THE HOUSE DEADLOCK.
The Sixth Day of the Deadlock
Over the Direct Tax Bill
Passes
In the Usual Marnier 0ate3 Attempts
to Obtain a Committee of
Inquiry.
Eo Ezplain3 t!i3 Position of tho Pili
tusters The Ssnats Discusses Two
Measures.
Washington, April 10. In the Scnato
yc-t'rday the h.Il to sutiionzo tho sale to
alien-fcerlsii miucrul lands was taken
w for consider.:! ..-:i, and 31 r. Faulkner, a
member of the Committee on Mines and j
31 ii:ii, from which the bill had been re
poricJ. spoUo in opposition to it. Ho re- !
carded it, hn said, as a bdl fraught with
danger to the. country. The net of 1S37,
which thi.-i bill proposed to modify, was tho
first act passed which affected the holding
of real citato by aliens, and that act was
otttc't in principle, lie knew of no coun
try that permitted aliens or foreign corpo
rations to purchase and hold real estate.
The bill would not only allow individuals
ttfeoblain mineral rights in this country,
smt it would allow, and that was its pur
Jpsc. corporations formed in England,
Trance and Germany to purchase any nuin-
ber of patents to miuing lands. To that he
!was opposed.
Mr. Stewart said that there seemed to be
a total misapprehension of tho object of the
I bill. It left the law. so far as the mininir
claims were concerned, in the same condi
tion as if the act of 1SS7 had not passed.
And the Senator himself (Faulkner) had
demonstrated that no evil had resulted
from the law as it had then stood, because,
according to his own statement, there had
been only seventeen foreign companies out
of 1,171 that were engaged in deep mining.
There was not a State whose legislation
prevented foreigners being intrusted in
mines ;r railroads, and why, he asked,
should this discrimination be mado in the
Territories?
Tho discussion having closed, the ques
tion was taken on the amendment offered
bv Senator Faulkner, and the vote was
announced yt-as 2J, nays 17. No quorum
having voted, the roll was called, and
forty-six Senators answered to their
names.
"Without any further vote en the bill or
amendment, the bill was laid aside and the
unlinisk'l busincs; was taken up, being
the bill to provide for tho admission or Da
kota mto tli's Union, and for the organiza
tion of the T rritory of Lincoln. The sub
stitute reported from the Committee on
Terr tori'vs to the original bill established
the boundaries jf the proposed State, and
designated the remaining portions of the
present Territory as the Territory of North
Dakota (not Lincoln), with Bismarck as
the capita!.
After discussion, the bill went over until
to-day.
The ine-pasc from the President relative
to the purchase of lauds in Florida on
which to locate the Seminole Indians was
presented and referred to the Committee
on Indian Affairs.
Alter an executive session the Senate
adjourned.
HOUSE.
When the House met yesterday a demand
for the regular order from Mr. Reed, of
Maincopcncd the sixth day's contest over
the Direct Tax bill. The Speaker stated
the regular order to be the vote upon the
motion submitted by Mr. E. B. Taylor, of
Ohio, that the House go into Committee of
the Whole upon the Direct Tax bill. There
upon Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, and
Mr. "Weaver, of Iowa, mado dilatory mo
tions, and the first roll call or the calendar
day was proceeded with. Tho proceedings
after that wero utterly destitute of inter
est, being confined entirely to the repeated
calling of the roll on dilatory motions.
Until 2:30 the clerk continued to call the
roll upon the various dilatory motions sub
mitted, when the House found itself with
out a quorum, and Mr. Weaver moved an
adjournment. Some interest was shown
in this vote, as it would develop the
IF' strength of the onnosition to the measure
and disclose whether thcro was any sign
of weakening on cither side of the contro
versy. The motion was defeated yeas 80,
naj-s 1TA, there being practically no change
in the relative strength. A call of the
House was then ordered.
About six o'clock Mr. Oatcs asked unani
mous consent to have a resolution read for
information, but he was promptly met
with objections from the Republican side.
The following is its text:
IVnr.nnAS, It is alleged by persons of veraci
ty thilt there nic Jare numbers of attorneys,
lobbyists, claim agents and State agents who
are covertly using every means within their
power to secure the passage of Senate bill 139,
which Is now under consideration in this House,
and
Wiicitr.AS. It is alleged that millions of the
money which would by appropriated by this
bill it it should become a law will, under exist
ing contracts, pass into the hands of said law
yars. lobbyists, claim agents and State agents,
therefore
J'ttoUfd. That a committee to consist of
seven members of the House be appointed by
the Speaker, whose duty it shall be to investi
gate said allegations and ascertain and report
to the House within thirty days what contracts
or agreements may exist between any at
torneys, lobbyists, claim agents or State agents
and the beneficiaries under aforesaid bill, and
that such committee have power to send for
persons and papers and administer oaths; and
that the further consideration of the bill with
its existing status be postponed until such com
mittee reports.
Subsequently, Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama,
asked consent to offer a resolution for the
appointment of a committee to ascertain
what amount of the sum proposed to be
paid out out would inuro to the benefit of
the people and how much would be paid to
claim agents and no objection was made.
At 7;30 the Sergeant-at-Arms appeared
and reported that of the twenty-five mem
bers absent without leave, twenty were
out of the city and the other five could not
be found. He was directed to continue bis
search.
At a few minutes before nine o'clock
further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with, and Mr. J. Campbell, of
Few York, moved as an amendment to two
pending motions for short recesses that tan
House take a recess until 11:45 next morn
ing, but in order to prevent a vote being
taken en this proposition Mr. Breckinridge,
of Arkanses, revived the tactics he had
resorted to few days age and moved that
Mr. McKieney, of New Hampshire, be ex
cused front reting;
A polntof order against the motion was
nttndel by the Speaker pro toHL, Mr.
Batch, and Mr. K.B. Taylor, of OUo,m

