THE DERATE ?N DETAIL.
Tiae debate was opened hy Mr Teller, who said
he would permit no man to ox-el him In honor
)r in arood faith. "I would do nothing." he Bald,
tl it wou.'i hrlng about 888X8)8 * .onU?on of nf
'?!??? as would he disgraceful, whatever ths opinion
?f thn Senator from Maj>?**h?i?etts iMr Hoar? may
ie of my opin''.ns or oonvt"tlo-',s. The Mn?sachn
ie?'s Senator tried to make It appear that my po?
litl?n was on a palWll?! wl*h the making Of a ten
loilar piece out of a copp?>r cent. Rich a proposi?
ten I do not advance and I do not think It would
ind much support In this or any other L?gislative
?>o1v " Mr TV'ler said he would be willing to re?
lire from public life if by co doln?- he could bring
tbotit an lat?rn?tlonal bimetallic agreement He
?nalntained that the existing ?-ontraot eono?rntng

ver? payable could not be changed without nclon
>f Congress OI1B 0f ^..e par;l<-s to the contrat?
tnd that the Government had a right to all the
?Jvantag??? the contract afforded.
Mr Fa'.rriar.k? asked Mr. Tiller whether the
*ir????nt Secretary of the Treasury was now p.'.y
ng out gold In ?'guida''*?!! of the bonded obilga
Jors of the ?.?oveminent.
"I don"t know."' replied Mr Teller, "what the
Secretary of the Tr?asury Is doing. My relation?
a-l'h the pre??M,t Artmlr.lstraiion nr? not s'ich as
to ?r.'ib'.e me to obtain Information of its arts "
Being further presse? hy Mr. Fairbanks. Mr.
Teuer eta ??I his belief was tha! the Administration
??as paying the Interest on coin Obligation? of the
3overnment. no such chilgatlons themselves hav
r.g matur??d. !n gold
"I have absolut? lnforr-.atlon," retorted Mr. Fair?
banks, "that th?. Administration Is paying the
sbllgations 1 refer !o in legal-tender note*. On
Isnuarr 1. $'.*!) Oo".ta??> of bon.is matured, and I am
:nformed by the t><, r.-iary of the Treasury that
the?e bords were paid, not In gold not In silver,
but in legal-tender notes."
"Tf that he so." ?aid Mr. Teller, "we might as
well discontinue this d.-bn-e and *ake a vote upon
the pending resolution now." The point had h.-en
reached, though*. Mr. Tel'rr. wh??n the effort was
being made by the Adminl?nriit!on to put the
country on a gold bas's. He thought theft had
heen too much sophistry ?nd evasion on the flr.an
i-lr.l question among those who had dlc-u??.,? |t
in the last twenty years, and. in hi? opinion, the
time had arrived for nil parties ?o walk squarely
up to the cannon'F mouth of the Question and deaJ
fairly and honeptly with th"m?elve? and the
people
BONDS SOLD TO MEKT A PKFK^IT
In response to a statement by Mr. Teller that
t2?"J.(?>*a.C?i"??'" of bonds were sold for the purpose of '
maintaining the gold standard, Mr. Gear said that
It was well known that more than t?".>f"?.?v>0.<>X? of
tho??e bonds were sold to meet a deficit in the
Treasury.
This statement waa flatly contradicted by the
""clorado fier.ator, who maintained that there ?m
ao necessity for ?he sal? of hor.ds to meet current
?pen?*??, When there was ptsnty of silver to m?.et
>res?lng oMlg?t!ons of the Government Referring
lo the Presidentlii' contort of 1898*, Mr. Teiler said
that no political campaign 1r. this country hnd
?jver been characterized hy so much bitterness,
ictimony and vlrr'.-tl venes? II? conceded the
right, he said, of others, to differ from him on this
ind other questions, hut he h?)d he ought to ha\?

af this ountry but of the world, depended on the
rightful solution of tne financial question Ha ! .ad
k right to spenk here for th? st^at masase of the
people, and he took advaatag? of It Uiauee he
felt that the fastening of the gold standard on the
country would ?Imply make of the plain people
h?wer? of wood and drawers of water. In con?

