WASHINGTON , Pel ) . 20. The deadlock on
the Dland seigniorage bill was not broken In
the house today. Hell call followed roll call
until o'clock , when , It being apparent that
Mr. Dland could not muster n quorum on
Ills proposition , ho moved an adjoinnment.
When the house met this morning It was
ntlll In deadlock on the Dland bill and the
first thing In order was the consideration of
the rcpoit of the sergeant-at-arms , who was
Instructed by icsolutlon laat night to arrest
absentees.
Mr. Ilccd raised a question ns to the
rights of the sorgoant-at-arms to nriest Mr.
Apsley of Massachusetts , who voted on the
last call of the house. It was explained
that the Journal did not show the latter
fact , but upon his statement that ho had re
sponded to his name the speaker ruled that
the subsequent proceedings looking to his
arrest fell.
Mr. Post of Illinois , who also had been
arrested , explained that whllo he had not
voted on the call of th'o houbc he had voted
upon the subsequent motion to adjourn.
Upon his repi osculation-ho was excused.
The sergeant-at-arni3 then came forwaid
nt the icquest of the speaker and made his
report. It was to the effect tlmt thlitbcvon
telegrams had been bent { o ab.cntces , to
which fifteen replies had been lecelved. Plve
replied that they wcro sick and ten were on
their way to Washington. Seven ineinbeis ,
the repoit also stated , had been arrested ,
Messrs Apsley , Gardiner , Hllborn , Post ,
Itandall , Lucas and Martin ( all republicans )
The whereabouts of thirty-four mvmbcis had
not yet been ascertained.
The arrested members were brought before -
fore the speaker and excused on git Ing a
satlsfiictoiy explanation for their absence
nnd Immediately after Mr. Dlund returned
to the slcgo which ho had been directing
for the past v.eek. The icpubllcans and
eastern democrats renov.ed their filibuster
ing tactics and , an on yesterday , succeeding
In breaking a quorum. The vote icsulted
1C2 to C , tvvclto short , nnd on motion of Mr.
island the call of the house v.aa ordered.
Thn Jlvo memborsmln..c"slody' who had not
boon excused wore notHHen brought to the
bar of the house. Iilko schoolboys they
were ordered by the speaker to give their
excuses for being ab"ont from the house
Without leave. The members crowded nbout
Iho area vvheio the absentees weio ranged
In n row and enjoyed the situation Im
mensely.
Mr. Dland stated n quorum would never
bo obtained unless mcmbei.s remained In
their Beats. *
"Oh , I don't think the chance of getting a
quorum , " Interrupted Mr. Enloo , refeiring
to the fact that when present Mr. Itandall
refused to vote , "was dtmlnshed by the
gentleman's absence. "
Mr. Durrow's wanted to know If theicwas
anything In the order made to the hcigeant-
at-arms which restricted the arrest of mem
bers to republicans. The speaker replied ,
good naturcdly , that thcro was not.
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio asked whether
wan ants had been Issued for the arrest of
those democrats who refused to attend the
democratic caucus last night.
"I hardly think that IH n parliamentary
Inquiry , " replied the speaker ,
This was the Incident growing out of the
arrest of the absent , nnd the membeis
laughingly resumed their seats , and after
the call for committees for reports , Mr
Illand directed his attention to the belgnl-
orago bill. Ho moved that the deb Ho bo
closed , and upon that motion demanded the
previous question.
The republicans and opposition democrats
.An fitnd Hiuli * fllllitiutarhitr fnntlpu nnd. IIR
on jcslciday , succeeded In breaking a quo
rum. The vote icsulted , 1CJ to n , twolto
short , nnd , on motion of Mr Illand , the call
of the hoiiso was oidercd. The call developed
the presence of 2C1 members , nnd the vote
rccmred nn Mr. lllnnd's demand for the pre
vious qucbtlon. This vote resulted , 151 to fi ,
twcntv-thrco short of a quorum , nnd nlno
loss than the preceding voto.
