C., Oct. 17.?The storm which broke In the senate to-day serves as an index to tlio feeling of impatience and resistance which lias boon | gradually accumulating. Senator Sherman only aniplilled in his speech what he lias boen saying privately for two weeks, and the time may bo extended further back still in referring to Senator ' Hill's uttcraucos. Mr. Sherman's taunt of the Democrats for failuro to agree among themselves has had the effect of increasing the prospect for a caucus of Democratic senators. Seven or eight senators on that side of the chamber, led by Senators Butler aacl PugU have been trying /or tho past two or three days to get their fellow* Democratic sonators to agree to submit the entiro question to a parly conference and abide by tho result of itH decision, and it is understood tnat Senator Gorman, chairman of the caucus, has the question under advisement. There is a possibility of a joint Democratic caucus of both the house and tho senate, as suggested by Senator Hill in debate to-day and acquiesced in by Senator Butler. All the membors of tho senate are beginning to ieel that tho present strain cannot last a great w hile longer and that a desperate eflort will bo made to iiud relief in some direction. Tho silver men court adjournment and appear confident that the result would bo favorable to them. Senator Aldrich, ex-chairman, and at present a member of the coinmitteo on rules, said this afternoon that the time was not yet * rjpe for action on tho rules, though ho (tin nlianna triiirlit hn nnilor. iiikcn boforo a great while. It is somewhat uncertain how the com mitte would aland upon this question. Of tho Hvo members the two Republicans, Al?irich and Matideraon, were when tlio question was last under discussion in { ne senate favorable to a change so as {o bring any question boforo the senate to a vote, and tho three Democrats, lackburn, Harris and Gorman, woro opposed. It is now intimated that lllackburn has modified his views, and ii in favor of a liberal cloture. On tho mhor hand it is thought possible that Atnndorson might oppose a change at inl? time. Aldrich, Harris and Gorman fciand as thoy formerly stood. Tho senate's decision to tako a recess jn-tearl of adjournment, reached to* jiight, will have tho effect of doing away with tho morning business when tho question of the rules on tho pending motion is disposed of, and as tho house's lime for convening in fixed at 10 instead nl 11 o'clock, would materially increase Oietime for the considering tho financial bill. Some of tho silver men sot out to filibuster against this chango, but ?|ie number was so small that thoy con* eluded to listen to tho advice of their friends and agrco to a chango which would atlord opportunity to do all tho work of tho senate during the day tirao. DETAILED VROOEED1NOS. The Debate Interesting From llcginninv to Knit?Dill Advocates "Cznr" lined'* llide? ? Senator Sherman's Pointed hpeecli-Llgltt Breaking on the Demo* e rat*. Washington, d. C., Oct. 17.?Immediately after tho journal was road in tho senate this morninj! Mr. Dolph (Hop., Oregon) rose to correct it on tho ground that it was inaccurate in failing to recite the presenco of Senators Allon and Kyle on sundry roll calls, thoy having boon present in tho senate and tailed to vote. Mr. Dolph sliid it had become apparent that if honators could talk indefinitely and read from books aud papers without limit, ana if tho senate was not to amend its rules or to put a different construction upon them, that tiio senate must drift down tho current of endless tall: without accomplishing any result. Ho believed ho could say that twenty-six Republican senators not <>iilv favored tho repeal of tho silver purchasing clause ot tho Sherman art, but would bo willing to vote to amend the rules so tho majority in tho oonate could limit dobate. Mr. Dolph regarded as ridiculous and farcical the procoduro in the senate when a senator suggested tho absence of a quorum and then upon tho roll call refused to answer to his name. Ho was getting very tired of that sort of thing and thought it was time the sonato 1 tdiould have a little backbone. Mr. Harris. (Dein.) Tenn.. regretted that Mr. Dolph was tired, but if he were, tho boat remodv was to sit down and rost. [Laughtor.J Tho journal, ho said, recited tho proceedings accurately and the scolding administered bv the senator from Oregon was not merited. Mr. Faulkner, (Democrat, West Virginia,) who was in tho . chair last ovening, said that there was no power to count a fenator as present, and justified his decision in ruling tho resolution out of order. Mr. llill (Democrat, Now York,) said ho had never shared in the