FOR The 'STEENTH Time
Tho Torrey Bankruptcy Bill Finds
Itself Laid on the Shelf.
HIT BY A SUDDEN BLOW
Its Author Sits in tho Gallery and
Looks Sadly on at the Obse.
ouies-Anaiysis OF
the Vote.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The Torrey bank
ruptcy bill was stranglcd Unexpectedly by
the house just as the consideration of tho
bill under the five-minutc rule was about
10 begin. Oates, the champion OF the
measure, had declined TO permit the house
10 vote OH Bailey's substitute providing
simply for voluntary system of bank
ruptcy, whcreupon Bland precipitatcd the
entire question by moving to strike out
the enactiug clause OF tho bill. Vainly
the advocates of the measure protested
that IL was unfair to reject the bill before
tho house had had chance to perfect II
by amendment. Tho pleadings were I'M
availing. Tho voic was decisive. The
motion carried by 1i2 10 III. Judge Tor
rey, tho author of the measure. who
has been here 10 years promoting
the interests of the bill, sat disconso-
lately in tho gallery. The vote was not
n strict party one. An analysis shows that
lis democrats, Is republicans and popn-
lists voted to strike out tho cnacting
clause, and 6i republicans and ~ demo-
Gratis voted against IL.
Kilgorc of Texas called up the bill to nd-
init Utah to statehood and the republicans
began TO filibustcr. The morning hour
expired without action on the bill. After
its action on tho bankruptcy bill, the
house adjourned until Monday.

tain TO arise.