Another call of the hou o followed. On this
call thn quorum again reappeared , 209 mem-
bcis responding. Mi. Dland then made u
EtntcmiMit to the effect that It wns evident
that n quorum could not bo obtained , n
committees had lenve to sit dm Ing u session
of the house , nnd ho therefore offcicd , n leso-
lutlon i evoking the lenvo to sit except to the
committee of appropriation.
Mr Heed made the point of order that the
action of the house on previous occasions
could not bo i evoked pending proceedings
under n call.
A lively skirmish occurred over the point
of order , In which Messrs Springer , Heed ,
McCreary and Dynum participated. Finally
Mr. Dland poured oil on the tioubled waters
by withdrawing the resolution , nt the same
tlmo Btntlng that unless members on the
romtnltttec's who were Included in It at
tended thn rcs < lens ot the house ho would
again offer nnd press the resolution.
The vote ngaln recurred on Mr. Dland'a
motion for the previous question , i emitting ,
1G9 to 0
Another call of the house followed , the quo
rum reappearing only to disappear ngaln on
the roll call , the vote being 1G2 to I
When the announcement wns mndo Mr
Illand stated that ns It wns evident n quorum

WASHINGTON , Peb. 20.
Today the house judiciary committee agreed
to it-port with fnvorablo recommendation the
Ilryan bill Increasing tho'penalty for cm-
bcy/lcment by directors , officers or agents
of national banks. The committee made
some amendments to the original draft of
the Drvan bill , mostly relating to form. The
principal amendments reduced the maximum
Imprisonment for embezzlement of less than
$100,000 from fifteen to ten years , and put n
maximum of twenty years and n minimum
of ten years where the amount of embezzle
ment exceeds ? 100,000. Under the present
law the punishment for all cmbcz/lement la
from live to ten years.
Mr. Ilryan added the following new feature
to the proposeil law , which Is Intended to
cover and prohibit such scandals as have
been committed In connection with C. W.
iMosher , president of the Capital National
bank of Llngoln : "And persons arrested
under this act shall receive no other or
better treatment or gieater privileges while
In cu&tody , before conviction or after con
viction , than Is accorded to persons In
uueiuuy ior violation 01 oilier laws 01 ino
United States. "
The benate Judiciary committee regards
the bill favorably , and it Is undcrstod that
It Mill bo given prompt action In both
branches of congress and become law with
out much delay. The bill applies to the
president , director , cashier , teller , clerk or
agent of the National Danl.lng association
who willfully misapplies any of the moncj.s ,
funds or credits of the association , innUInc ;
him guilty of a felony , and punishing him
with an Imprloonmcnt of not less than five
nor more than ten yeais , If the amount
Is undei $109,000 In value , and not less
than ten nor more than twenty years if
the amount Is above $100,001) ) In value. The
bill coters forgeries of every character of
bills of exchange , bonds , drafts , mortgages ,
Judgments , etc , and Includes book-keepers ,
colleclois , etc. There Is a general Impres
sion that this bill simply applies to stealing
money. It applies to fra id and false cer
tificates and all borts of deception In con
nection with the managements of national
banking associations , whereby those Inter
ested In them are made to lose money.
HOW IN THE PINANCT C'OMMITTKE.
Sensational Econcs arc reported to have
occmred at the meeting of the full demo
cratic membership of the benate committee
on finance last night. It Is stated that
Chairman Vooihces Insisted on reporting tlio
Wilson tariff bill with but few changes and
the free list the same as It passed the house ,
but with the demands of the Whisky trust
fully compiled with , viz. : An extension of
the bonded period to five jcaro and rn In-
crcaso of the tax to J1.20 a gallon. This
proposition brought the advocates of n duty
upon sugar , coal , Iron ore and vvool to their
feet. Tlinyj demanded come .protection ( o
theKo" Interes'ts as well ns to the whisky
men.
Chairman Voorhees Is reported to have
said In eftect that the free list provided In
the Wilson blir was a cardinal principle of
the democratic party , and that It would not
do to place any duty upon the artlelea
named.
Then the chairman was coolly Informed
that the bill as ho proposed to leport It
would bo promptly tccommltted , as at least
seven democrats and two populists would
vote for recommittal.
