The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.. Hoar

TEN, WAS taken up and agreed to: also tho reso-
luton offered yesterday by Mr.. Tillman in rela-
ton to railroad tickets and passes.
The result of the two roll calls, by which the
Stanley Matthews resolution was taken up, in
dicates beyond question that It will eventually
be passed. Tit sound.money Senators on both
sides of the chamber were greatly surprised at
the vote, but of course It 10. not regarded as q
straight test of the strength Of the silver and
anti.silver men. The vote of Mr.. Quay.
for instance. cannot be accounted for, as
he had been put down as opposed to the reso-
luton or its consideration. Senator Aldrich,
the Republican whip. made a poll yesterday.
which showed that only one vote was needed to
defeat the resolution; yet to-day. on the ques-
luton were be9ten By, a majority of 16; It
10 now thoughE that the resolution will DO
amended, debat6a briefly. and allowed to pass
and go to the House. where. Of course, 1t will be
pigeonholcd in committee. The. anti-silver men
of the Senate have q poll which they think
~1ustifles them in making the claim that there
arc forty.fivo Senators who would vote against
the passage OF q free coinage bill.
