WASHINGTON, April IS-The features O
the proceedings in the Senate yesterda
were the speeches of Mr. Coke on the Pres
idents tariff message and Mr.. Turpie on tn
admission of Dakota
At the conclusion of the morning busi
ness and after the passage OF several bridg
bills, Mr.. Coke took the fioor for "a speecl
on the President m.-ssge. He began b,
speaking of the surplus OF $40. 600, OOO in tn,
treasury, and said tnat the cause which tool
that money neeiiessIy from the pockets O
the people and tbs channels of trade IT.
the enfeeblenent of every brancl
| OF industry were continuing, ant
produced more aggravated result,
each successive year. 1t was easy TO See
that unless the causes were removed OF
greatly modified it was only question Of
time when q calamity (fsrs, y involving
all the industrial interGsn a. the country
must follow.
He continued at length nd said that
the President had voiced the sentiment OF
his party in his tariff messsgs and that
issue so raised would be the distinctive
issue OF the campaign. He would retain
the internal revenue tax as it did not, like
the tariff, bear heavily upon the people.
At the close OF Mr.. Cokes speech the Sem
ate resumed consideration of the bill to pro-
vide for the admissiol of the state of South
Dakota, and for the organization of the
Territory of North Dakots, and was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Turpie in opposition to the
bill OF the majority of the committee and
IN support OF that OF the minority to admit
Dakota as whole.
MIR. Cuilom advocated the admission of
South Dakota to tatehood and in the course
OF his remarks charged that the Democrats
had decreed that no Territories should be
admitted as states until after the Presiden-
tial election.
Mr.. Butler denied the charge and said he
would vote now to admit Dakota.
Mr.. Spooner obtained the floor to speak
In favor of the b&, but the Senate pro-
ceeded to Excel ~, business, and at $50
adjourned till morn G.
House.
When the House met at Has yssi,rIay
morning it was evident that the EspuOli-
the action of the Democratic caucus held
the previous evening, and when Mr.. Ran
dali arose in his seat with paper which
he desired to submit, Mr.. Reed, leading the
Republicans demanded the regular order.
Mr.. Randall requested the demand to be
but the Republicans would not
yield, and amid general confusion M. Cox,
OF New York, made motion to adjourn,
on which the yeas and nay, were ordered

During the roll call the confusion was so
great ut times that the reading of the
names had to be suspended while the
speaker rappea to order. The motion to
adjourn was lost by three votes the vote
being l30 TO 133
The scene which followed the announce
ment OF the vote resulting in q failure to
adjourn, the House WAS the most exciting
that has taken place during the long dead
ock. Naturally the Republicans expected
defeat afler the caucus action of last night
md the refusal of the House TO adjourn
was great surprise. As one man. l32 Re-
publicans began to applaud, while their
roars OF laughter, intermingied with yells,
'sng out into corridors like storm.
When order had been restored Mr.. Nc
Hillen demanded call of the House, but
before the question could be put the noise

While dozen or more members were

ank back into his seat amid q general
augh Of. triumph from the Republicans.
1t was scene fit for bedlan. There was

est, and once more the House resounded
nth peals of merriment.
The motion for = call of the House was
oted down by the Democrats and Repub-
cans alike, and now that some business
ad intervened since the motion to adjourn
ad sbeed made. Mr.. Case, of New York,
enewed the motion to adjourn, and with
ut division the motion prevailed by vote
( 14S to 1877.
When the vote was announced both sides
egan an almost deafening applause Mem
e-s rose and hurled documents, letters
nd scraps of paper in the air and screamed
18th delight. The Republicans seemed to
njoy the occasion quite as much as the
ictors and amid the noise which prevailed,
urled good-natured taunts at their oppo-
ents across the hall.
The Speakers declaration that the House
,ood adjourned until u o'clock to-day
ould not be heard twenty feet distant.
''The old familiar YELL" suggested Mr..
outelle.
Members fingered on the floor discussing
Kper;ences of the past week and the out

It in blank amazement Altogether the
,ssion of one hour and ten minutes was
,e most animated for years, and will be
,ferred to as the elimination of q histori-
Il deadlock.
The friends of the Direct Tax bill are
sod deal disappointed at the turn affairs
ave taken and regard action on the meas :

amber, but they say they are well satisfied I
it'll the record they have made and be-
eve the country will sustain their action.
MIR. Oates, who led the filibusters. is be-
lg congratulated upon his mastery fight.
e says the question is settled until Con- /
-ess reassembles next winter, but that !
iere is no disposition to fight final vote
lrther at that time. He will not say
hat he thinks the final result will be when