It looks as though there would have to
bo some protection on sugar. Iron ore and
coal If the bill passes the senate. It would
be the better part of icpubllcan politics
for the republican senators to assure the
majority membeishlp of the flnanco * commit
tee that they would not vole for recommittal
If the Wilson frco list ib undlstiirbel , as
It might result in securing a sufficient
number of adverse democratic votes to In-
suio Its defeat on final passage. This was
the policy adopted by the republicans In
the house , but the republicans In the benato
feel that they have more powei for fencing
amendments than their .colleagues did In
the house and they both refuse to exercise
that power.
Henry T Oxnaid of Nebraska stated to
The Dee coi respondent this afternoon that
the taking of Senator White of LoulUana
fiom the senate might not prove so unfor
tunate to the sugar Intetests as at first an
ticipated. Mr.Vhlto does not Intend to
1UII1U 1IU11I lliu nuuuiu until IMV IMI it " '
Is reported fiom the finance committee ,
at whlcli tlmo It Is expected his successor
will have been chosen and leady to take
hlu seat. Mr. Willie's successor' In the
senate will bo n stiong friend of the do
mestic sugar Interests. It Is paid that he
will not appoint any member of congiess ,
because every one of the Louisiana delega
tion In the house voted for the Wilson bill
on Its final passage , wl ' out any protection
to the greatest indusliy In ( heir slate.
JIM JUMPED TOO SOON.
The nomination today of Cyrus S Parker
to be postmaster at Pullerton ends qulto n
sharp contest. Thcro were several appli
cants for the position , ono of them vvac

mittee , by ox-Congressman Dow man of Iowa

DOSTON , Peb. " .0. The unemployed
doubles In this city culminated In n dcmon-
Rtrntlon on the comjnons this afternoon ,
whlcli for n time threatened to end In a
riot. Klvo thousand | mcn , hungry , rugged
and ugly , crowded Intft- the state house and
adjoining grounds nnd Vociferously demanded
Immediate aid In their distress. The gov
ernor addresrcd the Snob from the steps
ot the state house , and was quietly received
and even applauded , although ho made no
sntlsfuctory replies to their requests.
Mr. Swift , nn nvow-jjd anarchist nnd the
spokesman , nppeaicd on the balconies nnd
told them that the legislature hnd refused
to accept their petitions , they broke Into
yells of derision nnd. hisses of contempt
The brass buttoned ofltclals nnd dooi keepers
seemed paralyred wltS fear , and Governor
Grecnhnlgo , who but n few moments be
fore was mingling t.vth } the mob , wisely
retired to the Ieil3lntlv4 ; chamber The
few policemen who hud been detailed lo
take rare of the crowd were povtcrlts' . nnd
soon the police vvnpons from the nearest
stations were living l'p the streets leading
to Deacon hill loaded with blno cents , nnd
In n short tlmo there" rteie 200 policemen on
the scene.
rieanwhlle tlio House of representatives
had remained In session , nnd , upon the ad
vice of some of the Jong-headed members
considered the petition tfrom the mob. It
was decided to appont ) n committee of
seven to meet representatives of the unem
ployed to consider wnysj nnd means for their
relief. Speaker Meye of the house Sent n
message to the crowds apprising them of
this decision , and It nrip'eaBed them greatly.
A committee was appointed to see Gover

tion asking him to formulate nnd put Into
operntlon some plnn to'alleviate their suffer
ing. They nlso nnkcd , for stnto nnd farm
factories where the unemployed might work
and to appoint n porinnnont commission to
attend to the wnnta of tUo unemployed. His
excellency read the petition and then went
out and addressed the nssembled crowd. He
expressed sympathy andtfold them just what
he could and could noTdo for them. Ills
talk gate them no satisfaction nnd come
hissed , but the major part applauded his
words.
The position of the lefcislnturc , after re
citing their Ills , asked thp'state to commence
operations upon the proposed Cape Cod canal ,
to establish the commission mentioned nnd
to pioviuo ior state inrmn anu laciojios.
When Informed of the legislature/a action ,
