ANARCHY IN THE HOUSE.
MR. BLAND SO CHARACTER
IZES THE PROCEEDINGS.
Another Day Devoted to Fllibnsterinjf
-and Time Killing A Gnat Strain
iag, Camel-SwallowiDg Contest
Over a Matter of no Conse
quence to Anybody-Mr.
Bland Pats an End to
- the Arrest Contest.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 23. -The
House was called to order by
Clerk Kerr, in the absence of Speaker
Crisp, who is confined to his room by
illness. He read a letter from the Speaker
appointing Mr. Richardson, Speaker pro
tern., and Mr, Richardson took the chair.
After the reading of the journal, Mr.
Adams, Representative of Pennsylvania,
who was before the bar of the House
when it adjourned yesterday, endeav
ored to secure the attention of the chair,
but Mr. Wells obtained the floor to, cor
rect the reoord. He was recorded as not
voting, but desired to inform the House
that he took no part in the disorderly
proceedings of the day. Mr. Bland
called him to order, stating that he had
no right to make an argument on a mo
tion to correct the journal.
Mr. Cummings', Democrat of New
York, stated tlfnr bis colleague, Mr.
Sickles, was ill, and asked that he be ex
cused agreed to.
There was a tendency on the part of
members to renew the scenes of yester
day, but the chair repressed the tendency
by ordering the aisles cleared before pro
ceeding to business.
Mr. Bland stated, that the question
pending at adjournment was a motion
to discharge the : gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Adams'), and he renewed that
motion now.
Mr. Adams here got the ffoor and
stated that while before the bar cf the
House under the order of the Speaker
the mace had been presented to him and
he was compelled to take his seat. He
inquired why this indignity had been
put upon a member who was endeavor
ing in an orderly; way to obey the man
date of the House.
The chair said that that was a question
that could not be answered .then, but
stated if any indignity had been put
upon the gentleman he would have his
remedy hereafter. .
The chair was proceeding to state the
question upon the discharge of Mr.
Adams, when MrL Reed interposed to in
form the chair of the exact language in
which it was made 4 'That the gentle
man be discharged on the ground that
the arrest was unauthorized."
Mr. Springer wanted to amend by pro
viding for discharge of all members
under arrest, but was ruled out of order,
on the ground that the previous question
had been demanded on Mr. Reed's mo
tion as renewed.
Some dissent from proceeding on Mr.
Reed's motion having been expressed on
the Democratic side, Mr. Reed 6aid: "I
think it is better to proceed in order in
this matter, and if you gentlemen don't
like the form of the motion, vote down
the preyious question and have it your
own way." I
On a division the vote was announced
as 86 to 121 and j Mr. Reid asked for tel
lers, and Mr. Bland called for the yeas
and navs, which were ordered. The
vote resulted yeas, 95; nays, 159. So
the previous question was not ordered.
Mr. Bland offered the following sub
stitute for Mr. Reid's motion.
Resolved'. That all members who have
been arrested by authority of the House,
adopted on the 19th inst. are hereby dis
charged from custody. .
To this Mr. Reid raised the point of
order that his motion related to a single
individual; the substitute covered all of
a class, which was clearly inadmissable.
Mr. Johnson. Republican, of Indiana,
got the floor and reviewed the circum
stances attending his reported arrest. He
claimed that he had not been arrested
and insisted that the return of the ser-geant-at-arms
he amended so as to omit
his name from tne list oi arrested mem
bers. He was j called to. order several
times, but concluded his remarks after
two or three lively passages at arms. He
stated that last night he had called the
attention of the 6ergeant-at-arms to the
error in his return, a'nd hoped that by
this time he would have voluntarily
amended it. He moved that the ser-geant-at-arms
be instructed to investi
gate his (Johnson's) case and if it be
found that the return is incorrect, to
amend it. i
This motion was declared to be out of
order and the chair ruled that Mr. Reed's
point of order was well taken; that every
gentleman under arrest was entitled to a
separate hearing, because the circum
stances in the several cases may be dif
ferent. Mr. Bland then moved that the gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Adams) be ex-
Referring to the question of the
validity jot the warrant issued in this
case, he gaid he had never known it to
be questioned before, and he warned
members! who, undertook to quash it that
they would find themselves quashed by
their constituents.
Continuing, Mr. Bland said: "Now,
Mr. Sneaker. I wish to remark that on
yesterday a scene occurred in this House
such as I have never seen before in my
service. 1 sawj gentlemen rise in their
seats and boast that they had set at defi
ance the writ and order of this House.
If that is not Anarchy and revolution,
what is Anarchy and revolution? We
this House the fountain source
of the law-making power that makes the
laws for the people of this country
If
w-p rpsolve ourselves into a body of An
archists and if some one in that gallery
should throw down a, dynamite bomb
and explode it among us, he would be
no less or no more of an Anarchist than
members. THisses. When the business
interests of this country are not prosper
ing, when millions of people are out of
employment, when men are begging for
bread, when they are in the throes of hun
ger and starvation, when they are looking
to this House and this Congress for relief,
when they expect we will do something
in the nature of relief, we turn ourselves
into a body of filibusterers and obstruc
tionists and of Anarchists, despite our
own rules, and set at defiance the laws
of bur country, can we expect that these
millions will not also become Anarchists
and set at defiance tne laws oi mis
rnimtrs? Thev have an example from
us.i I say, Mr, Speaker, the times are
not propitious lor tne proceeuiuSo
have in this House. We were sent here
to do our duty, i We are here and we are
supposed to be doing our duty when a
great mass of people are begging for
Dread. The people of tms country uu
not go to their beds in comfort, in peace,
and in safety, and we are teachine to
the Anarchist mob in this country that
mo bism is the prevailing rule in this
House.
Mr. Turner, Democrat, of Georcia. ar
gued the legal aspects of the case, con
tending that the warrant was valid and
comi etent under the practice of the
House; and to a question by Mr. Dunn,
Democrat, of New York, he asserted that
tha oprp-eant-at-arms of the House had to
arrest a member for delinquency wherever
he was found, whether he was at his
desk, on the floor or elsewhere. He paid
some attention to the matter of "anting
a quorum by the Speaker, and stated
that the Supreme court had never decided
that the Speaker could count a quorum,
but had said the House had the power to
make a rule authorizing the Speaker to
do so.
A colloquy between Messrs. Reed and
Turner ensued, in which the former's
counting of a quorum in the Fifty-first
Congress and the decision of the Su
preme court as to what constituted a
quorum were reviewed, Mr. Reed reit
erating that the court naa aeciaea mat
a present quorum was the constitutional
quorum. -Mr.
Bartlett, Democrat,tof New York.
said the question before the House was
one of far more importance than one
merely affecting the lew individuals be
fore the bar. It was a question that
established a precedent authorizing the
arrest of members by a warrant which
no one with the slightest fundamental
knowledge of the law would say was
valid or competent. -
.air. iana at tnis point sprung a sur
prise upon the House, which led to an
easy and rapid disposal of the question.
He said that under the rules he believed
he had the right to withdraw the pend
ing motion and to move in its stead that
all proceedings under the call of the
House of the 19th under which the ar
rests were made be dispensed with.
Thi3 motion, if adopted would have
the effect of vacating- the arrests and
discharging the members. " 1
Mr. Reed made th& point-of order that
it was too late to make the motion, as an
adjournment had intervened and several
days proceedings. Beside, the terms of
the oraer precluded a suspension of
proceedings because it was made continu
ing until revoked by the House.
Mr. Bynuni gave other reasons forsup
porting Mr. Reed's point of order, but the
chair overruled the point of order, put Mr.
Bland's motion, declared it carried and
the members .under arrest discharged,
without taking a division, and almost in
the same breath.
Mr. Johnson introduced a resolution
directing the sereeant-at-arms to amend
his return bv strikine out his name as
one of the members arrested, which,
after a statement from him tnat in fact
he had not been arrested was agreed to.
After the committees had been called
for reports, Mr. Bland moved that the
House go into Committee of the Whole
on his Seigniorage bill general debate
to close at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The usual routine of filibustering was
then gone through with until 4:50 o'clock
when, by unanimous consent, recess was
taken until 8 o'clock p. m. under the
regular order of the House.
About fifty members were present at
to-night's session, Mr. Dockery being in.
tne chair. Ater two or three bills had
been considered without action, the
point of no quorum was made by several
members, and, after a division was had
and a vote by tellers was taken, showing
a presence of eighty-five members, the
House at 9:35 o'clock adjourned without
transacting any business.
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Stocks aud Bonds In New York The
Grain and Provision Markets
of Chicago.
New Yoek, Feb. 23. The shorts in the
Industrials rushed to cover at the open
ing of business this morning, on advices
from Washington indicating that the
sugar schedule would be revised by the
Senate when the Wilson bill comes up
before it. The stock bounded up If per
cent, -to 3df . General Electric rose 1 per
cent, to 38, and the other active stocks
i to per cent. The market outside of
the Industrials was quiet throughout and
the net changes w-re confined to the
fractions. The dullness excited com
ment, in view of the developments in the
Bilver and grain markets and can be ac
counted for only by the fact that opera
tors are determined to keep their
hands off until something definite
is known regarding the tariff and
income tax. Silver broke all records
again, falling to 27d per ounce in Lon
don. In the local market commercial
bar fell to 59fc and Mexican dollars to
48. In ordinary times a break such as
to-day's would have turned things topsy
turvy in Wall street. The slump in
London was ascribed to liquidations bv
a defeated bull pool, who bought the
metal on the idea that the Indian Gov
ernment would impose an import duty
on silver. Over production and the
withdrawal or the United Estates as Br
purchaser were also given as reasons for
the break. This drop might have had
some effect, had it not been for fairly
large purchases of wheat for Western
account which not only strengthened
the price of the product but prevented
the bears from following up their tactics
of the past week or ten days in the
Grangers. The rise, in foreign exchange
also fell flat, so far as the stock market is
concerned; In the afternoon there was
a decline in Chicago Gas of per cent,
to 62. The active list fell off in sym
pathy, but the decline in no case was
equal to i full point. New York Central
and American Sugar made the largest
losses outside of Gas. New York Cen
tral was weak on the talk of cutting eastr
bound rates and poor earnings. Near
the close Sugar was taken in hand once
more and moved up to 80, and as a re
sult the market left off firm: Railway
and miscellaneous bonds were strong.
Sales of listed stocks were 57,000 shares;
unlisted, 74,000.
Chicago, Feb. 23. Wheat opened
this morning at about Wednesday's clos
ing price, declined point, and at noon
became firm on bullish news, advancing
1 to 1 points and closed within point
of the highest.
Corn was barely steady, with the
amount of trade conspicuously light.
The price changes were confined within
narrow limits. The opening was a shade
better than Wednesday 'a .close, soltj
do n 4c, rallied to Jo and closed ii
lower than Wednesday. !
Oats were so dull that quotations were
barely established. From the fact that
but little change in prices took place,
th tone could safely be -called steady,
Provisions were weak and lower. The
opinion was that if it had not been fey
the strength displayed by wheat, further
declines might have resulted. Reports
from the yards both early and late were
discouraging. Prices were low at the
start and the close wa3 even worse. Pro
duct yalues trod the same pathasthofe

May pork 12c below Wednesday, May

The Drop in Silver.
London, Feb. 23. The remarkable fall
in the price of silver is due partly to the
lnwer rate of exchange coming from
China and partly to the fact that, as the
last steamer carrying silver that can pos
sibly reach India before the budget is
announced has sailed, the banks do not
care to purchase the metal until it is
seen what will be the nature of .the bud
get. In' addition to these causes, the
banks are waiting to see whether a duty
wilt be placed upon the importation of
silver.
TVh! 23. The Bengal
nmKor f Commerce to-dav discussed
the resolution that the best interests of
the country demand that the mints be
reopened. Afterwards, the chamber
adopted, by a vote of 69 to 16, an amend
ment to the effect that the mints should
not be reopened. A feature of the silver
question in India is the abnormal move
ment of all products towards the porte,
the object being to raise money in
Europe upon products so forwarded.

tee Monday The Demo-'
cratic Campaign
Committee.
Washington, Feb. 23. One hundred
and sixteen Democrats have signed the
call lor a House caucus to "consider the
propriety of changing the rules of the
House with reference to the course that
should be pursued by the House when
members fail to vote." The caucus will
be held after the Bland Seigniorage bill
has been disposed of, so that no member ;
present at the caucus may be influenced
by the pending business. Mr. Paynter ,
declines to give any information show
ing the sentiments of the members who
have signed the call, but it is under
stood, from other gentlemen who have
interested themselves in the matter, that
a very considerable number of Demo
cratic Representatives will endorse any
proposition that will result in compell
ing members to answer to their names,
when present during the roll calls of the
House.
Senator Butler has succeeded in get
ting more names than those necessary
to direct the call for a Democratic Sena
torial caucus, and the list was presented
to Senator Gorman to-day. This after
noon he issued the call, fixing the time
at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The Senate sub-Committee on Finance
has been in session all day on the Tariff
bill, and, owing to the adjournment of
the Senate, has been able to conduct its
sitting without interruption. The mem
bers of the sub-committee are more
than usually uncommunicative, but
one . of them stated this evening
that rapid progress had been made.
It is understood that so satis
factory has this work been that a
meeting of the full Committee on
Finance will be called for Monday morn
ing, when the bill will be laid before the
Republican members of the committee.
No call has positively been issued, but "it
is believed that a meeting will be had
then. The hour for the meeting of the
committee and the Democratic caucus is
the same. The sub-committee was in
session to-night and will work ener
getically from now until Monday,
to get the bill ready for the full
committee. The coal men are happy to
day, having received positive assurance
that they will get 40 cents a ton duty
and, possibly, as much as 50 cents. The
bill is being printed as rapidly as certain
schedules are completed and will be fin
ished, it is said,?in all its parts by Sunday
night. '
Senator Faulkner, of the Executive
Congressional committee has appointed
the following Senators and members,
who, together with the officers of the
committee, will constitute the executive
committee; Senators Jones, White,
Mitchell, Smith, Pasco; Representatives
Pigott, McAleer, Bynum, McMillin, Rae,
Whiting, Heard. I. Wheeler, Jones and
Form an. The -full committee has been
called to meet on Tuesday afternoon at
4 o'clock. At this meeting a plan of
campaign will be discussed and arrange
ments made for the selection of a cam

charge of the work.
Admiral Stanton called on Seretary

Fnneral of an Anarchist in Liondon,
London, Feb. 23. The burial of Martin
Bourdin, the Anarchist who was killed
by the premature explosion of one of his
own bombs, near Greenwich observatory
on the night of February 15th, took
place this afternoon. The hearse started
from the place where the body had been
lying in bt. Fancras, at 1 :3o o clock p. m,
Only one carriage followed the hearse,
Large crowds filled the roadway, some
in expectation of witnessing an Anarchist
demonstration and otners trying to par
ticipate in one. The police were out m
force and prepared for any emergency.
There was no sign of disturbance
until the hearse reached Marley-
bone road, where a vast throng
awaited the arrival of the body of the
the dead Anarchist. At this point some
one in the crowd hoisted a red flag with
a black border. This was the signal for
an outcry, but the police quickly checked
the rising Btorm by charging upen the
crowd, scattering them in all directions
and tearing down and carrying away
the offensive emblem. A strong cordon
of police thereafter protected the street
from further invasion.
The horses drawing the hearse were
urged to a gallop, which was kept up
until Frinchley cemetery was reached,
where the body was lowered into the
grave as quickly as possible. The authori
ties having given positive orders to pre
vent tne crowds from gaining admission
to the cemetery, few persons were pres
ent when the body was interred.
i As the coffin was being lowered Quinn,
the Anarchist leader, attempted to de
liver an oration. He had only begun
his remarks when he was seized by the
police and hustled outside the cemetery
eates. where he was set at liberty
Meanwhile the body had been buried
and the groups of Anarchists and others
who had congregated outside the en
closure quickly dispersed.

The Peers Yielding.
London, Feb. 23. The House of Lords
this evening agreed to permit the parish
councils to hold meetings in the parish
school houses. Then- former refusal of
such permission was most severely criti
cised, and it meant that in the rural
districts the saloons would have to be
made centres of political activity. The
Duke of Devonshire, leader of the Lib
eral-Unionists, moved that the county
councils be made the tribunals to decide
upon the compulsory purchase of allot
ments under tne allotments acts, with
the power of appeal to the local Govern
ment board. This motion was passed.
Lord Salisbury. Conservative leader,
proposed a ner amendment which
would give parishes of 200 to out) popu
lation the choice between council and
no council. The amendment was ap
proved by a vote of 89 to 76.
liOrd Salisbury then moved that tne
pairsh councils be allowed to elect only
one-third of the trustees of local chari
ties.
The Earl of Kimberly, Secretary of
State for India, intimated that the Gov
ernment would oppose this amendment.
A Postmaster Indicted.'

ter E. Coles Harvey ,'of Brookneal, Camp
bell county, to dav was sent on to the
grand jury of the United States court,
charged with embezzling postal and
money order funds and purchasing
goods with stamps. The postmaster was
.arrested yesterday by Deputy United
States Marshal Lambert and brought to
this city. The arrest was the result of
an examining of the office made by In
spector Brown on the bth of t ebruary
when it was discovered that there was a
shortage of f 150 in the money order de
partment. The accused had a hearing
before united Estates commissioner j.ins
ley at 12 o'clock to day. Inspector Brown
testified as to the shortage, and several
merchants testified that they sold goods
to Harvev for postage stamps. Bail was
fixed at $1,000. Harvey is a married
man and has heretofore borne a good
reputation.
The Brazilian Fleet Joins the Insur
gents.
London, Feb. 23. A dispatch from
Buenos Ay res concerning business affairs
says: "President Peixotto has stopped all
telegraphic communication between Rio
de Janeiro and Bahia. It is reported
from Montevideo that the whole Govern
ment fleet, excepting the dynamite cruiser
Nictherov. had gone over to tne insur
gents and has sailed for Rio Janeiro.
The insurgent army of the South ad
vances unchecked. The Government
troops sent to oppose it have accomplished
nothing, and apparently, fear to join
battle with the insurgents, liusiness men
at Rio are partially panic stricken.

j.ne arrival or the negro man. Orange
Page, and Mary Smith, his paramour,
wno are charged with the murder of
Rosa Haywood, by breaking her neck,
causes much talk among the negroes. A
strong guard carried them to jail. The
woman was captured in a field within a
few miles of Rocky Mount. Page was
found at work on an adjoining farm. He
ran some miles and was captured in the
house of his wife, i He was found in hpd
there, the bed clothing being laid over
him and his wife and two children lying
on top of this to . further conceal him.
To-day the negroes who captured these
murderers were paid the $300 reward
offered by the State. The woman is
rather disposed to admit Page's guilt,
though he makes a stout denial.
I he Moore county coal is said bv the
State geologist to be the best by far yet
iouna in ixortn uarouna.
There is greater interest in gold min
ing in the State at present than at any
time in many years. Improved methods
of metallurgical treatment are now being
studied by the State geologist.
uunng tne current year all the- kinds
of koalin to be found in this State will
be thoroughly analyzed and tested and
ertorts made to see what combinations
of the various kinds will produce.

report on the water powers of this State
with a special view to their utilization
in the- transmission of power bv elec

two-thirds of the counties. The power
can readily be transmitted ten miles.

as ex-Urovernor Jarvis. Mai. J. W. Wil
son and Mr. A. H. Merritt, are earnestly.
opposed to the playing of the inter-col:
legiate games of foot ball. The meeting
to-day was quite lively. . '
j 4By Special Telegram.
After four hours discussion the folio w-
mg was adopted:

trustees that inter-collegiate games of
foot ball on the part of students of the
University be discouraged until the
massed plays are forbidden or the! rules
of the game so modified as to make it
less dangerous.
Resolved, That the total number of
school days allowed for these sports
shall not seriously interfere with their
college duties.
nesoivea, inat tne attendance upon
tnese games at otner points of studenta
not belonging to the team or substitutes
be forbidden, except upon written re
quest of the father or guardian.
Action was taken by the trustees
in establishing a summer normal school
for both men and women, and also
special courses of summer instruction of
high grade in the various university
branches, to begin July 2nd and continue
four weeks.
