Washington, Feb. 27.--Amid scenes
which recalled the memorable and ex-
citing days of the Fifty-first congress,
when party Feeling ran fiercely and
the hall of representatives resounded
with denunciations of the alleged
"high-handed methods" OF the ma
jority, James J. Butler Of Missouri was
unseated yesterday by the house and
George c. r. Wagner was seated In
his place. The Democrats had de-
cided at their caucus yesterday morn
ing that If this case was called up
they would prosecute a filibuster from
now until March 4, regardless OF con-
sequences to legislation, and they be-
gan the fight as soon as the gavel fell
at noon. They attempted to block
vote on the election case by leaving
the hall, but enough absentees were
finally brought in to make up the
necessary quorum. The closing chap
ter was dramatic. Mr.. Dalzell OF Penn
sylvania, who was in the chair, re-
fused to recognize demand for re-
vision and Mr.. Richardson, the NH
nority leader, stood in his place and
denounced his course in unmeasured
terms.

striking out the gasoline provision and
to reduce the number of inspectors TO

in his argument that the bill would
not stand the test of the courts. The
house concurred in senate amend
ments to the revenue bill giving the
state board of assessment powers To
increase assessments. The house APP
preparations committee reported ia.
vorably on bills for penitentiary, deaf
