Washington, Feb. 12. The house comon territories held a warm session over the bills to admit Arisona and New Mexico into the Union. For several weeks it has been apparent that there wu a disposition among some of the opponents of free silver on the committee to postpone favorable reports on these bills, at least for the present, to prevent the increase of the free silver strength In the senate Today the fight culminated, when, while the bill to admit Arisons was under discussion, the committee voted 6 to 5 to adjourn. At was erroneously reported about the house today that the vote was taken on the Arizona bills and that the bill itself had been defeated. Although as stated, the opponents of free silver were responsible for the postponement of action on the bill, all opponents of free coinage on the committee were not in favor of deferring action. Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania, the chairman; Mr. Perklna of Iowa, (rep.) and Mr. Turner (dcm. Va.) who voted against the motion to adjourn are also opposed to free coinage. Those who voted to adjourn were Had-leKnox, Taft, Lowe, Harrison and Owens. Messrs. Avery and Cooper voted against adjournment in addition to those named. Messrs. Harris and Leferve were absent.

Champion Washington, D. C., Feb. 8. The debate on the free coinage substitute for the House bond bill was very spirited today. There were several strong speeches and one, at least, of a somewhat sensational character. Mr. Towne of Mlnne ota, a republican, claimed the attention of the house and galleries for over an hour with an eloquent effort on behalf of free coinage, which won for him a personal ovation such as has not been accorded any member aince the session began. Hia speech was illustrated with charts, and aroused unbounded enthusiasm among the silver forces. Mr. Hall, a democrat from Missouri, on the other hand, announced hia conversion to sound - money in a rather sensational speech, in which he charged that eight senators who voted for free coinage, according to credible information, had privately said that they believed free coinage would bring upon this country national and Individual bankruptcy and ruin. He charged them with trying to feather their neats at home, and declared that the greatest sin of the present age was the cowardice of statesmen. He also declared that a high officer of the administration had said that the silver agitation had already cost the government $26200100 In bond issues, and in the course of twelve months the bond issue would Increase to $ixxvooomo. Mr. Hall voted for free coinage in the last Congress. The general debate will close Monday and the vote will be taken on Tuesday. The legislative day of yesterday atlll continued, as the house had been in recess ail night. Corliss and Boatner spoke In favor of While . Bartlett was speaking, Boatner, by reference to the defeat of Silver Dollar Bland, General Hatch and other silver leaders, drew forth an indignant protest against the treacherou manner in which gold democrats had stabbed in the back democratic candidates who differed from them. 'Witness, said he, contemptuously, the scenes daily being enacted in Kentucky. When did it become democratic doctrine to defeat democratic candidates? The situation in Kentucky, replied Boatner, only illustrates the destroying effect of democrats refusing to stand by their party platform. If the silver democrats would abie by the declaration of the party made in convention we would not today be threatened with the loss of a senator from that state. We are threatened with the loss of a senator in Kentucky, retorted Bartlett, because men who are not in the majority seek to control. I want to say that whether in the majority or the minority wherever the democratic flag floats, there will be my stand. If the democratic national convention adopts a gold platform and nominates a gold candidate, interposed Mr. Skinner (rep. N. C.), will you support the ticket?" 1111 vote for any man, replied Bartlett, whom a majority of democrats nominate in convention. Then you are willing to sacrifice the interests of the people on the altar of party?" I am willing to forego, temporarily, a consumatlon whlph must eventually come and can only come through the democratic party. At noon the house went through the formality of adjourning and reconvening the debate on the bond bill then proceeding. Mr. Groavenor said that the republican party, in response to the cry of free silver republicans, proposed to do something for silver. proposed 0 do something for the American people by righting the wrong done them by democratic tariff legislation in the last congress. The party would do something for a million wool growers instead of an hundred Wc have not a silver mine in California," Interrupted Mr. Johnson (rep Cal.) You're right," retorted Mr. Groavenor, and you might add that California is the most prospective gold state in the . Union. . That shows we are willing to do something for the rest of the country, aid Johnson. "At our expense," shouted Mr. Walker mine-owner- s. rep. Mass.) Mr. Groavenor called attention to a circular to eastern manufacturers signed ty sixteen free silver republicans, containing a covert threat against the protective system If they did not favor Mr. Grosveaor ridiculed the threats of the silver senators, and adduced some figures to show that they were powerless to execute their threats. Those senstara represented but 16 votes in the electorlal college out of 444, He 266 elec to rial votes predicted republican for sound finance and protection. If the election should be thrown into the house he said, the victory of the sound money candidate ' was certain. republican Threats of splits nnd fusions would be futile and unavailing. He was concluding an eloquent passage about loyalty to the