Bad Condition of Business in The House,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-There is feeling
of unessiness on the part Of the Democratic
members of the House over the condition of
business in the House and disposition to
get together and agree upon programme
of business. At present II alters are simply
drifting along and it is desired to bring
order out of the confusion which prevails.
The silver question is the most discourage
ing element. Tariff bills and regular annual
appropriation bills will soon demand a
great deal of attention, and it is agreed
there must shortly come a time when the
programme of pusiness for some months to
come must be settled upon If anything is to
be accomplished.
The absence of Catchings has DELAYED
the meeting Of the rules committee for
some Gays past, and the health OF the
speaker has made it necessary he should
seek respite from public affairs, while
the House is temporarily in recess on ac-
count of the visit OF a number Of the mem
bers to Chicago. 1t is probable the whole
Democratic policy will be considered at
the caucus, and a programme Of action
outlined as far as possible.
The silver men all say they have 60 in
tention to gntagonize the tariff and other
measures, and that they are as good tariff
reformers as any other members of the
House. They say, however, they will not

Hrs. j. G. Blaine, ,jr, Gets Her DiYorce


MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-The Journals
Deadwood, S. D., dispatch seys: Judge
Thomas has granted decree of divorce TO
Mrs. jan es G. Blaine, jr., with custody of
her child, $1,000 to pay expenses OF the
suit, ana 500 a month as permanent ali
mony. Mrs. Blaine will leave Deadwood
for Sioux Falls tomorrow.
Judge Thomas, in announcing lis opiu-
ion, said the testimony showed the cause
of separation was The unfriendy feeling of
the family and especially OF the elder Ms.
Blaine. 80 lar as MIR. Blaine was con-
cerned the plaintiff was properly treated,
but Mrs. Blaine did all IN ner power To
make the life of the plaintiff unhappy She
evidently concluded it was hest to separate
them and SO surrounded them with
circumstances which would result in
apparent desertion on the part of the
plaintiff, in other words, she trcate
plaintiff SO cruel as to cause
her TO become so unhappy she would leave
the family home, and SO Mrs. Blaine could
claim the wife deserted the husbapd.
Young Blaine's conduct is very repreheu-
sible. He does not SEEM" said the Judge,
ITO be made of the stuff we would expect
from his family. AS soon as he got under
the domination Of his mother be seemed TO
become estranged from his wife aud treat
ed her with neglect. The evidence shows
desertion was the result of the machina-
tions of his mother, and that his treatment
OF the plaintiff was rsprehensible and bad
IN every respect
Speaking of Young Mrs. Blaine's illness
Judge Thomas said, in part: 1T is hard
to ind language to describe the courts
feeling against young man would act as
he has. All the testimony shows plaintiff
did everything in her power 10 make hen
husband return to her, while he seemed tc
be estranged from her by his mother.''
Mr.. Blaine is apparently happy over the
result, and will leave tomorrow for Sioux
Falls. There was practically no defense
