Mr. Vest offered the following preamble
and resolution, and moved their reference
to tho committee on foreign relatione:
Where**, Tho corrcwpondeuco between the gov*
eminent* of the United State* and Au*tria-Hun-
garjr, which ha* been transmitted to the Senate by
tho President, shows that Hon. Anthony U. Kcllc;
of VlrKinla, was. on April ‘i'.\ 1*88, appointed mini
tor to Aostria-Hongaiv; that on May 9, 1888, the
government of the United States wan officially noti
fied by tho government of Anstria-Uunganr that the
position of a foreign envoy wedded to a Jewess by
a civil marriage would be untenable, and even im
possible in Vicuna; and on August ft, IMS, tho gov
ernment of Austria-lian^arv declarea its determin
ation not to receive Mr. Kciley as minister from the
United 8tates—
Resolved by the Senate and Hotue of Rsprosen
tatives, That the position assumed l.y thin govern
m 'nt and the principles affirmed in said corres
pondence by tho Secretary of, tho State, meet with
onr unqualified approbation. ' The constitution of
tho United States provides that no religions test
shill ever be required as a qualification to any
office or public trn«*t under the United States, and
whilst) sincerely anxious to maintain friendy re
lations with Auidrla-IInngary and all other gov-
eminent*, tho people of the United States deny the
right of any foreign government to assert against
any citi/cn of thl * country a disqualification for
otliro by reit«ou of Ins religion* belli f or that of hi*
family.
Mr. Vor*, after Btating the facta shown by
onr correspondence as to causes contribut
ing to tho rejection of Mr. Kciley, by tho
Italian and Anstria governments, said the
State Department of this government had
recognized nt once the position taken by
the Italian government. The government
of tho United States, he said, would have
recognized the right of the Austrian gov
ernment to object to Mr. Kciley on person
al grounds, if ho had been personally ob
jectionable to that government. But when
iho Austrian government nut its objection
on the ground that Mr Keuey’s wife enter
tained certain religious opinions,
this government was bound by the
tho i t. * visions of its constitution
and traditions nod tho opinions of its jjeo-
ple to respectfully refuse to admit tlio jus-
tic* of such an objection. The principle of
religious liberty was too thoroughly inter-
woven with ourfoim of government and
tm> highly prized by tho people of the
United States to permit them to recognize
tho justice of such an objection on
the purfc of anybody. Mr. Vest deliv
ered a glowing eulogy on Thomas
Jefferson for his successful efforts
in behalf of religious liberty, and ex
pressed his pleasure that Seen tary Bayard
hid ho property and energetically expressed
the sense of iho American peoplo on tho
subject. Mr. Vest then moved tho refer
ence of his resolution to the committee on
foreign relations, and expressed the hope
that ii would me et tho approval of both
houses of Cougn ss.
Mr. Plumb thought no question of re
ligious liberty Mas involved. The point, in
his opinion,ins purely a social one. Those
diplomatic official* had really no duties
perform »nt pt social duties, and Mr.
Plumb, fur one, hoped the incident would
serve to call the attention of the country to
tho fact that the diplomatic service waa
merely an ornamental one. if indeed it
could be called t-vcii ornamental. Bo far as

Uia statement in the newspapers, he came
to the condnaian that a person utt. ring

United StM-H gov.rnment anywbi re. The
wbola diplomatic arrangement of the pr* s-
ent day was, however, in .Mr. Plumb aopin-
Ion. antiquated and totally mime.- try

