ANrI-BoxD BILL DOOMED.
The Ways and Means Committee
VIII Report 1t Adversely.

Washington. June 4-The House WAYS
and means committee to-day made short
work Of the Senate bill prohibiting the
further issuance Of bonds without the
consent Of congress. When the commit
jtee meet this morning a motion. adopted
yesterday. by Mr.. Wheeler 60 report the
bill favorably TO the House was pending.
Before action was taken on this motion,
Mr.. Dingley. rep. Of Maine. the chairman
Of the committee. read TO the members,
an or whom We're present excepting Mr..
Crisp and Mr.. McLaurin, q report which
he had drawn on the bin in anticipation
or to-days meeting. This report was
long ana its reading consumed twenty
minutes. II Is described in a general way
as criticism Of the administration for
its inslstence that the present tarin law
viii furnish sufficient revenue for the
necessities for the government. IL con-
tanned also a criticism OF the Senate for
It's failure TO concur IN the revenue meas
ure sent TO that body early in the session
and expressed regret that the Senate had
done nothing to relieve the situation, but
had on the contrary intensified IT, Mr.
Dingley's conclusions Were that the adop-
ton of the Butler bill would result in
panic. ruin and bankruptcy.
When Mr.. Dingley finished. Mr. Gros-
venor, rep, OF Ohio, moved TO amend Mr.
Wheelers motion by substituting the
word, adversely" for "favorably," ana
on this he demanded the yeas and nays.
Those who voted to report the bill 10 the
4lhuoG adversely were 1 AulLIndn lNluEltA
and Messrs. Payne Of New York. Dalzell
Of Pennsylvania, Hopkins of Illinois, Gros-
venor of Ohio, Russell Of Connecticut. Dol
liver Of Iowa, Steele OF Indiana, Johnson
Of North Dakota, Evans of Kentucky and
Tawney of Minnesota, republicans and
Turner of Georgia and Cobb of Missouri,
democrats. The two negative votes were
cast by Messrs. Wheeler of Alabama ana
McMillin of Tennessee.
Mr.. Hopkins stated that IL the minority
members desired 20 make their report the
opportunity would be given TO them. Mr..
Wheeler replied that he regarded the pro-
position as so important that ID should be
brought before the House without delay.
He stated that he would endeavor to pre-
pare report rejecting the views OF the
minority this afternoon. In this report
Mr.. Wheeler will show that the first ex-
preston Of the democratic platform OF 1876
demanded the repeal Of the resumption
act. He Will also assert that while the
integrity Of the present executive is unas-
sailable, the power to issue bonds is great
er than ought to be vested iu any chief
magistrate, and that the responsibility tor
such matters should be divided with con-
gress.
Mr.. Dingley's majority report is still
incomplete in some particulars, aud for
this reason the bill viii not be reported
to the House until tomorrow, and possl-
bly, not until Saturday.
