gloves, making them the butt of many
sarcastic tlings and amusing comparisons.
He quoted figures to show that fratsrnal

days debate, the house today by vote
of 80 to 100 in the committee Of the
whole rejected the senate free coinage
amendments 10 the bond bill and re-
ported III > bill to the house with the re-
commcndation 10 non concur and insist
on the house bill. The strength de-
veloped by The silver men was dieap-
pointing. They had been confidently
claiming over leo votes. After two

majority and Crisp for the minority
day to concur with amendments as fol-
fows: To coin the American silver pro-

France should have agreed upon similar
action, All were defeated by large ma
joritiee. The last proposition offered, by
Towne (Miun.), mustered G3 votes the
highest numb r of any. Towne had
stated to tho house that a similar propo-
sition would be submitted to the reich

means committee, looking to the initia-
tion by this country of project for an
other international monetary conference
to meet within this year.

finance committee, to take up the tariff
bill. The negative vote which defeated
the motion was given by democrats, pop
ulists and four republican senator's viz
Teller, Mantle, Dubois and Carter. The
affirmative vote was entirely republican,
but its total of q is less than half the
aggregate republican strength. Morrills
motion had been anticipated for some
daye, but it was not pressed, pending tho
consideration of the urgent deficiency
appropriation bill. This measure was
passed at 4 o'clock today and the
struggle to advance other meas
ures began at once. Senator Morrill,
was hurriedy summoned from the
finance committee room to submit his
motion. In the meantime Call had So
