vREELAND BILL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-Al-
though the Democrats went on record
solidly against the Vreeland currency
bill, and drew with them fifteen Repuo-
lican insurgents. the measure, as agreed
on by the Republican caucus, passed
the House by 1874 to las.
The closing moments of the debate
were replete with excitement, caused
by the refusal of the great majority
of the Democrats to go on record for
the williams bill, which had been Of
fered by Mr.. Kahn, of California, as a
substitute for the Vreeland bill. in ac-
cordance with a plan of the majority
leaders to ascertain where the Demo-
Gratis stood on the proposition, winch
was supported by w. j. Bryan. Ninety
three Democrats voted present, which
aroused the Republicans to hllarlty.
The action of Mr.. Kahn was due TO
the refusal of Mr.. Williams to present
his bill as a substitute, which, under
the rule, he was specifically authorized
to do.
