The Democrats in- yited the Lattls and then undertook ty fiea from the battlefield. Notwithstanding thore Was an arrangement yesterday as clear and. distinct as itis possible. to express one in Jangnage, the Democratic jeaders, sought refuge under a technicality and endeavored to escape the debate which the Republicans were certain to force upon thom. They hoped to accomplish their purpose and to defeat and defy the Republicans through intriguo nt. tho ontset of tholr scheme and through cowardice In its exe- cutilon, ‘There were some of the prominent Democrats who were truthful and manly enough to acknowledgo that the Republicans were correct In their interpretation of the understanding, but the Republicans hud to resort to threats to accomplish their purpose, The Republicans simply sald, “Wo under. stood that there was to bo a debate upon this question, and we intend that there shall be.” ‘The parliamentary construction of that lan- gunge only could be that the Republicans would AVAIL THEMSELVES of all the resuurces at the command of the minority to enforce thelr demand, and that the Democrats would be compolled te reuuin in session until thoy should be pleased to do Justice to the Republicans. Democrats reluctantly, and with the worst possible spirit, declded to eseape the delay und fatigue’ involved in filibusteripg ex- pedients, Defeated at this polnt, tle Demo- erats endeavored to make thelr concession valucless by seeking to lilt the debate to four hours, Pending the wrangle on this subject, the House adjourned, tha greater partof the day having been wasted, In this debato to-day upon the point of order there was a foreshadowlny of the posi- ton which the Republicans will tuke, ‘hey will maintain that CONGRESS 1A8 NO WoHT totake away the power of the Executive, who, according to law, has the right, and whose duty It {s, to keep peace at tho pollaby the employment of the officers of the Gov- ernment, and thatIf such a law should be enacted tha Executive would not be bound, under his oath andthe Constitution, to ob- serve It, Several Representatives took tho ground that the President could execute the Jaw in splie of tho rider, Hooker, of Missts- slppl, wont overthe old ground about En- gliish precedents, which Thurman took, and which was so ably refuted at the extra sea- sion.

CARLISLE’S BILL ADOPTED IN COMMITTER, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasiinatoy, D. C., April &—The Carlisle internal-revenne bill was adopted by the Ways and Means Committee by a yote of 8 to 3. ‘The following is the vote: Yeas—Wood, Carliste, Dunnel), Folton, Kelley, Morrison, Phelps, und ‘fckor—#. Naye—Congor, Gurteld, and stilts, ‘The bill affects the distillers’ interests of all sections of the country, The following is an analysis of Its more important proyislons In the form in which it was finally passed, after some amendmunts In eommittee: Itre- duces the distiller’s annual bond to one-half the presentamount. Itsimplifies tha law relat- Ing to the fermenting perlod, The distillers eluim that the old law cannot possibly be obeyed to the Ietter.. This new bill defines the fermenting for the threa different classes. of distillers,—the Western distillers, who make sweet mash; the Kentucky distillers, who make sour mush; and the New England rum. distillers,—inaking 9 different period. for each elnss. It reduces the warehouse bond to one-half the present bond required for winea that are to be placed in bonded warehouses, Provision is made which will allow highwines to bo exported in tin cans and in quantities of less than 1,000 gallons. TUE PRESENT LAW does not allow exportation in tin cans, and requires the quantity exported not to be less than 1,000 gallons, .A change is made ns to tho period within which the distillers shall be considered to have commenced under the law, and when assessments shall be made, ‘The Carlisle bill provides that no assessments shail be made until after the stated ferment- ing perlod. This is an advantage to the Nuw England rum distillers of three .days over the present assessments. {t 1s also provided that, where a distillery is accidentally destroyed by fire, the Conmmissfoner of Internal Rovenuo shall not assess for thoamount of splritethat might have beon produced from graiir in process of distilla- tion or before the wiues haya been deposited in bonded warahouses, Undor the present law there isa proviston that, if deposited in bonded warehouses, the tax in. sucht case shall not be callected, but ll tax fs collected no matter whether tha wines are destroyed, or not after they have been murked and be- fore they are warehoused, except Congress shall relleye by spocial uct, ‘The provision of the present law lins WORKED GREAT WARDAIUP in many cases, and hus caused the files of Congress to be burdened with relief bills. ‘Cho provision requiring reetifiers to give bond Is repented, “The proposition to abolish he exporter’s stamp-oF lcents wis strick- en Crom the billat the Instance of Conge ‘Tho distillers mulutain that thts tax ds unc atitutional.

Speelat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasntnoton, D. C., April 4.—The Demo- eratic Senators were in caucus this morning and this afternoon, and thelr caucus stands adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. ‘he real subject of deliberation is, What disposition shall be made of the Kellogu-Spofford case? Saulsbury and Ben Jill, of the Committes of Privileges and Election, who linve taken the testimony and ninde the report ousting Kellogg and giving the seat to Spofford, want immediate action, and say that delay Is cowardly; and they are sustained by the younger Democratic Sen- ators, constituting «a majority of the caucus. Vance, Vest, and Jonas were especially aggressive. Someof the older Dem- ocratic Senntors, headed by Eaton, Whyte, Groume, and ‘Thurman, fear that to open a res adjuidicnta and oust a Senator simply be- cause his vote may give the Republicans a inajority two years hence may have avery damaging effect. Action is also opposed by Hampton and Butler, who know that there wasn distinct understanding that Kellogg and Butler were to be admitted as no final compromise, and with this. understanding Corbin was not given the seat occupied by Butler. Inthe eauens there was a great variety of oplnion. Nearly every Senator took “partin the discussion. ‘Thurman and Bayard opposed present consideration of the case, In- sisting that an carly adjournment of Congress is advisable, and that everything that could be put over until the winter session should ue in order that the desired result may be at- ined, 80ME ARE UNDECIDED whether they should yote te disturb Kelloge on the ground that the questions Involved were resadjudienta; and a prominent Deino- crat says to-night, how that no one ex- evpt Butleron the J tic side reeog- nizes any agreement with Kellogg. drift of the disenssion In enucus seemed to show that the case will be taken up some time next week, the majority of Democratic Senators holding that, as the case has been reported, Itmust be proseented to the end. An other 1s Will be held inthe morning, The inatter, however, has not been settled, and it. remains to be seen Whether the majority of the Democratle caucus will bulldoze the “mi. nority Into alding them to oust Kelloge aud seal Spofford, or whether that minority will assert its Independence and unin that pre: posed actlon. The minority do not base thelr upposition to action In the Kellogg-Spofford use as mitch upon Its merits as upon their desire to have an early adjournment of the present sessign. “They want to confine their attention to appropriation bills and te gene eral legislation. ‘They want the Kellogg: Spofford case to be laid aeriy, with the Bayard financial resolution and Fitz John Porter ease until ifter tha Presidential elce! Whether they can stand up against the ma- Jority, of the caucus to-morrow will decide, The’ Republicans are ready for the Issue ver itis presented, and if itis brought up next week it will be dificult to keep the Southern Senators quiet. under the attacks, fink will be made upon them by the Repub- cans, THE INDIANS.

Speetat Dispatch to The Chieago Tribunte Wasiinoton, D. C., April 8—Tho State ~ Department has been persistently pressing the Government of Great Britain for an answer to Its letter concerning tho Fortune ° Bay affair, in which American fishermen ara so much Interested. It will be remembered that Secretary Evarts’ letter netting forth the American view of the rights of our fisher- men under the Treaty of Washington was written some time ngo, Its receipt was ac knowledged and a promisa- given that it should reach consideration.

The Department, however, lias recently been advised by cable that the British Government has prepared and forwarded a reply to our Government, and this reply fs nowon the way to this country. Of the character of the reply the State Department, if advised, lias nothing to say. The preparation and sending of this reply was probably one of the Inst important acts of Lord Salisbury's administration of the Foreign Ofilee, No special instructions onthis subject have been sent to Minister Lowell, through whom future negotintions, if there are to be any, will be conducted. * TENTS FOR KNIGITS TEMPLALS, The Senate indulged in a debate overs joint resolution granting the use of Govern: ment tents and flags for the triennial,con- clave of Knights Templars, which is to be held at Chicago in August next, Senators Edmunds, Hoar, and Ingalls took the ground. that If the United States once consented to loan property of this description no onacould say where the end would be, They thought it would be better to refuse so re- spectable and generally esteemed a body than to wait until some association less reputable asked ‘a similar favor, Senator Logan urged the passage of tho resolution, which was carried by 87 yeas against 20 nays. ‘That opposition to the Institution of Freo- masonry did not prompt the opposition to tho resolution was evident. Indeed, one of the Senators who'spoke against It Is n Knight Templar, and another a Royal-Arch Mason, Senator Wade Hampton then called up a Joint resolution granting the , use of tents, cannon, and muskets for - Union soldiers? reunfon to be held In September at Central City, Neb, Some slight amendments were ade, and the resolution was passed.
