BLAND'S BILL PASSED
FiaE LONG STRUGGLE IN THE HoUs<,
- AT LAST ENDED.
The Bin for the Coinage Of the Sill
yer Seigaiorage and the silver
Bullion IA the Treasury IL Passed
By Vote Of 165 to l3O.

Washington, March 2.-The long strng-
gle In the house over the Bland bill for
tho c0inage of the silver seiyniOrnge and
'he silver bullion In the treasury has
ended by the passage Of the bill by q
vote of 167 to 13O, majority in favor of
the bill of 81. The special order to bring
the I'LL to a vote was adopted by bare
quorum Immediately after the house con-
vencd. This broke the opposition of the
flibusterers and they were powerless 10
do anything further to place an obstacle
In the way Of the bill. All the amend
lnents offered to the measure by its Op-
pol ents were defeated, the one which
polled tue most votes being Mr.. Outh-
waite's amendment to strike out the sec-
ond section. The bill rs passed was in
the nature of 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 tho
silver seigniorage In the treasury, the is-
sue OF silver certificates thereon, If need
he, in the discretion of the secretary of
the treasury in advance of the coinage
and thereafter the coinage of the re-
lnainder 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 scigi,inr-
age is to he coined and that this bill
shall not affect the redemption of the
treasury notes under existing law. An
analysis of the vote by which the bill
passed shows that 141 democrats. ID
