Washington, January 18 '89.
Yesterday was the field day in the
House for the Speaker. The result was
that it took the regular Speaker and two
Speakers pro tempore to straighten out
the entanglements whioh followed one
upon the other during the afternoon,
The oooaBion was the interpretation of
the special order by whioh Mr. Springer
had leave to present his substitute for
the Senate bill admitting the DakoSas.
After the general debate bad dosed
Mr. Burrows made the point of order
whioh the Republicans had been holding
baok against the substitute. The spe
cial order allowed only the substitution of
the House bill originally reported by the
oommittee, which contained simply a
provision admitting Dakota aa a whole.
However, Mr. Sprjjiger called up a mod
ified substitute for the divi
sion of Dakota. Mr. Burrows made the
poiut of order that this modified substi
tiite could not be considered as oarry
ing out the orignal intention of the
House, and in this he was sustained by
th Chair. But this opportunity had
not given Mr. Burrows all the time he
wished in whioh to boom his candidacy
for Speaker, and he submitted a point
that under the rules an omnibus bill
oould not be substituted for a bill relat
ing to a single Territory. Upon this
point he made his gi-and-staud display
as a candidate for Speaker. He had his
desk surrounded by a large seotion of
the Congressional Library, from whioh
he quoted a varieiy.ol paragraphs, more
or less convincing, as tho prooeedure of
past Congresses, and by this means di
rented attention to the fact that he would
be a pretty good man to have us a pre
siding oflioer to unravel the parliament
ary entanglements that may ooour in the
next House.
Mr. Springer is a sort of parliament
ary Ajax, and he stood defiant while the
ohain lightning of Burrow's argument
played about him. Mr. Reed entered
the contest, and the result was that the
House in a few minutes divided upon
party linos. This was what Mr. T ii
rows did not want. He had made an
elabornte presentation of a delicate
point, and he could not afford to be
ruled as holding an untenable position,
which would inevitably have happened
had ths House been called upuu to re
view the decision of the Chair. At tiie
last moment Mr. Burrows withdrew his
point of order, thereby admitting that he
bad made a failure to distinguish him
self as a parliamentarian.
Mr. Chang Yen Hoon, the present
ministor from China, will return to the
Howery kingdom next June, as his term
of office here will expire then. On his
arrival at l'ekin, he will rank fifth in

all probability Mr. Chang will be made
governor of one of the larger , dependen
cies of China.

Uongressman Mason, or (Juicago, was
doing the honors the other day for sever
al of bis constituents from the Windy
City. One pf his main "heelers" when
Mnj. Martin, of Texas, was poiutud out
to him, said:
"O, yes; I mind a lot of stuff printed
about him. What was it be done made
him so conspicuous?"
"Why," said Mr. Musou, "It was re
ported that when he first came here he
blew out the gas just before going ti
bed in his room at a Washington hotel.
''Well what of it; why was such a fuss
mude alxmt it?" asked the Chicago oon
atitucrit from Blue Islaud.
"Whv on account of his blowing out
the gas light," said Mr. Mason.
"Well," said another constituent from
the Black Road, "you don't tbiufc a man
of any seriHu is going to sleep iu the
room with the liuut burning do you. 1

