AoCk lasting until SOU LllS evening" re-
suited in a draw. The Senate amend
ment TO the Urgency Deficiency bin, pro-
vidiug pay for Senate employees during
the recess and Ffty-frst Congress, is
now the only bar TO adjournment to-
morrow. The Senators on the confer
epce committee declare they will never
recede, aud the House seems equally
determined not to accept the amend
ment.
The galleries Of the House were al
most deserted this morning when it
convened, and not over 100 members
we're on the floor.
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal Cen Catchings, from the Com
mittee on Rules, reported therssOlutiOn
for 6nal adjournment tomorrow at
O'Clock
Judge Holman, Of Indiana, argued
against adjournment and in favor Of a
recess, 10 order that the committees
might have an opportunity TO work be-
tween now aad The. beginning Of
TIE REGULAR SESSION.
"Wall street has 20 further use for
us, shouted Mt. Bland.
The vote was then AIKEN by a yea and
nay and the resolution was csrrIed-134
10 So.
Mr.. Wilson, Chairman Of Ways
and Meaus Committee, asked unanimous
consent for the consideration OF resO-
luton TO permit the Ways and Means
Com mittee 20 sit during the adjourn
ment Ard TO file with reports any oils,
and providing that il filed such bills
q. 4 reports shall be mailed TO each
member. This had reference 70 the
tariff bin.
Mr.. Reed objected, explaining that
the minority should have fair and de-
cent opportunity 90 examine aud pre-
pare q minority report on bill OF such
importance as a tariff bin before its
presentation. Mr Catchings, from the
Committee on Rules, presented
special rule FOR the consideration Of
MR.. Wilson'S RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Reed said the resolution was un-
satisfactory in character aud unreason-
able in It's demands The country was
entitled 20 speedy information as % the
new tariff bin and If he thought Oppo-
sitiop TO the resolution would delay in
formation he would hesitate TO oppose
+ IL. But the resolution would neither
T give she country Information nor ad-
vance the dill. The matter Of tariff was
committed 20 the Ways and Means Com
mittee duly authorized TO- act upon 10,
vet that committee has not held a sin
Ele meeting, nor indeed has the subject
seen alluded 10 in the committee. All
the majority members Of the committee
had TO do was TO report the results OF
the work OF some gentleman at present
unknown. It would be unjust TO the
minority 20 expect them 70 get together
and In q Jew days prepare q report on
the bill.
Mr.. Wilson said the resolution was
designed 20 give the country the benefit
OF the earliest possible information con-
cerning the proposed legislation and TO
get the bill through all the preliminary
committee stages, so that its cOnsidera-
tiOu could begin Immediately after the
regular session convened. There was,
, he continued, no mystery about the
preparation of a tariff 0ill. The minor
ity we're not ignorant Of what was
going on. He had himself invited
EVERY REPUBLICAN MEMBER
OF the committee, With the possible ex-
ceDtiOn of Mr. Reed, who was absent, Co
come % the committee room aud see
at was going on. Ia this case the
nOcrats had not been compelled TO
on the benefciaries. They had
h trying 20 do justice % the people
the tax payers, and they had been
king faithfully preparing a revenue
that would meet the verdict OF the
pie. 1--WE want IL put through the
iamentarv stages before Congress
5enes i'm regular session." he con-
,lded, "and we do not want 10 be
guilty OF the discourtesy OF giving the
bin TO the public before we have SUBJ
mitte1 it % the minority of the commit
tee. When Congress cOnvenes we desire
10 enter upon the duty committed 70 Us
~ the american people" IApplauSe.
Mr.. Reed responded briefly and then
the vote was taken.
The Republicans i'm the House
REFUSED Td3ANswER
TO their names on the Wilson resolution
and there was not a quorum Of Demo
Gratis in the House, the yeas being Isl
and the nays /.
Mr.. CatchingS, Of Mississippi at once
entered q motion 20 reconsider the vote
by which tee House had agreed 20 ad-
iourn on Friday. He said the motion
would be entered aud the resolution re-
called from the Senate.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, asked II mo-
ton could be entered when there was no
quorum, and the Speaker said IL could
be, or the member might lose the OPP
DOrtunity 10 enter his motion.
Mr. Wilson, OF West Virginia, at
once moved a call Of the House.
A resolution was adopted reVOking
leaves Of absence, and instructins the
Sergent-at-Arms 10 arrest absenteeS.e
The call developed the prs 3e OF
PA members.
At 3I5 Executive Clerk Prudden
announced the Presidents approval OF
the repeal bill.
For three hours the mem0ers OF the
House waited patiently for the appear
apce OF absentses. Meantime the
5ergsantat-Arms were securing the
