Washington, Jan. 2S After n del)ate, animated at all times, and occasionally acrimonious, which occupied the greater part of this week, the senate this even ing by the decisive vote of 47 to SZ passed th,e Teller coneui rent lesolutlon. The resolution Is a pnetlc.il lealllrma tlon of that of Stanley Matthews In 1878, and Is as follows. "That all the bonds of the United States Issued 01 authoilzed to he Issued under the said acts of congress heie inbefoie recited, are payable, prlnclp.il and Intel est, at the option of the gov ernment of the Ignited States in silver dollars of the coinage of the Unlttd States contulnlng four hundred and twelve and one-hnlf grains each of staiulaul sllvei , und that to icstore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender In payment of said bonds, prin cipal and interest, fs not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the lights, of the public creditor." All the efforts to amend the resolu tion were voted down by majorities langing from live to twenty-nine, Mr. Lodge's gold standard substitute being defeated by the latter majority. The vote on the Lodge amendment was: Ayes, 24: nays, C3. The events of the day leading up to the flnal vote were full of interest and importance. It was a field day for the oratois of the senate, no lets than twenty-five senatois embracing the op portunity to speak upon the subject under discussion. That the debate was interesting was attested by the attend ance in the galleries, which were crowd ed throughout the day, and that It was important was evidenced by the state ments of several of the speakeis that the discussion was but the preliminary aigument of the great political parties for the contest of 1900. VOTING BEGINS From 10 o'clock this morning until 7 this evening, the contest was contin ued. When the voting began It was evident that party lines were being broken on both sides of the chamber, but it was on the substitute offered by Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, that the most decided break occuned. On the Republican side Mr. Allison, of Iowa, and Mr. Burroww, of Michigan, did not answer to theli names on that roll call, and many of the Republicans voted diiectly against it. Upon the final passage ot the resolution some Republicans who suppoited McKInley nnd the St Louis platform In 1S96, like Carter, of Montana: Chandler, of New Hampshlie, Claik, of Wyoming; Pt it chat d, of North Coloiado; Shoup, of Idaho; Wnuen, of AVyonilng, and Wol cott, of Colorado, voted for the reso lution, because, as Mr. Wolcott an nounced, they did not believe the leso lution committed those who suppoited it to the flee and unlimited coinage of sliver At the beginning, speeches In sup poit of the resolution weie made by Messrs. Stewart (Nev.), Cannon (Utah), and Jones (Ark ) Mr Burrows (Mich ) was the first speaker in opposition, and he was fol lowed by Mi. White (Cal ) In support. Mr. Fairbanks (Ind ) followed against the resolution. He said the purpose of the resolution was not frankly expressed on Its face, and it was only in the course of the debate that It developed that the essential purpose was to give an expiession of the United States senate favorable to the free and unlimited coinage of sli ver at the latlo of 16 to 1 In the couise of his rematks, Mr. Fairbanks read a telegram lecelved by him from Secretaiy Gage as to the methodB in paying bonds In this Mr. Gage states that gold when demand ed is not lefused, but as a mattei of fact gold Is seldom called foi, and few payments ate made In gold Refeulng to Senator Teller's ndvoeacy of fiee silver, Mr. Fairbanks said that while he did not question the lofty put poses Inspiring the Colorado senatoi. vet they had carried him to the point where all else was dependent on this one question of sllvei. It was an ad vocacy; ardent that the senator seemed ready to follow his Ignus fatuus even though It plunged the countiy Into tho morass of government dishonor. 'Commenting on Mr, Tellers speech on Cuba, China and the need of a strong foreign policy, Mr. Fall banks declared that he feaied the Colorado senator would be willing to nea his country wrapped in the flames of war if his one aim of fiee silver was ac complished, for, said the Indiana sen ator, the first gun flied would bring us to a depreciated sliver basis, MU. FORAKCR'S OPINION. ' Mr. Foraker (O.) thought the tesolu tlon'S meaning ought to bo made clear, it being evident there was a gieat di versity of opinion on that point. Bo llevlng as he did that tho present leso lutlon was a coveit effort to foist fiee and Independent coinage of sliver upon the countiy, he thought the senator from Cplorndo ought to havo presented a free coinage resolution. "You would not have voted for It," said Mr. Teller. "Of course I would not," replied Mr. Foiaker, "but that would have been the fair way to bring the question Into the senate." " Mr. Foraker declared himself in favor of International bimetallism, or as an alternative to maintain the present financial status. The endorsement of the terms of the resolution In Mr. For aker's opinion would not bring about bimetallism, but would force the gov ernment to a silver basis. Mr. Chilton (Tex.) In a legal argu ment advocated the restoration of the standard sliver dollar to coinage and their use In the payment of the govern ment's obligations. Mr. Allison said that the clear pur pose of the pending resolution was to commit the country to the free and un limited coinage of silver at 1G to l.when It was almost axiomatic, he declared, that such a course w lthout concur icnce of other nations will lead us In evitably to the illver standard alone and to silver monometallism. And yet senators weio asked to sanction this monstrous proposition monstrous In the change It proposed. Air. Tillman (S. C.) thought this dis cussion was simply the manouvilng of political parties for position in the gicat contest that was to be fought in 1900. The people, he said, would win In that contest as they hid won In every light they had ever made for freedom. He denounced as hypocrisy the plank of tho Republican national platform, and Insisted that It was an effort to fasten the gold standard on the country Boiled down to Its es sence, he said, the question was wheth er the tieenbacks should be redeemed and additional power conferred upon national banks. TILLMAN ATTACKS ECKELS. He made an attark upon foimer Comptroller Eckels for his action re gatdlng th Chestnut Stieet National bank of Philadelphia, and declared the . that six of the last ton comptrol lers of the currency had graduated from the treasury "pest house" to be piesidents of national banks or trust companies, proved that those men weie owned by the banks or had been brib ed. Mr. Aldrlch said this issue was the opening of a contest between those who favored a cheaper monev nnd those who believed the United States was bound at every hazard to maintain the parity of every dollar ever issued by the government. It was tho open ing of a contest between silver mon ometallslm and the friends of real bi metallism. At a time when the Re publican party was seeking to strength en tli currency of the country this miserable measure was brought for ward. "We Intend to meet this Issue squaie ly," declared Mr. Aldrlch. "We are responsible to the great party we rep lesent and beyond that to the Ameri can people, and we propose so far as we may to maintain the honor and ciedlt of the government." It being now 6 o'clock the vice presi dent announced that the voting would proceed. The Nelson amendment was first pre sented, declaring "that It is the duty of th ,rovrnment of the United States under existing laws to maintain the parity in value of its gold and silver money so that the dollar of the one metal shall for all monetary purposes alwavs be equal In value to the dol lil of the other metal."

Mr. Vest moved to table the amtnd ment. "I hope the senator will withdraw the motion to table," Interposed Mr. Wolcott, "so that we may huve a direct vote on gold."

Jan. 2$s Officials at the navy department breathed easier this morning when a telegram came to the department from Lieutenant Bernadou announcing that thetorpedoboat Wins low had artlved at Delaware Break water. The little boat sailed away from New port on the morning of the 23th, bound for Kev West, where she was to join the flotilla. Her commander, Lieuten ant Bernadou, had the choice of his course, and might have taken what Is known as the Inland waterway almost all of the wav to Floilda If he cared to do so. Inasmuch as the Wlnslow was a new nnd almost untiled boat, he would have been justified In this choice, even In the best of summer weather. But the boat was pointed stiaight out to sea, laving a course for the Florida coast direct, her commander taking the chances of rough weather to asceitaln the qualities of his boat. He had the very best of opportunities, for before the day passed the weather buieau notified the navy department that gales were to blow, and beginning that night they did with gieat violence The wind kept up off the coast for two days, and as news came of the loss of big ocean barges and tugs, the ofllclals were con cerned for the little Wlnslow. However, when Lieutenant Berna dou reported this morning that he had ariived at Delaware Bieakwater he added that he had biought in with him two men, M. A. Mattlson and K. Hen dilckson, whom he had rescued fiom a drifting scow foity miles off New York, and the naval ofllcers aie won dering how the people on the Wlns low managed to pick the men up In the midst of the storm, while the waves weie tunning clear over their own little boit and she was riding out the blow. Lieutenant Beinadou leported that ho would take coal at the breakwater and icpoit next at Norfolk. SEVEN DAYS TO KLONDIKE. Itailronil from Vancouver to Re in Opcrntion in Septoinbei.

The report that Rus sia has offered China a loan on the same terms as Gieat Britain, is con firmed. London, Jan, 28. It Is announced in a special despatch from Pekln that after Russia had offered China a loan on the .same terms as Great Britain, China Invited Russia to guarantee to defend her against the possible dis pleasure of Great Britain. Russia, It appears, was evasive In her leply; but, a simlliur guaiantee asked of Great Britain against Russia was promptly agreed to. The Pekln coi respondent of the Times say: "The French attitude has undergone a sudden change and now appears to give a reluctant support to the menacing language of the Rus sian agent, M. Pavloff (charge d'af faires), at Pekin, against the opening of T.i Lien Wan. The Chinese, "hav ing made inquliles, disbelieve that M. Pavloff's statement that Russia can provide a loan on the same financial terms ns Great Britain. "At the meeting of the grand coun cil last night (Thursday) the Chinese decided to approach the English and Russian governments with a proposal of compromise, each power to provide one-half of the loan on Its own finan cial terms and the other conditions to be adjusted between them."
