WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE scene" which
it was supposed would be enacted to-day by
Mr.. Curtin in declining the Craftsmanship of
the Banking and Currency Committee and
the arraignment of Speaker Carlisle failed to
materialize. 1t was the general topic Of con-
versation. At o'clock the tall form of
Curtain was seen to enter the east door, when
It was supposed the fun would begin. He
prOmenaded the lobbies and talked to many
Of the members in the most excited manner.
AL eyes were upon him. He walked to his
seat, remained but a moment, then left the
hall in the direction of the House restauT-
ant as il to refresh himself with 'cOld tea"
While out in the halls OF the building he
was corralled by Randall and Morrison, ia
ken to the Committee Room on Appropri-
ations, where the two peace-makers for the
time poured oil upon the troubled waters
and left him, supposiIg all was serene. 1t
was not long, however, until he was again
On the floor, but before he could get an OPP
Portunity Morrison moved for an adjourn
nent. Tonight wise counsel is at work
with the hope of having him change his
from the conference room that in the dull
lexicon of years there is no such thing as a
back-down, and he viii do tomorrow what
be wanted to do to-day.
