walkout followed turbulent meet.
Ing OF the Populist national committee
last night, the anti-fusion leaders, af-
ter having a number of their follow
ers turned down by the credentials
committee, organizing bolt and form
ing a new committee. The members
favorable to fusion, after adopting the
report of the credentials committee

likelihood, it will empower the chair
man or a COMMITTEES of three to call the
national convention for the same city
and at he same time the Democratic
convention is held.
A proposition submitted by the anti
fusionists, which was rejected pro-
vided that the committee recognize

the roll of this committee, except

two to be selected by the friends of
Butler, two by friends of Parker, these
four to select fifth me, Der, and that
in settling these contests no votes are
to be cast on these cases by either
contestees or contestants until all con-
tests are settled.
The proposition was ignored by thu
full committee. the committee on cre-
dentials report excluding all but five
of the anri-fusion members, and in the
midst of an uproar the middle of the
readers, led by Parker of Kentucky
and Weller of Iowa, left the hall, EN-
gagged room down town and organized
boiling meeting. The boilers pre-
pared an address and called a national
convention for Cincinnati on Wednes-

Washington, Feb. 20.--Nothjng was
accomplished at last nights session Of
the house, which was to have been de.
voted to pension legislation, Mr.. Tai.
bert, of South Carolina, made the point
OF no quorum and blocked proceedings
The house remained in session until
10 o'clock in the hope of getting quo.
rum, and then adjourned.
The debate upon the Porto Rican
tariff bill, which is to continue
throughout the week and possibly
longer, opened in the house yesterday
On all hands it is agreed that this bill,
although 1t applies only to Porto Rico,
involving as it does the question of the
power to govern our new possessions
outside the limitations of the constitu-
ton, is the most important measure
which VIII come before this congress,
The Democrats are solidly arrayed
against the measure, and they will
have powerful support from the Re-
publican side in Mr.. Mccall, Of Massa-
chusetts, and Mr.. Littlefield, of Maine,
both able and forceful debaters. How
far the Republican disaffection will
extend or whether 1t will endanger
the Dill 1t 1s impossible to say.

from any source to pay the bribe sug-

for that purpose.
