House..

The House at | LAS entered upon the fourth
iav of the contest over the direct tax bill
An effort at a compromise having failed after
some debate, the usual iiilibustering motions
were again submitted and the round of roll
calls began.
The situation at 2 As 7. NJ. remained un-
changed, and there was no present prospects
of a breaking of the deadlock. Both sides
are doggedly determined to keep up the fight.
and il is threatened that the House will be
kept in continuous session without any re-
cesses being taken until the question set
tlec, either by compromise or by one party
Internationally surrendering its position.
There is some discussion as to what effect
the prcsen, action of the House, in consum-
ing time in repeated roll calls, will have up
on the consideration of the tariff bill and
there is some apprt hen,ion felt by some gen.
tlemen, that. it these dilatory tactics are con-
tlnued for few DAYS longer, the necessary
consideration of the appropriation bills will
delay until a later day than now fixed, the
discussion of the Mills bill.
Roll call followed roll call until o'clock,
when the absence of quorum was developed
and the call of the House was ordered. The
over worked reading clerks were then given
a mucn needed rest, while the sergeaut-at-
arms started in quest of the absentees. The
frst victims were Messrs. White of New
York, Mansur of Missouri and Ermentrout
of Pennsy lvania, who gave reasonable and
salts sfactory excuses, but were badly guyed
by their colleagues, much to the amusement
of the galleries. Messrs. Seney and Foran
of Ohio, we're the next prisoners brought to
the bar, and were excused. although the
statement of the former that he had been abb
sent getting something "to eat, was received
with expressions of increduiy by the MEM
bers ho believed he had inadvertently made
use of the verb Ito eat.
At 5 80 the House took recess until II 80

ceived 3i6 as his share of the amount set
asi ie for those thrown out of work. Witness
laid before the committee a copy of the
agreement entered into December %, 1887,
between the eIecutis board of the producers
prote ctive association and the executive board
of well drillers union This contract pro-
vides that the producers association shall pay
the well drillers union the profits on q mil
lion barrels of oil and residue on another
million barrels that may remain after ad-
justing and paying the other classes of labor
injured BY the shut down movement, the
cost price of oil being 62 cents barrel No
vember l, 1857 and subject to interest, stor-
age and fire loss charge to that date.
These profits are to be distributed among the
members of the well-drillers' union who
were thrown out of employment. This oil
will be held by the producers association
and sold by them when they think proper,
but not faster than one-fourth every three
months. The association shall advance
upon the prospective profits 81 per day,
Sundays included, TO each member of the
well-drillers' union for each day the men,
Der is out of employment during the contin-
uance of this agreement. The entire oil
will b. sold before Dec. /, 1855, and the
residue profits after deducting the advances
provided for and paid TO the we'll driiiers un
ion, to be paid by them to the members enti-
tied thereto. pro rata, in proportion ~ the
time they have been out of employment at

witness said that the purpose of the shut
down was to diminish the production and
afford an opportunity to decrease the surplus
of oil. There were about % million bar
rels of oil ON hand. The bear interest was
so great that it was hard to keep the price of
oil up 1t would go down from 80 to 60

The Senate then proceeded to the consid
Grafton of the private pension bills ON the
calendar.
Ii was ordered that " hen the Senate ad-
journed today, it be till Monday.
The Senate at 2 O'Clock resumed the con-
sideration of the bill for Il bureau of animal
industry to facilitate the expectation of live
stock and their products, and to eYtirpate
contagious diseases.
After all he amendments recommended
by the committee on agriculture had been
agreed to pro fornia, 50 as to allow the com
nnttee To shape the bill as it thought best,
Mr. Hiscock made a speech in opposition to
1t. He regarded as unconstitutional the
clause authorizing the board of commission
ers TO appoint the officers. Also the right of
search conferred upon these officials. Also
the provision to pay the owners of diseased
cattle, not the real value of the property but
All amount fixed by the commissioners. He
moved that the bill be referred to the judi
ciary committee with instructions to report
on the constitutional questions involved.
Mr.. c ke moved that its further
consideration be postponed until
Thursday and that in the meantime the
bill as amended be printed. Mr.. Frye had
and read letter from Mr.. Hall c. Burleigh,
one of the most experienced cattle raisers in
Maine noting the defects in the bill and es-
pecally the lack of any provision for cases
of tuberculosis that dreaded and incurable
disease hich has caused, through infected
milk the death of $4,000 children u year in
the large cities of America, or for cases of
slanders IN horses. Mr.. Frye moved to
amend the bill by mentioning
these two diseases, and the amendments
were accepted by Mr.. Palmer, who had
charge of the bill. Mr.. Coke's motion WAS
agreed to and the bill was made the special
order for Thursday next.
The bill to provide for the admission of
the State of Dakota and for the organization
of the territory of Lincoln, was then taken

what they did in driving out the Span

saving the country the expense of pur-
chasing it--for had it not been acquired

would have been compelled TO paw a
much larger sum for Florida than it
did---tbey claim that they are entitled

of Texas received, in the possession of
