LONG:STRUGGLE OVER. Bland Bill For Coinage of Silver Seigniorage Passed. VOTE WAS YEAS 167, Nays Measure us Passed is in the Nature ef a Substutute- Washington, D. C., March 1.— The long struggle in the House over the Bland bill for the coinage of the | 5 : | Buck was an officer in the defane seigriorage and the silver bullion in the Treasury was ended to day by| the passage of the bill by a vote of 167 to 130, a majority in favor of the bill of 37. The special order to bring the bill to a vote was adopted by a bare quorum immediately after the House convened. This broke the oppositicn of the filibusterers, and they were powerless to do any thing further to place an obstacle in the way of the bill. All the amendments offered to the measure by its opponents were defeated, the one which polled the most votes be ing Mr. Outhwaite’s amendment to strike out the second section. The bill, as passed, was in the nature of a substitute for the origi nal text of the measure. The changes do not affect the material features of the bill, which provides for the coinage of the silver seignior age in the Treasury the issue of sil yer certificates thereon, if need be,in the discretion of the Seeretary of the Treasury, in advance of the coin age of the remainder of the bullion as fast as practicable and the issue of silver certificates thereon to take the place of the treasury notes issued under the Sherman act, which are to be retired and cancelled as rapidly as the coinage takes place The changes in the substitute simply makes specific the fact the seignior- age is to be coined, and that this bill shall not affect the redemption of the treasury notes under ‘existing jaw. An analysis of the vote by which the bill passed shows that 141 Dem ocrats, 19 Republicans and 8 Popu lists (total, 168) voted for it, and 79 Republicans and 50 Democrats (to- tal, 129) voted against it. BLAND OBTAINS A QUORUM. Exactly a quorum voted, and the special order was adopted—166 to 18. The long struggle was over, and a vote upon Mr. Bland’s bill was as | sured. Immediately upon the an nouncement of the vote the Speaker declared that in accordance with the provisions of the order just adopted the bill would be open for debate and amendment for two hours. Mr. Bland was recognized and offered a substitute for the original bill The first section of the sub. stitute is identical with the first sec- tion of the orginal bill, except that the coinage is to proceed as fast as “possible,” instead practicable.” The substitue for the second section reads: “After the coinage provided forin the first section (the seigniorage) the remainder of the bullion purchased in pursuance of the act of July 14, 1890, shall be coined into legal ten der standard silver dollars as fast as possible, and the coin shall be held for redemption of the treasury notes issued against such bullion. As fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes shall not be re issued but shall be cancell- ed in amounts equal to coin held, derived from coinage herein provid ed for, and silver certificates shall be issued on such coin in the manner now provided by law; provided, that this act shall not be construed to change existing laws relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of existing treasury notes under the act of 1800. A sufficient sum of money is appropriated to carry into effect the provisions of the act.” The vote was then taken on the Bland substitute. No attempt to break a quorum was made on vote, and then the Blani substitute was adopted—171 to 96. Before the} vote could be taken Mr. Tracey of New York moved to recommit the |YOU seen my glove?

The court, however, took the other view. They Lold the legislature to be in harmony with the constitution, and that an instruction to the jury following the language of the statute was correctly In view of the fact that there are now more than a hundred criminal cases of this character pending in this state, this opinion has been looked for since the submission of the cause with unusual interest. It is conceded that conviction can be much easier secured under this ru!- ing than if the state had been required to prove actual knowledge on the part of the officers. z Cure for Headache. 2 As a remedy tor all forms of Head- ache Electric Bitters’ has proved to be the yery best.

The Union infantry regi- ment with the highest percentage of killed wounded and missing in any one action was the first Minne soto, which at Gettysbnrg, lost in one day 215 men out of 262 engaged. A review of the advance sheets of this volume give the following in- teresting date which cannot fail to attract the attention of every old soldier. At Waterloo the French had 80, 000 men 252 guts; the allies 72,000 men and 186 guns. At Gettysburg Meade had 82,000 men and 300 guns and Lee had 70,000 men and 250 guns. Wellington at Waterloo lost 23,185, Mead at Gettysburg, 26,003 Napoleon, 26,300, and Lee 20,440. At Gravellotte the Germans lost 20, 578 out of 146,000 troops engaged. At Boroddino, the bloodiest battle since the introduction of gunpowder the Russians lost 30,000 and the French over 20,000, but the percent age of loss was less than Gettysburg Chicamauga or Waterloo.

Justice White, the new member. of the United States supreme court, will be swoan in on March 5 next> that being the first day of the spring term. He will be at once called up- on to take part in the consideration of more important litigation than has greeted a new justice in many years. For many weeks the court has been anxiously awaiting a full bench, and in the meantime impor- taut cases have been fixed for hear- ing at such time as the new justice should take his place on the bench. These cases were finally set for March 5 in the hope that a nomina- tion and confirmation might be made by that time. The records show that by the ac- cession of Justice White to the bench, it leaves New York state without a representative in the court for the first time since 1806, the only exception since the court was established. The exact succession from New York is as follows: John Jay (chief justice.) 1790 to 1794; Brockholdst Livingstone, 1818 to 1820; Smith Thompson, 1828 to 1843; Samuel Nelson, 1845 to 1872: Ward Hunter, 1872 to 1882; Samuel Blatchford, 1882 to 1893.
