TBNTB STREET SHOE STORE 1 y. Jan. Filibustering against tho bankruptcy bill was inituccu- rated in the house yesterday by Mr.

ICil- gore; Democrat, of Texas. In the first place he insisted on the reading of tho journal. in full. Then ho objected to tho approval of that document and an hour was consumed before it was finally agreed to ao a portion of the records of the house, which are accepted by the courts as binding evidence of the proceedings of congress. And again ha brought his dilatory tactics into effect.

Ho was seconded in his endeavor to defeat tlio bankruptcy bill by Mr. Pierce, of Tennessee, who supplemented his every filibustering motion with another which Was calculated to prevent action, and the filibustering continued. "Another wasted day" was the comment of the Republicans and their comments were echoed by a majority of the Democrats. But the few Democrats opposed to the bankruptcy measure held firm and tho house adjourned withotit action. thus exhausting the two days assigned to the judiciary committee and tho bankruptcy bill.

In tlio Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. Neither tho anti-option bill nor tho Cherokee outlet bill, which have tho alternate right of way in the senate, had any show of consideration yesterday. The hour of discussion was taken up in routine matters, none of thorn entitled to bo regarded as of much public interest.

The only exceptions vero the introduction of a bill for the admission of Utah as a state and an amendment reported from tho committee on naval affairs and referred to tho committee on appropriations looking to a further increase of tho navy by ono buttle ship, two armored coast defense vessels, ten gunboats and eight torpedo boats. Tho rest of tho day's session, from 1 o'clock up to ad- adjournment, passed behind closed doors and was devoted to tlio question of whether the nomination of Mr. Mc- C'omas as one of tho judges of tho supremo court of the District of Colum- should bo or not confirmed. Imulgurul Coiniulltco AVorrlotl. WASHINGTON, Jan.

20. Tho inaugural committee is having considerable trouble in securing quarters for the Pennsylvania troops that will participate in the ceremonies on the 4th of March. It was intended that tho main body should be quartered in tho Northern Liberty market, a structure having tho largest floor Bpnce of any in tho city. Tho owners, however, demanded $1,500 for tho privilege, which tho committee regards as prohibitive. Tho secretary of the interior has given the corridors of the patent office for tho use of the troops, but this will only give accommodations to 800 men.

Tho secretary of the navy has also come to the rescue, and has tendered the use of tho sail lofts at thn navy yard. While thoso lofts can bo made measurably comfortable, they are inconveniently located, being far away from the scene of tho inaugural ceremonies. An Illinois Jclnn. WASHINGTON, Jan. Mr.

Scott, of Illinois, offered in the house a bill amending tho anti-trust act so as to require the attorney general, upon oath of any ten reputable citizens that a trust or combination exists, to inquire into tho matter and prosecute all persons a party to tho -combination. In case a trust is found to exist in respect to any article upon which duty is now levied tlio tariff is to bo removed. Any property owned under mioh contract or trust in tho course of transportation is made liable to sointiro and forfeiture to the United States.

spring and coiled itself around Batman's neelt and body, pinioning his arms to his sides. Bannon struggled like mad to gain his but all iu vain. Tighter and tighter tho snake drew its coils and finally Bannon became unconscious under tho terrible pressure. J. D.
