Washington, April 10.—[S.es'al]—Thf

tax bill is ndeed rlariains. It l-i
doubtful If there wse ever ao formilable an
army of outsiders who saem determined to
bresk into the treasury as daily crowd the
halla and corridors of the capitol.
Hvery state which has any money owlag
to it ntder the provisions of the
bill has sent its agents to help to deplete
the treasury. The eceaes In and ab;>nt the
capitol building, bo far as concern the iaoby
una lobbyists, put to shame anything seen
here even during the days oil rec&'.eia end
class legislation immediately following the
close of the war. It would soemtha the
jastage of the direct tax bill is but the be-
picsifcg of the gr6atwarto to b9 made npoa
the treatnry, and depleting it with a viawoi
rendering unnecessary
any tariff legislatios.
It has been the purpose of the republi-
cans, iu ce.se they passed the direct tan
bill, to forco other appropriations through
with a whirl. To empty the treasury is ap
pamitly the watchword with the republi-
cans with the Blair bill, the dependent pea-
sien bill, the fortification bill, the Wtlkins
xationul banting bill, which proposes
to increase the value or bick notes eqn&l to

Aside from their purpose to effeo: the
tariff question it is a3 well the wish of the
republicans to make this congress an ex

paign purposes at the coining election, and
to the discredit of the party in jnwer. The

SrATCS OF THE DKADLOOK.
Efforts have been made at intervals all
day to have a democratic house caucus
called for to night to break the deadlock,
but the result la still In doabt. The state of
the case is nbont as follows: Mr. Qiover
yesterday procured twenty signatures to a
call, more than enough to secure a caucus
last night, but was defeated by the refusal
of the honse to take a receas at aa early
hour. The same call-has been revived aad
date and time fixed for to night. Mr. O i:es
and his Irienda are perfectly williag to
caucus, on condition that the call shall
contain the names of all or nearly all of tho
democrats favorable to the direct tax bill.
The reason for imposing this condition is a
cetlre to bind last to ttie cauc us decision all
the democratic friendo of the bill, aad this
debire appeara to be based on she belief
that the opponents of the bill wouid be In a
decided majority In the caucu?.

SiSSATE-
April 10.-
nurnber ot
long ^etltlanf and memorials jjore prasent-
ec. asrfi refwred, onefor amendments to the
interetato commerce bill so as to miks the
act appiy to the traasportatiou of oi! by
pipe Jireo.
The senate reGnmed consideration of the
bill to authtrize the sale to aliens of cer-
tain mineral lands, the questian being on
the amendment offered by Mr. Faulkner re-
quiring a majority of the stockholders,
trustees or directors of a mining company
to be citizens ot the United States, The
amendment was rejected by a vote of yeas
20, nays 31.
After further disenssion the bill was
passed by a vote of yeas 31, nays 13.
; The senate then, at 2 p. m., resumed coa
eideraiion ot unfinished business, bsing
the bill to provide for the admission ot the
state oi South Dakota and the organic ition
of the territory of North Dakota.
Mr. Butler hoped that the present terri-
tory of Dakota would not be dismembered.
The question of tha admission of territories
W3B entirely within the discretion of con
grees. If any other doctrine should nre-
vsll, why should not the territory of Unh
be fsdeattfed as a state, or what was to pre-
vent 100,000 socialists, anarchists, nihilists
and communists from taking retngsiu some
comer of a territory and proceeding to
frame n constitution find state government
and demanding to be admitted as a state?
He therefore submttted that the senator
from Connecticut (Piatt) had gone too far
yesterday ia making such a proposition, es-
pecially when the claim for admission was
asserted, not on behalf of a majority ot the
people of Dakota, but on behalt of a fac-jiou
of politicians in that ierritory who had con-
tributed more than all else to prevent the
fe'ritory from being admitted aa a state.
The bill of tbe minority, he said, proposed
to authorize the people of the territory to
meet in convention, frame a constitution
and state government and submit thstn to
congress and (upon their ratiflsitio.-i by
cor gress) to declare Dakota a state ot the
union. The majority bill, on the other
hand, proposed to ratify and con3rm s so-
called constitution adopted in South O ikota
two and a half years ago, and to sea: as
CnPed States senators two gentle nea (re
publicans,) who claimed to have bean taen
elected. Would the senate be ■i.s're.l
to consent to seat as folt-fl - litecl
senators, equal to those who repre
seated sovereign state?, two mm who
sia'.plv roprenentetl 12 000 votes ou; o£
105,(JC0 votes? That was the proposition.
He referred to one of the geitlemea
seeking seats as a senator from D*k.it«
(Mr. Edgerton) as one whom hi had
spoken of courteously in the last c >ng /ass.
but who, in a recant speech in Dak .>ta, had
al'utied to hira in an offensive mnaar,
drawing a parallel between the sou; vara
mnu who learned nothing, forgot nototn?
and trusted to the bowle knife and rev )lv->r,
and the Dakota man, whose weapon was
the bible and tha spelling book. "Taa',"
he said, after reading this extract from Mr.
Etigertoii's speech, "is the language ot a
man to whom I extended the courtesy of
expressing kludly feelings when he was at-
tempting to get a seat on this floor. Hi is

