8!.ANI)'S FOItCBS KOUI'KII. WASHINGTON', March 25.— Al 12:.Ti this morning, after an exciting1 session, Mr. liland (Mo.), seeing that he could not hope to reach a vote on the free coinage bill, rose and moved an adjournment It was a surprising turn of affairs, and with a round of applause the liland motion wa» adopted. This means that the silver bill loses its preferred place and Roes back on the calendar to take its chance with other bills. The outcome is one of the greatest surprises in recent legislative affairs, as the most vigorous opponents of free silver had conceded that the silver bill would pass the house by a large majority.

The Closing- Debate.

WASHINGTON, March 25.— At the opening of Thursday's session of the house Mr. Bland (Mo.) announced that ho would not call for the previous question until 5 p. m., instead of 2 p. m. as he had, at the begining of the session, staled he would do. Mr. Williams (111.) opened the debate, making a short speech in favor of the bill.

Cockran on Silver.

Bourke Cockran (N. Y.) deprecated the claims that this contest was between the cities aud the country, between the bankers and the people, aud denounced the Bland bill as unconstitutional. With a sweep of his arm he cried: "If after lite establishment of freecotiiiiKC the purity should not be maintained, IS:,: mini would be pluccd in llie position of issuing clipped coins, a crime for wliii-li men were banged 2U0 years ago." lie pointed out how from a failure to maintain parity the farmers and laborers who were compelled to take the cheaper money would be swindled out of difference in values.

Mr. Burtlne'i Arguments

Representative liartine (Nov.), leader of the republican free-coinage men, made au able and comprehensive speech in which he reviewed the llscal policy of this country and Europe on the silver question during the last century.showing benefitstobe derived from free coinage, and combated arguments made against it. He said that in his judgment the silver question was the most vitally important question confronting the American people to-day. Its ultimate decision would IvJar for good or ill upon the industrial fortunes aud social welfare of the entire human family.

Mr. Burtine devoted a very interesting part of his speech to the proposition that the farmer has more at stake in the question than the silver lie did not pretend to that everything abnormal social and industrial conof the day had resulted from silver's demonetization. .Neither did he claim that its remonetization would convert the American continent into a terrestrial paradise and fill the land with Utopian bliss, Hut he did believe that its general result would be all in the line of beneficence: that it would give the producer abetter return for his labor, encourage enterprise and lead to a more even distribution of wealth.

miner, believe in the ditions

Air. lfatrli'a Kemtirk*.

Mr. Hatch (Mo.) made a strong party speech in favor of the bill, announcing that he was in favor of making the bill a matter of party fealty. He told Mr. Williams (Mass.) he did not know the first principles of democracy, and Mr. Williams asked if he was reading him out of the pariy. "No. sir." saiil Mr. Hatch "but you stated that the time was coming when the democratic party must choose between democratic New England and the alliance party of the south and west. 1 am ready to take my stand now. I. will swap you for the barefooted statesman from Kansas [loud and long-continued laughter], and 1 will take your colleague and give him if 1 can win back the young democrat from Georgia (Mr. Watson), who has gone astray. [Laughter.] If that will not do 1 will throw another one overboard." [Laughter.J

A Substitute.

Mr. Taylor (111.) was recognized and sent up to the clerk's desk and had read a proposed substitute measure intended to ridicule the pending bill. It proposed that at the request of anyone who owed more than he could pay. and had the request certified by two of his creditors who wanted their pay, should have forwarded to him immediately by the secretary of the interior enough money to pay all his debts.

Jtutlcr Closed the Debate

It was now 4:50 and Mr. liutler (la.), being recognized, closed the debate by raying that when the act of 1873 had brought the fanners of the country into a condition of suffering the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Taylor), a millionaire, arose, and, with a comical substitute for the bill added insult to injury and mocked the farmers iu their mlfering.

Tito Ite»t Buttle IScKilia.

