perhaps from a trifiing or unconscious ex-

well proven its efficacy in forty years fight

THE HOUSE.

After the conclusion Of the call of states
for bills and resolutions, Mr.. Bland, of Mis-
souri,, from the committee on coinage,
weights, and measures, moved the suspen-
sion Of the rules and the adoption Of the
following resolution:
That House bill No. 5000. for the free coinage
of silver. be made special order for Saturdays,
Goth and 9th instants, and Saturday, April 3,
and the same be again taken up Tuesday, April
@, after the morning hour for the consideration
of bills reported by committees, and so to con.
tlnue from day to day until disposed of Pro.
uded, That unless sooner ordered the House,
the previous question shall be pending there.
on az 3 o'clock Thursday, April 5, this order not
alton bills except on Thursday, April 8, fixed
for the final disposition OF this order.
Mr.. Hiscock, Of New York, demanded
second, which was secured-yeas 90,
nays 2S.
Mr.. Hiscock opposed the resolution. He
saw no good which could come from the
consideration of the adverse report. He
did not believe that majority Of the House
was in favor Of unlimited silver coinage
Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, thought the
subject should be discussed by Congress,
so that views of members might 20 out to
the country. He favored the suspension of
| silver coinage.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, would oppose
| the resolution, because he thought no legis-
lation on the silver question was wise at
| this time.
Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, favored turning
| In the light on the question. He did not
think the advocates of silver would be
found to be afraid OF any discussion.
Mr.. Brown, Of Pennsylvania, favored
| free discussion.
Messrs. Weaver, OF Iowa, and Warner, of
| Ohio, considered the silver question the
most important question now pending be-
fore the people and one which Congress
should have ample time to discuss.
Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, said the House
would stultify itself by refusing to go on
record on the question He intimated' that
the silver men would have vote on the
bill il it should be necessary in order to ac-
complish that to keep Congress in session

Mr.. Springer thought that Congress ought
to decide the question one way or the other.
After further debate the motion to sus-
pend the rules and adopt the resolution
was agreed to-yeas 179, nays 81.
The announcement Of the vote was re-
ceived with hearty applause from the sill.

Messrs Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Dougherty,

Mr.. Manlcy Disposes of n Malicious
INSTRUMENTATION of Mr.. Blaine.

EDIToR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The
Eyeiing str OF this city contains the fol-
lowing Item
a special Washington dispatch TO the New
York Sun of today states that Mr.. Blaine Is
using his influence to defeat the purpose of the
Edmunds report and the adoption of the rcso.
luton binding the Senate TO reject nomina-
tons about which papers are refused. This
dispatch purports to be based upon statements
made by Mr., Joseph Manley, of Maine, who Is
now in Washington, and who is said to have
Mr.. Blaines confidence aud to represent him.
According to these alleged statements Mr.
Blaine slstains the attitude of the President,
and holds that the Senate Is wrong.
The special Washington dispatch to the
New York SW. is entirely unfounded aud
absolutely untrue. have never heard Mr..
Blaine express any opinion upon the posi-
ton Of the President or the Edmunds reso-
luton. / do not know his views upon these
questions. l have not represented to any
one what his views were, nor have / had
any interview with any newspaper man
since have been in Washington. My visit
here is purely social one, and has no po-
litical connection or significance whatever.
trust you will do me the justice to pub
lish this denial Of the SuR's dispatch, which
was not only published in the Sui,, but
copied-as stated above-into the Star Of
this evening. am, very truly, yours,
