WAsuINCToN, Jan. 3l,--The final vote
on the bord silver bill will be taken in
the senate at y o'clock tomorrow, an
agreement to that effect having been
reached today This brings to Il con
clusion the debate covering many days.
The agreement came rather uneXpeCted-
" at the close OF Villas speech. He bad
talked for three hours and was about to
be followed by Bate, when Chandler
precipitated fine question of d final vote
by stating that lie would ask unanimous
consent for recess from 4 o'clock until
F.30. While the senator did not mention
a vote it was well understood that the
move was to expedite vote by dispos.
ing of the speeches during the evening.
Harris of Tennessee put the voting prop
osition in more definite form by asking
!hat the agreement cover tao recess from
+ until 80 clock, "a further recess until
Il tomorrow, then the five minute rule
TO apply except to Morrill,, the venerable
head Of the finance committee, and,
finally vote on the bill and all amend

understanding that the various parlia-
'uentary motions--to postpone, lay on the

was readily seconded by Harris, 50 long
as the tnM vote was at , o'clock. This
disposed Of the last remaining objection,
and tho presiding officer declared the
unanimous agreement to be in force.
Aside from this the day was given 10
speeches on the pending bill.

KNOCK BLOW
Report Of the Committee Of the New
York Yacht Club That In
yestigated
LORD DUNRhVEN'S CHARGES
Decision That the Lord Did Not Know
What lie Was Talking
About.

NGw loHK, Jan. 3l.--'rhe committee
Of the New York Yacht club, which in
yestigated the charges of the earl Of
Dunrayen in reference to the cup race,
today made public its report. The charge
WAS that after being measured the yacht
Defen er was surreptitiously loaded 60
as to sink her four inches deprcl in the
water; that she sailed in that condition
the first day, and that Immediately after
the race the ballast was secretly re-
moved, 50 that when measured next day
no dlscrepany was found to exist between
the measurements. The conclusion
reached is:
ST pom careful consideration of the
whole case the committee are unaOi
mously of the opinion that the charge
made by Lord Dunraven had its origin
in mistake; that it is not only not sus.
tained by evidence, but it is completely
disproved;aDd that al! the circumstances
indicated by him as giving rise to sus-
picions are entirely and satisfactorily ex.
planned. they deem it, therefore, but
just to Mr.. Iselin ard the gentlemen con-
cerned with him, as well as to the OIL
GERS and crew of the Defender, that the
committee should express empLatically
their conviction, that nothing whatever oc-
CURED in connection with the race in
question that casts the least suspicion
on the integrity or propriety of their
conduct, and the committee is not will
ing to doubt that if Lord Dunrayen had
remained present throughout the inycs-
tigation. SO as to have heard all the cyi-
dcnce that was introduced, he would Of
his own motion have withdrawn the |
charge that was so plainly founded upon
a mistake, and that has been SO unfortu-
nate in the publicity it has occasioncd
and the feeling to which it has given
rise "
