Washington City, Feb. 1. —The long con
test over the silver hot>4 WO is at an end in
the senate. That body passed the tree
■liver coinage substitute of the hojse bond
Ull by the decisive vote of 42 to 3i—a ma-
Jerity of 7 for free silver. This result was
(eacked at 3 o'clock today, after three
hours of caustic debate and sharp parlia
mentary fencing. The public interest in
the culmination of the pro'rHcted struggle
was shown by the crowded galleriu and
the full attendance on the floor, seventy
seven senators being present and the oth
er* i«aired. Baron Tnielmann, the German
ambassador, occupied u front s*at in the
diplomatic gallery, showing keen interest
in the final vote. Mem tiers of the'house
crowded the cftamkr, tilling 1 the available
Mats and standi: « room in the rear and
aide areas. It had been expected that a
final vote would l»e taken at 2 o'clock, but
a conflict of opinion arose as to the agree
ment, resulting in considerable bitterness
and personal feeling. Many amendments
u re pending when 2 o'clock arrived, but
these were summarily cut off by a strict
construction of the agn-ement, alihottgh
the difference"- ever th" agreement ueelf
held off th< vote for an hour beyond the
time set. The result w-as such a foregone
conclusion that little excitement or sur
prise was occasioned by th< announcement
of the passage of the substitute.
Washington City. Feb. I.—The session of
the »t nate opened at 11 o'clock with a
speefth by the venerable senator from \ er
raont, Morrill, who saitfc the house had
promptly responded to the president's
message and supplemented it with an
emergency tariff revenue bill. The frte
silver substitute for the l>ond bill, he add
ed, "may not l»* the first time when bread
has been*asked for and a stone has been
presented, but it Is the first time a com
mit! >* of the senate teems to have i>er
petruled a practical joke almost good
enough for a clown ol Ilarnum's menag
erie." The senator thought a deficient na
tional income should not have been less
swiftly remedied than an excess, saying:
"The present administration, however,
exhibits bashful diffidence about acknowl
edging any deficiency of the revenue de
rived from the tariff. Bereaved of parents
in early infancy, but with their hands be
hind them, they may quietly take what-
ever money congress may place in their
(hands for the treasury, where the outflow
of gold has l*»en so swift as to make even
the heads of the keepers dizzy." Refer
ring to the assertion ttaat France main
tains silver at a parity with gold, he said:
"Because there Is no blustering silver par-
ty and no sHver-plftted Democratic party
that are daily striving to pull down their
money standard to that of depreciated sil
ver. they keep silver to the amount of
s3S«,<K*>,ooo, with 1773,000,000 of gold, on a
ratio of 15' ito 1. The I*nited States has
been the friend and patron of silver to Its
own hurt. If our late investments of near
ly JiiOO.OOO.OM in silver have been notorious
ly improvident and unprofitable, the dis
astrous results will appear as a drop in
the bucket when compared with what
must flow from the enormity of the pres
ent proposal to open all our mints to the
free coinage of the silver of the world."
Morrill paid his respects as follows to
the threats to form a new silver party:
; "Some whispered threats have floated in
the air that the extreme silver men now
fraternizing here and at home in the Re
t publican party would hand themselves to
| gether on one dominant Id.-a and with
auxiliary Democratic aitl hlt< h on to the
, tail of a great RepuMKan measure at the
first opportunity some tinkling silver
; amendment, hoping thereby to secure the
; triumph of the hybrid combination, ai
j though the grand old Republican party
j mlirht perish. But th«re is little f.-ar of
thi«? threat, for if carried out the riot act
might be read at home to the offenders,
upon whom public opinion would not fail
to place Its brand, and. whatever party
might survive, not all thf> garroters of the
Republican party would be among its
members."
Morrill said the Republican party Intend
ed to retain both metals in circulation,
and the recent elections showed that the
| people bad confidence in that party. "The
election." s«id Morrill, "of Republican
governors in the states of the South show
that rh» v an wheeling into line with their
former brethren on questions which con
cern their industrial prosperity. The Re
publican party at its earliest opportunity
wilt seek the co-operation of leading na
! tions in the coinage of silver, and will
meantime aim to maintain integrity in
| business affairs and the honor of the coun
try by the maintenance of every dollar of
mono in the hands of the i>eople without
depreciation of its full face value."
T< 11. r Rep.. Col., replied briefly to the
; refer.? . Morrill made to the
f - \ r «hen cominit fi-nn the roims

There was an amusing tilt between
Stewart and several senators while Lind

cou.d not pass, and never seriously pressed

rupted to de«y thgt th? question was not

"Who said he would have vetoed it?"
"He said so himself," answered Stewart.
"To whom?" asßtd Gray.
Stewart did not in mediately answer, but
Yoorhees renewed the controversy by ask
ing Stewart by what authority ne stated
that Mr. Harrison, who was president la
would have vetoed a f;ee coinage

"He did not tell g»e," answered Stewart.

