A minority report will be made by
those who voted against the bill. 1t

A provision against the redemption
OF tho national bank note, by the treas.
ury which Secretary Carlisle had re-
questod yesterday and which the sub
committee had recommended, WAS
passed. over by general consent. ami no
action taken upon it, as it was thought

too many propositions. 1t may 10 q

mittee.
Tho resolution prepared by Mr..
Wheeler declaring the enactias OF the

luton for the payment OF all govern.
ment Obligations in tho coin beet con.
venient wore voted down, rs was Mr..
Cockran's proposition for more COM
prehcnsive authority 10 the secretary,
but the votes were not recorded. There
was no formal debate.
Mr.. Cochran said that he would vote
to report the resolution, but would re.
serve the right to offer An amendment
in the house. Mr.. Reed said that the
plan was none Of his making or choos-
ing. but that under the circumstance,
he would vote for it a, q schelne which
might furnish some relief for the treas.

Whenever necessary 10 protect tho gold
reserve or maintain tho parity between
different kinds OF money. Thi. WAS do
fealed by the negative votes OF the Re-
publicans, aud Messrs. Wilson, Turner
and Stevens, Democrats. Although Mr..
Cochran reserved the right to offer it
in tho house. he saws he probably will
not do 40, as it would ieopardize the
success of the committee resolution.
In tho vote on tho Springer bill the
division among the Democrats stood 90
on one side and o. on the other. It is
expected that on this proposition rea.
tive division will occur-that 10, tina,
tho party will be divided as nearly
equally as possible. This will make the
fate Of the measure depend upon solid
Republican vote. There is little pros.
pect OF its receiving more than half tho
Republican votes, if tina. many. While
Mr.. Reed him,elt will vote for the meas
ure, he will do 10 reluctantly and will
not exercise any influence over his
party friends to induce them to follow
his lead in this. In tho game
