WEDK? SDAY, FEB. 6,1895.:
Killed in the House.
The Banking and Currency
Bill Finally Lost.
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.

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. Y.
