GRAIN DISCOURAGED.
Special to the Gazette.
| WASHINGTON, April The published
report of the vote on the Grain resolution
in the House yesterday was entirely mis-
Leading Tae yea vote was only so and
the nay vote was l54. Had 1t been the
reverse, as stated, there might be some
encouragement for Mr.. Grain to try over
again, but as it stood he will probably
drop the matter for the session. The
opposition to the resolution in the House
is puzzling. The matter mas been most
favorsbly commented on by the press all
over the country and at one time seemed
to be without an opponent anywhere.
