ALI the Conference Reports Fail Ow-
ing to Hutchinson's Filibustering.
Washington, Nov. 3.-There was the
usual rush and crowding of bills and CON
ference reports in the legislative chute of
the House that always marks the closing
hours of a session of congress. Imme-
diately after the reading of the journal
the Senate amendment to the bill per-
mitting the sale of worlds fair exhibits
in this country upon payment of so per
cent. of thesduties to which they were
subject were non-concurred in and the
bill was sent to further conference.
Mr.. Hudson, of Kansas, asked unani-
nous consent for the consideration of the
Senate bill granting right-of-way through
Oklahoma and Indian territories to the
Kansas, Oklahoma and Central and
Southwestern Railroad Company. OBJ
lection was made.
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, presented
resolution to pay per diem session clerks
and employees of the House and Senate
during the adjournment.
MIR. SAVERS OBJECTS.
Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, the chairman of
the appropriations committee, was in
clined to object. The resolution, he said,
did not specify the amount of the appro-
priatiOn it would carry, and he declared
he would never agree 10 any resolution
providing for an indefinite appropriation.
1t would cost $50 900 for the clerks to
members alone, and no one knew how
much the continuation of the salaries of
other employees would amount to. He in
sisted that the House was entitled to
know how much money it was voting
away. The resolution was carried by
vote of 149 to 50.
AT 1905 o'clock the clerk of the Senate
announced to the House that the resolu-
tion providing for final adjournment at 3
o'clock was agreed to.
AS soon as the announcement was made,
on motion of Mr.. Holman, the House
passed joint resolution instructing the
speaker to appoint a committee of the
House TO JOIN similar committee of the
Senate to wait on the President and in
form him that if he had no further com
munications to make that congress was
ready to adjourn.
The speaker then appointed Messrs.
Holman, of Indiana, Turner, of Georgia,
and Dingley, of Maine.
NO MORE COMMUNICATIONS.
At 2:35 Messrs. Holman, Dingley and
Turner marched down the aisle and an
nounced that the President had nothing
further to communicate.
Mr.. Richardson then moved to concur
in the Senate amendment to the resolu-
tion to pay the Senate employees during
the adjournment.
Mr.. Sayers made a statement to the eff
feet that Senator Cockrell had author
lied him to state to the House that no de-
ficiency DILL shall pass until the appropri-
alton provided for in this amendment is
agreed to.
This motion resulted in long filibuster
which was interrupted by the demand for
the regular order.
The clerk then began calling the com
mittees for reports. Several trivial bills
were reported.
Then dozen members were on their
feet seeking recognition.
Mr.. Boatner was recognized and asked
unanimous consent to consider a bill
changing the judicial districts of Louisi-
ana. 1t was passed.
The House receded from it's amend
ments to the worlds fair bill
Again a dozen members were clamoring
for recognition.
Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas, who was recOg-
nized, asked unanimous consent to con
slider bill giving an Illinois corporation
authority to build dam across the Kan
sas river in Shawnee county, Kan.
Mr.. Brentz objected.
Mr.. MEYER CAUSES SCARE.
Mr. Meyer, of Louisiana, demanded the
regular order
Fifty men rushed toward him shouting,
"Io ou must not do that, and the Louisi-
ana congressman, who did not realize the
havoc his demand would have caused,
hurriedly withdrew it.
A resolution providing for the payment
of mem bers' clerks out of the miscellan-
eous funds of the House, passed.
Then the house. on motion of Mr.. Cobb,
of Alabama, paid a substantial tribute to
the late Chaplain Halfway, by ordering
the payment Of a years salary to his
widow.
At2:55 p. m. the Joint resolution passed
by the Senate extending the time of ad-
journment to 80 o'clock was presented.
The vote on the motion to order tellers
was then announced as l43 to 8.
Mr.. Hutchinson made the point of no
quorum.
MIR. Springer tried TO secure considera-
tion of the resolution extending the time
of adjournment TO 4:3O.
The speaker held that the motion was
not in order, while the point of mo quo
rum" was pending.
Mr. Richardson was forced to withdraw
his motion, in order to give Mr.. Catch
ings an opportunity to move TO suspend
the rules and adopt the Senate resolution
to extend the time of adjournment. 1t
was then 1858 o'clock Mr.. Hutchinson,
despite the appeals of hundred mem
bers. demanded a second on that motion.
Their pleadings were unavaihng, and at
o'clock while the House was dividing on
the demand for second, Speaker Crisp
arose and with rap of the gavel declared
i'm accordance with the adjournment reso-
luton passed, the hour of o'clock hav-
ing arrived, that the House stood ad-
journed sine die
Mr.. Hutchinson's last filibuster was
successful The light Of the House went
