Challenge of McClelland.
THENEWLOCALCLDBWAKTSBLAIR
The magnates of the National League
continued their meeting and resolved to
have a ten-club league. Blair, the local
pitcher, is wanted by the new local club.
An English pedestrian accepts, lrom En
gland, the challenge of E. C. McClelland.
NEW Yoek, January SO. The National
League settled one important matter to-day
and that -was the membership problem. The
' question of an increase or decrease in the
number of clnbs, or keeping the League as
it stands has been a source of great annoy
ance and to-day's session, which lasted about
three hours, was chiefly confined to that
subject. It has been generally belieTed,
but without any sufficient reason, that both
"Washington and Indianapolis would step
out, thus leaving the League with eight
clubs. Both Mr. Brush and Mr. Hewitt,
however, claimed that they never enter
tained such an idea, and furthermore, noth
ing could induce them to retire. If the League
chose to vote them out, that was a different
thing. This the League magnates said they
would not do under any circumstances,
wrxii STICK TO TEN.
Then came as effort to increase the member
ship to 12 clubs. Ex-President Stearns, of the
Detroit club, appeared to be tho prime mover
in the scheme, and to give his case a Igtle
stroncer backing he invited Mr. Vondertorst,
the leading factor in the Baltimore club, to be
present at the League meeting, and if possible
tender applications for membership. Both Mr.
Stearns and Mr. Vonaerhorst appeared before
the delegates by invitation, and it'is said that
Mr. Stearns made an urgent request that the
Detroits be admitted into the fold again. The
members talked the matter over and finally de
cided to let the matter drop without bringing it
to a vote. This means, as The Dispatch pre
dicted yesterday, that the League will consist
of ten clnbs at least for another year.
A communication which rather surprised the
members as received from Bob Leadljr, the
agent of the Buffalo club, of the International
Association, which was owned by Rowe and
"White, nut which is snpposed to have been
sold or transferred just to meet the emergency,
to the effect that he was authorized to negoti
ate with the National Leacue for the sale of
the following named players:
a Foymr scheme.
M. P. Lehane. 11,750: a C. Collins. J1.000; J.
J. Eeidy, 1350: E. J. Flynn, S200; W. W. Andrns.
1250; a Hamburg, $500; A. Shepard; $350; P. E.
Dealy, 200. The communication was referred
to the Negotiations Committee, with much sus
picion attached to it.
The question of uniforms was discussed, and
it was decided to direct all dobs to wear white
uniforms, excepting stockings, caps and belts,
when playing upon their grounds, and any
color they choose to select when playing
abroad.
A motion was made to apportion the number
of persons to be admitted free into the regular
grounds. It was referred to the Schedule Com
mittee, which will meet at Cleveland on Tues
day. March 4. It may be necessary to change
the date to the 3d.
MASAOEE POYTEBS EXPLAINS.
Manager Powers, who is a pretty level
headed man in baseball affairs, explained to a
Dispatch reporter exactly why the Board of
Arbitration decided as they did in the case of
the Atlantic Association against three mem
bers that left the organization and joined the
New England League. "The fact is," said
Manacer Powers, "the Atlantic Association
asked lor something that didn't belong to it.
The decision was all right, bnt Lowell, Hart
ford and Worcester made a mistake. They
should have asked the privilege of the Board
of Arbitration to resign and then gone at once.
But they want to carry water on both shoul
ders. "Now let me cive you an example. Only a
year -ago the Newark and Jersey City clnbs
who were members of the Central League and
under the protection of the National agreement
were anxious to torm a new organization. They
wanted Worcester, then of the Dew England
Ijeagne to join them in the worst way. The re
sult was the Atlantic Association was formed
and the players of the Newark, Jersey City and
Worcester clubs joined the Association and
carried their players with them by permission
of the Board of Arbitration. The clubs still
remaining in the Central Leacue retained their
players, and Elmlra, one of the clubs, finally
entered the New York State League.
"I cannot see. therefore, why the Atlantic
Association should complain about the decision
In the present instance, as I consider it a simi
lar case to that which I have first mentioned,
and then they happened to be greatly benefited
thereby.
"There is no denying the fact that the consti
tution of the Atlantic Association is faulty,
and in direct conflict with the National agree
ment." TEIIKG FOR BLAIR.
The New Local Clnb Keadr to SIcn the
Local Pitcher.
Since the deal with Ad Gumbert has been
declared off the officials of the local Players'
club have been trying to secure another Pitts
bnrg pitcher. Ultimately they have fixed on
William Blair, of the East End, who pitched
for the Hamilton International club last season.
Manager Hanlon is anxious to have a "home"
battery, and a contract has been made oat
ready for Blair to sign. If be signs, he and
Tommy Qumn will be the "Pittsburg" battery.
The terms offered are something like $2,200 for
the first year and an increase in 1691, and an
other in 1892 if his pitching is satisfactory.
There are some difficulties in the way, how
ever. Mr. Spalding, of Chicago, is earnestly
after Blair and has made him a good offer:- be
sides, Hamilton Club refuses to release Blair
unless $1,000 are paid for his release. Blair has
sffered the Hamilton Club $500 for bis release
and this is supposed to mean that he desires to
Jo to Chicago, because be cannot go there un
ess he secures his release. If, however, the
Hamilton Club refuses to speedily accept the
$500. be will sign a Pittsburg Players' contract
and Hamilton will get nothing. Some of his
friends are urging him to sign a new League
contract and he may at once and ignore Ham
ilton entirely. He absolutely reiuses to play
again at Hamilton as he claims that bis treat
ment there last season was very ungenerous.
Blair is a promising young pitcher and has
done some good work in the Southern, Tri
State and International Leagues.

