The House Refuses 10 Fix a Time for
Voting on II.

The Committee on Rules Had Reported
a Resolution Fixing Saturday as the
Date for Taking the Vote-The House
Refuses TO Adopt the Committee's
Recommendations Result OF the
Vote Received in Silence by the
House.
Washington. Jan. O. Mr. Cultivate re-
ported 10 the House to-day the result of
the conference upon the military academy
appropriation bill and it was agreed 70.
The changes agreed upon prohibit any in
crease OF the army under the provisions
Of the bin and increase the total amount
carried by the bill, 10y 81 .533.
Mr.. Cultivate also reported resolu-
tion from the committee on rules TO govern
the further consideration OF the currency
bill Il provided for the substitution Of
the amended bill proposed by Mr.. Springer
on Dec. 0.last for the pending bill; that
it be considered under the five minute
rule, unless disposed Of. untIl 4.So o'clock
Friday and Immediately after the cxpira-
tion Of the morning hour on Saturday
the vote on the pending amendments and
the passage of the bin shall be taken.
Mr.. Dingley rep. of Maine suggested to
Mr. Cultivate that modification be
made in the rule so as to permit the
House, first TO consider sections . and 10
of the bill. relating TO state banks for n
they We're not to be rehablitated the
House might change the details contain
ed In the earlier sections
This suggestions was reinforced by Mr.
Walker, rep. OF Massachusetts. who said
IL was made in the interest of eXpedit-
ing business.
Mr. Cultivate said the gentleman as
sumed that the time was to be wastedf
if il was not wasted the sections named
would be reached before the order ex-
pired.
Inquiries were made by AIessrs. Beltz-
hoover dem, OF Pennsylvania, and Mr.
Bland, dem, OF Missouri, as TO the status
OF the amendment the former proposes
to offer. authorizing the sale of $500 900 900
Of bonds. and the substitute OF which the
latter had given notice, providing for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio Of l6
to !.
They were informed by Mr.. Outhwalte
that the resolution did not favor nor dis
criminate against any amendment or sub
stitute; they would all stand on their
merits and be subject to the rules Of the
House.
Mr.. Bland wanted Mr.. Cultivate to
agree, before he would vote for the rule,
that he (Bland) should have an oppor-
tunity to offer his free coinage amend
ment and have It voted upon. II that
were done he should have no objection
to the adoption Of the resolution, other
wise the probabilities were that he would
never have an opportunity to present his
proposition.
Mr.. Cultivate declined to enter into any
arrangement respecting the Bland sub
stltute or any other amendment.
In response TO "a question by Mr. Reed,
Mr.. Cultivate said the object Of the res
olution was to bring TO a conclusion with
I'm a reasonable time, the consideration
Of the currency bill. which had been be-
fore the House now for nearly two weeks,
already a sufficient period of time con-
sidering that congress was now in the
short session. The great Appropriation
| bills remain to be acted upon-only one,
and that the smallest, having yet passed
the Senate: and the committee on rules
| is being daily beseiged by the friends OF
| the Nicaragua canal bill, the Pacific
| railroad refunding bill and other vastly
| important measures, for time for their
consideration. The rule grants ample
| time for the consideration Of the bill un-
| der the fye-mnute rule.
Mr. Reed said the situation seemed TO
! him to be an unfortunate one, in that
| probably nothing would save the bill.
| and the House was discussing the best
method of getting rid Of It.
Mr. Reed suggested to Mr.. Outhwaite
| that before bringing the resolution to "A
| vote he consent to a modification Of its
| terms so as to permit a discussion first
| upon the most important part Of the bill.
| After further brief remarks by Messrs.
| Cultivate, Bland and Beltzhoover the
! former demanded the previous question
! on the passage Of the resolution.
Mr. Bland-If the demand for the pre-
vious question is voted down, the resolu-
tion will be open to amendment?
Speaker Crisp-If the previous question
! is refused
The vote upon Mr. Outhwaites demand
was: Ayes, 30; nays, 101
A vote by yeas and nays was demanded
| by Mr.. Cultivate and taken. II resulted
! Yeas, 124; nays, 130.
The yea vote was cast by i23 democrats
and one republican, NJ. c. Henry. The
| nay vote was made up Of Al democrats,
! s. republicans and seven populists.
The result Of the vote, which was re-
! ceived as being the practical defeat Of the
| bill, was received in silence
Immediately after the announcement OF
| the vote Mr.. Outhwaite said: Mr..
| Speaker-I withdraw the resolution"
! The House then turned its attention 10
! the consideration Of the appropriation
! bills, and before the adjournment at 4A5
! o'clock, had disposed Of two--the diplo-
matte and consular and postoffice. The
| former carries a total Of 81 ,565,118 and the
! latter $50 1852
The chief incident Of the afternoon was
! the ringing speech Of Mr.. Hit. rep, Of
| Illinois, upon the necessity Of locating
United States consuls at Erzeroum and
| Harpoot, Armenia. They are expected
/ to be established without a dissenting vote.
CRISP SURPRISED.