Memphis, Tenn. The senate amendment
repealing the bridge charter now existing

tion bill, bat tha demftad tor tho regalar

contest over tie direct tax bill wasforcuvl.ly

Motions for recess ot ten, fiftena, twenty
ard iwenty-fiv; mienwa were sabait.-ed by
Mr. Bieckenridge of Arkansas, Mr. Weaver
'of Iowa, Sir. Anderson ot Illinois and Mr.
Oates tf Alabama. These were tqreaar
supplemented with motions to adjoura ua-
tll Thursday, to adjosrn until Friday aud
to ad journ until Saturday.
Ar 2 p. m no crnittiBsions had beea made
bj either tide in Ihe- controversy, aad all
tuik of a compromise had collapsed. It is
generally thought among the members that
the present condition of affalrB will con-
tinue until Tuesday next, the day when it is
intended to call the tarlfi bill, when a de-
termined effort, will be made to break, the
deaolor.k.
There is a desire on the part of the dem-
ocratic sdvocates of the direct tax bill to
have a cat cus cii'el for tho purpose of ae-
ttimining wr.at course should be pursusd
to put an end to the present stagnation of
business, but while the opponents indicate
a willingness to have a caucus called for
consultation, they decline to be bound by
e» nous Fsction.
The honrs wore avay without bains;
marked by a single incident of interest.
Late in the afternoon a vote was tascan up
on a motion to adjourn, in order that a test
might be made of the strength ot the com-
batnnts. The affirmative vote was 80, ox-
actly the number who voted In a similar
manner yesterday, The negative vote fell
off irom 156 yesterday to 140 to-day, the fall-
ing off being accounted for by the fa st that
a number ot leaves of absence were grass-
ed, mainly from the ranks of the support-
ers of the bill. Subsequently the serge aat-
at-arms appeared ana stated that all the
members who wire reported as absent had
retained so the house except saoh a i had
been excused or ware out ot the city, and
tl.e house, havirg received his report, re-
lapsed 'uto a state of lassitude.
Mr. Parker of r?e v York was first
to cJBlm sttention with a parliamentary
inquiry. It was, he said, the custom of tha
bouse to se.nd out special committeas for
the purpoee of Investigating the causes aad
effects of great railroad strikes. He desired
to knew if it would be in order for the great
railroad corporations to create a coaimittas
to investigate tiie cunses and effect of-the
strike new existing in the house of repre
sentatlvf s.
The Bpeeker vrn fern was not o? opinion
that ihe ir.qntrv presented was a parlia-
mentary one, mm Mr. Parker resuma-i his
seat with Ms question unanswered.
The flergeant-at-aras appeared at the
bar of the hop.se, h.tvlns in custody Vl.\
Dawler of Illinois, who was subjected to a
good deal oi bandiaego by bin fellow mem-
bers, as he formulated his excuse for hay
ii g been absent. He h:»d been, he said, at
home answering his correspondence, ia ox
peqrntUm th-<tt ihe situation in tne hoase
would re.maia unchanged.
Mr. E. B. Taylor mov-d to oxcase the
gentleman on payment of a fine of tlO. Ha
said he It 1. the time had arrived wueu taa
house should, assert power to have its tns a
bers present when uecaos irv. Ha regrested
that the gentleman fro-it Illinois «vaa the
parti before the ij .r of tha hou-e, because
he did cot think th^t gantleraan was any
more effendtnp thaa m«ny others, bus it
seemed to him that a man nlscted a taatn
ber of this honoraole body had his buslnasa
here when tte house was in session, aud had
no business elsewhere. He pro'flsieit against
the Idea (hat the matter of being
piesect was one of personal convenience
sr.d not or.e of duty, aad he protested most
seriously against the manner In which the
honsa had treated, the offense of absentee-
ism by making light of it, andbvbaing
frivolous when merit bars wera brought to
the bar upon that charge. He hadoajred
tfceTesolution in perfect good faltn, not de-
eirirg to injure the ieelings of any one, bat
he wished that the penalty shonld ba ita-
pe eed, and that 1* the offense of absenteeism
should prevail the penalty should be in-
creared until absolute expulsion should be-
come th6 remedy.
A member srgge3ted that instead of $10 a
fine of a barrel ot apples should ba im-
posed.
Mr. Taylor remarked that that was an-
other of those propositions which had made
the tome notorl-'tis and rMimlou; ia tte
eyes of the country.
Mr. Lawler attempted to ask Mr. Taylor
a question, but had proceeded no furiiber
than "Being a little short—" when ho was
interrupted by shouts of laughter.
Mr. Toylor said that to remodv'that diffi-
culty he would furnish the gentleman with
$10, to which Mr, lawler replied amid re-
newed laughter that he would accept tne
donation.
Finally, on motion of Mr. Whealar of
Alabama Mr. Lawler was excused without
the imposition of a fiae.
At, this hour, 1115, there is no prospect
oteiiher an aujnurnmont or recess.

