Times Appointed for Oklahoma.
Washington, Sept 6.-The apparent
victory gained by the silver men in the
Senate yesterday in getting an adjourn
ment, together with Mr.. Voorhees, aban-
donment of his proposition to meet at IL
o'clock, has excited some little talk of
recuperation on the part of the silver
forces, but these things amount to little.
Really there is no change in the situation,
and no indication of gaining strength by
the silver men. The passage of the re-
peal bill is certain, but may be somewhat
slow. Legitimate discussion will not be
curtailed, but if speaking purely for delay
reigns, then means will be found to put
au end to il speedily.
Senator Morgan's proposition for joint
committee of the Senate and House to
consider the financial question is quite
faYorably received.

adherents will fight it to the end.

Mr.. CatchingS, member of the commit
tee on rules, said that since the recess
last Saturday many members on the dem
ocratic side had asked the committee on
rules to accept the amendment, and the
committee had thought it proper TO ac-
cede to that request. The committee had
no desire to force anything upon the
House
There was some sarcastic criticism Of
the latter action of the rules committee
from the republican side, but when the
vote was reached MIR, kyies amendment
was agreed TO llSt 81.
REFORMS THAT SHOULD HAVE CARRIED.
Mir Enloe offered an amendment, pro-
viding that eulOgies ON deceased mem
bers of the House and Senate shall be de-
ivered on Sundays, and no other days.

to 104 10 Il, but on the yeas and nays it
was rejected-yeas "a, nays ll9
MIR Enloe then offered an amendment,
to prevent the delivery OF eulogies at any
time The amendment was lost-yeas ~,
nays 11S.
On motion of Mr.. Heard, dem, of Mis-
sour1, and without objection, an amend
ment was agreed to devoting the second
and fourth Mondays OF each month to the
consideration of business reported by the
committee on the District Of Columbia
The amendment merely strengthens the
language in the rule as reported.
MOTION TO ''DoCK" ABSENT MEMBERS.
Mr.. Dearmond offered an amendment
directing the sergeant-at-arms to deduct
from the salary Of each member for the
daYs Of his absence, except on account of
sickness or by leave Of the House. Lost
yeas 10; nays 172.
Consideration of the code having been
completed, Mr.. Burrows offered as a sub
stitute for it the rules of the Fifty-first
congress. The substitute was lost-yeas
90; nays 14S.
THE RULES ADOPTED.
The code of rules was then adopted
without division, and Mr.. Henderson of
Iowa, who was standing beside the petit
tion box, dropped in the West petition
under the rules. 1t was an unimportant
one.

Virginia, the committee on ways and
means was granted leave to sitduring the
sessions of the House

lutionary Defiance of Law.

lutionary Defiance of Law.
London, Sept 6.-The Duke Of Argyle
resumed the debate on the homo rule bill
in the House of Lords to-day. Home
rule, he said, would be 4 revolution made
in defiance Of existing law. 1t differed
from all previous political changes in
Great Britain, for these had been based
on an expansion of constitutional law 1t
was an attempt TO frame a new constitu-
tlon and break up the old one, and must
lead to irregularities which could have
no other issue than n long series Of ma
tional disasters, The duty Of the House
Of Lords dictated plainly that they should
throw out the bill and give the people
time to pause.

declared that if Lord Clare's advice had
been taken at the date of the union, a
