1 .
Only One Sound Mioney Democrat Who
. “'as l'ot Won Over to the Support. of
Teller -- Seven 7 Republicans Aligned
Against Their Party.
VVashingtOn, Jan. 29.—,—By a vote of 47
yeas to 32 nays or a. majority of 15,
the United States Senate has declared
that the bonds of the United States
are payable in standard silver dollars,
and that such payment is not in vlo-
lation of the public faith or in deroga-
tion of the public credit. '
7, The result was reached shortly be—
fore 7 o’clock last evening after nearly
nine hours of steady and exhaustive
debate.
The intense interest: manifested in
the final roll call can best be illustrated
by the statement that every Senator of
the seventy-nine who voted was in his
seat when his name wasfirst uttered
by the clerk. The galleries, too, were
thronged, as, indeed, they had been
all day, and the floor of the Senate
was crowded with members of the
House who, despite the lateness of the
hour, remained until the question at
issue was settled.
Of the‘ forty—seven Senators who
made up the affirmative column twen-
ty—nine were Democrats, seven were
Populists, three were Silver Republi-
cans, seven were Republicans who
have hitherto been aligned with the
administration and one was an inde-
pendent, Mr. Kyle of South Dakota.
The negative vote was composed ex-
clusively of Republicans, with one ex-
ception, Mr. Caffery of Louisiana. . Of
all the so-called gold Democrats, in-
cluding Mr. Gray and Mr. Lindsay, Mr.
Caffery was the only one to remain
faithful to the a..ti- -Silver cause to the
end.
Of all the amendments offered that
proposed by Senator Lodge, to the ef-
fect that the bonds should be paid out
in gold or its equivalent, received the
least support, only 24 Senators voting
for it. while 53 voted against it. It
was Senator Hoar who proposed that
bonds should not be paid in depreciated
currency or in anything save the best
money in the world, but this also was
voted down by an adverse majority of
Ten. In fact, the gnly amendment
which commanded favor was Senator
N elson’s, which declared for the main—
tenance of the parity between the two
metals, and as against 42 votes to lay
this on the table there were 37 nega-
tives.
It will be seen therefore that the sil-
ver majority in the Senate was at all
times in a confident position.
The resolution is a. practical reaffirm-
ation of that of Stanley Matthews in
1873 and is as follows:
“That all the bonds of the United
States issued or authorized to be issued
under the said acts of Congress here-
-..__.. H"~
and interest, at the option of the Gov-
ernment of the United States, in silver
dollars of the coinage of the United
States, containing 4121-2 grains each
of standard silver, and that to restore
to its coinage such silver coins as a
legal tender in payment of said bonds,
principal and interest, is not in viola.-
tion of the public faith, nor in dero-
gation of the rights of the public cred-
itor.”
The original Stanley Matthews reso-
lution, of which Mr. Teller’s is an ex-
act copy, was passed in the Senate on
January 25, 1878 by 43 yeas and 22 nays.
with 11 Senators absent. Only seven
Senators who were present and then
voted upon the resolution are now in
oflice. Those who voted for it were _Al-
lison, Jones of Nevada, Morgan and
Teller. Senator Morrill voted against
it. Cottrell of Missouri was paired
in favor of it and Mr. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts was paired against it with the
late Senator Harris.
END OF‘THE DEBATE.
The President's Speech at the New York
Banquet Criticized.
“'ashington, Jan 29.—In accordance
with agreement the Senate convened at
10 a. in. yesterday. The day was de-
voted chiefly tc‘speecheo: in favor of
the resolution although Senators Bur-
rows and Fairbanks both made clear
and able arguments against'it. The
morning was given up to long speeches.
By unanimous consent the routine
business was waived and Mr. Stewart
(Nev.) opened the last day’s discussion
of the Teller resolution. In support-
ing the resolution Mr. Stewart main-
tained that money, whether it be silver
or gold or paper, was a creature of law,
the creation of money being inhrent in
all independent nations. He said that
this satement had been upheld by the
highest of tribunals and cited histori-
cal instances of such creation of mon-
ey. .
7 After a legal discussion of the money
question Mr. Stewart said in referring
to the speech of President McKinley
in New York Thursday night, that he
regretted to see that the President had
not studied this question more deeply
and that he was utterly misguided. I-Ie
quoted the following sentence from the
President’s speech:
“Nothing should eyer tempt us—
nothing ever will tempt us—to scale
down. the sacred ,debt of the nation
may be the language of the contract,
the United States will discharge all of
its obligations in the currency recog-
nized as the best throughout the civil‘
ized world at the time of payment."
Mr. Stewart thought this was a re-
markable statement which meant sim-
ply that nothing but gold was good
r:nough for the bondholders. “Mr. Mc-,
Kinley," said Mr. Stewart, “refers to
Its obligations in either gold or silver

