PROPOSITIONS MADE

NhsHINGT0N, Feb. 7.-The house Las discussed plans for financial relief for three days, and refused by decisive votes to pass any one of them. When the cc mmittee of the whole at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon concluded it's sessions three propositions were reported to the house for its action the original Springer bill, known as the administration bill, proposing the issue of $500 ,000, ,000 per cent fifty year gold bonds, as amended by the committee of the whole; the substitute proposed by Mir. Reed, au- thorizing the issue of two year Fer cent certificates of indebtedness to meet current deficiencies in the revenue aud bonds to cover the deficiency in the gold reserve, with an amendment proposed by Mir. Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska, reaffirmiog the declaration of the Mathews resolution of 1878, 10 the effect that coin obligations of the government are payable in standard silver dollars at it's option; and the substi- tute of MT. Cox of Ten nessee, containing a rehabilitation ot state banks, with an amendment proposed by Mir. Cobb, demo- crat, of Alabama, expressly declining 10 confer the right 10 issue bones upon the secretary of the treasury.
 MT. Bryan's amendment was refused yeas 1l7, nays 169-and then Mir. Reeds su bs.itute went the same way by Il vote of 109 to 1S7. This was nearly party vote, lue pOpullbtb auu u6t0O cTdtS on one S1Qe anu the republicans In favor of the substitute.
 The amendment proposed by MT. Cobb to Mir. Cox's substitute WAS voted down viva voce, and the substitute itself re- ceived but 65 votes in the affirma- tive to 184 in the negative.
 MT. Cnx's request for g yea and nay vote was not supported by a sufficient number to secure 1t. By the unexpectedly large vote of 159 nays and 97 yeas the house, upon division, refused to order the engrossment and third reading of the amended Springer bill, which announce ment was received with applause.
 vote by yeas and nays somewhat re- duced the majority against the bill, it re- sulting-yeas l35, nays 163, present and not voting 4. Just before the vote was an- explanation of the attitude of himself and associates on the repub blican side, but was cut off by cries of ''sit down."
 He was going to say: s'I had, with the support of all the repu olicans, presented a proposal which the ruling powers saw fit to refuse. Nevertheless had gone further and voted for bill which contains things which l do not approve of, simply to ena- ble the matter to go to the senate, with hopes that something might be done. The and have no doubt this sioe of the house would vote for the second section of my substitute on any other proposition which had any special chancs oI pessing.'' ''
 MT. Springer, having changed his vote for that purpose, moved to reconsider the vote, and that motion, on motion of Mir. Hatch, democrat, of Missouri, was laid on the table-yeas 135, nays 123-which finally disposed of the matter.
 The question pen ding when the commit tee of the whole refused onsidsration of the bill was as to whether the matter of the chairman ruling out Mr. Bland's substi- ute a point of order should be sus- tained. It was decided in the affirmative 130 to 52.
 In the course of the consideration of the bill MT. Wheeler democrat, of Alabama, moved to repeal the tax oi 10 per cent on state banks circulation and it was lost by a vote of 96 10 S4.
 An amendment proposed by Mir. Bell, populist, of Coioraoo, providing for the payment of the bonds In gold or silver, without discrimination against either, was lost-106 to "A.
 MT. Bland got a vote on an amendment requiring the treasury notes issued under the Sherman act of 1890 to be redeemed iu accordance with section of that law and directing the coinage of the seigniorage of the silver bullion in the treasury, and it came within five votes Of being adopted 1C9 to IA.
 Before the bill was taken up bills were passed authorizing the reopening of tho abandoned military reservation at Fort Jupiter, Fla, and granting a pension of $50 month to the widow of the late Gen. John C. Kelton, aojotant-general o; the army.
 Mir. Grosveuor, republican, of Ohio, offered resolution, for which he vainly asked immediate consideration, directing the appointment a committee of five to investigate the congressional elections in Tennessee last November, with view to reporting whether or not the commissions issued hereunder. by the governor of ihe state should be recognized by the house. It WAS referred to the committee on elec- tioIs.
