 VOTE OF ~ TO 32.

Contest Lasts from 10 q. m. to p. m, and the Events of the Day Are Full of Inter- est-Party Lines Broken-An Efforts to Pass Amendments Unsuccessful-Sub- stance of Resolution is That All Bonds Issued by the United States Are Made Payable, Principal and Interest. at op- ton of the Government, in Silver Dollara The Vote.
 Washington, Jan. 2s.-After a debate animated at all times and occasionally acrimonious, which occupied the greater part of this week, the senate this eve ming by the vote of AT to 32 passed the Teller concurrent resolution. The resolution is a practical affirmation of that of Stanley Matthews in 1878 and is as follows: G
 That all the bonds of the United States issued or authorized to be is- sued, under the said acts of congress hereinbefore recited are payable, prin- cipal and interest, at the option of the SOVeIlA1lGilI ol tHe CiiilSu otettSo AtA silver dollars of the coinage of the United States containing four hundred and twelve and one-half grains each of standard silver; and that to restore to it's coinage such silver coins as legal tender in payment of said bonds, prin- cipal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor"
 All efforts to amend the resolution were voted down by majorities ranging from five to twenty-nine, MT. Lodges gold standard substitute being defeated by the jatter majority. The vote on the Lodge amendment was ayes 24, nays 53 The events of the day leading up to the final vote were full of interest and importance. It was field day for orators of the senate, no less than tWen- ty-fve senators embracing the oppor- < tunity to speak upon the subject under discussion. That the debate was inter- esting was attested by the attendance in the galleries, which were crowded throughout the day; and that it was important was evidenced by the state ments of several of the speakers that the discussion was but the preliminary alignment of the great political parties for the contest of 1900.
 From 10 o'clock this morning until z this evening the contest was continued. 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 MT. Lodge of Massachusetts that the most decided break occurred. On the republican side MT. Allison of Iowa and MT. Burrows 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 reso- lution some republicans who supported Mckinley and the St. Louis platform in 1896, like Carter of Montana, Chand Ter of New Hampshire, Clark of Wy orning, Pritchard of North Carolina, Shoup of Idaho, Warren of Wyoming and Wolcott of Colorado, voted for the resolution, because they did not believe the resolution committed those who supported it to the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