declaring it granted, bringing down his
gavel just as Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkan
sas, sprang to his feet with an objection,

recess was then taken.
Tlin REASON FOIt THE DEADLOCK.
"Washington", April 10. Representative
Oatcs, of Alabama, who has taken the
leading part in the iight against the Direct
Tax bill, said yesterday: ''This bill has
provoked an agitation in favor of refund
ing the cotton tax, but no bill has been
brought forwni d and pressed for that pur
pose. I gave notice (which 1 do not recall)
that if tho hill is to be passed I will at the
proper time oiTer an amendment. We could
at any time sihcj the consideration of
the bill began have allowed it to proceed
to a point in Committee of the Whole when
we might, have offered an amendment we
saw proper, but our opposition to the bill is
such that no amendment which can be
adopted, except it be to strike out the
enacting clauses, can make it acceptable
to us. This bill is not before the House
according to it; rules and in the usual
course of us procedure. It has not been
reached in its order on the calendar, but
has by an unusual report from the Com
mittce on Rules been placed before all
other business and held there to tho exclu
sion of other business. In a matter involv
ing such vital principles of constitutional
government as this involves, and in which
the people arc tenfold more deeply interest
ed than in the distribution among the
States of any amount of money from the
Federal treasury, wc feel that it is our
duty, though in tho minority, to resort tc
every legislative means which, the House
allows."
It was the intention to have held a Dem
ocratic caucus last evening, but the Repre
sentatives opposed to the Direct Tax bill
defeated tho purpose by continuing the
House session through the evening.
Representative Weaver, of Iowa, says
another deadlock will occur this week if
the present one is broken within the next
twenty-four hours. Ho intends to oppose
the passage of the Outhwaite Pacific Rail
road bill by dilatory tactics, and says it
will likely result in a deadlock of consider
able duration if there is time in which the
bill inay be taken up.
Iturllngton Miootlnsr
Chicago, April 10. At 7:30 o'clock last
night a 4-(Jj" engine, manned by non-union

Jefferson City.Mo., April 10. Governoi
Morchouso was asked yesterday to issue a
requisition for the return of John and
James Willman to Kansas, where they are
wanted for the violation of the prohibition
law of that State. They are residents of
St. Joseph and were represented before
tho Governor by State Senator Moran. The
State of Kansas was represented by J. U.

Owing to the lact that the latter were not
provided with the proper affidavits, further

States Circuit Court to-day Judge Lacombe
decided that George Benson, who swindled
residents of the City of Mexico out of 25,
000 by the sale of bogus Patti concert tick

printed tickets was not forgery. Stay has1
been granted pending an appeal to the
Uuitcd States Supremo Court.

turned to the headquarters of tho striking
Burlington engineers and firemen. Ho ar
rived in the city this morning from Cleve
land and went at once into a conference
with Chief Sargent and Chairman Hoge.
The arrival of Mr. Arthur was an event of
interest to tho strikers and railroad officials
alike, as it was assumed that with his
presence .tho strike on the Burlington
would enter upon a new phase.
General Terry in Politics.
Hartford, Conn., April 10. The retire
ment of General Alfred H. Terry, who is a
citizen of this State, introduces a now fac
tor into Connecticut politics. The statement
has been circulated at the capital, on appa
rently good authority, that General Terry'
name will be brought before the public for
the Republican nomination for Governor.
There would be no possible doubt of his
election should tho convention be carried
for him.

