Also Senate bill to authorize the building of a

tbade relations with c ax aba.
Mr.Payne, in presenting petitions in favor of
the resolutions offered by Mr. Carlisle early in
the session as to trade relations with Cuuada,
expressed the opinion that the resolutions
should have beer, referred to the committee on
foreign relations rather than to the select com
mittee on trade relations with Canada.
, chairman of the latter committee
explained that the delay in acting ut*>n the
resolution had been due to the absence
(through illness) of Messrs. Butler and Voor
heesand to the engagements of Messrs. Allison
ana Hale in the committee on appropriations.
He promised that there would soon be a meet
ing of the select committee, although it was not
very likely, he said, that action would be taken
by the Senate on a matter of such very grave im
portance at this short session. He had been
informed that it would be debated very vx
tensively when it came up in the Senate. The
committee would therefore get the matter ripe
for action by the Senate as soon as it could.
Mr. Carlisle thought it probablv true that it
would be impossible to dispose of such a sub
ject at the present Congress. But he would be
very much gratified land so would a great
many of the people of the United States' to
have a report mads, one wav or the other. '
Senate bill authorising "the Coos Bav and
Roseburg Kailroad Company to construct a
bridge acrose the Coal Bank siough in Oregon

mb. Vance's cbedextialb.
The credentials of Mr. Vance for bis new
senatorial term, beginning March 4 next, were
presented by Mr. liansom and placed on file.
THE BEVEXt'E MARINE BILL.
The bill for the adjudication of claims aris
ing from Indian depredations having been
taken up as the "unfinished business." Mr.
Gray appealed to the Senate for an evening ses
sion for a consideration of the bill to transfer
the revenue marine from the Treasury Derart- J
ment to the Navy Department. He s:,oke of
the bill as one of great public concern and
asked unanimous consent to have it taken up
and considered in the evening session.
Mr. l'addock suggested that the request be
made at a later hour of the dav. He hoped
that it would not be insisted on now.
Mr. Chandler?Why not?
Mr. Edmunds?I object to it.
I'^dock?I object because we cannot
tell how long it will take to conclude the con
sideration of the pending bill.
nfotft 'Am1 ?ust,^at. what*ver time, dav or
night, the Senate will give to legislative busi
ness will be ^iveu to the IndUn depredation
claims bill unt.l it is disposed of.
Mr. Edmunds?It is known on both sides of
the chamber that an order of business has been
agreed upon by gentlemen on this side and it
w my duty as representing them in taking care
of the order of business to insist that the order
shall go on. I therefore am obliged to object
to the request of the Senator from Delaware
whatever my opinion may be as to the merits
of his particular bill.
Mr. Gray?I have not desired to interfere
with the order of business, but it is quite aPI>a
rent that within the eleven or twelve days that
are left of the session the seven or eight dis
tort subjects in the order of business cannot
be completed. I have endeavored to make mv
suKge.Uonin such shape as not to interfere
with the order of business by asking the Sen
ate to consent to an evening session for
this special purpose, and therefore (as unani
mous consent has been refused) I move that
the Senate today take a recess from 6 to 8, and
HL 2," .t^.r:,n aK 8eM'on th? revenue marine
transfer bill be taken np for consideration.
The Presiding Officer (Mr. Ingalls)?The
Senate has already adopted an order for ?
daily recess from 6 until 8.
more on tbe conven
lM J* ?exxa** revenue marine transfer
bill be taken up for consideration.
The presiding officer ruled that the motion
could only be entertained by unanimous con
sent.
_*r: Chandler appealed to Mr. Edmunds to
withdraw his objection. The Senate, he said
was not able last evening to get a quorum to
consider the Indian depredations bill but it
might be that a ouorutn would attend this even
ing to consider the revenue marine bill.
At all events it would do no harm to
the effort.
The appeal was not successful, and the con
sideration of the Indian depredation bill wma
proceeded with.
MB. INGALLS BEBXOXS THE CIA IB.
Mr. Ingalls. who was occupying the Vice
President's chair as presiding officer pro tem.
made a personal statement. He said: Four

TALKING of monkv.
**? Nswlsnd* Before the " ? 11
Committee Today.
There was a very noticeable lack of interest
today in the proceedings of the Mouse coinage
committee now that it ha* been decided to
close the hearings on the stive;- question to
morrow and only three member* of the com
mittee were present. Representative Walker
(Mass.) continued hi* examination of Mr.
Newhind*, the inquiry being chiefly on cor
relative suljects rather than the direct issue
involved in the silver question.
OOLD ASD SILVER ARE BUT DROaa.
In response to one question Mr. Newlands
said that, in hi* opinion, both gold and silver,
apart from their money use, which l-il been
given them by law. custom and tradition were
intrinsically the most worthless metal* in the
world. That was. be added, perhaps an ex
travagant statement. Deprive gold and ailver
or their money quality and thev would be
worth very little a* compared with iron, copper
lead and other uteful metal*. '
PAX1C8 AND THEIR CAtTKBS.
The recent panic having been alluded to bv
Mr. Newlands Mr. Walker wanted to know if were
there anything in this world with which man
had to do which wa* not subject occasionally to
disturbance. Mr. Kewland* replv was that he
.I,'?v' no,w ^ *ny financial ayatcm which
could be made perfect and would entirelv avert
panics, but their liability to occur could be
be lessened, and he thought one great cause of
panics was a small volume of money.
THE TALE ABOUT POOLE.
Mr.Walker *aid that a* it had been charged that
there were gold pools and gold bugs, who were
seeking to influence legislation, he would aak if
Gen. Warner was paid for his servi-os by the
silver organization. The witness replied that
Gen Warner wa* not paid for bis services. *nd
that his interest in the silver question was en
tirely impersonal, but he should decline to an
?7e? ooet.tions relating to the organization
He hi'.dgivan his testimony in this matter befor*
the silver pool iueestigating committee.
Mr. Newlands said that he did not indulge in
any of this idle talk about pools and moner or
ganization and corrupt influence* on either aide
He did not believe either side wa* doing mure
than attempting, by discussion and agitation,
to influence public sentiment. Tba teim ?ol<i
bug wa* used, he thought, jnat aa the Wrm
?liver (peculator wa* u*ed on the other si da.
ntDiA aa a "bike bole" for iilver.
J. 8. Moore, the "Paraee merchant." ? ??!? a
statement to the effect that it wa* not the de
monetization of diver by the United State*
which cauaed the decline in valu* of ailver but
a smaller demand for silver in India and a
larger aupply of *ilver, due to importation*
and an improvement in transportation amont
tn? ^dia prorinces. India wa* called a ank
hole for nlver because, although great amounts
of stiver were aent there, none ever came back.
Mr. Bartine closely queationed Mr. Moon
With reference to his statements of Indian
s.TJr'crHK
correct, nevertheless.
