WASHINGTON. Dec 16-The six days
debate upon the currency bill closed in a
sensational manner. The Republican
leaders had evidently set a trap for the
minority, to show that discord existed
on the money question, and 1t was timed
SO as to make the scene as dramatic as
possible Just at the close Of the debate
today three of the heavyweights, Gen.
Grosvenor, Of Ohio; Mr.. Dalzell, Of Penn
sylvania, and Mr.. Dolliver, of Iowa,
were put forward TO call the attention Of
the country to the fact that in the long
debate very little had been heard about
flee coinage of silver at Is to 1 from the
minority side of the house, and that not
one had offered an amendment contain
ing such a proposition. Mr.. Grosvenor
said 1t was one Of the signs Of the COM

ing regeneration Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader, in
dignantly denied any intention of aban-
doning silver, and called attention to the
fact that under the special order under
which the house was operating neither a
substitute nor a motion to recommit was
in order. Then Mr.. Dalzell challenged a
member Of the opposition to offer free
coinage amendment.
In response half the Democratic mem

but here and there was an Eastern Dem
ocrat shouting his disapproval There
were cries of ''bluf'' from the Demo-
cratic eide, but the Republicans, after
the parliamentary obstacles had been re-
moved through Mr.. Overstreet, who was
in charge of the bill, asked unanimous
consent for an amendment to the rule to
permit the amendment to be offered.
Then Mr.. briggs and Mr.. Levy; two
New York Democrats, blocked the game
with objections.
No amendments were offered to the bill
today, and only one section Of the bill
was read. The whole time was occupied
in five-minute speeches. The incidents
of the day were a sensational speech by
Mr.. Lentz Oem.. o. denouncing the
prosecution Of the war in the Philip
pines, ard charging an alliance between
Great Britain and the United States to
subvert liberty, one In South Africa and
one In the Orient, and an attack upon
the memory Of ex-President Hayes by
Mr. Clark Oem., MOI. Mr.. Brown, an
Ohio Republican, warmly defended the
memory Of Mr.. HAYES.
The vote upon the currency bill will be
taken Immediately after the reading of
the journal on Monday, Mr.. Overstreet
IN charge of 1t. says It Will have thirty
five majority. He says eight Democrats
will vote for 1t, and seven will not vote

Upon preferred amendment Mr.. Gros-

of the statements made by Mr.. Bailey
yesterday. He had read quotation from
q speech made by Mr.. Bailey on the
Dingley bill predicting that 1t that bill
failed to bring prosperity the Republic
ans would not live long enough to secure
an audience from the people upon the
proposition that they could be made
happy by increased taxation. In view of
that prophecy Mr.. Grosvenor thought the
Republicans could view with eQuanlmity
Mr.. Bailey's forebodings Of yesterday.
Mr.. ClaFk lMo) made an amusing
speech, poking fun at the Republicans
for their efforts to secure consolation
from the late elections. Il sounded to
him. he said, like the boy who, in reply
to question as to affairs at home. said:
"Oh, very well. Mother and sister are
dead, but we managed 10 pull the old man
through"
With comb cut, both wings proken and
tail feathers out, the Republicans were
growing because the old man had pulled
through. The only person who, he
thought, was entitled to extract comfort
from the elections was Mr.. Grosvenor
(O.). He had pulled the old man through.