it b, abolished. Ho had
not obaervad that the wheels of the
coTcnimant had moved with any more fric
tion ainco Mr. Koiley’s rejecUcn than they
lul l raoveil b. fore.
The reaolntion waa referred to the com-
aittee on foreign relatfona.
Mr. lhvk called np a ri solution hi r. tofor--
offered t.y him, diieeting the committee on
finance to inquire whether the officials of
the United Sta'.ea had complied with t.ie
Uwa resuLri^tbidaUTer^np^ford.a-
said, were equally binding on the highest
executive officer and thu humblest citizen,
yet the Uwb to which hie resolution re
ferred had not for many yearn been com
plied with by the treasury official,. No moro
statesmanlike message had ever em
anated from the exeentive mansion,
Mr. Beck's opinion, than that
President Cleveland's first message, but he
(Heck) did not agree with tho position of
that message regarding silver. Three-
fuurtlis of our business troubles arose from
the fact that tho inwa of the United States
were not carried out by our exeentive offi
cers. Combinations of bankers and bond
holders and their well-paid press were op
posed to silver, and their present crusade
■'“linst that metal was another evidence
the audacity of organizations of wealth,
organizations which had always secured
whatever they had demanded. As to tho
question of paying bonds otherwise than in
gold, Mr. Bec% quoted an opinion given in
1868 by Mr. Sherman, tho present presiding
officer of the Senate, to the effect that bond
holders should take payment for money ad
vanced in the same medium in which they
had advanced the money. That opinion
was as sonnd now us it was iu 1808.
There was not un obligation, excepting in
this country, national or municipal, that
could not lawfully be paid in gold 01 silver
coin oftbeUnitedStutes. An examination of
onr trade and a comparison of the exports
and imports of this time with those of 1870
showed that silver dollars now brought 20
per cent, more tlinn in 1870, yet
onr treasury officials told ns that
grave troubles were apprehended by
them if the present condition of things
should last much longer. The falsity of
this clamor could be readily proved by an
impnrtinl examination of tho figures given
by treasury officials themselves, and
wo were quite as capable, Mr. Beck tuought,
of coming to a conclusion from the figures
given as were those officials. The example
England was held np to
by these officials, notwithstanding
the fact that workingmen
in England were paid their wages in sil
ver coin without regard to the bullion value
of the metal. Why, too, hud not France been
troubled by its large amount of silver
coin? The reason was to be found in the
fact that the public functionaries of France
support the silver coinage of their country,
as ours did not. The bondholders of the
United States controlled enormous amount ;
of money and the best talontof the press, anil
having now captured the executive branch
of the government they were clamoring for
gold and gold alone in the settlement of
heir claims. How wns the surplus silver
to get ont of the treasury if the Secretary
of the Treasury wonld not call the bonds
that onght to be colled in, and pay oat the
silver? The people and their repreaenta-.
tives, however, supported silver. No ex
ecutive officer should be allowed to disre
gard tho law. He (Beck) wns not
making war on the bondholders or
the banks, bnt he wonld, if he conld, toko
from the banks their political power anil
their influence on tho currency, as shown
when they received President Hayes’s veto
on a memorable occasion. Mr. Beck dis
claimed any personal interest in silver, say
ing he had never in his life owned a share
of stock in a silver mino.
Mr. Morrill remarked that Mr. Beck's
speech seemed to be a very elaborate as
sault bn the Secretary of the
Treasury and tho President,
and if tho resolution in support of which it
was delivered should pnss the Senate it
would bo equivalent to a vote of want of
confidence in the President and his admin
istration. He regretted that theBenator
from Kentucky should have represented the
Secretary of tho Treasury as little better
than a common thief, and the Preeident
and Secretary together as having been
bought up by the bondholders, but
as probably no Senator “on the
left” was at present prepared to enter in
defense of the present administration, ho
would move tho reference of the resolution
to the committee on finance. It was so re
ferred.
Mr. Call offered arcsolution providing for
a special committee of five Senators to inves
tigate tho alleged fraudulent npjxi
priations of public lands in Flora
Mr. Allison had no objection to au
an investigation, bnt thought
ought to ba mode general, ao as to cover
other States os well os Florida. He moved
that it bo referred to tho committee on
public land, in order that that committeo
might have opportunity on considering it
to see whether snch a general investigation
should not be had. He (Allison) had read
tho report of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, in which ho found
an intimation that in numerous places
there had I
domain
pre-emptions, <
be ascertainod.
Mr. Call said he had no charge of corrup
tion to moke against any official, but had
received letters stating that there bad been
some improper dispositions of pnblio lands
in Florida. The resolution was referred to
the committee on public lands.
Mr. Harrison moved to refer to the com'
mittce on Territories the resolution of Mr.
Ilntlcr, recently offered, relating to the
Territory of Dakota. Ho added that this
disposition of the resolution wee agreeable
to Mr. Butler.
The Senate then pessed the House eon
current resolution providing for an ad
journment from to-day till Tuesday, Jonu
ary 5, 1886.
At 335 p. m. tho Senate went into cxccu
tive session. At 1 o'clock the doors were
reopened and the Senate adjourned till
Tuesday, January 5, 1886, at 12 o'clock
noon.

