Of Speaker Crisp suffering with se-

The Democrats were evidently very
an xious when the house met to extri-
cate themselves from the complications
arising from the wholesale arrest of
mem bers, bnt by flank movements the
Republican: succeeded in preventing
this until the whole situation had been
thoroughly ventilated
The members of the house uuder ar
rest were finally discharged from cns-

ceedings under the call It required
follr hours to accomplish this and al
though the scene Of diserderiy turbu-
Ience which characterized Thursdays
proceedings was not repeated. the pro-
ceedings were fully rs interesting.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
Of the day, barring Nh Bland's bitter
philippic against the tilibustering Dem
oerats. was the veroal duel between

for lack Of quorum. It lacked only
two votes, however, and this is hign-
water mark

many OF rhe Democrats believe it