Mr. Teller replied te some atatementB mad? yes

A QUESTION OF INTEGRITY
Mr Hour followed In a ?poecfa la which h* main
tain?d ti?e poalttoB bo took yaeterdsvy, that the
Question under ?Jls? u?slon wa* not one of law. but
one of honor and Integrity. He said tiiat the advo?
cate? of the petldlBl reeolutlon maintained that by
e. crime the price of ?llv,r had been reduced until
tbe ?liver In a dollar wa? worth only M rent?, yet
the ?ame Senators who mad?j the charge of that
"crime" advocated the piiyment of the Govern?
ment? obligation? in thi? depreciated money
rnor.ey that h?d be?-.n depreciated, as they ?aid, by

<Jent by th?: statement? of f*>nator l??-rry ti.whom
he referr?-d as an "honest, italwari old Cotiftsd
era'o who was willing to walk up to th? cannon'?

purpose of the ?.fiver men to go into th?? campa.syi

Mr. Hoar ?aid expressed a desir? to resent ?orne

?j.1 r. Teller roa.? to ??all Mr Hoar's attention to

In the .-ourse of his ran,ark? Mr H?ar referred
Incidentally lo the pretext Industrial situation hi

and wOTOgtotV of the jdousi r?alpr'-.ar.'-rity of Soijib
Caro?ne, a bama and Oitorgia, bul b?j did hold

not known in New-England, where limited iiours

laws would be welcomed by New-England, "Our
policy." ??it.i Mr Hoar, "Is not bounded by Slat?,
lines. We are New-Knclnnd men bul we are above
i.ll Americans "
IT MEANS FREE CHINA?".!".
Mr Hoar shortly aftrrward conclude.1. II? was
foil,.we | ?,\ Mr. I'latt, of I'onmvil.-'it, In opposition
to th? -?ending resolution. Mr. Platl nail that he
had been endeavoring since the opening of the de?
bate to a?.-art.un what the purpose of the a dvo.nte?
ol the pendln? resolution ?vas in Bjrresslng it, but he
had ;>eeu unable t.? do bo "Unless it me.m-- some?
thing more now." s..t?| Mr. Plstt, "than II meant
?? ij years ago, there 1?- absolutely no ri ison for
Its paassge. it u old and mouldy it Bd no force
or effe, ; in ?aw |n !?;?., and it would have no fore?.
or effe.-t now If this resolution mean? anything
i? nie.-m? th? free and unlimited coinage .1* ?liver.
If that is ?o. with our ?M.OM.OCW dollar? of ?il\?>r al

?..?.??-?it a resolution de daring I! to be the e<
of thl? Q vernanenl thai it should embark
unan th.- free and unl'tnited coinage of silver, If
? e country is to be told that tbl? Benete la In favor
of th? free and unlimited colnac.' of silv?ir, provided
tin? resolution pa?ses, it i? not fair that the pr . ?
ihould he presented in this form < ? 3.1- Demo?
cratic friends ought to present a free-coinage rtSO?
I lion and pin their f?fth to It. I do not believe,
' auch a resolution could pas? thl? bod?,."
Mr. I'latt declare,-! that it was the purpose of the
: advocates of th* r?solu!ion to override the ?olemn
declaration of Cotogree? thai th? parity of gold and
silver coins should he maintained.
"The Senator from Nevada i.Mr. Rfw.ir'i talk?
about trouble and misery Binon, th? people," sri'1
' Mr. riatt. ''ait when this Government has. accord?
ing to the advocates of the pendl'ig resolution, been
given two messurea of ralue?measure? :>:ar mean
two tilings the misery and trouble we now have
wiil he as nothing compared with what they will
then be. Buch a condition would ho worse than
pestilence and famine combined."
Mr Plstt said thai if he could believe tha? thi?
country could coin silver freely without destroying
the debt-paying power of silver, h? would be glad
to enter upon ttint policy. H? could not. however,
??ntert.ilrt the possibility of such a policy.
In the courss of a brief rallMuy ii?t?-??n Mr.
Flau Bnd Messrs. Allen and Tlllman. Mr. Platl
Bald tills oountry now had bimetallism. To Gils
Mr Chandler took exeeptlen, saying that my
detinltion of bimetallism which omitted the free
coinage of both metals at a ratio Sited by law was
noi only Incorrect but obsolete.
Mr Platl thought Mr Chatuller was endeavoring
to amend S definition wht?*h had stool for a hun?
dred years. Bimetallism, he held, meant simply
the us? oi two metals at a Used ratio a.? money,
and did not contemplate the free and unlimited
coinage of both, He .hallenged Mr. Chandler to
produec any recognised authority which Included |
</re? coinage in the definition of bimetallism.
AN APPFAT. FOR ?VM'NO FINANCE
Mr. Platl mnintni ted that It might not In the
estimation of silver adv?cate? make much diff?r?
as*?*? whether the millionaire received payment of a
. debt owed li::n or DOt; hit be wanted to call nt- 1

Whatever Is meted out to the bondholder will al'o
he meted out to ?he soldier Mr. l'lntt Closed

financial system.

Mr. Hoar replied that if such redemption wer?

