SKN'ATE.
W.suim.ton, Feb 1'). The necessity or
the anxiety of the Democratic Senators to
arrive at some definite agreement on the
subject of the Taritf bill lel to an early ad
journment of the h'enate to lay tlie re
mainuer of the afternoon being spent in a
Democratic caucus as apKtiou oi the fore
noon had been. Durim; the forty minutes
tliat the public aes-doii lasted there was pre
hentel. in compliance with a resolution
adopted lat week, a copy of the correspond
ence bttween the Treasury Department and
the Department of Justice as to whether
silver certiorates issued under the lilund
Allison act of February 2s, l7a, are '-lawful
money" under certain statutes. The opin
ion of the Department of Justice as given to
the Treasury Deputment is that these sil
ver eertiticates "are just what they iurtort
to he," that'they are only lawful money to
the extent that, the art' received for cus
toms taxes and other public due-, and that
they are not lawful money within the.mean
ing'of the statutes cittd.
the opinions of the Commissioner on
Foreign delations in regard tothe Hawaiian
juestioas were presented by the chairman,
Senator Morgan.
The Senate at 11:1-3 o'clock adjourned.
HOCSK OK KKPRKSENTATIVES.
Mr. Poutelle introduced the following res
olution: :' ml, That it is the sense of the House
tliat the I m'-st sacred obligation of Rood
faith, the highest mutual interests of the
I'nited States and the friendly, (iovernmgnt
of Hawaii, the niamest uictares or tne in
ternatiomd comitv and the imperative duty j
of avoiding further risk of complicity in the
incitement of disorder and possible blood
shed in Hawaii, require that the present
United States Minister to the Provisional
Covernment of the Hawaiian Islands be im
mediately recalled and superseded by the
appointment of another Minister, who will
be unhampered by the lamentable dnci
dents of: the recent past, and who will be
ableand willing to represent the '"sincere de
sire" of the people of the I'nited States; "to
cultivate to the lullest extent the friendship
which has so long subsisted between us"
and will '.'constantly endeavor to advance
the interests and prosperity of both Gov
ern ment-j."
The Speaker asked upon what grounds
Mr. Uoutelle claimed the resolution to be
privileged.
Mr Routelle said the resolution was one
of priv ilege for the reason that it related to
the exercise of the war power and the mat
ter re! erred to Congres-j by the President.
Mr. -McCreary made tiie point of order
that it was not'privileged and the Speaker
held the point well taken.
- Mr. Routelle said he was noffVery clear on
the subject himself but inasmuch as the
resolution was a consensus of publicopinion,
both of the press ami of both parties in Congress-,
;v usid unanimous consent for its
immediate passage.
Mr. McCreary objected and the resolution
was referred to the Committee on foreign
A Hairs
Mr. l.ou'elle requested that the commit
tee be a little mor.- prompt and active in the
consideration of the resolution than it had
been on other papers on the same subject.
Mr. Pland moved that the House resolve
itself into Committee of the Whole on
the Seigniorage bid. the debate to close at
1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and the bill to
be further considt red under the live minute
rule, and on the motion demanded the pre
vious question. Without the division the
yeas and nays were ordered on the previous
question, resulting years, 1G3; nays, 5.
This was eleven less than a quorum and Mr.
Bland moved a call of the House. The call
showed members present, and further
proceedings under the call were dispensed
with.
Mr. Bland then cut the gordian knot of
the situation by unexpectedly withdrawing
the pending motion and making one to go
into the Commitiee of the Whole on the
bill.
The chair Without limitation of debate?
Mr. Bland Yes sir.
The motion prevailed yeas, 119; nays, 0,
and Mr. Hatch took the chair.
Thus, quietly and almost without the
knowledge of the members of the House,
the struggle of the past ten days was edded,
and the House entered upon a new course
of business.