Peter Priddy has now commenced active

Smith said:
"We have been looking at the track, and
there will only be abont 150 yards interfered
with. But I think it can be rolled and pnt all
right for the race on March 1."
Regarding the date of the race, the follow

yesterday:
Pitteeueg, January 29, 1S90.
To the Sporting Editor of The DIiDatcb:
Deab SIB-Could not the date for the McClel-land-Frlady
foot race be changed to February 22,
above mentioned date being a legal holiday be
sides falling on Saturday this yearr I am sure the

Boston. January 30.-Public sparring, as far
as municipal sanction is concerned has received
its death blow. Mayor Hart is strongly op
posed to it, and In this opposition he has the
sanction of numbers of the religious people of
the city. All day Testerday people flocked to
City Hall and stormed and railed at the Com
mittee on Licenses for having given a license
for the Music Hall exhibition last night. So
heavy has been the pressure that the Commit
tee on Licenses have about made up their
minds never to issue another license for an ex
hibition where sparring is to be indulged in.
Said a member of the Board of Aldermen to
day: "There will be no more licenses for this
sort of thing given. The Mayor and a large
portion of the people are opposed to it and we
are bound to respect their opinions.
"Bnt what will some of the Back Bay clubs

T don't know, neither do 1 care. The swell

can't. That's all there is about that."

The challenge of K C. McClelland, which ap
peared in The Dispatch some time ago to the
effect that he would run anybody in the world
ten miles, is now answered by an Englishman
from his home. This indicates that the news
tendered by this paper travels very far and in
a very direct manner. The reply of course
does not go to the 10-mile limit, but it begins
with the minimnm under three miles. Courtney
evidently had seen it in the London Sporting
Life. Here it is:
LANDTOnT, England. January 14, 1S90.
Dear BIB Seeing In the Sporting Lift at

Archbishop Ireland Denounces Some Rnmors

St. Paul, January 30. Regarding the re
ports published in Montreal and telegraphed
from that city over the country to the effect
that Archbishop Ireland, of this city, is to
be appointed Cardinal, that prelate said to a
reporter this evening: "These reports
abont new Cardinals, whether in the
United States or Canada, are simply nonsense.
I do not say that in the distant f nture there
may not be two Cardinals In the United States,
but neither of them will be in the West. And
by no possibility will we see two Cardinals in
Canada.
"The rumors floating throught the country
originate with irresponsible persons, and, once
inserted in a newspaper, tbey fly around
through the press of the country with no sig
nificance whatever. On a par with these
rumors is this other, that our present American
Cardinal will be Pope. Those who understand
Catholic matters pay no attention to these
rumors. Rome has her own way ol doins things
and that way is well understood by her pre

does not come out through newspaper gossip."

Speaker shall be sustained. Of course, Mr.
Beed did not act entirely on his own notion.
He consulted with the leaders of his party
or, at least, told them what he had de
termined upon."
Among those who are enthusiastic over
the situation is Representative Dalzell. "I
am glad," he said this evening, "that a man
has at last been fonnd who has the nerve
and bravery to take hold of this abuse and
fight it down. No one who 'studies the
question intelligently and with an un
prejudiced mind, can fail to see that he is
right, and fie should have the earnest sup

orderly legislation, and who prefers calm
argument to reckless filibustering.
THINKS THE FIGHT OVEB.
"I believe the fight is over, and that by
2 or 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon I shall
be delivering my speech on the Smith vs.
Jackson contested election case. I suppose
there will be a brief fight to-morrow over
the reading of the journal, with probably
one roll call. Then, possibly, there may be
one call on a'dilatory motion to adjourn. I
think that will be all. It is conceded on all
hands that the Kepublicans worsted the
opposition at every turn to-day. I do not
think Mr. Carlisle desires to continue the
fight, and I believe the last expiring groan
of the advocates of delay and filibustering
will be heard in the early hours of to-morrow's
session."
The substantial and serions features of
the session of to-day were the speeches of

unmercifully so many times that the ruling
on the quorum question was tenfold more