As liutler sat down Mr. Miami was recognized by the speaker, and in a quiet tone of voice demanded the prerious question on the pending bill. Instantly Mr. Burrows (Mich.), r.epresenting the republican side, moved to lay Mr. Bland's motion for the previous question on the table. The effect of Mr. Burrows' motion if carried would be to kill the free-coinage bill and t« snd the entire question for this session nf congress. Consequently his motion brought to its bupport the votes not jnly of the republican side and the little group of anti-free silver democrats but of all the democrats who, while in favor of free coinage, wished to postpone the passage of a free-silver bill until next December.

The First IloU Call.

I The roll call began at once. When

THE DAILY JOURNAL.

the clerk had called the last name word was quickly passed from the speaker's desk to Mr. Bland that tho motion to table the bill had been carried, 148 to 147. Mr. Bland was astonished. The information quickly spread over the floor, which at once became a scene of howling and eicited disorder. Practically every member left his desk and crowded into the narrow area in front of the speaker's desk, shouting aud gesticulating.

Tlir Speaker Votei.

The recapitulation being completed, the speaker rose from his chair to announce the result, but before doing so directed the clerk to call his name. The. clerk called "Mr. Crisp, of Georgia," and Mr. Crisp, availing himself of his right as a representative, oast his vote in the negative amid the deafening applause of the advocates of the measure.

Lost by a Tie Vote.

The motion was lost by a tie vote of yeas, 148 nays, 148. This first test vote showed the seven alliance members and twelve republicans voting with the determined silver men, while those who voted against immediate action on the silver bill included seven-ty-nine democrats and sixty-nine republicans.

How They Voted.

The democrats who voted with the republicans on Mr. Burrows' original motion to lay the bill on the table were as follows:

Messrs. Ammerman, Andrew, Babbitt, Marwig, Belslioover, Bently, Bowman, Hruwley, Brickner, lirunner. Burning, Busline!!, Cable, Cadmus, Castle, Causey, Chapin, Chipman, Clanccy, Cobb (Mo.), Coburn, Cockran, Cooiiiige, Coombs, Covert, Cox (X. v.), Craig (Pa.), Crosby, Cuminings, Daniel, DeForcst, Dunphy, English. Fellows, Fitch, Geary, Geiaenheimer, Gillespie, Greenleaf, Hall, liallowelt, Hamlllou, Harler, Hutns (O.) Hoar. Houk, KrlbbB, Logan, Lapham. Little, Lockwood, Lynch, Magner, McAleer, McDonald, McGanti, McKulg, MoKinoy, Meyer, Miller, Mitchell, Mutchk-r, Newberry, Oaten, Outhwulte, Page (K. I.), Page (Md.), Pattison (O.), Rayncr, Seerley, Sperry, Stevens, Stout, Stump, Tracey, Warner, Wllcos, Williams, Wilson (W. Va.), NVolverton.

The republicans ho voted In opposition tc the motion were Messrs. Bartine, Bowers, Brodcrick, Clark (Wyo.), Funston, Herrmann, Jolly, Pickler, Sweet and Towfisend.

The following farmers' alliance members voted with the democrats In opposition to the measure: Davis, Halverson, Koto, McKelghan, Otis, Simpson and Watson.

Motlou to Adjourn Lost.

Mr. Outhwaite (O.) at once moved to suljourn. The motion temporarily left members at sea as to their course. Mr. Bland, arising to a parliamentary inquiry, asked if the effect of an adjourn.ment would be to ma'te another special order necessary to call up the bill. The speaker said it would. The vote on adjournment was declared lost— yeas, 09 nays, 108.

Antl-Stlrer Met! Gain II Point. Then Mr. Johnson (0.) took a hand in the fight with a motion to reconsider the vote by which the house refused to table the bill, and Mr. Bland parried his foil with a motion to lay that motion on the table. The motion to table the motion to reconsider was rejected—yeas, 145 nays, 140. Then it was the turn of the anti-silver men to applaud and they did so with vim and enthusiasm.

