The long strug gle In the house over the Hland bill for the coinage nf the bllver seigniorage and and the vor bullion In the treasury was ended today by the passage of the bill by a vote nf 108 to 129 , a majority In favor ot the bill ol thirty-nine. The special order to bring the bill to a vote was adopted by a bare quorum Immediately aflcr Iho house convened. Tlilf broke the opposition of tha filibusters and they were unable to do anything further to place nn obstacle In the way of the bill. All the amendments offered to the measure by Its enemies were defeated. The bill an passed WAS In the nature of n nubstltule for the original text of the measure. The changes do not affect the material features of the bill , which provides fo'r the coinage of the silver solgnlorago In the treasury , the Issue of silver certificate ) thereon If need be. In the discretion of the secretary of tlio treasury. In advance of the coinage , and thereafter the colnago of the remainder of the bullion as fast na practicable and the Issue of silver certlfiates thereon , to take Iho " * f 'p'laco of Iho treasury notes Issued under the Sherman net , which are to be retired and canceled as rapidly as the coinage takes place. The chances In the substitute simply make specific Ihe fact that the Hclgnlorago < is to be coined and that this bill shall not laffcct the redemption of the treasury noted under existing law. An analysis of the vote by which the bill passed shows that 1-11 democrats , nineteen republicans and eight populists , ( total 1CS ) voted for It and seventy-nine republicans and fifty democrats ( total 129) ) voted against It. The bill for the rescue of the armament of the wrecked Kearsarge passed Just before adjournment. The Joy-0'Nell contested election case will come up tomorrow. . VOTING 11EQAN. The voting on the Uland bill In the house began at 2:60 : p. m. The Johnson amendment providing for gold redemption of silver certificates was lost , 71 ICC. At the opening of tlio session Mr. Cnm- mlngs asked unanimous consent for the con sideration of the bill appropriating % 15,000 for reclaiming the wreck of the United States steamship Kearsarge. 'Sf&'r > Simpson wanted to know whether this vi > J a matter ot sentiment or dollars and cents. "It Is a llttlo of both , " replied Mr. Cum mlngs. "If the wreck were reclaimed by a wrecking company , the salvage would amount to as much as Is carried by this 1)111. " IIo went on to explain the purpose of the bill , Its limitation and urgency. "It slio Is rebuilt , " asked Mr. Simpson , "will she bo serviceable ? " "Undoubtedly , " replied Mr. Cummlngs. Mi. Ktlgoro ascertained that this was the bill pushed by Mr. Golssenlmlncr yesterday , made a tow observations upon members who blocked legislation by refusing to vote and who wanted lo legislate by unanimous con sent. Ho demanded the regular order. The regular order was the vote on the 3l2r ! ! jon ° f the special order to limit debate - bate off tnu elgDJorago bill to two hours , on which the quorum-hud failed to unite and the clerk called the roll.y Exactly n quorum voted and the special nrder was adopted IGti to 13. The long struggle was over and a vote upon Mr. Uland's bill was assured. Immediately upon the announcement of tlio vote , the speaker declared that In ac cordance with the provisions of the order just adopted the bill would bo open for de bate and amendment for two hours. Mr. Uland was recognized and offered a Bubstttuto for the original bill. Mr. Outhwalto offered an amendment to Btrlko out tlio second section of the substi tute. Mr. Johnson of North Dakota offered an amendment to the original bill , authoriz ing tlio secretary of the treasury to afford the silver dollars thu same rights as to redemption and to the changes not accorded subsidiary silver coinage. Mr , Strauss of Now York oltered an amendment to Iho amendment as follows : "That the secretary of the treasury bo ) nnd Is hereby authorized to Issue from tlmo to tlmo coupon and registered bonds ot the United States In denominations of $20 and multiples of that sum , payable In coin hftor five years from date , and hearing interest at n rate not to exceed S per cent per annum , payable quarterly In 'coin , and to sell and dispose of the sumo at not less , than par In coin. The proceeds of such bonds shall bo paid Into the treasury und bo held and used for the purposes now authorized by law. " RULED OUT OP ORDER. Mr. Bland made the point ot order that Mr. Strauss' amendment was not germane. The epcukor bustalncd the point of order mid ruled the amendment out of order. Mr. Cummlngs asked If tlio chair ruled that any amendment looking to an Issue of bonds would bo ruled out ot order. The chair replied that the ruling was not BO broad as that , and Mr. Cummlngs gave jiotlco that he would offer a second amend ment later. Mr. Cannon