GOLD BONDS TURNED DOWN.
THE HOUSE REFLECTS THE SUCCESS
TION or THE COMMITTEE.


cuses the President of Dishonest
Motives in the New BOnd Issue.
MIR. Bryan willing TO Die in the
Interest of silver.
Washington, Feb. 14-Another days de-
bate in the House upon the financial
question has but served to emphasize the
fact that no legislation affecting the
financial situation is to be expected from
the Fifty-third congress. A week ago the
House refused, by a vote OF 162 to i95 to
adopt the last Springer banking and cur
rency bill, which contained a provision
authorizing the issue of long time low in
terest bonds. and to-day. by the sull
more decisive vote of 167 to 12O, it declined
to authorize the issue of s65. 100000 per
cent. gold bonds with which to replace the
52i per cent. bonds negotiated with the
Morgan-Beimont syndicate in payment for
the purchase of s,5oO00O ounces of gold
coin.
The consideration of the joint resolution
for this purpose reported yesterday from
the committee on ways and means by
Chairman Wilson occupied all of the ses-
sion of six and half hours and the dis
cussion attracted an attendance of spec
tators which overhowed the public gall
ieries and encroached upon that reserved
for the diplomatic crops and other distin-
guished visitors. The debate followed in
general way the lines or the debate on
the Springer bill last week, but the op-
position to-day was much more sggres-
sive than on that occasion.
Mr.. Wilson was aided In advocacy Of
the measure by Mr.. Reed rep. OF Maine.
Mr. Payne. rep, of New York, Mr.. Turner,
dem, of Georgia, and Mr. Bynum. dem,
Of Indiana, all members of the committee
on ways and means, who urged that the
joint resolution was a business matter
merely, disassociated from politics or any
thing of that kind, the passage of which
would result in saving of Si6OO0,0O0 to
the people. Their efforts were seconded
by Mr. Daniel. rep, of New York Mr..
| Stone, rep, of Pennsylvania, Messrs.
| Coombs and Hendrix, dem. of New York,
! Mr.. Springer, DEM. Of Illinois and Mr..
Cooper. dem, of Florida.
The opposition TO the passage of the
| joint resolution was led by Mr.. Hopkins
| rep, of Illinois. and Mr. Bryan, dem, of
| Nebraska, members of the committee on
ways and means, and it developed some
startling points.
Mr.. Hopkins asserted that the President
was not animated by patriotic motives in
sending his latest message to congress,
but a desire to unload on that body the
responsibility for transaction negotiated
by his former law partner. that would
net the syndicate represented by him S25,-
100000
Mr. Tr,,au daetara7 tt,st +t,,. o,,o-,,~ ,
posed in the joint resolution to be but
another step in the accomplishment of
the conspiracy to strangle silver. ana
solemnly assured the House that so Sc
rious did he consider 1t to be that were
there any probability Of its passage and
the forfeiture of his life would prevent IL
he would gladly lay down his life in that
behalf.
Mr. Cannon rep. Illinois hinted at i'm
parchment, and Mr. Hepburn. rep, Of
Iowa said the republicans who favored
the measure proposed a new policy,
reputation of all the declarations OF the
party in the past and the institution Of
a new policy that called for a new
following.
Other speeches against the joint reso-
! luton were made by Messrs. McMillin,
dem, of Texas, Wheeler, dem, of Ala
bama, and Grosvenors rep, of Ohio men,
bers of the committee on ways and means,
vi. l-iNAh6sloiA, utl., Oh GEORGIA, Messfs.
Northway and Hulick. rep, of Ohio.
Messrs Bland and Hatch, dems., of
Missouri, Mr.. KEN, pop, of Nebraska,
Mr. Simpson, pop, of Kansas, and Mr..
Van Voorhis, rep, of New York.
The vote was taken at O'Clock upon the
question, Shall the joint resolution be
engrossed and read third timer"
The result was stated-yeas, 120; nays,
167
THE bin is dead" officially declared
the speaker, and at $3.50 o'clock the House
