for Democrats.
WASHINGTON, d. C., February l.
HOUSE.-The Washington public seem
to have taken it for granted that tn
great parliamentary struggle in tn
house is practically over. and that th
exciting and turbulent scenes Of the las
few days are not to be kept up, bccaus
the galleries, while pretty well filled a
the hour of meeting to-day, did not pre-
sent the iammed appearance Of yester
day; and there was no such pressure ant
surging through the corridors as wasth,
case yesterday. Nevertheless it is tn,
understanding among the members tha
the democrats will persist in their tao
| tics and obstruct as far AS possible al
legislative proceeding SO long as there il
no regular body of rules to govern them
There was no reference in the chaplain.

Of personal privilege, including points OF
general applause, etc. The reading was
closed at 1920; and instantly Mr..
Springer was on his feet with a motion
to correct the journal.
Mr.. Mckinley was not so prccipitatc,
but he got up slowly and moved that
the journal be approved. calling for the
previous question on that motion the
speaker recognized Mr.. McKinlcy's mo.
tion entirely ignoring Mr.. Springer. But
Mr.. Springer was not to I've ignored in
that way. and he Immediately made n
motion to adjourn, in view of the fact,
he said, that we have no rules.
"Thc gentleman from Illinois" said
the speaker blandly, 'is out Of order in
making any remarks on a motion to ad.
journ. The question now is, shall the
house adjourn"
He put the question to the house, but
several democrats demanded the yeas
and nays and that interesting exercise
was proceeded with. The democrats did
not refrain from voting, and conse-
quently It was not necessary for the
speaker to keep his little memorandum
oi members present and not voting. At
ter the roll call was completed the
speaker was about to announce the re-
suit, but was stopped by demand from
Mr.. Mcmillan that recapitulation Of
the vote he read. That also nelped to
consume time, and it was one by the
clock when the result was announced,
which was, yeas, 1876; nays, 1853; so the
house refusedt to adjourn.
The next step in the procedure was the
call for the previous question on Mr.,
McKinley's motion to approve the jour.
nal of yesterday. The yeas and nays
were demanded by Mr.. Mcmillan and
were ordered. This time the democrats
did refrain from voting, and II became
necessary for the speaker to note the
names Of those who were present and de-
clined to vote.
As the speaker arose to announce the
result of the vote Mr.. Dockery asked
whether II was not proper to have the
pairs announced.
The speaker replied that II would Ike

To announce them and proceeded to name
as present and refusing to vote: .
