Drs Moists , In , rob 10. ( Succlal Tele
gram to Tim Hkk.I The republican * sub
mitted to tlio democrats today a proposition
for ending the dotdlook It assigns tbo
RPonitcr , llrst assistant clerk and sergcant-at-
arms to the republicans , llio rest of the
minor offices It gives to the democrats It
leaves to one party first choke of ono cotn-
mltteo , the other party to cliooso the next
two committees , and the roinnlndor of the
oommlttccs to bo selected alternately by eaoh
party It allows the democrats to take
clthor ono of these terms as to choosing
commlttco9 , so that tlioy can have the first
pick of committees It they prefer and lot the
republicans have the next two , orthoyenn
have the second two by giving
the republicans the first one Ibo demo
crats have hnd thnt proposition before them
todny And will probably hold a caucus upon
it tomorrow morning Many of thorn favor
accepting it , but some of their loaders nro
holdimr out in the belief that they c in cot a
larger price for the sponkursbtp If they wait
longer Some of the republicans have boon
flaying that all they wanted was the speak
ership , and the democrat * have tnkan thorn
up and are holding out for terms which tbo
republicans cannot afford to give
If the democrats do not accept this propo
sition now before thorn It is probable that
the republicans will tell them it is an ulti
matum and refuse to consider any other
terms Mnnv republicans are in favor of
sitting down to a contest of physical ondur-
nnco Every republic in member of the
liouso is now hero and they uro not averse to
camping right on the Hold for a few days ,

utilized his art to illustrate nature His
scene with Faulkland , his letter scene with
O'Tngger , his duel scene with all the char
acters , which , by tbe way , was the climax of
the piece , will always bp gomt by which to
remember this eroat man ; und It will be a
