free coinage men came to the front an un-
broken phalanx. and by a vote of over
.wO 10 one. routed their opponents from
every redoubt behind which they sought
temporary refuge. On the last and vital
prOpOsition-that setting apart three days
for the consideration of the Bland bill
the free coinage men won by the over
Shelming vote OF 1870 yeas to 81 nays.
The Battle Begun.
Notwithstanding the earnest efforts of
Col. Ike Hill, the whIpper-in of the demo-
Gratis, to secure laTgs attendance Of the
democratic members to vote upon the
resolution setting apart three days for the
consideration of the silver bill, when the
speaker called the house to order at noon
he was confronted with q large array of
empty seats.
Before the reading of the journal Mr..
Catchings called uD the resolution and
the clerk proceeded to read. and upon its
adoption Mr.. Catchings demanded the
previous question.
Mr.. Tracey ~. NJ called attention to
the fact that the journal had not been read.
The speaker declared it was in order for
the gentleman from Missouri to call up
the resolution. The reading Of the resolu-
ton was concluded.
Mr. Dingley-"Has the chair ruled that this
report Ol tIt cOtuIulltto on TuleS can De con-
sidered before the journal has been read?i
The Speaker-"Fbe chair has. That is the
provision of the rule"
Mr.. Dingley-"The same provision of the
r-les would confer the same privilege on con-
ference reports.
The Speaker-"It does not confer the same
privilege on conference reports. The gentle.
man Is mistaken; there express limitations
against conference reports"
Mr.. Dingley-"Then the chair decides that
business can be done before the reading OF the
jouTnel?"
The Speaker-'The chair so decides"
Mr. Traeey-"I appeal from the decision Of
the chair"
Speaker Crisp Attacked.
In advocacy OF bis appeal Mr.. Tracey
said that it would be an unfortunate pre-
cedent TO make that the committee on
rules, which consisted practically OF three
members. could come into the house and
force upon the three hundred and
odd members the consideration Of
any resolution they might desire to
call up. The house ought to proceed
with great caution. The eyes of the
entire country were on the house this day,
and this resolution was upon a matter
which concerned the people more than
any question that had come before II for

rule itself proposes. Under the rules of
the last congress-"
docs the gentleman indorse the last
congress?" inquired Mr.. Reed. Great
laughter.
"Some parts of it ne may and some
parts of it he does not" retorted the
speaker. THE chair does not indorse its
speaker" Laughter and applause on the
democratic sidel.
The speaker of the last house begs
leave to say that he never expected the
chair to indorse him." replied Mr.. Reed.
Applause on the republican sidel.
Quite right" commented Speaker
Crisp, lGconically. 81 was just going to
say when Interrupted by the gentleman
from Maine that the speaker of the last
congress held that the question of consid-
Grafton could not be raised against the
order of business"
We'll, don't want to have ANYTHING to
do with the rules OF the Fifty-first con-
gress," said Mr.. Tracev emphatically.
LGreat laughter. "The rules of the Fifty
first congress should not be alluded to in
this congress except possibly by the gentle
man from Maine" Renewed laughter. !
The Speaker-"The chair won't quarrel with
the gentleman about that" Laughter.l
Another appeal.

decision of the chair and Mr. Warren,

Mr.. Andrew. lie Mr.. Cockran) had to
appeal to the committee on rules for this
disposition because the gentleman from
Missouri refused to consent.
MIR. Bland inquired whether the gentle
man had not stated that there would be
no opposition by tilibustering.
8lr. Cochran denied that filibustering
had been referred to.
Dir. Bland-"1Ou said in that conversation
that you would vote without flibustering."
Mr. Cockran-"My recollection does not
cover any such conversation"
Mr. BGnd-"bIine does most emphatically."
Mr.. Cochran, continuing, expressed
himself as opposed TO filibustering meth.
DDS. When he filibustered il would be
when the government of his country was
in danger and not when fiscal question
came before the house. The ruling of the
chair was a dangerous one. Until the
journal was read no member could tell
whether the house was legally in session.
Mr. Andrew Mass stated that his rec
objection OF the conversation between Mr.
Cochran and Mr.. Bland was in entire
accord with the recollection of the former
gentleman.
Mr.. Grain TEX inquired of the chair
whether a motion 10 adjourn would be in
order before the reading OF the journal.
The Spesker-"It has always been so held
and never questioned, and the same language
applies to the rule as applies to the motion to
adjourn"

Mr.. Catchings obtained recognition and
yielded to Mr.. Pierce, (Tennessee) who
stated that he had been present at the con-

that conversation were as stated by Mr.
Bland. He had heard every word that
passed on that occasion.

