WASHINGTON, Feb 2i-The members of
the house under arrest were finally dis
charged from custody yesterday by dis
pensing with further proceedings under
the call II required four hours to accom-,
plish this, and althoughthe scenes OF dis
orderly turbulence which claracterized
Thursdays proceedings, were not re
peated yesterday the proceedings were
fully as interesting The Democrats were
evidently very anxious when the hotse
met to extricate themselves from the com
plications arising from the Wholesale ar
rest of members, but by flank movements
the Republicans succeeded ir preventing
this until the whole situation had been
thoroughly ventilated.
Representative Bland created n mild up
roar In the house in the afternoon. He
took the floor upon the motion Ia discharge
Representative Adams, who was under
arrest, and upon this motion launched off
fnto bitter speech, In which he denounced
both Democratic and Republican mem,
bers. He said the cxanple set by some
of them in defying the orders Of the house
was anarchy, and that they were Ia
every sense of the word revOlutionists. H
was called 10 order several times, Later
Goomhs IN, " and other Democrats com,
pelicd him to take his seat because of in
temperate language, and because he wa
not talking TO tine question under discus
sion.
Perhaps the most interesting feature oi
the day, barring Mr.. Bands bitter phil
iipic against the filibustering Democrats
was the verbal duel between Mr.. Reed and
MIR. Turner over the question of counting
Rquorum, II question just now of pre-em.
inent Importance in house circles on nc
count of the proposed Democratic caucus
IN consider the adyisabiity of adopting
this cXpedcnt After the arrested mem
bers had been discharged Mr. Bland re
tnrued TO the silver bill, but his motion
fsiled again for lack OF n quorum. He
only lacked two votes, however, and tha
IN his high water mark.
Although Mr. Bland still insists on
going ahead with the scigniorage bill rnuny
ot the Democrats believe il should now he
abandoned, and unless n quorum is pro,
cured today II would seem that 1t would
have to he, that is if Democratic caucus
does not decide 10 adopt some method Of
forcing members to vote or to count them
they do not.

tracks Of the Fort Wayne road. Threats
TO tie up the latter road, and even the
