From II a. m. until a;So D m when tho bill, with the pending substitutes, was report cd to the house from the committee of tho whole amendments were offered in rapid succession, most of which were voted down as fast as they were offered Many of them werc designed 10 load down the bill, and the votes thereon were in no sense test votes
 The Bell amendment, for instance to make the bonds payable in gold and silver was defeated by the decisive vote of 76 to l06, while the bill was defeated by lS4 to I6l.

 Springer Much Discouraged.
 Chairman springer of the banking and currency committee was not prepared 10 say whether any further action would be ] taken. or what would now be done He was very much disappointed Ht the result and blamed the Republicans saying if they had sto'd hy the bill 1t would have passed If nythine was to be done n now bill would have to be brought in as the bill voted upon Is beyond recall An other D; Inocrats who were for the bill said that this was the end of anything in tho way of financial Legislation There was some talk nf a Pemotratio caucus, but that did mt scem probable The general impression prov Vaiiel that there would now be another bond issue without delay.
