Many Democr rats Not Present or Refuse

Cad bs Taken Up-A Bad Showing.
WASHINGTON. Jan. An air of ex-
pectant activity pervaded the House
when it convened this morning and
determination was manifested on the
Democratic side to carry things in its
own way today. Boutelle's success in
tying up the House yesterday after
noon appeared to have borne fruit, and
the Democrats seem to think they had
quorum of their own. immediately
after the reading Of yesterdays jour
nal, and before the beginning Of the
first morning hour, Boutelle again at.
tempted to get !lis Hawaiian resolution
before the House. The Speaker ruled
that the motion to consider the resolu
tlon which was pending yesterday had
expired when the House adjourned
yesterday and nigh! (ne suggested be
renewed.
The call of committees was then
completed without producing any re-
suits. The Speaker announced that the
terms of the regents of the Smithsoni-
an Institution having expired, it would
devOlYe upon him to appoint regents
for the ensuing term, and he accord
ingly named Wheeler Of Alabama,
Breckinridge of Kentucky, and HIT of
Illinois, as such regents, all being reap
poIntments.
| Boutelle then called up and had read
his resolution reciting that the eXecu.
tive had invaded the rights and privil-
| ege5 Of Congress, and ask for It's i'm
mediate consideration. This was the
signal for short, but exciting seLto
between Boutelle and McMllin-Wao
champions the administration end of
the controversy. MeMillin raised the
question of consideration in favor of
the tariff bill.
Boutelle inquired whetber it was
proper procedure to state for what pur-
pose question of consideration was
raised.
McMillin replied that he simply de.
sired to be candid with the gentleman
from Maine, and lad stated his reasons
for objecsing to the consideration OF
The resolution.
BoutelIe declared that the gentleman
from Tennessee had gone beyond his
parliamentary rights and he wished TO
call him to order.
Boutelle's resolution was then read
and be moved its immediate considera.
tion. The Speaker put the question to
the Honse.-Ola-yiya ,-Yoica vote. The
House divided on party lines, the ma
jorlty being against the consideration,
and thereupon Bou5elle demanded di-
vision.
The division resulted: Yeas SO, nays
124. Boutelle then demanded sellers.
but McMilnn called for the yeas aud
nays, as he said, to save time.
Boutelle was on his feet ina moment
with an objection to McMillin's form
of making a motion, and asserted that
be (Boutelle) was trying to consume
time. Naughter.)
The Republicans refrained from yos-
ing to take up the Boutelle resolution.
thereby hoping to break the quorum.
Oa the yeas and nays, there were $50
votes against consideration with 4 in
favor of it, the Republicans generally
refrainiug from voting. No quorum
having voted, McMillin demanded a
call of the House.
The call showed the presence Of 22S
members, and McMillin moved to dis.
pense with further proceedings under
it. The question then recurred on the
I consideration of Boutelle's resolution
and on. this the yeas and nays were
again ordered and the House settled
4 down to the monctonouS roll call. The
!, second call on the question Of consider
l alton of Boutelles resolution was al
!, most a repetition of the first, the Re
i pubicans as rule refusing to vote,
= and the D Democrats being able to mus
5 ter but $50 members. The Democrats
