Washisoton, Jan. *1. — Whaa the
senate convened it was technically a
continuance of the cession of Thursday,
as a recess was taken at night. The sil¬
ver bond bil, therefore, had immediate
right of way with Mr. Vilas (Dem.,
Wis.) recognised to speak.
There was a very meagre attendance
and Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) called at¬
tention to the abeenoe of a quorum.
This necessitated u roll cell, which
brqught senators from committee and
douS rooms and disclosed 46 senators
Vilas present, one more than a quorum. Mr.
then addressed tho senate. He
•aid:
‘•It will doubtless never be neoeesury
to discuss tL is bill as it came to the
house, but i may be said it deserves its
fate. Strangled by silver. It was but
the fraudulent pretext of response to the
exigency and which it professed to of meet, the

president, their which it denied, while it
avowed wisdom. With the excep¬
tion of provision for emergency certifi¬
cates—which ought to stand in the per¬
manent statutes—the house bill con¬
tained uoth.ng commendable; every¬
thing else was but mockery of the legis¬
lation dema ded by our fiscal conditions.
And so agai.t, as a year ago, portisan-

tive. It is almost aa fortuitous as for¬
tunate that «n old statute has remained
untouched during our financial madness,
whioh can again serve the turn; and al¬
though in a clumsy way when Consid¬

tions and suitable measures of relief,
yet it shows God’s pity and mercy are

now repeats, no judgment in then- con¬
demnation would be too severe. Over
116,000,000 in the public debt werfc then
thrown away in the reckless rage of
partisanism; and the the injury that must

same reason is probably ao legs, al¬
though the exact measure Republican of it is not
quite so clear. Then man¬
agement was able to show pretense that
but for the Populists and free ailverites
there might have been relief. It was
not true then; and this bill has now Un-
imiskedithe fact by denying under Re¬
publican nictation the only remedy
available to the increaaed mischief, ”
Declaring that tbe bill as it came from
the house was a mere sham and fraud*
Mr. Vilas proceeded to show that the
senate amei intents made it worse than
the original measure.
“It was bud stock, “he asserted,

to habit ao of the do talking, as ratio they of were in the

then proceeded at considerable
length vision of to discuss pending the free coinage declaring pro¬
the bill,
that tbe financial distress and public
misery ot the past three years were the
direct prodnnt* of the efforts to farce

“our course to relief is a return te

He divided the stiver advocates into
