tories during the morning hour today,

House go into committee of the whole
upon the state of the union for the
consideration of the bill for the admis-
sion of Utah.
The vote being taken, all the DEM
ocrats present voted aye. and tn Re
publicans refrained from voting.
Mr. Dingley, Republican, of Maine.
made the point that no quorum had
voted.
The ayes and nays were then de-
manded.
One hundred and forty-five (an Dem
ocrats) voted aye
The Republicans, to break a quorum,
again RETAINED from voting.
These dilatory proceedings on the
part of the Republicans, exhausted
the morning hour. and. of course the
matter went over.
a further effort to consider the bill
will be probably made in the morn
ing or Monday.
If found to be necessary. the COM
mittee on rules will report fixing a
time for consideration. and vote upon
the bill
There is no longer any doubt of its
passage through the House, as the
Democrats are solidly in favor Of it.
Mr.. Trumbo and other Republicans
are greatly chagrined at the conduct
of their party associates in the House.
They are beseeching Messrs. Reed,
Dingley and others not to antagonize
the bill
How much success they will have
remains to be seen
Mr. Rawlins is assured by Speaker
Crisp and Congressman Catchings and
many leading Democrats that if the
Republicans persist in flibustering. the
committee on rules will take early
action.
Mr. Rawlins has also talked with a
number of senators and finds the
Democrats in that body practically
unanimous for the early consideration
of the Utah bill after, its passage, If
the Senate and Senator Faulkner, as
shown by his talk with IN Associated

THE BILL sTRANGLED.
OF Goes the Head of Torrey's Bank
ruptcy Measure

Washington, Dec. SIN the House,
Kilgore, of Texas, called up bill to
admit Utah to statehood and Republi-
cans began TO f1libuster.
The morning hour expired without
action on the bill, the House went into
committee of the whole on the bank
ruptcy bill.
It was strangled unexpectedly by the
House just as the considering of the
bill under the I'VE minutes rule was
about TO begin.
Oates, champion of the measure had
declined to permit the House to vote
on Bailey's substitute, providing simply
for voluntary system of bankruptcy,
whereupon Bland precipitated the en-
tire question by moving to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill
Vainly the advocates of the measure
protested it was unfair to reject the
bill before the House had had a chance
10 perfect it by amendment. The plead
ings were unavailable. The vote was
decisive, and was carried by a majority
of 142 20 III.
Judge Torrey, the author of the
measure, who has been here ten years,
promoting the interests of the bill, sat
disconsolately in the gallery. The vote
was not a strict party One-the analy-
sis shows lis Democrats and Is Repub-
licans; nine Populists voted to strike
9 4 the enacting clause and 81 Repub-
leans and AZ Democrats against It.
