Administration Again Fails to Sc
cure Financial Legislation.
THE VOTE A VERY DECISIVE ONE

The Wilson Resolution Defeated on Third
Reading by Vote of 12O to 1877, a
Majority of the Democrats Voting in
Opposition.
WASHINGTON Feb. 15.-The third at
tempt of the administration at this session
to secure legislation looking to the relief
of the treasury failed in the house yester.
day. First the Carlisle bill for the reform
of the currency system went down; next
the bill for the issue Of $500, 900 900 of gold
bonds and the retirement of the legal ten
aers, recommended in the presidents spec
ial message was defeated last Thursday
by majority of twenty-sevcn, and yester-
day tho house, by majority even larger
Qorty severn, refused to order to third
reading the resolution by which 1t was
proposed to authorize the issue of 65O00,-
900 of 8 per cent. gold bonds to substitute
for the per cent. thirty year coin bonds
sold by Secretary Carlisle under the con-
tract with the Rothschild- Morgan syndi-
cate.
The action of the house was the culmi-
nation of the exciting events which have
occurred since the president sent his spec
ial message to congress which resulted in
the report from the ways and means COM
mittee of the resolution to authorize, tho
was brought in as soon ms the house met
yesterday morning to bring the resolution
to vote at 6 o'clock p M. The debate
upon the resolution, which lasted over five
hours, was of an interesting and at times
infiammable character.
The galleries were packed, and there was
much excitement and confusion on the
floor, but the interest conferred in tho
course which the Republicans would pur-
sne 1t being conceded that the fate of tho
resolution rested with them There was
much maneuvering among their leaders.
The Republicans west of the Alleghanies,
led by Messrs. Hopkins and Cannon, of Il
linois, started off with impetuous speeches
against gold bond that would discrim-
mate against the bonds already issued
Mr.. Reed and his eastern friends sought
In private conference to rally all to united
action. His plan was to allow the resolu-
tion to go to third reading and then
move to recommit it, with instructions to
report back bill similar to that which he
offered rs a substitute for the gold bill last
week, providing for 8 per cent coin bonds.
For time it seemed possible that this
arrangement would be agreed to, but after
the stirring speech of Mr.. Hepburn, of
Iowa, the middle and western Republicans
broke away, determined to defeat the third
reading of the resolution, lest by some
chance it might carry II 1t passed this par
liamentary stage. The eastern Republi-
cans then decided to support it, Tho
speeches of Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Reed. Mr..
Hopkins and Mr. Bryan were the features
of the debate.
