AN ATTEMPT TO FILIBUSTER.
| or course the silver Democrats and Popuists
attempted to flibuster, but as foreshadowed In
these dispatches last night, the attempt was
vain one and even Bryan realized before he
desisted that 1t was hopeless Both he ana
Bland were disappointed and crestfallen when
they discovered that not more than twenty
six yotes-not enough to support a demand for
the yeas and nays-could be mustered In favor
of any flibustering motion. II the opponents
| of repeal had really desired an opportunity to
debate and offer amendments. they would not
have objected yesterday to Mr.. Livingstons re-
quest for unanimous consent. and they would
have gladly accepted the generous offer Of
Chairman Wilson to-day to allow the debate
to run until 4 o'clock before the vote was
taken. They preferred to waste the time In
making dilatory motions which they were ready
to continue until the patience Of the House
should be exhausted. and they would have done
so II they had not been caught mapping.
The duty Of keeping these motions before the
House was devolved upon Messrs. Bryan, Of
Nebraska. and Snodgrass, Of Tennessee. The
latter made himself peculiarly conspicuous and
offensive by putting cheap and rank cigar and
addressing the Speaker repeatedly from cloud

House Of Representatives ever before showed
greater contempt for the rules Of that body or
more gross disrespect toward its presiding off,
Ger. and everybody wondered why the Speaker
did not require him to obey the rule which for
bids smoking the floor when the House Is In
session. ~,
After the fbustering had continued some
time General Henderson, Of Iowa, moved that the
House take a recess for thirty minutes. I'm or
der that the Committee on Rulea unight pro.
