SILVER REPEAL 15 A DECISIVE BALLOT. Tha MeaaurePassed theHouse By a Vott or 103 to 64, and Boon After Waa Signed By tha President. Bllver Buyiug Stopped. The silver fight la ended. The hons 01 Wednesday at 2 53 p. m., concurred in tit senate amendment to the unconditional repeal bill and it was passed by a vote of 193 yras to Hi nay. The President signed the bill at 4 .TC o'clock. It was brought to the WhiW Hons by Representative Albert J. Pearson of Ohio, chairman of the house committee on enrolled hills. Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Gluey were present When Mr. Pearson presented the bill to tbi President, Mr. Cleveland immediately took up his pen and wrote these words in the lower left hand corner: "Approved. Novem ber 1, ISM, Grover Cleveland," and tba bill became a law. The significant feature of the final strug gle in the House was the determined pur pose on the part of a small faction of the Democratic silver men to harass ths meas ure and to obstrnct its passage, but thelt efforts were not more conspicuous than was the fact that they were not able to induce one third of their following to join in this dilatory movement. Tbe silver men, not withstanding the certainty that tba bill would pa's, were able to command votes against it on the final passage. The bill having been forced before the House in a sudden and abrupt manner, which so surprised tha silver tllibusterers that they really did not understand what had happened, an hour was, allowed for debate. This was occupied on the silver tide by Mr. Rland, of Missotirl;Mr. Bryant, and Mr. Wheeler of Alabama, and on the Democratic side by Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, and Mr. Tracey, of New York. On the Republican side Mr. Reed alone spoke. As soon ns the silver purchase repeat bill wus signed Secretary Carlisle telegraphed to all the mints not to make any further purchases of silver. Of the silver offered on Wednesday, one dealer dexllned to accept the counter offer of US. '!5 cents. Two lota aggregating 50,000 ounces had not been heard from, and tirless their owners reply by telegraph at once the silver purchase under the Sherman aci are closed fore.er. "The amount ot Sherman notes outstand ing la ll5i.Mtl,000. With silver purchasid but not yet delivered, this amount may ba increased 700,000. EFrrCTOF THE AEFEAL. II Btops tht Furonasa or Silver Except for Sudsldiary Coin. Tbe repeal of tbe purchase clause of the Sherman act, which went into ellect bv the stgnatuteot tbe President, puts a stop tu tha fuither use ot silver in the way of tticreas. ing the currency of the countic, excepting as audsiiliary coin. The iiortmii not repealed of tne Sherman law leaves it discretionary with the Secretary of tne Treasury to coin nil the silver bullion now in the Treasury. II la tha expection that all this bullion will be coined as soon as possible. Secretary Carlisle lias already given orders to begtii coining ii. The seigniorage on the bullion in slock amount to ri,).oji.iHi o and when it Is all coined, providing Congress does not au thorize an issue of certificates against this seiguioruge belore it is coined, there will b thai iiiiicii of an addition to the silver coin sue of the country. Hut It will take liveyears to coin the bullion now on hand. There is no authority of law now to pur chase any tnore bullion except for use as subsidiary coin. For that purpose thore can beau increase, of a good many million dol lars. Hut as the treasury lb now loaded down with mono.ouo or subsidiary coin, which is very much worn and needs to be recoil led. anu as the mints will be occupied in coining the bullion now on hand, it is not probable that any more silver bullion will lie pur chased for any purpose lor a good while to come.

Its csreer closed Friday after noon at a few minutes past ,'t o'clock. oalmly serenely and without the faintest struggle or excitement. As Ihe Vice President said in a neat little parting snech. its record is made up and henceforth it belongs to tha domain of history. The Nebraska Populist, Mr. Allen, threatened to defeat adjourn ment by deroandine the yeas and nays and showing that there was no quorum to transact business. However, the resolution was agreed to without the yeas aud nays and the adjournment took place. Hoi'sr The closing day of tho extraordi Tiary session was an exciting one in the House, but the only suoetanlial achieve ment was the final disposition of the bill, allowing a rebate of duty on fair exhibits acquired by the Columbian Museum.