criticism that in the abeenco of rules tho speaker of tho housb had not tho right to tell tho truth and to make tho journal ro- n fuse to toll a lie. That the speaker hud p not tho right to exercise his own senses, n and when a member eat right in front A! of him and did not vote to have the d journal show the fact of his presence. a "I believe," continued Mr. llill, "that f< the presiding officer of this body has a c perfect right under the rules upon a p roll call, either upon his own suggestion w or that of any senator, to first ask a sen- s ator who ia in his seat to vote. If tho senator refuses to voto then I believe n the presiding officer has the right to di- \i rect tho clerk to enter upon the journal t, tlmt the senator was present and de- b1 oiiiiuu iu vuic, The vico president ruled that nothing wag in order nt this Btngo oxcopt what pertained to the approval of tho journal ' and that therefore the resolution of 31r. > Dolph wag not in order. ii Mr. Morgan, (Dom.) of Alabama, said t he was not surprised that tho senator t from New York, (Mr. Hill) had chain- j, pioued tho rulings of tljo speaker of the b house because he was /the unfortunate c instrument, when ho prosidod over tho r senate of Now York, in the introduction g of that kero3y,not only in tho old Dera- c ocratic party and its traditions, but i also in the constitutional rights of logU- 0 lative bodies. ji Mr. Morgan called it heresy, because ? to his mind it was obvious that a ma- \: jority of a legislative body could take care of itself. ,] "Does tho majority here tako care of r itself?" asked Mr. Washburn. <) "I will inform tho senator," repliod Mr. Morgan, "that he himself has softie- 0 times been in tho majority (referring to t tho anti-option bill) when lie was not r able to take care of himself." t "I have always been able to tako care 0 of myself in this body and elsewhere," u said Mr. Washburn sharply. t i nave not aeon it so wotkqu out in tho measures tho senator had advocated," declared MrfJMorgan. "Tho senate passed that bill by a handsome majority, but it failed in the house forjthe wantof a two-thirda majority," said Mr. Washburn. Mr. Morgan wont on to speak of tho alliance and coalition between certain i-Jemocratio senators and certain Republican senators na certain to disrupt tho Democratic party, and he askod whether his Democratic colleagues were willing to strike that fatal blow. GROWS PERSONAL. "I wish to say for myself that that is v untrue," said Mr. Gray (Dom. Dol.) !j "If the senator from Delaware," said Q Mr. Morgan, "wants to mako a personal c application of that remark, I have not li applied to him, I cannot help it." s Mr. Washburn thought over tor sorao o Lime the declaration of Mr. Morcan as a to a coalition, and, after Mr. Morgan s Imd loft the subjoct, asked hiui what he t meant by it. "I mean an agreement," eaid Mr. p Morgan, "between the Domocrats and t Republicans who favor tho pending bill t that it ehall not bo amended in any par- a ticular whatever. That is tho first prop- i t oaition. Is that right?" n "Go on," urged Mr. Washburn. g "la that right?" persisted Mr. Mor- n can. u "After the senator shall have made his statement i desire to state that there is no coalition of any doscrip* tion," said Mr. Washburn; "no agree- 1 incut or understanding of any character 1 or description, and when tho senator c states that thero is a coalition he docs a t very grave injustice to every man on t this sido of tho chamber," * n "I will not yield the floor to tho sona- v tor to abuao mo," said Mr. Morgan. j "I do not intend to," disclaimed Mr. ? TVn?I.K "Thou ait down," demanded Mr. g Morgan. \ "I want to defend myaelf," said Mr. s Washburn, "and my Republican col- 8 leagues from the charge of tho &enator t from Alabama." 'j "Tho senator was intruding himself \{ in a matter in which 1 did not huvo jj him in mind," said Air. Morgan. "1 u did not hnve him in mind as a leador of f tho Kepublican party." [Laughter.] t "I stand hero as a Kepublican, ro- t plied Mr. Washburn, excitedly, and I ,] am not to bo ntampod und insultod for v my position." fl "1 am here on tho floor," declared 8 Mr. Morgan, defiantly, "responsible for e every word I say; either in this chamber or outside. "You understand that?" ?< "Perfectly" Mr. Washburn ro- j( spondod. 