SECOND KNOCK-DOWN.
THE
TACTICS
AGAIN
OF SPUAKER
VICTORIOUS.
REED
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, tho Prominent Mi
nority Kicker McKinley and Batter
worth In Support of Tbelr
Speaker Details of
the Asony.
"Washington, January 30. The press
account of the day's exciting proceedings in
the House is as follows:
The galleries of the House were crowded to
their utmost capacity long before noon to-day
by spectators anticipating a resumption of the
contest of yesterday. Nor were they disap
pointed ; for as the clerk read the Journal in
the usual manner, omitting the detailed vote
by yeas and nays on the question of considera
tion against the contested election case. Mr.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, rose and demanded
the reading of the f nil vote. After a moment's
hesitation the Speaker directed this to be done.
This having been completed, Mr. Breckinridge
demanded the reading of tbe names of those
not voting, and the Speaker ordered this to be
done also. Then Mr. Springer, of Illinois, de
manded the reading in full of the .statement of
Speaker Reed, giving the gronnds for his rul
ing yesterday, and the clerk proceeded to read
accordingly.
The reading; of the journal having been com
pleted. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio,moved that the
journal be approved, and upon that motion de
manded tbe previous question. Mr. Blanchard,
of Louisiana, was immediately on his feet,
rising to a question of personal privilege re
lating to the journal, but the Speaker de
clined to recognize him on the ground that a
demand for the previous question was pending.
A CODE OF RULES -WANTED.
Mr. Sprincer, ot Illinois, moved an adjourn
ment, and demanded the yeas and nays. While
the vote was being taken on ordering them,
Mr. Springer stated that his object was to al
low the Committee on Rules to prepare a code
of rules. One hundred and twenty-tour mem
bers rose to demand the yeas and nays. The
Speaker declared this to be a sufficient num
ber, and directed tbe clerk to call the roll.
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, moved to reconsider
the vote by which the yeas and nays were or
dered, bnt tbe Speaker declined to recognize
him. whereupon Mr. Bland shouted, amid so
much confusion that his words were not fully
audible to many persons: "You are tbe meanest
tyrant that ever ruled over a legislative body,
and I denounce" The remainder of the
sentence was drowned in a wave of cheers from
the Democratic side.
The roll was then called and the motion was
declared defeated yeas, H2; nays, 160. The
question then recurred on the demand for the
previous quesuun uu iue approval qi mo jour
nal, and the yeas and nays bavingbeen ordered,
the order "Don't vote" was passed aronnd the
Democratic side of the chamber, and studious
ly obeyed. Before the vote was announced the
Speaker directed the clerk to record the fol
lowing names of members present and not vot
ing: Messrs. Breckinridge, of Arkansas; Car
lisle. Clements, Crain, Crisp, Culberson, of
Texas; Dockery, Enloe, Goodnight, Hemphill,
Hooker, Kilgore, Lane, McCreary. McMillin,
Montgomery, Moore, of Texas; Oates and
Outhwaite.
Mr. Chipman, of Michigan, raised a burst of
laughter by bis complaint that he had been
present and not voting, and that his name was
not upon the Speaker's list.
A QUORUM ANNOUNCED.
The Speaker then announced the vote to
stand. Yeas, 160; nays, 1 (Mr. Buckalew), and
added: "Which, in addition to the gentlemen
present, constitutes a quorum, and the previous
question is ordered."
This bronght forth a storm of applause from
the Republican side. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia,
wished to appeal from the decision, but tbe
Speaker sided with the point of order raised
by Mr. McKinley. of Ohio, that the appeal was
not in order, as another appeal was pending.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, made the point of.
order that no quorum bad voted, and said that
if tbe Speaker so decided be would appeal.
The Speaker And the Chair declines to en
tertain the appeal-of the centleman from Illi
nois. Applause on the Republican side and
hisses troin tbe Democrats. Then, amid wild
cheering on tbe Democratic slot, Mr. Breckin
ridge, of Kentucky, rushed down the aisle, and.
standing in front of the Speaker, exclaimed:
"From tbat we appeal. There is no appeal
pending. There was an appeal yesterday, lint
this is a different appeal because the Speaker
is assuming that the House will sustain his
decision of yesterday, and so is carrying, by his
own vote, tbe decision he has made. It there
fore does not come with the rule as stated by
tbe gentleman from Ohio (Mr. McKinley), and
tbe eag law which that gentleman, with tbe
help of the Speaker, has applied to-day is usur
patory. revolutionary and corrupt."
Cheer after cheer rose from the Democratic
side, mingled with hisses from the Republicans,
until the House resembled a perfect bedlam.
In tbe midst of tbe tumnlt the Speaker stated
the question to be on tbe motion to approve the
journal, and the eas and nays having been or
dered, directed the clerk to call tbe roll. Owing
to the comusiou many xcinucrauu uicuiueia
did not understand the question as put by the
Chair, and another scene of excitement ensued,
dozens of members arising and demanding to
know what they were to vote upon.
A DEMOCBAT'S opinion.
The Speaker attempted In vain to restore
order, though one Democrat was heard to shont
above the turmoil tbat the House was as much
in order as the Speaker. A lull occurred, how
ever when Mr. Carlisle arose and hoped that
tbe roll call would be suspended until order
was restored. Several members did not under
stand the question.
Tbe Speaker replied that he had carefully
stated the question, if it had not been beard,
it was owlne to the confusion made by the
very gentlemen who were now caraplalning
that they did not know what the question was.
(Load applause In Republican side.)
The Speaker Gentlemen will be in order;
applause is unsuitable.
The Speaker stated that be would have re
stated the question, bnt tbat tbe disorder con
tinued to prevail, and there wa no other
remedy than to proceed with business which
was not to be interrupted by either applause or
Mr. Carlisle remarked that some time gentle
men (on account of disorder) did not under
stand the question. He thought that where a
gentleman arose and stated in good faith that
THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
he did not hear the question, it should be re.
stilted
Mr. 'Crain, of Texas, replied sarcastically
that there was no sounder general parliament
The Speaker It is under general parliamen
tary law, which involves always the preserva
tion of order In an assembly by the united
order of every individual member.
The Speaker then re-stated the question, and
the vote resulted yeas, 162; nays. 1. Tho
Speaker declared the motion carried, and
directed the Clerk to enter on the journal the
following names of members as present, but
not voting: Messrs. Bankhead, Brecklnridce, ot
Arkansas; Carlisle, Clements, Compton, Crain,
Crisp and Culberson, of Texas: Goodnight,
Hayes, Hooker. Lane, Lawler, Martin,
of Texas; McAdoo, McRae, Mont
gomery, Morgan, O'Ferrall and Tillman,
COULDN'T SHUT HIM UP.
Mr. Springer raised the point of no quorum,
but tbe Speaker declined to recognize him,
and instead recognized Mr. McKIuley, of
Ohio, to disenss tbe appeal taken from the de
cision of the Speaker yesterday. Mr. McKin
ley attempted to proceed, but Mr. Springer was
not to be silenced, and amid much confusion
continued to address the Chair. He insisted
upon his right to be beard, declarine, amid
much noise and confusion, that the, Speaker
must recognize bim when rising to a point of
order that no quorum had votedL The Speaker
replied that that was the question which was
about to be ascertained.
Mr. Springer I raise the point of order that
it requires a qnornm to approve the journal.
The Speaker The gentleman from Ohio will
proceed.
Mr. Springer Does the Speaker refuse to en
tertain a question of order fn this House?
The Speaker The gentleman from Ohio will
proceed.
Mr. Springer I rise to a question of order.
The fapeaker The gentleman from Ohio has
the floor.
Mr. Springer But I rise to a question of
order, which, If good, will take the gentleman
off the floor. ,
The Speaker The gentleman from Illinois
will be kind enough to take his seat.
Mr. Spnneer There are no rules requiring
me to take my seat. I can stand up if I desire.
I stand up, and assert my constitntional rights
as aeainst an arbitrary ruling of the Speaker,
and. In tbe name of my constituents, I protest
against it.
Mr. McKinley again attempted to proceed,
but Mr. Springer held bis ground, and finally
secured recognition. He then proceeded to
argue tbat eyen though tbe journal bad been
approved, it was in order for him to move to
correct it, and he, therefore, moved to correct
it by striking out the list of members present
and dot voting.
ME. M'KINLEY'S ARGUMENT.
The Speaker stated that that was a question
of recognition, and tbat be had already recog
nized the gentleman from Ohio. Mr. McKinley
then proceeded with bis argument. This ques
tion, he said, was important in every aspect, not
only to tbe majority, but to the minority. It was
of sufficient Importance to demand tbat mem
bers pause, and consider it, unmoved by passion
and unbiased by prejudice. "It was, as the gen
tleman from Kentucky (Mr, Carlisle) had said,
a constitutional rather than a parliamentary
question. Tbe Speaker bad a right, he con
tinued, to proceed to note that SO or 35 members
who had refused to vote ona roll call were pres
ent in their seats. All that was involved in the
appeal was simply a question of fact. Was not
tbe Speaker correct? Did any gentleman whose
name was disclosed by tbe count rise in his
place and declare that he-was not present? N ot
one. Tbe Constitution did not declare that a ma
jority of the memberswhoanswerto their names
shonldl constitute a quorum. It was decided
how the question of majority should be deter
mined. Tbat was left to the House, and the
House left it to the Speaker. Under general
parliamentary law the Speaker had the right
to count the members, and if there was no
quorum, to stop all business. The principal
was distinctly established that the presiding
officer might count, and it was his duty to
count tbe number of members who might be
present to constitute a quorum. The gentle
man from Kentucky (Mr. Carlisle) bad de
clared that under tbe Speaker's decision one
Representative could pass a bill with 167 mem
bers sitting in their seats in silence. So he
could, and so he ought to. If 167 members sat
in silence and refused to vote when tbelr votes
would defeat tbe proposition, then the vote of
a single member ought to pass tbe bill. And this
was done over and over again in every week or
every session of Congress that had been held
in the last century.
HOW VETOES ABE TEEATED.
Mr. Carlisle suggested that the Constitution
provided that, when the President vetoed a
measure, it should not become a law unless re
passed by a vote of two-thirds. He understood
the gentleman to contend that, if 163 members
were present, any part of tbat nnmber voting
(tbe others remaining silent) might pass tbe
bill. Did the gentleman hold that one man
could pass a bill over the President's veto?
Mr. McKinley replied that he was not dis
cussing tho question as to what the House,
could do on a bill sent back by the President.
That was a Constitutional provision.
Mr. Carlisle said that no bigger quorum was
required than when any other measure was be
fore the House.
Mr. McKinley The gentleman will recall
that under the very provision of the Constitu
tion, a Yea and nay vote was required. It is
not required on the passing of other bills.
Mr. Carlisle But one-fifth of tbe members
have a right to require that the yeas and nays
under the Constitution be imperative as the
other. I Applause on the Democratic side.
Mr. McKinley When gentlemen sit in their
seats and refuse to perform a public duty, tbey
are repudiating a great public trust. Ap
plause on tbe Republican side.
HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE.
Continuing, Mr. McKinley said that Mr. Car
lisle, as Speaker, had repeatedly signed bills
and resolntions which had never received the
constitutional majority. He had done it over
and over again, and done It, too, when the pub
lic record of the House, as announced by him
self, showed tbat less than a majority of the
House bad voted. Tbe action ot tbe Demo
crats, yesterday, bad never been dreamed of
by tbe fathers of the Constitution. They bad
never dreamed of sullen silence as a states
manship way of destroying a quorum. He was
not saying tbat the Democrats were doing dif
ferent from what the Republican party had done
for years. He. himself, bad bad stood here and
filibustered, day after day, in silence, refusing
to vote.Jbut be could not now recall tbat he
had ever done It with a high or noble or a worthy
purpose, Applause, and there had never been
a time tbat he could remember tbat he so felt
ashamed of himself. Applause. Not only
bad tbat been bis feeling in the past, but if
gentlemen would be honest with themselves
and others they would remember how com
monly filibustering bad been carried on on ac
count of personal pique. Tbey had no business
to turn upon the Republicans, who were here
and ready to do business, and call them revo
lutionists. The gentlemen on tbe other side
wanted to perpetuate a fiction which declared
tbat although members were present in tbelr
teats tbey should be held to be constructively
absent. The Republicans were contending that
this should be a tact and a trnth and not a
fiction, and that members who sat in their seats
should be counted as present, because tbey
were p resent. Applause on the Republican
side.
TIME TO TELI. THE TRUTH.
The Democrats wanted the journal to declare
a lie, said the speaker. The Republicans
wanted the journal to declare the truth. Ap
plause. It was about time to stop this legal
U fiction. Let members be bonest with each
other. Let them defeat a Din ma constitu
tional way, by debate, by amendment, by a yea
and nay vote, expressive of their judgment.
This controversy was to determine whether a
majority should rule and govern, or be subject
to the tyranny of a minority. Talk about the
tyranny of a majority! The tyranny of the
minority was infinitely more odious. The posi
tion of the gentlemen on the other side meant
that tbey would either ruin or rule, though
they were in the minority. The Republicans
insisted that while they were in the majority
the other side should do neither, Applause
on the Republican side.
Mr. Crisp In the language of Mr. Blaine, I
deny utterly your right to say that I am
present.
Mr. McKinley We are discussing whether
that is rieht or wrong.
Mr. Crisp 1 place Mr. Blaine against the
gentleman.
Mr. McRinlev We settled one question at a
great deal of cost that the minority could not
rule In this country applause, and we intend
to settle, if we caniu the broad light of pub
lic opinion and in tbe presence of 60,000,000 of
people, whether tbe Constitutional majority of
this Honse should do tbe business of the
House. Applause.
HE CAIXS IT ANARCHY.
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, believed that If the
wild view presented here was once engrafted
on the practice of the House it would inaugu
rate a feign of anarchy and profligacy.un
precedented in tbe annals of tho country. He
controverted the power of the Speaker to have
the names entered on the journal. The
Speaker had no more control over the minutes
than he (Mr. Turner) had. If the Speaker
wanted to pnt on the journal this stigma at
taching to his name, why had he (Turner) not
as mnch right, as a member of the House, as
the Speaker to direct tbe clerk to omit his
name from the journal? And when the issue
was thus stated to the officer who was to decide
it would the officer bow to the gentle
man into whose hands the gavel bad
been put as the one man who could control the
iournal. and should he (Turner) be powerless?
Applause on the Democratic side, He asked
members to put behind them this temptation.
Tbe flag which was so appropriately placed
above the Speaker's chair was itself a defiance
of arbitrary power applause on the
Democratic side, and everywhere else on
earth, on land and sea, it was the standard of
popular freedom. Applause. Should it be
np)AY; JANUARY 81,
said that here, of all places, there was only the
despotic sway of a single man, whom the ma
Inrlty in power had placed in the chair of the
House of Representatives? lApplause on the
Democratic side.
BUTTERWORTH'S SPEECH.
Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, said that this
question went to the power of the majority to
rule in this country. Members determine to
day whether the Constitution contained In
itself the element of suicide. This was a gov
ernment of tbe people. Expressed in another
way it was tbe government of the majority.
The majority must exercise tbat authority in
legislation and government which was in keep
ing with tbe furtherance of the provisions of
tbe Constitution. Tbe majority of the House
must oo that. It had been argued that it was
for a member to answer to himself and to bis
constituents alone whether ne would vote and
discbarge his duty here or not. He utterly
denied the soundness of that proposition.
That would have done when it was beld that
members were ambassadors from the States;
it wonld not do in January, 1890.
Applause on the Republican side.
He was not here to legislate
simply for himself and for his constituents.
He was here to legislate for tbe wbole country,
and the whole country had the right to exact
of him that be be in bis place and perform bis
duty, and for this reason the Constitution pro
vided tbat those who were present might bring
the absentees Into the chamber not to serve
their constituents, but to serve all the people of
the country, whose servants they were. Ap
plause on the Republican side. He agreed
that members must be not only present, but
participating. He was of the opinion that tbe
gentlemen were participating yesterday. If
they were not, what were they doing? What
did they mean by participating? Silence was
eloquent. Their silence, if it had been the
last day of this session and the army appropri
ation bill had been pending, would have been
more eloquent to the people than their com
bined voices.
MIGHT BLOCK BUSINESS.
Suppose, said tbe speaker, the minority
should decide tbat they would not participate,
and refuse to vote for a general appropriation
bill. What wonld he the effect of their action?
Under the Constitution the Government conld
not use a penny, though the wheels of Govern
ment stood still in tbe presence of an unex
ampled and unqualified surplus and overtaxed
.people. Gentlemen on the other side sat here,
in the flesh and body present. He saw them
nay, the countrv saw them and yet, the coun
try might starve to death by their inaction.
Was that revolutionary or not? If that was
not revolutionary, would tbe gentlemen point
him to a method and instrumentality that would
put its Angers more definitely with a death grip
on the throat of the country? The
Speaker might as well sit down on his
legal friend from Alabama, and say:
"I am not participating." The under indi
vidual would have the liveliest appreciation of
the tact that he was not actively participating,
though he might be as silent as a milestone.
Liaugnter.J xne ioea oi meoiuera uot. yarui;
oating when they were sitting in their chairs
drawing from $10 to $12 a dayl Laughter. He
insisted that by every rule of common sense
the members were participating. Laughter.
"They also serve who only stand and wait."
Laughter. If gentlemen on the other side
might say what measure they would not con
sider they might also say what measure they
wonld consider. The Speaker had not only
discharged the duty which devolved upon him
in this matter, but one which he could not
avoid under his oath of office if he would.
THE RULE FOR IT.
A member on the Democratic side suggested
that there was no rule for what the Republi
cans were attempting to do.
"Yes, we have a rule." Mr. Butterworth re
torted, "and you have discovered It." Shouts
of applause on the Republican side that were
taken up and repeated in the galleries.
The Speaker interposed, saying: "Applause
on the floor is not entirely suitable, but ap
plause in the galleries is entirely unsuitable
and must be stopped."
Mr. Butterworth concluded as follows: "The
right of the minority, which the fathers pro
vided for, was the right to amend, or to do
whatsoever they wished to perfect legislation.
But the sovereign will of the people is repre
sented in the majority, and until that right
shall be overthrown, by revolution or other
wise, the decision of tbe Speaker must be up
held as vindicating the rights of all the people
of this countiy." Applause.
Jir. Aiciviniey moveu u ijr wu me nu wuo
appeal from tbe Speaker's decision. Shouts of
disapproval were beard on the Democratic
side, but Mr. McKinley persisted in his motion,
and Mr. Springer moved that the House ad
journ. On a rising vote the result was an
nounced as, ayes 121, noes 149.
Mr. Springer demanded the yeas and nays,
and when they were called the result was an
nounced as yeas 145. noes 161. So the House
refused to adjourn, and the question recurred
on tbe motion to lay the appeal on the table, on
which question the yeas and nays were de
manded from the Democratic side.
THE SAME OLD STORT.
' Tho clerk proceeded with the call, no Demo
crat responding, and most of them leaving
their seats and retiring to the cloak rooms.
The Speaker, however, followed the roll-call,
and noted down the names of Democrats
present but not voting. The non-voting mem
bers were again called (as is the custom), but
still no Democrats responded. When the vote
was completed tbe Speaker took the return
from the tally clerk and said: "The clerk will
record the followingnames ot members present
and declining to vote." and be read out the
names of Bland, Bnckner, Carlisle, Clarke, of
Alabama: Crisp, Culbertson, of Texas: Enloe,
Flower, Geissenheimer, Goodnight, Herbert,
Holinan. Lane, Lanbam, Mansur. McAdoo,
McMillin, McRae. Paynter. Splnola, Springer,
Stewart, of Georgia; Stone, ot Kentucky; Till
Tr.an Tnmur- of Georina. and Wheeler, of Ala
bama. He then announced the vote as 162 yeas
and none In the negative, and declared that the
motion to lay the appeal on the table was
carried.
There were shouts of "Ko quorum" and ex
clamations of indignation on tbe Democratic
side, but in the midst of the tumult and up
roar the Speaker recognized Mr. McKinley for
a motion to adjourn: put it, and declared It
carried; but befce he left tbe chair (amid
shouts of "Shame" from the excited Demo
crats), he paused long enough to give Mr.
Springer a chance to say that be had demanded
tbe yeas and nays. The speaker said he had
beard no request for the yeas and nays, but if
the gentleman from Illinois said tbat be rose
in bis place and called for them, tbe Speaker
would recognize the demand. And so Mr.
Springer bad tbe poor satisfaction of having
the yeas and nays called yeas 194, nayi 57.
And so the House adjourned until to-morrow
the Republicans jubilant at tbelr success,
and the Democrats correspondingly depressed.

