| the bill Of 81. The special order to bring
| the tin 10 a vote was adopted by a bare
Quorum Immediately after the house con-
vencd. This broke the opposition OF the
| flibusterers and they were poweriess 10
do anything further u place an obstacle
in the way sf the bin. All the amend

Dol ents were defeated, tie one when

silver seigniorage in the treasury. the Is
sue OF silver certificates thereon, II need
be, in the discretion OF the secretary OF
| the treasury in advance Of the coinage
and thereafter the coinage OF the re-
| u1ainder OF the bulliCn as fast as practi-
| cable and the issue OF silver certificates
| thereon TO take the place of the treasury
| Dotes issued under the Sherman act
| which are TO be retired and cancelled as
rapidly as the coinage takes place. The
| changes made in tie substitute simply
make specific the fact that the setgniDr-
age is 10 he coinel and that this bill
shall not affect the redemption Of the
treasury notes under existing law. An