of Illinois offered as an amendment , In lieu of Mr. Strauss' amend ment , the so-cnllcd Wlndom proposition for bullion redemption at the current market rate ot silver bullion certificates , which was discussed In the Fifty-first congress. The ilrst section of the Mibstlluto U Identical with the llrst section of the original bill , except that the coinage Is to proceed as fast ns "poeslblo" Instead ol "practicable. " The substitute for the tecond section reads : "After the cnlnnRu provided for In the first Euctlon ( the tolgnioragc ) the remainder of the bullion purchased In pursunnco of tha no' nt July II , isno , shall bo coined Into legal lender standard silver dollar * us fast as possible , r.nd the coin uhull bo held fur redemption ot Iho treasury notes Is.iuel nKatn f such bullion. As fast us the bullion shall bo cot IK 0. for the redemption of caM tiotcs the nates shall not bo reissued , but Khali bo c ncle.l In nmounls equal to the coin heU derived fiom coinage herein prefer - for , nul ; silver certificates shall bo oi ) such coin In the manner now pro- fur by law ; provided that this act Bh..ll not bo construed to change the existing law relating to the legal tender character o/ jnoio of redemption of existing treasury tntcs under the act of 1890. " A sullk'lont Hum of money la appropriated I- carry Into effect the provisions of the act , U.wa . alrg ruled out ot order aii not e r- Mi. At.boit offered another amsnilmcnl to the nmcndmpiit relating la the colinro of the silver In the treasury Ur , liland took tlvx floor In support of his sulmtltutc. He explained Iho second sec tion ot the substitute. It made the coinage of the remainder of the bullion In the treas ury begin after the conlago of the seignior age and n specific proviso was added to the effect that nothing In the act shall bo deemed to change or niter the existing law as to the legal diameter or mode of redemp tion of the treasury notes. This -would wet at rest nil alarm on the point. Mr. Otilhwultc of Ohio , arguing agattiKt the second section of Iho original bill and the substitute , said Its purpose was to retllro the existing treasury notes. There was not gold enough In Iho treasury to redeem one- third of them and the enactment of the sec tion would weaken the reserve and Inevit ably lead lo an Isouo of bonds to replenish Mr. Johnson ot North Dakota , In support of an amendment offered by him , maintained that It was absolutely necessary If the de clared policy of the government to maintain all classes of our currencies at par were to bo kept In force. Not to adopt his amend ment was to dishonor the national credit. Mr. Simpson declared that to strike out the second section ot Mr. Johnson' * amend ment ( which would make silver dollars redeemable - deemablo In gold ) would be another great utr.'de In the direction of plutocracy. Mr. Dunn of Now Jersey denounced the attempts on the part of the several demo cratic leaders to bulldoze those of their col leagues who did not ngreo with them on this measure. Abbott of Texas explained and advocated his amendment , which ho said was designed to redeem the democratic pledges In regard to the coinage of sliver. MEANT TO REDEEM PLEDGES. Mr. C. W. Stone of Pennsylvania called at tention to the fact that tlio substitute , as drawn , gave .authority to Issue silver certifi cates In advance of coinage to the amount of $55.000,000. If you advertise thin fact to the country and the fact they are exchangeable for nothing except silver dollars , u panic will bo caused In this country. The debate was continued by Messrs. John son , Hartman. Swanson , Hunter , Newlands , Wheeler'and Traccy. Mr. Dlngley was recognized and began to speak , when Mr. flallcy called attention to the fact that the time for debate had ex pired and the voting began , Mr. Abbott's amendment to Mr. Johnson's amendment , as well as the Johnson amendment Itself , were disagreed to , the former without di vision and the latter by a % oto of C4 to 139. The vote was then taken on Mr. Outhwalto's amendment to strike out the second section of the bill and substitute , the yeas and nays being demanded upon division. The repub lican and democratic opponents voted In favor of It , as well as a number of demo crats who were counted fHondo of the meas ures. Lost by a vote of 129 to II ) . Some applause greeted the announcement. The vote was then taken on the Bland sub stitute. No attempt to break a quorum was made on this vote , and then the Dland sub stitute was adopted by n vote of 171 to 00. llefore the vote could bo taken Mr. Tracey of Now York moved lo recommit the bill without Instruction to the committee on coinage , weights and measures. Defeated by a vote of 1S2 to 07. HOW THEY VOTED. The following Is the vote In detail en the final passage of the liland seigniorage bill : Yeas McHirR. Abbott , Altkln.

Atsocm'.cd I'rcm.l HOME , March 1. Seine wcks ago Mgr. Spaldlng , In the course of an Interview with tlio Associated press correspondent , hinted that ho looked forward to the early advent of the republic In Italy. The correspondent slnco then has 'had an opportunity of gaug ing the opinions of Italian statesmen on the subject , and us n corollary to the remarks of the bishop of 1'eorlii Is able to give the views of n prominent leader of the demo cratic party In this country. During the course of a long conversation ho said : "Italy is passing through a formid able crlslt ) , expiating the traditional fatality accompanying the footsteps of any nation falling to conquer Its Independence- under the banner of democratic Institution. "Tho motive of Italian unity was a repub lican Instinct at the outset. Its first apostle was Mttzzlnl , who had no conception of the liberation of Italy npart from a republic. Until 1859 this Idea was a democratic one , springing from the Inner consciousness of the nation. At that period , however , Europe was monarchical from end to end , with the solo exception of Switzerland , and It would never have countenanced the establishment of Italian unity under a republican ticket. It was , therefore , deemed necessary either to walter _ to modify the direction of tlio Im petuous current which was evidently making for national unity. Those who were eager for the fray decided that the movement should bo conducted under the flair of the house of Savoy. "From that day forward Italy was doomed to become the foe of Franco as soon as the latter transformed herself Into a republic. "U was In France , though , that Italy found a ready market for most of her agri cultural produce for wlno , oil , silk , cattle and fruits , and the men who were devoted to the Italian monarchy felt that this close community of commercial and econo-iiic In terests constituted such a bond between the two nations as to present n formidable obstacle. They therefore resolved to de nounce the treaty which had long governed the commercial relations of Franco and Italy , No greater mistake could have been committed and to that act the Impoverish ment of Italy unquestionably dates back. "The crowning misfortune- this new and disastrous economic policy was that It was inaugurated at the very moment that Italy was obliged to prodigiously develop her armaments and to run In debt In order to keep her engagements with the allied em pires. "Since the establishment of the Triple alliance Italian public debt has gone up by 4,500,000 lire , while the average Imports and exports have suffered an unusual decline of 400,000,000 of lire. "In the press the possibility of a change In the form of government has been cur rently discussed for some time past. Even the abdication of the king has been spoken of. Tlicfce facts show that great events may bo shaping themselves and it is curious to note that the Catholic journals show no uneasiness In" accepting the Idea of a pos sible event of the republic. The attitude of these organs is , moreover , consonant with the utterances of Leo XIII. , who aspires tea a reconciliation of the papacy with the re- bubllcan spirit , of which It has too long been the adversary. "Ilut something Instinctive also underlie ? the tone of the Catholic press. The dynastic idea is not an Italian one ; for In the history of the peninsula two great Ideas have predominated - dominated , viz : Democracy and religion. The monarchy has been nothing but an ac cident , an expedient which Italy was com pelled to accept In order to make her unity possible. A republic would ensure two great currents of Italian llfo to Jlow Into 0110 channel. Hence , no doubt , why the Catholic journals arc authorized to refer In all com placency to the possible triumph , sooner or later , of democratic aspirations In Italy. The phenomenon Is worthy of being hero noted and recorded. " ItUSSO-Gr.KMAN TUKATV. It IVaH Agiiln tlio Subject Yesterday of Dis cussion In tlio HclelutaK- BERLIN , March 1. Tha discussion on the llussoiG6rman treaty of commerce was continued today In the Heichstag , Ilerr Hartman , a member of the south German people's party , declared their sympathies were with the treaty. Herr Kanltz , conservative , opposed the Russian concessions. Darou Masechall von Blcrberstcln , secre tary of state for foreign affairs , said the main consideration In Influencing the fram ing of the customs policy of 1S78 was the conviction that duties on articles of con sumption imported from Russia must event ually lead to better commercial relations with Russia. Prince Hlsmarck , according to the speaker , stated tljjs plainly , and the success of his policy had shown the path chosen was the right one. Ur. Mlqucl , the minister of finance , said the government recognized the distressed condition of husbandry , especially In the eastern provinces , and the Prussian govern ment was convinced that during the next few years It would have to dovlso Bonio effectual assistance for husbandry. Never theless , the 1'ruBsian government assented to the treaty , as It ( irmly believed It Impos sible for Germany to rontlnuo treating ono great neighbor different to others. The Im perial government had obtained concessions which would Indirectly benefit It.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Gladstone1 ! ) secretary Informed the Associated press that the resignation of the premier cannot long bo delayed. .Mr. Lyttlcton Raid that nt the audicnca which Mr. Glndstono had at Buckingham palace yesterday with -the queen , ho referred td the Increasing difficulties which ho ex perienced owing to his falling eyesight , deaf ness and age , and told her majesty that ho could not long continue to bear the re sponsibilities , of the premiership. Mr. Gladstone reached the House of Com mons nt 3:30 : today and was loudly cheered. The premier took his accustomed scat be tween Sir William Harcourt , chancellor of the exchequer , and Mr. John Morley , chief secretary for Ireland. As soon as Mr. Gladstone was able to do so ho entered Into a whispered consultation with Sir Wil liam Ilarcourt and seemed to bo very much In earnest In regard to the subject of their conversation. Mr. Gladstone frequently con sulted a small document which was handed to him by the chancellor of the exchequer. The premier adjusted his pince-nez and seemed to read the paper handed to him without any difficulty. In the meantime Lord Roscbery , the sec retary of state for foreign affairs , took a front seat In the peers' gallery , The entrance - trance of Lord Roscbery attracted much at tention and caused considerable comment. Rt. Hon. Arthur Welleslcy Peel put the question that the House of Lords' amend ment to the local government bill bo con sidered. Mr. Gladstone then arose and addressed the House , speaking In a full , resonant voice , which was occasionally marred by a slight huskiness. Mr. Gladstone spoke throughout with marvelous energy and vigor. During the course of his speech , the pre mier said that the government felt this operation of Bending and resendlng a bill from ono house to another had continued long enough. ( Loud and prolonged cheer ing , and much laughter ) . \Vhen Mr. Gladstone was again able to resume speaking , ho said : "To continue the process would bo loss of dignity to both houses , and the government has decided to stop the operation and take a decided course. The government had the choice of reject ing the House of Lords' amendments , and abandoning hope of passing the bill or to accept them under protest with the hope of reversing them. The government adopted the second course. " ( Cheering ) . Mr. Gladstone then reviewed the action of the Hourfo of Lords In the past and said : " \\'e have now reached an acute stage. It appears that the House of Lords desires to annihilate the whole work of the Home of Conunoqs. , . In regard to the present bill , the government desires to save something from the wreck and therefore accepted the amendments , but with the declaration that the differences between the houses Is not of a casual or temporary nature. Tills state of things , I am compelled to say , cannot continue. ( Loud and prolonged cheers. ) The Issue raised between the assembly elected * by the voice of the people and the assembly occupied by many men of virtue and talents are of considerable variety. ( Lauchtor. ) When once raised they must go on to the Issue. ( Cheers. ) "No doubt there is a higher authority than the House of Commons , namely , the author ity of the nation ( Loud cheers ) , which must In last resort decide. ( Renewed cheers and loud opposition cheers of "At once. " ) When the judgment is to be Invited Is a question which the government alone can decide. " At the conclusion of Mr. Gladstone's re marks he asked the house to accept the Housa of Lords amendment to tlio bill. Rt. Hon. A. J.1 Balfour , leader of the conservatives In the IIouso of Commons , who was received with loud cheers , then arose to reply to Mr. Gladstone and said , among other things , that the premier's speech was a declaration of war against tlio ancient constitution of the realm. He asked why the government did not start the agita tion against the House of Lords when the latter rejected the homo rule bill. That bill , according to Mr. Ualfour , convinced the country that legislation must be controlled by a chamber which would not betray them. Later on Mr. Balfour remarked that those who believed In the ancient constitution looked forward without dismay to the light which the government announced. They would not be perturbed by obscure threats , as they firmly believed that the nation was convinced that tlio lords , far from abusing .heir trust , vindicated their claim to the con- Idenco of the country. The opposition , ac cording to the speaker , wished to ECO noth ing better than the government attempting .o stir up the country upon , an Issue which would really scttlo the homo rule question. Lord Randolph Churchill said the dcclara- .lon of war was made upon the spur of the moment and was founded upon n Blender jasls. The Lords were unanimous In regard : o the parish councils bill amendment. Mr. jlatlstotie'K denunciation of the whole house and the proclamation of u long and pro- : racted agitation throughout the country for the abolition of the Lords was absurd. Thcro was not any justification for holding up the Lords to the execration of the people , and : hcro was no more fatal scheme for any iarty to advance than the destruction of the House of Lords. Mr. Samuel Story , a member of Parliament for Suudcrland , radical , regretted that the government had accepted the amendments , iceautio , ho added , the Lords would not have ventured to Insist upon them. Ho also ex- rircsscd the hope that Mr. Gladstone was In earnest In his declaration in regard to the Lords , UH , according to the speaker , ho would lave plenty of mun behind htm In the coun try. try.When When Mr. Dalfpur had finished speaking the radicals called for a division on the question of agreeing to thn amendments with the following results : Fur agreeing , 263 ; against agreeing , 37 ; majority for agreeing , 236. The other amendments were then agreed to without u decision and the liouea adjourned. There was a state of feverish unrest In all sections of the House of Commons when Mr. Gladstone urrlvcd. The premier entered hur riedly , clutching a coat tall In either hand. As the cheers which erected him died away \\r. \ \ Gladstone's expression became wistful ind abstracted. The strain on the rest of ho ministers was also apparent , and during > Ir. Glailstonu'N speech the greatest cxclto- mcnt prevailed throughout the Hoiibu. It wan whispered on all sides that the great tbertil leader was making his last speech to ho Commons and his delayed attack upon ho Lords di'llghled the radicals it ml Irish , Mr. T. P. O'Connor , commenting upon Mr. Gladstone's cpeech , said : "Thn old man made a grand attack on the Lords , " During the course of the day's scsHlon of ho House of Commons the chancellor of the exchequer , Sir William Vernon Harcourt. an nounced that the guvernment had no In- ormallon which would lead It to believe that any government desired a reassembling of ho monetary conference. The British gov ernment , he added , did not Intend to make such n proposal , as It saw no advantage In It. The Pall Mull Gazette announced In big ypo that It was definitely nettled that Mr. QladKtonu would have an audience with the lucen on Saturday next ami that holll hen ullldully tender hit ) resignation.

Mr. O'Connor then points out the fact that though the queen sent for Loril Roscbery , the conflict for the premiership It not settled. "Tho queen , " Mr. O'Connor continues "however , has no doubt a right to send fet whom she pleases , but Lord Roscbery may fall In the task. If , however , Lord Rose- bery's present colleague : ) consent to act wltli him the question of the premiership may be regarded as settled. " Mr. O'Connor adds : In conclusion the distinguished Irish leader says : "Much op position to Lord Roscbory comes from the suspicion that on foreign affairs ho repre sents jingoism , Instead of radicalism. This dlfllculty may be removed by his transfer from the Foreign ofileo anil Mr. John Morley or the carl of Klmhorley may succeed him there. Rt. Hon.
