A WEEK SPENT IN FIGHTING.
sPecia. TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, april 10 Sill another
dsy has been irltlered away in the House
over the direct tax bill. Ole week sgo
to-day the House took up the considera-
| ton of this bill without the lesst knowl-
edge on the part of any one that 1t was
| loaded to the muZzle and tnst 1t was des-
tined to bring on a hsht which would be
the talk Of the entire country. This bill is
the on growth Of the Efforts CT the Repre-
sentsttVes OF OHIO, who, while she did
not by any means pay out the largest
amount, needs it bsdly, the state treas
ury being pracncslly empty. For soy-
eral years past she has hsd 8 rep
resentztive ct Washington pushing old
war claims against the Uaied States to
successful issue. In addition to that gen.
tlena1, (Hho, by the way, lives il the
best styie) she has two other gentlemen
here now, one of whom is ex-COngrsss-
man Anderson, who was in the last Con-
gress. Should the direct tax bill go
through, 50 nesrig everyone thinks it will,
goudly amount will be taken Of the
etate'5 share
TO PAY HER AGENTS.
| Nearly all the Otaer states TO whom there
is any amount of money due under the
provisions Of this bill, are in a similar
position. It is the presence of his i'm
mense LOBBY which has given rise
to so much adverse criticism from those
opposed TO the bill. While there can be
| little question ia the MUD Of anyone in 8
position to know, yet those wild stories
| Of wholesale bribery will have an
IIACSb Va SSAlS' AO cCHt LClC
are duy accredited to their state and
make no secret Of it whatever and there Is
no reason Whv they should. The gal
laries OF the House tonight are crowded
to their utmost, the l1d1es having
TURNED our EN- MAess
to look down on the area below and view
the antics of the political pigmies flious-
tering the country's money away in
fight which cannot end in anyway that
will reflect credit on those VINO have
forced it upon the country.
r preventative Taylor OF Ohio said to-
night: 81 know Of no conference over
the desd lock ard no prospect OF its set
| tlement. The settlement of the matter
rests with the Dem cratic party. We are
united and will remsin IS we are. The
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DIVIDED.
The settlement OF the matter will depend
on the weakening Of one end or the
| other.n
Considerable anger WAS evidenced by
the members opposed 10 the bill at the
msnner in which Mr.. Hstcn declared the
m )tion to tske recess last night passed i.
The fillibusterers had come prepared to
stay all night, sill day to-day, and so on,
but Mr.. Hatch, who vas presiding, gave
NO one time to make an OBJECTION, but
declared the motion carried. Tonight,
however, the 6shters will not be caught
mapping, and an all night session is al
most cersaio.
