Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-rne Mills
Randall fight for possession of the house
has begun, and call after call of the
house will be the order for the next few
days. No business was transacted to-
day and the Mills men are jubilant. 1t
is simply question now of physI-
cal endurance as to he1r long
the filibusterers can keep up
the fight Mr. Crisp made fight for the
Sullivan FELTON, election case against
Savers who wanted the house to consider
the deficiency bill, and finally the re-
suit was that the Republicans COM
menced to fillibuster as, if the election case
was considered FELTON,. the Republican
incumbent, would be unseated. The fill
clustering continued, much to the dis
gust of Mr.. Sayers, but it was picnic
for Mills, as he saw the arms of the Eli
clustering laid on the Republicans, while
it STAYED off the resolution which would
let in the Cowles revenue bill.
The house appropriation committee
have agreed to the senate amendment to
the snndry civil bill, apprOpriating $1,000

! ment of sending his extra baggage any
where but at once to the White House.

| mination to expedite his departure from
the mansion was the remembrance of
what occurred when. he himself was
the object of popular attention four
wears ago, and the small amount of in
terest that was shown at the same time
to President Arthur.
