Speaker Crisp come anarchists, for its purpose is de- Is confined to his house with a severe sore throat and cold. . He sent a note appointing Richardson, of Tennessee, speaker pro tern, for the day. The gal leries were crowded In anticipation of a repetition of the exciting scenes of yes terday. As soon as the Journal was read Adams, of Pennsylvania, began clamor ing for recognition on the question of personal privilege. He was being tried when the house adjourned yesterday. He yielded, however, to Wells, of Wls- tuuHin, wno saw ne was erroneously re- ported as voting no on a motion to ad- Journ. He denied he had taken anv nart In the proceedings, but said he would have voted, if at all, to adjourn, in or der to "put a stop to the disgraceful performance." On the request of Cuminlngs, Sickles was excused on account of sickness. The speaker declared the pending question the motion to discharge Adarua from custody. Bland moved as a substitute to dis charge all the members under arrest. Reed made a point of order that the amendment was not germane, and the question was argued at some length. In the course of the Cobnte Elund de nounced the New York dlecTation In heated words. Ho wus called to order Several times by Coombs, of New York, amid a general uproar. Bb.nd's speech was sensational In its criticism of the disorder which prevailed yesterday. He declared the men who were obstructing legislation and defying the house were anarchists and revolutionists. They were worse, he said, than a criminal who would throw a bomb from the gal - ... . ... , , . j.iciv ntic iiiooco i im, Illtli grew louder and culminated In crieB of ! "Shame!" Bland proceeded In his im- I passioned utterances. He declared iiiouoi-iitt-y iiH-u itiKeii possesion or me 1 house. The speaker frequently called ..u.t lv u.uc, u.m I1C wito unauy com-. pelled to take his seat, and then pro ceed in order. He was frequently ap plauded in his milder criticisms, but silence followed the more violent utter ances. The aisles of the house were choked with members while he was speaking, and the' galleries were also crowded with visitors. Finally, on motion of Bland, the order of arrest was vacated, and all congress men under arrest dlsclnrgad. The fight on the seigniorage bill was then re sumed. The vote on Bland's motion to close debate at 5 tomorrow resulted, 170 to 7 no quorum. Bland moved a call of the house. Tracy moved to adjourn, and there wasjfreat confusion for sme time. The democrats were ovidently very anxious when the house mot to extri cate themselve3 from the contllctlona arising from the wholesale arrests, but by flank movements the republicans succeeded In preventing this until the whole situation had been thoroughly ventilated. IVrhsps the most inforesl- Ing feature of the clay, barring Bland's bitter phlllipto against the filibustering of the democrats, was a verbal duel be tween Reed and Turner over the queu tlon of counting a quorum. After the arrested memljers had been discharged Bland returned to the sliver Mil, but the motion failed again for lack of a quorum. He only lacked two votes. Al though Bland still insists on going ahead with the seigniorage till, many democrats believe it should now be abandoned, and unless a quorum is pro- cured tomorrow it would sot-m thnt it would have to be that is, if the demo cratic caucus does not decide to adopt some method of forcing the manibers to vote or count them If they do not. Jn his speech on the motion to sus pend all further proceedings under which the memlers of the house were arrested yesterday, Binnd said: "It la hard to give leaves of absence and im mediately revoke them ard order the ar rest of the membe'S. tut public e-?l jun-y sometimes required such a course. The house had ben-n ue-idlock'-'d for diya. The whole piv r,r tlie eovntry wis full of It, and cvtry m-.-mbc-r must have been aware his pre-en'ce was nrock-d." He m?Ir.t.-!ncd th-it when a member of concTvsa wis tin ted, he entered into a solemn contract with bis constituency to leave hU piivale buwincss and rtttend to the public business fr.r which ho waa 1 1. "I saw gentlemen rise and they had defied the power of the house, If that Is not anarchy and revo- MuMoft, what la It? (Democratic ap- piause.) We In the house are the foun- tain source of order, a law-making body. Shall wo resolve ourselves into a body of anarchists? If some one were to throw a bomb from yonder gallery, he would be no more an anarchist than he who on this floor defies the power of the house." (Cries of "Shame! Shame!" and fiance, of the laws of the country. We should proceed to business or acknowl edge bur Incompetency. If we do not, the people will read the riot act to us." "They will," came in a chorus from the republican side. Mr. Bland then drifted Into a discus sion of the merits of the silver seign iorage bill, which was being opposed by a portion of the democratic majority, In the course of which he was three times called to order by Mr. Coomba, democrat, of New York. "The difflcully is," finally blurtsd out Mr. Uland, "I am too much in order. I , am telling too many plain truths thnt ! the country- ought to know." (Demo- I cratloepplause.) inai is a iaci, snouted mi. Den son, democrats of Alabama; "give it to the democrats for revenue only." "I thought the gentlemen on this side," sold Mr. Bland, "would realize they could not afford to be revolution ists and anarchists. I say we should either do business or surrender." (Re publican applause pnd shouts of "Giv it to them!") "It will be no outrage fo the people to rise up In a mob and cas ub down, for we are exercblinc mob ocrscy here. If this is a bad bill, vote It down: if you want more debate, we will give It to you, but to stay here and not to vote Is simply political suicide." SERIOUS CHARGES. A Mayor Accused of Purchasing Rifles S-'i. for Illegrl Purposes. Toledo, O., Feb. 23. Perhaps the most sensational turn in the all-absorb'.ng A V.

