WASHINGTON, Jan. 51.--Undaunted
by their defeat to day, the democratic
representatives rallied i'll force tonight
in caucus to consult over the extent OF
the injuries they had sustained as a
result of the speakers rulings sup
ported and confirmed by the Republican
representatives and To devise ways and
means 10 preserve such power and IN
fluence as in their opinion should
be exercised by the minority. They
were not of cheerful mIen, but it was
a notwithstanding set of men who
drifted into the hall of the house to-
night. Mr.. Holman presided, and there
was a large attendance-about1 2O mem
bers being present. Mr.. Rogers. of
Arkansas, who was among the first
speakers, stated that he had heard Rep
resentative Payne, of New York. say
that Mir. Carlisle was responsible for the
delay in the presentation OF the III eS,
and that they would have been before
the house ten days ago if he had done
his duty. Ibis brought Mir. Carlisle to
his feet
WITH VIGOROUS DENIAL.
He SAID that there had been only three
meetings of the committee Oh ruieS, the
first being Jan. %. There had been no
meeting in the committee room. lie
had never received notice in writing
of meeting of the committee Oh rules
since the beginning of the congress.
But he had been sent for by the speaker
and had met him and Messrs. Mckinley
and Cannon at the speakers request.
He had been sent for to attend two
other meetings at the speakers Ie-
quest, lasting only about twenty min
utes each. He had promptly attended
no meetings since last Monday. When
MI Carlisle had retuted the charge of
dertlction of duty on his part, a letter
was presented TO the caucus from Rep
resentative Randall. He advised the
Democrats to stay i'll the Louoe and
stand by their guns: to use every effort
to stop absolutely all business
in the house until set of rules had
been presented and adopted. This
stirring advice from the Old-time leader
lying Oh his sick bed was extremely
welcome to his fellow Democrats, and
was, moreover, III the line of action
that they decided to follow. There
was much talk, of course, and some
of the members were bitter in their
denunciation of the proceedings of the
last three days. But conservative
cOunsels prevailed, and it WAS felt that
the party had bettrr follow the leader
ship of MeSsrs. Carlisle, Crisp and Mills.
No one could suggest any
NEW OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS
that promised well, and the general
opinion was to the effect that the pro-
gramme followed during the last three
days should be continued in force, and
that every parliamentary move that
would obStruct the Republicans in their
designs should be made. The reading
of the journal in full is to be insisted
upon, and is expected to consume an
hour each day; the yeas and nays are
to be demanded at every step,
and appeals are to be taken from
all rulings regarded as arbitrary
and unjust by the minority. There was,
however, no formal resolution to do this
adopted. Mr.. Carlisle, with the aid of
other leaders, will draw up an address
to the country, which will be published,
in justification of the course of the mi
nOrity. During the speechmaking the
subject OF securing the Intervention. of
the supreme court to attempt TO eStab-
liSh the illegal nature of the Republican
proceedings was preached, but no action
was taken.
