Scene of Great Disorder in the
House Yesterday.
MANY MEMBERS ARRESTED
Vigorous Protests From All--Cmn-miugs
Threatens to Resent
Any Attempt to use Force.
ArBoclated Press.
Washington, Feb. 22. In accordance
with the custom established a few years
ago, at the suggestion of Hoar, ihe sen
ate met today and listened to the read
ing of the Declaration of Independence.
Martin, of Kansas, offered a resolu-
tlon Instructing the finance committee
to prepare a bill for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to V He -also
presented a resolution directing the Ju-

resolution providing for the election of
senators by direct vote or tne peopie.
At the conclusion of its reading the sen-
,n,.,,i tin Mnn,hv.
Democratic members of the senate are
much disturbed over the situation con
cerning the tariff bill. They used the
half holiday today to make a decided
effort to agree upon features of the bill
so as to insure its passage. They did
not make any marked progress and will
continue ineir enorin uhhuuuw uh h-"--
urday undisturbed by other oftlclil
official business, as the senate has ad- !
Journed until Monday. Whether the call
for a caucus circulated today shall be
considered seriously will depend upon
the success' of the democratic senators
in reaching an agreement without this '
conference. The call circulated quite
vigorously for a short time during the
early part of the session, and after
about 15 nnmes had been secured the
effort was suspended. It wi3 presented,
ona rule, to senators known to be ui'g- ;
ing a change In the bilU. .-
i, IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 22. The house met
today, contrary to custom onWashlng
ton's birthday, owing to the tangle over
the Bland seigniorage bill. The pros
pects of securing a quorum are not as
good as yesterday. Bland and his fol
lowers are apparently disheartened, but
refuse to accept a compromise by drop
ping the section of the bill providing for
the coinage of the remainder of the bul
lion and the retirement of Sherman
treasury notes of the act of 1890. I
Cummlngs, of New York, denounced
vigorously an attempt made to arrest
him this morning by the sergeant-at-
arms. In the name of the American peo- j
pie he protested against holding a farci
cal session on the national holiday, and
In honor of the memory of George
Washington, moved an adjournment.
Lost.
Bedlam broke loose and the most In
tense excitement prevailed this after
noon when the arrested members were
brought to the bar of the house. The
validity of the warrants was questioned,
Gen. Sickles claiming the sergeant-at-arms
liable to action by each member
arrested. Several attempts to adjourn
were unsuccessful, and on two accaslons
the sergeant-at-arma was compelled to
clear the aisles with a mace.
Sergeant-at-Arms Snow began lust
night the arrest of congressmen on the
floor of the hrruse on warrants charging
them with absenting themnclves on
Monday. This was In accordance with
a colloquy between Speaker Crisp and
the sergeant-at-arms. During the sc-s-elon
yesterday Snow asked If he was ex
pected to arrest members on tho floor.
Crisp answer d that . the Hergeant-at-arms
was expected to "execute orders."
This was accepted as meaning that ar
rests on the floor should be made, and
Snow at once began to carry this idea
Into effect. He arrested eeven congress
men as they sat In their seats. Deputy
Hill made an many more arrests. In
each case the member was tapped on
the shoulder and was to'.d he was re
leased on parole to report when re
quired. This morning arrests began
asaln and continued until Interrupted
by the stirring scene In which Cum
mlngs was the principal ector.
"I give you fair warning," said Cum
mlngs, "If you touch me ycu act at your
own peril." .
For a moment It looked as though
there would be serious trouble, as Cum
mlngs plainly Intimated he Intended to
resent the sll-rhteft touch Indicating ar-1
rest by force. The deputy quickly with
drew, however, as the orders of ti)e
serge? at-at-arms arc to avoid Indigni
ties to' congressmen in every way xe
sll.lc. .
The m-ml:?rs aptrchendc-d threaten to
s-:ure ruitoble redress end tlk of l"i! '
proceeding for false Imprlsontmnt." j
S'.-rrcant-at-Anr. Er.ow i::ye:
"The
offense to members; my orders U the'jr, rf.rK,rtcd critical.
deputies are to proceed with the great
est cautjen and deference. . We do not
arrest members as though they were
tramps or common drunks. They are
merely notified that their names are on
the warrants, and then the member Is
touched to make service effective."
Great confusion arose over Sickles de
mand to be heard on a question of priv
ilege. As a way out of the difficulty, it
was decided to hear the report of the
serteant-at-arms, giving the list of
those arrested, as follows:
Richards, Jr., Eelthoove, Clancy, Cof
fin, Cooper, Cummlngs (who refuses ar
iest, Dunn (who protests), Erdman,
llX.i.'V. Krlbs, Mahon, McAIer, Murray,
Mutc'hler, Rellly, Rush, Sickles, Ilulyek,
McDowell, Johnson, Woomer.
Sickles then said: "I demand a separ
ate trial."
Ami J the turmoil and pounding of the
gavel, the speaker pro tein. ordered
Sickles to sit down, and he obeyed. The
list of prisoners was then called.
Adams, republican, of Pennsylvania,
announced he was absent in Pennsyl-
VOlllU. VOlllltf 1UI u. llltriuvci ui me iivjun,
"And," he added, "partly through my
efrort8 we rolled up 177,000 majority for

! Reed moved that Adams be dlscharg-
ed and his name stricken from the war
rant. I
gic,e8 protested that, no names were
on the warrant, and that it was null
and Void. This statement created e
fresh turmoil, and the speaker's order
to arrest the absentees was read.
Pickles held the floor and demanded
to know If he was under arrest and had
a right to vote. While the chair was

Silkies objected to further proceed

In a pitenusly appealing manner: "Are

chains?"
Blend's motion was carried 132 to
101, and at 3:05 the house closed one of
the most disorderly sessions of thlp
congress by adjournment until tomor
row at noon.

ness relations with the ' mercantile
agency.
