[THE DEADLOCK UNBROKEN KILLING TIME IN THE HOUSE TALKING TARIFF IN THE SENATE, -_ Discussing the Fish Clauses, Etc. The Senate. ONLY SIX SENATORS PRESENT AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK. The Senate met at 11, and when the chaplain closed his prayer there were just six Senators in the chamber—four on the republican side and two on the democratic, Nevertheless, the presiding officer, in his most solemn tone, di- rected that, as there was a quorum present, the journal of yesterday should be read.” “I doubt that,” said Mr. Edmunds, Mr. Butler moved a call of the Senate. “The 33th rule,” said the presiding officer, “provides that the presiding officer, having taken the chair, and a quorum pain hetoe the journal of the preceding day shall be read, and any mistakes made therein corrected. “Well,” said Mr, Butler, “there is evidently a quorum not present, I move a callof the Senate.” Thereupon the roll of Senators was called and ten Senators responded. “There will be a quorum present,” said Mr. George, “by the time the journal is read, and Iask that further proceedings under the call be dispensed with.” The chair declined to entertain that motion until it should appear that there was a quorum resent for the transaction of business. One y one Senators made their appearance, and by 11:15 o'clock thirty-nine Senators had an- swered to the call of their names, and then yesterday's journal was read and approved, NAVAL APPRENTICES. Mr, Hale, from the committee on naval af- fairs, reported back favorably the House bills to provide a temporary home for certain per- sons discharged from the navy, and to encour- age the establishment of boys as apprentices in the navy. Placed on the calendar, Mr. Stanford introduced a joint resolution (which was referred to the committee on mil- itary affairs) to appoint James A. Weymeyer, of California, manager of the Home for Disabled Soldiers, in place of Wm. Blanding, deceased, THE TARIFF BILL, The Senate then resumed consideration of the tariff Dill, the pending question being on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Plumb to strike out of paragraph 557 the words: “Ex- cept when frozen or packed in ice, or other- wise prepared by any process for preservation,” 80 as to let the paragraph read simply: ‘Fresh fish” (free). FREE FISH. Mr, Plumb spoke in support of his amend- ment, As the paragraph stood, he said, the people living near the Canadian line in Maine and Massachusetts and elsewhere could avail themselves of the privilege of purchasing fresh fish free of duty, while if that fish were trans- ported a short distance into the interior (which required the use of salt) the people who used it were required to pay a duty on it. Either all fresh fish should pay a duty, or else the peopie of the interior should have the same op- ortunity to buy fresh fish as the people of Maine, or Massachusetts, or Michigan, or Obio, or Illinois, Here was A MANIFEST DISCRIMINATION. It seemed, he said, as if fish were entitled to more consideration than beef or pork. He was aware that his New England friends, by reason of their greater ability and power of concentration, had had very considerable con- trol of legislation. He did not ob!ect to their having everything they could get. ‘The people in the interior had alweys been compelled to pay duty on the salt used in packing their beef and pork and in preserving their butter, while the people of New England had salt, for pre- serving their fish, free of duty. In other words, the people of New England were free- traders when it suited their interests, and pro- tectionists when it suited their interests. He desired that all the people of the United States should be put on the same footing under the tariff law, whether as to its benefits or its bur- dens, What he objected to in the paragraph in question was its discrimination. MR. HOAR DENIED that the bounties, or the protection, or the exemptions, that had been granted the fisher- men of New England from time to time, had been the result of greed or rapacity or a desire on their part to get the advantage of the rest of their countrymen. The present proposition had grown (as he understood it) out of the fact that the Canadian authorities refused to American fishermen the opportunity to send to the American market, through Canada, or to put up or preserve for the market, fresh fish on Canadian soil, so that without such a pro- vision as the Senator from Kansas sought to strike out THE CANADIANS WOULD HAVE THE MONOPOLY andcontrol of the American market for fresh fish, He did not understand that the policy which made it desirable to probibit that in- volved at ail the general question of protection | to American industry. The paragraph rested on an altogether different theory, and that was that it was necessary for this country (if it was to be a power among the nations of ‘the earth) to be able to furnish in time of war a navy capable of contending on equal terms with the navy of any other nation. It had been con- ceived that instead of establishing costly navy schools for the training of officers competent to command ships, and of seamen accustomed to exposure and danger, it would be better to cultivate, under the fostering care of the gov- ernment, THE COAST FISHERIES, ‘The United States had always had from that source a ready supply of seamen in all its naval wars, and it had been shown recently by an ac- complished historical scholar that the number of sailors in the revolutionary war was larger than the number of soldiers, HOW MANY FOREIGNERS? Mr. Plumb asked Mr. Hoar to state to what extent the men employed on American fishing vessels were foreigners, Mr. Hoar sup; d that more than 75 per cent of the number were American citizens, Mr. Frye remarked that, on the Maine fish- ing vessels, more than 85 per cent of the men were American citizens. House of Representatives. MR. WEAVER PROMPTLY ON HAND. Hardly had the chaplain closed his petition with the “amen” when Mr. Weaver (Iowa) came forward with a motion that when the House adjourn to-day it be to meet on Monday next. Mr. Crisp and Mr. Weaver were appointed tellers, and the count proceeded slowly. Mr. Reed (Me.) inquired whether the object of this motion from the democratic side was to enable that party TO HOLD A caucus, The Speaker—The chair has no information on the subject. Mr. Crisp—This motion is not from the dem- ocratic side. The gentleman is mistaken. It is only from one man. Mr. Cummings (N. Y.)—You ought to come to the caucus. Mr, Reed—Possibly I onght to. I have caused more democratic caucuses than anybody else on this side. A CONSULTATION AND ITS RESULTS. While the count was being taken an earnest consultation was held at the Speaker's desk, Participated in by the Speaker, Messrs, Ran- Mills, Dockery, McCreary and McShane. isa tanks ore coer and after the count had proceeded for half an hour without & quorum making {te appearance, Mr. Randall demanded the yeas nays, and they were The motion having been 2; Rays, 223—Mr. Weaver, who had in negative, moved a reconsideration, CHECKMATING MR.

Of the injured three have died since removal to the hospitals, four others &re in a critical condition and will not survive. The remaining thirty-two are all doing well and will recover. TWO CENTs. upon a motion to adjourn to a day certain, and the point was sustained by the Speaker. Mr. Weaver then moved to take a recess until 1:30, but he was again blocked by Mr. Randall with » point of order. He held that the motion was in the nature of business, and, therefore, not in order until after the journal had been read. The § er decided the point to be well taken, e chair, he said, had decided a few mornings -ago that it was competent for the gentleman to make a motion before the jour- nal was read. The House, however, could transact no business until the journal had been read, MR. WEAVER QUOTES 4 PREVIOUS DECISION. Mr. Weaver contended that the chair had ruled not only that a motion to adjourn was in order, but alsoa motion to adjourn toa day certain. Mr. Randall—The chair didnot make that ruling. The chair ruled upon a different point from that, If the point of order had been made as it was made to-day he would have ruled then a8 now. Mr. Warner—The point of order was made, and the chair stated that the House might de- sire to adjourn before the readiug of the jour- nal, and might desire to adjourn toa day cer- tain, THE SPEAKER EXPLAINS. The Speaker would state to the gentleman from Iowa that he had decided the other day that a motion to adjourn might be made before the journal was read. The chair hed over- looked for the moment the fact that the gen- tleman had also pending a motion to adjourn to a day certain. Mr, Weaver—The chair put the motion and the House consumed the whole day voting upon it. Mr. Randall—There was no point of order raised against it, ‘ Mr. Weaver—If the motion made was not in order it was the duty of the Speaker to so hold, THE SPEAKER MAINTAINED THE POSITION he had taken this morning. Even had the chair decided otherwise on a previous occa- sion, he was now satisfied that a motion to ad- journ to a day certain could not be made before the Journal was read, and he would have no hesitation in reversi his own ruling. He thereupon directed the clerk to read the Journal, Mr. Weaver demanded the reading inextenso, but fortunately the journal was short and its reading consumed little time. MR. RANDALL MOVES AGAINST MR. WEAVER AAGIN BUT 18 DEFEATED, Mr. Weaver was immediately on his feet with another motion for an adjournment until Monday, bd Mr. Randall interjected a point of order against it, which, however, was not sustained by the chair, 5 But Mr. Dibble (8. C.) came forward with a conference report upon the Senate bill for the erection of a public building at Milwaukee, Wis., which NOTWITHSTANDING MR. WEAVER’S PROTEST, the Speaker ruled was of higher privilege even than a motion to adjourn. As agreed to in conference, the bill provides for the erection of a building at an ultimate cost of $1,200,000, and the report having been read, and the pre- vious question demanded by Mr. Dibble, Mr. Weaver moved to adjourn. The Speaker decided that as the rules gave a conference report precedence over a motion toadjourn. a subsequent motion to adjourn could not deprive the report of such prece- dence, Mr. Weaver suggested thatin that case the House could not adjourn when a conference report was before it even if the consideration of that report occupied a month, The Speaker replied that it was always com- petent for the House to postpone its considera- tion, MR, REED AND THE SPEAKER. Mr. Reed—Does the chair hold that a motion to postpone is in order, but that the House cannot adjourn when there is a conference re- port pending. ¢ : 3 The Speaker—The chair hair has decided that under the rules and the uniform practice of the House a conference report may be pre- sented even when a motion to adjourn is pend- ing. If the chair is now to hold that a motion to adjourn may be made before the motion is put on the conference report, the rule amounts to nothing. x Mr. Reed—Suppose a motion to postpone is made and then a motion to adjourn is made; would it be in order? ‘ The Speaker—The chair will not decide questions until they are presented, especially on so important a matter as this. POINT OF “NO QUORUM.” A standing vote on ordering the previous question resulted 150 to 4, and Mr. Weaver raised the point of no quorum. CAPITOL TOPICS.

THE WEST VIRGINIA DEADLOCK The Republicans Chagrined at Their | Failure to Organize the Senate. i Special Dispatch to Tur Evesrxe Stan. Cuartestox, W. Va., Jan. 11.—The senate will present upon convening to-day the same situation of affairs it opened with yesterday—a deadlock. Many ballots were taken yesterday without change of result—Carr has 13 votes, Minear 12, and 1 floating. The situation is rather embarrassing to the republicans, as they expected to organize the senate without trouble. But trouble has arisen from several unexpected causes, Mr. Minear, who is being voted for by the republicans, but who persists in voting for the democratic nominee, Mr. Carr, is a hold- over republican and two years ago shook the republican caucus and nominee and voted for ex-Senator Camden for U. 8, Senator. The republicans were very bitter against him in consequence and denounced him in the strongest manner, even to the extent of preferring charges of bribery against him, It is believed by sowe that he is now getting his revenge, by others that it is a scheme in favor of ex-Senator Camden in case of aclose fight in Senator Kenna’s behalf. Mr. Morris, the republican member who made the charges of bribery against and denounced Minear so un- compromisingly at the last session, gave evi- THE WIND TO DESCEND FURIOUSLY UPON Us, causing the accident. The changes in the ther- ™mometer were marked. At 12 o'clock, Wednes- day, the figure was 54; at 2 o'clock, 41; at 4 | o'clock, 38—showing that the cold wave trav- eled directly in the track of the gale. The ba- | rometer fell rapidly also, At 8 o'clock 29.80 Was registered, undat 12 o'clock it had droj to 29.05, the lowest figure éver known here. The fall indicated the advance of the storm, which was twice as rapid in motion as the wind. The condition of our atmosphere was so de- pressed that the wind rushed downward in the air toward us, much as water would run down a declivity. Our relative position to the storm center was, then, the cause of the great blow, as the storm-center was so small and moved so fast that the wind was drawn from the south- west with great force. The wind was remark- able for its sudden generation and the rapidity of its subsidence. Fhe violent gale had some of the characteristics of a tornado, and its path was about two miles wide.” FUNERALS OF FOUR VICTIMS.
