But The Debate on It Drills Intoa Db» ■ mission of Affairs in Alabama—Mr. Allen Consumes Two Honrs in the i Reading of Depositions in Proof" of Election Frauds in That State—Sen ators Pugh and Morgan Undisturbed By His -Affidavits and Statements. Washington, D C., Feb 11.—Mr, Hill introduced a concurrent resolution | declaring it to be the sense of Congress j that “the true policy of the government j requires that its efforts should be steadi | ly directed to the establishment of a sale j system of bi metallism, wherein gold and | silver may be maintained at a parity, j and every dollar coined or issued by the United States; but if our efforts to estab lish or maintain such bi metal ism shall not be wholiy successful, and if, for any reason, our silver coin shall not here after be at parity with gold and silver and the equal thereof iu value and power in the market aud in payment of debts, then it is hereby declared that the bonds of the United States, now or hereafter issued, which by their terms are payable iu coin, shall, nevertheless, be paid in standard gold dollars, it being the policy .of the United States that its creditors shall, at all times, be paid in the best money in use.” This resolution wire followed by one offered by Mr. Stewart (Bop.), of Ne vada, declaring that there is no authority of law to buy gold eein iu preference to silver coin for auy purpose whatever. Iu the regular course ot procedure one or these resolutions will come before the Senate in the morning hour tomorrow. The Pool -og Bill. The postoffice appropriation bill was then taken up, Seuator Butler giviug notice that when it was disposed of he would ask to have the pooling bill taken up. The first amendment which led to a discussion was the oae increasing tho appropriation for railway postoffice car service from $3,105H?00 to $3,205,000 and to add these words. ’‘Said sum shall be expended under the direction and in the discretion of the Postmaster General and any provision of -existing law in conflict herewith is hereby repealed.” Mr. Ixdge (Rep.), of Massachusetts, made a point of order against this pro vision on the ground that it was general legislation on aa appropriation bill. Mr. Lodge argued that the adoption of the amendment would, in connection with the next amendment (to strike out j tbe item “for necessary and -special fa cilities on trunk lines from Springfield, Mass., to Atlanta and New Orleans”), throw into bands of tbe PostmasterOen eral the rigfc: to put the Southern fast mail rcute where he pleased. To that he strongly objected, because that should lie settled by Congress. Mr. Blackburn, in charge of the bill, defended the amendment. He was ask ed by Mr. Lodge whether it was the purpose to abolish the fast Southern mail service. He admitted that it was and said that there was only one route in the country that gets this subsidy. The post office department had never recommend ed it, and tbe Postmaster General had asked Congress to abolish it, for the reason that it was an absolute detriment instead of a service. Mr Ix)dge said that the Southern Cast mail service had been of vast benefit, and that he did not want to see it abol ished. Mr. Allison opposed the amendment as a radical and unwise change of exi-t ing laws Affairs in Alabama. | Mr. Allen drifted from the discussion of postoffice matters to t hat of affairs in j Alabama, which had been, Mr. Allen I said, for the last two or three years, de- J prived of a republican form of govern i ment When Mr. Allen had spoken about I ten minutes he was interrupted by Mr. I Chandler, when such a question was be | iug discussed as whether a sovereign j State of the Union had a republican form ' of government or not, there ought to be ; a quorum present iu the Senate. He j suggested the absence of sueh a quorum. The roll was called and fifty-two Sen j ators responded eight, more than a | quorum. Mr. Allen then proceeded with his | speech. He gave what purported to he j statistics of the election iu the “Black j belt” counties iu Alabama in August, I 1894, showing county by county, the j number of votes counted*, the number : actually cast (estimated) and the num ber of fraudulent votes (estimated)—the aggregate being 50,080 votes counted, 15,315 voted actually cast and 34,765 fraudulent votes. Mr. Alien held the floor for two hours, most of the time being consumed in the reading of depositions in proof of elec- | tion frauds in Alabama. Thete was lit tle, if any, attention givt*n to the subject I by Senators. The two Alabama Senators (Pugh and Morgan) s it quite near to the desk from which Mr. Alien spoke, but did not seem ; to be at all worried about his affidavits • and statements—Mr. Morgan occupying himself with his correspondence and Mr' Pugh having only the appearance of one who was tho oughly bored At 5:80, Mr. Allen, without having finished, and saying that he eo Id not d> so before 8 o’clock, yielded t,Ui floor -■* ■*" A resolution the Commit teeonlndiau Affairs to continue dur ing the recess the investigation iuto In dian schools, Indian reservations, etc . was reported and referred to the C m mittee on Contingent Expenses. It was immediaUiy reported back favor *hh j from that committee, and was placed on i the calendar. A call of the rolls showed the presence of only 29 Senators—ls le-s than a quo | rum, and the Senate, , at 5:45, adjourned until to morrow. THE DiY IN THE HOUSE.

