4 r-RArsPAREnr DODGE.

The policy of the Republican Senate on
the Territorial admission question was
shown on Monday by the introduction Of
a bill by the Committee on Territories To
admit as a State South Dakota under q
Constitution already formed. At the
same time the chairman Of the commit
tee announced that bills had been report
ed that were enabling acts for the other
three Territories, Montana, Washington
and New Mexico. That is, they were ia
hold conventions at which a State Con-
stitution should be framed that would
be submitted to Congress next session,
and then il approved the other Terri
tories would be admitted. to Statehood.
The bill introduced by Chairman Plat
makes provision for but half of Dakota
to be admitted as a State to the privilege
of voting at the coming national cleo
ton fnr President, while the other three
Territories cannot participate In a Presi-
Dental election until 1892. OF course,
the House will reject such a proposition
and adhere to the resolve Of the Demo-
cratic caucus last Saturday to treat all
the Territories alike and put them on
the same plane Of admission. The South
Dakota bill only complexities the admis-
sion question and introduces an element
Of uncertainty. The Republicans see the
handwriting on the wall of the Novem-
Der election plainly, and seek by the ad-
mission Of a new Republican State into
the contest to add its three votes to their
diminished column. The scheme is too
transparent to have any chance of sue

The House,

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-AH talk of COM
promising the deadlock in the House of
Representatives has ceased. a belief was
generally expressed this afternoon that the
present condition OF affairs will continue
until Tuesday next, the day when it is in
tended to call up the tariff bill, when a de-
termined effort will be made to break the
deadlock. There is a desire on tie part of
the Democratic advocates of the direct
tarin bill to have a caucus called for the
purpase of determining what course shall
be pursued to PUT an end to the present
.stagnation of business, but while opponents
indicate a willingness to have a cauers
called for consultation, they decline

TO POSTPONE.

/ Further Discussion of the South Dakota
BiII In the Senate-The House Passes
the Day in Fruitless Efforts to Break
Deadlock After the AlI-Night Session.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-At a Democratic
| caucus tonight a number 81 motions were
proposed as a basis of compromise, a ma
iority of them looking to a postpcnement
OF the tax bill. A proposition by O'FerraH,
| of Virginia, provided that the direct tax
| bill be postponed until December Is with
| the condition that when it is taken up a
reasonable time be allowed for debate and
a vote taken on it.
Speaker Carlisle advocated the accept
ance OF this proposed compromise. He de-
clared the present proceedings were OF the
most extraordinary character ever wit
messed in a legislative body exhibiting the
spectacle OF a great majority retreating be-
fore a small minority. He died on Oates
to state his position in the matter.
Oates replied that If he followed his own
views lie would consent TO no measure that
did not involve the absolute defeat OF the
bill, but he was q Democrat and if the
caucus decided against him, he would abide
by the decision and support it with his
vote.
Much debate followed, and the caucus
finally adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That on reassembling to-tnor-
row, the House shall adjourn with the I'M
derstaLding that the Committee on Rules
will report the special order setting apart
Thursday, December 6, 1888, Immediately
after reading the journal for consideration
of the Senate bill to provide for %refunding
the direct tax levied in 1861, in which order
a reasonable time shall be allowed for de-
bate and amendment and time for a vote
on the final passage shall be fixed at 4
o'clock ON the following Tuesday.
The caucus adjourned at 11:2Q.
Representative Cannon, OF Illinois, who is
Chairman of the Republican Caucus Com
mittee, said tonight that he thought the
Republicans would not resort to revolu-
tiouary proceedings to prevent an adjourn
ment tomorrow.

commander McCal,a's Report ON its Adj
justment.

WAsHINGroN. April 10.-Commander Nc
Gala. of the United States steamer Enter
prise, has made a long report to the Secre-
talry Of the Navy OF the difficulty with
Morocco. After stating the general situa-
tion as ALREADY published. the Commander
Says while he has no desire to pass upon
the question of the equity OF the protection
system involved in the dispute. he is OF the
opinion that as the rights of the United
States are very clear under the treaties,
they should be upheld as long as the pro-
visions of the treaties are not modified.
While Moorish officials should not be held
to the strictest accountability for a viola
tion Of conventional rules adopted by
more highly civilized nations, it is well to
understand that the Oriental character is
QUICK 10 a < ADVANTAGE
OF a waving Of such rules, and to accept as
a right a point which might occasionally be
yielded. Consul Lewis has, McCalla says,
in the interest OF Cancellation and from the
highest motives, yielded at times when he
was clearly supported by existing treaties,
and might with propriety have insisted
upon 0ne r1gntS they accorded. These
same rights, it would appear. very often
have been questioned when the proteges of
any other nation had been under consider
alton. In this way, the commander saws,
the rights of the United States
HAVE BEEN DENIED
while the same rights under the same con-
ventions have been freely accorded f. ether
powers represented. He says the United
States Government is at a disadvantage
account OF the fact that, while ali other
powers, parties to the convention of 1880,
are represented by Ministers Resident, Con-
gress only provides for a consul for the
United States. The Commander thinks if
the position could be raised to a diplo-
matte one we should go far towards pre-
venting the questions which frequently
arise now.
