Breckinridge Downs the Speaker in
Lively Little Tilt.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20-In the House
to-day Mr.. O'Ferrall objected to the ap-
proval of the journal.
The speaker counted only thirty-seven
democrats, not enough to order the yeas
and nays on the question, present.
The tellers were demanded, and the
speaker then counted forty-eight democrats.
Mr.. Breckinridge-You only counted
thirty-seven before.
The Speaker-This is not the first time
gentlemen on that side have appeared and
disappeared.
Mr. Breckinrldge-And this Is not the
Grst time the count OF the chair has turned
out to be incorrect.
The Speaker-The chair desires to say
that yesterday the count by tellers showed
two less than the count by the chair, and
that was because of two members disappear
ing after the speakers count.
Mr.. Crisp-There was difference of six
The Speaker-The gentleman is mistaken.
Mr.. Breckinridge-Thec country will know
the facts.
The yeas and nays having been ordered,
there was a democratic exodus, and in a
moment the democratic seats were we'll

binding twine schedules. Who will get the
fall, aud when, it is impossible to say. The
champions are wrestling all over the stage,
now up, now down, but neither able 80 far
to get the other squarely down, with both
shoulders fiat on the floor. It is hardly
likely that report can be agreed upon and
reported to the House before Wednesday.
Senator Pierce told the conferees that the
senator's who voted to put binding twine on
the free list would oppose the restoration of
the duty on that article as long as possible.
Senator Davis also told the conferees prac-
tically the same thing.
LoUIsIANA's PLANTERS.
The delegation of the Louisiana Planters
Association will leave for home tonight
They say they believe the conferees will re-
port an amendment to the sugar schedule
by which the bounty on sugar, which is to
take effect March l, shall be applicable to
all products Of cane not then manufactured.
This will be satisfactory to the sugar men.
1t is believed that some substantial agree
ments have been arrived at respecting the
metal schedule by the republican conferees,
but these cannot be learned. It is said that
the Senate changes have been practically
agreed to, except as to bronzes, where the
duty is put back to 10 cents a pound instead
of Is per cent ad valorem.
NO BOUNTY FOR SILK CULTURE.
The provision for the payment of a
bounty for silk culture is said to have been
stricken out.
Another full meeting Of the conferees
will be held Monday. At that time an
effort will be made to order the report of
the bill, even if there is a disagreement on
some points. From present indications an
agreement will not be reached on all the
questions of difference by that time.
