THE PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 88.—The Washteuton'* birthday session of the houM Thursday «u marked by the mo»t turbulent and disorderly scsnes. After the reading of the journal Mr. Peace (Col.), rising to a question of personal privilege, corrected newspaper statements tt the etfeot that members of the populist minority attended the demooratlo caucus on the 19th.

Camming* It Angry.

Mr. Cummlngs (dem., N. Y.) arose and in a most vigorous manner d»bounced an attempt made to arrest him. He said: "This morning at o'clock while on the ioor ot this boose, I was approacned by an a*•lstast sergeant-at-arms and lnlormed that I was under arrest 1 refused to acknowledge theservloe, and told him and bis bos to. to try to arrest me at their peril I have been on the Boor of tht* house and day after day In my tommittee rooms three hours before the* sergeant-alarms has been In this capItel and hare been here for hours after he has left I denouooe this attempted arrest on Washington's birthday as unbridled tyranny, la the name of the Amerlean people I protest against holding a farcloal session on this national holiday, and, In honor of the memory of George Washington, I now move that this house adjourn."

A round of ^applause greeted this statement, but Mr. Dockery (Mo.), who was in the chair, explained that Mr. Cummlngs had been recognized only to make a personal explanation, and Mr. Cummlngs thereupon withdrew his motion.

Bland Makes a Chang..

There was a good deal of excitement on the floor and Mr. Beed (rep., Me.) tried to renew the motion, but the chair declared it was not in order, as he had previously recognised Mr. Bland. The latter wanted the privilege of making an explanation, but the loud demands for the regular order out him off and he was obliged to submit his motion, which was to close general debate on the seigniorage bill next Saturday at 8 o'clock without explanation. The change in form la the motion Indicated for the first time that Mr. Bland's faith in his ability to secure a quorum was waning, and that he realized that if he was to win further concessions to the opposition must be made. On his motion he demanded the previous question.

Pending that motion Mr. Cummlngs again moved an adjournment in honor of the memory of Washington. On a rising vote the motion was lost 102 to 134. Mr. Cummlngs demanded the yeas and nay a The republicans and democratic opponents of the bill voted for adjournment, but it was lost, 117 to 140.

More Excitement.

Upon the announcement Mr. Reed suggested that the sergeant-Rt-arm* bring to the bar such members as were under arrest. "We ought to have the regular daily jail delivery," he added amid laughter.

Before the sergeant-at-arms could bring the prisoners to the house bar Mr. Hulick (O.) called attention to the fact that while he was absent by leave of the house, granted until February 88, he had received a telegraphic summons from Sergeant-at-Arms Snow informing him that all leaves of absence had been revoked. and that he (Snow) held a warrant for his arrest, and asking if he would accept the telegram as service and return. Mr. Hulick explained that he had been absent attending the funeral of his colleague, Mr. Uouk, and his leave of absence had been extended. He insisted that his name had been improperly incorporated in the warrant for arrest. He asked not that he be excused, but that his name be stricken from the warrant. Mr. Bland moved that Mr. Hulick be discharged from custody.

Sergeant-at-Armi R.stor«s Ord.r. A dozen members were expressing their opinion on the justice of Mr. Hulick's arrest at the same time when Mr. Sickles moved to adjourn. The •ergeant-at-arms was called on to clear the aisles and restore order. Mr. Dockery ruled that the motion was not in order, but finally concluded to put It Again the motion to adjourn was defeated—107 to 188.

Mr. Blair (rep., N. H.) asked unanimous consent that the clerk, in honor of the day, read to the house the farewell address of Washington. Mr. Pendleton objected.

The chair then stated the question to be upon Mr. Bland's demand for the previous question upon his motion to discharge Mr. Hulick from custody. •leklM Create* a Scene.

As the house was dividing Mr. Sickles (dem., N. Y.) loudly oalled for recognl tion. "I am informed," said he, "that 1 am under arrest I demand to know by what authority."

The speaker pro tem. ordered Mr. Sickles to take his seat Mr. Sickles declined to sit down. He said: "If I am under ai rest I can be no worse off If I am In contempt I am under arrest now, sir, and In custody of the ser-geant-at-arms."

All this time Mr. Sickles had been standing and the clamor that he should be heard grew so irresistible that he was recognized* "I am Informed by the sergeant-at-arms that I am under arrest I desire to know if this is true. I ask that the report of the sergeant-at-arms be made now." After a wrangle the report was heard. It saysi

Ores* Disorder la the Bouse. "I demand a separate trial," said Mr. Sickles, after the reading of the report was concluded A dozen members were olamoring for recognition. Others were pushing and crowding In the aisle, not paying the slightest heed to the continuous gavel-pounding of the speaker pro tem. "This is the house of representatives," shouted Mr. Dookery, "not a beer garden. The gentleman will have a separate trial as be desires, but the rules must be observed.' The gentleman will take his seat"

It was then decided to call the prisoners in their order. Mr. Adams (Pa.) came forward, starting the eoafasion afresh by saying! "I was absent In Pennsylvania exercising the highest right of sltisenslilp, voting to elect cltigen to membership In this house, and 1 am proud to say I helped roll up a fepublloao majority ot over 178,000." A "I mote the gentleman be dlscarged," said Mr. Reed, "and that his name be strlekes from the warrant" "No," Interrupted Mr. Sickles loudly. "His name should not be stricken from the warrant The warrant is null and void. There are no namei in the warrant"

This statement created a sensation. Mr. Dockery ordered the warrant to be read. The names of the absentees were not mentioned in It

The excitement grew Apace. Members crowded about Oen. Sickles. The noise and oonfuslon were deafening. 'There ought to be some way of squelching him," shouted Mr. Meredith, but Mr. Slekles stood firm.

Mr. Springer Insisted that Mr. Sickles should take his seat During all this time Mr. Dockery had been counting the house and at this point he announced that the demand for the previous question had been carried—97 to 0.

When the point of no quorum was made Mr. Bland withdrew the demand for the previous question and also the motion at the same time, renewing his motion to cloae debate on the seigniorage bill.

The complication raised by the alleged discovery ot the faulty character of the warrant was such that Mr. Outhwalte, In order to obtain a breathing space, moved an adjournment The motion was lost—€8 to 125. As soon as the announcement of the vote was made Mr. Sickles declared that he objected to further proceedings under this warrant "It does not oontain a •ingle name," he said, and is absolutely void The sergeant-at-arms is liable to ap action by each member who has been arrested under it

Order seemed to be out of the question and In the midst of the din Mr. Bland moved to adjourn. As Mr. Bland, the rccognlzed leader of the fight, had made it, his supporters voted with him. It was carried—189 to 101, and at 8:08 the house closed one of the most disorderly sessions of this con gress by adjournment until to-day at 12 o'clock.

S8.--AI 9:80 Thursday morning a terrilic explosion occurred in the coal mines at Blossburg, 3 miles southwest of here, and soon a band of rescuers were at work to investigate the amount of damage, and, if possible, give succor to those within. Six bodies have been recovered, and it is believed that two Italians who are missing are in the mines and. probably dead. Three others were injured by being burned, bruised or inhaling fire damp.

From the best information obtainable It is probable the explosion was caused by gas in an entry being ignited by a miner's light It Is reported that Joseph Fatherlngill, the fire inspector, had but a few minutes before the explosion notified William Graham, the pit boss, that this entry, which is 1H miles from the opening of the mine, was dangerous on account ot being filled with gas. Whether tho pit boss forgot to notify the miners* or they went into the entry without his seeing them is not known. A aoroner'a jury has been impaneled and Is taking evidence.

Luckily only a few men were iu the mines on account of it being a holiday o? It la bellsved over a hundred would have perished. The Blossburg coal mines have been operated the past thirteen years by the Atchison, Topoka & Santa Fe company and are the largest in the territory.
