A Successful Fiiibusscr.
An attempt to drive the bill for the atl-
mission of Ciah as state through tie
house during the morning hour was de-
fcated by n detcrmened ililibuster led by
DiLslcy. supported by almost the entire
Republican side. The course of the Re-
publicans foreshadows their policy upon
the Democratic territories of New Mexico
and Arizoaia. bills for which have al
ready been favorable reported by the COM
mittee Oh territories. Dingley, in ex-
the Republicans was due partly to OPP
position TO the consideration of such an
important bill durin: the morning, hour
and partly to opposition TO the bill itself.
Proceeding. in the House.
The only business the house did was to
strike on. the enac;in: clause of the Tor
rry bankruptcy bill aud thus Kill il, by the
decisive vote of AZ io Ill. the affirmative
vote being composed of il5 Democrats, IS
Rcpublicuns, and . Populists. Unless the
hill j. sent to committee with instructions
IL will never be heard OF again. Adjourned
TO Monday.
