! WAsmNeroN, Dec. .23.-Mr. Maynard
desired to take from the Speakers ia,
BILE the Senate finance bill.
Mr.. Randall objected, because the
civil rights bill had the precedence.
Mr.. Maynard then asked unanimous
consent to take the finance bill from
the table.
Mr.. Beck moved to adjourn.
The question was taken by letters,
aud It was . strict party vote, the DEM
ocr.ss voting for and the Republicans
against IL. The vote was announced
- A9 to 93-no quorum voting.
Mr. Dawes called for the yeas and
nays.
/ The yeas and nays were called, and
the vote resulted yeas 81, nays l3l, be-
ing 20 more than quorum.

Maynard again asked unanimous con-
sent to proceed to the consideration of
the finance bill,
/ Mr.. Randall was about to renew his
suggestion when Mr. Dawes inter-
posed the motion to go to the business
On the Speakers table.
This being regarded on the Demos
cvatic side as an indication OF pur-
pose to force the measure in spite of
the opposition, it was met by resort
to fllisbustering motions, the first of
which was made by Mr.. Randall to
take . recess for an hour, supplement.
ed by another by Mr.. Beck to adjourn.
Mr.. Maynard made another effort to
avoid impending deadlock, and asked
the unanimous consent to have the bill
made the special order in the House
for the Sth Of January.
lThe members of both sides objected
to acting on the bill at present.
RI. Randall said on his side there
was NO objections to tho proposition
to make the bill the special order for
January 6th.
Dawes desired to take up the busi-
ness on the Speakers table and thus
resch the bill by postponing the civil
rights bill.
Mr.. Beck-A postponement would
give It chance of being coneidered,
and we are determined that il shall
not be considered before the 4th of
March. asnaa ss
Mr.. Platt hoped his party in tho
House would show rs much ba ck bono
- the Senate had shown and set out

Mr.. Cessna remarked that the Judic-
