 l WASHINGTON, March 2.-The long struggle in the house over the Bland
 bill for the coinage of the seigniorage and the silver bullion in the treasury was ended yesterday by the passage of the bill by vote of 167 to 1S0, ma jority in favor of the bill of ST.. The special order to bring the bill to vote was adopted by a bare quorum imme- diately after the house convened. This broke the opposition of the fli- busterers, and they were powerless to do anything further to place an ob. stacle in the way of the bill. All the amendments offered to the measure by it's opponents were defeated, the one which boiled the most votes being Mir. 0uthwaite's amendment to strike out the second section.
 MT. Bland was recognized and offered a substitute for the original bill The first section of the substitute is ident- | ical with the first section of the orig inal bill, except that the coinage is to proceed as fast, as possible" instead of practicable.
 Mir. Bland took the floor in support of his substitute. He explained the | second section of the substitute. It made the coinage of the remainder of ] the bullion in the treasury begin after the coinage of the seigniorage, and a specific proviso was added to the effect that nothing in the act shall be deemed to change or alter existing law as to the legal character or mode of redemp- tion of the treasury notes This would set at rest all alarm on the point All amendments offered to the bill were voted down, the last one being Mir. Outhwaite's to strike out the sec- ond section.
 l The vote was then taken on the Bland substitute. No attempt to break a quorum was made on this vote, and then the Bland substitute was adopted -171 to 96. Before the vote could be taken Mr. Tracey, of New York, moved to recommit the bill, without instruc- | tions, to the committee on coinage, weights and measures The motion was defeated-132 to l6T. The vote was then taken on the final passing of the bill It was passed-167 to 130 Loud cheers and hand-clapping greeted the final announcement of the victory won | by the advocates of the measure.
