Firteen totalled Insurgents of the majority voted with the Democrats, who went on record solidly against the measure. The closing piements of the debate were replete wlt excitement and Republican enthusiasm caused by the refusal of the great majority of tbe Democrats te go on record for the Williams bill, which had been offered by Mr. Kahn of California as a substitute for the Vreeland bill. In accordance with a well laid plan of the majority leaders to ascertain where tbe Democrats stood on the proposition which, It was claimed by several, was supported by Mr. Bryan. As soon as the bill reaches the senate Mr. Aldrich will call a meeting of the committee on finance to consider It It is expected that the committee will vote unanimously to amend the house measure by striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting the provisions of the bill which was passed by the senate. It is not doubted that the senate will approve the action of the committee. The effect of this course would be to send both the Vreeland and Aldrich bills to conference.
