The Democrats in Congress, having been
driven out of the filibustering business in
tie House, have taken to practising it in
committee. There were not enough Repub-
lican members of the House elections COM
mittee in Washington the other day to make
quorum without the presence of a few
Democratic members. The case coming up
was that of Breckenridge of Arkansas,
who holds the seat contested for by
the murdered Clayton. The majority of the
committee have come to the conclusion that
Breckenridge is not entitled to the seat, and
they intended to take action the other day.
Knowing this, the Democratic members of
the committee lodged out of the committee
room, thus breaking the quorum and prevent
Ing action. AS there are no rules to COM
pei attendance on committee meetings, the
Republicans can do no business until they
have enough of their men there to do it alone.

Senator Blair of New Hampshire seems to
have learned wisdom by his own experience
as a senatorial time-killer. He according to
the unanimous opinion of the country killed
his educational bill by the inordinately long
speech which he made in its favor. Having
seen the error of this method of doing things
the New Hampshire man now comes for.

duction OF the previous question to limit de-
bate and permit the Senate to transact ;ts
business. Unless the Democrats In the
Senate recede from their position
on this question as completely as their fell
lows in the House did On the quorum ques-
tion, howeyer,it will require prompt and Wig
orous action on the part Of the Senate's pre-
siding officer to secure action on the resolu-
ton itself. The ilibusters would be as will

OF the Democracy of the other house did
when 1t came to the poiLt of actual conflict.

PoRT TOWNSEND. July l6-The city Of
Port Angeles is deserted. Over 600 per-
sons within the last three days have gone
to the military reservation and taken up
squatters' claims. The reservation con-
tains 5000 acres. aud the squatters have
had the land surveyed in blocks of two
and one-half acres, containing ten lots.
Each person over the age Of twenty-one,
both male and female. locates one lot,
The land is situated one mile from Port
Angeles and is choice property. Squat
tiers have commenced slashing and clear
ing the land preparatory to erecting
dwellings. The jumping fever extends to
this city and large number of persons
are leaving for Port Angeles Most Of
the saloons and business houses In Port
Angeles have closed, and proprietors
with their families have moved onto the
reservation and taken up squatters
claims. The government land agent
passed through here today destined for
that city. and IL is runiurcd ON good au-
thority that he will institute criminal
proceedings against jumpers for cutting
and destroying government timber. The
squatters are regularly organized, have q

that federal aid will be requested To assist
In eXpelling the squatters. The whole

successful effort was to save the man
