CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Time for Closing Debate on the Bland
Bill Not Fixed.

Time for Closing Debate on the Bland
Bill Not Fixed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.-All efforts to
agree upon time for closing the debate
on the Bland bill has so far failed, and the
debate is still proceeding without limit.
Bland will probably permit this to go on
until tomorrow night. Opponents of the
measure have decided that they will in
sist upon quorum of the advocates of
the measure being present at every stage
of the parliamentary procedure. Many
mem bers are absent, and it will probably
require two days at least to secure the at
tendance Of the number necessary to
bring the bill to a vote tomorrow.
Bland's intention is to make motion to
close the debate, and as this motion Will
probably develop the lack of a quorum,
he will then offer resolution to bring in
the absentees. Possibly still another day
may be required to produce the requisite
quorum. Raynor and some other Demo-
Gratis still insist that the bill can be beat
en-, but Tracy frankly confesses that the
bill will pass if it reaches vote. AS to
whether it will be vetoed. he gives no
opinion. The debate to-day was without
startling incident of any kind.
When the House met the resignation of
Brawley of South Carolina, TO take effect
at once, he having been appointed United
States District Judge, was read and placed
on file.
Quigg and Strauss, the new members
from New York, were sworn in.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on BANDS seigniorage bill.
Stone of Kentucky took the floor and
addressed the House on the question.
Toward the close of his remarks Stone
became involved in a controversy with
! , I'll. 49,
responsibility for the present condition
of affairs. He declared this Democratic
Congress would afford the people relief,
and reinforced and approved, the Demo-
cratic majority elected to the E'ifty-fourth
Congress would testify next fall to the
work of this Congress.
"We will rest the case on that predic
tion," said Reed. ''If you have an in
creased Democratic majority next tall
you will be vindicated."
During the speech of Walker (Rep.) of
Massachusetts in opposition to the bill,
Reed and Bland got into an angry alter
cation over the limitations OF debate,
which was carried on while Hatch, who
was in the chair, was vigorously pounding
for order, and the Sergeant-at-Ar was
at last called upon to see the gentleman
seated.
Sweet (Rep.) of Idaho, Bowers (Rep.) Of
California and Rawlins of Utah spoke in
support of the bill. Brosius of Pennsyl-
vania opposed it.
The House adjourned at $50.

Speaker Crisp was ut the White House
and his visit with the president caused n
renewal of the comment Us to the inter
est of The administration in supporting
the tariff position of the house. Crisp de-
clined to say anything concerning the
conference, or to even intimate whether
tie tariff deadlock between the houses
was "a subject for discussion. Representa-
tives kilgore, of Texas, and Bynum, of
Indiana, the latter n member of the ways
and means committe, also saw the presi-
f,edt Kiigore is endeav0ring to stem the
tide in the house which has set in for the
last two days toward IA concession to most,
if not all, that the senate asks. He thinks
that the house will yet win the struggle
and SO told the president.
To his callers the president expressed
the same determination shown in the let
ter to Chairman Wilson. 1t was evident
that he was very fixed in its view of the
iustness of the contention he had present
ed and that there was no disposition
to waver from it, except through such
mutual compromises as would give the
house at least u good share Of the conces.

that the Democrats will probably caucus
on the tariff bill when it returns from the
