Washington, Jan. 22—The eeoate
session today was marked by notable
speeches and notable debates. Late In
the afternoon a controversy ooonrred
between Sherman, Teller and others,
which led to the most spirited finan-
cial debate that has oooarred since the
present oongress oonvened.
Sherman spoke at length and with
great earnestness, depredating the
throating of the "old worn oat lssae"
si.ver question into the senate at a
time when praotioal legislation was
imperative.
Teller and Gorman answered Sher
man from their respeotive stand points,
while Aldrich, Lindsay, Gray and
others took pert in the exotting
debate.
Woloott's speech criticising the pres
ident’s attitude on the Vemzuelan
question was the notable event of the
early part of the day. For an hour
the senate commanded the attention
of the orowded ohamber and oveiflow
log galleries.
The senator took the ground that
the eoo tiled Monroe dootrtne has
been misapplied In the pendirg oon
troversjjtlnt so much or President
Monroe's msssago as referred toooloni
zation of portions of America by Earo
pean powers, could have no applica-
bility to any boundary dispute now
ex'sttng In Sonlh Amerioa; that hoe
tllity to ex'ensno by European powers
of tbelr systems to any portion of
this hemisphere, as expressed in that
message, had eepeolal reference to sys
terns of government whioh were based
on the divine right of kings, and whioh
were directed to the overthrow of a l
republics wherever existing; that the
Monroe dootrioe was in no wise in-
tended as insisting npon Repabltoan
forms of government in this hernia
phere; or as committing this govern-
ment to maintain the doctrine outside
of its own borderp, or except as its own
integrity might be affected; that this
oonntry Is embarking upon a new and
different policy from the one laid down
by oar fathers, and that from 1S21
until now, oongress hae uniformly de
ollned to define the eo-oalled Monroe
dcotrlne, or adopt it as a rale of aotion.
He said a commission had been ap
pointed without any knowledge of what
It was to do, or how to do It. The war
spirit had been appealed to by govern-
ment. Said be: “There is disoon-
tent with existing conditions In many
sections of the oonntry, and men feel
that any ohange, even war with a
foreign oonntry, oonld not make mat-
ters worse and might brlDg improve-
ment. There are, all over the west
and south, men who work on farms
and find the grain they raise little
more valnable for food than fnel, who
know that the railroads whioh oharge
them for transpotation of their prodnot
are largely owned In Great Britain,
and, either prosperous or insolvent,
are fostered and protected Bnd man
aged by the federal courts. They also
view with distrait the oloee financial
relations existing between bankers of
ths east and those of London, and
they would weloome any event, even
war, that would resalt, as they believe
a war wonld result, in destroying these
relatione, and lead ns to rely upon oar
resonroee alone."
He eald the position taken by the
president was ill advised and said
“When 1 read that France, Germany
and Rns9la allied themselves together
against Great Britain, and that the
people of those little Islands, compas-
sed by an Inviolate sea, in defense of
whet they deemed their rights, were
marshaling their armies and assem-
bling their navlee, ready, nndannted,
to faoe the world in arm*, unyielding
end unafraid, I thanked God I was of
the raoe.”
Two important reports were made by
the oommlttee on foreign affaire, one
strongly presenting the serious oondl
tlon of affaire in Turkey and urging
prompt aotion by civilized powers, and
an adverss report on Mr. Call’s reso-
lution calling for offioial dispatches of
ths United States consuls In Cuba.
solution appropriating
arohtteotnral aid In the preparation of!
plans for the Ohtoigo publlo build
logs.
The house adopted the report of the
eleotlon oommlttee In favor of Harry
Minor In New York, in the oontest
brought for hie seat by Timothy J.
Campbell.
Mr. Lorimer, RepublioaD, of Illinois,
asked unanimous consent for conside-
ration of thq senate resolution author-
izing the use of 125,000 of the appro
prlation for the Chicago pnbllo build-
ing for the employment of arohiteota-
ral aid in preparation of plans for the
buildtng.
Mr. Orisp thought if this praotloe
were to b) followed office of super-
vising architect of the treasury should
be abolished. He was not oertaln it
would not be best to allow architects
of the oouatry to ereot all publlo
buildings.
The resolution was amended so as to
provide.that the appropriation should
cover supervision of the constr aotion
of the building, and as amended It was
agreed to.
At 3 o’olook the house ad,j .turned
until tomorrow.

