BLAND'S BILL PASSED

DuAND DILL IAOOED
THE LONG STRUGGLE IN THE HOUSE
IS AT LAST ENDED.
The Bill for the Coinage Of the Sill
yer ~SefgniOrage and the Silver
Bullion in the Treasury Is Passed
by a Vote of 1G7 to 100.
Washington, March 2.-The long strng-
gle in the house over the Bland bill for
the coinage of the silver seiguiorage and
The silver bullion in the treasury has
ended by the passage of the bill by a
vote of 1877 to 100, a majority in favor of
the bill of 81. The special order to bring
the bill to a vote was adopted by a bare
quorum Immediately after the house con-
vened. This broke the opposition Of the
flibusterers and they were powerless to
do anything further to place an obstacle
in the way Of the bill. All the amend
ments offered to the measure by its op-
Dol ents were defeated, the one which
polled the most votes being Mr.. Outh-
waite's amendment to strike out the sec
ond section. The bill as passed was in
the nature of a substitute for the original
text of the measure. The changes do
not affect the material features of the
bill, which provides for the coinage of the
silver seigniorage in the treasury, the is"
sue of silver 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 re-
mainder of the bullion as fast as practi-
cable and the issue of silver certificates
thereon to take the place of the treasury
notes issued under the Sherman act
which are to be retired and cancelled us
rapidly as the coinage takes place. The
changes made in the substitute simply
make specific the fact that the seignior-
age is to be coined and that this bill
shall not affect the redemption of the
treasury notes under existing aw. An
analysis of the vote by which the bill
passed shows that 141 democrats, 10
Republicans and 3 Poulists--16S-voted
for it and ~ Republicans and 50 Demo
crats-1&-voted against it. The bill for
the rescue of the armament of the
wrecked Kearsarge passed just before ad-
journment.
