WASHINGTON. Feb. o. The House Of Repre-
sentatives is again in deadlock. brought about
by the unsuccessful attempt OF the Admins
tfation men to pass q resolution endorsing
only part OF the Presidents DISASTROUS Hs-
wailan policy. The resolution has been de-
bated in the House OF Representatives for four
days and the order Of procedure adopted last
Friday provided that at half past 3 o'clock to-
day the vote should be taken.
The Republicans determined yesterday that
they would decline to vote on the adoption Of
the resolution. and thus leave to the Demo-
Gratis the task Of commenting a policy which
a large majority OF them had privately and
publicly condemned. Many Democratic mem-
bers. however. not caring TO go upon record
as favoring tho policy Of infamy. and hes
itating also to formally vote against IT, re-
NAMED away from tho House. and when the
final vote was taken the Administration lacked
nineteen votes OF enough TO pass the white
washing resolution.
In the present House there are 2lS Demo-
Gratis 127 Republicans. and II Populists. In
dependents. Silverites. &c. total OF 356. maxi

when the vote upon the McCreary resolution
endorsing the acts OF the Administration was
taken. one hundred and seventy nine votes

taken.
The Administration leaders hore that tho
rebelilous Democrats will be on hand to- NOR
