Bibley Creates Excitement.
Washington, Jan. 8. General debate
on the currency and banking bill, ac
cording to the common understanding,
was concluded with the adjournment of
the house this afternoon, and the last
day was marked with a most sensational
speech. Mr. Sibley, a democrat of
Pennsylvania, opened the session's de
bate with an attack upon the president,
which exceeded in character of its des
cription of the chief executive anything
that has been heard on the floor. '
The first business was a resolution
from the committee on rules authorizing
the appropriations committee to insert
a clause in the sundry civil appropria
tion bill authorizing the transfer of the
military prison at Fort Leavsn worth,
Kan., from the jurisdiction of the war
department to the department of justice.
Opposition was made by Broderick, rep.,
of Kansas, who asserted the question
i had been before the military committee,
and contended the house was entitled to
report on the proposed change, for which
he saw no reason. The plan was ex
plained by Curtis, rep., oi New York,
who contended soldiers sent to the prison
for minor offenses were subjected to evil
associations. The resolution, after some
debate was adopted 156 to 125. De
bate on the currency bill being resumed
Beltzhoover, dem., of Pennsylvania,
gave notice of an amendment. It pro
poses a section to enable the secretary of
the treasury to fund the treasury notes,
wrgch may remain in circulation after
August 1, 1895, which were issued under
the act of February 25, 1869; July 11,
1862 ; March S, 1863, and July 14, 1890,
by issuing bonds to an amount not ex
ceeding $500,000,000, to be redeemable
at the pleasure of the United States after
five years, and payable 25 years from
date with interest at 3 per tfent, payable
semi-annually in gold. The bonds are
to be of such denominations of not less
than $50, as the secretary may determine,
and to be sold at not leas than par for
gold or for treasury notes."
The members flocked around Sibley,
dem., of Pennsylvania, when he began
a characteristic address against the bill.
He was applauded. He said: "If ever
tempted to trample down the preroga
tives of the people, it is needed for him
who has attempted to usurp this entire
government to himself.' The time has
come when there should be something
more than brains, belly and brass, to
this government." He referred to
George III, and said it tad been given
out that any one who voted against the
bill would incur the displeasure of the
kings. Four days after the repeal of the
Sherman act members had told him they
had been promised revenue collector
ships if they would vote for repeal.
"The gentleman makes a very broad
assertion," said Coombs, dem., of New
York, and asked Sibley to mention
names.
. ' "I went three days ago to a member
and asked him to allow me the privilege
of calling him up here," replied Sibley
He Eaid, 'Mr. Sibley, you will place me
in a bad position with my constituents,
but" continued Sibley, "within 10 feet
of me sits a man who beard him make
the statement that he had been offered
federal offices for his vote."
But do you consider it fair," asked
Coombs, with a perceptible tremor in
his voice, "to make so grave a charge
Highest of all in Leavening
.
against the administration and not give
the names and places in order to permit
a defense?"
"Every man is the guardian of his own
conscience," declared bioiey, -aireaoy
padlocks have been on my lips too long,
and I intend to throw them off."
When were the padlocks put on your
lips?" interjected Outhwaite, dem., of
Ohio. There was great confusion and
excitement foil owing the question.
"I have not thrown them off before,"
continued Sibley, "because I hoped to
see the administration redeem its prom
ises, and I did not wish to utter a rebuke
when there was hope of an honest per
formance." Outhwaite had pushed forward and
again uttered the question : "Who put
padlocks on your, lips?" -
Sibley hesitated a moment, and with
increased earnestness said : "Let me
tell the gentleman, I am not talking to
day with men who believe in going to
hell in a handcar instead of heaven sup
ported by the truth. Let me tell him
also that I am not addressing men who
believe more in a bob-tail flush than a
contrite heart.
A shout of appiause and laughter
greeted this statement.
Sibley 'proceeded to relate the expe
rience of Dionysius, when he was again
interrupted by Outhwaite.
"Was it Dionyshm who put a- padlock
on your lips?" . .' .
Sibley made no reply and proceeded
to address himself to the details of' the
pendine bill.
Mr. Sibley was frequently interrupted
by hisses, and when he demurred from
answering he said his time' would not be
extended, although, "not a man who
Bpoke in favor of the gold trust of. the
world but was not given unlimited
time-" Pence of . Colorado asked ' that
he be permitted to finish, but Outwaite
objected. Sibley continued: .
"We saw your distinguished executive
after the election of 1892 hie himself
away for a recreation. Where on earth
did he go? -To the classic shores of Hog
island. The Bible says that, when they
are set at liberty, each man will go to
his own place. Where did he go? To
Buzzard's bay. And ever since, the old
ship of state has been bumping her noee
into Hog island and foundering in the
waters of Buzzard's bay, with prosperity
but .a cable's length away ."
There was a panic being precipitated
by the vultures of the banks, Mr. Sibley
shouted, beside which the last panic was
a gentle zephyr to a shrieking cyclone
He bad figures, which he had prepared
last June, and which, at the solicitation
of friends, he had refrained from using,
showing the banks and trusts could not
pay 80 cents on the dollar. The admin
istration had so carried out the declara
tion that the parity of all kinds of mon
ey would be maintained, that all other
kinds but gold had become promissory
notes for payment of the gold. Speak
ing of his democratic principles, Mr. Sib
ley said that if he got into what he sup
posed was a mahogany wagon and found
it was veneered basswood being driven
over a rocky road by' an inexperienced
driver, he would jump out, and would
not care much were he landed. He
drew a picturesque sketch of democrats
sitting around banquet halls tonight
worshipping at the shrine of Andrew
Jackson1 and talking theories as different
from his as the throne of hades is differ
ent from the fruit of the tree of life.
And if Andrew Jackson's spirit were to
appear, it would, he concluded, kick
over the table tnd banish those apostles
in disgust.
The Canal Bill. '
Washington, Jan. 8. There is going
to be some impatience in'the senate on
the part of the champions of other bills
over the prolonged debate on the Nicara
gua canal bill. The advocates of the
bankruptcy bill are growing especially
solicitous. It is rumored today that
Senator George, who has the bankruptcy
bill in bis keeping, would soon attempt
to have it taken up, even if in doing so
he would have to ask that the Nicaragua
bill be unplaced. Mr. George pro

nounced this rumor as . without founda
tion, but admitted that be had been' dis
appointed' that the debate on the canal
bill had continued for euch a length of
time. He said it had been understood
when the -order of consideration ! had
been agreed on, that debate on the canal
bill-would not continue to-exceed six
days. Senator Morgan said, at the close
of the session,. that he did not think
there would be a great many more
speeches, and he believed two more
days would bring the debate to a close if
it could continue without interruption.
Mr. George expects to encounter con
siderable 'opposition to the bankruptcy
bill. It is understood that the advo
cates of the Terry bill will oppose the
pending bill. The fight will be in a gen
eral way 'between the advocates of vol
untary bankruptcy and those of invol
untary bankruptcy.
