Reeds Reference of the Silver
Bill Stands,


WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 21.-There
was a buzz of earnest conversation in
the house when the speaker called it to
order to-day. What will be the next
move?" was the single topic discussed.
The little knot of Democratic leaders
were gathered around Mr.. BANDS seat,
and it was evident that plan of action
was being mapped out. The rainy
weather kept many from the galleries,
but nevertheless there was a fair
Sprinkling of spectators. The speaker
announced Immediately after the
journal had been approved without
objections, that the pending queS-
ton was motion to reconsider the vote
by which the yeas AMI nays on the mo-
ton of Mr.. Mckinley to lay on the table
the appeal of Nh Bland from the de-
ciSion of the speaker that Mr.. BANDS
resolution providing for the considera-
ton of the senate silver bill was out OF
order. Mr.. Bland said that he wanted
to withdraw the appeal, but Mr.. Nc
Kinley objected to this. This brought
Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, to his feet with
a question of order. He held that the
business on the speakers table should
be disposed of before other business

rates. After short controversy it was
decided that Mr.. McKinley's motion to
lay Mr.. BANDS appeal On the table was
in order, and on it the yeas and nays
were ordered. Before the vote was an
nOunced, most of the Democrats who
had voted
Withdrew Their Votes.
The result was yeas 146, nays As, and
the appeal was laid on the table. Bring
Ing his gavel down on the desk several
times, the speaker finally managed to
secure almost perfect quiet. Then sit
ting IN his chair. he made long state
ment concerning his action in referring
the silver bill to the committee on coin
age, weights and measures, and the
subsequent proceedings in the house in
regard to that action. In conclusion he
announced that the bill had been re-
ferred according to the rules, to the
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, and an appeal could be taken
from that reference. MIR. Bland i'm
mediately appealed, and Mr.. Mckinley
as quickly moved to lay that appeal on
the table Amid shouts of vote"
''yote." and mo debate" Mr.. Bland
hoped that some debate might be al
lowed, and this was finally agreed to.
Mr.. Bland argued that the bill had been
wrongly referred and was properly be-
fore the house. He was followed by
Mr.. Springer, who, after quoting from
the rules of the house, made the asser-
ton that the silver bill was the only bill
of its status that had been so referred.
There was long and acrimonious de-
bate, participated in by full score of
the leaders on both sides. The debate
having closed, Mr.. Mckinley moved to
table Mr.. BANDS appeal from the
speakers decision, sending the silver
bill to the coinage committee. The yeas
and nays were taken, resulting yeas
I44, nays III. So the appeal was laid
on the table. The following Republicans

McKinley's motion: Messrs. Bar