WASHINGTON, March THE free coin
Rge issue will not down. This was clearly
demonstrated by today's action of the
house, and the gentlemen in both parties
who have been hoping that the silver
question might be postponed until after
the general elections are tonight convinced
that the issue Is one which must be met
aud disposed of by the house before the
date of the national conventions. The
free coinage men in both parties are, of
course, highly eIated at their triumph.
The gold men in the democratic party are
filled with most dismal forebOdings of the
political result if the democratic party
commits itself TO the Bland bill, while the
anti-free coinage republicans, who COM
prise So per cent. of their full membership
In the house. are disposed 10 view the sit
uatiOn, If not with satisfaction, at least
with great deal of cOmpiacency. as they
regard the contest rs one in which the
democrats IN the end must be the greater
losers.
The Bland HiII 90 Pass.
The vote in the house today indicates
that the house will surely pass the Bland
bill-so decisive and overwhelming was
the victory OF the advocates OF free coin
age. 1t was significant feature of the
proceedings that on all the disputes that
arose on parliamentary questions the anti
tree coinage men did most of the talking.

the conclusion would have been irresisti-

should be given them to reach the capitol.
He yielded five minutes TO Mr.. Fitch and
reserved the balance of his time.
Mr.. Fitch (N. " seconded his col
leagues remarks, prefacing his own with
an expression OF the highest respect for
the fairness of the chair, but he concurred
fully in what had been said in reference to
the danger of the precedent which 1t was
proposed to set. Those democrats who
had sat here, over and over again demand
ing the reading of the journal in the last
house, knew that that demand had always
been granted, and that in democratic
house, in q case like this, refusal should
be made, was as Unfair to his mind as
anything that had been done in the last
house. There was a good deal OF talk IN
his state about a premature or snap con-
vention. Ii there was ever anything pre-
mature Or unexpected to those who op-
posed the silver legislation, 1t was the
swapping of this resolution on them be-
fore the reading of the journal. The rep
resentatives from New York would stand
by what they thought right with the same
steadfastness and courage they had stood
by the present speaker when, as the gen.
tleman from Georgia, he had protested
against things that were no more uni ust
than was the bringing in of this resolu-
ton before the reading 0f the journal.
The party owed something to the demo-
Gratis of New York. 1t had no right to
load them down; and from them it must
expect, as it deserved, the most emphatic
protest.
Bland to the Rescue.
Mr.. Tracey then claimed the floor, but
the speaker had already recognized Mr..
Bland and stated to Mr.. Tracey that as he
had reserved his time, the gentleman
from Missouri was entitled to the floor.

1891 was a very good one, so he pull ed

taken for horses he had sold which
were mostly deposited with the banks

Every County a Claimant.

HUMBOLDT, Dec. 15.-The suit of the
State of Tennessee against the Mobile
& Ohio Railroad Company is on trial
here. 1t involves 5000, 900 back taxes
and perpetual annual tax to the State
in future. Tho State claims that the
railroad has not complied with the
terms of its charter. The road was to
be exempt from the payment of any tax
whatsoever until it was able to declare
an per cent. dividend. The railroad
has been bonded so high that it will
never be able to pay the required divi-
dend; therefore it will be forever ex-
empt from paying the taxes and the
stockholders will pocket the money.
Hence arises the charge that the road
has not complied with the terms of its
charter. Each side has stenographer,
who have instructions not to let single
word escape them. The State is repre-
sented by s. A. Chapman, of Nashville,
and each county through which the road
passes is represented by one or more
able lawyers. The town is full of rail
road magnates and lawyers, and no other
question is heard discussed on the
streets. The case has once been in the
Supreme Court, and will probably go
there again before it can be adjusted.

PlIshed and Noted Musicians or His
Time, at ths Age of sevsnty-Four Years.

ment that was placed before him. He
could transpose at sight, and had been
presented with number of medals for
this rare accomplishment During his
life he has composed about 1000 sep
arate pieces of music. At the time of

MEXICO WILL DEMAND


That the Government or the United States
+ Take Decisive Steps for the suppressIon
of tho Revolutionary Band that Makes
IncuI sions into Moxico from tho Texas
Side of the Rio Grande.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. IA special to
the Times Democrat from Monterey,
Mexico, says: The Mexican govern
ment will demand from President Har-
rison that he take decisive steps toward
breaking up and wiping out the band
of revolutionists that have their rel
devious on United States soil in the
lower Rio Grande border country.
Gov. Manual of Nueva Leon, has for
warded to President Harrison documen-
tary evidence in proof that a plot
exists among a large force of Mexicans
in Texas to make an armed expedition
against Mexico. Gov. Reis is greatly
incensed over the inactivity of the mill
t.-.y authorities of the United States in
not putting down this revolution in its
incipieney. He said yesterday: "The
killing of those eleven Mexican soldiers
and citizens opposite San Ygnacio, by
the band of outlaws who crossed over
from Texas, is the greatest outrage
committed by persons of one friendly
nation on the subjects of another that
has occurred in the nineteenth CEN
tury."
It is believed that serious interna-
tional trouble will grow out of the San
Ygnacio outrage if the United States
government does not show its disap-
proval of the act of the revolutionists
by putting large body of troops in the
field after the perpetrators and their
sympathizers. The Mexican govern
ment is strengthening its already strong
force of soldiers on the border bv rush
ing about 2, 600 troops to the turbulent
section from interior garrisons
