more than quorum, but the latter disagreed
again when ii came 10 the voting point, and the
house at2 p m. adjourned without taking up the
tariff bill
WASHINGTON, Jan 5.-SENATE.-The session
OF the senate Thursday was significant in two
respects. Senator Hoar, of the republican side,
introduced a resolution calling on the secre.
tary Of the treasury for his authority for the
payment OF Special Commissioner Blount for
his Hawaiian services, and Senator Gray,
OF the democratic side, served notice that on
Tuesday next the democrats would insist upon

ecutive session, the senate at l:20 adjourned
until Monday next

HousE-Again Friday was day lost because
OF the inability to secure a quorum On We'd |
nesday kilograms were sent out to the absen- |
tees urging them to attend. and yet Friday |
those messages had not been productive of a |
quorum. Mr.. Boutelle, when the house opened, |
endeavored to get his privileged motion up, |
but the speaker recognized Gen Catchings |
who, as member of the committee on rules |
desired to report from that committee a rule |
assigning time for the tariff bill When Gen.
Catchings secured the report of his rule the |
motion for the previous question being made
the republicans and populists refrained from |
voting, and the result was nearly four hours of
almost uninterrupted roll calls and calls of the
house without the production of a quorum
There were enough democrats in town and at
me capital to have made quorum had they all |
