KILLED THE BLAND BILL.
An Attempt to Pass it Oyer the Presi¬
dent’s Veto Fails.
Twenty-Eight Votes Were Needed to
Carry it Through.
The house voted on the question of
passing the seigniorage lull over the
president’s veto Wednesday afternoon.
The vote stood 144 to 114—not two-
thirds, and the seigniorage bill is now
dead.
An analysis of the vote, however,
shows that eight more than two-thirds
of the democrats voted to pass the
hill over the veto. With the republi¬
cans out it would have passed. The
144 votes in the affirmative were com¬
posed of 118 democrats, eighteen re¬
publicans and eight populists.
The negative vote showed fifty-five
democrats and fiftv-nino republicans.
Speaker Crisp himself voted aye.
When he did there was applause from
the The majority of democrat.
light was unexpectedly launched
upon the house. It was short and
quick, but it was wildly exciting.
When the lions) met, a quorum of
democrats was present, and after seve¬
ral roll calls Mr. English, of Califor¬
nia, was seated. Then Mr. Bland
called up tho seigniorage bill aud
moved its passage over the president’s
veto. Immediately there was great
excitement on the floor. As the
read the bill Mr. Bland sat silently
chewing Tracy, his wad of tobacco.
Mr. of New York, rushed to
General Rickies to confer with him.
Tom Reed, Burrows, Boutelle and
Cannon conferred. As soon as the
reading was over General Sickles cried
out: “Mr. Speaker, I raise the ques¬
tion of consideration.” He tried to
argue his point and at the same time
everybody else in the house tried to
talk.
Finally the speaker overruled ground the
question of consideration on the
that the constitution provided that a
bill vetoed by the president should bo
returned to (lie house in which it orig¬
inated, and that when returned such
house should immediately proceed to
consider it 1'he house could, by a
vot< , postpone, but the question of
cons adoration was not in order
When the speaker completed his
ruling Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, sug¬
gested in his usual sarcastic style that
he would like to nay additional rea
sons. “As (lie chair lias stated be¬
fore,” responded Speaker Crisp, “when
the..elude »)•'•' ■ q ■ i.lino, mid .gives
reasons it holds that 'Op genlitunhc* ntrs
the right to ask for any othei' and fur¬
ther reasons than those stated.”
“That is one of the later innovations
of the chair,” facetiously remarked
Boutelle.
“That is one of tho rulings which
has boon made to resent what the chair
regards as impertinence,” quickly re¬
plied the spi alu in firm and com
maiiding bines. Boutelle dropped in
his chair amidst applause. Then there
were loud cries of “Vote, vote,” on
the democratic side.
Mr. Bland cried amid tho furor that
lie was willing for an immediate vote.
The speaker put the question quickly
and declared that under the constitu¬
tion an aye aud tiny vote was required
and at. once the clerk began tlm roll
call. The result of tlm vote was ayes,

Hie While Metal Down.
A Washington special says: Silver
is bobbing Up again all over the world
with a buoyancy that, clearly demon¬
strates that it cannot bo held beneath
the surface. Neither England’s action
nor tho acts of the present administra¬
tion of the United States government
can hold the white metal down. At
last the silver standard nations of the
American lit,incut are rising up to
protest, and lo force England to rocog-
nize silver as it has been recognized
in the past. I'hc Central and South
American republics are refusing to pay
interest on their bonds held in Eng¬
land, in gold, when England is at¬
tempting to make silver a worthless
metal.