If the lesolution we are considering
Now, the President calls .15 Option of
the Government—worth thousands of

“What language for a. President to

THEE v1: 1. in

Referring to Secretary Gage, Mr.
Stewart said he believed the Secretary
to be an honest man—a. man who
would not rob a. bank-but he said, it
was difficult for Mr. Gage to look at
this question except from the stand-
point of a. banker. He thought it un-
fortunate that the President had
placed the Treasury Department in
charge cf bankers, but he was glad the
President had thrown off he cloak and
made the issue directly with the peo-
ple.
Mr. Cannon ,(Utah) followed in sup-
port of the resolution. He believed that
the only way in which the parity of
silver and gold as money could,_be
maintained. was to accord equal priv1-
leges of. both metals with the mints.
He 'held that the only way to maintain
the parity was to pile up interest bear—
ing obligations upon the people. He
firmly denied that the advocates of free
coinage were in favor of anything but
a loo-cent dollar.
“We do not believe, h0wever,” said
Mr. Cannon, “in the deified dollar of
Grover Cleveland, which is worshiped
by the present administration.” He
criticised the President for attending
banquets of millionaires in New York,
where perusing his menu, bound in
gold, and then declaring in favor of
paying Government obligations in gold
in violation of the nation’s rights to
lictate what money they should he
paid in.
1v1r. Cannon said that if there was 111,-
ather reason for his support of the res—
olution. he would vote for it to serve
notice upon every ereditor of the Unit-
ed States that he should live up to the
contracthe had cntreed into with the
Government.
Mr. Jones (Ark) began his speech in
support of the resolution by criticising
the position taken by Mr. Allison (1a.)
He ‘thought the resolution would
squarely align those who held the. 1.4 ari—
ous financial beliefs. No absolute be-
liever in the gold standard could, Mr.
Tones thought, on principle, do any—
thing but vote against the resolution.
On the contrary, he could not under-
aand how any Senator holding differ ent'
financial views could do anything but
=upport them. .
He said the advocates of the resolu—
tion proposed to pay the full pound of
flesh clue but absolutely not a bit more.
in the course of his remarks Mr. Jones
said, in discussing the work of the
Monetary Commission, with 7 special
reference to its recommendations con-
cerning banking, that it was the evi—
dent purpose of those behind bank leg-
.‘slation to fasten the gold standard up- .
3n the country. He then read a. com-
munication in a financial newspaper to
the effect that there would not be
much serious opposition to the pro-
posed legislation from the “recalcitrant
silver Senators.”
Mr. Jones gave notice that the
u
re-
calcitrant silver Senators” would have
'10 be reckoned with pretty seriously
oefore any such legislation as that pro-
posed got through the Senate. Mr.
Jones said he made the broad state—
ment that no Democrat, silver Repub-
lican or Populist had ev e1 declared in
favor of paying Government obliga-
ions in a depreciated currency.
The first speech of the day in oppo-
sition to the Teller resolution was de-
livered by Mr. Burrows (Mich.) He
said that much had been said about
the position of the Republican admin-
istration on bimetallism. That, he
thought, could not be a subject of
doubt. The Republican party was
pledged to secure, if possible, interna-
tional bimetallism, and the President
would do everything in his power to
carry out that pledge. Meantime the
existing gold standard would be main-
tained. Until the international agree-
ment was securd the purpose of the ad-
ministration was to continue the kind
of bimetallism we have now, whereby
500,000,000 silver dollars were maintain-
ed at a parity with gold. Any propo-
sition which looks to the abandonment
of this position, which was likely to
create a disparity between the coins
of the country, was in violation of the,
public faith and in derogation of the
rights of the public creditor.
Senator White, consumed nearly half
an hour reading a speech, in which he
included extracts from President ,Mc-
Kinley’s speech Thursday night. The
Senator claimed that while the Presi-
dent- did not use the w9_rd “gold,” every
one understood his langhage to mean
that, for his surroundings and the rest
of his speech closely indicated his in-
tention. Mr. ,VVhite closed his speech
by saying that with the passage of this
resolution the line between the single7
gold standard and bimetallism would
be so closely drawn that it would be
vain to try to escape.
Western Senators not to trifle further
with the question, for if they did it
would not be without danger to them-
selves.
Senator Fairbanks’ speech was an
able one, and his reading of a telegram
from Secretary Gage as to Treasury
payments proved how unfounded were
the charges of the Democrats that un-
due discrimination had been used in
regard to the “coin” by the depart-
ment. Senator Fairbanks made it plain
that the. intention of the Democrats in
pressing the resolution was not clearly
expressed on its face, and that the real
purpose was to obtain an expressxun
of opinion from the Senate in favor of
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. He
asked- Senator Teller why he did not
have the courage to state the true rea—
sons. .
It was just this point raised by
Senator Fairbanks that caused a good
deal of talk on the floor of the Senate.
Even the Western Republicans say that
'f the resolution had been diawn open-
ly and declared what its ad\ ocates af-
tervt ard confessed was thcii meaning,
it ,would not pass. Some go e\ en so
far as to state that an out and out free
silver resolution could not now pass
the Senate.
Refeg'ring to .Senator Teller-'9 advo-
cacy of free silver, Mr. Fairbanks said
that while he did not question the lofty
pUl‘llllSkS inspiring the Colorado Sen-
ator, yet they had carried him to the
nuilll where all else was dependent 7011
this one question of silver. It was an
lli\'()0a(“5' so ardent that the Senator
iaF‘lllEd ready to follow his will-o'—the-
wisp even though it plunged the coun-'
:13! into the morass of Government dis—

GAIN FOR REPUBLICANS
Acknowledgement of Their Purpo-e by
the Silver Men Blakes the “'estein
Senators Hesitate About Voting for the
Resolution. ~
Washington. ,.Jan 28. -—'1'he Senate
vesterday postponed the vote on the Tel-
ter— Matthews resolution until 6 o clock
this evening. The acotin is consid-
ered by the Republicans a. point gained.
Although Senatdr Vest made the mo-
tion for postponement, on account of
a desire for further debate, the Re—
publicans say that the longer the silver
men talk the clearer it becomes that
their intention of passing the resolution
is for free silver effect. The debate so
far has shown that the silver men in-
terpret the resOlution to ultimately
mean free silver, and the acknowledge-
' ment on the floor of the Snate _by Sena-
tors favoring it that their hopes are the
same way, has given the Republicans
an opportunity to point out to the
Western Senators the exact purpose of
the silver democrats in forcing the
passing of the resolution at this time
The Democrats evidentlv have seen
this, for they were the ones who asked
for a longer discussion to correct some
of their mistakes.
Several Western Republican Senators
have expressed doubt as to their final
vote on the resolution, and have stated
that they might vote for one of the Re-
publican amendments, especially the
one reaffirming the St. Louis platform.
The postponement of the vote hereto-
fore giVes the Republicans 21 chance to
get together and perhaps agree on a
substitute or an amendment. which
may be adopted.
Senator Foraker said that there was
a chance for, the Republicans to get to-
gether, .and if not to defeat the Teller
resiolution, at least so reduce the ma-
jority of last week as to make it a vir-
tuel victory. Senator Lodge thinks,
however, the resolution will be adopted,
by a reduced vote.

A RACE 0F eaowMes.
D wnri‘s with Fat Bodies and Spit»
die, Legs in South America.
Queer
Boston, Jan. 28.—-A race of pigmies——
a whole country populated with beings
no bigger than children—has been dis-
covered in South America. The Colum-
bus in this case is Eben J. Sullivan, of
this city, who has just returned fiom
South America. He has made a re-
port of the curious race of midgetts he
found on the banks of the Rio Negro, a
tributary of the Amazon, to R. G. 'ial—
liburton. Fellow of the Royal Geo-
graphical Society.
The pigmies according to Mr. Sulli-
van’s reportnumber fr0111.10,000 to 15,—
090 persons. That they havebcenprey-
ed upon and decimated by other tribes
is shown by their deepseated terror of
ire-.11 of average size. They cringe on the
ground like dogs or skurry [1: their
mud homes at the sight of a stranger.
They are very ugly. They seem al-
most. deformed. Their stomachs dis-
Lend out of all proportion to their lit-
tle apindling legs and arms. They look
like Brownies. This, Mr. Sullivan says,
is caused by the way the pigmies eat.
They gorge themselves like anacondas.
Then they lie in a stupor, often for a
day and a half. Their hair is done up
in a position which increases the re-
pulsivcness of their appearance. It is
stuck together by mud, and the head
is covered with horns, made of mud
and hair.