rSFXCIAI. TXLSOBAK TO TUX DISFATCn.1
Columbus, January 30. Lieutenant
Governor Lampson was ousted from office
this evening by what tbe Republicans con
sider one of the most arbitrary actions ever
perpetrated by a legislative body in Ohio.
The Senate this morning resumed consid
eration of the summarized testimony which
had been prepared by ex-Congressman Con
verse and T. E. Powell, attorneys for Mar
quis, t They do not pretend to deny that
they prepared the testimony for the occa
sion, and that the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, to which the subject was re
ferred, had not heard or read the testimony.
After going over the case the attorneys
made a long argument in which they soaght
to show from the evidence which they
claimed to have tbat Marqnis had 200 ma
jority. The Republicans took no hand in
the proceedings farther than to protest
against the illegal course at every opportu
nity, and this they did in the most ap
proved manner.
REPUBLICANS HOLD ALOOF.
The attorneys for Lampson, with the ex
ception of a brief statement by
Judge Nash, made no argument in
the case, but claimed that the statutes
prescribed the manner in which contests
shall be conducted and that they were
ready to proceed in open Senate with the
hearing. The gag law was applied from
beginning to ena ana tne j-iemocrauc irai
dent pro tern did not want to allowthe Re
publican members to explain their votes,
which had been provided bv the rules
which were adopted for the trial of the case.
- In order to make themselves heard, the
Republican members had to get on the floor
and yell, several at a time, while the chair
was instructing the sergeant-av-arms to sup
press them. It looked for a time, in the
confusion, as there wonld be personal en
counters, and several of the Republican
Senators were quite roughly handled by the
officers who were doing the bidding of the
chair.
A PERSISTENT MINORITY.
By persistency the minority side succeed
ing in getting their allowance of time to ex
plain their votes, and they each poured hot
shot on head of President pro tern Adams,
denouncing him as being incapable of en
tertaining an honest idea in connection with
the contest. The speeches were about all of
the same tenor, and insisted that no honest
man conld vote forthe ousting of Lampson on
the ex-parte showing, which has been made
without violating his oath and committing
a crime.
The roll was called and the result was 18
to 16 in favor of ousting, and Mr. Lampson
was declared a common citizen. After the
nroceediners had concluded Lampson made
a brief explanation by permission, in which
he notified the majority that he considered
he was Lieutenant Governor of the State,
that he had had no hearing, and tbat he
would hold himself in readiness to perform
the duties of the office.
THE END NOT YET.
He said the case would be taken to the
Supreme Court on quo warranto proceedings
as soon as the proper papers could be pre
pared. The Republicans offered no evi
dence before the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, claiming that the statutes
prescribed how a contest should be con
ducted, hence the ouster is strictly upon
one side's testimony prepared by attor
neys to fit the case.
The Democratic members of the Senate
offer no excuse for their action further than to
Btate that it is in return for the rnlings of
Bob Kennedy in 1886. Mr. Marquis, who
was declared elected, is at his home in Belle
fontaine, sick, and will not be here for some
days.

