Although the mnnouneement of the fact

Washington Wed d end ay night bid been
made when bat few members were id at
tendance, runners wern sent out te notify
absentee, and about 123 Dsmecratla mem
bers el the Heuse were present when the
eiucus wan called te elder. 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.
Speaker Carlisle Is Bald te have atrrngly
advocated the acceptance of this proffered
compromise.
Mr. Helman made a speech In which he
declared that the present proceedings were
of the most extraordinary character ever
witnessed In a legislative body, exhibiting
the spectacle of a great msjerlty retreating
before a small minority, lieealled en Mr,
Oites te state bis position In the matter.
Mr. Oalea replied that he, had come Inte
the csueus witu the expectation of making
some concessions. 11 he followed hla own
views he would consent te no measure that
did net involve the absolute defeat of the
bill. But he was a Deme:rat, and If the
caucus should decide against him he would
ablde by Its decision and support It with
his vote. Thi 4 declaration was received
with applause by the oaueus.
Mr. Oates added that be favored the pro
posed postponement of the bill, but would
regret te see the caucus agree te the condi
tion that a vote should be taken upon It at
a fixed date. Much debate followed, and
the caucus finally adopted the following
resolution :
Jlcselved, That en reassembljng to-mer-row
the Heuse shall arijaurn with the
understanding that the committee en rnlea
will report a speelal order setting apart

te exceed tbree days, viz : Thursday, Sat
urday and Tuesday, snail be allowed for
debate and amendment, and n time for
vote en its llnal passage shall be ilxed at 4
o'clock en Tuesday.
Mr. Cox, en calling the caucus te order
made a short speech In which he appealed
te lits Democratic colleagues te present a
united front and sacrifice their individual
feelings for the sake of party harmony,
which sentiment was vociferously ap
plauded. 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. Mr. Oates, el Alabama, who
led the filibusters, is being congratulated
for his masterly fljht He says the ques
tion Is settled until Congress reassembles
next winter, but that there la no disposi
tion te fight a final vote further at that time.
He will net Bay what he thinks the result
will be when the bill comes up again.

waa unsuccessful. It new appears that he
worked bis game successfully In this city
and ether placea. He operated mostly
among people of his own color, and thla
waa the way he did It. He would call
en a family and tell them that a rela
tive In another place had died with
a life Insurance In their favor. He
repreaented himself aa the agent of
tbe Insurance company and said If the
folks would glve him a certain sum el
money he would bring the body home and
put them In the way te seenre the Insur
ance. Frem Marietta the man came tn

that he would attend te having the body
breugh te Philadelphia If Mrs, Cook would
