SILVER'S SETBACK,
a Midnight Session in the Lower
House of Congress.
TIGHT ON FREE SILVER DELAYED.

out Action, Which Kills the Free
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Mr. Butler,
an Iowa Democrat, closed the debate on
the silver bill in one minute speech.
He was cut off sharp at 8 o'clock by the
speakers gavel. Mr.. Bland (Mo.) then
demanded the previous question, and
pending this Mr.. Burrows (Mich.)
moved to lay the bill on the table and
demanded the yeas and nays, which
were ordered.
The vote was seen to be very close
and the excitement grew minute by
minute and the call was proceeded with
under great difficulties. 1t was almost
impossible to hear the responses, and
the recapitulation, a former order but
seldom resorted to, gave but little salts
faction. 1t afforded time, however, to
learn the exact status of the case, which
was that without the vote of the speaker
the motion to lay on the table had pre-
vailed by one majority. Messrs. Enloe
of Tennessee, and Herbert, of Alabama,
who would haye voted mo" asked to be
recorded, but as they could not answer
''yes" to the speakers query, WAS the
gentlemen in the hall and failed to hear
his name called?' their request was not
entertained.
Mr.. Bland asked to have his vote
changed from no" to ''aye" in order to
be able to move reconsideration, but
withdrew his request upon hearing the
speaker say, 1.-The clerk will call my
name, No." And then, amid a silence
as marked as had been the previous dis
ordey and racket, 1.-The vote on the mo-
ton to lay the bill on the table is: Yeas,
14S, nays 14S, SO the motion fails" In
the excitement the reading of the pairs
was overlooked, but being called for,
were stated by The clerk
The vote in detail on Mr.. Burrows
motion was as follows:
