WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.--When th0
House met this morning the chances apsi|
peared 10 be that the deadlock whicM
has existed for he last four days. for1
lack OF Demo cratic Quorum, would b 4
broken and that the tariff debate would
begin to-day.
The deputies of the Sergeant-at-ArmD4
had brought back to Washington enough
members under arrest to fill out the
quorum. There was a better attendancol
In the galleries than on any day since
the reconvcning after the holiday recess.
and the floor of the House fairly swarmed
with members.
Tie members under arrest by the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the House Under the
resolution adopted Saturday were: Brown

question of pri, !lcge. himself invaded ne
privileges, dignity and honor OF the
Eouse. and that this point having peen(

10 the House itself to determine whethez7
Its privileges had been absolutely anro-'

and confusion. Members crowded down
about the Speakers rostrum.

dignity and privileges of the House Were
being invaded. he decided that II was'
not n question for the Chair TO deter

Under the rule to which he REFERRED
and the ruling he had cited, Mr.. Bouteiie
Insisted that his point of order should be
submitted directly to the House.

original order, but takes on four days
to make up for those lost last week.
