SATISFIED WITH THE SENATE.
Mr.. EII<ins for Free Silver, but Not q
White House Seeker.


White House Seeker.
Being Senator is good enough for me-"
said Senator S. B. Elkins, when asked at
Los Angeles yesterday If there was any
foundation for the statement recently sent
out from Cincinnati that the West Virginia
Senator would be in the race for the presi-
dency at the next republican convention.
The dispatch based the Senator's chances
upon his extensive business connections in
the East which would make him strong III
that section, and his silver ideas would at
tract the west.
As to the latter Mr.. Elkins said: 1T am
unqualifiedly in favor of free silver, and
shall work with the west in an endeavor to
give 1t its proper place. AS to how the
question can be best handled. I can say
nothing now. Put me down as a solid sill
yer man, though.
You can authoritatively say, however,
that I am not a candidate for the presi-
dency, for, as said, am perfectly salts
fed with representing West Virginia in the
Senate"
Senator Elkins left for San Francisco In
the afternoon.

WAsmiy0ros. D. c.. Fob. Tho last
hope OF financial legislation for the re-.
lief Of tho treasury at tho present sos.
sion Of Congress went by tho boards
when tho house this afternoon by vote
Of l3i to l6l rejected tho administration
bill to authorize mn is4ue OF $500, 100000
gold bonds. The bill was beaten before
1t reached its last parliamentary stage.
This result was reached after three davs
ol spirited and II. times heated debate
and at tho ond OF seven-hour session.
From II until $3.50 o'clock TO day.
when the bill with tho pending substi-
tutes was reported TO the house
from the committee OF the whole.
amendments were offered in rapid sue.
cession, most OF which were voted down
as fast as they were offered. Many oil
them were designed to load down the
bill. and tho votes thereon were in no
sense test votes. Tho Bell amendment,
for instance, to make the bonds payable
In gold and silver. was defeated BY the
decisive vote Of 76-l06. while the bill
was defeated by l34-l6l. Both the
Reed and Cox substitutes with the
amendment, thereto were rejected after
the bill was reported TO the house.
The Reed substitute authorizing the
issue OF coin bonds for the repenish-
ment OF the gold reserve and certificates
OF Indebtedness to defray and deticien-
cies in the revenue, was lost, 100 to lS7.
1t WAS party vote. save for the fact that
seven Democrats and, Cannon, OF Cali
fornia, voted for 1t.
When the question came up on the
third reading, aud engrossinent OF the
bill, the whole opposition concentrated.
While the vote WAS bsing taken, which
resulted In the refusal Of the house to
order the third reading. the interest
ceutercd in the vote OF Mr.. Reed. lie
sat quietly in his seat during the frs,
call; he voted tor the bill. As soon "a
the result was announced. Mr.. Reed At.
tempted to make an explanation OF the
attitude Of himself and thosa OF his col.
leagues who had voted for the bill, bu;
objection was made. He afterwards eS.
planned. however. that he had submit.
ted n proposition. This own substitu.e),
which he considered would meet the
situation. The Democrats had rejected
this and then ho. aud many OF his col.
leagues. although opposed to feature,
Of the original bill, had voted for it in
the hope that it would pass and be
amended in the senate. Mr.. Springer
then moved to reconsider the vote by
which tho third reading was refused,
but this motion was laid on tho ,uble.
l35-l23 and the bill was killed, parlin.
mentary speaking. An analysis OF The
vote shows that "a Republicans and 90
Democrats "o,cd for the bill and 50 Re.
publicans, 9S Democrats and I Populis,s
vored against it.
