Wasnixaton, D, C., April 17.—The Houso commenced the day with an sattempt to go to the Bpeaker's tablo to pass the Thurman Fund- ing bill, It ended tho sesslon, after three hours ot filibustering, with the' Wood Tariff bill In peril, and tho Democracy disorganized over the final adjournment resolution of the Senate. In the morning hour the Bauking and Currency Committeo trausacted considerablo business. ‘The bill forbidding further cofnage of the 20- cent pieco was passcd; tho bill providing for postal savings banks was fixcd for consideration May 4; the bill authorlzing the deposit of sllver hullion and an fssuo of ccrtificates was fixed for May 9 the General Currency blll providing for tho. retircmont of National Bank notes was also fixed for consideration carly In May, The Banking and Currency Committee bave thus, by spcclal order, presented incasurcs which mav casily consume ten days. Whon tho Scuato concurrent resolution, providing for tho final adjournment of Congross Juns 10, was nn- nounced in the House, It was received with ap- planse on the Republican slide. The opponents of the Wood tarifl saw this was thelr opportu- nity, and Immediately began to urganize to concur In the resolution, and to prevent its ref- erence to the Ways and Means Commitiee. Concurrence In the resolution would undoubte cdly defeat the Taril bill for this scasion, as tho time between now and the 10th of Junc is insufllcient for the Appropriation blile, tho gen- oral tariff dlscussion, and other speelal orders which have been fixed. When the resolutlon was reached, Wood moved to refef it to thie Ways and Means Committee. The OPPOSITION TO THE TARIFF BILL was immediately manifested. After conslder- ablo excitement, Wood's motion to refer to his Committec, where the resolution would have boen of course smothered, was defeated by 107 yeas to 180 nays. The atfirmadvo on the prop- osition to refer toWood's Committeo was inter- preted by many tobea test vote on Woud's Tarl bill. It could scarcely bo conaldered that, but it certaluly wos a very sigoificant vote as to the fate of Wood's bill, anda doubtless foreshad- ows its defeat. Tho only Republicans who voted to refer to Wood's Committoe were Bur- chard, of INinols, of the Ways and Means Com- mittee, Cannon, of lllinols, and Phillips, of Kanaas. TOE NROATIVE VOTB on this motlon to refer was mainly Republican, olthough the Protection Democrats voted with tho Republicans, [hero were other motives besides the tarif entering Into this vote. Many Western members arc anxlous to sccure sn early edjournment, as reports respecting the progress of tha Nationat party in muny districts are not rcassuring. After tho defeat of Wood's motlon, & series of fillbustering motions was begun., Finally, as the Bpeaker ruled that actlon on the concurrent resolutlon for adjourn- ment would come up to-morrow as unfinished businecss, the Democrats united to forco an ad- journment, Their purpose was to caucus on the subject of adjournment, and declds whether it was safe for the House Democrats to follow the lead of the Demnocratic Scnstors aud to make no objections to final adjournment. The Eastern and Pennsylvania Democrats were an element of discord fu this caucus, ns they sco in the adoption of the adjournment resolution an opportunity to defeat the Wood bill, Several Protectionlsts state that their objections to the changes in the tariff are much stronger than thele party tivs, and that, whateyer the caucus decldes, they will feel compelled to use every purliamentary expedient (o defeat tho Wood bl TALKING IT OVER, ‘The Democratic caucus upon the concurrent adjournment ‘resolution lasted until 11 o'clock. Fervando Wood offered a resolution postpons ing consideration of the adjournment resolution untll May 13, This wotlon was supported by Wood, Randall, and others, upon tho ground that the postpouewent would not futerlera with tbe views of tho terlil men, whereas, If the reso- lution should be concurred fn, the Republican minority could control the flouse, and could epact ooly such leglslation as they desired. It would be possible for them to dictate the bills that should pass, and to Mibuster as to all others. At the same time, adjournment Juno 10 might be possibie, whilo the control of tho day would slways be left with the majority if post- ponement should be had. Al the tariff delega- tlon 4nd several others, espectally the Now dJerscy and Pennsylvania Democrats, sald they would use all mcans to defeat the Tariff bill, but that they did not desire to embarrass thelr party. They were not willing that the resolu- tion should go to the Committes on Ways and Means, but would consent that it should o on tne table. Wright, of Penusylvacla, WOULD NOT AGRES 70 TUIS, Hlewould not cousentto & postponcment of over two weeks. Bridgos, of Peansylvanis, de- clined to bobound by the actfon of the caucus, and would vote for sdjournment. Wright sald Le had been a Detmocrat for ifty years, bus was oppostd to this tariff legislation, and would uss every weans to defeat it, but he uid not in- tend to be adisorganizer, He thought the House ought to sdjourn by the 10th of Juge. Hardenbergh, of New Jervey, sald his was much opposcd to theTarift bill, but that to concur with {he resolution would placethe Democratic party iu a ruse where the Republicans could coutrol legislation. Mr. Mills, of Texas, defended the Taril® blil, Hesald that this country was suffering from unequal tazation, and that he wanted afsir seveouo tax. lle was willing to stay bere until the day of judgwoent to obtaln oue. Mr. House, of Touuessee, aald that he did not ask avy Democrut 10 yicld Lis convictions ou the tariff or any other measure, but thonght it strange that they should sustain a measore which was evidently the result of a Republican caucus, TParsons, of Alabams, referring 10 the declara- tlon of Bridges that he would not abide by the caucus decision, sald thht it those were the sen- timents of Bridges the sooner he left the cauens the better. Bridzes said he had scen the timo when the Southern Democracy needed his vote. Whenever they needed his vote for any rightful purpose he would give it again, but be did not thiok that wes tho proper way for as young & man as Parsons to talk to a Democrat as old as himself, Parsons avowed he meant no dis- respeet, The caucus grow tired of specch-mak- Ing. There were lotd calls for s vote. When Wiilts, of New York, rosc, ha PAYORED TR WOOD BILL, but, a8 resumption was near, he thought it was wiso to adjourn to prevent unwise financial legls- lation, Ewlng, of Ohio, sald thecountry did uot want Congress to adjourn. Congress had been sent here for certain purposes,amd the gentleman who represented the Fifth avenuo Democracy could not soeak for ail. This expression lrrl- tated Willls, who safd he not anly represented the Fifth avenue Demacracy, but the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson. Ewing Insisted that Willis represented tho Filth avenue Yemocracy and the bondholders,who squecze the life out ot thecountry. The people exnected that this Con- Rress would givo some rellef. For one he woutd sit here unti! tho day of doom unless that relfef was obtained. Wright, of Pennsylvania, moved to fix the time for May 1, The Chalrman put tho voto on the longer time, and there belng only one nera- tive vote, that of Wright, he declared the mo- tion postponing to May 15 the consideration of the question adopted. Then this very eccret caucus odjourncd. Thero twero not more than 100 present. Many tariff men did not ot oth- era refused to he bound by the caucus, and there 1a a fair prospect that the Scnate resolution for final adjournment June 10 will bo earried, despite the décreo of Fernando Wood's caucus, DEMOCRATIO CAUCUS. i o the Weatern Luoctated Press.

A REPORT OF PROGRESS, Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. Wasimxaron, D, C.; April 17.—The Commis- #lon which has been lavestigating the subject of Undervaluations and the Immediato Transpor- tation act in Chlcago, 8t. Louls, and Cincinnati, arrived here to-day, and had a conference with the Becretary of the Treasury, Appralser-Gien- cral Meredith will spend a few davs in Baltl- wmore, Col.

The reason for this {s, that there are no charges of undervaluations or of damage nllowances tnnde as to sny other port than New York. "The conference with the Beceretary of the Trens- ury was of very general character, The Beere- tary himeelf called for no dotails, and the Com- mission docs not intend to make any report untll the entirosubjcct is concluded. Thus far they say they have heard but ono side,—that of the complaluts made against tho New York Custom« House, Including the system of damags allowance, of undervaluations, an! of Custom-House bro- keeage, The facts originally chargod have thus far been - FULLY SUSTAINED.

The Chicogo evidence has all been wrlsten out, but Wil not bo submittad to tho Beeretary until after the completion of tho work at New York, when it w1l bo tranamltted fn connee- tion with tne first report.
