Is Defeated De-feated t 1 I Washington April 4As soon as the House met today the Republicans used their filibustering tactics to prevent pre-vent the unseating of Mr Hilborn and forced the ayes and noes upon the demand de-mand of the previous question The Democrats failed to secure a quorum on the demand for the previous pre-vious question on the approval of the journal and to avoid the tedious complications com-plications involved in the call of the house Mr Springer moved to adjourn with the understanding that the Democrats Dem-ocrats would vote down the motion One hundred and eightyfive Democrats Demo-crats voted down the motion to adjourn ad-journ and thereupon Mr Springer made the point of ordera quorum having appeared on the demand for the previous question on the approval of the journal it was an intervening motion under the terms of the order under which the House was operating The speaker sustained the point of older and refused to entertain an appeal ap-peal from his decision He stated the question to be on the latter half of the substitute resolution declaring Mr English not elected and not entitled to his seat This half of the resolution was disagreed to12 to 167 Heed Grovtins Rampant Mr Reed demanded a division of the majority resolution and the next vote was taken on the resolution That Hilborn is not entitled to a seat Adopted170 to 13 The motion to seat Mr English was adopted165 to 17 Upon the announcement there was a burst of applause from the Democratic Demo-cratic side which was renewed when Mr English was escorted to the bar of the House and sworn in Those who voted against seating English were Bartlett New York Breckinridge Arkansas Coumbs New York Crawford North Carolina Everett Ev-erett Massachusetts Hall Minnesota Harris Kansas Harter

previous question on the approval approv-al of the journal was ordered179 to nothing The journal was approved 181 to nothing Mr Bland then called up the seig niorage bill returned by the president without his approval and moved that it pass the objections of the executive to the contrary notwithstanding Mr Tracey New York raised the question of consideration against I and Mr Bailey made the point of order that the constitution required the consttuton consideration con-sideration of a bill returned with a veto and that the question of consideration consid-eration therefore should not be raised against it The speaker sustained the point of order Mr Bland stated that on Saturday at 3 oclock he would demand the previous pre-vious question I From all quarters of the Democratic side there seemed to be a general desire de-sire to avoid the conflict of opinion in debate and Mr Traceys suggestion of three days debate was met with a i I chorus of vote vote I Most RemarUuhlc Scene I Then followed one of the most remarkable re-markable scenes witnessed in the House in years The Republicans were eu chered out of their chance of seeing the I dissensions in the Democratic ranks thoroughly aired I Mr Tracey who was standing in aside a-side aisle said that as far as the Democrats I Dem-ocrats of the minority of the coinage I committee were concerned they were willing to take a vote immediately This statement was received with L shouts of approval from the Democratic side sideMr Mr Tracey went on to say however that he had not conferred with the Republicans Re-publicans of the committee and suggested sug-gested that he would like to have the opinion of Mr C W Stone of Pennsylvania Penn-sylvania who made the minority report re-port against the bill Mr Stone replied after conferring a moment with those about him on the Republican side that the debate in the House when the seigniorage bill was passed had been so limited that he was unwilling to enter into any agreement agree-ment to close the debate at this time When he ceased speaking there was a great confusion on the floor Members on both sides were conferring confer-ring in groups The speaker with uplifted gavel surveyed the House for a moment Mr Bland expressed a willingness to have the vote taken immediately Mr Reed Mr Dingley Mr Burrows and Mr Stone were in earnest consultation con-sultation to the left of thf cmonkor rostrum As it subsequently appeared they agreed that Mr Dingley should make the opening argument for his side Meantime no one addressed the chair and the speaker stated the question ques-tion to be on the motion to pass the bill the presidents veto notwithstanding On this said he looking down upon up-on the confusion on the floor the constitution con-stitution requires that the vote shall be taken by yeas and nays He hesitated Still everyone on the floor engrossed with the programme in the coming debate heeded him not All those in favor will answer aye he continued Contrary no Again he paused but no one addressing ad-dressing he added with a bang of the gavel The clerk will call the roll Caught in a Corner Mr Allen began the clerk There was a gasp of astonishment on the Republican side as they awakened to find the roll call had begun be-gun The Democrats who were anxious to see the debate suppressed were overjoyed over-joyed Amid a great uproar a dozen Republicans Re-publicans jumped to their feet and clamored for recognition They saw the coveted opportunity of exposing to the public gaze the dissensions in the camp of the enemy slipped from them They fought hard The confusion wa B t S J so great the clerk got no further than tne first name Too late shouted the Democrats as Mr Reed tried to make himself heard At last by hard pounamg u semblance of quiet was restored Mr Speaker said Mr Reed my colleague Mr Dingley was ready t address the House upon this question before the roll call began The gentleman Mr Dingley made no such statement until after tne name on the roll had been called Ine reason he dm not said Mr Reed was because the gentleman tom Missouri Mr Bland was entitled to the floor and I i submit to tne speaker speak-er and the House this is notable because be-cause my colleague was ready to address ad-dress the chair and If he did not do so It was because in tne contusion the first name on tne roll was called before an opportunity was aitoraed to the House vas to know wnat the situation Kegular order shouted the Democrats Dem-ocrats ocratshe The discussion that was going on continued JMr Reed was in rererence to an arrangement for time of debate ana betore anybody had an opportunity to unaerstana what the situation was tne nrst name was cahed iteeti icapped unee More The House understands the circumstances circum-stances responded the speaker Tao gentleman irom Missouri Mr Blanc was recognized wnereupoii some suggestion sug-gestion was made as to ail agreement uetween that gentleman from sew YorK Mr iraceyj wno called upon the gentleman irom Pennsylvania Mr atone There was a general call throughout the House of Vote vote whereupon tne agreement failing the gentleman from Missouri Mr Bland stated he was willing to have the vote taken now and no gentleman arose to address the chair A dozen of the Republicans protested protest-ed but the speaker disregarded them and continued The chair stated the question and stated that under the constitution the yeas and nays must be entered upon the journal Still no gentleman arose to address the chair The chair then directed the clerk to call the roll and the first name was called and then for the first time the chair had an intima ton that the gentleman from Maine Mr Dingley desired to address the House The explanation of the speaker was not satisfactory The Republicans led by Mr Reed were appealing for the recognition amid shouts of regular order from the intense Democratic side The excitement was I want the speaker to understand this matter said Mr Reed finally The speaker does understand retorted re-torted the speaker sharply cutting off Mr Reed And the speaker directs the clerk to resume the roll call A burst of Democratic applause greeted greet-ed him But protested Mr Reed The chair will not allow the roll call to be interfered with I think the speaker has not heard my colleagues statement persisted Mr Reed Sit Down Reed The gentleman will take his seat returned the speaker finally Certainly I will replied Mr Reed but he still remained standing The gentleman will take his seat continued the speaker The gentleman gentle-man will be seated Nothing wilPbe accomplished by this persistence There is no resistance Mr Speaker but butThe The gentleman will takE his seat and the clerk will call the roll Mr Reed sat down but immediately jumped to his feet again He would not surrender without protest Mr Speaker he said defiantly I ask to b6 heard The chair declines to hear the gentleman gen-tleman The clerk will call the roll Will the speaker hear a word The chair will not My colleague states The chair will not hear the wi gentleman gentle-man The clerk will call the roll The uproar was terrific at this point and above the din Mr Boutelle shouted shout-ed I shall decline to cast my vote in such a condition of confusion a this The Motion Fails Mr Burrows attempted to address the chair while Mr Wilson of Washington Wash-ington cried Tyranny tyranny but the speaker would not listen and ordered or-dered the clerk to proceed with the roll call callOnce NOnce N-Once or twice afterwards Mr Burrows Bur-rows and Mr Reed attempted to break in but the speaker declared emphatically em-phatically he would not hear them that the roll call could not be interrupted inter-rupted The Republicans were beside themselves them-selves with anger They refused to vote on the first roll call rol cal The antisilver Democrats were in despair as the first roll call gave the silver men the necessary twothirds Finally after a consultation they agreed to vote and did vote on the second roll call This turned the tide and upon the announcement of the vote it was found the motion to pass the bill over the veto had been defeated the silver men lacking 74 for the necessary two thirds The House then at 5 oclock adjourned ad-journed The Vote In Detail Washington April 4The following is the vote by which the House refused to pass the Bland bill