8 "Perfoctly responsible," added Mr. j Morgan in emphasis of his original c statement. Mr. Morgan then wont on j, with his argument. In the course of it ij Mr. Morgan alluded to Senator Slier- t; man as one of tho loaders of tho coali- c tion, and Senators Lodge and Hill ho y called "tho juveniles from Massauhu- f( setts and Now York." He proceeded t to argue against tho position taken by a Mr. Hill, which brought that senator to j his foot to stale exactly what his poai- R tion was. B, "I claim first," said he, "that it is p within tho power of the presiding oili- ^ cor (in the absonco of express rules to c the contrary) to determine tho presonco n ot a quorum. My second proposition n is that there is no rulo of the senate ], which expressly, or oven impliedly, forbids that action." Q morgan's defiance. n In tho question of clpturo Mr. Mor- v gan deliod senators to establish such a jj rule. Ho would not bo alarmed into a subordination by tho scheme of any o one by anything of the kind, nor would b he surrender his constitutional rights in response to howling, rampant demands of concession to tho banks. "If I must dio here," said Mr. Morgan in ^ dosing, "I will die like an honorable v man at my post." e Mr. Gray topic issue with Mr. Hill. That senator was in error in saying there i< wa< no rulo that covered the case ex- s presslv or impliedly. j Mr. Hill said lie had not expected to convince senators who had no respect n for tho supreme court and were not t willing to bow to its decision. e Mr. Hill then paid his respects to Mr. Morgan. It was true, Mr. Hill o said, that there wero politicians in New York. IIo supposed thoro were no politicians in Alabama. They were all t statesmen from that country. [Laugh- 3 ter.] Mr. Morgan had spoken of his life-long devotion to the constitution. \ "I supposed." said Mr. Hill, "that for a brief period my friend was supporting v another constitution, but I may be mis- t taken." [Applause.] As to Mr. Mor- o can's talk about dying at his post, Mr. t Hill had heard like stn omenta by men s who wero going to "die in tho last 11 ditch," "but," said Mr. llill, "tiere aro a intiy of them loft." [Renewed apInline and laughter.] Tnen Mr. Hill, oferring to n remark of Mr. Morgan's lint tlio decision of the supreme court id not bind Ins conscience, related an nocdote of a lawyer arguing a case boare a juatico of tiio peace, who read a hapter from Blackstone, not for the i urposo of showing thai the justice was | rrong, but to show what a fool Black* louo was. [Laughtor.] 80 ho, Mr. ilill, had read the decision iot to show that Mr. Morgan was rrong, for I10 was ulways right, but for ho purpose of showing what a fool the upretuo court had mado of itself. THUMIAN COUNTED A QUORUM. Referring to a remark of Mr. Morgan, omplimentary to Allen G. Thurinan, Ir. llill said lie supposed Mr. Morgan i 11 milking that tribute had in view all ho record made by .Mr. Thurmati in ho senate. lie thon road from the >urnal of tiio senate when on one occaion Mr. Thurmau being temporarily j ailed to the chair, and certain senators j efuaed to vote, counted a quorum. The alleriea vigorously applauded the roital of this action on the part of .Mr. I 'hurinan, and Mr. Hill said: "l'hore ia ne of the distinguished men whom I >ropose to follow rather than the lead f the distinguished senator from Alaama." Mr. Sherman (Ren.. Ohio) then adressed the senate, lie said that the 1 ules of tiio senate were made to expeite the public business in an orderly, j roper manner, and their object was to nablo the senate to legislate. While hat was the primary object of ail the j ules it was equally important to give tie minority full and free opportunity of f debate. But when the rules were | sod by the miuority to obstruct legisla- j ion then tho rules should at once be j ltered. Whenever a minority usod noans of obstruction unduly it created evolution. Mr. Sherman said llie obstructive lothods which had boon pursued in lie last few months had gone far.beond anything lie had evor witnessed a his senatorial experience. In fact bstructive moasurea had been resortod o which had never been invoked since Lie senato was first organized. Tho refusal of senators to voto was a iolation of the rules of good order, le thought, therefore, probably not at his session that the time hud arrived irhen the Eonatu must adopt rules to rovent obstruction to public businoss. .'hero waa a enango in tho senate?not n the scoro of ability but duo to inreaped numbors. Thoro was no legisitive body in tho world that had not oruo power to close debate. Tho preant session has continued two months ud nothing had been done; not a ingle measuro iiad passed the senate hat was of tho slightest iiuportauce. Tho houye of representatives had lerformed its duty, but in tho eonatu hero nad not been a vote on nny qucjion presented where thore had been ny difference of opinion. If that eoninued tlio senate would no longer command the rnspect of aetivo and intellient people?and tho Americans were ;ien of action in all departments of .ction. A STINGING KliUUKK. Mr. Sherman said tho responsibility n tho present situation rested nnon the )einocratic senators. It was said they ould not agree. He would say to them hat they mudt agree or elso surrender heir political power. If tho senate ns low organized could not malco a law without longand protracted debate, and i the Democratic senators woro unable o meet together and formulate somo roposition, tho peoplo of the United Lilies WOUK1 tauu mum ui.un;ii tvurui. 