Sides of the Chamber—Two
Principal Votes In Detail. |J|||
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—After a debate animated at all times and occasionally acrimonious, which, occupied the greater part of this week, the senate last evening by the decisive vote of 47 to 32 passed the Teller concurrent resolution. The resolution is a practical reaffirmation of that of Stanley Matthews in 1878, and is as follows:
That all of the bonds of the United States issued, or authorized to lie issued under the said acts of congress hereinbefore recited, are payable, principal and interest, at the option of the government of the United States, in silver dollars of the coinage of the United States containing 412% grains each of standard silver and that to restore to its coinage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor.
All efforts to amend the resolution were v»ted down by majorities ranging from 5 to 29, Mr. Lodge's gold standard substitute being defeated by the latter majority. Jv iel(l Day For Orators.
The events of the day leading up to the final vote were full of interest and importance. It was field day for the orators of the senate, no less than 25 senators embracing the opportunity to speak upon the subject under discussion. That the debate was interesting is attested by the attendance in the galleries which were crowded throughout the day and that it was important was evidenced by the statements of several of the speakers that the discussion was but the preliminary alignment of the great political parties for the contest of 1900.
When the voting began it was evident that party lines were being broken on both sides of the chamber, but it was oil tf)e substitute offered by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, that the most decided, break occurred. On the Republican side, Mr. Allison (la.), and Mr. Burrows (Mich.), did not answer to their names on the roll call, and many of the Republicans voted directly against it. Upon the final passage of the resolution, some Republicans who supported McKinley and the St. Louis platform in 189C, like Carter (Men.), Chandler (N. H.), Clark (Wy.), Pritchard (N. C.), Shoup (Ida.), Warren (Wy.), and Wa'lcott (Col.), voted for the resolution because, as Mr. Wolcott announced, they did not believe the resolution committed those who supported it to the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Lodge Amendment.
The Lodge amendment and the vote thereon was as follows: "That all the bonds of the United States, issued or authorized to be issued under the said acts of congress hereinbefore recited, are payable, priucipal and interest, in gold coin or its equivalent, and that any other payment without the consent of the creditor, would be in violation of the public faith and in derogation of his rights."

WRECKING OF THE CORONA.
Passengers Wi-ro All. I.unded Surely on an Island.
SBATTLE, Jan. 31.—Twenty-live of the passengers of the ill-fated steamer. Corona, which was wrecked on Lewis Island a week ago, arrived here last night on the steamer Al-Ki, which rescued them from tile lonely island. E. W. Pollock, who was a passenger on the Corona, in describing the wreck, said: "The accident occurred at 9:10 a.m. Sunday. The morning gong had sounded to awaken the passengers for breaklas' About 100 of tljem had already arisen. Capt. G. H. Pierce and Pilot H. F. Coffman were on the bridge. It was Colt'mau's first trip as pilot. The day was light enough to see the shore on all sides. Suddenly while the ship was going at full speed, without warning, a terrible shock occurred, followed by a grinding succession of lesser shocks.
Instantly it was realized that the ship had struck a rock and a scene of great confusion followed. The wheel was reversed but tho ship settled on the rock. The sea was calm. Captain Pierce ordered the boats lowered. The women were taken ashore first. By 10 o'clock the passengers were all landed. The stock and some ef the baggage and provisions were then taken ashore.
Tho passengers remained on the island until Thursday wailing for a passing steamer to take them away from a place of great persoual discomfort. On Thursday the steamer Al-Ki arrived and J300 castaways boarded her, about 100 remaining on the island in the hope of catching a northbound vessel.
About- 10 o'clock Thursday night the A1 Ki met the steamer Oregon, bound from Portland to Dyea and Skaguay.
The two steamers were lashed together and all but :.'5 of the Corona's people were transferred and started north again. It is not believed that the injuries to the Corona are serious.

I found it and kept it, which was not according to God's word, and am very sorry for it. I ask forgiveness and inclose
