the Wilaon Hill.

Washinuton, Feb. 0.—The deadlock | ou Mr. Bland's silver seigniorage bill j was broken after four hours of continnous filibustering yesterday, when by a vote of 1.0 to 4 the house carried Mr. Bland's motion to go into committee of the whole for consideration of his bill. The eastern Democrats and the great mass of the Republicans made a determined opposition, but Mr. Bland was at ■ last victorious. On the final vote 20 Republicans and all the Populists voted with him. while 2‘2 Democrats who were present joined with the remainder of the

Republicans in refusing to vote.

It was thoroughly understood that quite a numlter of the Democrats who j voted with Mr. Bland were in favor of certain modifications of the bill, although ^ they would not carry their opposition to the extent of voting against its consid-

eration. ,

It is abo well known that Secretary Carlisle and the administration goner ally is opposed to the hill in its present form. After the consideration of the bill began Mr. Carlisle arrived at the capitol and held a conference with several of the leading Democrats, as well as those Democrats who are managing the filibuster, and just before adjournment the announcement was officially made on the floor by Mr. Tracy that no further attempt to filibuster against the bill would be made. This is taken to mean that a compromise has ’.Teen agreed upon and that certain concessions will be made in line with the suggestions of Mr. Carlisle, who. while ho is represented as not being against the coinage of silver seigniorage m (he treasury, yet insists that discretionary power ought to be lodged with the secretary about issuing the seigniorage, so that it would not hi injected in a lump into tlie circulating medium of the country. He maintains , that it would be as injurious to put out Ijsij.OOO.OOO suddenly .jjs it would tie to withdraw that amount from the circu-

lating medium.

Mr. Bland began an address on his hill, but yielded to a motion that the committee rise after the agreement against filibustering had been n ached. The order to arrest absentees was revoked. The house then passed a bill to make uniform tin* methods of accounting in depart mi nts and adjourned.

The noose had parted and Purvis' neck instead of beii.;; broken was only slightly abraised by the rope. He fell on his back and remained perfectly still for a few moments. Some one called to Purvis: **Ar, you hurt?" From under the blackcap

Purvis replied:

"For God’s sake get me out of this.’’

Others came up and Sheriff Magee made ready to conduct Purvis to th**

scaffold tor a second attempt.

There were four of the board of siijier visors present and they called tin* sheriff into the courthouse tor a conference. They advised that in the fact* ot Purvi having so stoutly protested his innocence, and of liis having ma le a partial confession of what he had known of the Buckley murder, that all thi s • faet* b * laitl before the governor, and that further proceedings be postponed to await orders.

He went out and laid before them everything in connection with tin* unfortunate man's last mmnen's; told the people of the confession tuaf Purvis had made, leal informed them of his persistence in denying that he took Buckley's life.
