anybody had an opportunity to under
stand what the situation was, the first
name was called"
1.-The House understood the circum-
stances" continued the Speaker. "The
gentleman from Missouri (Bland) was
recognized, whereupon some sugges-
ton was made as to an agreement be-
tween that gentleman and the gentleman
from New York Tracey, who called upon
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Stonel.
There was a general call throughout the
House OF Vote; VOTE whereupon the
agreement failing, the gentleman from
Missouri (Bland) stated he was willing to
have the vote taken now, and no gentle
man arose to address the Chair"
A dozen Repu blicans protested, but the
Speaker disregarded them, and con-
tinued:
''The Chair stated the question, and
stated that under the Constitution the yeas
and nays must be entered upon the jour
nal. Still no gentleman arose TO address
the Chair. The Chair then directed the
Clerk to call the roll, and the first name
was called, and then, for the first time,
the Chair had an intimation that the gen
tleman from Maine (Dingley) desired to
address the House."
The explanation of the Speaker was not
satisfactory. The Republican,, led by
Reed, were appealing for recognition
amid shouts of regular order from the
Democratic side. The excitement was in
tense.
Il want the Speaker to understand this
matter" said Reed, finally.
The Speaker does understand" re-
torted the Speaker sharply, cutting off
Reed, "and the Speaker directs the Clerk
TO resume the roll-call.'
A burst OF Democratic applause greeted
him.
But" protested Reed.
The Chair will not allow the roll-call
to be interrupted"
think the Speaker has not heard my
colleague's statement" persisted Reed.
1he gentleman will take his seat" re-
turned the Speaker finally.
Certainly l will" replied Reed, but
he still renamed standing.
Ihe gentleman will take his seat"
continued the Speaker. ''The gentleman
VIII be seated. Nothing will be accom-
pllshed by this persistence"
There is no resistance, Mr.. Speaker,
but"
=, The gentleman will take his seat and
the Clerk will call the roll"
Reed sat down, but immediately
Jumped to his feet again. He would not
surrender without protest.
Mr.. ; speaker" he said defiantly, 81
ask to be heard"
The Chair declines to hear the gentle
man. The Clerk will call the roll"
will the Speaker hear word?p
The Chair will not"
My colleague states-'
1he Chair will not hear the gentle
man. The Clerk will call the roH.''
Inc uproar was terrific at this point
ana ABOVE the din Boutelle shouted: 81
snail decline TO cast my vote in such a
condition OF confusion as this"
Burrows attempted to address the
Chair, while Wilson of Washington
cried: Tyranny, tyranny" but the
speaker would not listen, and ordered
the Clerk to proceed with the roll-calI.
once or twice afterward Burrows and
Reed attempted to break in, but the
Speaker declared emphatically he would
not hear them; that the roll-calI could
not be interrupted.
The Republicans were beside them
selves with anger. They refused to vote
on the first roll-call. The anti-silyer
Democrats were in despair, as the first
roIl-cau gave the silver men the neces-
sary two-thirds. Finally, after a con-
sultatlon, they agreed TO vote, and did
vote on the second roll-call. This turned
the tide, and upon the announcement of
the vote 1t was found the motion TO pass
the bill over the veto had been defeated,
the silver men lacking seventy four of
the necessary two-thirds.
Inc House then at 5 o'clock adjourned.
Following is the vote by which the
House refused to pass the Bland bill of
the Presidents veto:
