Stat Mr. Max ay presented a memorial of the exican Veterans' Association, praying for e passage or a bill pensioning veterans of e Mexican war. Deferred. M th tin Among the bills favorably reported and placed on the ca lendar, were the following: 11 v Mr. Edmunds, from the committee on the judiciary, in reference to bigamy and polygamy in Utah. Mr. Edmunds said he would nsk the Senate to take np this bill immediately after the holiday recess. 13y Mr. Hoar, from the same committee, an orig nal bill to establish a uniform sys tem of bankruptcy throughout the United States. Mr. hoar said ho would ask the Senate to take np this bill as soon as possi ble after the holiday recess. By Mr. Culloni, a postal telegraph bill. It provides for the purchase of any exist ing lines under tho provisions of the act of 18G6 at an appraised valuation to be ascer tained by a commission of disinterested persons. By Mr. Van Wyck, to provide for tho or- aMzation ot that part the territory of the United States now known ns Indian Terri tory and the public land strip into a Terri tory to be known u Oklahoma, to provido n temporary gov ernment for the same, for the allotment of homesteads to Indians in severalty, and to open up unoccupied Lind tc Indian settlers. By Mr. Calloin, for the establishment of a postal telegraph system. 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 coins med tho religious prejndioc existing on the other side of the watt r, Mr. Flumb said t cid Hot-m hard that nnv coma xi-t W, lure \\- re generally free imm Mich udi ;cs, though lie bclii red there, ni a 1 ut Saratoga whoaa proprietors were I v.

The wbola diplomatic arrangement of the pr* s- ent day was, however, in .Mr. Plumb aopin- Ion. antiquated and totally mime.- try nud ho * hoped the committee would recount:* nd to the Semite that 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 Senate in executive session to-day confirmed the nomination of John Bigelow, to be oasistanttreeaurerof the United Slai at New York.

The bill introduced by Senator Cnllom to-day, to provide for tho establishment of a postal telegraph system, was referred to the committee on post-office* anil post roads, to be considered in connection with the bill on the same subject recently intro duced by Senator Edmunds.

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.

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.
