fpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.1

a,,s,once with worse record than any Congress
- ,,,ontv years 50 far as the farmers of the coun-
,rv are concerned.
HE motion 10 suspend the rules and concur in the
c,rato amendments TO tho bill was defeated by
a vote of l72 yeas u 124 nays-twenty five less
Zion two-thirds. The bill passed the House last
Iure On a motion to suspend the rules by vote
=, ,G7 10 46, twenty-five more than two-thirds.
Th. was five months before the Presidential cleo
zion the vote to-day was four months after the
,.o.;dential election. Among the Democrats who
,.o,sd for the bill III June, 1892, were twenty
u..n vbo voted against it to-day. They were
Ms Bentley and Cox. of New-iorS De Forest

Michigan: Wickc of Illinois; and Wise. Of Vir
cina. Mr. Simpson (Populistl, of Kansas. who
voted for the bill at the last session. was re-
corded in the negative to-day.
The discussion Of the bill in the Senate, to-
c..her with some indications that the demand
for the passage was not so strong and unanimous
rs at first supposed, probably changed some of
these votes: and it is not altogether improbable
that considerations not wholly unrelated to tho
distribution of offices by the incoming Administra
ton may have influenced other votes. MIR.
Morton, who is to succeed Secretary Rusk. has
already publically announced that he Is opposed
10 such legislation; and the inference naturally
is that Mr. Cleveland is also opposed to it. OF
the twenty-three Democrats who charged their
votes. thirteen Messrs. BENTLEY, Cox. WILCOX
Bowman Coburn, Coolidge. Cowles, Dlckerson,
Gillespie Hemphl, Mckinney, Wheeler and

are Mcssrs Bowman, IIemphill, Mckinney,
Wheeler and Wicke.

declared that his committee had evidence i'll l's
possession showing tnat the passage or thc meas
ure was desired by 90 per cent OF 'he iar'''i'
