a resolution less sweeping in it's scope.
TO apply only to the contemplated
issue which was the subject of the
message, and to empower the secre-
tary of the treasury to make them
payable in gold coin.
The Republican members quickly
announced their opposition to both
plans. MI. Reed said: 81 do not be-
lleve in borrowing gold by bonds pay
able after thirty years, when. accord
ing to the secretary of the treasury,
we are to have a surplus in the treas

able to identify him as the payee SO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 0. - Chairman
Springer, of the banking and cur

say whether any further action would
be taken or what would now be done.
He was very much disappointed at
the result and blamed the Republi-
cans, saying that if they had stood by
the bill it would have been passed.
If any thing was to be done a new bill
would have to be brought in, as the
bill voted upon is beyond recall. All
other Democrats who were for the
bill, said this was the end of anything
in the way of financial legislation.
There was some talk of a Democratic
caucus, but that did not seem proba-
BILE. The impression prevailed there
would now be another bond issue

bandit. Hearing them approach he
looked out of the window and re-
ceived a load of buckshot in the face
almost tearing his head off.
