ior ueiay on tuis siue. "The senator from Maine used the.terms drive,' 'domineer,' 'control.' It is known that these words do not pertain to this place. The word 'control has no mean- iuB bo ir t me action ol tins great body is concerned. The term 'drive' is as dis placeb and offensive as possible. The term 'domineer' is still more so. We nre a sen ate of equals; and I propose to treat every enntor as my peer on this floor, giving him his entire rights; and at the end of proper discussion 1 shall exjiect every sen ator to recognize the propriety of censing discussing and proceeding to a vote." Hule disclaimed any intention of giving offense to the senator from Indiana. He did not really think that thnt senator felt the indignnri n which he m iinifested. It was only in the interest of helping him that )io liml n:mle tlj' nt'iest inn A ll . .! . Latest U. S. Gov't Report. "I have had quite ft snrrelt of that kind of help from that soutce," Voorhoes ex claimed angrily. "I cannot le accountable for the sena tor's feelings," Hale retorted.

"Let the senator," sai 1 Voorhees angri ly, "please led. some other subject fur discussion ti.e next time he talks about my management of this bill." "I think," Hale replud, "that the sen ator is doing tiie bt-st be knows how doing it faithfully anil ably." 'I cannot return the compliment." Voor hees snapped bacR. "I cunnot say t hat the senator front Maine is doing the best he can: if lie were, he will t ike his seat." '"That, of course, is an easy jibe," said Hale, "and miy senato- can at any time make it upon another. B it t tic time has not come when a senator on this side oft lie chamber cannot rise in i he public inte: est and express himself fre ly without being sneered down by attacks like tiiat of the senator from Indiana. I spoke not only for myself, but for other Republican sen ators; and no such attach shall prevent us when we see fit, to speak, and speak freely, and not be subjected to r )torts of the kind which the senator from Indiana has made, and which be will not U- proud of tomor row." Voorhees I will take care of myself when other senators may desire to a.-sail ine. And now I desire zo gay a word fo the public. Anxious as I am to press this matter to a vote and having pressed it to the utmost limit until I thought I had strained the boundaries jf patirnce, and until in deference to the wishes of sena tors I withdrew the resolution for the 11 o'clock session (which I would have been glad to have had adopted , it is some con solation to my mind that the public busi ness of the country is discounting the pass ge of this bill. Prosperity is reviv ing. The times are not o stri.ined not so hard since the house has'passed t bis bill. Dubois said that Hale f id not repre-ent all the Republican senators, and Hale ;i d he had only spoken for repeal Hepuh-w-ans. Teller a-id he wo lid speak todiiy as long as the senate would care to sit, and the incident closed. t;-. The Fresldent Make Diplomats. Washington-, Sept. 9.

Akkansas Citt, Kah., Sept. 9. Rev. L N. Merriweather, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, announces that he has perfected an organization for a Social istic colony to be established in the Chei okee strip. In a proclamation "To the citizens of Ame.ica and the Strip boom ers," he says that "au organization has been perfected for the free and certain set tlement and maintenance of every home less, honest person. Twenty eligible claim takers have banded together to hold their lands in common and to build factories which will employ from 10,000 to 50,000 colonists of good moral character. "This plan is formed from a Christian model and principle. It is no lalse money getting swindle. Every one who will stand by the enterprise will be given an equal share in the homes, employment and edu cation of this commune, whether he suc ceeds in getting it claim or not. No fees and no self-seeking. Good backing, ideal principles, liberty, fraternity, equality." Merriweather lieclines to give particu lars of his plans, but announces that he will enlighten the public on all salient points from his pulpit Sunday night when his theme will be "Christianity for the strip and the world." NOT WARRANTED BY LAW. The reparations That Have Keen Made on the "Strip" Border. AliKANSAS ClTr. Kas., Sept. 9. The secretary of the interior has discovered too late for the in ormation to be of practical value that the arrangements for a grand rush are without warraut of law. Com missioner Lamoreaux, in a letter to a citizen of this city, admits that the pre emption laws aie all repealed and that entries should lie made under the home stead laws only. These laws provide for entry at the land ollice, the homesteader not being required to see his land for six months. While the department still adheres to the elaborate and complicated system of registering liooths and agencies for the detection of sooners the officers here now from Washington practically admit their uselessness and folly. Special Agent Wo mack severe'y criticises the action of his superior ollicers, including Secretary Smith, for the manner in which this open ing has lieen conducted and for the "will ful iifnorance" displayed by them in the issuance of orders. A Parade of the Roomer. There was a demonstration here today snch as is only seen once in a lifetime. It was a parade of all the boomers who in tend to enter the strip from this point on horseback. The procession was nearly five miles long. One feature was fifty Ken tuck ians on their thoroughbreds. Ontrajre at a Hoomer's Camp. WirniTA, Kan., Sept. 9. The boomers' camp at Hunnewell is in a turmoil of ex citement over the killing there of four fine race horses and the ham-stringing of seven others. The outrage is charged to a gang of shiftless boomers who have nothing of their own and claim that no one has a right to the advantnge which possession of a fast horse will prove in the race for land. POPULISTS AND "PROTECTIVES." The Anti-llomish Society Refused In rorporallon in Kansas. Toi'EKA. Kan., Sept. 9. Application has been made to the secretary of state for a charter for the 'Protective Association of the State of Kansas." an nnti-Iloman Cath olic organization the object of which is "to protect our country and its free institu tions against the secret, intolerant, and ag gressive efforts that are persistently being made by certain religious political organ izations to control the government of the United States and destroy our blood bought civil and religious liberty; to main tain our free public school system, and oppose the union of church aud state." It is probable that a charter may not be granted. At least Secretary of State Os borne announces that he will not author ize the existence of such an incorporation until he is compelled to by the courts or advised to do so by proper legal authority. He said that he .did not believe there was a law authorizing the incorporation of such Bn association. Further than that he de clined to give his reasons for refusing to issue a charter. It is common report in the state house that the Populists regard the application as a scheme to involve them in the religious controversy. Kb! Sh! Don't Say a Word. New YoliK, Sept. 9.
