WAsHINCTON, ID. c., February 25.-
The battle over the Bland seigniorage
bin viii 90 merrily on in the House this
week Despite the many reversss Mr..
Bland has met 10 his attempt TO procure
a quorum, he is as determined as ever
20 fight it out on this line IN it takes All
winter. III be does not succeed, how
ever, in the course Of few days, 10 is
not probable that the speaker aud his
associates on the Rules Committee will
permit his BIN 90 longer block she path
OF business As the opponents OF the
measure have now adopted an open
fubusteriug policy, rule will
be formulated by the Committee
on Rules to morrow morning
to prevent this and bring the vote down
directly 10 Nr. BANDS motion. A eau
Gus will be- held tomorrow night or
Tuesday 90 consider the question Of an
amendment 90 the rules which will
either give the Speaker the power 20
count quorum or place 10 in hiS power
20 compel a member 90 vote with the
alternative OF bn.ng him. While 10
would seem from the number who
signed the caucus call-116-that a
majority of the Democrats favor some
method of
PREVENTING FUrBUSrEElNG,
some of the leading members do not de-
sire Co push such a modification OF the
rules at the end of this long fight
With eighty majority they think they
should first v.ndICate their ability 20
extricate themselves from the present
humiHatiug position and afterwards,
they argue. the events OF The past TWO
weeks would furnish ample justification
for such a mod 6caton of the rules.
Tue outlook for the week Is, there
fore. Full OF contingencies. The strug-
gle over the Bland bin may drift into
big parliamentary contest over change
in the rules, in which event there will
be- some bitter opposition manifested
from the Democratic side, especially it
the proposed rule co0temp.ates lodging
i1 the Speakers hand the power 10
count quorum.
Pending the result OF the silver light,
ure. no matter what they may favor
with regard 90 a change Of the rules as
An abstract proposition, will contest
anything which is destined to lessen
their powers Of o6structing the seign-
forage BILL If the silver bill is gotten
out of the way before the end OF the
week. the contested election cases and
appropriation bills will follow.
THE SENATE
has made but iittle progress during the
. last two weeks in IT'S efforts 20 clean up
tbe calendar in advance OF the forth
coming discussion Of the tariff bin in the
Senate. III the opportunity is Afforded
ft will continue It's work on she calendar
durinr the present week. There are so
many special orders, however, some of
which have been brought over from pre-
vious weeks, that 90 is probable compare.
lively little progress will be made this
week. Iti probable that at least two
davs will be necessary 90 dispose OF the
bil 20 provide a new government print
ing Office building and another day 20
tbe bill for the rearrangement OF the
Florida judicial districts. The laval
ian resolution, introduced by Senator
NuFUIe. NuN ANt 0lcMAl TO NNNA A"'ei "t'"''
are also undisp0sed or the pending
motion on the latter being 20
refer 20 the Committee on Finance,
which will probably be- done with
little. IN any more speech-making. The
aDeech on Hawaiian affairs, OF which
senator Turpie has given notice, Is as
We, undeivered, but So is understood
tbat he viii make an effort 90 get the
door during the present week 10 is
Also probable that the report OF The
Committee ou Foreign Relations 20 he
made ON Monday concerning the diplo-
matic relations between the United
states and Hawaii, under Senator Nor
gap's resolution, will cause more OF less
debase. and even though
THE TARIFF BtLL
should not get into the Senate during
tbe week. there need be 20 surprise II
tbere should be more, or less reference
In the Senate TO that subject. lt oldS
fair 20 be a busy week and one OF varied