A DIABOLICAL PLOT FEUSTEATED.
An Attempt to Blow Up a Die Powder
Factory Doesn't Hncceed.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUX DISPATCH.1
Wilmington, Del., January 30. The
attempt to blow up a pressroom in the
powder yards of F. J. Dupont, De Nemours
& Co., on the Brandywine, north of this
city bas created a marked sensation. When
a day watchman went to the pressroom at 7
o'clock Monday morning he pushed aside
the sliding door. As he did so he looked
down at the track on which the door
slid, and saw a match. He stooped
to pick it up, and as he did so
he saw other matches. A search was made,
and 19 parlor matches were found, all
placed along the door track in such a way
that they were liable to be ignited when the
door was moved. The press room contained
six tons of powder, sufficient to have de
molished not only the building itself, but
adjoining buildings, which also contain
powder. At least four men would have
been killed had the mill been blown up.
The money loss would have been about
$30,000.
This attempt appears to be part of a de
liberate plot to destroy the property ot the
powder firm. The members of the firm
never taiK to ouisiuers oi vueir uusiuess.
Their employes have the same reticence,but
someone can always be found, if approached
in the right way, who will give more or less
information. The attempt is the last of a
series of incendiary attacks on the Duponts'
property.

while in Central Park, by shooting himself
in the left breast, He was taken to Bellevne
Hospital unconscious, and will probably
die. Several pawn tickets were found on