nervous sick headache of wb.'ch I haJ be9n
a sufferer for years. It has bsen a great
heneflt to mo." Cantain Hngti Ha-klns,

purified my blood aud removed the blotches
from ley ekin." Mrs. Aarea8mlth, Toptou,

cured of a skin disease of the worst kind,"

That extreme tired feeling which Is so dis-
tressing and often so unaccountablo In tho
spring months, is entirely overcome by llood's
Sarsaparilla, which tones tho whole body,
purifies the blood, cures scrofula and all
humors, cures dyspepsia, creates an appetite,
rouses the torpid liver, braces up the nerves,
and clears tho mind. Wo solicit a comparison
of Hood's Sarsaparilla with any other blood
purifier in the market for purity, economy,
litrength, and medicinal merit.
Tired all the Time
"I had no appetite or strength, and felt
tired all the time. I attributed my condition
to scrofulous humor. I had tried several
kinds of medicine without benefit. But as
soon a3 I had taken lialf a bottle of llood's
Sarsaparilla, my arpetite was restored, and
my stomach felt better. I havo now taken
nearly three bott les, and I never was so well."
Mns. Jessis F. Dolheark, Paseoag, E. I.
n Mrs. C. W. Marriott, Lowell, Mass., was
completely cured of sick headache, which she
had 16 years, by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
~ Everybody needs and should take a good
spring medicine, for two reasons:
1st, The body is now more susceptible to
benefit from medicine than at any other season.
2d, The impurities which havo accumulated
in the blood should be expelled, and tho sys-
tem given tone and strength, before the pros-
trating effects of warm weather are felt. *
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best spring medi-
cine. A single trial will convince you of its
superiority. Take it before it is too late. ,
The Best Spring Medicine
"I tako nootl's Sarsaparilla for a spring
medicine, and I find it just tho thing. It tones
up my system and makes mo feel like a differ-
ent man. My wife takes it for dyspepsia, and
sho derives great benefit from it. She says it
is the best medicine sho ever took." F. C.
Tubneb, Hook & Ladder No. 1, Boston, Mass.
"Last spring I was troubled with boils,
caused by my blood being out of order. Two
bottles of Hood's SarsapariHa cured nie. I
can recommend it to all troubled with affec.
, tions of the blood." J. Schocb, Peoria. 111.
