THE ' WILSON BILL IS PASSED Majority Agalrmt Free Coinage Great Surirle to eeu the Mot Sanguine of its Opponent!. . i Associated Press. ' ' -' i Washington, Aug. 28. The galleries of the house were crowded long.before the time for assembling,' by persons Interested In the result of the ballot ing on. the silver question, after the two-weeks debate. When the speaker rapped for order at noon, nearly ev ery seat in the hall was filled. While waiting for tho call to order, Bland freely ..admitted the claims of the'nntl fllver men of a majority of fifty were well founded and might be exceeded. Weaver of New York, appeared at the bar of the house and was sworn In. Then the clerk reported the resolution containing the order of procedure on the silver question, .providing "the vote first on the free coinage of silver at,, the ratia if 16 to 1. Then the Wilson Ixlll repealing the silver purchase clause of the Sherman act was read, and Bland offered his first amend ment for free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. It was defeated: yeas, 123, nays, 22(5, amid applause from the antl-sllVer men who did not expect so large, a ma jority. The nay vote was composed of 108 republicans and 118 democrats. There was great surprise at the ma jority against free coinage, it being nearly double the largest estimate made by the antl-sllver canumlttee. Bland from his seat at the extreme left of the speaker, smiled grimly as he heard the result. The vote on the question of free coinage at a ratio of 17 to 1, resulted as follows: yeas, 100, nays, 240. On this vote, beside the loss of the populist votes, were several negative votes, from those who voted In favor of a ratio of 16 to 1. The slight gains were made on the higher ratios were not unexpected by some of the leaders and it was the impression of some that the ratio of 20 to 1 would poll the largest vote recorded In fa vor of free coinage The result of the call was: yeas, 119, nays, 222. On the amendment of 16 to 1, 100 democrats, 13 republicans, and 11 populists voted yea. Among the republicans were Sweet of Idaho, and Doollttle and Wil son of Washington. Ellis and Hermann of Oregon, voted with the nays against tho amendment. The . Wilson repeal bill passed by a vote of 239 to 110. While the senate had under discus sion the National bank circulation . bill, the house bill repealing the purchase clause of the Sherman act was pre sented and immediately referred to the committee on finance. Voorhees stated that there would be a meeting of the finance committee tomorrow, when there would be very prompt ac tion in connection with the house bill and with the measure already reported from the finance committee. With the close of the roll call, the clerk announced every single pair, spe cifying with great particularity the side on which the member would have voted if present. This Is a common custom in the senate1, but very unusu al in the house, and it indicated with what extreme care the pairing con. tracts must have been made. It is very uncommon also, to And so few mem bers pairing, and the roll call revealed only eight absentees, who had not pro vided to make their votes count in the total result. .With a wave of applause and jubilation- which swept over the hall, as the crushing defeat of free coinage was announced, the whole house seemed to take a deep breath and lose interest in .what Was to fol low in the next few votes. Those were on various questions, but every one knew that the ratio question was dead. Man after man who had voted aye on the first roll call, voted nay on the sec ond and many others left the chamber, Indifferent to the result. When It came to the 18 to 1 amendment, the chorus of dissatisfaction which aros when Hatch of Missouri Insisted on the de mand for yeas and nays, showed that the house was in no temper for bluff or delay. Bland did not Join in the de mand. The vote n the second ratio amendment made a slightly better showing for the silver . men, not be cause of any considerable increase In the vote, but by falling off in the lum ber of its adversaries. By the time the third vota was called. Bland recovered wind enough to make a demand for the yeas aid nay himself, although he did not stay- In his seat long enough to see how things were going, and the pilver men who united in their efforts to prevent a further roll call, con cluded to let things go and put every body on record on every phase of the mixtion. - 'ANOTHER RIOT IN CHICAGO.

The quarantine station one of the finest in the South Atlantic states twenty-four hours ago, is now a ictal ruin with the exception of the doctors' rerldence. Wharves have gone; the new fumigating plant which cost the city so much money, is at the bot tom of the sea and nine vessels which were waiting there for their release to come to the city, are high and dry on the marsh, and no doubt will be total wrecks.

Particulars have been received of tn adventure which the British bark Caith mere had whilst on a voyage from Pis agua to New York. After rounding ihe Horn she ran Into an iceberg, quanti ties of broken ice falling on the ves sel's deck. Captain Thompson gives tr-e following account of the affair: We :ot sail on Jaunary 2d, and rounded tho Cape on February 2Sth. As we came on the easterly side we ran Into thin mint and met a few small Icebergs. I dl'ln't worry much about the Ice. v.ocaiwe 1 had been round the Horn twenty times anil had seen lots of ..t. 'mat day a young Swede fell overboard, and though we hove to and lowered the boats, we failed to pick him up. The lee became more plentiful is we moved along and in a couple of dayj we ran across more bergs than I ever fraw'ln the Southern seas before. March 1st, we were about 300 miles iff H? Falk land Islands. At that time, with tho extra lookout and the watjh nl-tt, we crashed Into a berg at 10 o'clock ac night. The bowsprit 18 In .wo sections, composed of hollow steel, 21 inches In diameter at the' base. Tae forwiud section of the bowsprit was Just tele scoped Into the other part, and then the whole thing was Jabbed right Into th ' forward bulkhead and clean through to the nold. On dock, beams were brokin and the timbers were ripped up. The tee was broken uwny with tile force of the collision, and it came tumbling down on the forward deck In massive chunks until It wus plied high above the bulwarks and the vessel looked as If he was :t turtle back. The deck slopes buck a good deal toward the stern and pieces of Ice rolled down off the heaps and Mid right along the alleys on the porr and starboard sides until they struck the stern rail and careened over into t''o water. The sailors who were nslefp in the deckhouse grabbed tneir clothes and seaboots, and rushed out. One of them, known only, as Dutch Albert, was struck by one of these pieces of ice. The wind coming .troiinj the berg formed a sort of eddy, and drove us against U a second time, but the infs.'.j pact then was light, and we Buffered'' no Injury. We sheered off a bit with tlm tV rebound, and had a chance to size uX the berg. It was easily three times . higher than the truck of our mal j mnat. That would leave It about eighty hundred feet above the water. As sooty , as we got clear, I had soundings madb' and the pumps examined; we mndo up,,; water, though some of our plates werVv; sprained. Our collision bulkheads held I out In great shape. We. flounueiad around In a region of icebergs for eight days. On March 9th, In the afternoon, It began to rain; I saw deliverance near, for rain in that section is usu ally followed by a southwest wind. Sure enough the wind came up, and we made Ro Janeiro on May 2Sth, and made New York, our port of destina tion, without mDshap, In July. The Cashmere .used to run to San Francisco, some years ago, being then In the Fernle Lino, and commanded by Captain Lyons. On one voyage she was chartered to can y a cargo of wheat at . five pounds a ton. Old timers remem ber how, after she was loaded and tho surveyors had been on board, the cap tain filled all his staterooms and every Fpace he could find with bags of wheat, and so made a number more of five pound notes for her owners.
