cal was completed, and this list was
lying on his desk when MIR. Pearson ar
rived with the bill.
Secretary Carlisle. Attorney General
Ofuey and Private Secretary Thurber
were present. After felicitating with
each other for few moments over the
victory that had been achieved the
President took up the enGroSSed copy
OF the oil and read il aloud. Then
picking up q quill pen he affixed his
autograph at 4:25.
Thus. SIS days, hours and 25 minutes
after the extraordinary session con-
vened, the remedy for the financial dis
tress which Mr.. Cleveland demanded In
his message was applied.
The analysis OF the vote shows that

Rev. K. p. Bagty, the new chaplain
chosen last night by the Democratic
caucus. a boyish looking young man OF
%. delivered the Invocation in the
House ira clear firm voice.
The Speaker lays before the House"
said Speaker Crisp, ''the bill No. l, with
Senate amendments"
II move that the house concur In the
Senate amendments, said Mr. Wilson,
rising 90 his feet, "and upon that mo-
ton l demand the previous question.
/ wish 20 say that 10 Is not my desire
10 press this bill for a
vote Immediately after the lapse Of the
half hour allowed FOR debate, but if my
motion is agreed TO l am willing to
grant reasonable time thereafter,
one or two hours, say until three
O'clock" he added, looking over
iu the direction OF Mr.. Bland,
the silver champion, who was recOg
nized as the leader of the minority.
But Mr.. Bland shook mis- head. As Mr.
Wilson still paused for reply Mr..
Bland, vino had been standing while
Mr.. Wilson was speaking, now moved
forward q few PAGES.
"I have no disposition 70 delay the
action OF the House" said Mr.. Bland.
''I had hoped that the friends Of this
measure would allow it to come up at
the regular time, in the regular
wav. I do not see the necessity
Tor demanding the previous ques-
tign. and au1 arrangement for
subsequent debate. l want the debate
20 10 on in the regular way so that the
bin will still be open for amendment.
The opponents Of the measure should
not be Stiued."
BY this time the area in front Of the
Speakers chair was crowded with nem-
bers aud the aisles were choked. Mr.
Alien. OF Mississippi, drawled out, "it's
only intended TO partially Stiae the
House"
Blurke Cochran could not hear the
remark Of the drOll member from Mis-
sisS,ppi, AID wanted him 10 repeat It so
that the House could be taken into his
confidence, out Mr. Allen declined and
Nr. Wilson proceeded 10 explain that
bis purpose In demanding the previous
question was not 20 cut of debate, but
10 avoid losing control Of the bill.
Mr.. Bryan asked Mr.. Wilson II his
purpose in demanding the previous
question was TO prevent the House from
voting on amendments.
Yes, sir, replied Mr.. Wilson.
81 want that fact TO 90 on record"
retorted M Bryan. Il want the coun-
try 20 know that you are unwilling that
this House shall vote on amendments"
eve have already voted on every
amepdment offered, " TetOrted Mr. Will
son. calmly. II would like to know"
he continued, turning toward Mr.. Bland
FOR the last time, "whether you are will
ing 70 adopt the proposition have
made?
81 will accept nothing" replied Mr.
Bland, snappiShly, that does not come
ia the regular way.
"Then l demand the previous Ques-
ton" said Mr.. Wilson, facing the
Speaker.
Mr.. Bryan moved that the House ad-
iouru. Fiu5uStering was TO be the last
resort of the extreme silver men. Thsy
we're determined 10 force tue commit
tee on rules 60 bring In cloture. But
it was q feeble effort.
Mr. Bryau's first motion only mus
tered % votes against $50.
Mr.. SnodgrasS, of Tennessee, who
ioired with him iu making the Hli6uster-
ing motions secured but 81 votes for his
motion for recess, They we're not
numerically strong enough To order the
ayes aud nays. Such tiiibuSter could
last but a short time.
A. l:I5 a iibuStering motion had
been lost and Mr.. Livingston was max
ing an appeal 10 his colleagues TO de-
sist. Both Mr.. Bryan and Mir. Snod-
grass were listening 70 the Georgian in
stead Of renewing their hioustering
motion.
This left the pending question the
motion to order the previous question.
The fiibusterS were thrown of their
guards. The speaker put the motion
and II was carried with roar OF assent.
The tiubusters called for division,
but they could not muster enough votes
20 call the ayes and nays.
After some little wrSugling it was ar
ranged that Mr.. Bland should control
the time for the opponents and Mr.. VIII
son for the supporters OF the measure.
Mr.. Bland said be wo Id have de-
