HOUSE PNOCEEDINGs.

Dir. bland Fails to Secure Quorum.
EH-SpcnEcr Reed Makes II Suggestion.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lG.-Mr. Bland to.
day began his coercivo tactics to com.
pei vote on the allyor seiGniorago bill.
The bulk OF the Republicans and tho
Democratic opponents OF the measure
inauguratcd iilibuster with the inteu.
ton OF forcing him 10 produce quorum
OF tho advocates OF the bill TO pass it,
and the'entirc day was consumed in
roll calls. The highes. number OF votes
Mr.. Bland was able to poll was 1913 in
favor OF his demand for the previous
question on the motion TO close debate.
VI these, l45 were Democrats, nine
PopuIlsts and nine Republicans. Mr..
Page, OF Rhode Island, and Mr.. Ryan,
oi New York, refused to join the tilibus-
ter, but voted against the motion. Tho
Republicans who voted with Mr., Bland
were as follows: Bowers, California;
Frederick, Doolittle, Funston, Marsh,
Hermann. Post and Sweet.
At 4 o'clock MIR. Bland abandoned
any further attempt TO secure n
quorum to-day, and alter passing
resolution instructing the sergcant-at-
arms to telegraph for absentees, 70.
cess was taken until S o'clock. the even
ing session being devoted to the con-
sideration Of private pension bills. Mr..
Bland expresses tho opinion that he
will have quorum present tomorrow,
but the general impression is that he
will not bo able to secure the quorum
until Monday.
During the proceedings to-day Mr..
Reed suggested that public business
could proceed without such resolution
II the apeaker would count q quorum.

served that some OF the friends OF the

come convinced from an investigation
OF all tho facts that Mr. Peckham was
well fitted for tho supreme bench. He
called attention to the fact that eminent.
lawyers OF New York and elsewhere had
spoken in the highest terms OF him. He
stated that lawyer who had personally
known all thesupremc judges for twenty
years and had been acquainted with
Mr.. Pcckham during TINT time as well,
had assured him that the nominee was
entirely capable Of filling the Office. The
