WASHINGTON, d. c., February -
The last hope OF financial legislation
for the relief OF the treasury at lhs
present session OF Congress went by the
boards when the House tais afternoon
by vote OF 1874 to 1914 rejected the
administration bill 10 authorize al issue
of $500, coo coo gold bonds The bill
was beaten before it reached
lts last parliamentary stage.
This result was reached after
three days OF spirited, aud az times
heated debate, and At The end Of 4 seven
hour session. From eleven until 1880
o'clock to-day, when the bill with the
pending substitutes was reported TO the
House from the committee Of tho
wnoie, amend meutS were offered In
rapid succession, most Of which were
voted down as fast as they were offered.
Both the Reed and Cox substitutes
were rejected. The Reed substitute,
authorizing the issue OF coin bonds for
the reulenlshment OF the gold reserve
and certificates OF indebtedness 10 de-
fray any deficiencies In tho revenues,
was lost. lO9-ls7. IL was party vote.
save for the fact that seven Democrats
aud Cannon, Of California, voted for IL.

third reading and engr0ssmeut Of the

taken. which resulted 10 the refusal OF
the House 10 order the third reading,
the interest centered IA the vote OF MIR.

the first call. lie voted for the bill. AS
soon as the result was announced, Mr..
Reed attempted TO make an explanation

of his colleagues who bad voted for the

meet the situation. The Democrats
had rejected TINS and then be and many
OF his colleagues, although opposed TO
features of the original biz, had voted
for IL in the hope that IL would pass
and be amended In the Senate. Mr..
Springer then moved TO reconsider the
vote by which the third reading was re-
fused, but this motion was laid on tho
liable. l35-I23, and the oil was killed,
fundamentally speaking. An analysis
of the vote shows that "a Republicans
and 90 Democrats voted for lhe oil and

Populsts voted against u.
Chairman Springer would not say to-
night whether any further action would
be taken or what would now be done.
He was very much disaDpolDted, aud
blamed the Republicans. The general
impression is that there will be another
bond issue.
