WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Mark Twain,
Edward EggleSton, Richard M. johnson
and others, representatives of the interna-
tional copyright league, sat in the House
gallery to-day and saw the chance for
getting a day for the consideration of the
international copyright bill gradually wiped
out. Mr.. Payson Of Illinois did it. He
has nothing against the information copy
right bill, but he objected to doing bust
ness under suspension of the rules, and
especially to considering the Union Pacific
funding bill IN that way. He could not get
the friends of that bill to say that they would
not move to suspend the rules in its inter
est so he started in to filbuster on his own
account by the easy method of introducing
long printed bills and then having them
read at length.

will be on one Of the last six days OF the