Washington. Jan W (Special).-The diversities of
opinion among Republican membera of the Com?
mittee on T'.inklnc and Currency on the subject of
currency f-form legislation are so marked and
each menilxr not only advocates his own views
with so much energy, bul crltli I* ? BO sharply those
of other m?-mb?rp. that it 1ms been de. '..led to hold
n series of privale oonferencea and try to fln-1 a
b.als of agreement and frame a measure whli h a
majority of th? committee nt least will support.
This firi?rmination was reached at the meeting of
the ?-ommlttee this morning, when it was quickly
discovered thai dlffewncea existed wht-h emild not
bo easily composed, nnd Mr. .lohnson. of Indiana,
thereupon withdrew hin motion thnt each num?

to defeat a n.otlon offered by Mr. ?'ox. of Ten?

by Messrs Warner ?nd Tow-nr-, of the B'.metallii
League, bo m.'ide a part of the printed record of
the ccmmif.ee.
As soon as the Democratic membera had retired
The door was locked, and the first se.-ret sesslor. of
the Republican members began. It lasted about
Hire? hours, and It was formally derided to hold
one ea'-h, Monday, Wednesday and FrMay until aai
agreement has been r.-nrhed and a bill framed
The discussions in to-.lay's 00nf?T?nc? were ex?
ceedingly warm and earnest, ?ud no? much progress
was made. Each member defined and explained his
own views at length, and several of the member?
laid down certain proposlt.oi.s by Which th'-y ?Je
o'ared they must abide On? proposition Whioh
provoked much debate and Strong opposition, It Is
i.i.derstood, was that offered by Mr. BrostUS, of
Pennsylvania, who favors t;?? plan f bringing in
several bills, each on? dealing with a tingle phase
of the subject. Several members were outsp ..
Opposition to what they reg;ir*?d as '11

Another m;.tt?r which provoked discussion and

The most practical and important statement w.ts
made bj Chairman Canaon of the Appropriai lona
I Committee, who explained that Ihe estimate foi ?

the Postofflce Department knew a? well four or Are
j month? ago as they know to-day ;iiat if th? service

PROTESTS AGAINST THK REDUCTIONS
Mr. Bromweii ?Rep. Ohio) submitted some re?
mark? on th? faillir? of the Senate to p'.i?*.. In the
t'rgent Deficiency bill an appropriation for the
i continuation of the mail-carrier ?service until July i
j It was well known, he ?aid, that an order had been
I si;?.l to ? - ? j t down the earrnr servie nti |", hru
I nry 1. The order had h<-?n suspended In the ho, e.
! that an appropriation would be made In th. De?
i fleten?** bin. bat n* the ?Senate had declined In
j make the appropriation the order would r:
i go Into effect. H-? proceeded to romment on th?
I discrimination ?gainst certain '-'.ties, notably r*ln?
I clnnatl, in th? matter of carrier service in some
j i-:::?? there were sa manj .. eight dellverlea He
thoucht deliveries in rxi?--s of ru?, posslMy four,
I were uoBecessary.
Mr. Qulgg ?n.-n . S. Y ? In reply sustained that
the mall deliveries tn New-York City were
lute!) necessary to g? i the mall out of and Into
the ganen I office in that city. He denounced as i
pl.-.-e of folly and absurd parsimony th? spirit
which had cul down th appropriation in the i ur?
rent law The > eitle? of the country, h, ?i',l,
were in a ?tat? ol gltatton because <>f an atti nipt
to save a paltry ttSo.OMi
Mr. i:.?'.Kt;ati (Rep., ill >. Mr. Adams ?Rep. Penn )
and other member? representing ihe i >rer^r cities

?.kith protests.
Mr. Alexander (Rep., N T Id? tlared thai Buffalo,
ahlch had all ifl nt sers |< e, was I

where Ihe inhabitanta wenl sli or elghl nlles for

who had their mail delivered free
times a day. As th? Ooverni i ?
economljt' i-i order to k. ? ;> the expenditures down
to the receipts, he thought it could not be done better
! than by cutting off two or three deliveries s day

LOUD REPLIES TO QUIOO
Mr T.o-j 1 (I>p Cal), ?-bain-nan of the Postofflee
i'ommittee, made a sensational speech, or, rather,
a epee-h prosnlslog Bssuotlonal developments In th?
future. He was hoarse. an<l could with difficulty
heard. Only the circumstance, of tha caae, he
said, could induce him to attempt t> SB) anything
to-day. The question presented was on.? far great?
or than the ?Imple on. of a delivery more or less
In New-York or <'ht.-ngo. The statement* of the
gentleman from New-York iMr. '-?ulgg). he said.
| were absolutely false and unfounded. That gen?
tleman had been basing himself interviewed, charg?
ing that he ?Mr. l-OUd) waa respOBStbl. for th?
existing predicament, that he had d.flej Concretes
end th?,,Pa.tofflce Department, and had forced the
Departmeat to cut off the carrier?. "8u-h criti?
cism." said Mr. Loud, "la beneath my contempt.
The charge is made that the PoetoAce Appropria?
