WASHINGTON. The Bland Silver Bill Rnslied tie House. fiEMHE SURPRISE TO ITS OPPONENTS. Disastrous Etfects of the Contemplated Law. A LONG LIST OF ABSENTEES.

Mr. Ewing's Bill Given Over to Debate. THE FISHERIES COMMISSION. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wawuxotoh, 6, 1B77.

PASSAGE OP THE SILVER OKNLINE gOHPBIbK-EFFECT CP THE MEASURE AS A PROSPECTS IN THE SENATE ANALYSIS OP THE VOTE. Tbs silver men made a genuine surprise to-day. IV not generally behoved that they could force a kill the House, and very few suspected the overwhelming vole It would get of 1H3 to iW. I here were nearly a hundred absentees, most of them paired. Among ihoso absent wero General Butler, (Jenml OarflsJd, almost all the Now York delegation and a great many Eastern men generally.

Tte stiver men were, of course, greatly elated-uu. reasonably so, indeed, Tor it la considered very doubG lul by the best informed men thut the bill can pass tho Senate, sod, at aDy rate, both In the Finance Cotnniltue and In the Senate, wbich la a deliberating body, thero will be enough delay to give tho hundreds ol thousands of depositors In savings hanks all over tuo country time to think whether they aro ready to agree to a swindlo wmch will rob them ol at least eight or ten por cent of tboir deposits. II this silver bill wore a law to-day tho savings banks depositors in New York aloue would suffer a lo-ft ol over twenty millions of dollars by it, snd as tbere aro savings banks In most ol tbe Slatos It remains to bo seou II tbe depositors in those institutions aro ready to welcome a huge loss which would leave every ouo of them poorer. The sirougth ol tho silver sentiment, it la evident to-day, Ilea in resentment at tho Demonetisation uct ot Probablv hall tho men who voiod lor the Bland bill to-day would moro readily have voted tor a moderate measure. What they aimed at was to please tboir constituents by a vote condemning the demonetization law.

Of this prcjuaico the wholesale silver men adroitly took advantage In tho House, where the rules allow or choking oil debate and amendments, and cramming un ill advised and cxtrcroo mousuro down Its throat. Even in tho midst of tho silver cxlenient to-day there Is good reason to believe that lucb a bill as this could not have passed ullcr debate. And 11 the senate snould send It buck amendod Into some reasonable abape 11 ia not unsafe to predict that most ol uow inluriaied silver men would gladly accept the amendments. To-day many ol tho steadiest BDd boA Informed men in the llouso wunt wtlh the current Much men as Charles Foster. General J.

D. Cox, ol Ohio, Hunton, of Virginia, Knott, Lyude, Mills and Heagan, ol Texas, Morrison and Waduell were carncu Of the men who voted again, tho bill twenty-lour are republicans and ton democrats; two aro Iron. Michigan, two trout Louisiana, ouo Irotn Missouri, one Irotn Texas (Mr. Schleicher), and ouo Irons Georgia (Mr. Stepboua).

The rcuiaindor were from Slates east ol the Alleghanles. The Secretary of the Treasury was somewhat surprised at the ote by which the bill was passed, but he ia not seriously alurtnod. believing that both the Bland bill and the F.wing bill will rail in tho Sena Exports hero say that practically silver could not be coined at the Mint rapidly enough to gratily the unlimited sliver moo, and that merely to substitute silver dollars lor the small bills would require very much longer time than tuo silver fanatics imagine. The President remarked the othor day that this Struggle aboiig silver and against resumption, lib the wotul threats of ruin winch aro used by the loflatiouista, reminded hint of a hoy who hutig by his fingers to a window sill, and cried out with all his longs lor help, and wnou taken down lound that he had all tho while been hanging with his toot two inches und a halt irom the ground. Ono of the autV-sllver tn the llouso raid to-day that these silver lunatics are like the old acre and a mule" demagogues -a the boutb, who got the votes of tho negroes on a promise thut every colored family should have lorty acres uuu a mule.

By and bv, when nobody got his share, the blacks began to turn against ihem, ai so the Western peopie Will abandon mcsu demagogues by und by, gai be. HIE K'AINO's ANTI-EESCMPTION 1 ILL. Mr. fcwing linaily surrendered at discretion to-day. He lound that be could not get out ol his "uino bole," and at last gave his bill up to debate und amcudmenC fho dineasaiuii begins to morrow, is to last live lull days, and there is a prospect that some ot the ublcsl rneu in the llouso win be heard ou tho question.

Ihe success of the silver men would probably aomcwhoi strengthen the voa? lor the Kwtng bill if it could bo takou at encc, so little members comprehend that tho two measures aro essculisJly antagonistic. But tho debute will enlighten a good many mou, and It is a queatlou whether lha bill cuii pass the Hoqhc. It ia not uulair to say tbat probably half of those who wow favor Mr. Ewmg's bill do so in honest Ignoranco ol Its moaning and effect. They have been persuaded that it will bring back good tunes; bow they do not know und cannot tell and they aro l'kely to hcsir some impressive truths in the course ol the dohiine.

A greut dual ol the present inffition zeal is lor fflrct at home, lor THE KW COMMERCIAL THE AT If WITH HI'AIN. At the Stills Department to-day ll? letter of the Hkkai.h's Madrid detsiillng su interview with the Spanish Ma Ulster lor Foreign Affairs, was read with great interwst; but it appears that Scflor Mantilla, the Spanish Minis tor here, has not so far Iivnu any notice ol tbe desire or lulcntion ol Isis govtmraoni to propose a moro liberal com mere! tl treaty. 11 ho has instrucuor.s to that effect, as would seoin to be assorted at Ma.tr id, he hat oot disclosed lireiu. MIL COS AJ.D THE FAIUH EXHIBITION. Mr.

Cox, of No York. Intends to oppose any appropriation for the Burnt ExhtbKlou, aud will speak it lis BoWA FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, WAMMMmW, Not. ft, 1877. THE riSllEBftF.S Co MM IM.HION I'll A JlACi kit OF THE PMC" hlUjlM.H AND THE EVIDENCE OF BAIRT). Professor Spencer F.

Baird, United NLites Commissioner of Fisheries, has Jusl returned to Washington Irom H.thiux, where he has been lor sumo time putt, by ol tho Hecrelary ol Ntnlo, in attendance upon the Joint Fisheries Cornnns.siosi, which sitting to dctcrmino the disputed point relative to Ihe vitlue of rights conceded by the and United. governments iu tbo tVaslnagtou Treaty 1871. Ho says the proceedings of lha corinuilssKdi lave be or quilo inlorestlnr though protracted. About llx burelred flshermiwi and others have given testinony concerning this extent of that has been tarried on by the ciiimus ui one country on the shores of the other and rice ivria, and tbe arguments ol counael are now nrogresrting. I he auction ol mo tweaty (Oder wbich tho commission is sitting does not limit the time tho uommlsilon shall occupy nor the scops of its utry, except in a way.

fx.is as Inasmuch as ItJls assertod by the government of Her Mritannic Mugosy, that the priv.iogu* accorded to the citizens of the United States uudor arttclo 11 or this treaty arc ol greator value than those uccorded by articles and 31 this treaty to Ilia subjects ller Britannic Majesty and this ussertiou is not admitted bv the government ol the United Status, it is lurtbor agreed tost a commission shall bo appoiuted to determine having regard to tho privileges accorde'd by tue Uultcd States to the subjects ol Hor Britannic Majesty, as stated lu articles ID and 31 ol this treaty tlio ainouut of uny cotnpeiisatiou which, lu their opluiou, ought to he paid to the government of Her BrlttBUic Majesty to return lor the privileges accorded to the citizens of the Lulled flutes uudor said article lb ol thia treaty, aud that any sum which tho said Commission may so award shall ho paid by tho United Stales government, lu a grosa sum within twelvo months alter auch award shall have been given. The com mission have proceeded leisurely, giving un abundance of tinio for the presentation of testimony aud arguments. Thorn has been sotno feeling in a quiet way among the counsel aud witnesses for the iespcctivo governments, but ss a rule tho arbitration has boon a good humored one, the great grievance and suurou ol iroublu among tho lishei men having been settled by tho treaty under which the trial is progressing. Tuo granting of tho right to tho Ushermcn ot each uatiou to lish and to euro their fish aud dry ttioir nets upon the shores of tho other nation seems to give more general satisfaction than the old threo mile rule, with Us attendant subjects ol dispute. 1'rofessor Batrd suys ho is entirely at a loss lor an opinion as to the probable action ol the commission, one point ts quite certain, and that is the arbitrators will experience sotno trouble in silting out tho exact statu ot allalra from tho largo volumo of contradictory parllian ovidonco before It.

Witnesses seem to bavo been chosen on account of tho character or tho evidence which it was previously ascertained thev would give, and the result will ho that botu sides will tuako strong cases boioro tuo Commission, as based upon the showing of their respective witnesses. Tue cases will be closed by the 16th ol December, and then will commence tho deliberations, which wtll end tho long disputed aud vexatious lislierics question between the two countries. TUE MEXICAN CHWM3 AWARDED to BE DISTRIBUTED IMMEDIATELY. It is probable that the first Instalment ($300,000) ol tho uuiouut awarded as dumages to American citizuus by tho Mexicun Claims Commission will he distributed somo time this weolc. The expenses ol the commission, aaionuiiog to about have bceu deducted and appropriated from this sum.

Tlioro seems to bo a diflereuco of opinion between Secretary Kvarts uhd Secretary Fish, touching the uuihorlty of the department to distribute tho award amoDg tho claimants without Congressional actioD. Mr. Fish decided tnat an act ol Congress was necessary, and a bill was consequently prepared at the Insianco of the Slute Department and introduced in tho House. It passed that body, but tho Senate failed to reach It. There are many small claimants awaiting tho payinout of tho award, to whom tho doluy thus far has been a hardship, aud tho determination of the Department to hand over the sum without further deliberation will bo highly satislaclory to this class at least.

A second instalment ol will ho duo within a short time. GENEKAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Washijigton, Nov. 6, 1877. IMrOETANT BILLS INTBODUCKD INTO THE CHINESE INDEMNITY SEVENTEENTH B.VNKItUI'T LAW.

The races at Jerome Park are announced to oome off to-day; but we suppose tbat will depend an tbo state of the weather. The American Jockey Club will moat likely postpone II it is raining at ten o'clock with no prospect of clearing weather during the alternoon. Thro? and perhaps four races will como off, but tbo great race will not take place, as the owner of Ten Broeck declines to run hiin, and I'arolo will have a walkover. St. Martin, Vera Cruz and others will run in the rullo and a half race, aud this will no a grand contest.

'Ihe mile and a quarter race and the slecpleotiase will also bo ruu. Both have good fields, and the club will add a selling ruco If they can got it up It was ruruorod last night that Ten Broeck was plated yesterday and given trial, and could not run hotter than and this state of the horse's condition decided his owner not to run the race; but the backers of the stable offered to make a race the same distance and samo amouut.of monoy for St. Martins and Vera Cruz to run against l'arole. This offer, however, was not accepted by Mr. Lorlllurd.

The result will bo a walk over lor the "great ruce" by Parole, and all tho money bet In tbo hooks that Ton Broeuk would win is lost witnoul a straggle, the betting being all play or puy.