Madrid, Jan. 28. —Admiral Boxméjo,
7 the Minister of Marine, has ordeied the
fleet to concentrate at Cadiz. A trans-
atlantic seamer will be chartered 'to .
supply the ships with stores and coal.
A local newspaper asserts that meas- '
ures have been taken to keep United
States Minister VVoodford’s residence
“under surveillance." The newspa-
pers here allege that when the United
States Minister, General Stewart L.‘
Woodford, advised the Spanish Gov-
ernment of the dispatch of the battle--
ship Maine to Havana the ship was
already on her way to that port.
The public prosecutor demands a sen-
tence upon Lieutenant-General I’Veyler
of two months’ imprisonment.
United States Minister ‘W’oodfordls
note, announcing the cruise of the
Maine, and the reply of the Foreign
Minister, Senor Gulion intimating that
a. Spanish war vessel will visit Amer.-
ica, are both couched in markedly po-
lite and friendly‘terms.
It has been decided to send the first-
class cruiser Infants. Maria Teresa. to
America, instead of the Vizcaya, be-
cause the Vizcaya’s commanding of-
ficer, Captain Concas, in the course of
a. lecture before the Madrid Geograph—
ical Society in 1896, censured the
United States in a manner that pro—
voked the American Minister, Hannis
Taylor, to demand an explanation.
Tashington, Jan. 28.~—Considerable.
importance is attached here to the re—
port that Spain will concentrate a. fleet
cf warships at Havana. Already there
is a large number of Spanish vessels
doing patrol duty along the coast of
Cuba. 'Any large addition to this force
might change the whole situation. 'It
probably is deemed necessary by the
Spanish Ministry to make a big demon—
stration _.which will satisfy Spanish
pride, now much offended by the ap-
pearance of the. Maine at Havana, and
the \\ 11d but unfounded stories in cir-
culation of intended American inter—
vention.

Commander Sigsbee Instructed to be
Careful with Shore Leave in Havana.
Washington, Jan. 28.—Reports receiv-
ed by the State Department from Ha-
vana denote grave apprehensions of'
trouble as soon as the marines from
the battleship Main-s are given shore
leave. , Commander Sigsbee, of the
Maine, was instructed yesterday to be
very careful in permitting his men to
go ashore. While the message to Cap-
tain Sigsbee was not in the form of a
command, it was tantamount to an or-
der to keep his men on board.
The officers of the Maine on their
visits ashore do not mingle with the
populace, but the marines would be
embroiled with the Spanish mob in
short order if they were allowed the
freedom of the city. '
State Department cfiicials insisr that
Havana is quiet, but as the guards
about the Governor’s palace have been
doubled and the troops have been
brought in from the country, it is evi-
dent that the condition of affairs is still
serious.

DANGER OVER CUBA.
The Growing Impatience of Meiubersol
the House.
Washington, Jan. 28.—There'is more
than the ordinary disquietude in con—
gress COncerning the Cuban situation.
When the announcement was made
that the Maine had been ordered to
Havana it was construed by many that
the President was taking the step re-
ferred to by Mr. Hitt, chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee. In his
speech, looking to the settlement of the
Cuban question. It has since developed
with sufficient clearness that the send-
ing of the Maine to Havana meant no
more than, what was conveyed in the
orders, and that the President has in
contemplation no further steps at this
time, unless something shOuld happen
to compel action.
The understanding of this situation
has made the members of the House
impatient to even a. greater degree than
has heretofore been apparent. This re-
newed impatience has not yet led to
further expression in debate, but it is
obviously more dangerous than that
which finds expression in the Record.
It is showing itself now in conferences
and private discussions, which. look
more seriously to action. It had seem-
ed that the wishes of the President
would be respected by all Re uhlicans,
and that they would all restrain their
sympathy for Cuba. It appears now,
however that there is a strong proba-
bility that the Cuban sympathizers-will
insist upon action within a. short time,
and a. radical prOposition is expected
to make its appearance in the House
soon, with a. prospect of having the
support of a. majority of the members
It is believed that the situation de-
lveIOping rapidly in Cuba. is such as to
indicate the failure of autonomy be-
yond the possibility of a. doubt. This
anticipation gives rise to the belief that
further disorder, growing out of the
discontent and anger of the radical
Spanish element in Cuba and in Ma-
drid, will follow.
