"UNLOCK THAT DOORv,
Democrats Excitedly Force Their
Way Out of the House.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-There was
scene of excitement on the Republican
side of the house this afternoon. The
Virginia election case was the unfin-
ished business. but the house itself
was engaged in the technical pro-
ceeding of trying to approve yes
ic members were endeavoring in
every way to prevent the consideration
of the election case, and in pursuance
of this policy, almost all of them left the
hall to break quorum on the question
OF approving the journal. A call was
ordered and brought in number of
Democrats, and yea and nay vote was
being taken on motion to dispense
with further proceedings under the call,
when the Democratic members again
began to decamp. Mr.. Burrows called
the attention of the speaker to the fact,
and asked if the members present could
not be obliged to remain. The speaker
responded that the rules were
Intended to secure this end. He added
that he did not see why they were not
observed. Accordingly the assistant
doorkeeper, MIR. Houk, directed all of
the doors leading into the hall to be
locked. Hardly had this been done be-
fore Representative Kilgore, of Texas,
presented himself at the door on the
speakers left hand and sought to go
out into the lobby. He found that the
door was locked, and the doorkeeper in
charge. Mr.. Hayes. refused to unlock it.
unlock that door," demanded the
stalwart Texan. The doorkeeper moved
not, whereupOn Mr.. Kilgore gave
sudden and vigorous kick, and the
frail baize structure flew open and Mr..
Kilgore strobe out. He was followed
in about the same fashion by Represen-
tative Grain, of Texas; Cummings, of
New York, and Coleman, of Louisiana,
who in turn forced the lock open with
out opposition from the doorkeepers.
At the moment Mr.. Kilgore drove the
door flying open Representative Ding
ley, of Maine, was approaching from the
other side. The door struck him with
full force in the face, bruising his nose
badly. For time it was feared, and so
generally reported, that the bone had
been broken, but this found not to be
the case upon examination.

The Treasury Acts at the Beck of
Moneyed Men.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-In the SEN
ate Mr.. Voorhees, introduced a bill to
retire the circulation of the national
banks, to issue legal tender notes in lieu
thereof, and to reduce the interest-bear-
ing bonds to par. Referred to committee
on finance. The resolution offered yes
terday by Mr.. Plumb to commit the
bankruptcy bill to the judiciary COM
mittee with instructions to amend it so
as to provide for voluntary bankruptcy
only, was taken up and at the SuggeS-
ton of Mr.. HOar went over till to-
morrow. Mr.. Plumb offered resolution
directing the secretary of the treasury
to inform the senate whether the rule
or policy of his department which re-
quireS the payment Of checks for silver
bullion over the counter of the sub
treasury instead of through the proper
clearing house does not result in paying
out notes of the larger denominations
instead of those suited for circulation
and use i'll ordinary business tran
sactions, and whether such method
of payment does not result in the
payment of gold instead of treasury
notes. As reason for Offering the re-
solution Mr.. Plumb sent to the clerks
desk and had read letter from men,
Der of New York banking house,
stating facts as to the payment of such
checks, and venturing the prediction
that the silver question is not finally
settled, and that New York speculation
and accumulationS of silver threaten to
arouse it. Bank Withdrawals of treas
ury gold (the writer says will be seized
upon by certain influential journals
here unscrupulously. A break in the
market price of silver (and that
threatens( at such a time will equal
of fears" In the course of a discus
sion on the resolution, Mr.. Plumb spoke
of the conspicuous illustration that had
taken place within the last few weeks
of the impolicy of allowing the treasury
department to ObStruct or accelerate the
business of the country. For years the
treasury department., he said, had
boarded money, and during all that
time the volume Of currency had been
constantly decreasing on account of the
withdrawal of national bank notes.
The secretary of the treasury had seen
the business of the country hampered
on account of that lack of money; but
ne had waited till panic was impend-
but stringency of money that
affected the banks of all the cities
and seriously interfered with the opera
tions of ordinary business. And then
what had the secretary done? He had
given out the money to the holders of
government bonds under such circum-
stances as to enable them (and not him)
to control the money supply of the
country during their pleasure. The
money which few days ago had been
in the treasury, aud which could have

49, YANKTON PROTESTS
That South Dakota Is Being Con-
Stantly LibeIed.

YANKToN, S. D., Sept. Is. The
chamber of commerce OF Yankton has
issued the following address to the pub
lie:
Whereas, Many newspapers Of the country
for the past year or two have published un-
truthful and damaging statements as to fail
ure of crops in South Dakota, and especially
SO regarding the counties of the southeastern
portion of the state, where crops have been
fully up to the average of thej best agrlcult-
ural states of the Union.
Whereas Such papers persist in publishing
these false and malicious stories, taking nc.
exception in regard to localities, procaiming
the entire state a failure agriculturally, be-
cause few counties in the northern and CEN
trail portion of the state have suffered from
drought in the past two years;
Whereas, The general average crop of the
state, according to all evidence at our COM
mand supported by the official crop reports
from Washington city. is not surpassed by
the great agricultural states of Ohio, Indiana
or Illinois; therefore. be it
Resolved. That we earnestly protest against
the continued publication of these wholesale
falsehoods as they may relate to the southern
portion of the state, and especially TO Yank-
ton county, where crops of all kinds for
number OF years have averaged fully up to
those of Iowa or Illinois. and where a failure
of crops has never occurred, as we are pre-
pared to demonstrate by the sworn state
ments of large number of our farmers, now
in our possession. ana which this chamber of
commerce is prepared to verify.
Resolved. That we respectfully ask the AS
sociated Press to do us the justice to publish
the above, thereby giving the contradiction
as wide circulation as has been given TO the
inaccurate and hurtful publications of which
we complain. GEORGE X. SCoUGALE,

A SOLDIERS SUICIDE. 5
Death of a Battle-Scarred Veteran
by His Own Hand.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Col. Duke Bailie,
formerly of the regular army, but more
recently an author, committed suicide
tonight in his room, on one of the
upper floors of No. 236 State street. He
opened an artery in his leg and per-
mitted himself to bleed to death. The
eX-soldier'S tWelve-year-old boy slept
in the same room with him and
awakened to find his father i'm the
agony of death. Col. Bailie has been
widower for four years. He was mus
tered out of the army directly after the
war and had been in receipt of a small
pension ever since. He was horribly
disfgured from wounds received in
fighting his country's battles. A
bayonet thrust had carried away
his nose; saber cut left a long,
ugly scar across his cheek, and
one foot had been taken off by a shell.
Jagged scars OH his breast indicated
that his face was toward the enemy
when the wounds were inflicted. De-
spite the old veterans appearance, his
boy was paSsonately fond of him, and
was in the habit of throwing his arms
around his neck, and between kisses
calling him his "dear old cut-up papa"
The pair have been eking out bare ex-
istence with the colonel's little pension
and what he was able to earn from his
writings.

discussion was the status of business in
the house and the best means of obtain
ing quorum to do business. 1t was
found upon roll call that there are
now in Washington AS Republican
members, which is twenty-one less than
quorum. Consequently there are now
twenty-eight Republican absentees.

fort to secure the attendance of these
members, and kilograms will be sent to-
night representing the pressing need
for their presence. 1t was stated that
If these absentees return to Washington
