WASHINGTON, March 25.-If Catchings
returns to Washington in time a special
order may be brought into the House on
Monday for immediate consideration of the
Bland silver bill and pending amendments.
Bland, during the afternoon session of the
House, disclosed his plan by the introduc-
ton of resolution fixing Monday, March
y, as the date on which the bill will be
taken up and put upon its passage. Ac-
companying the resolution is provision
giving the speaker power to refuse to en-
terrain any dilatory motion. The resolu-
ton went to the committee on rules.
In view of the extreme closeness Of the
vote on the silver question as disclosed last
night an analysis of the vote on tue test
motion OF Burrows 10 lay the Bland bill on
the table Is interesting. OF las votes in
favor of the motion 50 were cast by Demo-
Gratis and 66 by Republicans. The negative
vote SHOWS IL Republicans, the other l37
either Democrats or Alliance. The unex-
pectedly large showing of Democratic votes
against the slver bill came from the follow
ing states: New York 19, Pennsylvania 10,
! Wisconsin Z, Massachusetts z, Iowa s. New
Jersey, Ohio and Maryland each; New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Louisiana and
Minnesota each; South Carolina l,
(Brawleyl; Delaware l, (Causey);
west Virginia l.. (Wilson); Mis-
souri, l, (Robb); California l, (Geary).
OF the IL Republican votes, Vincent
A. Taylor, OF Ohio, was the only one east
of the Mississippi river. Kansas contri-
buted 2, in Broderick and Funston;
south Dakota 2 more-Pickler and
Jolly, while the other 6 votes came from
many different states: Colorado Clowns
end, Wyoming Clark, Nevada (Bartine),
q ho
gcn (Hermann).
The pairs announced were: Enochs with
Tarsney, Sanford with Elliott, Duroorrow
with Hooker, Of Mississippi; Morse with
Catchings, (. b. Taylor with Oates, Van
Horn with tombstone, Of South Carolina;
Henderson, of Illinois, with Peel, Rusk
with Compton, W. A. Stone with Jones' of
/ Virginia. The names first given in each
case are members who would vote against
the bill, and in the latter those who would
have voted for the measure.
The following is list of the members
not paired and who failed to vote: Camp
! bell, Waosworth and Sahlnecker, of New
YORK; Forman, Wike and Springer, of Il
linois; Cooper, of Indiana. Clover, of
Kansas; Cheatham, of North Carolina;
Donovan. of Ohio; Shell, of South Caro-
lima; Herbert, of Alabama; Lester of
Virginia; Boatner, of Louisiana; Enloe, of
Tennessee.
Figuring on the absentees according to
their previously expressed ideas, an abso-
lCtely full vote shows at least one majority
the silver men; but full vote is practi-
caIly unknown in the House and the silver
men coGcede wneu it comes to a very close
vote they are less able than their opponents
TO count on every vote.
The situation is less encouraging to the
silvermen when they come to consider their
future course, as the large showing made
has unquestlonably strengthened their OPP
ponentF, and some men who always voted
in favor of free coinage have since ex-
pressed themselves as disinclined, for po-
lltical reasons, to further push the matter.