The chair recognized Mr. Pence, Topulist
of Colorado, as entitled to the floor and the
new member from the Centennial State at
once secured the attention of the House by
a series of sarcastic pictures of the atti
tude of some of the members of the Re
publican and the Democratic parties to
wards this question. He said that if the
scenes that nave transpired here in the past
ten days could have been foreseen by the
voters of Colorado, not a single Republican
vote would have beeu cast in that State.
The Republicans in Congress, he said, were
supporters of the Democratic administra
tion on financial questions. The President's
.chief lieutenant in' the other end of the
Capitol was a Republican Senator Sher
man as was the eminent and able gentle
man from Maine Mr. Reed in the
House.
Turning to the Democrats. Mr. Pence singled
out Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, who lie said,
last summer had turned his back upon the
convictions -and utterances of tif tern years
ami voted against the silver interests of the
count rv. "And I have no doubt."' he con
tinued" "that he secured full and untram
meled control of the patronage of his dis
trict, if not ot his State."'
Mr. Patterson was just then talking with
Mr. Culbertson. of Texs. and apparently
was paving no attention to Mr. Pence, who
raised his 'usuallv piercing voice to even a
higher pitch as h'e continued: "The gentle
man from Tennes-eein a gentlemanly man
ner de. -lines to. listen to my suggestion. I
think 1 will get his attention m a minute or
two."
-" At tins Mr. Patterson broke off Ins con
yersation with Mr. Culbertson and took a
seat several fet t clcst r to the speaker and
gave him the m ist earnest hearing.
"And now I am informed that after his
action last summer, in the Democratic cau
cus of the Rith instant he suddenly ap
I -eared as the most rampant silver leader,
even going so f ir as to propose a resolution
that any Democrat who relused to vote on
the landing question to make a quorum
shouid be lined . for his failure. As the
gentleman from Kansas (Simpson) said the
other dav, the vote on the pending bill is
being used as a cover for the retreat from
the position of la-t summer."
"When the gentleman returns home,
continued Mr. Pence, "and stands up before
his twin ) tn tnvp an account OI nis new
leadership on the eilyer question with his ;
be a question whether a torchlight procf
I minn in lfor them, a orairie tire nzing. br
a removal of the aurora borealis to the State
of Tennessee." f
Messrs. Bynum and Cooper, of Indiana,
and Oates, of Alabama, were named by
Mr. Pence as among thoe Democrats w&o
wantei to make a new record on the 5ilvt?r
piestion. and in concluding this frtion of
his speech Mr. IVnce saii: "One Sunday
evening not Ions: ago 1 attended the seryices

Mr. Kilgoreof Texas, Oh what areyu
giving us? i
Mr. Pence Where I saw the pentlemn
from Texa. who now aks me what I aa
piving the Ifous?. The text on that 0-cft-sion
was: '"De not deceived. iol is npt
mockeil. Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap.'' I came away fronrthe
services without any especial impressjoai.
but within the past'teu days I have iee
often impressed with the f'-rce of a parp
thrae ot that text, which members ff
botli the dominant parties might well tase
to heart: "Jienot decei'veil. The people are
not mocked. That which a party sows
shall also rerm." I mav he mistaken
this. The same game has been played updo
the jieople manv times, antl especially Umi
the people of" the South. Uepu--licato
laughter.) j
Mr. Pence proceeds 1 for a short time fp
discuss the merits' of the bill, in the course
i of which he saiji that it Was his opiniop
that Mint Director Preston was the jowar
in the Treasury Department, not Secretary
Carlisle. "Mr. Preston has been there
through many administrations too many
administra'ions," tie said. ,
The action of the Republican Representa
tives in f ailing to vote tor the bill under the
leadership ami at the dictation of the gen
tleman from Maine (Ree;l) was referred tp
at some length by Mr. Pence, who said thiit
the minority hail developed some of the
most accomplished, well-rounded and sli"j
pery dnlges any legislative bodjf
had ever seen. He saif that,
assuming the role of a prophot fof
the lirst time, he would state that the next
President would be elected by the House of
Representatives in the Fifty-tifth Congress
ani wlien that occurs he warned the jrentlef
1 man from Maine (Reed), who is now- meas
i uring up on all occasions against Maj. Mr
Kin ev as acanaiuaie ior i resiueni in lv
that he would then rue the past fifteen day
y
in this House. "When the roll is calle'
then, the vote of Colorado will count afr
manv as the vote of New York; the vote of
Montana as many as that of Pennsylvania'
Pence was h-d to dicuss the term mug
wump, and gave his delinition of the term
j which was a cross bet.veen a uepumican
, cuckoo aud a Democratic cuckoo. Jf there
i were no cuckoos, there would be no mugi
i wunips. L-uujhter.
! Mr. Patterson, Democrat, of Tennessee!
1 said that he should pay but the slightest ref
j gard to the personal references to himself
! by the gentleman from Colorado. Personal
criticisms, in his opinion, were out of peace
j on the floor of the House, and but rarely did
; harm unless they were based upon the
; truth. "If there is anythingin theobserva'-j
tion of my friend," said Mr. Patterson, "it
I is that I made a speech last summer in favor
of the repeal of the purchase clause of . the
; Sherman law and against the free and mi
nimi ted coinage of silver. lie thinks that;
' now 1 have seen the error of my way be-
' cause I am in favor of
this bill, l occupy;
i thesame
position .jiawu that J. - o
when the Wilson bill was under con
sideration. I am still opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and against such a bill would now vote.
But I declared last summer that I was in
favor of the coinage of the bullion in the
treasury. If the gentleman had said that I
was opposed to filibustering he would have,
represented me truly. It I had. my way
whenever any member refused to vote on aj
question, and the tact of ins presence being
called to the attention of the chair, he;
should be counted, if necessary to make a
quorum. Cheers on the Republican side. I
am not one of those who would go back on
the Ten Commandments or th Lord's;
Prayer simply becaus either of tlkem has
the endorsement of the gentlerjian from
Maine (Reed )
Mr. Bland took the floor and explained ,
why he bad insisted on an understand as to
the limitation of debate on the bill. He
considered it more important than any
other that would co'me after it, because it
was essential to the putting of money in
the treasury by which the appropriations
passed by Congress should be made availa
ble. Every filibustering motion made on
the bill was a movement to strike from the
labors mouth the bread for which it was
suffering. Cries of Oh no. "Gentlemen
say, 40h no,' " said Mr. Bland, "but the la
boring people will say 'Yes' all the time.
! They know the situation here. In the
1 name of the suffering thousands of the land,
i I appeal to the patriotism of the gentlemen
in the House to pass this bill and provide
the means by which employment may be
given to them."
i At this point, Messrs. Pickler, Republican,
of North Dakota, and Ellis, Republican, of
Oregon, rose and asserted that Mr. Pence
had told" them that he enjoyed seeing the
Democrats in a hole as much as they did.
And Mr. Pickler further asserted that Mr.
Pence had told him that he himself intend
ed to refrain from voting on a certain roll;
call, and wanted to see the bill fall.
The Republicans laughed at this apparent
exposure f the Colorado Populist and Mr.
Pence leaped to his feet, demanding to be
heard. Instantly the House was a scene
of confusion, which the vigorous ham
mering of Mr. Hatch did not repress.
Mr. Pence appealed to Mr. Hepburn for a
couple of minutes, which were granted him.
In an impassioned manner and at the high
est pitch of his voice he denounced the
statement of "the gentleman from South
Dakota, or North Dakota, or wherever he
comes from," and of the gentleman from
Oregon, "whose windings in and windings
out on this quetion no man can follow" as
untrue and utterly without foundation. And
the size of the gentleman.( both !eing consid
erable larger than himself made no ditier
ences to him. he said. Murmurs of disap
probation .vere heard from the Republican
side. He further stated that if the gentle
man from Iowa would yield him five minu
tes or either Mr. Pickler or Mr. Ellis make
a personal explanation so that lie could re
spond, he would detail to tlie House what
he ha d seen and everyone heard going on
for the pist live days. "The gentlemen
cannot shield themselves behind the gentle
man from Iowa in his time."
