PROSPECTS OF A COMPROMISE—A RUMOR WHICH WAS WHAT IS DOING AT THE CAPITOL. Senate To-day. Mr. Bayard reported from the finance committee & modification of the measure recently reported by him as a substitute for the House bonded spirits Dill. He sald the amended bill now reported con- tained modifications which had been prepared in conjunction with the Treasury department re- lating to bonds to be given for the extended ware- housing period, and providing warehousing regu- Tations'a8 to spirits made from grapes, ig ayers and Peaches. Upon Mr. Bayard’s Ure was ordered printed as a substitute for the House bill on the subject. He added that he would probably call it up early next week. An order was made for an adjournment from to- day untit Monda: Mr. Butler sald that immediately after the dis- posal of the Japanese indemnity bill, he would urge action upon the Dill for a territorial govern- ment for southeastern Alaska, As showing the ‘urgency of of Prompt action, he sent tg the clerk's sundry communications show- awisemees among the miners tn that section. tt e committee on territories propose to move a& rete) for the Senate and House bills on this sul ‘The Senate billto reimburse the Creek orphan fund was further considered. The bill, after de- bate, went over without action, upon the expira~ tion of the morning hour. Mr. Sawyer called up the Senate bill to provide for the removal of obstructions to the free naviga- tion of the navigable waters of the United States, which bi Dill requires bridge corporations to erect sheer booms, etc., to aid steamboats or other craft in pacing withos without striking the bridge piers. The Deadlock im the House. ‘Mr. Calkins called up the eontested elect ion case of Mackey agt. Dibble in the House this morning, against which Mr. Blackburn raised the question of consideration. Dilatory motions were sub- mitted by Messrs, Converse, Carlisle and Randall, and the House proceeded to vote on the question of adjourning until Tuesday next. The vote resulted—yeas 2 (Messrs. Hanjenbergh and Phelps), nays 188—no quorum, and a call of the House was ordered. The call having disclosed the presence of more than a quorum, further proceedings were dispensed ‘with, and the question recurring on the motion to aare ir until , It was lost—yeas 2, nays ae point of “‘no quorum” was not raised, and luestion recurred on the motion to adjourn ta Fajen ites pe eas 4, nays 145. On this ir. Hooker voted, stating that he was pi red with Mr. Errett, who was injured this morning, with the understanding that he should cast his vote when it was required to make @ quorum. r. Blackburn moved to adjourn, and the yeas and nays were ordered, but before the roll was called Mr. Hatch rose ‘and asked to be excused from voting. Objection was made on the demo- ¢fatie side, whereupon Mr. Blackburn moved that the gentleman be excused. Mr. Calkins raised the point of order that the fentleman must present Some ground upon which je desired to be excused, otherwise the House would be forced to the absurdity of excusing a member without a reason stated. Mr. Blackburn moved to adjourn, and the yeas and nays were ordered, but before the roll was called Mr. Hatch rose and asked to beexcused from voting. Objection was made on the democratic side, whereupon Mr. Blackburn moved that the gentle- man be excused. Mr. Calkins raised the point of order that the gentleman must present some ground upon which he desired to be excused, otherwise the House would be forced to the absurdity of excusing a member without reason stated. After considerable debate, Mr. Belford rose to a polnt of order, and said :—If the democratic. revo- lutionists will not vote they should not be allowed to talk. [Laughter and cries of “louder” from the democratic side.) The gentlemen are not here, and therefore cannot be heard. They are revolu- tionists, and the majority of the House should ignore them as revolutionista. [Laughter.] Mr. Calkins withdrew his point of order, but made the further point that a motion to excuse Was not In order upon a motion to adjourn. ‘The Speaker sustained the point of order. Mr. Blackburn appéaled from the decision of the chair, and the Speaker overruled the appeal, which was then laid on the table—yeas 146, nays 1. ‘The District in Congress. As yet Mr. Neal has not decided the best course to facilitate the passage of the water-supply Dill. Ithe can get the House to assign the District a day, he will move to commit the Senate bill to the District committee, and call {t up as the first order of business whenever District matters are given consideration. On the other hand, if no day is assigned the District, the bill will be allowed to Ne upon the Speaker's table, and he will watch every chance to call it up. Capitol Notes, Mr. Frye to-day asked for leave of absence from the Senate. Mr. Sherman sald it was not eusto- mary for Senators to ask for leave, and he hoped the custom would not be established. The chair sald the rule prescribed that Senators should not absent themselves without leave, but as the rule has always been ignored it was concluded to fol- low custom instead of the rule. The House committee on foreign affairs to-day devoted its session to hearing Prof. Spencer F- Baird in advocacy of an appropriation of $50,000 to provide for an American exhibit at the fish exposi- Uon to be held in London in 1883. Mr. Brents, the delegate in Congress from Wash- ington Territory, made an argument to-day before the Senate committee on territories, in support of the claims of his territory for admission {nto the union as a state. At last night’s session of the House the republi- cans found themselves without a quorum, and, the democrats refusing to vote, an adjournment took riations will place at 10 o'clock.

Hon. Russell Errett, of Pennsylvania, met with quite a serious accident this morning by being thrown from a herdie passenger coach. It appears that upon alighting from the coach at the entrance to the House of Representatives, the driver of the coach started the horse suddenly, causing Mr. Errett to lose his balance, and he was thrown head rst against the granite steps under the archway, receiving a very severe cut across his nose and cheeks. Bie is thought that his nose is broken. Mr. Errett is lying in the room of the committee on Ways and means, where a physician has been sum- mont CONFIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE. ‘The Senate in executive session yesterday con- firmed the following nominations: Navy—Commo- dore Johnston B. ripe heel to Pe Tear admiral; Captain William T.

This was the day set by Judge Wylie for arraigning the defendants in the so-called Dorsey case under the new indictment.
