It Was Practically Defeated in the
House Today.
IT'S SUPPORTERS PANIC STRICKEN
1t Was Withdrawn and the Di plo-
matte Bill Substituted.
IN THE SEN AT

There was 4 good attendance on the floor
of the House when Speaker Crisp dropped
the gavel today, as notice had been given
that a special order to terminate general
debate on the currency bill would be re-
ported from the committee on rules, ana
the prevailing belief was that the fate Of
the bill would be determined today. The
conference report on the Military Academy
appropriation bill was adopted on motion
Of Mr.. Cultivate (Ohio).
Currency BILL Special Order.
AS soon as the committees had been
called for reports Mr.. Cultivate presented
the special order from the committee or
rules. The order provided for the closing
Of general debate in the Consideration
of the Springer substitute as an original
bill under the five-minute rule today. to-
morrow and Friday until 4:dO pm. when
it provided for the report of the bill and
pending amendments to the House, 1or
ordering the previous question and for
final vote on Saturday Immediately after
the morning hour.
Mr.. Cultivate (Ohio) demanded the
previous question when the reading OF the
rule had been completed. Some confusion
was caused by the volley of questions
from members which followed Mr.. Outh-
waite's demand. members being anxious to
ascertain the status of amendments after
the adoption of the order.
Mr.. Reed ON the Situation.
Mr.. Reed in some caustic remarks said
he thought the situation very unfortu-
nate one. 1--WE seem to be celebrating
here" said he. "as to the proper method
of getting rid of this bill. 1t Is unfortu-
nate If we are to hope for remedial legis-
lation." He agreed with his colleague Mr..
Dingley. that sections . and 10, relating to
state banks, which were vital, should be
first considered. However, he said, the re-
publicans washed their hands of respon-
sibility and he did not know whether they
ought to interfere or not.
After some further wrangling. during
which Mr.. Bland and others loudly pro-
tested that the adoption of the rule would
cut them off, Mr.. Cultivate rejected all
suggestions for amending the rule and de-
manded the previous question.
Order Defeated.
The republicans voted solidly with the
democratic opponents of the measure
against ordering the previous question. and
1T was defeated on rising vote, o2-lO1.
Among the democrats who voted against
ordering the previous question were Cock
rell CTexas), McGann Qllinois), Hooker
(NIiss.). Ellis QkyD. Money (Miss.), Bailey
(Texas). Bland (Mo), Hall lMo), Holman
Qnd), and Conn QndD. MIR. Outhwaite
hurriedly demanded the yeas and nays
and the roll was called.
The roll call was watched with intense
interest, but the announcement of the re-
suit of the vote only confirmed the defeat
Of the advocates of the measure. The sup
porters of the bill made a desperate effort
to secure a majority of the votes. but the
previous question was again rejected, III

Advocates of the Bill Panic Stricken.
The advocates of the bill had suffered
| their first parliamentary reverse. The fall
| ure to order the previous question threw
the special order open to amendment
Although there was no demonstration
from the opponents of the bill, its advo-
Gates were panic stricken, realizing, as they
did, that the vote given sealed the doom of
| the currency bill. Mr.. Cultivate immedi-
ately arose and withdrew the special order.
Diplomatic Dill Taken Up.
Mr.. McCreary, chairman Of the commit
| tee on foreign affairs. then moved to go
| into committee of the whole to consider the
diplomatic appropriation BILL and it was
carried without division. The currency
| bill had been abandoned-at least temporar-
! iIy-to give the supporters of the bill an OPP
portunity to reform their lines. 1t had all
happened so quickly that 1t was some time
before members were able to realize that
| the struggle was over.
