WASHINGTON, Feb, 26.-It is re
ported that Just before adjournment
of the caucus a resolution was adop-
ted by 81 against % providing for
recess of the House from
Monday until Tuesday. Prior to the
of this resolution a
of the members of the eau
Gus had left the hall, saying they
would not abide by the action which
provided for a recess from to-mor-
row until Tuesday next.
An extra session of Congress ap-
pears now to be almost inevitable.
Even if the extremists in the House,
wholly refrain from open filibuster-
ing they will undoubtedly raise OBJ
iections to immediate count of the
votes of Rhode Island, Vermont
and Wisconsin on the ground of the
alleged ineligibility of certain cleo
tors, and the delays thus caused,
together with the time consumed by
necessary reference to the commiss-
ion of the South Carolina double
retarns, will prevent a completion
of the count before Thursday after
noon also, unless the usual duration
of arguments be abrogated, which
is not probable. Aside from the
appropriations bill in conference,
the civil bill, which is full of con-
troverted points, is still pending in
the House, and the river and harbor
and army appropriations bills have
net yet been considered by either
branch of Congress. The latter is
especially likely to be subject OF
serious conflict, and general belief
prevails that it will certainly be left
hanging on disagreements at the
close of the session. OF course the
failure of any regular annual appro-
priation bills would necessitate a
session of Congress, which would
be called probably for an early date
in April A special session of the
Senate is expected to be convened
on the 9Th of March.
LONDON, Feb. 26.-The various
accounts of the O'Mahoney demon
stration yesterday in the London
papers concur in stating that it fell
very far short of the expectations Of
the promoters. The most liberal
estimate of the number who tooh
part in the procession is 5000 al
though government accounts place
it ut 1900. Spectators were numer
