atives.
WASHINGTON, May 23i.-The House pro-
ceediDgs to-day were repetition of those OF
yesterday, without single incident to re-
two calls of the House, each disclosing the
lack If quorum en- the Republican side.
The Republican leaders say they will have
quorum in the city tomorrow, but it is
doubtful if their expectations will be real
lied. Some of the Republican Representa-.
tives have privately urged that public bust
ness be considered while waiting for quo
rum, but the leaders have refused to receive
such propositions. They say that if the ma
jority, having declared its intention to con-
slider the Mackey- Dibble case, should
allow any other business to intervene,
the absentees would feel themselves
| relieved of the necessity for immediate
attendance in Washington. and it would be
impossible to obtain quorum. Every day
since the fibustering began the Republican
Representatives in the city have been ex-
| cused for one reason and another from daily
attendance. It is asserted, however, that
these leaves of absence are only for one day,
and that as soon as quorum of Republicans
| is known to be in the city, the attendance of
those excused will be compelled. Granting of
| leaves of absence hasa demorslizing effect upon
those Republicans who entered the fight with
the purpose of remaiping in their seats until
the issue was decided. The Democrats are
| in cheerful spirits. They have been beaten
so often at the game the Republicans are now
playing that they regard TIE contest with
complacency. The Democratic leaders do
not believe the Republicans will obtain q
| quorum, nut they say if a quorum Of the
majority is secured their policy will be to
continually make motions to adjourn and to
take a recess-motions which are always in
, order-and by keeping one-third of their num-
Der in the House they can put it beyond the
power of the Republicans ever to secure &C.
ton on the case There were seventeen Re-
publican absentees to-day. Yesterday thirty
were absent.