been obtained up to this time.

yesterday on motion of Mr. Wilson, of
lows., mo oiu regulating xuc limes xor
holding terms of the
and District Courts for the Northern dis
trict or Iowa was passed, and tho Senato
re vm-: consMentioa of the bill to author
iz" the sale to aliens of certain mineral
lams, the question being on the amend
ment offered by Mr. Faulkner requiring n
majority of the stockholders, trustees or
directors of a mining company to be
citizens of tho United States. The question
was taken and the amendment rejected
20 to 31.
Mr. Gray moved to amend tho.bill by in
sorting tho words: "But the Legislatures
of the Territories may prescribe the condi
tions on which mining claims, works or
property used in the production of metals
from said mineral lanas or claims may be
owned, operated or worked by corpora,
tions created in foreign countries or in
any of the States of the United States."
After much discussion he modified his
amendment so as to simply provide that
the laws of the United States and of the
Territories should be, until changed by an
act of Congress or of a Territorial Legis
lature, the same as though the act had
not passed. After discussion the amend
ment as modified, on motion of Mr.
Hawlcy, the phraseology of the bill
was thus amended, and the bill
was passed. Yeas 31, nays 21.
It reads as follows: 'That tho
act entitled, 'an act to re
strict the ownership of real estate in the
Territories to American citizens,' etc., ap
proved March 3, 1SS7, shall not relate to or
in any manner affect the title to mineral
lands or mining claims in the Territories of
the United States, which may be acquired
or held under the mineral land laws of the
United States, nor to mills or other reduc
tion works or property, used in the produc
tion of metals from said mineral lands or
claims, but as to all such mineral lands,
mining claims, mills, reduction works and
other property, the laws of tho United
States and of the Territories shall be, un
til changed by act of Congress or an act of
the Territorial Legislature, tho samo as
though said act had not been passed."
The Senate then resumed the consider
ation of the unfinished business, the bill to
provide for the admission of the State of
South Dakota and the organization of the
Territory of 'orth Dakota.
Mr. Butler addressed the Senate pro
testing against the dismemberment of the
Territory, and without any action on the
bill the Senate proceeded to executive busi
ness, and when the doors opened ad
journed. IIOl'SE.
When the House met at 11:45 yesterday
moruing the legislative day of Wednes
day last still continuing Mr. Phelps, as a
privileged question, submitted the confer
ence report on tho bill authorizing the
construction of a bridge across the Missis
sippi river at Memphis, Temi.. the Senate
amendment repealing the bridge charter
existing being agreed to. The report was
adopted.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, asked unanimous
consent to report tho Post-office Appropria
tion bill, but a demand for the regular
order from Reed, of Maine, operated as an
objection, and the seventh day of the con
test over the Direct Tax bill was formally
opened.
Motions for recesses for 10, 15, 20 and 25
minutes were submitted by Mr. Breckin
ridge, of Arkansas; Mr. Weaver, of Iowa;
Mr. Anderson, of Illinois, and Mr. Oates,
of Alabama. These were further supple
mented with motions to adjourn until
Thursday, until Friday and until Saturday.
After that there was no change in the
ucaaiocir, no concessions naving oeen maue
by cither side of tho controversy, and all
talk of a compromiso having ceased. It
was generally thought among members
that the present condition of affairs would
continue until Tuesday next the day when
it was intended to call tho Tariff bill
when a determined effort would be made to
break tho deadlock.
Late in tho afternoon avotojwas taken
upon a motion to adjourn in order that a
test might bo made of tho strength of the
combatants. The affirmative vote was 80
exactly the number who voted in a similar
manner yesterday. The negative vote fell
off from 150 yesterday to 140 to-day, the
falling off being accounted for by the fact
that a number of leaves of absence had
been granted from tho ranks of the sup
porters of the bill. Subsequently the Sergeant-at-Arms
appeared and stated that all
the members who were reported as absent
had returned to tho Houso except such as
had been excused or were out of the city,
and the House, having received his report,
relapsed into a state of lassitude.
Mr. Parker, of New York, was the first to
claim attention with a parliamentary in
quiry. It was, he said, the custom of the
House to send out special committees for
purpose of investigating the causes and
effects of great railroad strikes. He de
sired to know whether it would be in order
for the railroad companies to create a com
mittee to investigate the causes and effect
of the strike now existing in the House of
Representatives. The Speaker pro tern,
was not of the opinion that the inquiry pre
sented was a parliamentary one and Mr.
Parker resumed his scat with his question
unanswered.
At 8:30 the Sergeant-at-Arms appeared
at the bar of the House having in custody
Mr. Lawler of Illinois, who was sub
jected to much badinago by his fellow
members as he formulated an excuse for
having been absent. He had been, he said,
at home, answering his correspondence, in
the expectation that the situation in the
House would remain unchanged.
Mr. E. B. Taylor moved to excuse the
gentlemen on tho payment of a fine of ten
dollars. He said that be felt that the time
bad arrived when the House should assert ,
its power to have its members present ,
whenever necessary. Ha regretted that
the gentleman from Illinois was the party
before the bar of the House, because be did
not think that the gentleman was any
more offending than many others; but it
seemed to him tbat a man elected ass
member of the honorable body bed bis
easiness here when the House was in ses
sion and had no business elsewhere. He
protested against the idea that the matter
of being present was one of personal con
venience end not of duty, and he protested
most scrieusly against the manner in
which the House treated the offense of ab-
ontooltm by maklag light of it and by
ing frrroleae when
' before the bar oa that charge. He had of
fered the lvso.ution in pjr.'ect good fa:tb,
, not. dejiriug to injure tho fe'hngsof any
oce, as, uu wisiieU that a penaiiv should
be imposed and that if the oiTeiise or ab
senteeism should prevail the penalty should
prevail until absolute expulsion should bo
come the remedy.
A member suggested that, instead of $10,
a Hue of a barrel of apples should be im
posed. Mr. Taylor remarked that that was an
other proposition which had nuila thn
House notorious and ridiculous in the oyes
i or the country.

