THIS IS A NATION'S DISGEAO ltembert Compelled to Stay on Guard through tho Night Beady for the noli Call. Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 12. All night long Inst night Senator Allen, of Nebraska, held the floor. Ho was Interrupted by an occasional lH-tempered colloquy for a roll call which dragged the sleeping sonators from tho adjoining cloak rooms. For twelve hours and a half he had held the floor continuously. breaking all previous records. Shortly after seven this morning, Wolcott made the point that forty-three, ' was not a quorum as Montana, Wyoming and Washington were only partly rep resented In the senate. Vice-President Stevenson ruled that the senate as con stituted was composed of 85 members, and that forty-three made a quorum. Wolcott appealed from the decision, and his appeal was tabled, by 38 to 5, Allen, Manderson, "Martin, Peffer and Morgan voting In the negative. Then Allen, apparently as fresh as when he began fourteen hours ago, resumed his address. Allen concluded? at a quarter past eight. Martin, of Texas, was to follow him, but Voorhees suddenly in terposed with a moUon to lay the Pef fer free coinage amendment to the re peal bill on the table, and the roll was called. Only 41 senators voted. Dubois, being the first senator, on the roll and present who refused to vote, the chair called on him for an expla nation. Dubois said he considered the amendment too important to be passed upon without debate. A vote on the motion to excuse Dubois resulted as follows 21 ayes, 29 nays. Dubois' name was again called. He still failed to respond. Then followed a discus sion whether Dubois could be compell ed to vote, but the point was soon dropped. At 9:15 a ballot was an nounced showing 50 senators voting, with a result of yeas 33, nays 19. So the Peffer amendment was laid on the table. Voorhees said that the Peffer amendment to the "Voorhees bill was the only one pending except that of Ford, bp the committee on finance, which is the Wilson, or house bill, and that Martin, of Kansas, be recognized to discuss the question. Martin then rose. At 1:30 Martin was still speaking. The program of the silver men Is to have Teller or Jones follow Martin, and have Stewart follow them. Stew art, Jones, Pugh, and Morgan and other sliver men who wer enot pres ent last night, after taking a regular rest, came In this morning, while Tel ler, Wolcott, Dubois and others who had been in the chamber all night, ent home to sleep and rest. They have the best of the situation, as they only need enough men to keep going hile the opponents of silver must at all times be ready to muster a quor um. The silver men decline to re spond on calls of the roll, to establish the presence of a quorum. It is definitely stated that at 10 clock tonight Voorhees will move a recess until 10 tomorrow. It Is gen- rally supposed that the recess will be used for the purpose of effecting a compromise, though the repeal men say that they will go on Indefinitely from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. dally, until the silver men get through speech making. A canvass of the senate at 2 p. m. Indicates that tho continuous session will last at least through tonight. Voorhees declares that the adminis tration is not seeking a compromise. Martin kept on with frequent inter ruptions for a roll call, until 4 o'clock this afternoon, when he said he would close for the present, with the hope that he might continue his discussion at some future time, as there were sev eral Important phases of the question that he had not touched on. Morgan gave notice of an amendment to the repeal bill prepared by Representative Turpin, of this state, providing for the coinage of silver dollars of 412'4 grains of silver, which, together with all sil ver dollars of like weight and fineness are made legal tender, except where otherwise expressly stipulated. The secretary of the treasury is directed to purchase silver bullion at the market price, to be paid for in silver dollars, and to have it coined into sliver dol lars to equal the amount with gold dollars coined. Teller then resumed his speech of last week, continuing until 6:20, when he excused himself on the plea of an important engagement and with the understanding that he could resume tomorrow. Stewart, of Nevada, then resumed the floor and began another speech. The hours drag?ed wearily along un til 8:30, when an incident occurred which demonstrated the helplessness of tha senate, under the, present system of rules. Voorhees arose, chafing under the continued roll calls of the silver men holding their tired adversaries on the rack, and petulantly demanded of Frye, of Maine, who was in the chal to what extent the privilege of calling for a quorum could be abused. "In tho terms of the rules," said Frye, "there is no limitation and the chair knows of no power in the pre siding officer to place a limitation." . Voorhees sank,-back in his seat, and the roll call brought 44 unwilling vie Urns Into the chamber. As soon the announcement was made, Quay, of Pennsylvania, suggested the absence of a quorum. He did it, he said, be cause the decision of the chair put It absolutely In the power of any one senator to block legislation. "The senate of the United States," said Frye, with a gravity that caused tho galleries to titter, "Is tho most dig nified legislative body in the world," and he proceeded: "The framers of its rules did not suppose that any sen ator would violate the proprieties or the decencies of the senate." "The theory of the constitution," said Quay , disgustedly, "may be as stated by- Uie chair, but our recent ex perience has shown that the Benate Is very-'folfferently constituted." He then withdrew his suggestion, but Ca rey, . of Wyoming, who evidently de sired to Bhow- the country exactly how powerless the senate was, repeated it The senate adjourned at 1:45 a. m. TUB McCREARY BILL. Its Author Makes a Speech in Defense ? of Its Provisions. j. . Washington, Oct. 1. The McCreary bill' was taken up at the close of the morning session in the house today, McCreary said that tomorrow at 4 p. m. he would call the previous question. When the house went Into commit tee of the whole on the bill to protect forest reservations, the bill was rather viciously attacked. Hermann,' of Ore- eon. Doollttle. of Washington, and others, spoke against the bill, and Chairman McRae, of the public land committee, " replied "to "the ' criticisms; Coffen wanted to amend so as to de clare that all reservations heretofore made Bhould be restored to the public domain except in California, Oregon and Washington. Before a vote was eached tho morning! hour expired, and the bill went over. Loud then contin ued his argument against the Mc Creary bill. ' INDICTMENTS AGAINST THEM. Tacoma, Oct 12. President Van Home arid other high Canadian Pacific officials were cited today to appear on November 16 to answer indictments for an alleged violation of the Interstate commerce law. Much Interest Is taken In the hearing tomorrow of Burrell and Thomas, the alleged counterfeiters who circulated Bpurious coin at Roy last week. It has Just become known that a large number of counterfeits of )5 gild pieces have been circulated throughout South western Washington. A microscopic examination of the coins shows the milling to be finer than that of the originals, but they have no metallic ring, and are short in weight nearly one half. Burrell and Thomas claim that they came into possession of the bad coins innocently. - FIREMEN AS FIREBUGS. Council Bluffs, la., Oct. 12. -This city has a great sensation in hand.
