THE WARNER SILVER BILL.
Special Dfspatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. t., May A.-When TEE
TRIBUNE went to press at an early hour this
morning the House was still in session, and
it remained in session until nearly
half-past o'clock d N. In that long interval
there was really nothing accomplished The
philosophical observer might have remarked
that the proceedings which be Witnessed we're
curious exhibition Of American. statesmaushtp.
They more nearly resembled the foolish pranks
Of school-boys. It was contest Of physical en-
du1ance, and In this contest the Republicans
won, They cu1ried their point, or at least
the Warner men failed to carry theirs. The
Republicans were determined TO have vote
upon the Ryan substitute, for some thought
that II it could be adopted the Warner bill
WOULD BE DEFEATED
The result proved that their expectations we're
not well founded, but they did succeed in Sc
curing vote upon the Ryan amendment
All through the night the purpose of Warner
was to have the previous question seconded,
which would have cut off all amendments, and
have prevented vote on the Ryan amendment,
mud brought q direct vote upon the War
ncr bill. The proceedings of the night
session were verE orderly. There was no drunk
enness apparent The rigid vigil which tho
press has lately kept at the ufght sessions nj
the House has had reprcssiVe effect upon
members disposed to be efasiye. All during
the night there we're frequent consultations, but
they we're without effect. No scheme to break
the deadlock could be devised Propositions
j looking to that end we're
RECEIVED WITH JKERs.
At half-past a. m. report from tho
Sergeant-at-Arms was received, stating that ho
had visited the residences Of twentY-etght
members aud failed to find one nem-
ber. The private reports Of the Sergeant
alarms were amusing. The doors were inTa~
riably locked, and the not-too-augnst amoassa-
dor OF the Sergeant-at-Arms was notified 10
break the door at his peril. When the report
vas received; the Republicans suggested that
the Democrats should resort to posse cout-
tatus or to the Army bill.
-Four o'clock came. The sleeping u1embars
had been dragged from their beds.
QUoRuM lad BREN SECURED.
Proceedings under the call were dispensed
with. Warner thought bis time had come, and
proposed his motion. The quorum then van
ished, Us did the Potomac mtsts before the
morning SUD that was then rising.
ATS o'clock another call was ordered, md
the doors wore closed for the third time. Hers
Frank Huzd, Of Ohio, With what Henry Waiter
son would perhaps call elusive enthusiasm, in
1errupted roll-ca1l to make personal state
ment. His effort OF intrusion was received With
loud objections from the Democrats.
He WOULD NOT BE PUT DOWN.
ue wanted the Honse to understand that y
statement he had made earlier Ia the night to
the effect that there were twenty Rard-money
Democrats who would vote against the
bill. was true statement He shook
E. rafting paper in the eyes
Of the House as II to prove It. Loud shouts of>
"Order" rose above the din OF the Speakers
maller. McMahon, Of Ohio, radtca! rse-naoney
man, said that Hurd had been making that boast
all day and ail through the night, but be could
not deliver the votes. It was then the Repub~
licans' turn to 1eer. The incident passed.
At ha1t-past 5 this morning the sergeantat-
Arms had succeeded in arrestfng few menbeEs
who we're
BROUGHT TO THR BAH.
Attempts to ad iourn were made and failed
Hurd again, In another outbu1st Of ctfustve Gu
thusasn, wanted to show that be could deliver
his twenty hard-mon Democrats, something
which later in the day, when the roll uaa called
he was not able to do.
At half-past o'clock this morning Deputy
Scrgeaut-at Arms brought IN the body Of young
Anson McCook. Of Ne" York, the dashing
Federal soldier. That ras Ver7 live, active,
and protesting body. Blackburn vas IN tho
chair. McCook
