WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - The
third attempt of the administration
at this session to secure Legislation
looking to the relief of the treasury
failed in the house today First the
Carlisle bill for the reform of the
currency system went down; next
the bill for the issue of $500, 900 OF
gold bonds and the retirement of the
legal tenders, recommended in the
presidents special message, was de-
feated last Thursday by a majority
of q. and today the house by ma
iority even larger(4O refused to or
der to a third reading the resolution
by which it was proposed to au-
thorize the issue of $65, 900, 600 of per
cent gold bonds to substitute for the
4 per cent thirty-year coin bonds
sold by Secretary Carlisle under the
contract with the Rothschild-Mor-
gan syndicate.
The action of the house today was
the elimination of the exciting
events which have occurred since
the president sent his special mes
sage to congress which resulted in
the report from the ways and means
committee on the resolution to au-
thoriZe the issue of the gold bonds.
A special order was brought in as
soon as the house met this morning
to bring the resolution to vote at
6 o'clock tonight. The debate upon
;.aI, 10 i've
hours, was Of an interesting and at
times inflammable character.
The galleries were packed, and
there was much confusion on the
floor. but the interest centered in the
course which the Republicans would
pursue, it being conceded that the
fate of the resolution rested with
them. There was
MUCH MANEUVERING
among their leaders. The Repub-
licans west of the Alleghenies, led
by Messrs. Hopkins and Cannon, of
Illinois, started off with impetuouS
speeches against a gold bond that
would discriminate against the
bonds already issued. Mr., Reed and
his Eastern friends sought in private
conference to rally all to united ac-
ton. His plan was to allow the
resolution to go to a third reading,
and then move to recOmmit it with
instructions to report back a bill
similar to that which he offered as
a substitute for the gold bond bill
last week, providing for 3-per-cent
coin bonds. For a time it seemed
possible that this arrangement
would be agreed to, but after the
stirring speech of Mr.. Hepburn, of
Iowa, the middle and Western Re
publicans broke away, determined
to defeat the third reading of the
resolution, lest by some chance it
might carry if passing this parliament
tary stage. The Eastern Republic
ans then decided to support it. The
speeches of Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Reed,
Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Bryan were the
features of the debate.
An analysis of the vote shows that
eighty-nine Democrats and thirty
one Republicans G20 in alb voted in
favor of the resolution, and ninety
eight Democrats, siXty-two Repub-
licans and seven Populists Q67 in
alb voted against the resolution.
The third reading of the resolution
was refuSed-120-l67- as follows:
