Ail the mom- bSus were present—*Blackburn, Harris, Gbmnan, flfiantloraon and Ajdriofc. Tbe Whale subject was cainvassed in a pleasant and informal iwliy, Harris and Bloobbum stating dhuft ttooy wanted'to. btfng about a change but aximitting the appuramt imposs.b.lity of theCr .so do ing. Both these senators favor cloture. •The Republicans, taowevtir, are op- l>osed to any action at this time, and in tMs view tho exped Loamy of report*, ing any of -the uimendmvoaU referred to them, they are rednflorccd toy Mr. Gor-‘ m'an, which makes a majority .of the comimCtltee. At the meeting today Mr..

IN THE SENATE. Mr. Turpie was entitled to the floor when the Nicaragua bill came up, but he yielded it temporarily to Mr. Cul- ICm, who urged the maintenance of tho •‘w^se policy known as the Monro? doc trine.” The completion of the Illinois ship canal and of the Hennepin canal, he said, wus connected with tho Nica ragua" canal, and Cooked forward to tho day when steam vessels from all the lake ports would carry the products of tbe West to the Pacific pores. .The-Im portance of the undertaking was far bt-yond any consideration of cost or expenses. Although tho Nicaragua, ca nal should cost a hundred millions and should possess no dividend-paying ca pacity, still it would be an undertaking demanded by the military necessities of the country a't any reasonable cost. But when it oiTered such a return as might be reasonably expected in its commercial operation, he fe&t justified in urging the passage of lire bill*. Mr. Cullom wound up his speech with the appeal to the senate to declare chat “no pent-up Utica restrilns our pow ers; but the whole boundless continent is ours.” Mr. Turpie yielded further to Mr. Perkins (Republican) of California, who argued in favor of the bill, and assert ed that there was no’thlng compl?x or difficult of understanding about It. Tho ^government of the United States vir tually understood the enterprise ac quired aK the concessions made by Nic aragua and built the canal- through an In-strumen tally of Its own, in the form of a corporation In which the govern ment would own seven-tenths of the stock, and would regulate tbe traffic, Including rates of tolls. This Nicaragua canal, Mr. Perkime as serted, would <pay. There was no doubt on that point. It would pay financially. Hit would pay nollWeally, and it would pay commerolaly. 1^ would pay also as on exhii'biitilan of American enterprise, of American skill end forethought and American nerve. It would pay because It must receive the commendation of the world, as it would show that there was a groat question to be considered, a -great work to be done, and after con sideration -was concluded, and there was a groat people to carry it into ef fect. MR. TURPIE’S CRJTICISMB. Mr. Turpdib followed Mr. Perkin®. In the course of Mr. Tutrple’e remarks a severe comment was made by Mr. Mor gan, -in chairge of the -bill, upon the striatune® and censures Indulged in by Mr. Turpie agaAUctt the canal company and agMiimut the oomm'i-ttioe on foreitm relations. A disclaimer was made by Mr. Turpie, who add he would take tho rcsnonabllfty of saying, emd would ex ercise the moat extreme delicacy to say ing, that a certain phrase in o«ie of the amotions of the iblll was a very question able one. "The senator from Inddana,” Mr .Mor gan said with much asperity.”-has carte blaJdhe to say what he pleases.” “The Of lratinve? Canal Company,” Mr. Turpie ccovtlnoioJ, “la Wrecked and with out assets. Nkubody would take Its borvJU or stocks.. It te a wo-nUile*». in solvent company.” In further di-scuaeion of the bill, Mr. Turtle declared with vehemence of man ner that “tho whole purpose awl uvaan- 'ing of the bill, viewed from (its text. Is to have am endless construction ana commotion of tbe enterprise, if acci dentally it should finish, good and well. That Is an incident. If it Is ever com pleted, that la good. .But -the seventy millions are only -to .be applied In tho construction of the work. There la no certainty and no provision for any cer tainty that the work will ever be flo ated; and. as far as the legal Intend ment of this bill is concerned. It only secures the payment of money for work done In the prosecution of ike enter prise. The legal int-endm-cmt does not rw*>r»i coninletion. It does nmt require completion.” ... .«ioi*<an eald he would reply to Mr. Turpte’B speech tomorrow. and • r - v-h . r t pxf'u iv» the senate adjourned at 5:30 o’clock. ALABAMA’S GOVERNMENT. Previous to the opening of (he Nica ragua 'MW. Mr. Allen (Populist) of Ne braska offered a resolution for the ap- potovtoment of the select committee to inquire 'as to whether the state of Ala bama has a Republican" form of gov ernment and as to the conduct ai -the recent election in that state. The reso lution went over, Mr. Allen saying that he would -address the senate on it after the holiday recess.

The speakers were Mesara Johnson (Republloah) of Indskarta., Bills (Democrat) of Kentucky and Warner of New York, adl -members of the committee on banking and cur rency. Mtr. Warner udvoca-ted -the pas sage of the bill because of tlhe pro posed rehs-bili i .ntlon of state -banks and because of the fact -tha't dit took' t/fte government out of (the business of Is suing ©urbonoy. Mr. Johnson orposed It because he be- lleved It was'bad. Mr. EUls’ opposition was largely based upon the fact that the bill provided for a reorganisation and extension of the Neal banking sys tem, . when every state and national con vention of the Democratic party for years had declared against it and this, at a tltne when the necessity for their service* as fiscal agent9, If It ever ex isted, had’absolutely passed. Mr. Bland gave notice that he would move to amend by substitution for the bfll Hls free coinage of silver scheme. Mr. Berry (Democrat) of Kentucky gave notice that he would, at the proper time, move an amendment lo tne bill author ising the redemption of the .notes Issued under the bill in gold and silver In equal amounts an/TprovIding for coinage of sil ver to meet these payments.
