THECIR COUPLER MEASURE
An All-Night Session of the
House on the Bill.
USUAL SCENES ENACTED.
At 8 O'Clock This Morning FiIibuster.
ing Was Continued.
A Number of Efforts Looking to Adjourn
ment Fail-The sergeant-at-Arms
Sent After Absences No
Compromise Expected.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The House to-
day in committee of the whole resumed
consideration of the postoffice appropria-
ton bill. Nothing of Importance had
been accomplished when the hour fixed
for consideration of the car coupler bill
arrived, and the committee rose and Mr..
Wise moved that the Senate amendments
thereto be concurred in. Filibustering
then began and after various dilatory
motions vote was ordered on a motion
to adjourn until Thursday. No quorum
appearing, there were several attempts
made to reach a compromise.
Mr.. Hatch said he was sure friends OF
the bill would lose nothing if the House
adjourned now.
Mr.. Wise said: "The gentleman from
Missouri is endeavoring to persuade
friends of the bill that it is safe to adjourn,
and say to them it is not safe. -
The chair declined to decide the ques-
ton before it came up in regular order.
In short time the House became al
most hopelessly entangled in maze of
motions, counter motions and other evil
dences of filibustering. No quorum ap-
pearing the sergeant-a t-arms was sent to
bring in absentees, and for an hour or
more the House waited for his return.
An all-night session was then seen to be
at hand and the usual scenes were en-
acted. There were several amusing cpl
sodes, but now the session is a dreary
one. Shortly after midnight it was
stated the sergeant was unable to execute
the order of the House to arrest absentees,
and it was moved to adjourn, but the mo-
ton was defeated.
Mr.. Cummings charged that the oppo-
nents OF the bill were upheld by the rail-
roads, charge which Richardson indig
nantly denied.
At 3 this "wednesday morning fill
clustering was continuing with no immed-
late prospect of adjournment. There had
been no break in the lines on either side
and no prospect of any within reason
able time.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Report of the American Delegates Sub
mitted to the Senate.

Report of the American Delegates Sub
mitted to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The president
today sent to the Senate the report of the
American delegates to the International
Monetary conference. After referring to
the programme of the United States,
which was discussed in all its phases, the
delegates refer to the report of the COM
mittee of twelve which reported affirma-
lively upon one proposition that it was
wise to withdraw from the monetary cir
culat1on all gold coins, and all paper
money redeemable in gold, of a less de-
nomination than 81, 20 francs or 20 marks
and substitute silver money for them. In
the discussion of the various propositions
the attitude of nearly all governments
was disclosed. Recognition was general
in the conference that the monetary evil
required a remedy. After citing copiously
from the speeches made, the delegates
say the conference is to reconvene on the
Both of May, 1898.
In the meantimest is expected PROPOSE
tions and plans already submitted and
such others as may be submitted to the
president of the convention and by him
transmitted to several governments
through delegates, will be considered. 1t
is anticipated that the delegates upon the
reassembling of the conference will be
able to state definitely the view of their
respective governments as to what plans
are practicable to secure a greater use of
silver as a part of the metallic money of
the world.
In concluding their report the delegates
say they are glad to hear testimony to the
earnest wish of the conference that the
plan for the enlarged use of silver money
acceptable to the nations, and adequate to
the monetary situation, may result from
it's deliberations.
any kind are made.

IN BAD SHAPE.
Matters for the Closing Days of Congress
Not as They Should Be.

Matters for the Closing Days of Congres
Not as They Should Be.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. = Matters are
getting into pretty bad shape for the
closing days of the session. In addition
to the fight to be made to defeat the
sundry civil bill, there is going to be a
hard fight made against the Indian ap-
preparation bill. The whole policy of
Indian education established by Commits
sioner Morgan is going to be subjected to
an attack and it is understood that some
of the strongest men on the appropria-
lions committee are going to join in a
fight against the measure.
The silver men in the House claim they
will have strength enough to prevent the
passage of the sundry civil bill under any
parliamentary tactics that may be adopted
to get it through. They say they have
no hope OF getting the Sherman amend
ment out of the chances, but will defeat
the bill. They say their plans are all laid
and the force of flibusterers against the
bill will be almost as strong as is silver in
the House. They will fight it by every
means known to parliamentary procedure,
and they claim it will be impossible to
pass it under the rules to get signatures
enough to secure cloture. In fact they
regard it as certain they will defeat the
bill This of course would make an extra
session absolutely certain.