randa: "If anything should happen to me
my father is Dr. W. Lobscheid, Federal
street, Youngstown, O."
The would-be suicide wrote a letter to his
mother asking lorgiveness, and another to
M. Hagenbach saying he would die an infi
del. He has been in the city several
months, and it is supposed that he grew
despondent for want of funds and attempted

k HASTINGS DAY.
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL ENJOYS A
TINE FOX HUNT.
Ho Meets a Lot of Delaware County Poli
tician! All of Them tor Hustings for
Governor, at Least for the
Time Delog;.
ISrlCIAt TBLIOBXM TO TBI DISPATCH.!
Philadelphia, January 30. Five
thousand throats issued forth cheers for
Adjutant General Daniel H. Hastings, until
each individual throat must have been
hoarse, as his "handsome figure, mounted
on a magnificent black horse, started
off at the head ' of 400 huntsmen
in pursuit of a pretiy little fox that was let
loose in front of the Black Horse Hotel, one
mile, from .Elwyn, Delaware county,
to-day. The General's friends down in
Delaware county decided to get up a
reception In his honor to offset the one
given to Senator Delamater at West Chester
December 31, and to-day was the day deter
termined upon, and a fox hunt was made
the feature of tbe day.
The result was an unqualified success.
Delaware county has never had such a big
hunt in its history. The General went over
to Media "Wednesday night, in company
with Collector, Thomas V. Cooper, Cap
tain W. H. Carson, Deputy Col
lector H. Clay Marshall. A. J.
Logan, of Pittsburg, and W. A. Malin, of
Bellefonte. He was met at the Charier
House by a reception committee and given
a big reception, and although it was late when
ha retired, he was uu early this morning.
and when 8 o'clock, the hour of starting for
the Black Horse arrived, the General had
already grasped tbe hand of a half a thou
sand of the sturdy yoemanry.
A few minutes after 8 o'clock the Gene
ral, accompanied by a bodyguard of riders,
started for the scene of the day's sport.
When he arrived there he saw the biggest
crowd of people Delaware county has had
within its borders for some time. Cheers
greeted General Hastings as he appeared in
front of his hotel, and gracefully re
moving the hat he acknowledged them.
Everybody who came rode, and the teamj
that bronght them were of all ages, condi
tions and styles, from a bay cart to an elab
orate barouche, with liveried footman and
handsome mountings. There were boys in
profusion, and, as usual, in every place and
everywhere.
Philadelphia politicians met their coun
try schemers and talked about tbe Govern
orship. Society people from the surround
ing handsome' country residences rubbed
elbows with the farm laborer, and
rode with him in the hunt. Everybody
present had one principal object in view,
and that was to see General Hastings, and
shake him by the hand. They nearly all
accomplished their purpose, and although
the event was over early, the General's
right arm was handled oftener than ever
before.
At 11 o'clock tbe fox: was brought out and
liberated. The little fellow took in the
situation at once, and without further ado
made a bee line for the Newtown road. The
chase was an exciting one, but Reynard was
overtaken, after a half-hour's riding, and it
was only a little after noon when the day's
sport was done. Mr. Altemus took the fox
to General Hastings, and said he proposed
stuffing it and naming it after him. The
General thanked him, and afterward re
turned to Media, and later in the afternoon
came to this city.
In the great crowd present were many
prominent politicians, who mingled with
the crowd of yeomanry present, and nearly
everybody talked politics. It was a Hast
ings day, and everybody was for him for
Governor for to-day, at least.