REVIVING AN OLD SCANDAL Mrs. Martin Nee Victoria Woodhull, Creating a Sensation In England's Metropolis. Associated Press. . London, Feb. 23. The case of Bld dulph Martin, formerly Victoria Wood hull, against the trustees of the British museum, was heard In the high court of Justice before Baron- Holler today. Mrs. Martin some time ago obtained an order from the court directing the trustees of the museum' to divulge the na.nes of the donors to the museum ol two books relating to the Beechor-Tll-ton trial. Mrs. Martin,' In her petition, declared the first of thess books Im puted that she, as Victoria, Woodhull, had published libelous ajicj obscene liter ature. The second book purported to contain statements made during the Bcecher-Tilton litigation ' which she claimed reflected on plaintiff. She said tho books contained imaginary inter views with Woodhull, in which she wau. quoted as Btatlng Til ton had been her lover; that she had lived with him for three months, and he called her the "Queen of Prostitutes." Woodhull was charged In these interviews with black mailing Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and counsel asserted the Interviews made a similar charge against Woodhull's sis ter. Extracts were read from the works of Woodhull, advocating purity between the sexes. Unluckllyi counsel continued, the man whom Woodhujl Joft in control ol the newspaper In New York inserted unknown to her some disgraceful' 11 i'-; tides. Counsel suld that v'oodhull, uri tll -sliQ.ruet Aiartln, lived a life of strug gle and suffering. When asked whether tihe had ever been guilty of immorality, Mrs. Martin said that from 1870 to ISSi Bhe waa dally before the, American pub lic, and no charge had ever been made against her character. Sir Charles Rub-t-ell, the attorney genera!, who appeared for the trustees of the tmiBeum, severe ly cross-xaamined Mrs, Martin In re gard to her life as a stockbroker and actress In San Francisco. , When the question was put regarding Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs. Martin said if the lieecher-Tllton cRse wa tried again In London she must have time to prepare her ease. INCENDIARY FIRES. Fort Wayne, Ind., Feb. 23. Early this morning the stores of Vordemark & Bros.,' dealers in shoes; Central Tele phone exchange; Myers Bros., hatters; 3; B. Thing & Co., shoes, were burned. The loss was 1100,000; insured. At the i&me time, in another ptirt of the town, 1 school house was destroyed. The loss was $20,000. Shortly afterwards a barn ivaa burned. It is believed all the fires were incendiary. . THE DECLINE IN SILVER. New York, Feb. 23. Tlie break In sil ver In London, and the consequent de gression in the price here, ia said by dealers in this city to be due to the col lapse of the bull movement, being man ipulation by Indian banking houses and mercantile firms on the strength of a probable duty on the Importations to ndla. The failure of the India council to favor such action, and four of other .-hanges likely to be made In the flnan oial system of India, has, It Is thought, brought on the liquidating movement jn the part of the holders of silver, which brought a heavy fall In prices. New York, Feb. 23. In Wall street the heavy break In silver bullion wn by far he most striking financial Incident of ihe day. As long as the recent market weakness was ascribed to liquidation sales by Bombay speculators' there was reason to believe the lowest price had been seen a week ago, but the Lon don market authorities have plainly been on a false scent, and this wet-k, al- Highest of all in Leavening Power. I t am -tai ii 12 Let most for the first time. It is acknowl edged that a heavy and sudden Increase In production overwhelmed the market. Not the lest significant is the known fact that this week's- break in silver has been largely caused by cable offers from New York at prices below the earlier London market. It rests now, perhaps, less on the Indian and Chinese demand than on the bottom figure at which the large American producers are content to sell. CHILDREN'S DAY AT THE FAIR. San- Francisco, Feb. 23. The school children of San Francisco visited tho mld-wlnter fnlr In a body today. The Examiner distributed 30,000 tickets among the school children of the city.

Today the schools were closed by re quests and it has been a day which will long be remembered by the little peo ple. There were CO.OOO admissions to tho grounds before noon, and the immense crowd cf children ran wild with enjoy ment. Fruit and-confectlonery were dis tributed among them by the' different counties.
