w,sHrNGrox, Aug. 15.-The mangled

ie-, o- less decently by the republican
.o-,oI caucus last night, under the
so-s,'Ir s'-s"t;or of Chairman Quay of the repub-
otional committee, who is now leading
.bo ranublicans very much as FucE pictured
~. 49, Ia AZ week. With the force Dill went
the Hoar gag rule and all the other proposed
r,,os in the rules. Incidentally the re-
"nnoTtionment scheme was buried. 1t was
proat nights work, or rather good days
r,ork for Senator Quay did it by incessant
effort throughout yesterday.
GREAT VICTORY FOR QUAY.

rouse Of his reciprocity interference with

but dearest Of all to Speaker Reed, the intro
arction Of Reedism in the Senate There is
nrobsbly nothing in the report that Presi-
dsnt Harrison will blacklist all the republi-
cans who voted with Senator Quay in the
caucuS President Harrison could not afford
toblacklist eight of the republican senators,
Int he would like to, if the remarks he
made about them to-day are an indication
of his feelings.
CAN'T HOLD CONGRESS-.
Sneaker Reed will not carry out bis
threat Of keeping congress here by hanging
ND the tariff bill till the Senate passes the
force bill He would not do it if be could.
He cannot keep a quorum OF those here
now. and next month it will be impossible.
He will simply place the responsibility for
the failure of the force bill on the Senate,
and let it 20 at that. Consequently, ad-
journment may be expected by Sept Is.
QUAY MAGNANIMoUs.
Senator Quay is magnanimous in the
hour Of victory, and so he did not press his
advantage last night to the point Of humil-
iating by compelling the adoption of his
resolution after be had beaten the Hoar
force bill amendment Senators Hoar and
Spooner, seeing that they were hopelessly
beaten, asked mercy, and so Senator Quay
permitted an adjournment. His mag
nanimity has granted them the still greater
favor Of settling privately on the terms Of

1t was part Of this deception that the
force bill senators, including Senator Ed
4 munds, the spokesman Of the caucus, gave
out last night that nothing had been done.

Hoar force bill amendment had been voted
down, in spite of the fact that the vote on
the amendment had been given by other
senator's as follows:
