WAsHINaToS, Jan. %.
The house was still iilibustering at Z
o'clock this morning, having continued in
session all night At one time Speaker
Blaine called MIR. Cessna to the chair. The
Democrats took advantage of this. and wor-
ried Cessna with points of order and par
lamentary questions until Mr.. Blaine
was compelled to resume the chair
and extricate The house from the noise and
difficulty into which it had driftcd. Good
feeling prevailed among the members, and
all laughed heartily when Butler and Ran
dali were appointed by the speaker to count
the house. Both sides were unusually
vigllant all day. republicans hoping to
catch democrats short of the required num-
Der on some Of the votes, and democrats
fearing that some ingenious parliamentary
trap might be sprung to their discontinue.
The proceedings were cniivened for few
minutes by a proposition to have the last
democratic national platform read. Cessna
Of Pennsylvania was in the chair, and the
house for short time got from under his
control The proposition was received
with shouts OF "rcad I" ''read !" and 81 OBJ
ject," amid peals of laughter. Finally the
calling of the roll began, and the house
fell into its usual order.
RusISEss BLOCKED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90.
At noon the situation in the house re-
manned unchanged. Roll calls are proceed
ing and the body has a sleepy look. The
republicans express their determination to
hold out until Monday, when the rules may
be suspended. They hope, however, that
before that time the thirteen refractory re-
publican members will come into the
measure. The house has not been without
quorum since the contest began. The
democrats can spare about one-half their
number for rest.
TIE LJNt SESSlpN.
The House remains in statu quo. The
voices of half dozen reading clerks were
used up by continuous strain, and several
substitutes had to be introduced during the
night and morning. Intercourse between
the members of the two opposite camps
continued TO be free and friendly, but there
was no attempt on either side to come to
any understanding. At thi moment the
floor of the chamber is strewn with torn
and crumpled pieces of paper and is really
in need OF wholesome cleaning up. The
atmosphere of the hall is equally in need of
purifying process. AS rule the men,
bers show no symptoms of tagging.
The roll call which is now in process, is
somewhere about the fortleth that has been
had since the dead lock commenced. Yes
terday 100 members voted on the last call.
Mr.. McCrary of Iowa asked the unani-
nous consent at five minutes before IL
o'clock to offer resolution to amend the
rules.
