BosToN, April 1O-A Washington special
to the Journal says that Speaker carlisle
could end the deadlock by strike OF his
gavel, but it would require courage. Speak
er Randall did this with the filibustering at
the close of the electoral count. speaker
Keifer did the same, with the opposition OIL
Messrs. Springer and Townshend, to the tar
iff of 1888. In both cases there were enough
men in factious opposition to continue roll
calls indefinitely. The rules were the same
then as now. The electoral count might
have been prolonged then by ilibusterlng
and the constitutional term Of the 40th Con-
gress adjourned without the passage 1l a
tariff bill if the Speakers then IN the chalr
had done what Mr.. Carlisle is doing-recog-
nize indefinitely men making dllatory mo-
tions when majority was ready 10 act. put

moral courage was needed to act as ne ala,
courage which will make him remembered

The Yankees and the Moors.
Commander B. II. McCalla. commander Of
the U. 5. steamer Enterprise, has made
long report to the Secretary of the Navy In
regard to the strained relations existing
between the representative of the United
States and the Moorish government de
says the officials in Morocco seem unwilling
to recognize the projections of U. S. Consul
Lewis, ON the ground: First, that under the
conventions of 1868 and 1880, the Moorish
government has the actual right to pass up
on the characters Of and approve of persons
to whom patents of protection have been IS
sued before such protection becomes valid /;
second, that under Article 16 of the conven-
tion of 1880. the total number OF projections
which can be issued by consul OF the Unit
ed States is limited to III; third, that under
the convention of 1858, American citizens are
not entitled to appoint native brokers un-
less the former actually resides in Morocco.
Mr. Lewis denies these claims on auth0ri-
ty contained in the text of the two conyen-
tions of 1868 and 1880. He says they are
contrary to the spirit and text OF the con-
yentions, and claims that his protection
must be recognized without explanation, ex-
cept when affected by civilssuits, offences or
crimes But he has expressed Willingness,
after the projections are recognized, 70 give
any exclamation or information which can
be desired by the Moorish government and
withdraw the projections when shown that
good cause exists.
Commander McCalla then gives a detailed
statement in regard to the direct issues in
volved in each case, including summing OF
the correspondence between the consul and
the Moorish officials. In conclusion he says
the United States's interests are likely TO In
crease materially in Morocco and he believes
il would be far better IL our country should
be represented there by minister resident
instead of a consul All other powers that
are parties to the convention OF 1880, except
Sweden, which has consul general, are
so represented.

THOEBE.CARlISlE CONTEST.

The Report OF the Elections Committee
Declaring ThOebe Not Entitled to tho

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s-The report Of the
Elections Committee on the Thoebe-Cariisie
contest, made to the House by Chairman
Crisp, after recital Of the offer of the con-
;estant's counsel to prove certain allega-
tions. SAYS that as the notice OF contest
fails to specify them as grounds OF contest,
the well-established rule would be a suffi-
cient negative answer to the application.
To induce the House to order new hearing
Of the case, the contestant must show dill
gence in the use Of the time allowed him by
statute, but IN this case he took testimony on
only seven Of the fifty days allowed HIM,
made no effort to procure evidence, avowei
that he never wanted to enter into the con.
test and that he would like to get out Of it;
that he did not want 10 pay out money in
the matter. and hal been forced into It by
the Labor clubs and his desire to repel the
impu,ation that had been cast upon him
that he and his counsel had been bought up.
In the opinion of the committee, the laches
of the contestant and his counsel have been
such as to preclude HIM from asking fur
Their indulgence of the House. Very care
full consideration of the papers satisfies the
committee beyond all reasonable doubt that
not one OF the substantial averments OF the
contest could be established by satisfactory
proofs.
The committee comedies the right Of the
House to investigate the title OF the con-
testee to q sea., even il the contestant has
been guilty of s2ch negligence as to Pre-.
clude him as a party. But it fails TO sec
