| WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-The long
struggle in the House over the Bland bill
! for the coinage of the silver seigniorage
and the silver bullion in the treasury
was ended to-day by the passage of the
in favor of the bill of 81. The
special order to bring the bill to a vote
was adopted by bare quorum Immediately
after the House met This broke the oppo
sition of the tilibusterers and they were
powerless to do anything further to place
an obstacle in the way Of the bill. All the
amendments offered to the measure by its
opponents were defeated. The bill as passed
was in the nature of a substitute for the
original measure. The changes do not at
feet the material features Of the bill, which
provides for the coinage of the silver
}rao No Of Gil
yer certificates thereon, if need be- in the
discretion of the secretary OF the treasury IN
advance of the coinage, and thereafter the
coinage Of the remainder of the bullion as
fast as practical and the issue Of silver Ger
titicates thereon to take the place of the
treasury notes issued under the Sher-
man act which are to be retired
and cancelled as rapidly as the
coinage takes place. The changes
made in the substitute simply make specific
the fact that the seigniorage is to be coined
and that this bill shall not affect the re-
ing law. An analysis of the vote by which
the bill passed shows that 141 Democrats,
10 Republicans and Populists (total 167)
voted for it, and 70 Republicans and 50
Democrats total 129) voted against it. The
bill for the rescue Of the armament of the
wrecked Kearsarge passed just before ad-
iournment.

sor, rushed over to the place where Mr..
Funk was standing and shook his fist in the
latters face Hot words were spoken, but
friends interfered and the Speaker restored