"Shield themselves from what? shouted
Mr. Pickler at the top of his voice and
shaking his linger across a segment of the
llottse circle atMr, iVnce. T was miking
a tight for silver long before you came to
the House. '
"I ha ve her in my hand," shoute 1 Mr-Tence
in return, "seventeen pages of t ih'ets kept
upon the windings; in and out of the gentle
man on this question."
Mr. Reel moved that the committee rise,
taking occasion, lie said, to respond to the
statements of the gentleman from Mis
souri "that in his opinion the bill would
have been disposed of long ago if it had
been properly managed. And it took a
good deal of courage, he said, for a gentle
man to assert the contrary and endeavor to
place upon his opponents the responsibility
for the results of his own mismanagement.
While he was saying this Messrs. McMil-
hn and Springer were standing behind Mr.
Bland and the latter asked Mr. Reed when
he would agree to coe the debate
"When we get through." answered. Mr.
Hevd. "The gentleman does not seem to
know that the rule is for the Houae to de
bate a subject until it is exhausted and
then vote. It doe? not depend upon me or
the centleman from Missouri when that
shall be done. But."-continued Mr lUud.
"I w;?h the gentleman would give his at
tention to the sirens who are singing behind
him and ask th questions they evidently
want mm to &k. i bate to see so m
pantomime going on."
cn
Immediately Mr. Pence took the floor to
make a personal explanation. There wis
the utmost poMUe m fence throughout the
hall as be rose, and desp'te the sensational
character of the subsequent prck-eedings
there was no disorder apparent In the he
ginning ne rent 1 trie': siateruenis ms1 m
Committee of the Whole bv Messrs. Pickler
and Ellis, attributing to them jointlv the
statement that he (Percej had said he
wouM be glad to --e the pending bill d-
feated. To this Ellis excepted, a he had
not made the assertion. Mr. Pence ac
cerpted the correction and added: "I do not
believe that the gentleman from Oregon
(raus nas mace a statement. taKen any
action or cast a v.te on hi own hook since
Congress mfrt last August."
Mr. Hairier. Republican, of Nebraska,
called Mr. Pence to'order. and he st down.
The words being read. Speaker risp ruled
that they were out of order, and on motion
of Mr. Bailey. Democrat, of Texas, Mr.
Pence was permitted to explain.
Mr. Pence said that what he merit: and
what he would continue to mean by the
words ' on his own hook" vvaa that tlie
member acted upon what he honestly and
individually believed.
Mr. Hainer again called the speaker to
order, saying the explanation but added in
sult to the original statement.
Speaker Crisp, however, ruled that the
explanation had proceeded far enough for
the chair or the House to decide that it was
unparliamentry.
Mr. Pence 1 don't know that a gentle
men who lives as far East as Mr. Hainer
knows just what the expression means out
in our country, but having explained the
meaning as vith us, I will explain it in Eng
lish, as understood in the district of the
gentleman from Nebraska, in the district of
the gentleman from Oregon, in t fie district
of the gentleman from Illinois (Canon,)
from whom I borrowed it originally. The
phrase means that a man throws out his
own hook, with his own bait, to catch his
own hsh, without domination from the
gentlemen from Maine or from any one
else. And now, I am ready to proceed
with the statement I was making when
called to order by the gentleman ; from
Nebraska (Hainer) "who is fuller of beer
than comprehension of my ideas.
Many members jumped to their feet at
this expression, and several of them called
the speaker, to order.
' The chair said it was for the House to de
termine whether or not Mr. Pence should
proceed.
. On the viva vore vote the chair stated that
the ayeg seemed to have it.
. Mr Reed 1 doubt it, and call for a divis
ion. If the House approves that sort of
language; if it thinks that is gentlemanly
,and decent, we ought to know it. !
A di vision showed thirty in favor of allow
ing Mr. Pence to proceed and sixty against
itso he was compelled to take his seat.
And then at 5:25 o'clock p. m.; the House
adjourned.
