Perhaps the most imnortant meeUrur
of the Finance Committee of the Senate
held during thisOongrees was that which
resulted in the decision of a favorable
report of the bill to repeal the Sherman
silver purcnase act. Bubeequently Sher
man reported the bill, and it was Disced
on the calendar. The meeting was large
ly anenuea, every member oemg pres
ent except senators Jones and Vance,
who is ill. While a majority was in fa
vor of the action taken, a vigorous on-
pueition was manueeteo oy uarris ol
Tennessee and Voorhees of Indiana.
Those who voted to report the bill favor
ably were Morrill, Sherman, Allison, Al
drich, Hiscock, McPhereon and Carlisle.
Senators Voorhees and Harris entered
an emphatic nrotestaminstthe nronaaed
action of the committee, and would have
been jiined by Senators Jones and Vance
had they been present. The meeting is
aaia to nave been interesting. This is
probably in reference to the speeches
made by Harris and Voorhees. They

Sion will now be transferred to the floor
of the Senate. Senator McPheraon said
the bill was satisfactory to him, although
he would rather have had his resolution
reported; One feature he did not ap
prove1 was: that which postponed the
time to January 1, 1804, but still he
thought it afforded a relief, for the peo
ple would know at that time at least that
the present inflation of currency would
end and the country would return to
currency and money not debased. Teller
ana voornees ao not believe the bill can
pass, and Voorhees is credited with sav
ing that not ten Democratic Senators
will vote for It.

should be bnilt, a depth of water suffi
cient to be of any use for floating ships

great a drain upon the lakes as to mate

This question will no doubt come up so

That It will make a great difference in
the consideration of the bill there can
be no doubt. As a matter of fact it may
be nositivelv stated that Cltmanua dmu

will accept any theory like this advanced
by scientific men and refuse the in

be expected to understand the topogra

there is not sufficient water-shed or rain
