' v Wasliington, Sept. 20. Morgan of Al atama, presented a petition from the citizens of his state In the senate to day, In favor of repeal of the Sher man act. He said It was one of the pe titions sent out by the New York bankers and he considered It was a mandate from them, and not from the people of Alabama. Voorhees moved that the repeal bill be. Immediately taken up. After a sharp passage be tween him and Piatt of New York, who wished to mako a , moltlon for ; the amendment of the rules, providing ior cloture, the latter yielded to George of Mississippi, who addressed the senate In nnnoHitirm to the bill. In the'Ouse the democratic mnjorfi ty acted as a unit against Intending filibustering which has blocked legls? hit Ion fur weeks. When the house met, the democratic benches were crowded. The committee' on rules had 'held a meeting at which, over the protest of tho republican members, the commit tee waa instructed to report a set of rules that would disarm' the flllbuster ers. As soon as the Journal was read. Burroughs moved to suspend the call of the committee for reports. Catchlngs from th committee on rules, presented a report, providing that no other bus iness would be in order until the re ports of tb.3 committees had been re ceived. Burroughs made a point of or der. The report was not In order as it had originated with the commttee. After a sharp tilt with Burroughs' and Reed on ona side, and the speaker on the other, th? speaker overruled the point of order, holding that a commit tee on rules could originate an order of business, just as a committee, on ap propriations could originate approprl ations. (Democratic applause.) The speaker instructed the clerk to read the report of the ' committee. Reed :nado a vehement fight against tho ac tion of the speaker, and declared that the clerk had no right to read the re port, declaring amid democratic cheers, that the action of the speaker was the most surprising in legislative'' history. The fight continued all the afternoon, At 4:30, it waa apparent that the end of the tight would bo that the federal election bill would bo reported, despite the desperate dilatory tactics of the opposition. After some further fctrlctures on the chair, Reed said: "If Herod Is to be out-Heroded, Her od Intends to witness the transaction." The question then recurred on ord ering the previous question on the re port from the committee on rules. Then motions came thick and fast. All were brushed aside by the speaker who held no motion in order except the one motion to adjourn. The democratic side broke Into wild cheering, when the an nouncement was made and a wave of applause swept over the galleries. Al though realizing they were baffled, the republicans persisted in their stub horn light. Burrows moved to lay the report of the committee on the. table. The sieaker ruled the motion out of order and declined to entertain any ap peal. Some confusion followed. A dozen members were on their feet and the speaker ordered all to take their seats. Every member instantly stated himself except ex-Speaker Reed who was pale with rage. For a moment he stood eyeing the speaker, and then sank in to his seat. There waa more democrat ic applause and the roll call began on the ordering of the previous question. The previous question was ordered by 180 to 3. Under the rule, thirty-minutes were then allowed, for debate and an exciting . time followed. Ex-Speaker Reed first took the floor. "We have occupied a peculiar coign of vantage in this contest," he said. "You on the other side were between two fires. We stood to win either way. You had to resort to everything you denounced or ba beaten, and, with characteristic determination, you chose humiliation. You settled yourself de liberately in the traces against which you stormed and howled. In doing so you not only violated the precedents of 1S3 years, but all principles of parlia mentary law with which you ever come in contact. You refused the system of rules which ws offered you,' under which you could have done business, and, instead, you chose to accomplish the same ends by special acta of vl-ok-nee. The object of this action, how ever has btfn unworthy of tha meth ods employed to accomplish it,' for it hnj! been the destruction of the power J. W.

(Loud np plausc on the republican side.) After remarks by several others the vote then recurred on the adoption of the report of the committee on rules and it was carried by 176 to 91. Pro longed npplause followed the announce ment of the vote. The fight was over. Silently the republicans .watched the committee make reports to the house, including the report on the Tucker bill. A resolution was presented asking the committee on rules to make a special order for the consideration of the bill. Then with a sigh of relief the house adjourned. FIERCE FOREST FIRES.