THE NAKT1UOKE PRISONERS.
Reason to Believe They aro Alive—Work
Interrupted.
Wilkehiiasbe, Pa., December 21.—The
situation ni Nanticoke is unchanged. At
130 this afternoon tlio rolief party wero
still pushing towards the imprisoned men,
and have been spurred on to greater efforts
by a signal tboy hove received which indi
cates that there is life beyond. Tapping
upon an iron pipe wns heard by the res
cuer*, and they natnmlly conclude that
there is yet good grounds of hope that at
least some of the men may be rescued alive.
It is the opinion of some of the best miners
that they o nnot reach the uie-r, for ucme
days, owing to the extent of the obstruc
tions. Others ere sanguine enough to ex
pect they brill reach the men within the
next ten hours, at longest.
WruccsiuKBK, Pa., December 21.—About
o'clock this evening the work of the rescu
ing party was suddenly interrupted by an
il of sand, rock and culm. The men
were working on a steep incline when a
vast mass of dthrln came crashing down to
ward them with great violence. They fled
for their lives, and although they escaped
uninjured several of them had very narrow
escapes. The work of digging for the im
prisoned men is for tho time being sus
pended, but the officials in charge are mak-
g strenuous efforts to overcome the diffi-
ilties and continue their labors. They
hope to have matters so arranged in an hoc r
or two that work may be proceeded with.
ConimLviions to Ticket Agent* Abolished*
New Yoik, December 21.—Tho passen
ger agents of the New York Cmitnl, West
' .ore, Erie, Pennsylvania and Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroads, to-day

all comtuR-ioiis of every kind, and that
hereafter they would have no dealings with
ticket brokers or “scolpera.” Ticket
sellers in general ticket offices controlled
directly by tlio railroad will be forbidden to
participate i tin r directly or indirectly in
commission-.' Tho nilo will not apply to
com id; n- I ■■ • i missions paid to steamship
companies, tor these wero paid for service

asked to concur in today’s notion of tho
laasenger agents. The regulation will go

his views on tbo question lmd undergone
change. Ha thought that if homo
rale was granted to Ireland n riuid
lino should be drawn between strictly im
perial matters, which the imperial depart
ment alone shonld deal with, and measures
relating to the ordinary administration of
justice, internal trade, railroad, public
works, education and tho relief of the poor,
all of which conld be better dealt with by
local government. Air. Childers
be was generally disposed
in a generous spirit the request of
Ireland for local self-government. He
thought thnt Parliament might require,
even in tho regulation of purely Irish mat
ters, the maintenance of religious liberty
and strict observance of contracts, and that
the rights of property be as much protected
under tho United States constitution
from infringement by nn individual Stnto.
London, December 21.—Joseph Cowcn,
radical reformer and member of Parliament
elect for Nowcastlo-on-Tyno, has issued a
manifesto to his constituents respecting
homo rule for Ireland. Air. Cowcn was tho
chief ono of the exceptions made by Air.
Parnell in his mnnifestoinstructing Nation
alists not to vote for Liberal or
Radical candidates. Air. Coweu
says: “It is impossible for England to
consent to protective tariffs for Ireland,
tbo confistication of tlio property of
landlords in Ireland, or to allow Irish mem
bers to legislate on home affairs of England
nddition to having their own parliament.
With these exceptions, I approve of home
rule for Ireland. Paper guarantees for
representation of minorities, equitable
uirtition of all imperial charges, anil unity,
in my opinion, arc naeless. The best se
curity against the disruption of the union
mutual interest existing between
England and Ireland.”