GOLD RESERVE.
The Question of Issuing Bonds Discussed
By the Cabinet.

The Question of Issuing Bonds Discussed
BY the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-The question
OF issuing bonds to keep the gold reserve
intact was discussed at today's cabinet
meeting. Secretary Foster is understood
to have stated that there were 81, 22S, 46S
free gold in the treasury, minus So, 900, 600
taken from the New York sub treasury
for export today.
1t is stated that Secretaries Rusk and
Elkins sustained the presidents provision
against the issue of bonds Mr.. Tracy,
it is believed, sided with Foster in favor
of the ISSUE. The result, it is stated on
good authority was a decision not to issue
bonds now.
1t cannot be learned that any alterna-
tive course of action was decided upon by
the cabinet, in case the free gold in the
treasury becomes exhausted. The feeling
seemed TO be that the emergency should
not be met before it actually arrived. 1t
is said that President Harrison is con-
WINGED that no necessity will arise for
sale of bonds to maintain parity of the
two metals. He has repeatedly declared
that he will maintain parity by every
means in his power.
The president is credited with the be-
lief that the demand for gold for export is
not only artificial, but is a part OF a
scheme, international in its scope, having
for its OBJECT the issue of bonds. When
it becomes apparent that no bonds will be
issued, his opinion is said to be that the
heavy drafts upon the treasury gold will
cease,

PANAMA INVESTIGATION.
The Committee Concludes Its Examina
ton of Colonel Thompson.

The Committee Concludes Its examine
ton of Colonel Thompson.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 20.-Judge
Patterson, congressman from Tennessee,
one of the Panama committee who was
here yesterday to examine Colonel Thomp-
son, said, before returning to Washing
ton today: 81 believe from the evidence
so far in hand that whatever may have
been done by the bankers and others con-
nected with the American committee,
Colonel Thompson was honest in all the
transactions he figured in, and if any
thing was crooked he was not in it. His
makeup is not that OF a jobber, but 1
won't say there were not jobs, and crook
edness, and gceat extravaganza on this
side of the water
Congressman Storer OF Ohio said: s'The
evidence showed that the bankers We're
engaged in an effort to form a syndicate
among themselves to buy up the assets OF
the Panama railroad company and sell it
to the canal company, so as TO have things
both coming and going. These bankers
received vast sums annually from the
Panama company for doing practically
nothing. Colonel Thompson does not
pretend to know what they did to receive
the great sums of $50 600 each per year,
making total of 81 ,2OOO, 600 during eight
years. 1t was nothing less than robbery"

1IoNTANA's CONTEST.
a Joint Session of the Legislature viii Be
Held Today.


HELENA, Mon, Feb. 21.-[Special. i
The legislature did not elect Senator to-
day, but decided that it must meet on
Washington's birthday and take ballot,
in order that the law might be fulf lied.
This question for the day absorbed more
attention than the balloting. Some held
that legal holiday is like Sunday, as far
as the legislature is concerned, but the
lieutenant governor decided otherwise,
and the joint assembly will meet tomor-
row and take another fruitless ballot.
The election of a Democrat in North
Dakota and the fact that the governor of
Wyoming will appoint Democrat, thus
insuring Democratic control of the Senate,
has solidified the factions Of the Demo
cratic party here and each will vote out
the session and lay the blame for failure
to elect on the other.
Mantle, the Republican nominee, has
secured the support of all the Republicans
except two and the one contingency that
can bring about an election is that Marcus
DAILY will swing five of his boiling Demo-
Gratis to his particular friend and protege,

waiian Annexation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The character
of the fight developed against the Ha-
waiian treaty has caused its friends con-

hasten it through, as the opposition is
gaining strength. Senator Allison is
counted among the opponents of the
treaty, and those who are fighting it say
today that it will be impossible to get a
two-thirds vote for it in the Senate.

revenues, was submitted to the Senate
without being submitted to the House

very earnest.