'lioso on tlio Republican sido of tho onato bad remained silent largely doirinjr to hear l'rouithe other sido whom lie people had honored with a majority, 'ho President had expressed his opinon, and while the Republicans did not elievo in him of his policies and were ndor 110 obligations to him, yet they urnished two-thirds of the votes nearly o carry out his will, while the party hat the President represented Htood liable to formulato a policy or to say I'hat thoy desiied. If they did not greo with the President lot them say o, or let them formulate something Ibc. "In times past," said Mr. Sherman, when the Republicans were in the ma* j Drity, we never shrank from the roponaibility which ia now upon the I )emocratic party. Wo were Kepubllans bucuuso wo believed in Republican j rinciples, Republican men ana Kepubcan measures, and whonover a quesiou came up in this chamber to bo doided we never pleaded tho baby act. Vre ask our brothers on the other sido, )r whose ability and standing we have lie highest respect, to moot together nd consult with each othor. If they o not like tho President's plan, givo us ome other, and in God's name let us cttle this important question for tho eople of our country. Then wo will iko it into our consideration. If we an agree with you we will. We will ot follow your examplo. If wo do not groo with you, wo will givo you a many no. "These aro things that cannot bo voided," Mr. Sherman said. "Vou mat decide this silver question one fay or another. If you cannot do it nd retire from tho sonato chamber, we n this sido of tho houso will sottlo it nil wo will do tho best wo can with ur silver frionds, who aro blood of our ilood and bono of ou^ bone." WILL "TRY IT." "I would liko to know," inquirod Mr. lorgan, "whether tho senator would oto for the unconditional repeal of the ntire Sherman act." "No," replied Mr. Sherman emphatically, "and no othor man who under- I tands tho subject would do it in my I udement." "I have studiod it to tho best of ray I bility," Mr. Morgan said, "and I inond to oiler an amendment to that I llect and get avoto upon it." "I will vote against it with tin great- | at pleasure," said Mr. Shorman. "I had no doubt you would." "I have no doubt that two-thirds of he Democratic sido will vote against it," Jr. Sherman replied. Mr. Morgan?1 do not know but wo I pill try it. Mr. .Shorman?That is precisely what re want to do. Why should we not try his? Why should wo bo hero Fcventy idd days without any question; let us ry it. In conclusion Mr. bherman aid: "Break down this barrier now oaintninod by tho United States sonte; break up this violent obstruction to the will of tho majority. Givo the senate free power anil play and in t n days from this time the skies will brighten, busineas will resumo its ordinary course and all tho clouds that lowered on our houso in the dcop bosom of tho ocean buried." Mr. Mills (Democrat,Texas,) in a long speech took tho position that Mr. Sherman had shot to the mark when ho safd that tho responsibility re3tcd upon the Democratic party. Mr. 11 utier, (Dom., South Carolina), inquired whether tfio senator from Texas would participate in and be hound by a caucus of Democratic 6e nators. iieforo Mr. Mills could answer the question Mr. Hill asked Mr. Butler if ho would fgo into a caucus of Democratic senators and representatives and abide by tho result. Mr. Jiutler said ho would, and, in turn, asked Mr. Hill whether ho would i:o into a caucus of Democratic senator* and be bound by tho result. Mr. Hill preferred to po into a caucus whore the entire body which had power to lojjislato was represented, and of that body thosonato was only a part. too senate too;: a recess uuui io-iiiorrow morning at 10 o'clock. IN TiiK UOUSIS. The Cox flunking Dili I'umo*?Burrow* l>cfouclH tho Pen?ionora. Washington, J). C., Oct. 17?The bill removing tho necessity for affirmative proof of the loyalty of pensioners of ware previous to tho civil war was called up in the i10u80. Mr. Burrows claimed tho bill would repeal tho section barring from pensions all who had engaged in rebellion. Colonel Oatoa denied this. It only effected a small number of tho survivors of the Mexican and Indian warn and had been recom menueu uv ex-vyoiuuiia&iuuui nuum ex-Secretary Noble. i ho most important feature* of the bill, however, was tho clause permitting theso survivors to secure bounty tiioy had earned. The bill aroused aoine of tho o!d war I spirit. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, got tho lloor and opposed the one-armed ex-Confederate veteran, Colonel Outos, who championed the bill, llo maintained thai it was an attempt to wipo out tho statute donying pensions to thoso encased in tho rebellion. "Call the hell hounds oil' the track of Union soldiers," he said vehemently, "before you restore men who were false to the Union to tho pension rolls." [Republican applau.se.] Continuing, he called attention to tho peculiar lamruage of tho report which used such phrases as "so called rebellion," war between tho states," etc. lie resented such 9latomeeuta. There never had been a war between tho states, except to tnose who believed in states rights. Ilo protested, but nevertheless he expected these fltabutea-would bo wiped out; that tho majority would reassert tho doctrine of states rights, confederates would bo restored to us, and union soldiers stricken from the pousion rolls. [Republican applnuse.] While Mr. liurrowt was talking the members crowded down into the nrea in front of the speaker's chair. Conspicuous among them being Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, on crutches, and Geueral Joe Wheelor, the ex-confederate cavalry loader. . . , , Colonel Oates said ho had lought four years and eucaged in twenty-seven battles in support ot his convictions. Hut now he was as devoted to the union as the aentleinan from Michigan, lie was entitled to coine here. "Jf ?i.arn ui,niiId hn iinothi?r war." said he. pointing his finger at Gonorui Burrows, "I would shod quite as much blood in defonso ot the union as ho would, and more," ho added, "than ho over did shed." Judge Culbortson. of Texas, came forward to pour oil on the troubled waters. Ho explained the small number of persona who would bo effected and said frankly ho did not think thero was any particular necessity for the measure. Colonel Oatoa sup-posted that the bill bo modified to exclude pensioners. The modification was accepted and without objection the bill was passed. The house then resumed consideration of the Cox banking bill. At '3 o'clock tha previous question was ordored. A substitute was offered | by Mr. Cox, including directors and I salaried officers of national bauka with! in the operation of the act. I The substitute was agreed to?28 to 45. The bill was then passed. ! INCOMPETENT DEMOCRACY. Tlio Humiliating l'onltiou the Part/ Occasion Ucforo tlio Country. Washington, D. 0., Oct. 17.?In refI erenco to the situation in tho sonate a | morning paper prints tho following: | "It is difficult to see how a settlement I can bo reached without somo sort of a ' compromise, as tho silver state senators have tho sonato by the throat and it is ! absolutely powerloss to do anything unless the majority will lako thom by tho throat and trnmplo on tho rules, | oither to amend them or to pass tho bill There is but one other alternative, and | that is for the senate to abandon the bill ontirely and let tho session end with no other rosult. This is the outI como the Republicans would be particularly delighted to bring about. Thoy I aro already inviting attention to tho inability of tho Democratic majority to do anything, and if the sessions should end in absoluto failure ovory Republican newspaper in tho country and Republican speaker on overy stump would point to the spectacle of tho Democratic party in undisputed possession of the entire legislative machinery, but without the ability to enact into law the first recommendation of their President, though the majority of the Republicans have been standing ready and anxious to aid them in every way. The Domocratic leaders say it will never do to let tho session end without some result They do not see a way out J of the difficulty yet but they aro confident somo solution will finally bo readied. Thoy say tho party might as well disband and at once confess its inability to legislate. They insist that action of tome kind must bo the result of the session, and they boliove it will not be long beforo something is done. Their confidence in this regard seems to be based more on the idea that tho party will be governed by the instinct of self preservation than upon any idea of what tho form of action will bo. It seems to bo tho general idea among senators on both tidos of the chamber that thero will bo nothing decisive this week at least. M'MflHQN 18 DEAD.
