 The leaders on both sides arrived on tho scene early. apparently none the worse for the parliamentary struggle of the night before. The Democrats resumed dilatory tactics and kept 1t up throughout the day, notwithstand- ing the Committee on Rules brought in rule applying the gag law to sener- al debate on the District of Columbia law appropriation bill.
 The rule was adopted amid great dis order and only after the Democrats had exhausted every parliamentary move which they could make to obstruct its final disposition. In presenting the rule, Mr. Daizell of Pennsylvania. repeated the threat of Leader Payne. that hence forth the remainder of the session, the Democrats would find themselves out in the cold.

He told the Republi- cans again what they could expect from his side of the House, and ex- horted his Democratic colleagues to stand together and apply all the power of which the minority was possessed in order to force the Republicans to action.
