STILL ANOTHER D1TIlG
Administration Again Fails to G8-
cure Financial Legislation.
THE VOTE A VERY DECISIVE ONE


Reading by Vote of 100 to 167 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, O00,O of gold
| bonds and the retirement of the legal ten
ders, recommended in the presidents spec
ial message, was defeated last Thursday
| by majority of twenty-seven, and yester-
day the house, by majority even larger
| Qorty-seven), refused to order to a third
reading the resolution by which it was
proposed to authorize the issue of 500, ,OOO,-
900 of 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 the
issue of the gold bonds. A special order
was brought in as soon as the house met
yesterday morning to bring the resolution
TO a vote at o'clock p. m. The debate
upon the resolution, which lasted over five
| hours, was of an interesting and at times
infammable character.
The galleries were packed, aud there was
much excitement and confusion on the
| floor but the interest centered in the
course which the Republicans would pur-
sue, it 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 a 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 a third reading and then
move to recommit it, with instructions to
report back a bill similar to that which he
offered as a substitute for the gold bill last
week, providing for 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 if it passed this par
liamentary stage. The eastern Republi-
cans then decided to support it. The
speeches of Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Reed. Mr.
Hopkins and Mr.. Bryan were the features
of the debate.
