VOL XV. WON IN THE HOUSE. Unconditional Repeal of the Sherman Law BY THE VOTE OF 240 TO 110. All of the Ratio Amendments Badly Beaten BY ABOUT THE SAME MAJORITY. /ote in Detail, Showing- Every Member's Position. MINNESOTA ON THE RIGHT SIDE. Washington. Aug. 28.— The leaders of the house attracted the usual amount of attention as they came upon the floor this morning. Mr. Reed came in at II :20, his form towering above all his associates on the floor, and being par ticularly noticeable because of his suit of Kentucky tow and red four-in-hand scarf. Gen. Tracey and -Mr. Bland were busily engaged in conferences with their lieutenants, preparing for the de cisive count of votes. Lute Pence, the enthusiastic Populist from Colorado, earnestly assured Amos Cumurings, of New York, that the end was not yet, despite the apparent defeat of the advocates of free coinage. Bourke Cockran did not appear until after the speaker's gavel fell, but Messrs. Harter. Kayner and Tom L. Johnson, anti-silverites, buzzed and beamed with anticipations ot victory. When the speaker commanded order at 12, nearly every seat in the hall was filled, an unmistakable evidence of the general and individual interest in the matter in hand. Chaplain lladdaway prayed briefly, and in a voice inaudible at a distance of 'more than ten feet from the desk, for an especial gift ot wisdom and judgment to rightly settle the great question before the house.. After the reading of the journal, Mr. Weaver, of New York, appeared at the, bar of the house on the arrival of his colleague Gen. Tracey and was sworn in by the speaker. The resolution contained in the order of procedure in tin: .silver question was reported by the clerk, providing for a vote just on tree coin of silver at the present ratio of 10 to 1. Representative Bailey, of Texas, asked if in the event of all the amendments included in the order being defeated, it would be in order to propose an additional amend ment, germane to the subject. Speaker ft.'ri»i» replied that as at present advised, he Would answer no; that the order pro vides exhaustively all that the house may consider, but that when the time came to formally present the question the gentleman from Texas might be beard. Representative McMillin, of Tennes see, desired to offer an amendment pro viding for the free coinage of the prod uct of the silver mines of the United States, but Mr. Bland objected to even having it read, saying that such a prop osition was not free coinage at all. The announcement of the vote upon the amendment to the Wilson bill, pro viding for the coinage of silver at the ration of 16 to 1, was received with ap plause and some surprise at the major ity against free coinage, it being nearly double the largest estimate made by the anti-silver committee. Mr. Bland, from a seat at the extreme left of the speaker, smiled grimly as he. heard the result, nervously chewing and rocking to and fro on his pivot chair. The fig ' ures show that a majority of the Demo crats voted against free coinage. Mr. Bland asked a yea and nay vote on the question of free coinage at the ratio of IT to l,"and secured it. As the clerk began calling the roll, Mr. Bryan walked down the center aisle, calm and grave. around4o where the silver leader sat. They sat in consultation some time, and then Mr. Bryan, by easy stages, made his way back to his own seat. The vote on the question of free coinage at the ratio of 17 to 1 resulted: Yeas, 100; nays. 240. On this vote, besides the loss of Popu list votes, tlie members of that party Withholding Their Voles, there were several' negative votes from those who voted in favor of a ratio of Hi to 1. The slight gains made on the higher ratios were not expected by some of the leaders, ami it was the published impression of these that the. ratio of 20 to 1 would poll the largest vote in favor of free coinage. The result of the call was: Teas, 119; nays, 22:.'. With the close of the roll call the clerk announced a single pair, specify ing, with great particularity, the side on which each member would have voted if present. This is a common custom in the senate, but very unusual in the house, and indicated with what ex treme care the pairing contract was maiie. It is very uncommon to find so few members paired, and ihe roll call revealed only eight absentees who had not provided to make their votes count in the total result. With the wave of applause and jubi lation which swept over the hall as the crushing defeat of free coinage was an nounced, the whole house seenie to take a deep breath, and to lose interest in what was to follow in the next tew votes. These were on the various ra tios, but every one knew that the ratio dog was not only dead, but buried ten days ago. The first of the ratio votes were taken amid such a buzzing as fairly drowned the voice of the clerk at times, and the few members who were keeping tally on the result had to appeal to the speaker repeatedly to preserve enough aider to make hearing possible. Only the "old stagers" on the silver Bide stood out for the 17 to 1 ratio. For the most part, that faction was not go ing to fool with any ratio if it could not get the one it wanted. Man after man who had voted "aye" on the first roll call voted "no" on the second, and v many others Left the Chamber, Indifferent to the result. When it came to the IS to 1 amendment, the chorus of dissatisfaction which arose when Mr. Eaten (LJea., Mo,) insisted ou his de X T T F ¥ x\\t f j & mand for the yeas and nays showed that the house was in no temper for childish delays. It was to be noted that Mr. Bland, to whom this whole business is deadly earnest, and not mere tomfool ery, did not join in the demand, but lay back in his seat, showing as much com posure as he could command. The vote on the second ratio amend ment made a slightly better showing: for the silver men, not because of any con siderable increase in their vote, but by a falling off in the number of . their ad versaries. By the tune the third vote was called Mr. Bland had recovered his wind enough to make the demand for the yeas and nays himself, although he diet not stay in his seat long enough to see how. things, were going. The anti silver men also, who had' united the efforts to prevent further roll call, con cluded to let the thing; go and put everybody on record on every phase of. the question. Mr. Shell, of South Carolina, in favor of free silver, was paired with Mr. Graham, Democrat, opposed to it. Not nearly as much 1 interest was taken in the second vote, which was ,on the ratio of 17 to 1, The decisive vote on the 16 to 1 ratio seemed to dishearten the silver men, and in place of the at tention which was paid to the first, was substituted a-Hstlessuess. which spread throughout the hall. The vote resulted in the defeat of the amendment by a vote of yeas 100, nays 240. The Popu list members aid not vote.

