BLAND WINS.
He Finally Secures a Quorum on
His Measure.
The Silver Sefgniorage Bill, After Rocky
Road, Finally Passes the House by
Good Majority-The Vote
in Detail.
seigntorage Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The long
struggle in the house over the Bland
bill for the coinage of the seigniorage
and the silver bullion in the treasury
was ended yesterday by the passage of
the bill by vote of 167 to 100, ma
jority in favor of the bill of 81. The
special order to bring the bill to a vote
was adopted by a bare quorum imme-
diately after the house convened.
This broke the opposition of the fill
busterers, and they were powerless to
do anything further to place an OBJ
stacle in the way of the bill. All the
amendments offered to the measure by
its opponents were defeated, the one
which polled the most votes being Mr..
Outhwaite's amendment to strike out
the second section.
Mr.. Bland was recognized and offered
substitute for the original bill The
first section of the substitute is ident-
ical with the first section of the orig
inal bill, except that the coinage is to
proceed as fast as possible" instead
of ''practica BILE"
Mr.. Bland took the floor in support
of his substitute. He explained the
second section of the substitute. 1t
made the coinage of the remainder of
the bullion in the treasury begin after
the coinage of the seigniorage, and
specific proviso was added to the effect
that nothing in the act shall be deemed
to change or alter existing law as to
the legal character or mode of redemp-
ton of the treasury notes This would
set at rest all alarm on the point.
All amendments offered to the bill
were voted down, the last one being
Mr. Outhwaites to strike out the sec.
ond section.
The vote was then taken on the
Bland substitute. No attempt to break
quorum was made on this vote, and
then the Bland substitute was adopted
III to &C. Before the vote could be
taken Mr. Tracey, of New York, moved
to recommit the bill, without instruc.
tions, to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. The motion
was defeated-132 to 161. The vote was
then taken on the final passing of the
bill 1t was passed-167 to 100. Loud
cheers and hand-clapping greeted the
final announcement of the victory won
by the advocates of the measure.
