The Silver Fight In the House Was Re-
sumed Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-[Speciall The
Speaker laid before the House this
morning the Senate silver free coinage
bill, and stated that under the rules it
would be referred to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures. Bland
asked that that committee have leave
TO Git during tho sessions OF the House.
To this request, Tracey, of New York
objected. Tracey then in1 uired whether
it was in the power of the House to
order another reference, and receiving
an affirmative answer, moved the refer
ence of the bill to the committee on
banking and currency. The vote re-
suited: Yeas 35, nays 114-no quorum
and a call of the House was ordered
One hundred and seventy nine Nom bers
responded to their names and Catchings,
of Mississippi, offered the following
resolution:
That all leaves of absence berevo-
fore granted, except such as were based
on sickness of the Representative or his
family, are hereby revoked. and the
sergeant-at-arms is hereby directed to
telegraph absent mem bers of this order,
oHN iSHuCSb ohCil Ct dCGC QQauCO
in order that public business may not be
delayed or INSTRUCTED for want of a
quorum" The resolution was adopted
and further proceedings under the call
dispensed with.
hequestion then required on Tracey's
motion to refor the bill to the commit
tee on banking and currency. The vote
stood; Yeas, 80; nays, 125-no quorum
A motion made by Rayner to adjourn
was defeated. Bland moved that a call
of the House be ordered. One hundred
and eighty eight members responded to
their names and further proceedings
under the call we're dispensed with On
the next attempt to take a vote the
quorum had again vanished and another
call OF the House was ordered. After
two or three repetitions of this seesew
game the House, on motion of Bland,
adjourned.
The Republicans took no active part
in the contest. They saw there was no
voting quorum present and that they
could therefore refrain from acting upon
either side, and at the same time es-
cape the charge Of lodging

THEIR ACTION coMmEsDED.
Tho Citizens of the Fourth Ward Are

Thoroughly Aroused.
A nc Getting was held by the citizens
last night in the southeastern portion
Of the city and tho following petition
will be presented to Mayor Trout to-
day with over one hundred names at
tached.
"To his honor HIS. Trout, mayor of the
city of Roanoke:
We, tho citizens of tho Fourth ward,
petition you to remove from our midst
the inmates of the house on the south
east corner OF Edgewood street and
Fifth avenue S. e. Also the house east
on an adjoining lot and the bawdy
houses on Holiday street, as We arc sat
isfed they are houses of ill-fame and as
such are communicating and prostitut-
ing not only tho present generation in
our community, but the next to come"
The above petition is headed by Capt.
M. NJ. Rogers, Charles Pillsbury, II.
L. Thomasson, and many other influen.
tial citizens of the Fourth ward.
The following communication was re-
quested to be published in THE TINES:
SIN reply through the columns of
respectively in the Daily Bee and Even
ing World, we, the citizens of the
Fourth ward, Indignantly protest
against the unfair account of q mid
night attack on the house occupied by
Nora Heath and her prostitute compan-
ions, as published in the above named
papers.
The Evening World seems not to
have entered into the details, and there
by do the people of our section q great
injustice. 1t is to be deplored that Roa-
noke's authorities should not recognize
the repeated petitions for the removal
of the pests and bawdy houses that have
infested our community. How was it
possible for such disgraceful scene to
be enacted in Roanoke?' is a question.
How was it possible for respectable
families to witness such disgraceful
scenes as were enacted on the afternoon
preceding the bonn bardment' at Nora's
fort? bloody fight occurred during
Sunday school services, and women and
innocent little children we're compelled
to witness this 'disgraceful scene en-
acted between Italians and lewd women
and their lovers. Where were the few
determined policemen when this event
occurred?
"Of course it is to be greatly deplored
that the awabiding citizens were
forced by the neglect of the municipal
authorities to take matters into their
own hands for the protection Of God,
home, respectable woman and helpless
little children, and we openly, in
citizens meeting, heartily commend the
action of the gang of masked outlaws

OMAHA. Neb., July 5.-lSpeciall-
The Old Guard has won and Gen. James
Is. Weaver, of Iowa, is the candidate
for the Peoples party. for President of
the United States. For fivs DAYS it has
been manifest that, of all the leaders of
the new party, Weaver was tho choice
Of the vast majority, but the peculiar
availability OF Gresham oyershadowed
his personality and it was not until the
distinguished jurist positively declined
to be candidate that the delegates

There were some who feared his

men who brought Senator KYLE, of
South Dakota, to the front, but the sem
timent that one Of the old guard should
be selected to lead the party was over
whelming, and Weaver's triumph was
finally most complete. Indeed the fail
ure of the Gresham movement reacted
promptly and powerfully in Weaver's
favor. The friends OF the Iowan have
commended for several days that those
who insisted in booming Gresham, aftor
his practical refusal to be candidate,
were actuated solely by desire to dc.
feat Weaver, and when the Gresham
movement finally collapsed it lent the
color of truth to this assertion, and
made the wavererS turn unanimously to
Weaver.
The candidacy was effective only in

Of the Senator. His own State delega-
ton has always insisted that Kyle was
not a candidate and the Senator him
self autographed that he did not desire
his namo to be presented to the conven-
ton. Despite this, however, the anti
Weaver men in the flush of their first
ephemeral success, wired Kyle that he
was the conventions choice and that
harmony demanded his nomination, and
thus finally succeeded in getting a
statement from the Senator that if his
name was demanded by the convention
in the interes, of harmony he supposed
he could not decline.
Upon this conditional assent the anti
Weaver men placed Kyle in nomination,
and made strenuous attempt TO carry
the convention, but even the elouuence
of the popular Bob Shilling was INSULT
cient to stem the Weaver tide. which
had been swelled by sudden reaction in
favor of the "Old Guard"
