Condemns the White rIetaI.

NASH1NGTON, aug, 2S.-IDe galleries. OF
the House were crowded to-day long before
the time for the assembling by persons in
terested in the result OF the balIoting on
the silver question after two weeks of de-
bate, and when the Speaker raped for
order at noon nearly every seat in the hall
was filed. While waiting for a call to
order Bland freely admitted that the
claims of the anti-silVer men of a majority
of fifty were well founded, and might be
exceeded It looked as if the Wilson bill
might go through with little or no friction.
After reading the journal Weaver of
New York appeared at the bar of the
House and was sworn in. Then the clerk
reported the resolution containing the
order of procedure on the silver question.
providing for the vote first on the free
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l.
Bailey Of Texas asked if. in case all the
amendments as to the ratio were defeated,
it would be in order to propose an ad-
ditional amendment?
The Speaker thought not, but would
hear the gentleman On the subject when
the time came to formally present the
subject.
McMillin of Tennessee wished to offer
an amendment for the free coinage of the
product of the silver mines OF the United
States. Bland objected even to the read
Ing. saying it was not free coinage at all.
Then the Wilson bill, repeating the sill
ver-purchase clause of the Sherman act,
was read and Bland offered his first amend
ment for free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1.
This was defeated, ayes 124, noes 226,
amid applause from the anti-silver men,
who did not expect so large a majority.
This was the really decisive vote upon
the silver question, and was so recognized.