grand old republican party when Mr. Owens (dem. Ky.) asked if he was peaking about the same republican party that had a few days ago auctioned off the republican national convention, Great God, replied Mr. Grovesnor, looking about the house, let us hear something about honest elections. Laughter. Is it the same party? asked Mr. Miles (dem. Md.) which has just made a deal with the populists in the senate to secure control of the machine over there? It was compelled to take possession of the machine your party waa smashing," replied Mr. Groavenor. Is it the same party, asked Mr. Owens, returning to the assault; which signalised its return to power in the Senate by tending us the free coinage bill we are now considering? Laughter. I have just been paying my respects to some of the Republican Senators, If there is replied Mr. Groavenor. anything in the situation there which can furnish comfort to the sound money Democrats, you are welcome to it. Republican applause. Mr. Evans (Rep. Ky.), Mr. McCreary (Dem. Ky.) and Mr. Hepburn (Rep., Ia.) followed in favor of The latter said that the republican party was the only party that by its deeds had shown its friendship for silver. Are you willing to restore free coinage of silverf asked Mr. Lirington free-live- r. (dem. Ga.) Yes, replied Mr. Hepburn, when you restore the condition that existed in the days of the 'dollars of the daddies. Then 412 grains of silver were coined into a dollar, but silver was worth $1.29 an ounce. In concluding, he ridiculed these bewildered democrats who denounced the attitude of Mr. Cleveland. No Democrat," said he, has been more consistent, merely adhesive to his announcement, than he. In 1885, before his first inauguration, he declared against the silver heresy. In all his utterances since he has adhered to that position. In May, 1892, he reiterated his position for the fifth time. You know, said he, addressing the Democratic side, that he could not carry out your platform except at the price Yet of perjury and personal dishonor. you now pretend that you were deceived. Mr. Towne (rep., Minn.) illustrated his remarks with charts. Twice the house gave him an extension of time, and his remarks aroused great enthusiasm among the silver forces. His charts showed the appreciation of gold and the fall of prices. One chart, upon which he had laid especial stress, demonstrated, he saia, that the fall in the price of silver since 1873 was not due to the of silver. .Mr. Towne closed with the declaration that the republican party must define its, programme and do something for the reatoration of silver. The United States could unite with France and Germany, if England refused. Mr. Towne was given a tremendous ovation when he concluded. For several minutes the free silver members crowded about and tendered him their congratulations. over-productio- n Faas porta for JHva Barits. Constantinople, Feb. 10.

Washington, Feb. 9. The belated tariff bill emerged from the finance committee today and made Its appearance In the Senate soon after the session opened. Chairman Morrill made the rejiort, stating that a free silver amendment had taken the place of the original bill, and adding, anild laughter, the closing phrase of official procedure of Massachusetts, and may God save the commonwealth. Mr. Quay made two attemps to have the bill recommitted to the committee, with Instructions to report back separate tariff and free silver bills, but waa cut off by parliamentary objections. His resolution for recommittment will come up, under the rules, tomorrow. A sharp (contest occurred at l o'clock between the senators favorable to advancing the appropriation Mils and those desiring to take up general The latter element prevailed in two test votes, and the right of way was secured by the resolution of Mr. Dubois of Idaho, to reform the method of considering appropriation bills by dlstrlb-Inthem among the several committee. This was strenously resisted by the friends of the appropriation committee, who contended that the change was revolutionary and designed to dismantle the committee. The final vote was not reached, but It was evident from the debate and incidental votes that a majority favored the change. Among the bills Introduced In the Senate today were the following: By Mr. Cannon, for the annexation to Utah all that portion of Arizona lying north of the Colorado river and west of the eastern boundary of Utah. Mr. Davis, to amend tle Indian depredation act so as to permit the payment of claims for losses by Indian raids to those persons who have declared their intention of becoming citizens. 1 legia-latio- n. g Washington, Feb. 9. Senator Shoup has visited the treasury department for the purpose of securing a speedy payment to the Nes Perce Indian of the Interest on the $ixxyMO still due them. Senator Shoup was assured that in the near future the matter of the payment of this interest money would be taken up for settlement The treasury, department, owing to pressure of other business, as well as to the fact that the Nez Perce have but recently received large sums of money and are not in actual need, has delayed settlement in this case, but promises to make proper payment in a reasonable time. Senator Shoup will endeavor to have inserted in the urgent deficiency bill an cm for the payment of something over $3,000 for public surveys in Idaho. The contract was let in 1893, but onaicoun-o- f delay in forwarding papers to Wash Ington, the money appropriated lapsed into the treasury. Senator Shoup's object Is to have this money reappropriated. Senator Clark of Wyoming today reported adversely the bill providing that no person shall be eligible to be assignee or receiver of a bankrupt corporation who had been an officer or employee of that corporation within three years prior to the bankruptcy.
