WASHINGTON. September IL. The deau-
lock in the House was unbroken to-day
The Republicans would not consent 70
abandon the Langston case, although
Judge Perkins and other prominent te-
publicans suggested to Boss Reed, As,
sistant-Bosses Burrows and Mckinley, ana
| Haugen. the Wisconsin Radical, that II
would be good policy for the latter TO an
nounce that in view of the fact that u was
| private-bil day and pension night IN tne
| House he would not press the elecuoli
case. Boss Reed and Haugen flew up SUI
denly and declared that they woui1i
not yield an inch Colonel OteIiaii
was on hand Just as determined a.
| they We're, and he did not let up mo-
ment. He put up the same pluckky hgnt
that he has waged right along, and ne pro-
poses TO stand by his guns until the mst
! dying flicker If necessary. lie may po
| eventually overpowered, but he IL not gong
| TO give up until he has 10. II brute tofco -
used, and the Republicans finally muster
a quorum, why. then he Will have 10 IN
| what comes, but as long "a there II
| chance left he proposes 10 battle Tor VIZ
| GINA. Nenable, and the Democracy anu
| do his utmost IN his capacity ~ ineiupoi
| of the committee, TO prevent the attempt
ed robbery of Mr.. Venable's seat.
PAIR PROPOSITION.
| The Democrats Of the House are ASSIST
| ing nobly, with only here and there rev
exceptions. These exceptions are CON
! fined TO the men who imagine that thf
| river and harhor bill ia in danger. COlOnel
| O'Ferrall has assured them that that
measure IL in no danger because OF the
! fight he is making. Two or three days
| ago he made the fairest sort OF aprop0sltloh
| to Haugen and TO General henderson;
| Of Illinois, the latter being IN charge OF
| the river aud harbor bill. lie SAID that il
| Haugen would not press the Langstoh
/ case ne (O'FerralD would hold of tor one
day and allow Burrows. Speaker pro fen.,
| TO sign the bills on the Speakers table,
the river and harbor beng among those
measures. General Henderson tod
| Gauren RIGHT of that Colonel O'FerralPs
! proposition was ~ lair as ANYTHING couid
| Ice. but Haugen would not listen 70 It. lie
| said he intended 20 press the Langston
case.
| A HIGH OLD TINE.
Colonel O'Ferrall informed him that he
would have a high old time III getting 1t
considered. The fight was renewed, ana
it has been kept up ever since. Judge
! Crisp, of Georgia, Is ably assisting
| Colonel OFerrall. They are warm per-
sonal and political friends, and have served
together on the Elections Committee dG-
ring two Congresses
The deadlock in the House may pre-
! vent the Beck eulogies in the House 10
morrow. Colonel O'Ferrall and Judge
| Crisp this morning had a conference with
the Democratic members of the Ken
tuckv delegation. They said they were
! sorry to think this fight might
possibly interfere with tO-morrow's
programme. The Kentuckians said that
they were willing to postpone the
tributes. WHY SAID one OF the hen-
tuckians. Senator Beck would turn over
! in ms grave II such a thing were possible
| if he knew that Democrats abandoned
! such a fight even temporarily for the pur-
| nose of euloCiZing his life and career. lie
| was Democratic fighter and would want
this matter carried to a finish"
Colonel OFerrall has received tele-
| gram from a big Democratic cluD IN Cnl-
| cago. which read as follows: -" We heartily
! endorse the fight you are making III the
| House"
THE PROGRAMME FOR MONDAY.
The Republicans appear to be confident
| of having quorum on hand by MONDAY or
| Tuesday of next week, but II Is by no means
certain that they will succeed. The DEM
ocrats will leave the hall If necessary 10
break the quorum, and keep only one or
| two men on duty Malone IL not eXertlng
AS much influence in this case as II was
presumed he would exert, but probably ne
Is dong the quiet work, and may show his
hand later on in the struggle.
The Republican leaders are having more
trouble than they Will admit with the tarih
bin. The binding-twine question Is wor-
rvinr them q great deal There Is big
trust in binding-twine. and the members
of the trust are reading the riot act to
Reed and Mckinley and are demanding
that the duty shall be restored.
THE FoBLoBN HOPE.
The moor old southern Republicans
| have about lost hope on the subject OF
tobacco-tax reduction. The leaders are
telling them to keep quiet, a. there IS no
chance this year 10 keep the promises maze
in this regard. They need the money de-
rived from the tObaccC-tax 10 meet the new
demands created by the pauper pension
bill.
AGAINST THE FORCE BILL.
Senator ingalls, presented in the Senate
IN. dav n petltion from a large number Of
Republican citizens of Missouri emphatl-
caliy protesting against the passage OF the
force bill. The signers are largely Ger
mans. and they close their remembrance
with these powerful and truthful SEN
