SILVER LEGISLATION.
There Will Be None By This Congress.
SO DECIDED BY THE SENATE.
air. Jones' Bill For the Unrestricted CoinHe sf Silver Practically Defeated—Tike bpjjjMlllou Heady to Talk Against Time.
The House Discusses the Naval Appropriation Bill—Several Bills Passed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—At 9 o'clock last night the senate adjourned, after a determined but fruitless effort on the part of the silver men, led by Mr. Jones of Arkansas, to pass the bill for the unrestricted coinage of silver. Mr. Jones himself made the motion to adjourn after it had been made evident that a voting quorum of senators could not be held in the senate chamber for an allnight straggle.
One of the surprises immediately preceding the adjournment was a resolution submitted by Mr. Wolcott of Colorado, one of the most active silver leaders, declaring that while the welfare of the country required the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, yet in view of the near adjournment of congress and the pressing demand of appropriation bills it was inexpedient to enter upon the consideration of the silver bill at the present session of congress. No action was taken on the resolution, but it was agreed as significantly foreshadowing the course of the silver when it does 3ome up.
The silver forces asserted their strength at the outset of the proceedings yesterday and by a vote of 36 to 27, displaced the morning business, and took up the silver bill before the regular order had been reached.
Mr. Vilas of Wisconsin then took the floor for four hours, in a carefully prepared speech defending the administration for the recent bond contract.
When Mr. Vilas concluded at 5:30 p. m., active steps were taken by the silver men to force a final vote. It was evident, however, that the opposition was ready to talk against time, and thus carry the debate through the night, if necessary, to cut off a vote.
Mr. Piatt of Connecticut then took the floor and made an argument against the bill, being frequently interrupted by points of no quorum and roll calls aud suggestions for closing debate.
Mr, Jones appealed to the opposition to fix a time for a vote but no agreement could be reached.
At 8 o'clock the senate business was brought to a standstill by the failure to secure a quorum, on Mr. Aldrich's motion to go into executive session. From that time until adjournment vain efforts were made to secure a voting quorum, although a quorum was present most of the time, many senators refusing to vote. The tedious process continued until 9 o'clock, when Mr. Jones reluctantly yielded and the long session closed.
House Proceedings,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—The house spent the day in the further consideration of the naval appropriation bill. The points of order made by Mr. Sayers against the items for the increase of the enlisted force of the navy were overruled, and his amendments looking to their elimination were defeated.
The committee on naval affairs were victorious on every test of strength taken. The paragraphs providing for the increase of the navy (the battleships and torpedo boats) has been reached ajid the committee is sanguine that the increases recommended will be authorized despite the determined opposition of Chairman Sayers of the appropriation committee, who announced yesterday that he would fight the authorization of the new ships until the close of the ses sion.
The conference report on the bill to extend the time for making the returns under the income tax law were agreed to, and several bills of minor importance were passed at the opening of the session.

SHOT AT BY THE BANK CASHIER.
fL Constable acd His Deputy Take Fart In the Battle and the Cashier Is Shot by the Deputy—The Robber Captured and Landed in Jail—Azusa, California,
Excited.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 20.—Details have been received from the attempted bank robbery at Azusa, Cal., early yesterday morning. The bank was entered a week ago, and an attempt made to open the safe. Failing in this, the robber took from the counter a satchel which contained money put up to pay the Azusa- Valley Fruit association.
At the time of the first entrance Bookkeeper Anderson, who was sleeping in a rear room, heard the robber, but having no revolver, did not go out. Yesterday morning Cashier Daniels and Bookkeeper Anderson, who were sleeping in the rear room, heard the burglars enter. They jumped out into the bank, Daniels with a shotgun and Anderson with a revolver. The robber jumped through a window and ran. Daniels fired at him. At the time Daniels fired a deputy constable, Tom Stevens, was passing tne bank, and supposing that the robber had fired from the window, opened fire in the direction of the window. His first shot struck Cashier Daniels in the left Bhoulder.
Constable Crawford ran up at this time and gave chase to the robber, capiuring him. His name is Ellsworth Myers. He came to Azusa last December from Colorado and has been hanging around here ever since. He claims he did not fire a shot. Excitement runs very high on account of the attempted robbery and the careless shooting by Deputy Constable Stevens. Daniels is reported to be in a precarious condition, Myers says he had no confederate, but this is not believed.

yesterday sent to the house his veto of the bill to remove the charge of desertion against Jacob Eckert. The bill was introduced by Pepre.seutative Richards of Ohio. The president gives the record of the beneficiary, who lives at New Philadelphia, O.

The president then says: 'It seems to be that the provisions of this bill amounts to a judgment of a regularly constituted court and legislative pardon of offense of which the soldier was convicted. If this doubtful authority is to be exercisr-d by congress it should be done in .such a manner as not to restore a man properly convicted and sentenced as a deserter without even the allegation of injustice to the rights of pay, allowances and pension belonging to tlio.se who faithfully and Honorably engaged in the military service of tlitiir country."
