after few minutes devoted to the trans
action of unimportant business, the SON
ate, on motion of Mr. Sherman, went into
executive session on the Behring sea oues-
ton. y. -..

was resumed and continued through out
the day.
Thursday.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The house
spent the day up to o'clock in debating
the Bland silver bill. At that hour tho
speaker closed the debate according to
agreement, and Mr.. Bland moved the
previous question. Mr.. Burrows imme-
d1ately moved to lay on the table. There
was an exciting time, and when the vote
on the motion to table was counted 1t was
found there were 14S to 147 in favor. Mr..
Crisp. before the vote was announced, said
he desired to be recorded as voting no. This
made a tie, and the motion to table
was consequently lost. A motion to re-
consider finally prevailed, when the anti
silver men adopted flibuseering tactics.
The greatest confusion reigned until 1870

silver bill then took its place as a special
order and goes on the calendar
The senate was only in session a short
time before an executive session on the
Behring sea question was ordered.
