DEFEATED BY ONLY TWO VOTE& Republican* Kudeavor to Suspend the Rule* in the Uouw, hut Fall to Se cure h Two-third* Vole—-Debate on the Me iiure —The Vote in Detail —Gen- eral Washington New*. Washington, April t,—The second Monday in each month i* set aside by the house for Dislri' - JMkhuntdn"busi ness. The idea gaiued currency that yesterday was the second Monday in April and a large number of Democrats were absent in consequence. The Re publicans, who had a large attendance, attempted to take advantage of this situation by suspending the rules and passing'The service pension bill, but railed to secure the necessary two thirds vote. Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, moved to sus pend tiie rules and pass i wiili a substi tute) senate bill granting pension to soldiers and sailors who aro incapaci tated from the |ierformaiice of labor and providing for pensions to widows, minor children ad dependent parents. A M:rv on I'oiiilo t. Mr. MorriU briefly explained iliat the substitute provided a service [lendion of $8 a month to soldiers who have reached the age of 02 years or who are dejieiid ent. He thought that the same prin ciple which had been applied to the veterans of the war with .dexico should be applied to the veterans of the war of 18tH. in answer to a question from Mr. Sayers, of Texas, he stated that it waa estimated that the senate bill would re quire an annual expenditure of $ >0,000,- 000 and the house substitute would re quire $59,000,000 annually.

Mr. Yoder, of Ohio, said that no soldiers’ organization had petitioned for the passing of tiie pending Dill, and tiie outrageous proceeding of today had lieen actuated by the desire of the Re publicans to escape going on record on tiie service pension bill. Mr. Yoder closed the debate in oppo sition to tiie motion to suspend the rules, and in conclusion asked unani mous consent to suiistitutefor the pend ing bill the bill— But amid much laughter tiie speaker brought down his gavel and declared that the gentleman's time had expired. Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, ridiculed tiie idea of the gentlemen on the other side of the chamber posing as the friends of the soldier, chided them with oppos ing general pension laws during the six years they had control of the house, and declared that every such law which had been enacted had been enacted by Republican votes and against the oppo sition of the Democrats. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said that the pending bill would place M8,#09 names of soldiers on tiie pension rolls and lie submitted that no friend of the soldier could refuse to vote for it, even though it did not go as tar as he would like to see it go. Hie Motion Defeated. After further debate the motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was lost -yeas, 1(59; navs, 87—nut tiie neces sary two-thirds in the affirmative. The following bills were then passed under suspension of tiie rules: Senate bill appropriating $!3,oO) to build an addition to the public building at Houston, Tex.

Seventy points was his count and ill it he chased the glolies into all |>urts of the table, the delicate nurse and two quadruple cushion shots being features. The score now was 151 to 50 in Ives' favor. The latter made 4 skyrockets and an ugly scratch in the next.
