Financial Straw Thoroughly Threshed in the Closing Debate, Many Senators Enter the Discussion on Both Sides. No Demonstration When the Vote Was Announc ear senator Wolcott's Advocacy df the Measure. 1. , wasnington, Jan. 28. The Teller bond resolution, declaring United States bonds payable in standard silver dollars, passed the senate by a vote of 47 to 32 at seven o'clock tonight There was no demonstra tion when the vote was announced. The senate immediately thereafter adjourned until Monday. Several-- amendments, pro posed during the last hour, containing provisions modifying or nullifying the sil ver text of the original resolution, were speedly defeated. v Senator Stewart, of Nevada, began the day's debate. He was followed by Sena tors Cannon, - Jones, of Arkansas, White, Wolcott, Chilton, Gray, Bacon, Tillman, Warren, Butler and Rawlins in favor of the resolution, and by Senators Fairbanks, Foraker, Nelson, : Allison, Hawley, Gallin ger, Elkins and ullom against it. . Senator Wolcott, in his advocacy of the resolution, asserted it had nothing to do with the question of the bill for the un limited coinage -of silver: "It" was . resolu- Uon --which, tore -down the".l'egaf 'principle edness. The people of the west might be trusted with the ' national honor. They never votea, never wouia vote, to pay a national debt m any but the best money. Senator Jones criticised thev position tak en by Senator Allison. He thought the res olution would squarely align -' those who held various financial beliefs. "I believe," he said, "that the people's conviction upon this question of bimetal lism is more firmly fixed than ever before. Tbey are determined to restore silver to its status before 1873 and we will do-all . we can to accomplish this result. We shall march in a solid phalanx, with shields locked, down to tbe day of our doom in our efforts for the restoration of silver, and the republican cries that silver is dead will fall upon deaf ears." Senator Cannon said that if there was no other reason for his supporting the reso lution, he would vote for it "to serve no tice UDon every, creditor of the United States that he should live up to the con tract he had entered into with the gov eminent." . . The debate closed with a speech by Sen ator Aldrich. leader of the opposition. He 1 characterized the resolution as a "miser able. Ineffectual affair-'- saying, fits ad mitted . purpose is ,to divide, distract and defeat the Opponents of - free coinage. It has no purpose except that. - We intend to meet this issue courageously.

WAR GLA1 BILL PASSES HOUSE VOTES $288,000 TO METH ODIST CHURCH AGENTS- Strong Majority in Favor of the Measure-A Flash of the Light of Fraternal Uniiy - k . Washington, Jan. 28. By a. vote of 188 to . 67 tflie house( to-day paisaed the bill .ap propriating $288,000" to pay tthe Methodist church, south, for damages sustained by the seizure of its publishing house at Nashville, Tenn., by the Union army 1863, without referring the claim to in the court of claims. This bill has 'been before the house on bwo previous Fridays, on which days the pri vate calendar was the order of business under the rules. .An attempt to head it off by interposing the District of Columbia appropriation bill failed 3y a large -majority early in the session, and the bill was discussed under an agreement to vote ait 4 o'clock. The measure was antagonized by Repre sentatlve Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Ding ley of Maine, Hepburn of Iowa and Con nelly of Illinois, and advocated by Repre sentative- Dolliver of Iowa, and Grosvenor of Ohio. The speeches of the latter two aroused much enthusiasm, - recognizing as they did, the existence of a new condition of things, when the Aimeri-oan congress could dispose of 'this class of claims in the dawning light of fraternal unity, and not in the darkness of the old bitterness of antagonism and strife. At 4:20 o clock the house took a recess until 8. ( " The evening session was -devoted to pri vate pension bills. ,- CHIEF JAMES ELIGIBLE Not . Debarred From the Position of '- Police .Justice.