Cyclone and Thunderstorm. The speaker stated that the vote re curred on the motion to reconsider and Mr. Reed (Me.) sprung to his feet and demanded the yeas and nays and the roll was called. Then the. thunderstorm which had been brewing over the house for the entire day burst in full violence, and for twenty minutes or more the cyclone raged supreme throughout the house.

The speaker, without orde. ing a re capitulation, announced that the motion to reconsider was defeated by a tie vote of yeas, 148 nays, 14S.

Mr. Cockran demanded a rccapitula tion of the vote. The speaker stated that the demand came too late. The confusion was then redoubled and the speaker was then compelled to call in the services of the sergeant-at-arms to restore order.

Anti-Silver Again Ahead.

Finally the vote was recapitulated by unanimous consent and was announced as yeas, 150 nays, 148, and the result was loudly applauded by the anti-silverites.

The question-then was on the motion to lay the pending bill on the table and after a scene of wild disorder the vote was announced—yeas, 145 nays, 148—so that the house refused to lay the bill on the table.

The chair announced that the question recurred to Mr. Bland's motion for the previous question on the bill and amendments.

A motion by Mr. Raynor to adjourn was lost—SO to 208. Sir. Itland Gives Cp.

Mr. Tracy moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Raynor's motion was lost, and managed to secure another roll call. The result of this vote showed 108 responses, no quorum, and Mr. Bland moved a call of the house, wh'ch was ordered. It was exactly midnigh^ when the call began, and by 12:25 o'clock 271 members had put in an appearance from the house restaurant and committee rooms. But Mr. Bland' had become discouraged, and rising he addressed the chair, stating that at this hour of the morning and with such a slim attendance it would be impossible to get a fair vote on the bill. He therefore moved that the house adjourn. Mr. Bland's acknowledgment of -defeat was greeted with applause from the opposition, and at 12:25 o'clock the house adjourned.

Winter Wheat in Illinois.

SPHIXOFIKLD, 111., March 25.— The Illinois winter wheat bulletin says the area seeded last fall, 1,895,140 acres, was 4 per cent larger than that of 1891. Very little damage has been done by cold weather in northern and central counties but in the southern part of the state the crop will not be more than 50 per cent of that of 1891.

THK IIRIIHINO SKA WIlANOI.1t. WASHINGTON, March 25.—The additional correspondence on the lieliriiig sea question was given out for publication Thursdny evening. Sir Julian Pauncefote, in transmitting Lord .Salisbury's reply to the president's note of March 8, says:

"Lord Salisbury again points out that'the information in the possession of her majesty's gorarnmcnt does not lead him to believe that another year's suspension of scaling is accessary to prevent an undue diminution of the Heal herds. His lordship,however, proceeds toobserve that beyond thnt question it is considered by your government that they have a right to be protected from the loss which they may incur from free sealing being permitted this year, in the event of their claim to Uehring sea being upheld by the arbitrators. He stales that her majesty's government does not dispute that after the ratification of the convention there will be some foundation for this contention, but he adds that the prohibition of all sealing as a remedy has this effect—that the British sealers excluded from Hchring sea would have an undoubted ground of complaint If the Kritih claim should be upheld by the arbitrators l'ronl(l(*nt

Vfgorou* IiititfuaK*.

In conclusion Acting Secretary Wharton says: "The president directs ine to say that the modus of Inst year is the least that this government can accept. In reason tho restraints, after a treaty of arbitration, should be more absolute, not less. Hi? does not desire to protract this- discussion, and having now in the most friendly spirit submitted the consideration which support the just demand of thl* government that the property which is the subject of an agreed arbitration shall not be subject to spoliation pending the arbitration, he expresses the hope that Lord Salisbury will give a prompt and friendly assent to renew the modus. "The president will hear with regret that her majesty's government continues to assert a right to deal with this subject precisely r.s if no provision had been made for a settlement of the dispute aud in that event this government, as lias already been been pointed out. will-he cgmpelled to deal with the subject on the same basis, and to use every means in.its power to protect from destruction or serious injury the property and jurisdiction al rights which it has long claimed and enjoyed." .NoJlCftUlt*.

