position swung into line and crushed it
by AN adverse vote of 102 to 1853. The
vote was not taken directly ON the
passage of the bill, but ON the prelim-
mary motion to engross and read the
bill a third time. The Reilly bill two
years ago was defeated in the same
manner ON the same motion. This is
the fourth funding bin killed in the
house in ten years. An analysis OF
the whole vote yesterday shows that
S6 republicans and 16 democrats voted
for the bill and SO republicans, SO
democrats, popuIists and independ-
ent against it.
Mr.. Powers 0'ep., VT, chairman of
the Pacific railroad committee, entered
a motion to recommit the bill after he
had recovered from the shock of his
defeat, saying that the members of the
house were all in favor of a settle
ment, but evidently opposed to the
principle of the measure his committee
had brought in. He thought that his
committee should have an opportunity
to formulate another bill in the hope
that it would prove acceptable.
point of order was made against Mr..
Powers motion, but at the suggestion
of the speaker the point was not ruled
upon yesterday, but will be when the
house convenes today. MIR. Powers
said last night that he did not know
what would be done, but expressed the
opinion that another effort will be
made to pass an acceptable bill. The
opponents of the bill, on the other
aand, are rejoicing and say the
vote yesterday settles the fate of all
schemes to fund the debt at this SEES
sion. C. P. Huntington, president of
the Southern Pacific road, was the in
