The BLAND SILVER BILL.-The
deadlock in the House of Representa-
tivcs over the Bland bill to coin the
silver seigniorage in the Treasury was
broken yesterday and consideration Of
the measure begun. After spending
nearly four hours in fruitless endeavor,
a quorum was secured at 3:45, with the
Speakers vote, and the House went
into committee Of the whole to consid-
er the seigniorage bill. Republicans as
we'll as democrats voted to make the
quorum which allowed consideration Of
the bill. Mr.. Bland addressed the COM
mittee for less than an hour, and the
committee arose on his own motion
Members of the House who are op-
posed to the bill claim that its passage
will have the effect of causing all the
national banks in the country to pre-
sent for redemption treasury notes sg-
gregating $l50,000,000 which they now
hold as reserve funds, thereby depriv-
ing the government Of all the gold
which it will be able to obtain by
bond issue and practically placing the
country on a silver basis. Opponents
of the bill think that majority of the
members of the House now favor that
measure.

FRIDAY EVENING. FEB. 9, 1894.

ITDoES seem right hard that AleXan-
dria, which imposed upon herself a
large debt, to pay the interest on which
her people are yet being heavily taxed,
should be cut oil, by railroads, from all
the trade that once came to her. They
have made her but way station, aud
now propose to pass entirely around
her. leaving her out completely outin the
cold. The B. & o. R. R. has Topped Oft
all her tradewest ofStrasburg, and the r.
4 D.. by lis Washington junction, with
nearly all that once came here by
the old Loudoun and Hampshire line :;
charters have been given to the \. X
W. and B. x O., the former TO tap the
Manassas branch this side of Strasburg
and the Round Hill branch this side Of
Leesburg. and the latter to tap the K. X
u. at Fairfax station: and now it is pro-
posed that tn city's litle southern
trade shall be DESTROYED by new road
from Washington 10 Richmond, via
Manassas. And all this by the legisia-
ture. in which Alexandria has two rep
resentatives. Ii is TO be hoped that
the gentlemen now representing the
city in that body, may strive TO the ut
most extent of their power to prevent
the success of the new scheme referred
to-and. they doubtless will.

FIFTY THIRD CONGRESS-.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE.

HOUSE.
After the reading of yesterdays
journal, what threatened to be knot
ty question was uncovered by the state
ment of Mr.. Babcock that he was re-
corded as voting on the last roll-call by
which the House decided to 90 into
committee of the whole to consider the
Bland seigniorage bill, while he was
really absent. As this would destroy
the quorum and thus nullHy the action
of the committee, it promised to cause
some trouble.
Owing to the confusion in the House
at the time, it was almost impossible to
avoid error and, in addition, the regular
tally-clerk was not on duty at the time
the vote was taken.
When this error was discovered, Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Tracey showed symptoms
of an intention to take advantage OF
this mistake and to ilibuster. On the
other hand, however, it was found that
Messrs. McCleary Marshall German
and Shell were present and voted
aye" but were not recorded, so that
thew more than counterbalanced the
loss, and the presence of quorum was
manifested.
Mr.. Bartlett, from the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, re-
ported favorably to the House with
some amendments the Campbell bill,
amending the act of March 3, 1855, au-
thorizing a bridge from New York to
Long Island, so as to reduce the mini
mum height from 80 feet to l35 feet.
1t was placed on the calendar.
After the call of committees for re-
ports had been concluded, Mr.. Bland
moved to take up the consideration of
his seignorage bill in committee of the
whole and the motion was agreed to
without serious objection.