WASHINGTON, March W.—The long executive session held by the senate Thursday afternoon, so far a& can be learned,

whs

barren of results. The

IJehring sea arbitration treaty was not ratified. No definite action was had on the proposition to make the treaty effective, only upou a renewal of the modus vivendi. The number of senators opposed to a ratification has materially increased.

It now seeras likely that the question of ratification will be held in abeyance until a reply is received from Lord Salisbury to the president's note of March This answer may be of such a character as to stultify the basis upon which the agreement to arbitrate is founded, or require the addition of still other qualifying stipulations.

During* the executive sesaion there was some talk on the general situatiou which ought to have been held in public. for it showed that the senate is practically unanimous in the view that the president has taken the only position that a self-respecting nation could take.

Acting Secretary Whortnu in forwarding* th« president's reply recites that already forty-seven Canadian sealers have sailed iu order to avoid prohibiting notice. lie continues: "It must be assumed that the sincere purpose of the two governments was to promote peace and good will, but If pending the arbitration, either deals with the subject of It solely upon the base of Its own contention and iu utter disregard of the claims of the other, this friendly end is not only not obtained, but a new sense of injury and injustice Is added, even if it should be found possible to proceed with an arbitration under such conditions. Koritmust not be forgotten that If her majesty'* government proceeds during this sealing season upon the basis of its contention art to the rights of the Canadian sealers, no i-huicc is left to this government but to proceed upon the basis of Its confident condition that pclagic sealing in the Hehring sea is an infraction of lis jurisdetion and property rights, His lordship will hardly fall to see this."

A short distance awav were three miners, two of whom, the brothers McCourtney, a (Tor,led an a fleeting spectacle of love strong even unto death. They alone were clasped in each others' arms, and their faces were composed, even though time had ravaged their manly forms, and drilled great wells where their eyes comforted each other in that last dread hour when hope hud fled. The third man—David Davis—it is supposed this is the man— sat beside them, his head between his knees, lie had evidently kept his mouth close to the ground until the last breath of air lia.1 been exhausted.

Conteinp)Mte( Suicide.

The fourteen other miners were entombed in a space 13 feet square. One had an open knife in his hand, as though he intended to lcill himself, but, was stricken by a more sudden death of suffocation.

Kxellement Among Hie Kehittvo*. The finding of the bodies has caused a fever among the families of the dead men still living here. Two of tinwidows have again married, and a few others have moved away from the place in which they felt the great blow that the mine horror brought them.

A K.oiiff Seiiroli.

The search for the bodies litis been carried on unremittingly by the owners of the Hill Farm since the awful disaster about twenty mouths ago, at a cost of over £100.000. After two weeks work the searchers were compelled to abandon the work for a time till the lire, which followed the explosion could be extinguished. The mine was then sealed up and then flooded to.subdue the fire, after which months wero required to clear the mine of water and the tons of collected debris produced by the fire.

Snm.eute'l.

The struggle for life of the entombed miners was as terrible us it was brief. They «-ere sufTocated--liot burned or starved—and it is improbable that any lived longer than an hour. There is an unwritten law of protection among miners, by which they rush together at the sound of an explosion, impelled by a common instinct of selpreservation, for together they stand a better chance of fighting for freedom. So it was with the 11 ill Farm victims. When found they were huddled together in Flat Xo. 10. showing that they had rushed deeper into the mine, and that a moment Inter a scorching breath of death tilled the tlat, choking their lungs, bursting their veins and striking them to the earth to linirer in horrible torture a few moments ami then to die. liorrihl#1!