The operations of party discipline are
by no means so evident in Congress as
during the campaign. The eleotion has
practioally settled the status of the two
parties for the next four years, and there
is a great deal more independence of ac
tion on the part of the senators and rep
resentatives. This is well illustrated by
be understanding that when the senate
tariff bill goes over to the house a good
many members not classified as Randall
lemoorats will vote for tho senate bill,
though it is well known that they would
not have done so previous to the 6th of
last November. On the other hand, it is
believed that a republican senate will
substantially agree to the Springer om-
uibns bill, piovided that they do not
have to swallow New Mexioo. On both
these bills the sharpest kind of party
fighting has bwj done, but tho members
of neither party were so solidly united iu
opinion as might have been presumed by
their respective votes before the presi
dential election. This state of affairs is
gratifying to the extent that it gives
some promise of legislation before the
end of the session other than that sug
gested by partisan considerations.
Up to to-day the eleotoral votes for 20
states have been received and found to
bo correct. Those of Delaware, Mary
land aud Texas have been found to be
irregular and have been returned. It is
asserted as probable that the elsctors of
eaoh of these three states will have to be
reconvened. Nothing, so fur, has been
heard from either Nevada or Oregon.-
The messenger started baok with the
Texas vote yesterday afternoon.
Theoretical politicians at the capital
are now busy dismissing "what might
have been" if some of those who voted
for the tariff bill and against it or vice
versa. Senator Riddleberger declared
on the floor, after the vote had boen tak
en, that had it not been for the fact that
he was paired, he would have voted
against the bill. Suoh action on his .
part would have made the result a tie.
Four or five hours before Senator Rid
dleberger gave uttoranoe to his person
al opinion, Senator Blair had said to a
friend that if his vote would defoat the
bill he would be found with the opposi
tion. Mr. Blair said he was forced to
this position by tCe aotion of the senute
in making certain reductions iu the lum
ber sohedulo, but realizing that his soli- r
tary vote would not defeat the. measure
he voted for it for politioal reasons only.
If Blair and Riddleberger had come to
gether before the vole was taken aud
had mutually discovered eaoh other a
sentiments, say some of the demoorats,
the bill would have been defeated. The
supporters of the bill were uot ulnrinod
this morning by the soareorow of yester
day. They say that no such oombiu''

The advocates of women suffrage held
their annual meeting in this oity in tha
nrly part of the woek. Tiie ladies wer
gratified with the interest shown by the
general publio iu the meeting, and thoy
consider that the addresses have been
more eloquent und oouviuoing, if possi
ble, than ever before. Tho andienoes
have been composed in the main of ladies
who may be Baid to represent the modern
progressive woman. It would seem that
the women of advanced idoas find it no
longer necessary to domonstrate that
fact by absurdities either in dress or in
ideas. There was nothing in the ap
pearance of the audiences ut these meet
ings to indicate that they were not
gatherings in tho interest of missions or
one of the many causes which enlists so
extensively tho sympathy and active ef
forts of women throughout the country.
Miss Anthony, in tho absence of the
president of the association, Mrs. Stan
ton, presided with her usual tact, aud
the importance and progress of tho
movement was nbly presentod by nearly
nil the prominent ladies conneotod with
the association.
The effeot of the long tariff discussion
has been sovore upon Senator Allison,
judging from his appearance. Ho has
had the entire responsibility of directing
the bill through the stormy passage in
the Senate, and muoh of hn time out
side of that Bpont in disonssion was bc-
ii pied in hearings and the arduous work
of the committee room. A" few months
igo there was no more placid, contented
looking Senator on the floor of that body,'
but now at the close of this long debate
he appears weary and careworn and to
tally unlike the Allison of a year ago.
Senator Aldrioh has likewiuo had a
great deal of responsibility as the assist
ant to Mr. Allison in the direction of tho
bill, but the tax on his nervous energy
was not so great as that on the former
and he does not show any ovidonne of
the struggle. it.
IN TUB II.DS OF IDAHO.
Capt. OroziiT, an Idaho raui-liman, got
caught in the snow storm while on bis
way from his ranch on Diamond creek
to Chloride, a small mining oamp. Ho
was mounted but soon lost his way. He
had neither a gun with him to discharge
and thus attraot attention und help, nor
matches to start a fire. All he had was
a pocket knife. When he found that ho
was getting benumbed he killed his
horse with a knife, took out the entrals
and crawled into tho warm carcass, leav
ing only the liver inside. Completely
covered up with snow he remained in
this retreat for three days, eating mean
while a portion of the horse's liver.
When ho was missed a party went out to
hunt for him and was successful in its
search. He wus taken to Fairview, a
mining cain( on the Cnilnllo Megro
crt-ek. Ho is badly fiiost bitten. Lo
calizer. Over the hills these mornings the eon
o.ists its mellow light iu a way that ri
vals even the reduction of golden tresses
in Gwendolyn's glass.
