Washington, Sept. 25,The first thing in the senate today after the routine morning business was the considera tion of Stewart's resolution offered oh Saturday, arraigning the president for attempting to coerce congress Into passing the silver repeal bill, thereby Impairing the Independence of a co ordinate branch of the government In violation of the constitution and de structive to the government. Stewart began by referring to the recent cen tennial anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the capital, when he said the president, with more than a hundred thousand high paid govern ment offices to bestow, with a veto power designed only for extraordinary occasions, backed by concentrated cap ital and a "venal press," turning to the senate wing, declared in menacing tones, that if the representatives there assembled legislated in passion or pre judice, or oh behalf of sectional or sel flbh interests, the time when the cor ner stone was laid, or the circumstan ces surrounding it would, not be worth commemorating. This sentiment had been bheered by the thoughtless mul titude, and construed by the "venal press", as a rebuke from the president to the guilty venal Benate. Stewart then quoted from the history of En gland as to the parliamentary struggle with the Stuarts. Coming to the pres ent time, ha charged that the presi dent, in disregard of his oath of office, had allowed the secretary of the treas ury to violate an act which made the purchase of four and a half million ounces of silver per month mandatory, ty exercising his unlawful discretion In nurehasinsr smaller amounts. Was It not time to sound an alarm? If con stitutional liberty was of any value all should stand up and say to the president, "you have overstepped the mark; we cannot afford to have the luw3 of congress disregarded. Stewart sal.l the president had no exalted opinion of the senate or house as shown by a recent letter in which he said he expected soon to have a "session of congress on his hands. Stewart then read from the Cincinnati Tlmos-Star an interview with the pres ident In which he said: "Tho repeal of tho sliver purchasing act could not be effected this year. The people are with me and my pol icy, but I fear I Shall not be able to command any action from congress. It Is useless to appeal to them now. VThe assumption of the president lhat he knows best," raid Stewart, "and that those who had studied. the subject all their lives were wrong, was remarkable. Where and when did he have the opportunity to familiarize himself with the wants and needs of the American people, and with the rlpneo of money and economies? Where and when did he study it, and in what school?" "I believe," said Stewart, "that this president is the only president who has ever presided at the White House who did not pos sess a liberal education, either in some college or on a farm, where he commu nicated with nature and learned na ture's laws. The three greatest presi dents we ever had, received that lib eral education which nature affords Coming In contact with the people and taking wider views of the laws of man and nature than can be obtained in a law office or in a sheriff's office or lr the office of mayor or any other contracted place where the great book of nature Is closed." He cited Wash ington, Jackson, and Lincoln, as great examples of the great presidents, as t result of a liberal education. Unfor tunately, the present president had teen denied both a college education nnd that grander and better educa tion that came from communion with the great producing classes of the country. Without concluding, Stewart yielded to . Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who spoke againBt the repeal bill. Cam eron said: "If silver Is sacrificed the manufac turers will be responsible for it, and in that case I take It for granted, that the silver states will revenge them selves by throwing all their weight on the side cf a reduction of the tariff. Our manufacturers might flourish on a low silver and high tariff baMs. I pro pose that a gold loan of so many mil lions as congrPFs may decide, be bought at the market rate and held In the treasury as a gold reserve as it is held in th? l-sr.lc cf l-'rar.oc and by ti".c gov ernments of the Latin Union. I pro- pope to open our mints to free coinage of American silver, Imposing a duty of Import of foreign sliver. I propose, further, to repeal the tax on state bank circulation. I would also press or.ee more for action In favor of our shipping to meet in part the deficiency In our Income for next year. I would relmpose a duty of two cents a pnnnd on sugar and repeal the bounty. Then I would wait a year to see how the system worked, and how far we were affected ,by foreign Influence." Bate, tit Tennessee, then addressed the senate against the repeal bill. At 4 o'clock,! Stewart again took the floor. In reading a letter from Cleveland he criticised tho uss of the word "Intrin sic" as applied to the value of gold and silver, and said, the president did not know what he talked about. Stew mt read from newspapers various ar-j tides as to the attitude of the presi dent, finally coming to the published telegram from the president to Chair man Wilson, of the ways and means committee, congratulating him on the passage through the house of the re peal bill. "In a hundred odd years of American independence,1' said Stewart, "there 1 no precedence for such an action." It seems from that dispatch, he said, that the president regarded congress as his servants and thanked It as a 'good and faithful servant for doing hl bidding. Without concluding his speech, Stewart yielded for the ex ecutive' session, after which the senate adjourned, Tho antl-sllver republicans In the senate find themselves In a somewhat awkward predicament and are trying to find a way out of it. It happens that the republicans most desirous of securing the passage of the Wilson bill are the ones most anxious to prevent the passage of the elections bill, and the tariff bill, which they appreciate will come to the senate' in due course of time. While very solicitous that the Sherman lavr shall be repealed, they are beginning to appreciate that in helping repeal, they are preparing tho way for the consideration of meas ures quite as obnoxious to them, if not more so, than the Sherman law. This stale of affairs gives color to the report which was circulated today, and whicjTfci not without confirmation tUat some republican senators have shown a disposition to use their advocacy of the repeal bill to aid them in securing terms on other bills. There have been Btme informal conferences in which these matters havo been discussed, but up to the present time no conclusion has beeen arrived at. ASSAULT ON THE COMMISSIONER Washington, Sept. 25. In the house today Morse, -of Massachusetts,' took advantage of the latitude allowed to mike an assault on Commissioner Lochern's conduct In the pension office, He charged the commissioner with sus pending without warrant of law, the l'tnslons of soldiers. He charged the pension bureau with Issuing pensions to applicants known to be dead, in order to swell the- list of pensions granted. It is intimated here that the treasury department is actuated in or dering the revenue steamers Grant and Perry to the Pacific coast, more by the condition of the Chinese and seal fish ery questions than to aid In preventing the smuggling of opium In Pugcl Sound.

There were a good many sporting men at Coney Island tonight, but they were not so numerous i s the club people hoped for. - Dixon and f.mlth weighed In six hours before the meet ing, so that It could not be told ex actly what thoy scaled. It looked, how ever, as though Smith was a bit lighte r Dixon was first In the ring and was but half heartedly applauded. Smith was well cheered. Round one On call of time, Smith made a rush and thsn clinched, with inside work, and the honors even. Dix on landed on Smith's body while tho latter fell short. Dixon sent out his right on the ear and sent Smith to the floor In a clean knock-down. Smith took, time In getting up and tried to get his right on the colored boy's jnw, but failed.
