Will permit his Dill to longer
block the path of business. y. AS the OPP
ponents of the measure have now adopted
cn open flibustering policy, u rule will
be formulated by the committee on rules
to prevent this and bring the vote direct
ly to Mr.. BANDS motion. A caucus will
be held tonight or tomorrow to consider
the question of an amendment to the
rules which will either give the speaker
the power to count quorum or place it
in the power to compel vote with the
alternative of fning him. While it would
seem from the number who signed the
caucus bill-116-that a majority of the
Dt :rocrats favor some method of pre-
venting filibustering, some Of the lead
ing members do not desire to push such
a modification of the rules at the end of
this long fight. With eighty majority
they think they should first vindicate
their ability to extricate themselves from
the present humiliating position, and al
forwards, they argue, the events OF the
past two weeks would furnish ample
justification for sucl. a mo LITIGATION OF
the rules The outlook for the week is
full of contingencies. The struggle over
the Bland bill may drift into a big parlia-
nchtary contest over change IN the
| rules, in which event tt ere will be some
litter opposition manifested from the
| Democratic side, especially if the pro-
| posed rule contemplated lodging III the
speakers hand the power to count
quorum Pending tho result OF the
lyer fight the Democratic opponents OF
the measure, no matter what they may
favor with regard to q change of the
rules as an abstract propositions, will
contest anything which is designed to
lessen their powers of obstructing the
seigniorage bill. If the silver bill is got
ten ont of the way before the end of the
" eek the contested election cases and ap-
PFC priation bills will follow.
The senate has made but little prog
ress in it's efforts to clean UP the calendar
in advance of the Forthcoming discusslo"
of the tariff bill in the senate.
Washing ton, Feb. 27.-The proce edings
ir the house to-day were full IF eNcit-
ing incidents. Mr.. Bland being unable to
secure a quorum, concluded to allow the
debate on the bill to proceed, at the same
time declaring that he would return ia
the assault to-mor1 ow. Two sensational
speeches followed, ore by Mr. Pence OF
Colorado, who denounced the Republicans
for submitting to the crack OF ex-Spe;lkel
Reeds WHIP and warned him if the elec
ton of a president We're thrown into tht
LCrse in 1896 he would rue his tilibuSter
; ing course, and the other by Mr.. Filth
ian of Illinois, who condemned in thu
seyerest terms the action of his Demo
cratic colleagues who were taking par
in the filibuster. Toward the close of tn
session Mr.. Pence's reflections on Messrs
Fl, kler and Ellis (Or) drew forth from
, a statement which Mr.. Pence character
l lied as absolutely untrue He Wa

vote refused to allow him to proceed. l
