Washington, Aug. 29—Mr. Voorhees,
chairman of the finance committee,
reported back the honae bill repealing
part of the Sherman act with an
amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute. He asked that the bill he
placed on the oalendarand gave notice
he should ask the senate to take it up
after the morning business from this
time on until final, aotion be
taken.
The substitute, he said, was exaotly
the bill heretofore reported from the
flnanoe oommittee. He understood
notice of an intention to address the
senate has been given by the senator

Mr. Gordon spoke in favor of the on
conditional te;
olinie of the
the substitute whi
involve additional delay; and in the
meantime the condition of the coun-
try would grow more and more alarm-
ing.
Mr. Teller addressed the senate in an
argument to prove that the Sherman
law is not responsible for the financial
trouble of the country.
Without concluding his remarks, Mr.
Teller yielded for a motion to proceed
to executive business and afterwards
the Benate adjourned.
from Georgia, Gordon, and the senator
fri
rom Ohio, Sherman, and he suggested
these remarks might be made on the
bill whioh he had reported.
He explained further that the bill as
reported from the finance committee
was identical with that passed by the
house so fir as concerned the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, and that from that point on, there
was a certain matter in the substitute
whioh was not in the house bill, and
whioh in his judgment improved it and
made it more acceptable.
Mr. Teller—Does the senator pro-
pose to call up this bill today?
Mr. Voorhees—If there be a single
objection it must go over under the
rules.
Mr. Teller—I object.
Mr. Voorhees—Then I have a right
to call up the bill already before the
OQi^fttiO
Mr. Teller—The national bank bill
being before the senate, I have sought
a chance to express my opinion upon it.
Mr. Voorhees—I shall oertainly ac-
commodate the senator by moving to
take up the national bank bill.
Mr. Teller—That bill is up.
Mr. Voorhees—Very well. Let it be
understood the senator from Colorado
objects to this bill being made special
order for today. That question takes
the bill over until tomorrow.
Mr. Harris, a member of the flnanoe
committee, said the substitute just re-
ported was a majority report in whioh
the minority of the oommittee did not
concur. The bill was placed on the
calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr. Stewart was then laid before the
senate. It dlreots the secretary of the
treasury to inform the senate whether
there is a danger of a deficiency in the
revenues of the government for the cur-
rent year, and if so, what is the amount
of such deficiency and whether legisla-
tion is necessary to supply the defloi-
enoy.
The resolution gave rise to a long
disousBion. Senators Sherman, Mills,
McPherson and Harris opposed the re-
solution as calling for problematical
statements as calculated to create
needless alarm or as reflecting on the
secretary of the treasury.
A motion to refer the resolution to
the financial oommittee was made by
Mr. Voorhees.
It was opposed by Mr. Mills and Mr.
Stewart
Mr. Stewart oould see no danger from
the adoption of the resolution. It
contained no manifestation of lack of
confidence in the secretary. What
harm oould be in asking information
as to what the revenues of the govern-
ment for the ourrent year would be.
He was opposed to the system whioh he
thought was now to be inaugurated of
referring to committees all resolutions
oalUng for information.
Mr. Hill said he had not been con-
sulted by the senator from Nevada in
regard to the resolution. Certainly
there was nothing in it to alarm the
country. What was the situation?
There seemed to be some dispute as to
whether congress was to legislate on
the tariff at thlB session. There seem-
ed fa» be no fixed polioy on the subject.
But if there was to be tariff legisla-
tion, it was neoessary to know what
were the anticipated revenues. He bad
such confidence in the secretary that
he was ready to believe whatever sug-
gestion he might make and be (Hill)
should be pleased to hear from him.
Mr. Stewart defended the resolution.
There was a rumor, he said, that there
was a deficiency in the revenue and the
treasury had trouble in paying cur-
rent expenses. There was a rumor the
gold reserve was being paid out for
ourrent expenses and he did not sup-
pose the senate desired that to be
done.
Mr. MoPherson asked Mr. Stewart
it he did not know the Democratic
party was in power in the Benate and
the responsibility was upon it.
Mr. Stewart replied: “No, I know
the party olalms to be in power.
The House.
Washington, Aug. 29—An animated
disoussion over the rules between
Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker Reed
enlivened <the proceedings today. At
times the debate was somewhat per-
sonal and each speaker reoeived the
plaudits of his party friends.
Mr. Aitken offered a resolution provid-
ing for a special oommittee of five
members to investigate the Ford’B
theatre disaster and determine what
aotion be taken for relief of the fami-
lies of the vlotims. Referred to oom-
mittee on rules.
Mr. Catohlngs then oalled up the re-
port of the oommittee oh rules report-
ing the rules fof the present house.
After some disoussion Mr. Catohlngs
conceded there should be general de-
bate and briefly he explained the
ohanges made in the rules.
After a long debate, the subject was
dropped and Mr. Springer introduced
a bill to provide for the ooinage of the
seignorage silver in the treasury. Re-
ferred.
Adjourned until tomorrow.
Senate Finance Committee
Washington, Aug. 29—The senate
oommittee on finance this morning de-
cided to report back to the senate the
WilBon repeal bill with the recommen-
dation that the Voorhees bill already
on the oalendar be substituted for it.
The oommittee also resolved to set
aside the national bank circulation bill
whioh is now unfinished business in
the senate in favor of the Voorhees
bill and to press the latter measure as
rapidly as the temper of the senate
will permit.
The difference between the house
bill and the Voorhees bill is found in
the attachment to the latter of a para-
graph declaring that it is the polioy of
the United States to use both gold and
sliver as money metkls and to preserve
parity.

Las Cruces, N. M., Aug. 29-What
would we do without the “El Paao
Daily Times.” I think some of our
citizens would as leave do without
their breakfast. It has beoome a prime
necessity the same as the butcher's
meat, and as staple as flour. The mall
arrives here every morning at 8 o'clock
and the surging aronnd the postofflce
at that hour, shows how anxious the
as it contemplates the setting aside of
notional bank circulation can only be
carried out through the aid of a
majority of the senate for the national
bank bill oannot be withdrawn or set
aside, save through a majority vote in
favor of the consideration of the repeal
bill.
The silver men in the senate profess
' ;o be indifferent as to whioh bill is con-
sidered by the senate, holding that
the bank bill is almost as objectionable
as the repeal bill. Bat there are indi-
cations that the program will meet
with prolonged resistance nevertheless
and the stiver men say they will fight
repeal at every step.
Chairman Voorhees reported the
Voorhees bill to the senate as a sub-
stitute for the house bill at 12:15 p. m.

the other side. (Laughter.) That la
the condition at this extraordinary

ate. It is the gold party thatolaims
to be in power. We have more eulogy
of toe administration from the Repub-
Uoaue than from the Democrats. If
this resolution had been introdnoed by
an administration Republican there
would have been no objeotion to it.”

are beat again on silver, but the defeat;
