ANTI-SILVER WINS.

VOORHEES* BILL FINALLY PASSES THE SENATE. Long and Desperate Contest Concluded as Mr. Cleveland Disired—Twenty-three Republicans and Twenty Democratic Senators Voted for the Measure. ■ Mi: . End ot the Fight. Unconditional repeal Las carried the day in the United States Senate. At 7:20 o’clock Monday night the Voorhees bill was passed by tne decisive vote of 43 to 3k. It was the same repeal majority of 11, indicated when the voting began three days before. It remains now only to rec ncile minor differences of phraseology between the Senate and the House, and, this being done, Pres'dent C'eveland's signature will make the repe :1 I*lll a law. The last scene in the tenate was devoid of excitement. The:' was a lack of that high tension which had existed up to that time. Senators knew pe.fe-.tly well what was coming, and they awaited the recording of the final vote as a matter of formality. The real victory had been won when the silver men surrendered last week, and this last act was merely the formal expressi .n of that surrender. At 7 o'clock the Senate galleries were still crowded, although it was long past the usual time of adjournment Efforts had been made to take a recess, but Senator Voorhees. wearied with delays, insisted that the Senators should keep their seats until the final vote was taken. The silver men kept up their speeches until the last. Senator Stewart had the last word. When he took his seat Vice President Stevenson directed the clerk to put tho bill on its final passage. It was read for the last time, and then the roll-call began. Not a Senator on the floor took the trouble to keep tally on the call. They answered mechanically to their names. There were no surprises as the roll proceeded. Men answered just as they had voted on the early amend,ments. The Southern silver Senators held together to tho last. The Votr* In Detail.
