deputies are to proceed with the great
est caution and Difference. we do not
arrest members as though they were
trainps or common drunks They are
merely notified that their names are on
the warrants and then the member is
touched to make service effective"
Great confusion arose over SiclSles' de-
mand to be heard ON a question Of priv
ilege. AS a way out Of the difficulty, it
was decided to hear the report of the
serSeant-at-arms, giving the list Of
those arrested. as follows:
RICHARDS, jr., Belthoove Clancy, Cof-
fin, Cooper, Cummings (who refuses ar
rest, Dunn (who protests), Erdman,
Ifatser Kribs, Mahon. McAler. Murray,
Mutchler, Reilly, Rush, sickles, Hulyek,
Mcdowell johnson, Woomer.
Sickles then said: "I demand a separ-
ate trial"
Amid the turmoil and pounding of the
gavel, the speaker pro tenn ordered
Sickles to sit down, and he obeyed. The
list OF prisoners was then called.
Adams, republican, of Pennsylvania,
announced he was absent in Pennsyl-
vania voting for a member of the house.
"And," he added, partly through my
efforts we rolled up 177OOO majority for
Galusha Grow" (Applause)
Reed moved that Adams be discharg-
ed and his name stricken from the war
rant.
Sickles protested that no names were
on the warrant, and that it was null
and void. This statement created e
fresh turmoil, and the speakers order
10 arrest the absentees was read.
siclSles held the floor and demanded
to ksow If he was under arrest and had
a right to vote. While the chair was
attempting to quell the impending riot,
Cummings called out: you did not
call Him (sickles) to order at Gettys-
burg3'
Dockery, in the chair, announced the
previous question carried. Bland with
drew his demand and also the motion t.
close the debate on the seiniorage bill.
Outhweite moved to adjourn-lost.
SiclSles objected to further proceed
ings under the warrant, 1t being abso-
lutely void, Springer insisted that the
warrant was authorized by the house.
Reed moved to excuse Adams on the
ground that the warrant was not au-
thcrized. A dozen members mode ?
point of order. In the midst of the din
Bland moved to adjourn. sickles cried
in piteously appealing manner: Are
you going to adjourn and leave me in
cheins?"
Blends motion was carried-132 to
1Ol, and at S:O5 the house closed one of
the mest dlsorderly sessions of this
congress by adjournment until tomor-
row at noon.

IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON Feb. 22-The house met
today, contrary to custom on Washing
toms birthday, owing to the tangle over
the Bland seigniorage bill. The pros
poets of securing quorum are not as
good as yesterday. Bland and his fol-
lowers are apparently disheartened, but
refuse to accept compromise by drop
ping the section of the bill providing for
the coinage of the remainder of the bull
lion and the retirement Of Sherman
treasury notes of the act OF 1890.
Cummings, Of New York, denounced
vigorously an attempt made to arrest
him this morning by the sergeant-at-
arms. In the name of the American peo-
pie he protested against holding a fard-
cal session on the national holiday, and
in honor of the memory of George
washington, moved an adjournment
Lost.
Bedlam broke loose and the most in
tense excitement prevailed this after
noon when the arrested members were
brought to the bar of the house. The
validity of the warrants was questioned
Gen. Sicl1les claiming the sergeant-at-
arms liable to action by each member
arrested. Several attempts to adjourn

Washington, Feb. 22.-In accordance
with the custom established a few years
ago, at the suggestion of Hoar, the SEN
ate met today and listened to the read
ing OF the Declaration of Independence.
Martin, Of Kansas, offered a resolu-
ton instructing the finance committee
to prepare bill for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to |. He also
presented resolution directing the ju-
dietary committee to prepare a joint
resolution providing for the election of
senators by direct vote of the people.
At the conclusion of it's reading the sem
ate adjourned till Monday.
Democratic members of the senate are
much disturbed over the situation con-
cerning the tariff bill. They used the
half holiday today to make decided
effort to agree upon features of the bill
so as to insure it's passage. They did
not make any marked progress, and VIII
continue their efforts tomorrow and SAT-
urday undisturbed by other official
official business, as the senate has ad-
journed until Monday. Whether the call
for a caucus circulated today shall be
considered seriously will depend upon
the success of the democratic senator's
in reaching an agreement without this
conference. The call circulated quite
vigorously for short time during the
early part Of the session, and after
about 10 names had been secured the
effort was suspended. II was presented,
as "a rule, 10 senators known to be urg-
ing change in the bill.
