Vote Will be Takeq Upon the Measure To-morrow Morning. LENTZ'S SENSATIONAL SPEECH Dramatic Scene Trap Set by Republican Leaders for Minority, to Show That 'Discord Existed On Money Ques tion An Amendment. - By Telegraph to the Horning Star Washington, Dec. 16. The six days debate upon the currency bill closed in a sensational manner. The Republican leade.s had evidently seta trap for the minority to show that dis cord existed on the money question, and it was timed so as to make the scene as dramatic as possible. Just at the cl03e of the debate to day, three of the heavy weights Ge eral Gros venor of Ohio, Mr. Dalzell of Penn sylvania, and Mr. Doliiverof Iowa were put forward to call the attention of the country to the fact that in the ong debate very little had been heard about free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 from the minority side of the House. and that no one had offered an amend -ment containing such a proposi tion. Air. Grosvenor said it was one of the evidences of the com ing regeneration or me uemocratic party. Mr. Richardson, the minority eader. indignantly denied any inten tion of abandoning silver and call ed "attention to the fact that un der the special order under which the House was operating neither a substitute nor a motion to recommit was in orders Then Mr. Dalzell chal et! ged a member of the opposition to offer a free coinage amendment. In response half the Democratic member-' ship rose and demanded the privilege, but here and there was an Eastern Democrat shouting his disapproval. There were cries of "Bluff" from the Democratic side, but the Republicans, after the parliamentary obstacles had been removed, through Mr. Overstreet who was in charge of the bill, asked unanimous consent for an amendment to the rule to permit the amendment to. be offered. Then Mr. Driggsand Mr. Levy, two New York Democrats, blocked the game with objections. No amendments were offered tc the bill to day and only one section of the bill was read. The whole time was occu pied in five minutes speeches. The incidents of the day were sensational speeches by Mr. Lentz, Democrat of Ohio, denouncing the prosecution of the war in the Philippines and charging an alliance between Great Britain and the United States to sub vert liberty one in' South Africa and one in.the Orient and an attack upon the memory of ex-President Hayes by Mr. Clark, Democrat, Missouri. Mr. Brown, an Ohio Republican, warmly defended the memory of Mr. Hayes. Vote Will be Taken Monday. The vote upon the Currency bill will be taken immediately after the reading of the journal on Monday. Mr. Over street, in charge of it, says it will have thirty-five majority. He says eight Democrats will vote for it and seven will not vote either way. The debate was enlivened by a bout between Mr. Brown, Republican, Ohio, and Mr. Clark, Democrat, Mis souri, over the latter's references to the late President Hayes. . Mr. Brown paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Hayes. In reply Mr. Clark declared that Mr. Hayes was a "counterfeit President," for whom he had a supreme contempt, even though he was dead. "He stole the presidency," said he savagely, "the KitaMai. tnuiD ixi iiiB uae oi ume. l wish he could have lived forever and borne the scorn of decent men to the end of the world. His sepulchre should bear the words: 'This man was guilty of the monumental crime against hu man liberty.' Now." concluded Mr. Clark as he returned to his seat, "if they can make anything of that let them make it" Mr. nii-b-'a m were received in silence on both sides of the House. Lentz's Sensational Speech. Mr. Lentz, of Ohio, charged that the pending bill had been prepared by the 3,600 national banks, a secret combi nation that wielded more influence than the Masonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows and the Red Men combined. The bill was intended to increase power of the National banks. All the rest that was in it was already in the law. As he proceed-d, Mr. Lentz's remarks became sensational. "We are in fa vor of renominating Willaam Jen nings Bryan." said he "and wa .nil put in a plank against trusts, we will put in a plank against imperialism, and we will put in a plank against the British alliance an alliance that is now open and apparent (Applause on the Democratic side.) They are shooting down liberty in South Africa while you are shooting them in the Philippine islands. (Applause on the Democratic side.) That is evidence sufficient that both governments are operating upon parallel lines. Th the Orient of the United fitata., ttS r" .

