| more decisive vote OF 1G7 TO l2o, it de-
clined to authorize the issue OF S65,0OOcoo
| three per cent. gold bonds, win wfich
| to replace the 81 per cent. bonds ne
| gotiatcd with the Morgan-Belmont syndl-
| cate, in payment for the purchase OF
! S3JJD,0)0 ounces Of gold coin.
The consideration of the,joint resolution
! for this purpose. reported yesterday from
| the Committee on Ways and Means ny
| Chairman Wilson. occupied all Of the ses-
sion OF six and a half nOurs, and the
| discussion attracted an attendance Whleh
overlooked the public galleries and On
Diplomatic Corps and other distinguished
visitors. The debate followed in general
yyaV the lines of the debate on the
Springer bill last week, but the opposition
to-day was much more aggressive than
on that ocCasion.

the measure by Mr. Reed dRcp Mel
Dem.. GaD. and MIR. Bynum tDem., lnd),
all members Of the Committee on Ways
and Means. who urged that the joint res
olution was business matter merely,
disassociated from politics or anything OI
that kind, the passage Of which would
result i'm a saving of $lG,GJOOD 10 the peo-
| BILE ;Thcir Efforts were seconded by
Messrs. Daniels Rep., y. -, stone thepp
Pal. Coombs and Hendrix Ojcms., n. ",

the Joint resolution was led by Mr.. Hop
kins Rep., Ill) and Mr.. Bryan O)em.,
Neb), members of the Committee on w ayS
and Means.
1t developed some startling points. Mr..
Hopkins asserted that the President was
not animated by patriotic motives I'm send
ing his latest message 10 Congress, but
by a desire TO unload upon that body
the responsibility for a transaction me-
gouated by his former law partner, that
would net the syndicate represented by
him S2J,JOCJO. Mr.. Bryan declared the
scheme proposed in the joint resolution
10 be but another step I'm the accom-
plishment of the conspiracy % strangle
silver ana solemnly assured the House
tnat so serious did he consider IL 10 DE
that If there was any probability of its
passage and the forfeiture of his life
would prevent it, he would gladly lay
down his lie in that behalf.