At four minuter to 2 o'clock Gorman be
gan speaking He Spoke of the trultless
ness of the efforts to secure the final enact
j ment of a free coirjge law. It was report
ed by a finance committee nostiie to the

would be Impossible for such a measure to
j bi -ome a law prior to March 4, 1897.
•Why?" interjected Morgan.
"Because," replied Gorman, "the df clara
flons of the president of the United Stat«s
i convince every man that ;«ieh a provision
eannot receive his asswit."
Morgan asked If congress should not pro

executive branch. ,
Gorman replied that he fully recognized
*th« need of complete Independence from

At this point a complication arose as to
the nature of the unanimous consent agree
nient for a vote at t o'clock. Harris con
tended that any amendment offered after
2 o'clock w is a volition of the agreement.
His purpose was to get a final vote at -
o'clock. „
Chandler and I/xlge urged that all de

it had nor been understood that all amend

London, Feb. I.—ln spite of the social
and political gloom, there has been a re
vival of political activity, due to the ap
proach of the reassembling of parliament.
Several speeches on politics were delivered
during the week, notably that of the Mar
quis of Salisbury at the meeting of Nun-
Conformist Unionists at the Hotel Metro
pole on Friday On the whole, the Tiar
qmsls said to have disappointed his warm
est admirers, especially in his exposure of
the weakness of Great Britain in the clast,
and of his explanations of her reasons for
non-interference in Armenia.
His repealed acceptance of the Monroe
doctrine, however, shows that the common
sense policy advocated by Mr. Gladstone
in the treatment of the Venezuelan ques
tion is tinding root in high quarters, r.nd
this is a most timely showing, for public
sentiment is becoming strongly opposed to
the premier's attitude toward America,
North as well as South.
Right Hod. George Gosehen, iirst lord of
the admiralty. \. ill, it is announced, move
the address in the house of commons in re
ply to the queen's speech at the opening of
I arlianit-nt, ami Sir John Ma\w 11 will sec
ond the motion. The stand taken by the
government in regard to the V'en >zuelan
and Armenian questions will be challenged
by the Liberals. Air. Justin McCarthy has
summoned a meeting of the Irish parlia
mentary party for next Saturday and it is
understood that upon that occasion the te
forni organization movement w ill be consid
ered. Mr. McCarthy, it is said, will be re
elected chairman.
Thu St. James Gazette this afternoon
announced tlwt it had learned that the
government had settled, so far as possible,
the programme for the work of the ses
sion. The pioposals of the government, the
Gazette adds, will deal with four groups
of subjects, national defense and Increase
of the navy, measures for the relief of hus
bandry. Irish legislation and the question
of the support of voluntary srhools. lie
fore any progress is ma le with these meas
ures, however, there will be a. discussion
of the foreign and colonial policy of the
government, especially regarding the
Transvaal. Venezuela and Armenia, t.nd
the latter subject promises to provide much
Interest In the reading, in view of the ad
missions of Great, Britain's weakness
which the Marquis of Salisbury made last
evening, and which, it is claimed, show that
there is a complete failure of British diplci
macy.
The St. James Gazette, and for that mat
ter all the other newspapers, dwells upon
the gravity of the statements made by the
pretnl' r, and admits that British interven
tion in Turkey has resulted in a fiasco.
The St. James Gazette says: "Armenia
was the Marquis of Salisbury's first fail
ure. and it is a serious one. The failure
is chiefly Lord Rozebery's and Lord Kini
berly's, but the Marquis of Salisbury is
also resj>onsible. If he had retired from
an im|H>ssible position, the precursors five
months ago of the autumn massatTes
would have been avoided, and his humiliat
ing confession of failure and impotency
would not have been needed."
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
"According to the Marquis of Salisbury's
speech, the Berlin treaty meant nothing
ana no engagement existed. If so. had we
n >t letter confess the farcical futility of
the whole performance and make r\®m
for Russia or any other power who can In
fluence the sultan?"
Ptircell's "IJfe of Cardinal Manning." In
which he makes statements regarding the
cardinal's political and religious intrigues
which are damaging to the prelate's repu
tation, has created such a vast amount
of offense in Catholic circles that Cardinal
Mr.r.nlnfe's executors have issued a dis
claimer of all connection with or respon
sibility for the work. adding: "We do not
in the least recognize the cardinal in the
so-called biography." Nevertheless, the
executors have been compelled to admit
that the work is founded upon Cardinal
Marnlng's private papers which they al
lowed Purceil to use, though they after
ward revoked the authority and tried to
prevfnt the publication of the work.