'■-/, ■;■:'..: Wfnona. . v '*;;v WnroiTA, Minn., Aug. 28.— most sensational breach of promise suit has been Instituted by Lily. J. Clement, a .divorced woman of Minneapolis, form erly of this city, against Seymour W. Brown, a wealthy attorney of Winona. The plaintiff alleges that by gifts and divers actions Brown alienated her affections from her former husband, George E.Clement, and on Dec. 26, last, at Minneapolis promised to marry her. ; Her suit is for $25,000 damages. .Brown's reply to the complaint is racy in the extreme, lie admits that in 18S4, when he was twenty years old, an inti macy was formed between them, and continued until recently, lie claims to havo purchased her a house in Minne apolis and gave her the. furniture in his own residence here. In 1892, before Mrs. Clement was divorced from her husband, the latter came to Brown's residence with an attorney, he claims, and forced him, in order to avoid arrest, to give Clement $900 in cash and a note for $7,500, receiving therefor a release signed by Clement that he* would not take legal action against him for "im proper intimacy with his wife. The latter induced Brown to settle in this way, ho claims, promising that she would afterward secure and return the note. v-. ■•- -; The case will come up ; for trial at the September general term of the district court in this city, and is causing a tre mendous sensation on account of the wealth and high social standing of young Brown.

REPEAL INSURES RENEWAL OF CON FIDENCE IN ALL SECURITIES. ' THE ."TIONKY OF THE WORLD To Be Adopted by This Natien and All Depressing Influences Will Be Removed— Every Part of the Country, Alive to the Situation, Will Take Fresh Hope. Nkw Yohk, Aug. 2a— The following interviews with bankers of this city were had this afternoon regarding the repeal of the silver purchase act: Henry W. Camion, president of the Chase national bank: "The substantial majorities which have been reported in the house against a depreciated currency and in favor of. sound money are especially gratifying because they show that the good sense of the American people is asserting itself through their representatives. Tl>e people of all sections now realize that the silver law has imperiled the industries of this country. They have impressed members of congress with the belief and congressmen have worked accordingly. There is no doubt that the country may take tresh hope from the action of the house today. It means that we will adopt as a\nation the money of the world, and that all de pressing conditions and influences will speedily be removed. Not less import ant than the effect upon business at home will be the elfect abroad. This action insures a renewal of confidence in all securities." Frederick D. Tappen, president of the Galiatin National bank, said: "Congress ha« expressed itself with sufficient emphasis to let the world un derstand tins country is to l>e managed financially upon a souivd basis. It is certainly very encour aging to note that every part of the coiiQtry is alive to the situation, and that nothing short of absolute and un conditional repeal will be really satisfac tory. 1 look for such action speedily, I think, as a result of what the house lias already done." Brayton lyes, president of tlio West ern National bank, said: "It looks now as if Rood news would accumulate rapidly. Wo are vetting from the house better results than had been anticipated. 1 think we may hope for better results than have been antici pated from the senate. Wise legislation wilt restore confidence to our indus tries." : EXGL»ANI> PEjUASED With the Repeal of the Sherman Law. Loxdon, Aug. 29.— A1l the morning papers comment editorially upon the action of the United States house of/ representatives yesterday in passing the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver bill. The Morning Post says that the divi sion in the house on the question of re peal proves that the greatest change has occurred in American opinion on the silver qunslion, and that the Demo cratic party is practically united for the repeal of the purchase clause. How welcome this chauga will be to business men on this side of the At lantic, the recent action of the Bank of England shows. The Daily News regards the vote as a.; serious blow for bimetallism dispersed, throughout the world and a great -viivf tory for common sense and a single: standard. It is curious and fortunate,. says the News, that ju^t as our cur rency mongers are preaching the need of a change the Americans have recov ered their senses. The Tlines, in the course of a long' leader on the silver vote in the house of representatives, says: "The approaching settlement of th« silver question upon the oniy sound basis will without doubt remove at leastj one of the causes of commercial de pression in the United Suites, but by no means the oniy obstacle to pros-^ perily. Fiscal blunders are unsound speculations and count for much, but it is to be hoped that with the siiver incu bus removed, the Americans will see more clearly that other measures are required to put business upon a sound basis.
