WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-IG!c House
has discussed plai;s for financial relief
; three d"vs. aud refused by decisive
votes to pass any one OF them. When
the committee OF the whole ;t $50
clock Yesterday afternoon concluded
lis sessions. three propositions were re
ported to the House for It's action: the
original Springer bill ;known as the
; administration bilD proposing the is
size Of $500. 900, 900 three per cent. ff-
ty-year gold bonds. as amended by the
committee of the whole. the substitute
proposed by Reed. authorizing the is
sue Of two-years three per cent. certif-
icates Of Indebtedness to meet deficien-
cies in the revenues and bonds to cover
the deficiency in the gold reserve. with
al amendment proposed by Mr. Bryan.
Democrat. OF Nebraska. reaffirming the
declaration of the Matthews resolution
OF 1878. to the effect that coin obliga-
tions of the government are payable
in standard silver dollars at its option
aud the substitute of lIr. Cox. Demo-
crat. of Tennessee. containing reha-
bilitation of State banks, with an
amendment proposed by Mr.. Cobb,
Democrat, of Alabama, expressly de-
clining to confer the right to issue
bonds upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Mr.. Bryan's amendment was reject
ed-yeas 127; nays 169-and then Mr..
Reed substitute went the same way
by vote Of 100 TO 1S77 This was near
ly party vote, the Populists and De-
mocrats in opposition and the Repub-
licans in favor of the substitute.
The amendment proposed by Mr..
Cobb to CoX's substitute was voted
down viva voce and the substitute it
self received but So votes in the affirm
ative to 1Si in the negative.
Mr.. CoX's request for a yea and nay
vote was not supported by sufficient
number to secure it.
By the unexpectedly large vote Of
159 noes and 81 ayes, the House, on a
division, refused to order the engross-
ment and third reading Of the amend
ed Springer bill, which announcement
was received with applause. A vote
by ayes and nays somewhat reduced
the majority Of the vote, it resulting
yeas 135, nays 162, present and not
voting4.
Just before the vote was announced
Mr.. Reed endeavored to make an eX-
plan..tion of the attitude of himself to
his associates on the Republican side,
but was cut Off by cries Of Regular
order" He was going to say: - had,
/ with the support o. all the Republi-
cans, presented a proposition which
the ruling powers saw fit to refuse.
Nevertheless I had gone farther and
voted for bill which contains things
l DO not approve of, simply to enable
the matter to go to the Senate in
hopes that something might be done.
The bill has failed. | now desire to
| suggest that l have no doubt this side
| of the House would vote for the sec
| ond section of my substitute or any
other proposition which had any prac-
teal chance of passing.
Mr.. Springer having changed his
vote for that purpose, moved torecor-
| slider the vote, and that motion on
motion of Mr.. Hatch DoSl.) of Mis-
souri, was laid On the table, yeas 1855,
nays 1913, which finally disposed of tie
matter. The question pending when
| the committee of the whole refused
consideration Of the bill was as 70
whether or not the decision of the
chairman, ruling out Mr. Bland's sub
! stitute on point of order. should be
; sustained. 1t was decided in the af-
firmative--130 to 50. In the course of
consideration of the bill, Mr. Wheel
| er Dem. of AlGhama moved to re-
peal the tax of ten per cent. on State
banks circulation and it was lost by a
vote Of 96 to 81.
An amendment proposed by Mr. Bell
Pop or Colorado, providing for the
payment of the bonds in gold or sill
yer. without discrimination against
either, was lost-10G to -.
Mr.. Bland got vote on an amend
ment requiring the Treasury notes Is
sued under the Sherman Act of 1890
to be redeemed in accordance with
section ; of that law, and directing the
coinage of the Seignorage of the silver
| bullion in the Treasury. and IL came
within five votes of being adopted
1Ga to 104.
Before the bill was taken up bills
We're passed authorizing the reopening
OF the abandoned military reservation
at Fort Jupiter, Fla, and granting a
| pension OF $50 month to the widow
of the late Gen. John c. kelton. ad-
jutant general OF the army.

| asked immediate consideration, direct
ing the appointment OF committee
