not entitled 10 his seat. Adopted, l'o TO
II. The motion to seat English was
adopted, l65 TO l.. Upon the announce
mcnt there wns a burst of applause from
the democratic side, which was renewed
when English was escorted to the bar of
the house and sworn in.
Bland then called up tho seigniorage
bill returned by the president without mp
proval and moved that IL pass, the objec.
tions of the executive to the contrary noi-
wiihstanding. Tracey of New York raised
the question OF no consideration against
| il, and Bailey made the point that tho
constitution required consideration of n
bill returned with a veto and that the
question of consideration, therefore,
should not be raised against 1t. The
speaker sustained the point of order.
Bland stated that on Saturday at o'clock
he would demand the previous question.
From all quarters of the democratic side
there seemed TO be a general desire TO
avoid the conflict of opinion in the debate
and Hands suggestion of three days de-
hate was met with q chorus of cries OF
"yo,e, yote."
Then followed one OF the most remark
able scenes witnessed in tho house in
years. Tho republicans were euche, cd
out OF their chance of seeing tho dissen-
sions in the democratic ranks thoroughly
aired. Tracey, who was standing in tho
side aisle, said that rs far as the demo-
Gratis of the minority of the coinage com.
m.ttee were concerned, they were willing
| 10 take a vote Immediately. This state
| ment was received with shouts of approval
from the democratic side.
Tracey went on TO say. however. that he
had not conferred with the republicans of
the committee and suggested that he
\ would like 10 have the opinion of c. w.
| Stone of PENNSYLVANIA, who had made tho
minority report against the bill.
| Stone replied, after comforting a
| moment with those about him on the re-
| publican side, that the debate in the
house when the seicniorage bill was
| passed had been so limited that he was
unwilling TO enter into any agreement TO
close the debate at this time. When he
ceased speaking there was great confusion
| OH the floor. Members on both sides we're
comforting in groups. The speaker with
upllfted gayel surveyed tho house for a
| moment,
Bland expressed willingness to have
| the vote taken Immediately. Reed, Ding
ley, Burrows and Stone were in earnest
consultation TO the left of the speakers
rostrum. As it subsequently appeared,
/ they agreed that Dingley should m AXE the
openinp argument for his side.
In the meantime no one addressed the
chair and the speaker stated the ques-
| ton to be on a motion TO pass the bill, the
tbis,n said he. looking down upon the con.
fusion on the floor, "the constitution re-
olires that the vote shalt be taken BY the
i yeas and nays lie hcsitatcd. Still
every ono ON the floor was eugrossed with
| the prorrammc in the coming debate and
Needed him not.
.All those in favor will answer ayen he
continued. .Contrary no." Again he
naused. but no one addressing him he
added with n bang of the gaycl: "The
clerk will call the roll"
| "Nfr. Alien ~ began the clerk. There
v,s n p,sp of establishment on tho re-
nublican side as they awakened TO find
Tho roll call had begun. The demoerats.
who were anxious to see the debate sup.
nrossed. were oyerioyed. Amid great up-
r,,r n dozen republicans iumned 10 their
foot and cl,norcl for recognition. They
saw tho coveted opportuni,y SHINING from
| them. They fought hard. Tho confusion
was so creat the clerk got no farther than
| The firsi name.
| .Too late.- shouied tho democrats rs
| Reed tried TO make himself heard. At
last Inv hard poundinc a semblauee of
ouiet was restored,

leapne. Dtnrley, was ready TO address tho
