WASHINGTON, May rs, 1874.
Virtual Defeat ofthe Senate Finance Bill
In the House-Smnn Hope OF Any Def
mite Action This Session.
By q vote, which, In the opinion OF members OF
Ong experience, decides the fate OF all financial
measures this session OF Congress, the House
to-day refused to suspend the rules to take up the
Senate Finance bill. Those who had the opportu-
atty OF hearing expressions OF opinion among inda-
honists and contractionists say that, whether
strengthened or weakened, majority cannot be
rot at this stage OF the proceedings to vote any
measure whatever. 1t is doubtful now whether
any further effort will be made this session to press
financial measure to q vote.
Fears OF the Defeat OF the Civil Rights
Bill In the House-Failure to Bring

ssuspenslOn OF the rules. The opinion prevails
among large number OF members that the bill
Will not go through the House, and 1t was even
laid that If 1t did pass the President had given an
ntimation that he would veto it. The leading re.
pnblicans are anxious that the Civil Rights bill
lhOuld be consigned to the tomb OF the Capulets
