BUTLER BOND BILL.
SHORT WORK MADE OF 1T IN
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
ONLY Two Members of the BOdy,
Mcssrs. wheeler and McMulhn, In
Favor of It-MajOrity Report
Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, d. C.. June 4-The
House Ways and Means Committee to-
day made short work OF the Senate
bill prohibiting the further issuance or
bonds without the consent or Congress.
When the committee met this morning
a motion made yesterday by Mr.. Wheel
or. of Alabama, TO report the bill
fayorably to the House was pending.
Before action was taken on this motion,
Mr.. Dingley Republican,, OF Maine,
chairman of the committee. read TO
the members, all Of whom were present
Excepting Mr.. Crisp and Mr McLaurin),
a report. which he had drawn up on the
bill. I'm anticipation OF to-day's meeting.
rhis report was long, and its reading
consumed twenty minutes. Ii Is de-
scribed in a general way as a criticism
OF the administration for its insistence
that the present tariff law will furnish
sufficient revenue for the necessities OF
the government II contained also a
criticism OF the Senate for its failure 10
concur in the revenue measure sent TO
that body early in the session. and ex-
pressed regret that the Senate had done
nothing TO relieve the situation; but had,
on the contrary, intensified 1t.
Mr.. Dinglsys conclusions were that the
adoption Of the bond bill by Congress
would result in panic, ruin, and bank
.uptcy.
When Mr.. Dingley finished, Mr.. eros
venor Republican,. OF ONO, moved 10
amend Mr. Wheelers motion by substi-
tutinp the word adversely for favor
1. h.. demanded Ia
and nays. Those who voted to report
the bill TO the House adversely were
Chairman Dingley. and Messrs. Payne Of
New York. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Hop
klns OF Illinois. Grosvenor OF Ohio, Rus
sell Of Connecticut. Dolliyer Of Iowa,
Steel OF Indiana, Johnson OF North Da-
kota. Evans of Kentucky, and Tawney
OF Minnesota. Republicans; and Messrs.
Turner OF Georgia, and Cobb Of Missouri,
Democrats. The two negative votes were
cast by Messrs. Wheeler Of Alabama, and
McMnlin, OF Tennessee.
Mr. Hopkins stated that II the minority
members desired until Saturday 10 make
their report opportunity would be given
10 them.
Mr.. Wheeler replied that he regarded
the proposition as so important that It
should be brought before the House
without delay He stated that he would
endeavor to prepare report rejecting
the views Of the minority this afternoon.
In this report Mr.. Wheeler will show that
the first expression of the Democratic
platform Of 1876 demanded the repeal OF
the resumption act. He also will assert
that while the integrity OF the present
Executive is unassailable. the power TO
issue bonds is greater than ought TO be
vested in any Chief Magistrate, and that
the responsibility for such matters should
be divided with Congress.
Mr.. Dlngley's majority report is still in
complete in some particulars, and for this
reason the bill will not be reported to the
House until tomorrow, and possibly not
until Saturday.

the drift of the discussion showing that
it is the intention of the Republicans TO

strongly suspected that after this the
Yost-Tucker case. from the Tenth VIZ

lively discussion is anticipated, in which
General Walker and Mr.. Tucker himself
will take part
