The Filibustering Tactica Kept Up in the House Today. SPEAKER COUNTS A QUORUM His Count is Challenged by the Democrats. BANKRUPTCY DISCUSSED IN SENATE. —-__—. SENATE, Mr. Blair introduced on behalf of the W. C. T. U. a bill to prohibit the manufacture or sale of spirituous liquors in the territories. Re- ferred, TO AMEND THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. Mr. Plumb’s resolution to recommit the bankruptcy bill to the judiciary committee with instructions to amend it by making it apply to voluntary bankruptcy only was taken up. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Piumb to withdraw the resolution. The bill had, been very carefully prepared, and when it came before the Senate # motion could be made to strike out the in- voluntary clause of it. The two things were not mingled at all. He had not expected the bill to be taken up at this session; but if there was to be any discussion of ithe should be obliged to take up two or three hours of the time of the Senate. MR. PLUMB'S TWO REASONS. Mr. Plumb said that he had offered the reso- lution for two reasons. One was that he was utterly opposed to the principle of involuntary bankruptcy; and the other was that he did not wish to have any bankruptcy bill passed at this session. He understood that an association of wholesale dealers had spent a good deal of money in efforts to have the bill’ passed. and that fact indicated that the bill was no* in the interest of the people of the United States. but in the interest of a class of persons whom it would enable to put a clutch on the throat of all the business of asmall kind carried» on in the United Statea, Mr. Cullom remarked that he had had letters thie morning from two of the most prominent business men of Chicago asking that the bill be not paseed at the present session, Mr. Plumb said that he had also hada dis- p tch from the leading commercial body of Kansas City recalling the consent heretoforg given by it to the bill, YECESSITY FOR THE NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY BILL. Mr. Hoar spoke of the necessity of a national bankruptcy bill. There were, he suid, from 150,000 to 250,000 people in the UnitedStates who wore on their limbs the fetters of indebtedness, which they could only escape from by the operation of a national bankruptcy law. But it was absolutely impracticable to have a na- tional bankruptcy law that deult with voluntary cases alone, He believed that a bankruptcy system could be contrived that would offord almost absolute, certainly adequate, se- curity against a repetition of the evils of the former law. He did not wish a bankruptcy bill to be passed as a party measure or as a sectional measure. He believed that the pass- ago, with the assent of the representatives of the west and south, of a moderate, safe. just, reasonable system would have a healing and fertilizing effect on the whole country, and ‘that such a system would, within three’ years, reduce the rate of interest, where it is now 10, 12 jor 14 per cent, to 3, 4 or 5 per cent. MR. PLUME'S RESOLUTION PUT ON THE CALEN- Damn Aftér farther discussion Mr.” Plumb’s reso- lution was placed on the calendar without ac- tion, Mr. Hoar stating that he would not osk its consideration at this session or at any time when the Senate was not thought to be full enough to enable both its frieiids and its op- ponents to have it fully considered. INCREASE OF SILVER MONEY Mr. Voorhees introduced a joint resolution for an immediate increase of silver money. eferred te the finance committee, SECRET SESSION. The Senate then, on motion of Mr. Hawley, proceeded to the consideration of executive business, : BILLS PASSED, The doors were reopened at 12:20 and the Senate proceeded to the consideration (for one hour) of unobjectet bills on the calendar. of which the following (among others) were pussed Honse bill to amend section 2399 of the Re- vised Statutes on the subject of contracts for land surveys. Senate bill eurmonreting 250,000 for a public building at Joplin, Mo. House bill to discontinue the coinage of the 3 aud $1 gold pieces and the three-cent nickel piece, Nominations Confirmed.

HOUSE, After prayer by the chaplain, Mr. O’Ferrall (Va.) suggested that there waa no quorum pres- ent, but the Speaker was able to count one, ‘and the clerk proceeded to read the journal, Mr. Oates (Als.), Mr. O'Ferrall and Mr. Crisp were the only democrats in their seats, ‘MR. CRISP WANTS THE JOURNAL AMENDED, ‘The journal having been read, Mr. Crisp ob- Jected to its approval and asked that it be | clerk to call the roll on the Langston-Venable case. He (Mr. Crisp) had objected and bad made the point of order that it was not in order to proceed with tho roll call. The Speaker had sustained the objection. The journal contained no record of this decision of the Speaker. He moved that the journal be amended by inserting it, “xo Quortx.” Mr. Dingley (Me.) moved to lay the amend- ment on the table. On a rising vote this motion was carried— yeas, 140; nays, 2,and Mr. Crisp raised the point of no quorum. Mr. Cannon (Iil.) calied the attention of the Speaker to the foct that there were a number of republicans present who, ou account of being paired, had not arisen in.their places. Mr. Crisp—Why not have a roll call? Arepublican member demanded the yeas and nays; but his demand was drowned in deprecating cries from his republican col- lougnes, Mr. Crisp—Yes; that would disclose how many there are here. THE SPEAKER'S COUNT CHALLENGED. The Speaker counted 164 membera present— @ quorum, Mr. Crisp challenged the correctness of the count. He did this with the utmost respect for the Speaker and with the utmost sincerity. When members were moving around and call- ing out “one more” the Speaker was liable to err. He asked the Speaker, in the exercise of the power lodged in him, to order tellers to verify the count, The Speaker said that he had taken great pains in the count, aud had no doubt about its correctness, Mr. Buchanan (N.J.)—Bring in your men and order tellers, 4 DOZEN DEMOCRATS IN THE LOBBY. The Speaker said that he was informed by the doorkeepers that there were a dozen dem- ocrats in the lobby. Mr. Crisp retorted that there was no provis- ion of the rules under which the door keepers could count a quorum, The Speaker declared that the yeas had it, and that the amendment was laid upon the table. Mr. Crisp—Does the chair decline to order tellers? The Speaker—The chair does. MR. CHEADLE ROSE IN PROTEST, but his voice was drowned in a chorus of de- mands for the “regular order” from the repub- licans. Mr. McKinley (Ohio) hoped that the gentle- man would be permitted to say a word. ‘The Speaker coincided in this hope, but Mr. Funston (Kan.) interposed a strenuous objec- tion. But above the din Mr. Cheadle was heard to declare that when the correctness of the count was questioned tellers should be appointed. There should be no doubt about the correct- ness of the count, The Speaker stated that the question was on the approval of the journal and the vote being taken resulted—ayes, 162; nays, 2. Mr. Crisp raised the point of no quorum. The Speaker replied that Mr. De Haven (Cal.) was present, but had not yoted, This xentleman, together with the Speaker, made 166 members present, although the Speaker was.of the opinion that 164 members consti- tuted « quorum, MR. CRISP AGAIN CHALLENGED the correctness of the count. ‘The Speaker said that he had twice carefully counted the House, but as gentlemen other than members were admitted to the floor the Speaker might have fallen into error, and the Speaker would. therefore, order tellers. Mr. McKinley thought that the Speaker should do so even though a huadred members of the other side ABSENTED THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO OBSTRUCT BUSINESS, Mr. Crisp said the republicans must have a quorum of their own members when they de- sired to turn out a duly elected Representative of the people. MR. M'KINLEY REPLIED that by a simple nod the gentleman from Geor- gia could bring in enough democratic votes to order tellers, But the Speaker was right in ordering tellers when his count was questioned, THE SPEAKER SAID that nd matter what the conduct of gentlemen who were obstructing legislation (if they were obstructing it) might be it was desirable that no mistake be made in the count, Notwith- standing what might be thought by the House and the country of the acts which caused it to be done he would order tellers, TELLERS TO COUNT THE HOUSE. Mr. McKinley and Mr. Crisp were appointed tellers to count the House. A RATHER AMUSING INCIDENT occurred as the tellers took their places, Mr. Holman (Ind.) was about to leave the hall when he was spicd by the Speaker, who, in a loud tone, directed the tellers to count the gen- tleman from Indiana, Mr. Holman then turned and, amid laughter and applause, passed between the telle: THE SPEAKER COUNTED RIGHT. After waiting quarter of an hour the tellers announced the presence of 164 members, MR, CRISP SAYS 164 ALE NOT A QUORUM. Mr. Crisp made the point of order that, not- withstanding the four vacancies existing in the House, 164 members did not constitute a quorum, In the course of his argument he referred to the decision made at the beginning of the war of the secession; whereupon the Speaker sug- gested soto voce that there was anccessity for a similar decision now. MR. CRISP RETORTED that he was arguing a scrious matter and would not notice side-bar and undignified remarks. Mr. Houk (‘Tenn.) (referring to the desertion of the democratic side) said that it was A FAMILIAR REPETITION OF SECESSION. Mr. Crisp said that he would not go into the question of secession with the gentleman from Tennessee, That was along way behind him. 5 Mr. Houk retorted that he was referring to tho present secession, Mr. Crisp thought tHat it was sufficient to reply that the absent members believed that when the majority had given notice that it was going to unseat an elected member that ma- jority must have a quorum, ‘The point of order was discussed by Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), Mr. Holman (Ind.) and Mr. Reilly (Pa). ‘THE SPEAKER'S DECISION ON THE QUORUM QUES- TION. The Speaker premised his decision with the reservation that if after careful examination he would find precedent in opposition to it he would not adhere to it. ‘Lhe chair had a distinct recollection that Speaker Randall bad held that a quorum was a ve pie of the living members, but he could not find the decision in the journal. The decision of Speaker Grow in 1861 did not appeur, on examination, to go so far as the chair and some members had thought, it only went to the extent of saying that a majority of those members originally chosen would con- stitute a quorum of the House. The question asto whether a majority of those sworn in should constitute @ quorum had been left in abeyance. All previous decisions had been that a quorum must consist of a majority of those that might have been chosen. The only hesitancy on the et of the chair was his recollection of the opinion of Speaker Randall. Nevertheless the chair did not think that any doubtful decision ought to be made and would therefore adhere to the rule that ON® HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX MEMBERS CONBTI- TUTED A QUORUM, Acall of the House was therefore ordered and asa few democrats entered the chamber the presence of 170 members was disclosed, THE JOURNAL APPOVED.
