Sept. 5.—In tho Houae
the Senate bill was passed to establish a port of delivery at Sioux City, Iiw Mr, CummlngB (N. Y.) rising to a question of privilege, protested against his "blacklisting" by the famous Cannon resolution. The gontleman wbo had olio red tho resolution, he said, had mado unjust imputations, and in making theso imputations he bad falsified tho Record and blacklisted himself. lie then proceeded to make an attack upon Cannon, comparing him to tho noted Ttnnvlllo of tho Frefloh revolution. Ho then proceeded to arraign tho Speaker and the majority of tho committee on rules. This majority composed a.triumvirate, ho said, almost as
iowerful as tho one which sprang Into after tho assassination of Julius Consar. When the House met In tho morning Mark Antony recognized Lepldus or Octavlus, and nobody else. All the legislative meat wa? cut and dried, and distributed according to a prearranged programme.
Mr. Cummlngs proeeedod with his arraignment of tho Speaker, but after frequent Interruptions asked unanimous cohsent to print the remainder of his remarks In tho Record, but this consont was refused-
Mr. Cannon remarked that the gontleman was printing a speech under tho false pretense of making a personal explanation.
Mr. Cummlngs—That pretense is not as fulso as tho pretense by whioh you smuggle'', my name into that blacklist.
Mf. Cummlngs proceeded with hU speech, and at the end of an hour was (topped by tho gavel of the Speaker pro torn. (Mr, Durrotvs).
Mr. Bland (Mo.) mndo the potnt of Wdor, that In spoaklng to a question of privilege, a gentleman was not governed by the hour rule.
Tho Speukor pro torn, overruled the point ana Mr. Illand appealed. A parliamentary wrangle ensued which terminated in the Speaker ruling Mr. Cummlngs' remarks out of order. Yhat gontlcma took bis seat, remarking: "I may bo muzzled temporarily, but all the machinery of tho House can not muzzle me eternally."
Mr. Cannon said tbut sometimes be •bought that the oonsuro of tho gentleman from Now York was praise and his praiso really censure. The record of this ilouse would 1M a suflleiont answer with the people to tho attacks that had bo en made, oud ho appealed to enlightened public sontimont. No cursing and reviling from the gentleman from Now York or a partisan pross oould countervail against the records.
Mr. Cilmmlngs replied that his record would oompo.ro favorable with that of tho gentleman from Illinois.
Mr. Lacoy (la.) thon called up the Brocklnrldgo election caso, and gavo notice that he would cull tho previous question at 1 o'clock to-day-

nut TUA IlKltS (i() llOWN. 3 NEW YKIIK. Sept ft.—Samuel A. Sawyor, Daniel L. Wallaco and Thomas Miller, comprising tho firm of Sawyor, Wallace & Co., exporters of breadstuffs and cottons and dealers in leaf tobacco at 18 Broadway, caused great surprise in business circles Thursday by making an assignment to Marshal Ayres. Tho firm did a largo export trade In grain and did a very large business in cotton and coffeo options, principally for European account and woro tho leading commission merchants in tills city In heavy loaf tobacco, whtch thoy sold to manufacturers and luiportora
It is an absolute and irretrievable col«lapse, and tho largo capital of tho concern is completely wiped out It Is Impossible as yet to ascertain the extent of the firm's llabllltlos, but they aro roughly estimated by membors of the house to bo upward of $3,000,000.
The present firm commenced business on September l, 1874, at 47 Broad street, succeeding tho firm of tho same name established in 18ft3, and taking In as partner Mr. Miller, who had boon for many years cashier of tho old firm. In October, 1883, tho firm opened a branch and warehouse in Louisville. John Wallaco, who is a nophew of David L. Wallace, and who had been acting as book-keeper for the firm, took charge. The establishment at Louisville had always been considered a valuable acquisition by Sawyer, Wallaco & Co. Tho firm at one tluo, besides being exporters of breadstuffs and cotton and doalors In leaf tobacco, oxported line petroleum. They woro interested in tho firm of Lombard, Ayres & Co., and disposed of their Burpltis product T^bey sold out tbelr interest in Lombard, Ayres & Co. some years ago.
Tho firm of Sawyer, Wallace & Co. was estimated to be worth between $1,250,000 and Sl.500,000 abovo all liabilities. Tliey ware prompt In paying for local purchases and responded promptly also when called upon to margin their contracts. Mr. Wallace attended to tho loaftobacco branch of tho business, Mr. Sawyor lookod after the export trade and Mr. Miller to tho finances. A short time ago Mr. Millor made a etatomont to tho effect that the firm wore worth moro than S1,!00,000, and that tbelr liabilities wero merely nominal and that thoy did a commission business only
When tho announcement of tlio firm's failure was mado a rumor gained circulation to tho effect that tho firm were speculating largely of lato In cotton and that tho markot bad gone against them. It was also said that the firm had been speculating in grain and lost heavily. It is believed that the firm bavo pretty well protected their interests in thi3 country, and that, their chief losses, which thoy think may reach nearly 51,500,000, will be in London and mainly on thoir pork dealings. Tho elder Mr. Sawyor has just returned from Kuropo and is not positive as to the exact situation of his concern's affairs there.
Houses on Wall .street say the cati6e of tho failure was tho result of tho efforts mado by tho firm to squolcb competition in the commission business by doing their commission buslnoss with European speculators without a margin and a small commission. In the pork deal last January the firm aro said to bave sustained a loss of $1,000,000 on this account Tho claims for theso losses against European speculators aro among the nominal assets. It is estimated that tho sum total of nominal assots will reach $1,7.10,000, among whloh are Included tho 81,000,000 lost in the pork deal.
In 1882 the flrm made an attempt to corner corn In tho Now York market, but made a failure of It The firm have undoubtedly Immense holdings of merchandise In the various produota in which thoy dealt both In an oxport and import way. It will, however, take eome time to realize on those holdings, and the general opinion is that tho assignment was mado to limit the loss on spoculutivo options.
CHICAGO, Sept. ft. —Sawyer, Wallace & Co., probably tho largost and bostknown commission firm in America, failed Thursday. The headquarters of tho firm wero nt Now York, but thoir agents wero in nearly ovory speculative market In the world. Grain, provisions, cotton, coffee, tobacco, petroleum, and In fact noarly every product undor the sun that Is dealt In speou* latlvoly was handled by thom and handled on an extensive scale. They also did a largo shipping and oxport trade In flour, grain, provisions and cotton and wore Importers of eoffoo. The concern was established thirty-seven years ago nnd for over thirty years has boon in tho foremost ranks.
Over a year ago the firm a Item tad to run a corner in October pork, but failed to make tho venture a success. The packers manufactured an onormous quantity of tho product and delivorcd it in settlement of their contracts. This property which the firm look after a legal battle in the courts, now reachos the enormous total of 15.\00D barrels. They havo been compelled to carry It at great expense ever sineo. Until ton days ago thoy had disposed of but little of It, but since that time it is supposed they bave marketed about 2.1,000 barrols.
In addition to this disastrous vontura tho firm vcro supposed to have had an expensive "straddle" In wheat betwoen Chicago and New York markets. They sold the grain In this markot and bought it la New York. Two woeks ago the Chicago market becamo too strong for them ami I hey bought in their wheat bore at a loss. Tho Now York end of the deal, it Is understood, is still un-
