TUESDAY, May 20-House.-The house
resumed consideration of the Warner
silver bill. The third section was
agreed to without amendment, ayes 113.
nays 10. The question then REQUIRED on
the fourth section which provides that
charges for melting and refining shall
be fixed by the director of the mint.
Mr.. Marsh submitted an amendment
that the charges shall be the deficiency
between the market value Of bullion
and the legal tender coin. Agreed to
yeas III, noes 105. AS the
effect of this amendment was
practically the same as that amend
ment offered by Fort, except it did not
involve the opponents of silver coinage
in any inconsistency, the vote was
watched with very keen interest on both
sides and the result was greeted with
applause on tho republican side.
The democrats and greenbackers who
voted for the amendment were Beltz-
hover, Bliss, Covert, De La Matyr,
Deuster, Gibson, Hurd, Jones, Martin,
of Delaware, Martin of Georgia. CARR
son, Morse, O'Reilly, Poehler, Ross,
Russell, of Moth Carolina, Springer,
Talbot and F. Wood. Republicans
and greer hackers who voted against
it were Daggett, Ford, Gillett, Kelly,
Ladd, Low, Murch, Stevenson
son, Weaver and Yokum. A
motion to reconsider and to lay that
motion on the table, the parliamentary
formula of making the vote final, was
then made and carried. The house
then adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, May 21-Senate The
senate was not In session.
WEDNESDAY, May 21-House.- The
house resumed consideration of the
Warner silver bill. The question being
on the fourth section as amended yester-
day, on motion Of Marsh IS follows:
The charge for the conversion of gold
and silver bullion into coin shall be the
difference between the market value in
New York city of bullion, and the legal
tender value of the coin. A vote vas
taken on the section, the friends of the
bill voting against, and the opponents
of the bill for the section.
The fourth section as amended was
agreed to; yeas, 1lS; nays, 100; a re.
suit which was greeted with applause
on the republican side. The following
democrats voted in the affirmative:
Beethoven, Bliss, Cover, Deuster, Hord,
Martin of Delaware, Morrison, Morse,
O'Reilly, Poehler, Ross, Springer, Tai
bolt, and +. Wood. Jones, of Texas,
greenbacker, voted in the affirmative,
and Kelly in the negative. The house,
by yeas 40, nays 100, tabled the motion
to reconsider the vote by which the
fourth section was agreed to. Just pre-
vious to the announcement, Springer,
who had in the affirmative sustained
the Marsh amendment in all its stages,
changed lis vote to the
negative, thus placing it within
the power of the speaker to defeat the
motion to lay on the table by making a
tie vote. The speaker did not ex-
ercise that constitutional privilege.
The fourth section, therefore, re-
mains irrevocably in the bill. The 9th
section which directs the payment Of
small silver coins to the extent that they
may be required in exchange for gold
coin or for standard silver dollars or for
U. S. notes at par. in sums not less than
$50, was agreed to. Mr.. Warren
demanded the previous question on
the 9th section, which makes gold
coins and standard silver dollars legal
tender IN all payments. The
previous question was seconded.
Mr.. Weaver moved to amend the
sixth section by adding a clause di-
recting the secretary of the treasury to
cause to be paid out without discrlm-
nation standard silver coin belonging
to the government that may be in the
treasury the same as gold coin in liqui-
dation of all kinds of coin obligations
against the government. Agreed to-
142 to IS. The following republicans
voted in the affirmative: Anderson, Bel
ford, Boyd, Browne, Carron, Caswell, Dag
gett, Deering, DunnelI, Fort, Haskell,
