TILE TOTES on SLLTER.

The votes in the Coinage Committee, on vari-
Gus propositions regarding silver, disappont
both parties. Mr.. Bland evidently expected a
majority in the committee to favor his bill for
unlimited coinage of silver but it received only
four votes. The opponents of continued coin
age evidently expected majority in the com
mittee in favor of some compromise, but the
only one offered, that of Mr.. james. was voted
down, receiving only four votes. The first vote
taken in committee was on this proposition,
and at the morning session. Mr.. James's bill
proposed reneWe ed negotiations and the appoint
mcnt of permanent commission for that pur-
pose and the suspension Of coinage after a fixed
date if the negotiations shall at that time have
brought no result Only four mcmb,rs-James,
of Ncw-York Scott, of Pennsylvania Rock
well of Massachusetts, and llcmphl, of South
Caroina-vOtcd for this measure. At least one
member of the committee, Mr.. Seymour, OF
Connecticut. who opposes any continuance OF
coinage, voted against the measure, believing
no compromise desirable.
The next vote was at the evening session on
Mr.. BANDS bill for free coinage. Only four
members voted for this bill-Bland, of Missouri !
Lanham, of Texas McCrcary, of Ken'uoky /;
appointment to Mr.. Bland. he had expected
the support OF three other members. 1t turns
out that Mr. FELTON,, of California, who was not
present, would have Supported the bill, but in
any case there was majority against it. The
next proposition was to report against bill for
immediate suspension Of coinage, which motion
was lost by tie vote, but would have been
carried if Mr. FELTON, had been present, as fol-
low: Ycas-Blaud, Lanham, McCreary, Nor
wood, Bynum, Fuller and FELTON,; nays-Scy-
mOur, Hemphill, Scott, James, Rockwell and
Little. AS to naked suspension, therefore, the
committee has one majority against such q
measure.
Finally came the vote on Mr.. James's n otion
to report against Mr. BANDS bill for unlimited
coinage. This motion was carried, seven to
five, and would have carried seven to six had
Mr.. FELTON, been present. The six members
who voted against the previous motion voted
for this, with the addition of Mr.. Norwood, of
Georgia. In the absence Of Mr.. FELTON,, Mr.
Bland had only four supporters.
AS a result of these votes, the qucst On goes
into the House without any compromise. The
report adverse to Mr.. BANDS bill for unlimited
coinage will be debated and, Mr.. Bland be-
lieves, will be defeated in the House. 1t is UNI
fortunate in some respects that no vote was
taken in committee on any other form of com
promise except the one proposed by Mr.. James,
though it may be in the power of members
after the debate in the House to secure direct
vote on some compromise measure as n Sibst,-
tute for Mr.. BANDS bill. Meanwhile there is a
prospect of a long debate. during which the in
dustry OF the country will inevitably suffer by
delay.

THE THOMAS POPULAR CONCERTS.
The illness of Mr.Jacques Bouhy, baritone and

to do it is to push forward Mr.. Parkers bill

farmers approve so heartily. 1t provides for a

I The demand for permission to raise volunteer
troops TO hunt Apaches is still pressed in Con-
gress, despite the anticipated surrender of
Geronimo and his band to General Crook. 1t
seems to be the impression in New Mexico and
Arizona that these Indians will be granted
liberal terms, and then march back in triumph
to their reservations, only to go on the war-path
again when they grow tired of life at San
Carlos. There is nothing as yet to support this
supposition. General Crook realizes what
crimes these Indians have been guilty OF and
that they must not 90 unpublished. There is
no need, therefore, to abuse the Regular Army

1t is not quite clear why the Democrats in
Congress are anxious to share with Mr.. Villas
the discredit of trying to injure American
ocean steamship lines. They are likely to make
so many political mistakes of their own before
the present session is ended, that one would
think they would not care to shoulder response
bility for the Postmaster Generals errors. But
still they are willing, and the bill to compel the
companies to carry the mails at the present in
adequate rates of compensation will probably
pass the House by strict party vote The
Senate ought to kill the measure, or at least to
see to it that the companies are properly paid
for their service.