Bbyan." j Dearmond's Amendment, j Mr. Dearmond closed the debate on the Democratic side. He declared that the minority side, believed that the bill was designed to create a huge, far reaching and all-pervading national bank trust He had read an amendment providing that it should be unlawful for any bank, under its provisions, to combine with any other, bank for the purpose of increasing . or restricting the coin ia circulation, credit or in terest.. That amendment Mr. Dear mond said, if adopted,- might help to prevent the friction of the scheme in this bill. By this bill the government would issue ; no more money.- - Its issue was to be turned over by it to the banks, so long as they operated the power in the interest of them selves and the Republican party. Exciting and Dramatic. The scenes attending the. close of the debate were exciting and dramatic. When Dearmon concluded, but twenty minutes remained, before the debate was to close under the rule. Mr. Rich ardson, the minority leader, protested against what he assumed" to be the purpose bf the Republicans to take that time to close the debate. He de manded the regular order. Thereupon Mr. Grosvenor, Republican, Ohio, got the floor for five minutes, which he oc cupied in taunting the Democrats for their evident desire to abandon free silver at 16 to 1. During the six day's debate, he said, the House had heard no arguments for free silver, and he humorously hailed it as a sign of the coming regeneration of the party. In conclusion he said 'that out of the de bate had come the -settled conviction on both sides of the House that the enactment of the pending measure would put into law the policy which had governed and guided the country for nearly thirty years. Mr. Richard son indignantly denied Mr. Grosven or's assertion of tha proposed aban donment of the issue of free silver. He said that if the gentleman from Ohio had followed the debate he must have heard some strong speeches in favor of free silver. He called atten tion to thejact that but one section of the bill had been read, and charged that the special order whieh did not permit the offering of a substitute or a motion to recommit, had been framed for the especial purpose of pre venting the offering of a free silver substitute. "Does the gentleman desire to offer such a substitute?" asked Mr. Over street, Republican, Indiana. "The rule was framed to prevent one from doing so and the debate has been deliberately conducted with the same end in view," responded Mr. Richard -ardson. The Republicans laughed de risively as Mr. Richardson went on to cnaractenze Mr. ttrosvenor's covert charge as a cheap attempt at political capital which was beneath the dignity of a great party. He inveighed against the hypocrisy of the other side. "You tied our hands," said he, "in the be ginning. This bill is a bill to establish the gold standard and break down bi metallism forever. The free coinage of silver is not involved." Then Mr, Dalzell, Republican, Penn sylvania, took the floor, and in half a minute the House was in a furore. He pointed out that any Democrat could have demanded the reading of the bill, and alluding to Mr. Richardson's charge of hypocrisy, he waked the echoes as he said. "I hurl back the charge. "You do not dare," he shouted, shaking his finger defiantly at the other side, "not one of you dares or would dare, if you had the opportunity,- to offer a free coinage amendment and risk a vote pon it No gentleman on the other side is so much a leader that he would dare ex pect to rally nis cohorts upon that proposition." A dozen Democrats inmnnl tn f,; feet as Mr. Dalzell concluded. Mr Bailey, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Suiter of New York, and Mr. Williams of Mississippi, were all clamoring for recognition, but Mr. Hepburn, Re publican, Iowa, who was in the chair, recognized Mr. Dolliver. The Iowan looked across- the aisle when order had been restored. "Before I begin " said he blandly, "I will agree to yield the floor if any gentleman on the other side desires to offer a free coin age amendment" Almost half the Democratic side seemed to rise en masse. Mr. Bailey was foremost "I ask it." he called. "lastly; I ask it," shouted others amia wild cheers on the Democratic j n" OI us sk the privilege, amajI aX TT7.ii i: ii . mu. wiiiiams, wecnaiienge i.ur mo opportunity." waning aown one of the side aisles came Mr. Driggs, Democrat of New York, shouting, "I object" "I ob ject "Does the gentleman want any fur ther evidence, called Mr Williams.

Mr. Linney tells me that the Bel lamy contested election case is one of the most peculiar in his recollection. He savs as there is no contestant Mr Dockery having admitted that he was not elected, the only course open, if Mr. Bellamy loses his case, is to de clare the election null and void, and order another one.
