ffiBLIM FOB®? &‘igniorasje Veto Rollcall Ordered Unexpectedly by the Speaker, THE HOUSE. IN COMMOTION. • President Cleveland SuHtalned In Hl. Opposition to the Bland Bill, but Not Until After Antinllverltes Had Been frightened by Republican* liefusing to Vote—Other National News. >. Washington, April s.—House Republicans began a filibuster immediately upon the assembling of the house yesterday, but it was soon overcome by a Democratic quorum which decided the Hilborn-English contest in favor of the latter and had him sworn in. Ten Democrats and three Populists voted against English. Objection being made to taking up the bill giving effect tft the Bering sea arbitration, Mr. Bland called up the vetoed seigniorage bill and stated that on Saturday he would demand the previous question. But the Democrats seemed to desire avoidance of a conflict and sent up cries of “Vote! Vote!” Republican* Ewchered. Then followed one of the most remarkable scenes witnessed in the house in years. The Republicans were euchered out of their chance of seeing the dissensions in the Democratic ranks thoroughly aired. Mr. Tracy, who was standing in a side aisle, said that as far as the Democrats of the minority of the committee on coinage, weights and measures was concerned, they were willing to take a vote immediately. This statement was received with shouts of Democratic applause. Mr. Tracy, however, suggested that he would like to have the opinion, of C. W. Stone (Rep., Pa.), who made the minority report against the bill. Mr. Stone said he was unwilling to agree to at once close the debate. There was then great confusion on the floor. Members on both sides were conferring in groups. The speaker, with uplifted gavel, surveyed the house for a moment. Mr. Bland expressed a willingness to have the vote taken immediately. Mr. Reed, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Dingley and Mr. Stone were in earnest consultation. As it subsequently appeared, they agreed that Mr. Dingley should make the opening argument for his side. Meantime no one addressed the chair and the speaker stated the question to pass the bill, the president’s objection to the contrary notwithstanding. The speakersaid: “The constitution requires that the vote shall be taken by yeas and •nays.” Gasp of Astonishment. ( The speaker hesitated, but the members were so engrossed that they paid no attention and the speaker ordered a rojlcall. A “Mr. Allen,” began the clerk. Thwe ' was a gasp of astonishment on the Republican side as they awakened to realize that the rollcall had begun. The Democrats were overjoyed. Amid a great uproar a dozen Republicans jumped to their' feet and clamored for recognition. They saw the coveted opportunity of exposing to the public gaze the dissensions in the camp of the enemy slipping from them, but they made a hard fight. The confusion was so great that the clerk could go no further than the first name. /’Too late, too late,” shouted the Democrats, as. Mr. Reed tried to make himself heard above the uproar. AtTast, by dint of hard pounding, a semblance of quiet was restored, and Mr. Reed protested that Mr. Dingley was ready to address the house, but had not addressed the chair because Mr. Bland was entitled to the floor. He declared that the first Dame was called'before any one understood the situation. Democrats meanwhile shouting “regular order.” A Dozen Republicans Protested. Speaker Crisp declared’that the house understood the circumstances; that Mr. Bland had been recognized and agreed to a vote. A dozen Republicans protested, but Mr. Crisp explained that he had stated the question and directed a rollcall, and not until afterward had there been an intimation that Mr. Dingley desired to address the house. The explanation of the speaker was • not satisfactory. The Republicans were appealing for recognition, the Democrats tor the regular order. Excitement was intense. “I want the speaker to understand this matter,” said. Mr. Reed finally. “The speaker does understand it,” retorted the speaker, sharply cutting off Mr. Reed, “and the speaker directs the clerk to resume the call of the roll.” A burst of applause from the Democratic side greeted this. Mr. Reed continued to protest, but the speaker insisted that he a take his seat. The Maine man finally sat down, but was up in a minute asking to be heard. “Will the speaker hear a word?” he asked. “My colleague states ” “The chair will not hear the gentleman. The clerk will call the roll.” Terrific Uproar. The uproar was terrific at this point and above the din Mr. Boutelle shouted: •, “I shall decline to cast my vote in such a condition of confusion as this.” , Mr. Burrows attempted to address the • chair, while Mr. Wilson (Wash.) cried' “tyranny.” “tyranny,” but the speaker would not listen afid ordered the clerk to proceed. Once or twice afterward Mr. Burrows and Mr. Reed attempted to break in, but the speaker declared emphatically that he would not hear them; that the rollcall could not be interrupted. The Republicans were beside themselves wit!) anger. They refused to vote on the first rollcall. The i- .ti-silver Democrats were in despair, as the first call gave the silver men the necessary two-thirds. Finally, after a consultation, the Republicans agreed to vote and did vote on the second rollcall. This turned the tide and upon the an nouncement of the vote it was found that the motion to pass the bill over the veto had been defeated, the silver men lacking 74 of the necessary two-thirds. Mr. Bynum was the only Indiana Democrat who voted to sustain the veto, .JBr -tz, Brookshire, Brown, Conn, Cooper, Hammond, Holfhan, Martin and Taylor voting aye on the motion to pass the bill over the veto.

Mr. Cooper’s Bill to Prevent Their Hoarding Reported to the Washington, April s.—An important measure to bankers and financiers was reported from the house conlmittee on banking and currency yesterday. It was Congressman Cooper’s bill authorizing the taxation of greenback mon<*y. The vote on reporting the bill was 9 to 4, all the Democrats and one Republican (Walker of Massachusetts) voting for it. Four Republicans, led by Mr. Johnson of Indiana, opposed the bill and will probably present a minority report. “The object in taxing greenbacks is to prevent their being hoanled by banks to escape taxation,” said Mr. Cooper, author of the bill. “The report is a privileged one, and will be called up in the house at the first opportunity, and I believe will pass. Senator Voorhees favefrs it. The senate once passed a similar bill introduced by Senator McDonald of Indiana and I think it will pass this one.” Hoosier Asked to Resign.

Washington, April s.—Senator Butler reached Washington from South Carolina yqsterday and was in his seat in the senate. He said that he hart visited Darlington and Florence and that both the people and the soldiers were doing their best to preserve the peace, but that owing to the attitude of the governor the situation was more or less critical.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION, House Destroyed and a Family Wiped Out In Oil City. Oil City, Pa., April 5.—A terrific explosion occurred here at 5:30 last evening by which four persons were instantly killed and two fatally injured. The dead are: Joseph Kaullis, a German laborer, aged 50. Mary Kaullis, aged 6 years. Joe Kaullis, aged 4 years. Mary T asm er, aged 7 years. Mrs. Kaullis and her babe, 6 months old, were seriously hurt, and are now lying in a dying condition at the hospital. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. When it occurred Kaullis was on the back porch of his residence and the children were playing in the yard. His wife and youngest'child were inside the house. There was no gas burned in the house, either for fuel or lights. The bodies of all were terribly mangled and the entire rear portion of the house was blown into kindlingwood. The only plausible theory’ tffivanced is that Kaullis found a glycerine can and brought it home with him, and that it exploded accidentally. LONGER DELAYED. Prendergast’s Hanging Now Postponed to July 2 by Judge Clietlain. Chicago, April s.—The hanging of Prendergast has been postponed by Judge Chetlain until July 2 and the beginning of the investigation of his sanity postponed to May 21, on the theory that but one postponement is to be granted and that long enough to provide for the trial of the case.

Indications. Indiana—Fair; cooler. Ohio—Possible light rains on the lakes; cooler.

At least nine lives have been sacrificed. Unless the strong arm of the military interferes tho dead will bb conned by the scores bqfore tonight. Sb much excitement was never known in the region and people everywhere are apprehensive of graver dangers.' The rioting began early inuthe morning, but the climak was not reached until 3 o’clock, when a body qf ■ strikers numbering several hundred marched into the Davidson works of ihe H. C. Frick Coke company at Connellsville, where men were working. The strikers had been there in the morning to get the men out, but no one was working. In the afternoon when they returned deputies had been placed to receive them. W hen the strikers approached they were ordered to stop. They came on and tried to get at the men on the ovens.

Hearing of Paddock's murder, hundreds volunteered to avrtnge his death. The pursuing party overtook tl>e strikers half a mile from Davidson and opened fire on them. The strikers fired in return, but ran bn. Three strikers fell, one being killed instantly, and two others being fatally wounded. Another of the strikers who got the start of the main body was shot by a deputy. He was also killed instantly, the ball penetrating his neck. Strikers Pursued and Arrested. Eleven strikers were captured where the first battle took place, and the pursuing party kept up the chase until Dawson, a point seven miles distant, was reached, where 53 more were captured. Deputies and level-headed citizens prevented lynchim; of the 11 who were taken back to (tonnellsville. A great crowd greeted the arrival of the 64 other prisoners and amid cries of “Lynch them!

My greatest affliction was sleeplessness; it wasjilmost Impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen ,j Dr. Miles' remedies advertised 1 began using Nervine. After taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that I was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally be injurious to trie; but on being assured by the druggist that it was perfectly harmless. I continued with the Heart Cure. Today I can conscientiously say that Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more forme than anything I had eveb taken.
