The Enquirer publishes a cock and
bull story to the effect that at the be-
ginning of the last session Of Congress
the democrats had plotted and ar.
ranged for the most desperate means
to obtain control of the House. The
utter absurdity of the sensational
stuff bears the odor of its own improb-
ability, but numerous Congressman
have seen cause to give importance to
the thing by denying it in toto. 1t is
a republican lie sent out by an alleged
democratic paper and if there was a
semblance of truth in it, might cut
quite figure in subsequent elections.

CURRENT THIS MonRuNG.
The deadlock in the House continued all Of to
day. Early In the session runner was current
that Speaker Keifer intended TO make an arbitrary
ruling, which would check dllbustering. It was
deemed OF enough importance to bring about q
conference OF Messrs Randall, Kenna, Blackburn,
Cox, and Carlisle. It was agreed at this confer
ence that II the Speaker made revolutionary
ruling 1t would be met by q motion to remove the
Speaker: i was found, too, that MI: Geo. D: Rob
inSon, OF Mass, aud other republicans would not
sustain the ruling which 1t was contemplated the
Speaker would make.
Later In the day an intimation OF compromise
was made from the republican side as follows: The
Mackey-O OConnor case 70 be recommttted to the
elections committee for investigation as to the
alleged forgery In the record; the democratic lead
erS, In view thereof, to pledge themselves not to
nllibuster on other election cases. TO this prOp0-

would not consider any question as to what their
action would be on other ca1ea until they were
