WASHINGTON, d. c., April 7.-Ex-Speak-
er Reed is so sore over his recent disas-
trous encounter with Speaker Crisp that
he seems to have lost his sense OF dignity
and decorum. He shows his nasty temper
by fibustering whenever the opportunity
offers and obstructing public business in
every conceivable way. To-day be took
the almost unprecedented course OF
hlibustering against the delivering
Of eulogies on the late Senator Glib
son, OF Louisiana a thing which has not
been done before in many years. This pit
liable exhibition Of reckless spite even dis
gusted a good many Republicans and as
the only proper reply 10 il, q motion 10 ad-
iOurn was made bv Mr.. Sayres and was
carried This left Mr.. Reed in very un-
enviable plight, and If anything can, 1t
will reveal 70 him what small business he
has been engaged in. There is another
motive
BEHIND THE FILIBUsTERINa
which the Republicans are doing these
davs. They don't like the rapid way in
which the Democrats OF the House have
been disposing OF general business OF late:
They fear all the appropriation bills and
other necessary legislation OF the session
will be got through with in the course OF
few weeks and the House be ready to Rd
iourn. II at this time the Senate is still
pottering with the tariff. the country will
be given an object lesson which would be
apt TO raise an outcry against the Senate
DELAY which would be apt TO hasten the
pace Of that body. This the Republicans
wish TO avoid and TO do it they will seek to
DELAY business in the House as much as
possible, while the Republicans in the Sen
ate are pursuing the same course.
TWO WEEKS AGO
the House adopted an order instructing the
sergeant-at-arms TO arrest aosentees. I'm
mediately after the reading OF the journal
his report was submitted showing that al
absentees such as were not known to be
in the city had been summoned by tele-
graph. The report stated that seven OF
the absentees had appeared in their seats
since the order was made, six were absent
on account Of sickness, two were on
their way TO Washington and three had
made no reply to the summons.
Mr. Springer Qll,) moved 10 discharge
the warrant issued by the ergeant-at-arms
10 arrest absentees. The Republicans de-
clined to vote and the Democrats mustered
only % vots In favor or the mouon.
Mr. Reed made point of no quorum.
During the progress OF the roll call Mr..
Caldwell, who was last Tuesday elected
MAYOR OF CINCINNATI,
entered the hall and was given an ovation.
The Speaker bowed to hIm from the ros-
trum, and on both sides Of the House the
mempers applsuded cordially. The Re
pu0icsns dld not vote in the roll call and
the announcement, 137 to Z, developed the
lack Of quorum. A call OF the House
was ordered.
The call developed the presence Of 233
members. Further proceedings were dis
pensed with and the vote recurred on the
motion to discharge the warrant OF the
Sergeant alarms. Again the Repuoli-
cans refused to vote and again the Demo
cratic quorum failed. This time they were
twentv-three short Mr.. Sayres Dem,
Texas then moved to adjourn, and upon
this motion Mr.. Reed forced the yeas and
nays. The motion was carried, % to so,
and the House then al 2:lO p. m. ad-
iourned.
