WASUIHGTOX, Feb. 7.-The House has discussed plans for financial relief three days, aud refused by deceive votes :o pass aoy one of them. When the committee of the whole at 3 30 o'clock this afternoon concluded its sessions, three propositions were report? ed to the House for its action ; the original "Springer bill (known as the administration bill) proposing the issue of $500.000,000 three per coot, fifty year gold bo?ds, as amended by the committee of the whole, the substitute proposed by Reed, authorizing the issue of two-year three per cent, certificates of indebtedness to meet deficiencies ia the revenues and bonds to cover the deficiency in the gold reserve, with an amendment proposed by Mr. Bryan, Democrat, of Nebraska, reaffirming the declaration of the Matthews resolu? tion of 1378, to the effect" that coin obligations of the government are payable in standard silver dollars at its option and the substitute of Mr. Cox, Democrat, of Tennessee, containing a rehabilitation of State banks, with an ameciimcnt proposed by Mr. Cobb, Democrat, of Alabama, expressly de? clining to confer the right to issue bonds upon the Secretary of the Treas? ury. / Mr. Bryan's amendment was reject? ed-yeas, 127 ; nays, 169-and then Mr. Reed's substitute went the came way by a vote of 109 to 187. This was nearly a party vote, the Populists and Democrats in opposition and the Republicans in favor of the substitute. The amendment proposed by Mr. Cobb to Cox's substitute was voted down viva voce end the substitute itself received but 55 votes in the affirmative to 184 in the negative. Mr. Cox's request for a yea and nay vote was not supported by a sufficient j number to secure it. By the unexpectedly largo vote of 159 noes and 97 ayes, the House on a division, refused to order tbe engross? ment acd third reading of the amended Springer bill, which announcement was received with applause. A vote by aye3 and nays ' somewhat re duced the majority of the vote, it resulting yea? 135, nays 162, present and not voting 4. Just before the vote was announced' Mr. Reed endeavored to make an expla? nation of the attitude of himself and his associates on the Republican side, but was cut off by cries of "Regular order.'* He was going to say : "I bad, with the support of all the Republicans, present? ed a proposition which the ruling pow? ers saw fit to refuse. Nevertheless I had gone farther and voted for a bill which contains things which I do not approve of, simply to enable the ma'ter to go to the Senate in hopes that something might be doue. The bill has failed. ? j uow desire to suggest that I have no i doubt this side of the House would vote for the secoud section of my substitute! or any other proposition which bad any ' practical chance of passing.** Mr. Springer, having changed his j vote for that purpose, moved to recou- j sider the vote, and that motion ou mo ClOO by Mr. Hatch (Dem.) of Missouri ; was laid ou the table, yeas 135, nays 123, which fioally disposed of the mat- 1 ter. The questiou pending wheu the I committee of the whole refused conside ration of the bill was as to whether or Dot the decision of the chairman, ruling out Mr. Bland's substitute on a point of i order, should be sustained. It was i decided in the affirmative-130 to 52. ; ID the .course of consideration of the 1 bill. Mr. Wheeler (Dem ) of Ala- i bama, moved to repeal the tax of ten per cent, on State banks circulation and it was lost by a vote of 96 to 84. An amendment proposed by Mr. Bell : (Pop ) of Colorado, providing for the pajmeut of the hoods iu gold or silver ! without discrimination against either, .was lost -106 to 74. Mr. Bland got a vote on an amend? ment requiring the Treasury notes is-! sued under the Sherman Act of 1890 to : be redeemed io accordance with section j 3 of that law. and directing the coinage j of the seignorage of the silver bullion in ; the Treascuay, and it came within five votes of being adopted-109 to 104.

From a recent report of Minister Denby it is learned that of ten Chioese recommended for honors recently four were former American students. One of them, Wo Ho, studied in the Sheffield Scientific School, New Haven, was breveted a commander, with a red but? ton of the second rank, for bravery. Tsao Kin Chioog, breveted a captain and decorated with a red button, was ;raduated at Phillips Academy Tsu ?ung Tong was graduated from a tchusetts college, and has a second button and a first lieutenant's n. Shun Soo Quai, a grad p a Connecticut academy, has auk button and a brevet of Tile Wish of a Dying Man. A Short Story of the Civil War Told by an Cid Soldier. "Here was a battle going on'' said an old soldier: "DOthing very heroic about, it. not anything very tremendous except that more or less men were get? ting kilieu aud wounded all the ?ime Patches of woods with open spaces in? tervenios, the line stretched along the edge of the woods and across the opc-n spaces. Along in front an open ?pac.1 and on the other side of that the con? federates io woods like ourselves, where there were woods, but in light earth works and rifle pits between. That was theip positioo, and we had advanced toward it as a part of some general movement, and our business was to stay there and keep the troops in front engaged. "Veteran troops, ours were, ex? cept for such recruits as were scattered among us and exceptjforla few enthusiastic men that liked to shout, using ammo Ditton sparingly and not shooting much j unless they thought they had some sort of chance of hitting something. Thoughtless sometimes about them selves, but pretty careful generally, 1 and protecting themselves as much as they coald. But even with that and with fighting slow, we managed io tue course of the day to lose a pretty good lot of men. "Here, now, was a man in my regi? ment shot through the body. He crawled away toward the rear. I don't, know why he wasn't picked up by the hospital men, but he wasn't. Just back of that part of the line where our regi? ment, was stationed was a little farm? house*. In front of this house was one ! tree: it wasn't a very big tree, and I don't remember what kind of tree it was J but I remember that two of its roots j ran away from the trunk a little above above ground for four or five feet, and between these roots was a little hollow, just a little sort of a depression in the ground. The front yard was, maybe, eight or ten rods back from the line; that is, it might have been that much j back to the tree. The man crawled j along siowly along until he came to j to the tree, and he crept partly into j that little depression; ? suppose it look- i ed sort of inviting; it was a place; it wasn't jost oat-dcors, but was a sort of place by itself, and the tree gave it a kind of companionship, too. He crept partly into the little hollow and theo j stopped aod raised himself up so that j he was half sitting up, propped up on on one arm and band, and be sat up in that way and looked at the brigade commander, who was standing in the yard. The brigade commander had been the colonel of the wounded man's regiment, and he knew every man in it; he knew this man, and, of course, every mao in the regiment knew the colo- j nel-the general, be was now-and from knowing him so long and so well the men had all cometo rely on bim! and look to him j "Red was creeping out. around the ! wounded man now, and staining the ; little hollow as he sat there, propped up on his arm looking at the general. There was a sort of wistful look on his, : face, as though he thought the general could help hin?, and the general looked down on him very soberly; in fact, with a very great pity. Just a few feet away, more or less, men were being killed and wounded all the time, but that was going on io au orderly, busi? ness fashion. This man was just dying just simply dying by himself, and you cou4d see his life fade as you looked at him, and you could see the red stain spreading in the little hollow, and making scallops here aud there, where ; it ran up into little shallow gulfs and bays, making off from the main depres? sion. "He was getting weaker, aud weak? er, and was going fast, but ali the time looking up at the general with that look on bis face. " 'If I could only have one more shot !' be said You see, be wasn't thinking of home or friends He was thinking of ti>e battle; his last wish was for one more shot; and a second later he collapsed and fell dead."-N.