The Davis. Will ( «sa Again.
Chicago, Feb. I.—The Davis will trial,
which was in the courts of Montana for
several years, is likely to be fully venti
lated in Chicago. This morning i bill was
filed in the United States -ircult mrt by
Erwin Davis, of New York, brother >f A.
J. Davis, the multi-millionaire. whose vast
foruine is at issue. A. J. Davis died at
Butte. Mont., March it. IV*'. supposedly
intestate, leaving an estate worth about
5.?,00A,00Q. In the midst of the turmoil
among the dead man's relatives a will was
found, leaving to Thomas J. Davis, his
sister and Mrs. Beggot a share of the
property, and the balance to his brother,
John A. The children and heirs of the
other relatives of the dead millionaire con
tested the will, declaring it a forgery, but
later entered an agreement for a di
vision of the property. This was decreed
by the court. Krwin, brother of A. J.
Davis, attacks the compromise and asks
the court to restrain the children of John
A. Davis from receiving any of the estate,
and exhibits a decree, signed by ail the liv

Berlin, Feb. I.—There was a judicial in
quiry yesterday into the publication, un*
authorises u nd inexplicable, by the Vor
waerts. the ,>ri;an of the Socialists, qf the
imperial decree granting amnesty to pris
oners. which the em;»ror made public « u
the day of the celebration of the twenty
tlfth anniversary of the re-establishment of
the German empire. The whole <>f the stafS
of the Vorw:tm»- whs examined minutely,
but no light on the subject was appar
ently obtained.
A hiish offi Ul of the colonial office In
formed the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press that Emperor William is (irm
ly determined to carry out the project of
doubting the «ixe of the German navy. Toe
official alluded to has had repeated conver
sations with Kmperor Wllliatn on this sub
ject luring the pant three weeks, and lie
asserts that durirx the coming summer
the plan for the reorganization of the navy
will he drawn up. The present programme
for slowly enlarging the navy must remain
in force for the next two years, but in Qid
meanwhile the new plan will lie adopted,
the preliminary st« ps will he taken, a 1
the means to «*xecute it will be secured.
The emperor Is convinced tlitt this is ab
solutely necessary in order to secure to
Germany permanently her position as t
great power, and especially as a rising
colonial power. Hence, all the emperor's
energy will be bent t«> that end. Something,
however, must be lorn immediately, a.'i<l
if the present relchst tg refuses to grant
I trge s.jtns for the building and equipment
of a fleet of fast cruisers, the nation will
be appealed to and an attempt will be miuUt
to raise money for this purinse by popular
subscription. Already » store of German
nobh'S, especially merchants, have declare*!
their readiness to subscribe 3,n00,f100 marks
to form the. nucleus of a fund. . Anion if
them are John Albrecht of" Mlcklenberg.

Stumm and Krupp, and a number of Ham
burg and nrereen exporters. It is fur
ther stated that Prince Bismarck had ex
pressed to the emperor his belief ir. the
necessity of creating a strong German
navy.
The fact that Prince Hohenlohe, the
imperial chancellor, and some of the other
members of th-- cihinet do not acquiesce
In these views has. It is asserted, cause.t
the emperor to seriously consider the ad
visability of makinjr mors changes in the
ministry. The emiieror's Intention, how

cabinet and charged it with obstructing
his majesty's plans.
Admiral Mailman, naval secretary of
state, who Is known to differ from the em
peror upon the plans of navy reorganiza
tion. has already handed In his resignation.
The fact that both Russia and France took
pains to show their friendliness towar l
Gfrmany upon the occasion of Kmperor
William's birthday Is generally commented
upon. For the first time In twenty-five
years the French embassy on the Parlsaer
plaza was Splendidly Illuminated, and 'ho
Russian ambassador, in presenting Km
peror William with the rsar's congratula
tions and handing his majesty a beautiful
present, conveyed the czar's high KratiflcH
t'on that the entente eordiale Itetween Rus
sia and Germany had her n renewed during
th* important crisis of last year.
The reichrtag on March 2 Is to celebrate
the sign'nir of the prMfcmlnary peace of IWTI
