Ini as was feared indications are that
1 te loss of life In the lowlands east of

jiao doubt but that it will be fully a

'the storm, with all its attending
; of death and destruction will be
|tally told.
The sun rose clear and bright this

laaee to dispel the gloom cast over

jra-res. The inundated portion of the

leg the average Mobile man. The

Ucan, o
the qu-tlion and believing that Mr.
Boutallljdld not either, asked the gen
tleman 'train Maine to repeat It, re-
nra.-klngr at the time that another
Daniel land come to Judgment.
Mr. Boutelle declined to do so. ..
was a ’■ quostlon propounded by the
Kcntlrmt.ii from South Carolina. At
bis request Murray repeated the query.
In retiring Mr. Kyle said that suff
rage w* -whatever the state nude it.
"That loo* not answer it," exclaimed
BoulellelJ "No Daniel ever came to
judgment' In that way. We will hive
to rename you If you cannot answer
It bettor than that."
Mr. Kyle—I will answer any question
that the gentleman from Maine wishes
to sik. But I do nAt yield now. I
chink you (alluding to Boutelle) had
better take your seat.
"It la better for you, I think," was
Ur. Boutells’s retort.
"I think It le better for you, too,"
was Mr. Kyle’s rejoinder.
"I did not understand the answer to
my question 7" Interjected Murray.
Mr. Kyle—What la It that you want
mr to answer? (Laughter).
Murray repeated hi* question.
Kyle replied that, not comprehending
exactly what tho question meant, he
would answer no. What did tbe gentle
man mean by manhood?
Murray replied that he meant by
manhood any man who was 21 years
of ago and was of sound mind and
came under tbe laws.
MR. KYLE'S OATH.
Mr. Kyle reiterated hls negative an
swer to the question and said that h«
was In acconl with the conitltutton
of Misslaalppl, to which he had taker
hls oath.
Mr. Boutelk—What about the oath
you took to the United States? (Laugh
ter.)
Mr. Kyle—The same way. (Laugh
ter.)
Air. Kyle then went on to argue for
the repeal bill. The Federal election
laws (hould be repealed because they
were unnecessary, because they were
not consistent with our republican In
stltutlono. Inti because they were a tax
upon tbe people.
Mr. Bower.*. Republican. of^Cali
fornla In *p- aklng against the cm de
nominated (sarcastically) the election
laws as a "frightful spectre." and then
went on to ridicule the slim attend
ance at the debates. He understood,
however, that the giants were training
for tht last great straggle. They were
tightening up their belly bands. While
the giants were In training quarter*
the house was deserted. When the
giant* shied th.lr hat* Into the ring
the attendance might be larger.
Mr. DeF .re-t, Democrat, of Con
nectlcut, followed with an argument
in favor of the bill.
Then Sir. Dunphy. Democrat, of
New York asked for the Immediate con
sideration ot the New York and New
Jersey bridge b?!!. ZSS requist wmm
granted.
The vuie on tne hill rreulted 14 to 1*.
an l Sir. Warm r raised the point pf no
legislation friendly to illver during the
present administration. Did he think
there tv*B any hope for such legislation
unless It wits attached to the repeal
bill.
“If I cast my vote for the repeal of
the silver purchasing aqt, aa I expect
to do," Senator Ddph replied, "I will
not do It with the expectation that dur
ing the present administration there
will be no legislation concerning silver.
I do not know a single utterance of
President Cleveland from the time of
hls first letter of his Inauguration up
to the present time that would lead
any one to suppose that he had changed
hls position In relation to silver coinage,
or that he did not stand today in favor
of the repeal or the Sherman law nnd
opposed t*> the further purchase of rII-
ver bullion nnd to the further ct inage
of silver dollars. I do not expect that
he will recommend to congress . n.v leg
islation looking to the use of silver
without the ro-operatlon of other coun
tries. I do not expect that congress
could pass any other act f ir the use
of silver by this country alone that
would be In favor of what V.c consid
ered a practical use of sliver. The fiee
coinage of silver Is only practicable
with an International agreement by
which the mints ot all the countries of
the world shall be open to the free
coinage of sliver at an agreed ratio."
In n colloquial discussion a* to
whether the administration would lake
any step to bring about un Intern.i-
iijflsi arrangement tnat would secure
bl-metall.m throughout the worll.
Senator Pulmir of Illinois said:
"I am not authorised to snealr foe
the president, but I have no doubt the
president regards It essential that we
settle our own poKcy beftre we Invite
other nations to a conference. I hnve
no doubt that the president under
stand* that while we continue the pur
chase of stiver we are disabling our
selves nnd putting ourselves to n dis
advantage In any attempt at adjusting
bl-meteliiim with foreign countries.
PALMER FOR THE HILL.
Ben.itr Palmer argued in favor of the
repeal bill. In the course of his speech
a discussion arose as to whether all
the outstanding treausry notes ewre
payable In gold. Senator Palmer con
tending that they ere. and Senator
Stewart contorting that If this were of
authority, not of law. but of treasury
rulings. »
Senator Teller stated that e had taken
sufficient interest In the question to
go the reasury to make Inquiries on
the subject, and he had been Informed
by the treasurer himself that no silver
certificate* had been paid In gold. The
discussion went Into the question as
to whether the fall In silver eras syn-
chm-jus with the rail In the price of
wheat and cotton. Senators 6te*art
nnd Butler contedlng that tlie two
things were closely related and Senator
Gray taking the opposite ground.
Senator aimer went to argue that
the free coinage f silver would drive
out the raid. «o that Instead of the
country having the two metals It would
have but ne. Finally he came back to
the point where he had started—the
lmpotency ct the senate.