The House then resumed its air of unin
tcrestiLg idleness. The only amusement
furnished was in the cloak room on the
Democratic side, in which some of tho
more genial spirits among the Republicans
had gathered to chat with their Dcmocratio
adversaries. The doors leading from the
room to tho hall of the House were closed
so as to prevent the hearty laughter pro
voked by some good story related by Mr.
Weaver, of Iowa, or Mr. Burrows, of Mich
igan, disturbing tho rest of the members,
who wero seeking sleep on some conven
ient lounge. Through tho cracks of the
doors, however, came the strains of college
songs and darky melodies, the impromptu
glee club being under the leadership of Mr.
Cannon, of Illinois.
Late in the evening a diversion was fur
nished by the appearance at tho bar of the
House of Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, in
charge of the Sergeant-at-Arms. After the
House had had more or less fun out of va
rious suggestions as to lines, eta, he was
excused for being absent, and Mr. Breck
inridge, of Kentucky, moved that the House
adjourn. It was defeated veas, CS; nays,

HEWITT AND FLAGS.
The Mayor or New York Lectures the Board
of Alderuteu on Their Kenolutioa Over
the Irish Flag Incident.
New York, April 11. Mayor Hewitt yes
terday transmitted to the Common Council
a stirring message disapproving the resolu.
tion taking from the mayor tho power di
recting what Hags should be displayed up
on public buildings. In it he showed that
while the Irish-born population amounted
to 10.45 per cent., 27 per cent, of the Board
of Aldermen were Irish, or more than
one and one-half times the normal
ratio of representation, and that the same
ratio of representation prevailed in all the
departments, except the police, where 2S.10
were Irish born nearly double the normal
percentage. This, he declared, was at the
expense of the German element. He gave a
tabulated account of national representa
tions in offices and in charitable institu
tions, and then stated that lie did not
publish the tables to invoke comment, but
declared that under this free government
and boundless resources, the Irish malcon
tents should exhibit a modest restraint in
claiming new privileges not now known to
the law and not desired by the more con
servative portion of the nationality in
whose favor the exception was demanded.
Ho advised the Board of Aldermen to adopt
some measure whereby the vexed question
might be made squarely an issue before
the people.

speech. Ho boasted of the fact that a short
time ago he was captain of a band of fifty
Dacoits, but that now ho only captured
souls for Christ. General and Mrs. Booth
and Mr. Tucker and his bride also made
speeches. After tho ceremonies a banquet
was given. The festivities will continue

where it will connect with the main lino of
