SPECIAL ORDERS.
Important Meeting of Members of
Committee on Rules.

Committee on Rules.
Washington, Aug. Is. - Democratic
members of the committee on rules called
on Messrs. Reed and Burrows, the repub-
lican members, and submitted to them
the form of the orders they desired to
pass. The first one covered the passage
of a resolution resembling the action of
the House in requesting further confer
ence upon the disagreeing votes of the
two houses upon the tariff bill, discharg-
ing of the conference from further duty,
and agreeing to the Senate amendments
in bulk. Upon this rule the democrats
suggested one hours debate, half hour
on each side.
The second order proposed the adop-
tion of a special rule making it in order
to proceed at once. upon their introduc-
ton, to the consideration of bills placing
sugars, raw and refined, coal iron ore
and barbed wire upon the free list, with
out reference to any report from the com
mittee. A half hours debate was Sug-
gested as sufficient time upon this PROPOSE
tion.
Owing to the absence of Mr. Outh-
waite, the democratic members Messrs.
Crisp and Catchings, were unable to
overcome the opposition of Messrs. Reed
and Burrows. Adjournment of the COM
mittee was taken without action, and the
republican members consulted with their
associates. 1t was said that if the re-
publican members would agree to report
the rule, the period for discu ssion could
probably be extended to five hours, and
the committee members were advised to
agree to that concession of time,
Representative Cultivate of Ohio,
whose absence from Washington pre-
vented the democratic members of the
committee on rules from agreeing TO re-
port the order of business on the tariff
bill adopted by the democratic caucus, re-
turned to the city unexpectedly this after
noon and went at once to the House of
Representatives. The committee on
rules will have a meeting Immediately
and likely order the business provided for
to be put through before adjournment to-
day.

WILL RETALIATE.
Silver Men in the House Say They
Will Give Filibusterers Dose of
Their Own Medicine.
They Will Block All Legislation, Even
to Appropriation Bills, Until
Vote Is Secured
Upon the Bland SeigniOrage Measure.
Confident They Could Break a
Quorum.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Representa-
tive Fithian, one of the active lieuten-
ants of Mr.. Bland in the silver debate,
says that the silver men will block ap.
preparation bills and bring every elias
of legislation to halt until the opposi-
ton to the pending silver bill consents
to lot vote be taken. Mr.. Fithian said
in speech Monday that the silver men
would be justified in such a course, but
later he went further and said they
would effectually carry out the plan.
He says it applies to all
OF the great appropriation bills
for carrying on the government
and the local measures for public build
ings, rivers and harbors and general
improvements. 1t will apply also to
general measures of legislation, such as
the bankruptcy bill or banking meas
ures now on the calendar awaiting a
hearing.
Mr.. Fithian was asked if the commit
tee on rules could not bring in a special
rule giving the appropriation bills the
right of way. He said the bill would
have to be passed by the house, and he
intimated that the silver men were
strong enough to defeat such plan.
He is confident they can bring all legis-
legislation to a standstill until the silver
question is voted upon.

1T WAS SPIRITED.

Proceedings of the Senatorial Caucus En-
1ivened by Another Speech by Brice.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The Demo-
cratic senatorial caucus was the scene of
another spirited speech by Senator Brice
made in reply to speeches by members
of the finance committee, in which one
of them, presumably Senator Vest, had
said that what concessions had been
made, had been made at the point
Of the bayonet. Mr.. Brice said that
apparently they had undertaken to
catch two senators from Louisiana with
the sugar bait, and had made arrange
ments for other voters by making con-
cessions on a few other articles If these
additions were to be made, and an
otherwise ideal bill made to fit the re-
gions west Of the Mississippi to catch
these votes, Mr. Brice wanted to know
what was to be done to hold the support
of the senators from the lat-
tude represented by himself and the
senators from New York and New Jer-
sey, and, he ad ded, that if the many in
terests of those great states could not be
given consideration, he saw no course
open to those senators bnt to arm them
selves with bayonets and pursue the
course Of their more successful COL
leagues.
Cotton Machinery Free.
The only definite action of the forego-
ing concession consists in decision to
place machinery for cotton manufacture
ing upon the free list. This concnssion
was granted at the request of the Miss
issippi senators, who urged it because
Of the fact that they represented the cot
ton manufacturing industry which was
rapidly growing in Importance in the
South. lThe proposition caused consider
able debate, and more or less reference
to favoritism, because of sectional lines.

Hon. ThOs. e. Hill, the author Of "Hills
important work under the title ''Money

yetcOnservative remedy for the present
business depression and distress among
working men. He argues that the main
cause of the country's distress is lack Of
those mis-catled national" and that the
true remedy is for the government to
open its own banks, pay three per cent on
long time deposits, besides receiving de-
pOsits subject to check without interest,
and lend money to every one having good
security. at four per cent. This plan, Mr..
Hill holds, will bring instant relief alike
to those who have no safe place of deposit
for their savings and to those who are
obliged to pay exorbitant rates of inter
est under the present system. 1t will also
enable all business to be done with
checks, and will thus make stealing i'm
possible. 1t will not add to the cost of
government, but will on the other hand
afford q net revenue of nearly S40O,00000O.

regarding the property upon which
Chief Engineer P. 81. Arthur pays the

courthouse shows that last year Mr..
Arthur paid taxes upon real estate upon
listed valuation of 1860.
