THE SILVER BILL.
It Remains With the Coinage
Committee.
Speaker Reed's Position on the
Mooted Question.
He Deigns to Make an Explanation
of His Action.
The Friends of the "White Metal Appeal in
Vain From the Autocrat's Arbi
trary Decision.
Associated Press Dispatches. I
Washington, June 21. —In the house
today, after tho reading and approval of
yesterday's journal, Bland moved to re
consider the vote by which the yeas and
nays were ordered upon McKinley's mo
tion to table his (Bland's) appeal from
the decision of the chair yesterday, de
clining to entertain his motion to take
the silver bill from the speaker's table.
He announced that he desired to with
draw his appeal, but McKinley insisted
on a vote ;so Bland's motion to recon
sider was put and defeated—oo to 120.
The roll was called on McKinley's mo
tion to table Bland's appeal. It pre
vailed—yeas, 140; nays, 45. All the free
coinage men except De Haven, who did
not vote, voted to table the appeal, as
well as the following Democrats: Buck
lew, Campbell, Dunphy, Fitch, Geissen
bainer, Lewis, McAdoo, Mutchler and
Tracey. A large number of Democrats
refused to vote.
The regular order being demanded,
Speaker Reed proceeded to state his po
sition on the mooted question and the
reference of the silver bill, which he
had referred to the committee on coin
age, weights and measures. He said
the rules required such bills to be refer
red, and a statement to that effect should
be put in the journal and record. The
statement was made and the house saw
fit not to permit it to become a part of
the journal. That left a somewhat
difficult question as to the status of the
bill. Individually the chair believed
that the refusal to record a fact, did not
obliterate the fact itself. The chair be
lieved that the senate amendment to
the silver bill come within the purview
of rule '20, which prescribes that any
amendment made by the senate to any
house bill, must be Considered
first by a committee of the whole.
The senate amendment to this bill
struck out the lirst section, substituting
another section containing no words of
appropriation, and proposing a different
line of action, to-wit: The purchasing
of silver bars and the coining of all sil
ver presented, instead of the purchase
of silver bullion. This and other sub
stitutions were plainly new propositions,
requiring consideration in committee of
the whole. Under these circumstances,
and in conformity with the rules, the
chair held that the bill had been re
ferred and was now referred to the com
mittee of coinage, weights and
measures.
gland, of Missouri, appealed from the
decision and proceeded to argue that the
appropriating clause in the original
house bill, and the bill as it came from
the senate, were similar in terms and
purpose, and that the hill was not sub
ject to reference to the committee of the
whole.
Perkins, of Kansas, said it was the
purpose not to secure free coinage, but
to force through a measure the presi
dent would be obliged to veto.
Henderson, of lowa, held up the ur
gent deficiency appropriation bill as an
instance of a bill which had taken the
same course as the silver bill in refer
ence.
Springer declared that the silver bill
was the only one subjected to this treat
ment. The Republicans, and their
speaker were dodging the silver ques
tion.
Crisp, of Georgia, said a discreditable
way bad been found under the rules, to
still the minority when that minority
bad become a majority. This was the
only opportunity to get a vote upon free
coinage. If the speaker was sustained
and the bill went to the coinage com
mittee, if it ever again came before the
bouse, it would come under a rule that
would keep it entirely within the control
of the gold men—who would alone be
recognized to more amendments.
Townsend, of Colorado, said he voted
as he had because he felt that it was his
duty to his people to endeavor to get
free coinage.
Morrow, of California, contended, in
opposition to the speaker's ruling, that
the bill was on the speaker's table, open
to the disposition of the hohse.
Hermann, of Oregon, said the silver
question was the issue of the election
held four weeks ago in his state. He
had agreed to support the Republican
state platform, declaring in favor of
free coinage. Those were Ins sailing
orders.
Bartine, of Nevada, said the represen
tatives of the silver-producing states
were mostly new members, not trained
parliamentarians, but he could read
plain English, and when the rules said a
bill must be considered in committee of
the whole, it did not mean that it was to
go to the coinage committee.
Fitch, of New York, said it was plain
that yesterday's proceeding was a vic
tory for free coinage. When it came to
that point lie would refuse longer to
combine with the Republicans and
vote to refer the bill to the prope» oom
mjttce.
Clunie, oi California, said there were
not three districts in the United States,
outside of the silver-producing states,
that would support such a proposition
as that contained in the amendment to
the bill. As for the coinage committee,
he would promise again that the bill
would be reported back at the earliest
possible moment. The committee was
not unfavorable to silver.
Connell, of Nebraska, said he could
not see why this should be regarded as
a political question. Some of the Demo
crats may be found voting against the
majority of their party ; why should not
the western Republicans show the same
independence?
The debate having closed, McKinley
moved to table Bland's appeal. The
yeas and nays resulted: Yeas, 144, nays,
117. The appeal was laid on the table.
The following Republicans voted with
the Democrats against MeKinley's mo
tion : Bartine, Connell, De Haven, Her
mann, Kelly, Moore, Townsend and
Funston.
These Democrats voted with the Re
publicans in favor of the motion : Buck
alew, Dunphy, Fitch, Geissenhainer,
Maish, McAdoo, Mutcbler, O'Neil,
Massachusetts; Quinn, Wiley and
Stahlnecker.
A number of pairs were announced.
McKinley, upon the announcement of
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1890.
the vote, said: So the appeal is tabled
and the bill stands referred to the coin
age committee.
Brewer, of Michigan, presented the
report of the appropriation committee
on the senate amendment to the forti
fications appropriation bill. The house
non-concurred, and a conference was
ordered.
Adjourned.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Escheated Mormon Property to be
Devoted to Common Schools.
Washington, June 21.—1n the senate
today the house bill supplementary to
the act of March 22, 1882, in reference
to bigamy, was taken up. It provides
that all funds and property lately be
longing to the Mormon church shall be
devoted to the use and benefit of the
common schools of that territory.
Butler offered an amendment for de
voting the funds to the endowment of
institutions of learning in Utah, and for
that purpose turning them over to the
general board of education of the Church
of Jesus Christ or Latter Day Saints,
subject to regulations to be approved by
the president of the United States, and
not to be used in teaching or propagat
ing polygamy.
Edmunds, in charge of the bill, op
posed the amendment.
Voorhees interpolated that Edmunds
was in too great a hurry to get at the
results of litigation not yet concluded.
With that litigation still undecided in
the supreme court of the United States,
he thought this was not the proper time
to decide where the fruits of the litiga
tion should go.
Butler also argued that the proposed
legislation was premature.
Teller also favored delay. If the Mor
mon church could use the money for
proper and right purposes, the Mormon
church ought to have it. That was the
plain ethics of the matter.
Butler's amendment was defeated—
yeas, 9; nays, 24.
The nine affirmative votes were given
by Bates, Berry, Butler, Call, Coke,
Harris, Ransom, Teller and Vance. All
the negative votes but one (I'ayne's) were
given by Republicans.
There was no quorum, but Butler, in
view of the vote, withdrew his amend
ment.
Voorhees moved to postpone the bill
till the second Tuesday in December.
Edmunds opposed the motion. He
said the bill did not affect the property
at all until after the supreme court
should dispose of everybody's rights,
public and private.
Voorhees s motion was not agreed to
—yeas, 20; nays, 25. The bill was then
passed without division. There were
some formal amendments made to it,
which will require a conference.
Morrill moved to proceed to considera
tion of the senate bill to establish an ed
ucational fund, and apply the proceeds
of public lands and the receipts trorn cer
tain land grant railroad companies, to a
more complete endowment and support
of colleges for the advancement of sci
ence and industrial education.
After some objection it was taken up,
but soon went over without action.
Edmunds offered an amendment to
the sundry civil bill to pay to the widow
of Chief Justice Waite #8,750, equal to
the balance of his salary for one year,
and appropriating $2,500 for a tablet in
the interior of the Washington monu
ment, stating briefly the history of the
structure. Referred.
The senate bill authorizing the city of
Albany. Oregon, to construct a bridge
across the Willamette river was passed.
Ater executive session the senate ad
journed.
MISAPPREHENDED.
What Mr. Blame Did Say About the
McKinley Hill.
"Washington, June 21.—Referring to
the published stories concerning the
scene in the room of the committee on
appropriations the other day, a gentle
man who was present said tonight the
whole aflair was greatly misappre
hended. The discussion which took
place was not in relation to the general
schedules of the McKinley bill, but the
feature which Blame condemned was
that of giving a free market in the
United States to the products of the su
gar planters of the southern continent,
and not asking in return free markets
for the products of our own fanners,
where we can get them merely for the
asking. Blame Bays corn would not be
selling in Nebraska lor eighteen cents a
bushel if the markets of Latin America
were open to our products.
HEARST TO THE RESCUE.
The Senate Disposed to Knife the Sweet
Wines Rill.
San Francisco, June 21. —A telegram
was sent yesterday to Senator Hearst,
signed by Chairman West, of the execu
tive committee of the state viticultural
commission, asking whether the re
ported rejection of the sweet wine pro
visions by the senate finance committee
is final, and whether an opportunity re
mains to secure favorable action by the
senate. An answer was received this
morning, in which the senator says:
"The senate committee has stricken out
everything in the house bill relating to
sweet wines and the fortification thereof.
Will try to have it restored in the
senate."
Washington Notes.
Washington, June 21. —The president

York, alternative; and William Lind
say, Kentucky, with Patrick J. AValsh,
Georgia, alternative.
Senator Paddock today reported from
the committee on public lands, favora
bly, a substitute for the bill to restore
the irrigable lands of the United States
to settlement. The substitute repeals
so much of the act of October 12, 1888,
as reserves from entry, settlement or oc
cupation, public lands, except sites for
reservoirs, and rights of way for canals
and ditches.

San Francisco, June 21. —The falling
wall of a building in course of construc
tion on Branner street, this afternoon, j
resulted in the killing of John Killilca,
20 years of age, and the injuring of
Micheal Lynch and John Walsh. The
former escaped with slight injuries, but
the latter was injured to such an extent
that some fears are entertained for his j
recovery.
These men, with others, were em- ■
ployed on the building, the entire num
ber being seven, including Foreman
Carej'. A high wind and loose bracing
is believed to have been the cause of the '
accident. The building was being j
erected for Police Commissioner Tobin, [
and the contract was awarded to Francis
Buckley.
As soon as the crash was heard the
streets were rilled with people, report
having gone out that all of the workmen
were killed or severely injured. Will- i
ing hands soon set to work to rescue the
workmen, aud no sooner had one end of .
the wall been raised, than the prostrate !
form of Killilea was observed, lying on
the joists, his skull crushed and life ex
tinct. Lynch was jammed in between j
the joists, and the support given to the !
wall by his left shoulder prevented the
entire frame from coming on his head.
Walsh was found to be helpless and suf
fering greatly, and he was immediately j
removed to St. Mary's hospital,where he j
is being attended to. Killilea's remains
were taken care of by the coroner.
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Captain Miltimore Testifies to an Honor
able Career of Service.
Tucson, Ariz., June 21.—Captain Mil
timore testified in his own defense in
the court-martial trial today. He said ,
he had been in tiie army since 1802, and j
had been quartermaster since 1878. He j
was with Sherman in his expedition in
the rear of Vickshurs, and with Grant j
during the siege of that place, where he '
was shot through the left lung. He
joined Sherman again in his Atlanta
campaign; was twice wounded at Al- :
toona, and received two other wounds in
action, lie joined the regular army in i
18(3(3. Came to Tucson in 18(38. He !
purchased the property where he re-
Bided and sold to Mrs. Rock, who re
ceived the rent paid by the government
for offices there. He considered the
rents paid by the government for offices
in this place, reasonable.
STABBED HIS WIFE.
A Colored Coachman's Bloody Crime at
Colusa.
Colusa, Cal., June 21.—Charles Bell,
coachman and servant for J. W. Goad,
stabbed his wife in several different
places this morning, and then cut her
throat with a large pocket knife. They
had been having trouble for some time,
and Mrs. Bell bad commenced suit for
divorce. The immediate cause of the
deed is unknown. Both parties are col
ored. The doctors are trying to save her
life, but she will probably die. Bell
escaped and started on a run down the
river, but the sheriff and others started
in pursuit. Feeling against the man is
intense, and threats of lynching are in
dulged in.

Houghton has brought suit against Alex
ander Badlam, Isaac Trumbo and
Charles W. Roser. It is stated in the
complaint that all these parties formed
a syndicate to build a railroad from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles. Houghton claims
he had furnished $2,500 to commence

nished $5,000 more, which defendants in
this suit promised to pay. The syndi
cate, it is claimed, fell through, and now
Houghton asks for an accounting.