Secretary Olney Will Send Them to the
Home Unsoaompanted by a tutelage,
Washington, Jan. 22—The supposi-
tion that gained some ground Id con-
gress that beoause the Beoretary of
state has not forwarded to congress a
reply to the oall for information and
all documents throwing light apon the
Caban war, President Cleveland has
prepared a message and might an
nonnoe recognition of the belligerents
does not seem to be well founded.
A member of the foreign affairs oom
mlttee, wfio talked with Secretary
Olney this week, says the documents
will be forwarded within a few days
and they will not be aooompanled by a
message. It Is possible, be eald, Seo
retary Olney will hand part of the
doonments, If not all, to the chairman
of the committee, Instead of following
the usual course of sending them to
the speaker to belaid before the hoaBe.

he is on the road to wealth—the world counts him a

Cape Coast Castle. British West
Afrioa, Jan. 22—The following details
of the palaver between Sir Franols
Soott, commander of the British ex-
peditionary force, and Klrg Prempeh
of Ashantee, when the latter made
eubmtesion to Great Britain at Ooomas
sie, has just been received from that
oapital:
Troops formed in (he principle
square of Ooomsssle at 7 o’olock In
the morning, Monday last, preparatory
to the grand palaver. Sir Franols
Soott and staff were seated In a semi-
otrole In the iquare. Shortly after
wards an offloer was sent to the palace
with lnstrnotlone to press upon the
mind of King Prempeh, If he did not
appear before the British commander
within five mlnntes after the summons
he would be taken from the palaoe by
force. The king made a show of re-
etstanoe, bat fiaally aooompanied the
officer, surrounded by an escort, to the
square.
After arriving there, the king took a
seat npon the stool of state. After a
few formal words between the king and
Sir Franols, through interpreters, the
king descended from the stool and
shook hands with the British comman-
der. Then he was tntredaoed to the
British governor, who stated the ne-
gotiations whioh had been oondnoted
between the representatives of Eng
land and Ashantee, ending by Inform-
ing the king be must formally submit
to Great Britain and give ap Immediate
ly 50,000 ounces of gold as an indemni-
ty for the expenses Incurred by tbe
British government In sending the ex-
pedition.
Finally the king replied he was
ready to submit to the British, took
off his orown and sandals and advanced
and placed hie head between the feet
of Sir Francis Soott and those of the
British governor. He said he only
possessed 3800 onnoes of gold and had
no means of oolleottng the 50,000
onnoes.
The governor replied suoh a state-
ment was merely ohtld’a play and the
demands of the British must be com-
piled wltb. The governor aunounoed
that the king, queen, her mother and
the klDg’s father wltb other chiefs of
lmportanoe present would be taken
prisonere under esoort to Cape Coast
Castle. The prisoners were qulokly
removed to a large house whioh was
surrounded by the gnard, and tbe
Ashantee’s were dispersed by tbe
troops.
From the moment the expedition
E?st organized until It reaohed Ooom
assle It was not necessary to fire a
shot. The submission and oaptnre of
King Prempeh will Insure Brit-
ish supremacy la that part of Afrioa
for many years to oome. ills majesty,
relatives and chiefs captured will be
kept at Cape Coast Castle until the
50,000 ouuoee of gold are forthcoming.
Ashantee ambassadors, who are ao
oused of havlDg mislead their people,
will be tried and if fonnd guilty,
severely punished. Near Ooomassle
the British discovered and burned a
notorious eaorlfiolng grove full of
skulls an) bones of vlotlmsof ths king.
Making human sacrifices was one of
the leading complaints which the Brit-
ish had against King Prempeh and
his predecessors, and this praotloe has
now been stopped.
