WILL FIGHT TO FINISH
HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO ORGAN
 IZE A FILIBUSTER.
The Purpose is to Defeat the Plan Of the Republicans to unseat Representative Butler
 of Missouri.

Washington, Feb. M-Ths Democrats of the House have called a caucus for to- mori ow morning to act on the fillbuster program the Democratic leaders have de- cided on for the remainder of the session. b Yesterday when the majority of Elec- tions Committee No. 2 presented their re- port in favor of unseating Mr. Butler of Missouri whose seat is being contested by MT. Warner. the Democratic leaders, at the request of the Democrats of the Missouri delegation, served notice on the Republican leaders that if any attempt was made to call up the case for action. they would do everything in their power to block the wheels of legislation until March {. No reply was given. but a truce was patched up during the after noon on the understanding that a re- sponse would be given this afternoon.
 Shortly before adjournment today, Speaker Henderson notified MT. Richard son. tks minority leader that the case would be called up tomorrow. Thereupon the call for the Democratic caucus was issued. The Democrats are organizing for a fight to a finish. While their action probably will not jeopardize any of the appropriation bills, if they stick to their program of demanding a roll call on every and insisting on the presence of a quorum, they can greatly embarrass the majority and defeat many minor measures which otherwise would pass.

INGALLS, FOR MAYOR WILL MAKE THE RACE IN GIN
 CINNATI. May Be the First of a Series of Moves to Capture the Demo-
 cratic Nomination
 for President.

Cincinnati, Feb. 25.-Consideraole stir was occasioned here tonight by M. F. Ingalls,, President of the Big Four Rail- way system. sgnifying to committee of twenty-six citzeus his acceptance of the Democratic nomination fer Mayor of Cincinnati.
 While he will head the regular Demo- cratic city ticket he has been requested to accept the nomination by citizens re- gardless of party and his acceptance is generally recognized as meaning an un- usually hotly contested campaign in this city for the next month. The city is nor mally Republican by large plurality but for some time there has been an organ ized fusion movement
 The independent Republicans stated that they would not ask for fusion or a clti- zcns' ticket if MT Ingalls would head the Democratic ticket.
 The Republican City Convention will be held next week but there is no prediction yet as to the nominee for Mayor. The real contest in the city is on George B. Cox, the recognized Republican leader, but it is intimated that the candidacy Of MT Ingalls, for Mayor will be followed by his candidacy for the Governorship this year and possibly for the Presidency next year, and that the movement is very sig nihcant after the conferences that have been held in Washington and elsewhere

.f America, went to Beckiey this after noon to attend to the case of the miners.
 The Blanket Injunction.


 The injuncton which the miners were charged with violating was the blanket writ issued by Judge B. F. Keller at the suit of the Chesapeake and Ohio Coal Agency Company last August. The de- fendants in the case were all the coal companies operating in the. New River field, a hundred and fifty members of the mine workers of America by name. in cluding Presidaait Mitchell and Secretary Wilson and aif Wher persons whatsoever who aided and abetted them. The in- function covered almost every foot of ground in the coal mining region of New River While all of the mines in the Ka- nawha and New River sections have been at work for some months. the strike has not been officially declaced off and it's embers have been smouldering in the New River gorge, threatening to break into flame in the spring.
 The locality in which today's tragedy occurred is one in which the mines have but recently been opened up and the small towns are filled with the most des- perate men that ever have come into the State.
 Advices from the scene of the conflict tonight are to the effect that all Is quiet now hut fears arc entertained that trou- ble will break out afresh at any moment and the conflict of today is thought to be the forerunner of many more to come in the near future.
