WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Repub-
licans continued the deadlock in the
affairs of the house today in order to
prevent Tucker from reporting his bill
repeating the federal election laws to the
house. They are determined that the
bill shall not receive place on the cal
endar until the Democrats produce a
quorum, In their policy of delay they
were again joined by General Tracey and
a small number of administration Dem
ocrats, who are opposed to going ahead
with the Tucker bill at this time. The
revoking Of all leaves Of absence, by an
order yesterday. bore fruit to the extent
OF 40 additional Democrats today, but
leaving them still 81 Ehort of quorum,
exclusive of-those who are acting with
General Tracey.
Burrows renewed his motion to dig
pense with the call of committees, in
order to prevent the bill from being re-
ported. A roll call was ordered. Reed
walked up and down the aisles, shaking
his head. The Republicans obeyed their
leader and refrained from voting. The
administration Democrats fed to the
cloak room to avoid answering to their
names. The vote resulted: Yeas J.,
nays 146-no quorum. 1t developed q
gain OF 40 votes for the Democratic, leav-
ing them 81 short of . quorum. A call
OF the house was ordered. The call de-
veloped the presence os 237 members.
The filibustering today lasted till 2
O'Clock. when. Dv a Dreyioue order of the
house, eulogles on the late Representa-
tive Chapman of Michigan were deliv-
cred. The house then adjourned.
Mr.. Tucker and his colleagues hardly
expect to be able to muster quorum
tomorrow, and on Monday the house
will participate in a body in the cere-
monies attending the centennial cele-
bration OF the laying OF the corner stone
OF the capitol. On Tuesday. however.
they confidently anticipate the prescribe.
Of their own quorum, and then they will
be able to brush aside the opposition Of
the Republicans.

SENATE PRooErD1Nos.
Lindsay Speaks I'm Favor OF Repea

Lindsay Speaks I'm Favor of Repeal
and Defends Carlisle.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-In the senate
today, the speech Of Senator Lindsay Of
Kentucky and his defense Of Secretary
Carlisle, whose successor in the senate
he is, was received most attentatively.
Tomorrow eulogies will be delivered
upon the late Senator STANFORD of
California.
Among the petitions presented today
was one by Cullom of Illinois, from ex.
soldier residents of his state, alleging
that they are beset by detectives of the
government travelling in disguise, se.
cretly cooperating with those who have
been distinguished for antipathy for
those who fought for the flag. 1t is al
legged that the apies with friendly pre-.
lenses visit the homes OF pensioners and
with the basess hyprocisy and fawning
deception, seek to find some clue to fur
nish to the pension Office to deprive the
old veterans of PENSIONS. The petition
crs ask protection from the methods al
the government officers who attempt to
brand pensioners as perjurers and Grim
inals without the right of being heard
in their own defense.
Cullom said tho petition contained
very serious allegations which, if true,
should be brought to light.
Manderson (Rep.) of Nebraska, sub
mitted resolution wich went over till
tomorrow, asking information OF the
interior department as to the abolition
or consolidation of the land Offices in
Nebraska. Other states were included
at the suggestion of different senators.
Manderson said il Offices were abolished
or consolidated in Nebraska, it has been
| done without consultation with the
congi essional delegation from that
state.
In the beginning of his speech in
favor of the repeal bill, Lindsay called
attention TO the fact that the bill now
under confederation contains not q word
looking to the discontinuance OF silver
coinage under the existing laws, and
leaves unimpaired the provisions of the
act of 1890 for tie coinage OF silver in
the future. He characterized as most
extraordinary the position that we
ought not, bad as the present law is,
repeal it until it is known what future
legislation in the interest OF silver the
president will propose. He said he had
read the presidents message in vain to
find the evidence upon which Senator
Pugh rests his belief that the president
does not intend to keep faith with the
party and the people.
Lindsay then took up the charge oil
inconsistency 40 frequently made OF late
against Secretary Carlisle, and defended
him at length against the accusations.
At the conclusion OF Lindeay'e speech
Moroan (Dam \ nf Alaha mn anoha IN IN
position to repeal, and was followed by
Higgins (Rep.) of Delaware in favor OF
repeal. Higgins said in his opinion the
remedy was to stop the purchase of sill
yer and see whether such action, coupled
with that of India, would not compel
England and Europe to resume the free
coinage Of silver.
At the conclusion OF Higgins's speech
the senate, after q short executive ses
aion, adjourned.

the ad valorem duty opened too many
avenues for fraud.

Chicago triumphed. She raised the money

One story of Booths trip to the Sand
witch Islands remains with me. He had
gone there in 1854 in company with his
comrade, Mr.. David G. Anderson, en-
route to Australia, and they were to'play
in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They
had hired native to paste up the bills
announcing the performance. This had
to be done with preparation named
"poe-poe," made from vegetable called
"tara-tara,' which is fayorite food in
Honolulu, but the poor man was so hun
cry that yielding to temptation he incon-
tinently ate up the paste, and to their
surprise no bills appeared. When the
reason was ascertained, they feared to
trust another native, and it was there

to pass that every night after the per-

ers announcing what the company would
play on the following night. And he as
sured me that he did this honestly and
did not eat any of the pastei-William