Why He Wanted Clerk*. 1 n the eourse of the discussion upon j the paragraph of the bill providing for J session oommitteeclerks,Mr. Yanvoorhis, j (Rep.), of Newr York, advocated their j employment on the ground th t more { brains were necessary in the financial i committees, aud that if the chairman could Dot find out the facts connected with the recent negotiations for bonds, which he declared to be suspicious on its face, some brainy clerk might be able to do so. Senate bill was passed authorizing the coinage of gold and silver at the Denver mint. The’Senate amendments to tho Chica go $4,000,000 public building were con curred in on motion by Mr. Durborrow, (Dem), of Illinois, and the bill now goes to the President.

Staten island, Feb 11 li t G-isc >gi e is safe. j The big French bner 8 days overdue ' dropp* d anchor at the bar just before i midnight, all well on board, and a sigh i of relief goes up from two continents ; The delay was due to a broken piston . ro<l and to tbe terriffic gales which have swept the North At antic for the past i week or more, and brought d saster •to many a staurclr craft. Captain B&udelon and officers and crew on La i Gascogne brought the ship and passen gets through the gales and made port i without help. From the time they left Havre, on January 26th, they spoke I no Trans-Atlantic steamer aud saw only a four mast schooner, the one which j reported at St Pierre Miquelon, N S , as having seen a large steamer off the hanks apparently in distress last Satur day. The United Press lug was the first to reach tho disabled steamer and lay along side half an hour and the following story of the trip was obtained: The steamer left Havre January 26 On the first day out 449 miles w. re logged; on the second da\ 407 miles; on the third day aft»>r traveling 380 miles, the pis ton rod broke, and 18 hours were spent in making repairs. When thev were completed the ship steamed at 9 mdeß an hour, making in all 66 miles on the 29th. On the B<>th, 31st and Ist, 215, 255 and 2«0 miles a day were made respectively. On Feb-uarv 3. the piston rod broke down again The break was more serious this time. Sea anchors wire put out, ami for 41 hours the ship was hove to making repairs. On the 4th, the first severe weather was ex p rienced, and the ship was blown 150 miles out of her course, on the sth ti e repiirs having been completed, 103 m’les were made. The ship was then clear to the northward of ♦he track of the trans Atlantic steamers, and she was therefore not seen by the many steamers which passed over the regular track. On Feb ruary 6fh, 160 miles were made. On the 7th the machinery broke down for the third time. The heavy cycloue struck her on that day and the ship lay hove to with sea anchors out all day. No head way was made and owing to the motion of the ship repairs were difficult The next day the chief engineer, which bad been at his post for a day and night completed the rep irs and the ship proceeded 131 miles Oo the ninth of the mom h for the fourth time the machinery broke down and only 14 miles wi re made. On the 10th 150 miles and today to the great rejoicing of all on board land was sight ed and the ship crept up to her anchor age off the bar. Sighted at Noon. Quarantine, 8.

How the News Received. j New York, Fob 11 —The news that | La Gascogne had been sighted was re- I ceived aiuid the greatest excitement at : the offices of the French line in Bowling I Gr. en. The cabin office was crowded j with anxious inquirers who have rela tives and friends on board that steam ship. They had been standing around ; with (ale fa es expecting at any moment to hear the worst. When the word came that the ship was safe, for a moment a stillness reigned wh eh was almost painful iu its intensity. Agent Forget for a moment was ren dered speechless, which evidenced how anxious he had been for the safety of j La Ga-togne. Then he regained hims* If and became wildly hilarious. He shout- | ed, ran here and ehere, grasping the hand of this one and that one and fairly junqied up and down over the floor in the excitement of the moment. Then he put ou h’s coat and started for the French line pier where a tug had been in readiness for days to take him to met t La ‘•aseogne should she be sighted. Sev eral of the anxious ones waiting for news started from the office to board the tug with Mr. Forget. Mmy wet eyes could be seen in the PRICE FIVE CENTS.

At the opening of court this morning Judge Grnescup announced that he him self had been to see Mr. Coe and that it was bis opinion that the sick juror would not be able to leave his bed for at least two weeks and perhaps not then. ( ounsi 1 for both sides had aconferenee with Judge Grosscup in the latter’s chambers on theadvi*ability of going on with ll jo rors. 11 was the best judg ment of counsel with the exception of District Attorney Black that this could not he done without invalidating the trial and in this opinion Judge Gross cup informally concurred. All the testimony for the government is in and part of that for the defense, ihe trial Inis been in progress for over two weeks. Both sides are well satisfied wi*h the present jury and would go on if it could be done legally. It. was sug gested that another juror be selected and permitted to read the proceedings up to date, and make oath that he had a fair knowledge of them, but it was decided that this could not be done. The defense is still after George M. Pullman Secretary Weinsheimor of the I ullman Company, has been subpienaed to tell what he knows about Mr. Poll man’s allodged dodg : ng of serviee.
