Clothing Trade op PRwwMrw, HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LEADER IN THE Washington, Aug. 27.—There were but 50 members present when the House was called to order this morning, but a quorum was obtained after 10 minntes delay. The oponents of the lard bill, led by Mr. Mason, of Illinois, at once began filibustering. The filibustering led to a personal quarrel between Mr. Beckwitb, of Illinois, and Mr. Wilson, of Washingiugton. It almost led to blows. Wilson struck Bock with lightly on the breast, but Representative Williams, of Ohio, anxious to stop the affray, seized Mr. Beck with from behind and forced him into his seat with considerable vigor. At this Backwith turned his attention to his supposed assailant in the rear, and (t required the efforts of two or three Representatives to prevent a collision. Mr, Williams succeeded in assuring Mr. Beckwith that he had no hostile intentions, and the hit tcr resumed his tent. The incident was over in a few sicouds and added bnt little to the excitement then existing, but it | was cause for jeeiing laughter among the Democrats who witnessed it. The eagle and mace of the Sergeant-at-Arms were hurried down to tho scene of the conllict, and at lt3 appearance all was quiet. Representative Wilson said afterwards in explanation of the difficulty, that Mr. Beckwith had applied a most offensive epithet to him, and on the spur of the moment he had struck him, Fi.ndt.at, O , Ai:g. a- — Gears'- M S'lu- New Youk.
