IN THE HOUSE.

With plenty of time to W1nd up tHe legislative matters sent over to it by the senate, the house spent the night leisurely.
 Numerous appropriation measures were sent back to further conference between the two houses. The military academy. pension and army appropria- tion bills were disposed of before mid night.
 The Moon bill to codify the laws oc- cupied the house as conferenre re- port, which was adopted shortly after i o'clock this morning.
 Adjourned at 2 a. m.
 The house at o'clock this morning agreed to the conference report on che agricultural bill and immediately took recess until 9.30 a. m.
 The knell of the bill creating a per manent tarif board of five members was probably sounded late in the after noon session of the senate today. The democrats had Conducted what they believed a successful filfbuster against it, although they strenuously protested their tactics should not be so consid- cred.
 Senator after senator on the demo- cratic side arose to speak. There was nothing but talk, and more of 1t in sight, and from the leisurely way the senators went about their remarks Una proceedings might easily have been mistaken for the dull days of December rather than as within forty hours Of the constitutional time for adjourn msnt.

 It was just 4.55.p. m. when the effort to force the tariff board bill to a vote was abandoned. MT. McCumber called up the pension appropriation bill. This had the effect of laying aside the tarin board bill indefinitely.
