HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Vote on the Wilson Repeal Rm and
Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2y.-Under the
impression that the order under which
tbs house has been operating the past
two weel $50 far as the hour of meeting
was concerned, prevailed, the public
galleries of the house of representatives
were filed before ii q. m. and many
members were in their seats on the
floor at that hour. The surrounding
corridors and lobbies OF the floor were
also filled with throng of people,
curious to know the outcome of the
oratorical contest which has been going
on within the chamber for IA days
The Outcome Admitted.
The practical outcome of the votes to
be taken was conceded on all hands to
be the defeat of every proposition relat-
ing to the free coinage of silver at any
ratio with gold and also of the resolution
reviving the Bland d-Allison act OF 1873.
This much was actually admitted by
Mr. Bland, the leader of the silver
forces. He said that the estimate Of
the anti-silver committee OF majority
OF about DO against any of the several
propositions included within the order
covering the proceedings of the day,
might even be exceeded. The in
huences that have been brought to
bear upon our men have had their effect
and | should not be surprised to see the
Wilson bill go through the senate some
day soon with little or no friction
After the reading Of the journal Mr..
Weaver OF New York appeared at the
bar OF the house on the arm OF his col
league. General Tracey. and was sworn
in by the speaker. The resolution con-
tanned in the order of procedure on the
silver question was reported by the
clerk providing for a vote first upon
free coinage of silver at the present
ratio of 16 to |. Representative Bailey
OF Texas asked il, in the event of all the
amendments included in the order be-
ing defeated, it would be in order to
propose an additional amendment
germane to the subject. Speaker
Crisp replied that as at present advised
he would answer no; that the order
provides exhaustively all that the house
may conclusively consider, but when
the time came to formally present the
question the gentleman from Texas
might be heard. Representative Nc
Millin OF Tennessee desired to offer an
amendment providing for the free coin
ge of prodnct OF the silver mines OF
the United States. but Mr.. Bland OBJ
jected even to having read. saying that
such d proposition was not free coinage
at ALL
