Mr.. Bland began his coercive tactics to
compel vote on the silver seigniorage
bill. The bulk of the Republicans and
the Democratic opponents Of the meas
ure inaugurated filibuster witt the in
tenticn of forcing him to produce a
quorum of the advocates of the bill to
pass it. and the entire day was consumed
in roll calls. The highest number of
votes MIR. Bland was able to poll was
163 in favor of his demand for the pre-
vious question OH the motion to close de-
bate. Of these 145 we're Democrats, 8
Populists and 9 Republicans. Mr.. Page
(R. l.i and Mr.. Ryan IN. W refused to
join the tlibuster, but voted against the
motion. The Republicans who voted with
Mr.. Bland are as follows: Bowers (Cal.)
Broderick, Doolittle, Funston, Marshal,
Hermann, Post and Sweet. Mr.. Bland
abandoned any further attempt to secure
n quorum, and the house passed u reso.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Ihe Democratic
members of the senate committc on
finance have decided that they will not
be able to report the tariff bill to the
full committee on Tuesday next, as they
had announced they would be, and one
of the members of the subcOmmitte which
has had the bill under consideration said
today that be would not attempt to say
when the bill could be reported. II shall
be very well satisfied" he said, ''if the
bill is in shape to be reported by the
beginning of next week." The reason fol-
the postpOneulent is discovered in the fact
that the work of satisfying Democratic
senators has been found very difficult
one, and the construction of bill that
is sure TO be accepted by them, the un.
dertaking requiring many changes of pur.
pose and alterations oft he figures Al
first made. When the subcommittee he.
gan their work they had before them the
draft of bill upon which it was believed
it would be an easy matter to secure
agreement, but this bill has been changed
in some respects several times and has
become SO worn from handling and eras.
ures that it has become necessary to
destroy the original copy and replace il
with a new Que. There is still much de.
mand for concessions on the part OF
senators ON minor items, and many of the
most important features in the bill are
unacted upon. Sugar is included in this
list and it looks us if its fate would be
about the last question to be determined
by the subcommittee.
The fight over the silver seigniorage
bill was resumed in the house today
and MIR. Bland is confident that there
will be 4 quorum on hand to order the
previous question tomorrow. Once the
necessary quorum is obtained, and that
is only question Of time, as the Oppo
rtnts Of the measure have practically
abandoned hore Of defeating the bill, il
will be brought to Il vote if need be by
u special order from the committee on
rules, the speaker having promised 9
special rule il the emergency demands it
Minor matters occupied the attention
of the senate to-day Senators Daniel
Caffery and White of California have
notice of speeches OH the Hawaiian reso
luton for this week, and it is probabl
that other senators will speak upon th,
subject before next Saturday.
A Woman Of Action.
Glcnwood, Minn., Feb 2O.-A sensa
