WASHINGTON, Jan. 32.—The house lead- ers went down to signal defeat today when the house by 146 to 128 rejected the Philip- pine colnage bill, reported by the insular aEnirt ommittee, and adopted the sub- stitute offered by the minority for the in- troduction of American currency and the American stem nto the islands. The insular committee includes in its membership the chalrmen of powerful committees of the house, Mr. Cannon (Ill), chatrman of the appropria- tions; Mr. Hitt (TL.), chairman of foreign in affairs; Mr. Payne- (N. Y.), chairman of | ways and means; Mr, Hepburn (Ia.), chair- mad of iuterstate commerce, ard Mr. Tawpey (Mion), chairman of the commit- tee on expositions. * This commitice reported a bill to estab- lish the gold standard in the islands and to suthorize the colnage of silver pesos of 416 graios, to be made legal tender at the rate of two pesos for one gosd dolla The majority members made a gallant fight, but & considerable number of republicans, twenty-eight on the final vote, under the ledd of MY.

Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) interposed to sug- gest that the charges were vague and in- definite. No names were given and he sald it seemed to him that something more defi- nite should be vouchsafed the public. Still, he said, he would not insist if the commit- tee was satisfied “Ask for the name,” eried Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) Mr. Wheeler (Ky.) assured Mr. Richard- son that the minority of the committee were satisfied, whereupon the latter ylelded and the resolution was unanimously adopted Colunage Bill Discussed.