SENATE. ;
Washington, Feb. 27. Numerous
petition.- were presented in the Senate
to day in relation to the tariff, remon
strating against increase of the tax on
whiskey, against placing wol on the
free list, against the income tax, and
against the whole internal revenue fea
ture of the Wilson bill.
A protest against the practice of sus
pending the execution of an act by the
resolution of one House was made by
Senator Hoar and the resolution was
agreed to.
A resolution inquiring the reasons
why' the census report on manufactur
ers has not been completed and instruct
ing the Secretary of the Interior to fur
nish the;Senate with the most advanced
printed copy of it, was offered by Sena
tor Hawjey and agreed to. The report,
Senator Ilawley said, would be wanted
in the taxiff discussions.
At 12:50 o'clock the Senate proceeded
to the cbnsideration of executive busi
ness and. at 1:25 o'clock adjourned un
til to-morrow.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In his prayer this morning Chaplain
Bagby referred to the illness of Repre
sentative Wilson, of West Virginia, and
asked that he might be restored to health.
Mr, Pence made a personal explana
tion regarding the colloquy between
himself and-Mr. Hainer yesterday.; He
stated that the reporters had misunder
stood'him: that he had said the gentle
man from Nebraska was of full beard, not
beer. He had ex-pressed his regret over
the mistake to Mr. Hainer in a letter,
which the latter had returned to bim,
stating it Was satisfactory, ana had given
him permission to read it as a part ! of
his statement. In the letter Mr. Pence
wrote : '
'When I ailuded to your full beard I
did mvself no credit and you no harm;
but now, to rind that the reporters un
derstood and reportel me as saying you
were full of beer, causes me deep cha
grin and pain. If the members of the
House understood me to use such lan
guage, it is no wonder they refused to
ermit me to proceed. The wonder is,
if they, so underto.M.l it. that I a- not
forthwith censured 'by the Spker and
the House, Such language woum nave
been, not only unparliamentary, hut un
just to you. I sino-rely regret the mis
understanding and fal-e report in the
papers of rnv words, and hasten to so
express mvself to veil and t say that I
sn
di of course try an t set tne maner
in the public pres by a pubPc
t
enient when the tiotisemevrs ;o-.a.
further that he 1 was
p'atisnV-d he owed Mr. Hainer and the
House an apology for the language he
did us?, which was uttered in th- heat
of debate and umh r the excitement of a
charj-- made by another gentleman.
Other previous remarks lie had made in
yesterday's debate might have been
obnoxious for personal allusions con
tained in tiiem. Being informed by
friends of experience that this wasthe
right and proper thing to d he made
the explanation and apologizr-d to Mr.
Hainer and tothe House g'adly. i He
desired to act within the rules of the
House, and it had been suggested that
he aak unanimous consent that thei col
loquy between himself and Mr. Hainer
be expunged from the record. Thij was
granted and the incident closed.
Mr. Coorr, Democrat, of Indiani,
called Mr. Penv attention to the allu
sion nirule to hl-iiself Cxnr) by the Lit
ter yesterday that he had nwi a wp
on the silver question, and &kivi an ex
planation. Mr. Pence said he would jladlv explain
if his preriou explanation and apology
to the Hou did not cover thi. The
gentleman from Indiar.a. by Id rote on
the Wilson repeal bill bl fall had non
trad icted all his previous mxrd on the
silrer question, and now, with certain
other gentlemen, in view of Use fepprch
ing election, in hi pinion. w-;v in favor
of the Bland S igntontge bill.
Mr. CopT replied that he had. pre
viously to this Congress.' votxl for the
fret coinage of silver, but the charge
that his change of opinion cm that qu--tion
wiis due to tie intlueiice or cc in
inahd of the President, or of any person
was unjust and-untrue. The gentleman
froth Colorado was an extensive owner
i stocKs in snver mining corupim ,
and hud a direct j rsonai intcre?i in the
result of pending h gi-lation. If he
would. read 'the- laws of hi e mntrv he
would leirn th'it he had tiu right to take
pari in-the legislation ujhsu the 'bubjtct
of silver.
Mr. Cummings relieved the f-ituation
arid raised a laugh' by remarking that if
it were in order, it would U a good time
for some gentlemen tonpologie for th ir
attacks iqon the New York Democracy.
After the call of committees f r r p rt.s,
Mr. Bland moved that the Hr u-sogo into
Committee of the Whole uH.m his Seign
iorage bill, and that general debate
thereon be closed at 3 o'clock to-morrow. .
No ijjuoruni voted on the dtvi-ien of the
House and dlie yeas and iias were or
dered. The vote was eas, l.T.; -nays, 6;
still ho quorum, and a call of the llmw
was begun. This showed 2-V.J menders
present, and Mr. Bland moved to db-
rise wfith further proceedings under
the call. !
A demand for a division by Mr. Beed
showed !() -ayes and 41 noes, and he de
manded .tellers.
Mr. Bland asked and secured a vote by
yeas and nays, resulting as follows
yeas; 1G3; nays. 9:. and further proceed
ings were disjK'tis-d with.
Mr. Bland chang"d the form of hU
motion then, withdrawing the limita
tion of. debate. Whereupon, objection
to taking up the bill disappeared, and
Mr. Hatch took the chair over the Com
mittee of the Whole.
Mr, Bowers, Republican of California,
was the first speaker. He" declared him
self to bo in f aver of tlie free coinage of
silver," because three fourths of the people
for the Seventh California district
wanted it.
Mri Allen, Democrat, of Mississippi,
after a humorous introduction, pleading
for his remarks the consideration due to
the utterances of an ex-candidato for the
United States Senate,"aid th re seemed
to be an irreconcilable conflict between
the "capitalists and the interests of the
masses of the people of this country. It
had been common for Ropresentativ- h of
the "'capitalistic class to reft r to those
who were in favor of this bill, n dema
gogues, it it oe demagogy tor a man on
this floor, to.be earnestly in lavorol
thdsei measures which he believes to le
for the besit interests of the jeopIe he
represents, and in accordance with their
desires, then I plead guilty to demagogy
and prefer to be a demagoguerather than
something else consider d to le the con
trary.! Now lam not in favor ofscaring
capital or any oneelse,but if the House. is
to be prevented from exercising its c onsti-
tutional functions of outlining a finan
cial pol icy for the Government by the
threat that somebody is going to get
scared, the sooner we declare the cIearL
ing house committee of New York the
only source of financial legislation in
this country the better.
Mr. Cannon. Republican, of Illinois,
said he believed that silver would in the
future, as it had been in the past, be one
of the money metals of the world.
Speaking for himself, as one memUT of
the minority, Mr. Cannon said that he
stood there to use every constitutional
means within his power to defeat any
legislation which, in his judgment,
would result in making two kinds of
dollars in this country. The passage
of this bill in his opinion would make
two kind: of dollars, and cheat labor, in
whose behalf the gentleman from Mis
souri (Bland) yesterday pleaded for tlie
bill, j
Mr. Bryan, Democrat, of Nebraska,
said hi? had no criticism tomakeujion any
man who believed his duty to his con-
RtitiiencY rum uired him to keen silent
and not vote. It had been the practice
for more than 100 years, and was a pafe
guard that should not be legitimately set
aside, i A rule for counting a quorum,
he said, would be invoked in the in
terests of a minority, and not of a maj
ority, i Tlie pending bill, brought up a
conflict of the financial ideas of the Kat
and of the-West and South. The lat
ter might be derided and decried,
but the advocr.N-s of it Ixad a right
to express themselves. The jople of
the West and South believed in bimetal
lism and that the Govern met had a dutv
to perform to the common people as well
as to the financiers, and should exerci---the
option it hokls of discharging obli
gations in i i ti r gold or iher. In c!js
ing, he appealed to the Ipubhiin- of
the Wc-t to reprc-er.t tie? wishes of
tin ir fcp!e a3 the Democrats of th
East did theirs, and to tiand by the bill.
