 Although the reported rupture between Senator Malone and Mir. Fulkerson lacks confirmation, considerable comment has been occasioned by the rumor. Both parties re- fuse to be interviewed, but friends of Fulker- son say he is dissatisfied with the non fulfill ment of the promises made and will not be bound by Mahone's orders. The same per son says Riddleberger feels the same and will l more than likely vote with the Democrats ,Lo kI, Ln Ia hn Republicans in the House claim that Fulker- son is acting in good faith in voting with | them to make quorum and that there IS no danger of his assertion now.
 J. Pendleton was nominated to-day for postmaster at Stonington, Conn.
 he Windom whiskey ring investigation committee met today and organized, issued summons for several witnesses and made every preparation to begin their work next Monday. Their meetings will be open to the ! public.
 The Democrats in the House ,seem even | more determined to persist ill flibusterlng than they did at the beginning. It had been supposed that when the Republicans obtained | a quorum of their own number some of the | Democrats would decline to continue filibus- l tering, but there is now reason to think that l there will be no division in the Democratic ranks. Thirty Democrats are enough to call 1 roll, and very many more than that number l are determined as one of their leaders said l this morning, to stand together to what he called ''the crack of doom." The kepubll- | cans will find 1t difficult to hold night ses- l sions They have too many old men, and l too many men ill feeble health, to be able to | keep quorum, if they do obtain it, for a l long period in continuous session. Night l sessions dreaded by the lnvallds, and have l been the cause of more than one death in 1 Congress- As for filibustering, the new rules E boifo 11y1IfIa ! the old ones. Mr. Garfield was member of l the committee which drafted the new rules, ! and he was then in the minority. He was ] not disposed to surrender any advantages
 which the minority could secure. The new rule
 under which the flibustering will proceed af- ter Republican quorum shall have been | secured was drafted by General Garfield
 himself and the manuscript of it is in the l custody of the clerk in Garfeld's own writ ing. There are some signs of dislntegratlon
 among the Democrats. One of these signs is
 jealousy among the rivals for party leadership
 upon the floor. There were some mutterings
 of this sort this morning which were ill sup
 pressed, and it is very evident that good l many of the conservative Democrats are
 restive at Randall's leadership. The Demo-
 cratic party leaders have divided their party
 into six reliefs, and the rsliefs have been sub
 divided into squads. Each relief is placed in
 charge of captain, and sergeants have been
 detailed to command each squad Two man.
 agers are to be constantly upon the floor
 The squads are to sleep by reliefs and the
 captains and sergeants are to have lists and
 to know where each man is sleeping Forty
 men are to be kept in the House to call the
 roll. Mir. Randall says the contest will con-
 tinue indefinitely. This is the character ot
 the legislation which the Democrats have
 provided.
