“'orking on the Tariff.
Washington, March 30,—When the
house met at 10 o’clock today the op-
position to the tariff bill resumed a
policy of delay. The leaders on both
sides were in their places, but there
were not over 50 members on the floor.
The Democrats, after a hurried consu1<
tation, decided that the majority must
assume the responsibility for all pro-
ceedings and furnish-a quorum. A let—
ter had been sent to all the majority
members by the chairman of the Re-
publican caucus, Mr. Grosvenor, im-
pressing upon them the importance of
being present but it had evidently fail—
ed to have its desired effect. In pur-
suance of the plan decided upon, Mr..
-Richardson (Dem., Tenn.) objected to
the approval of the journal in the ab-
sence of a quorum. The house was at
a. standstill. No motion being forth—
coming from the majority side, Mr.
Richardson moved a recess for one
,hour.
“The gentleman is aware that that
motion is not in order in the absence of
a. quorum,” observed the speaker, dry-
ly. “The chair suggests that a motion
to adjourn would be in order.”.
“In accordance with the suggestion
of the chair,” said Mr. Richardson,
smiling as he seized on the words of
the speaker, “I move an adjournment.”
“But the chair did not suggest a mo-
tion'to adjourn,” returned the speaker
. very promptly. “He simply suggested
a. motion that would be in order. Does
the gentleman from Tennessee desire
to make that motion?” he inquired
blandly.
Richardson \Vitlidraws.
This placed the Tennessee man on
the defensive, and he replied he had no
desire to take charge.
“Let the other side work
puzzle,” said he.
“There is no puzzle.” remarked the
speaker, “except the indolence Of mem—
bers.”
“We have as many present on this
side as the majority has,” observed
Mr. Richardson.
At this point Mr. Dingley came for—
ward and moved the approval of the
journal.
The house rapidly filled while the
vote was being taken, but the an—
nouncement of the vote, 161 to 2, showed
16 less than a qu01um. Mr. Richard-
son suggested that the oath be admin-
istered to his colleagues Messrs. Jones
(Dem., Va.) and Klebcrg (Dem., TeX.)
Who were present and who had not yet
been sworn in. “The house is sadly in
need of a quorum.” said he.
The speaker replied that the rules of
the house required a call of the house,
but the members could be sworn in by
unanimous consent. There was no ob-
jection. and the oath was administered,
after which under the rules there was
a call of the house. This roll call re-
sulted 9"” to- 1, and 9 present, but not
-mnd
out its own
voting.
The speaker after announcing the
result gently reproved the members.
He called attention to the fact that an
hour and twelve minutes had been
.wasted and requested all members to
be present hereafter, if not inconsist-
ent with their private business. The
house then went into committee of the
whole and resumed the consideration
Of the tariff bill.
Committee Aincndm'cnts.
Mr. Dingley announced that the ways
and means committee had several
amendments to offer. The first in-
creased the rate on gelatin or glue pre-
pared fish bladders valued at not above
10 cents per pound from 2 to 21/2 cents.
The second placed a. duty of $1 per ton
on bauxide not refined.
In answer to a question by Mr.
Wheeler (Dem., Ala.), Mr. Grosvenor
replied that a strong appeal had come
up from Georgia and Alabama for pro-
.tection to this article. There were vast
deposits in those two states, sufficient
to supply the world. It was the article
from which alum, alumina and alu-
minium was made. Bauxide was now
imported from France. This protection
was designed to equalize conditions. It
was a product of the south that! could
be made exceedingly valuable. Mr.
Grosvenor had walked over to the
Democratic side while he was talking.
There was a sensational scene when
Mr. Johnson (1nd.) protested against
taking the time of the house in irrele-
vant discussion. He was ordered to
take his seat and refused, but finally
did- so, as the chairman of the commit-
tee of the whole, Mr. Sherman, was
about to summon the speaker. A sec-
ond time he rose, and the speaker was
actually called in to subdue Mr. John~
son. The incident ended with Mr. Reed’s
arrival.
‘ The Grant BIemm-ial.
Washington, March 30.——The secretary
of state has sent the following identical
note to all maritime powers, about 30 or
35 in number: “The Grant municipal in-
augural . committee has requested the
president to officially invite the mari-
" time nations to send warships to partic-
yipate in the ceremony on April 27 next,

Hoar.After the “Pugs.”
Washington, March 30.—Senator Hoar,
from the judiciary committee, today re-
ported favorably the bill to prevent the
use of kinetoscope exhibitions of prize-
fights in the District of Columbia or the
territories. It also prohibits mailing of
prizefight pictures or their receipt from
common carriers. Heavy penalties are
provided.
The senate adopted a resolution mak—
ing $250,000 immediately available for
the improvement of the Mississippi riv—
er from the head of the passes to the
mouth of the Ohio iiver.
BIMETALLIO COMMISSIONERS.
To Be Appointed, It Is Said, as Extraor-
dinary Diplomatic Agents.
London, March 30.-—The April issue
of The National Review contains a
statement that it has received private
information from Washington that
President McKinley intends to appoint
bimetallic commissioners as extraor- ~
dinary diplomatic agents in order to be
able to officially negotiate with the
heads of governments. The National
Review adds:
"For obvious reasons President Mc-
Kinley does not care to have this fact
generally known, as he fears the poli-
ticians would clamor for the appoint-
ment of their supporters, and he in-
tends to select at least three and pos-
sibly five men of the highest position.”
Russia’s Gold Reserve.
St. Petcrsburg, March 30.—An official
statement has been issued denying the
allegation that there has been a seri-
ous decrease in the treasury gold re-
serve and the reserves of the state
bank. It is asserted, on the contrary,
that the cash reserve, which on Dec. 16
amounted to 804,000,000 gold rubles
($620, 688,000), now stands at 808,500,000
($623,16 2,000), and this in spite of the fact
that during the interval 5,500,000 rubles
($4,246,000) have been paid out in the
purchase of silver and 5,300,000 ($4,091,-
600) in the rcderzg "n of gold certifi-
cates.

heavilyarmed but offered no resist—
ance. He will be brought to Maysville
for trial. Public sentiment is strong
against Riggs. It will be two months
before a grand jury meets.
It Is Canada’s Business.
London, March 30.~«The Manitoba
school question was raised in the house
of commons today.‘ Mr. \Villiam Johns—
ton, