A geed deal of apprehension had been lelt lest the eall would net result In a full meeting, and rumors were current that Mr. Rtadsll and ether prominent Democrats had declared aitaluHt h ciucus, but these feara were allayed wben that gentleman put In an tuny appearance Ttie proceedings ran smoothly and no bad feellnR was developed. A number of motions were proposed as a basts of com cem com prera'se, the rusjerlty of them looking te a fiostpenemint 01 the tax bill te mere or bs distant date. After many motions had been ollerml a preposition watmade by Mr. O'Perrall, of Virginia? representing what he said was the extreme limit of the conoea cenoea coneea alons that would be made by the friends of the bilL 1 his preposition provided that the direct tax bill should be postponed until December 15 next, with a condition that when It shall thi n be taken up a reas onable time will be allowed for debate and a vote taken en It.

THK DEADLOCK nROKEN. WAsniKUTON, April 12. The Heuse by a vote of 130 te 133 has relused te adjourn and the legislative day of Wednesday April 4 still continues. The Bcene which followed the announce ment el the vete resulting In a failure te adjourn the Heuse was the most exciting that hat taken place during the long dead lock. Naturally the Republicans expected defeat after the caucus action of last night, and the rerusal of the Heuse te adjourn was a great surprise. Aa one man 132 Republicans began te applaud, while their rears of laughter, Intermingled with yelle, rang out into the corridors like a storm. The speaker pounded en his desk for order. A half dozen Democrats sprang te their feet and began a demand ter a call of the Heuse. Mr. Kan d all arose, secured recognition and attempted te make a statement but finally shrugged his Bbeulders and sat down emld the din. The Republicans as their noise ceased steed up acd de manded in loud cries the regular order. It was a soene fit for Bedlam. There waa a ciewd about Mr. Sewdcn, of Pennsylvania, the only Democrat who refpsed te aland by the caucus action, and he was implored te meve a .reconsideration of the vete by which the Heuso refused te adjourn. This he would net de. The motion for call of the Heuse was withdrawn and unanimously I he ayes and nays were ordered en a mo tto a that the Heme adjourn. TUe motion prevailed by a vete of 143 te 137. When the vote waa announced both tides began almost deafening applause. Mem bers rose and hurled documents, lettera and scraps of paperaln the air and screamed with delight. The Republicans seemed te enjoy the occasion a much aa the lit ere, and amid the noise which prevailed hurled geed-natured taunts across the hall. The speaker's declaration that the Heuse steed adjourned until 12 o'clock to morrow could net be heard twenty feet distant. The friends or the direct tax bill are a geed deal disappointed at the turn utlalra have taken and regard the action en the measure as definitely post poned until next Daceaiber, but they sty they are well satisfied with the record they have made and believe the country will sus tain their action.
