fac Esoad Esisi Adopted.

pic;s the scene when Stewart
work from Nevada resulted in
victory for silver.
! John Sherman and the anti-silve
men received a severe blow today
Senator Beck amendment to tn
Bond Purchase bill, as predicted il
the recent dispatches, was adopted
this afternoon by the decisive vot'
OF 81 ayes to IS noes.
| On all sides tie result is regarded
as a heavy setback to Sherman
who has been holding the Finance
Committee in tie hollow OF his
hand, and so has been able to per-
petuate the policy he forced on the
country while Secretary of the
Treasury, while he stood as the bull
wark of Wall street and contrac-
ton.
Stewart OF Nevada openly charg-
ed tina. the committee, headed by
Sherman, either knowingly or not,
were the instruments of stock job
bers. The Chairman made brief
reply and the vote was called for,
when it resulted as follows:
THE DIVISION.
Ayes-Allison, Beck, Berry,
Blackburn, Bowen, Brown, Butler,
Call, Cameron, Cockrell, Coke, Col
quit, Cullom, Daniel, Davis Faulk-
ner, George. German, Hampton,
ingalls,, Joass, of Arkansas,

Senators Harris, Morgan, Hearst,
Pasco, Ransom and Reagan, who
would have voted aye, were paired
with Morrill,, Evarts, Payne, Quay,
Stockbridge and Edmunds, who
would have voted no
The small force rallied by the
gold men, backed with all the pow
err of the Finance Committee, oc-
casioned the greatest surprise, and
was regarded as significant OF Sher-
mans position before his party.
After the vote was taken an
incident took place. Sena-
tor Allison, who is a candidate
for the Presidential nomination on
the Republican ticket, is one of the
sharpest politicians now living.
Like a cat he has watched the pro-
gress of the debate, and being con-
WINGED that the silver men would
win, and SO destroy Sherman's
threw his fortunes with
them. Allison promptly seized an
opportunity to drive another mai: in
his rivals political coffin, for i'll
quite an effort, he denounced his for
mer friends policy, and exposed !
methods in a merciless |
manner. 1t was an Interesting ex-
libition.
Summing up the result IN political
circles tonight it is openly claimed
hat the influence of the Wall-street
ing in the Senate is broken, and that
he adoption of the amendment
means the placing OF silver on par
With gold at an early date. On the
inal passage OF the bill tomorrow
is expected that the majority will
,e increased
One significant fact will be OBJ
erved by a glance at the vote.
The only Pacific Coast Senator's
lame that is missing is that of I
)olph, of Oregon. 1t is certain that
,e was in the Senate chamber few
minutes before the roll was called,
nd then left. This course was
it is understood, in defer
nee to request of Sherman.
)oiph, however, would not have
AIRED to vote against the propo-
ltion, and, therefore, did what was
qually as friendly to the anti-silver
len, left the chamber without hay {
