Washington, Jan. 7. -By a vote of 81 to 59 the democratic house caueue voted today to indorse the Carlisle substitutt• energiser- WS. Speaker Crisp took the lead In pre- senting the resolution and vigorously urged the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring in a rule tomorrow to close the debate. r.fforts to amend Ci l lep'e reso- lution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only 13 members of the caucus favorable to the issue of bonds to retire greenbacks. The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprehension by the friends of the bill, notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of endorse- ment. The 81 votes which the amendment commanded in the caucus is fir short of the number necessary to pans it in the house.
