WASHINGTON. Aug. 28-Under the I'm
preston that the order under which the
house has been operating the past two
weeks, 80 far as the hours of meeting wert
| concerned, prevailed to-day, the public
| galleries of the hell of the house of repre-
| sentatIves we're filled before 10 O'Clock and
| floor at that hour. The surrounding cor
| ridors and Hobbies of the floor were also
filled with e throHg of people curious to
know the outcome of the oratorical con-
test which hse been going on within the
chamber for fourteen days.
The practical outcome of the votes to be
taken was conceded on all hands to be the
defeat of every proposition relating to the
free coinage of silver at any ratio with
gold, and also of the resolution reviving
the Bland-Allison act of 1878.
This much was freely admitted by Rep
resentative Bland, the leader of the silver
forces.
He said that the estimate of the anti
silver committee of a majority of about
fifty against any of the several propositions
included within the order covering the
proceedings of the day might even be ex-
decided. "The influences that have been
brought to bear upon our men have had
their effect, and should not be surprized
to see the Wilson bill go through the
senate some day soon with little or no
friction"
The leaders of the house attracted the
usual amount of attention as they came
upon the floor. After the reading of the
journal, Mr.. Weaver of New York ap-
pesred at the bar of the house and was
sworn in by the speaker.
The resolution contained in the order of
procedure on the silver question was re-
ported by the clerk, providing for vote
first upon free coinage of silver at the pres
ent ratio of 16 to i.
Representative Bailey of Texas asked if,
In the event of all the amendments includ-
ed in the order being defeated, 1t would be
in order to propose an additional amend
ment germsue to the subject. Speaker
Crisp replied that as at present advised he
would answer nc; that the order provides
exhauetively all that the house may con-
slider, but that when the time came to for
mally present the question the gentleman
from Texas might be heard.
Representative AcMillin of Tennessee de-
sired to offer an amendment providing for
the free coinage of the product of the silver
mines of the United States, but Mr.. Bland
objected to even having it read saying that
such proposition was not free coinage
at all.
The roll was then called upon the amend
ment to the Wilson bill providing for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 18 to /.
1t resulted: Yeas 124, nays 226. Messrs.
Shell and Graham were paired, the former
in favor of free coinage,
The announcement of the vote was re-
ceived with applause and some surprise at
the majority against free coinage, 1t being
nearly double the largest estimate made by
the anti-silver committee. Mr.. Bland,
from q seat at the extreme left of the
speaker, smiled grimly as he heard the re-
snlt, nervously chewing and rocking to
and fro on his pivot chair. The figures
seem to show that majority of the demo-
cratic members voted against free coinage.
Mr.. Bland asked yea and nay vote on
the question of free coinage at the ratio of
II to 1 and secured it. The vote on the
question resulted: Yeas 100, nays 240.
On this vote, besides the loss of populist
votes, the members of that party With bold
ing their votes, there were several negative
votes from those who voted in favor of a
ratio of 16 to l..
Mr.. Bland then offered the amendment
providing for free coinage at a ratio of IS
to /, and demanded the yeas and nays.
There were protests against this, and Giles
of ''no," bat eighty-fve gentlemen fscond
cd the request, and the roll was again
called. On this gu sstion the yeas were 1902
and nays 239.
The next amenment was that providing
for free coinage at ratio of 10 to l. Yeas
and nays were demanded and ordered. The
roll call showed the following vote: Yeas
105, nays 1871.
The house began to vote on the Bland
free coinage substitute at 1919.
BANDS 16 to free coinage proposition
was defeatsd-yeas 1913, nays 225-a major
ity of 102 against silver.
The II to amendment was defeated
yeas 100, nays 240.
The Is to free coinege amend nent was
rejsctea-yeas 102, nays 239.
