Much fruitless skirmishing over the measure 

 followed, and it was not until after midnight 

 that the House adjourned, without having taken 

 any final action. The above list shows that 67 

 Republicans and 81 Democrats voted against 

 the bill, and 11 Republicans, 180 Democrats, 

 and 7 members of the Farmers' Alliance voted 

 in favor of it. The subject could not be brought 

 up for consideration again, except through a re- 

 port from the Committee on Rules, setting apart 

 a day for its disposal ; and that course of pro- 

 cedure was not adopted by the Committee on 

 Rules until July 13, when Mr. Catchings, of Mis- 

 sissippi, introduced a resolution from that body 

 providing for immediate consideration of the 

 free-coinage measure passed by the Senate, and 

 continuing its discussion until finally disposed 

 of. The resolution was defeated by the follow- 

 ing vote :

And so the free-coinage question was set aside 

 for the session. 



The Pinkertons. One of the liveliest dis- 

 cussions of the session arose out of the Home- 

 stead riot. The House had passed, May 12, 1892, 

 the following resolution in regard to the Pinker- 

 ton detectives : 



Whereas, It has been alleged that a certain organ- 

 ization known as the Pinkerton Detectives has been 

 employed unlawfully and to the detriment of the 

 public by railroad corporations engaged in the trans- 

 portation of the United States mails and interstate 

 commerce : Therefore, 



Be it resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary 

 be, and it is hereby, directed to investigate the said 

 Pinkerton Detectives, to wit : The character of their 

 employment by corporations engaged in the trans- 

 portation of interstate commerce or the United States 

 mails, the number so employed, and whether such 

 employment has provoked breaches of the peace or 

 caused the destruction of property, and all the mate- 

 rial facts connected with their alleged employment, 

 and to report the same to this House'by bill or other- 

 wise at any time ; and to this end the said Committee 

 on the Judiciary is hereby authorized and empowered 

 to issue and cause to be served processes for the pro- 

 duction of papers, and to procure the attendance of 

 witnesses, to administer oaths, and to employ a clerk
