IN ras HOUSE.

Members, Worn Gut with All Night
Session, Take Little Interest.
WAsHINGToS CIrx, Feb. 22.-The dead
lock in the house over the car coupler bill
continued througA0l1t the night session
without anything HkItstSr having been
accomplished. The house at $50 this
morning adjourned. There was private
agreement that Wise should be recognized
on Monday to move to suspend the rules
and pass the bill. Only about two dozen
members were present at the opening
house for the day session. Henderson Of
North Carolina moved that the house 60
into committee of the whole for the con.
sideration of the postofice appropriation
bill. Hatch at once antagonized the mo-
ton with his anti-option bill. The house,
however, by a vote Of 14l to Ga, decided to
take up the postoffice appropriation bill,
and it was passed.
Then Peel. with his Indian appropria-
tion bill, and Hatch. with his anti-option
bill, sought recognition. Hatch was again
defeated. 1O2 to 81. on rising vote favor
ing Peel. Hatch demanded the yeas and
nays. The house, however, refused to con-
slider the anti-option bill, and went into
committee of the whole on the Indian ap-
preparation bill.
The house broke into q roar of laughter
when the speaker called Hatch to the
chair as presiding officer. The general de-
bate was limited to three hours. Peel.
chairman Of the committee, spoke in ex-
PLANTATION of the bill, and large part Of
his speech was devoted to an argument in
advocacy of a reduction in the territory
allotted to the Indians, and he was in
favor of the passage of the bill to ratify
the agreement for opening the Cherokee
strip. The members of the house were
worn out from last nights session. and
many left the building after the general
debate, and those who remained took but
ianguid interest in the proceedings. When
the debate closed Cultivate submitted q
conference report on the army appropria-
ton bill in order that it might be printed.
After Hooker unsuccessfully endeavored
to get unanimous consent to pass bill for
the relief of Mississippian and an.
nounced his solemn intention to be .
thorn In the side of every other member
who wanted any legislation until his bill
was passed, the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON CiTY, Feb. 22-lspecial +
The metropolitan Republican newspapers
in the East have begun to notice the sena-
torial contest at Olympia since the settle
ment of the fight in North Dakota. Such
leading papers as the Philadelphia Press.
the New York Tribune and the Baltimore
american have indicated that the election
of Democratic senator by Republican
legislature in North Dakota shows that
strange things can be accomplished
when q small minority in q legis-
lature is able to defeat the will of
the majority. Attention in being called to
the fact that although the Republicans
have big majority in the Washington
state legislature, there is yet danger that
some sort of a combination may be formed
by disgruntled Republicans. Populists and
Democrats, BY which che will Of the people
of the state will be defeated in the matter
Of settling the senatorial contest now pend
ing at Olympia. Naturally, of course, they
do not think it is possible that in
view of the fact that Senator Allen has
had two to one majority among the Re-
publican legislature. small minority will
bolt so as to prevent the election of .
Republican senator. It is argued that if
the defeat of Senator Allen is ever brought
about it must be brought about by bolting
Republican members forming combina-
ton with the other two parties.
As telegraphed the Posr-INTELLroEScER
last night. the situation at Olympia is still
an interesting topic of discussion among
politicians in the capitol city. Prominent
Republican politicians feel that an injus-
tice is not only being done Senator Allen,
but there is grave danger that if the dead
lock is continued the interests of the Re
publican party in Washington state will
be very badly injured and the result may
be that the control of the state will be lost
to the Republican party in the future.
The only fair settlement that can be made
as believed by those men is to re-elect Mr..
Allen. They urge as strongly as ever that
the majority should rule and that the
minority should find it to the best inter-
ests of themselves and the Republican
party to succumb to the majority.

last speaker of the evening was Judge J.

who said that the legislation OF

be stricken from the statute books.
In fact, he said. that not an ounce of silver
was ever produced in any country at .

OF State Foster sent today to the chairman
OF the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions the statement Paul Neumann left at

wise her restoration under any other cir
cumstances. If congress does not deem .

objects to the continuance of the present
provisional government in power.
