All efforts to amend the resolution
were voted down by najorftfes rang
ing from 5 to 20, Mr.. Lodges gold
standard substitute being defeated by
the latter majority, the vote being ~
to So. ~ :
The events of the day leading up to
the final vote were full of interest and
Importance. It was field day for the
orators of the senate, no less than
twenty-five senators embracing the op-
portunity to speak upon the subject
under consideration. That the debate
was interesting was attested by the
attendance in the galleries which
were crowded throughout the day; and
that it was important was evidenced
by the statements OF several of the
speakers that the discussion was but
political parties for the contest of
1890 From 10 o'clock in the morning
until 7 in the evening the contest con-
tinued. When the voting began it was
evident that party lines were being
broken On both sides of the chamber,
but it was on the substitute offered
by Mr.. Lodge that the most decided
break occurred. On the Republican
side Mr.. Allison Of Iowa and Mr.. Bur
rows Of Michigan did not answer to
their names on that roll call and many
Of the Republicans voted directly
against it. Upon the final passage Of
the resolution some Republicans who
supported Mckinley and the st. Louis
platform in 1896, like Carter of Mon
tana, Chandler Of New Hampshire,
Clark Of Wyoming, Pritchard of North
Carolina, Shoup of Idaho, Warren Of
Wyoming and Wolcott Of Colorado,
voted for the resolution because, as
MI Wolcott announced, they did not
believe the resolution committed those
who supported it to the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver. The follow
ing is the detailed vote upon the final
passage Of the resolution:

Methodist Claim Goes Through.
In the house the bill to pay the book
publishing company of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South 1888. 600 for
damages sustained by that corpora ton
during the war, after encountering an
obstinate tilibuster which STAYED off a
| vote on two previous bill days, was
| piloted to it's passage by Mr.. Cooper Of
Texas, who was in charge of the
measure. The friends of the measure
proved themselves in an overwhelm-
| ing majority and the opposition find
ing it could hold out no longer reluc-
| family yielded. The vote on the bill
was 1SS to G..
First Night Session.
This was the first night session Of
this congress devoted to pension legis-
| lation. No disposition to contest the
bills presented for consideration de-

the hour of adjournment arrived.
| Washington, Jan. 81 - There seems
to be no prospect of an abatement of
the political debate which has been in
| progress in the house during the con-
slderatlon of the appropriation bills.
| Again Saturday almost the entire ses-
sion was consumed in the discussion
OF political topics. The controverted
| question as to whether prosperity had
arrived attracted the most attention
| and interest, and testimony pro and
con was offered throughout the day.
At times considerable acrimony was
displayed, but as rule the debate
was good natured, both sides seeming
to recognize that it was merely a
| struggle to secure political advantage.
| The house went into committee of
| the whole and resumed the considera-
ton of the District of Columbia ap-
| preparation bill. The general debate
i covered wide range. The Teller reso-
| luton, the Cuban question, Hawaiian
annexation, the tariff and other politi-
cal topics were discussed. At the
| conclusion of the general debate the
bill was taken up for amendment un-
der the fve-minute rule.
