The scene Of enthusiasm which
greeted the announcement of the vote

oeen paraueled IN the house. All day
long the galleries were jammed with
enthusiastic spectators, applauding TO
the echo the Sterling patriotism Of the
words OF eiOquence which were ut
tered oy th E members on the floor. All
the speeches were brief Although
four hOu rs were allowed for debate, so
great " as the pressure for time that

i've minutes, and most OF them had to
eo'Atent themselves with a beggarly
fraction Of minute. In all, SO speeches
were made.
In the whole debate, there was only
slight discOrdant note caused by the
speech Of Gen. Bingham, of PennsyI-
vania, a gallant soldier who served
with distinction under Hancock He
spoke too cOnservatively for the
aroused temper Of the house, and
when he insisted that our relations
with Spain were as friendly as they
had been for years, many Of the mem
bers Kissed him The speeches which
attracted most attention were those Of
Messrs- Cannon, Henderson and DoIli-
yer on the republican side. and Messrs.
Bailey and Sayers on the democratic
side.

plause went up from the members and

posed an agreement they had privately
made before the house met, for three
hours general debate on the bill, to

the fve-miuute rule. The debate
closed at APO p. IN When the question
was put on the passage Of the bill, the
whole house rose en- masse in its favor,
but Mr.. Cannon asked for the ayes and
noes He did 50, he said, at the re-
quest Of many members who desired
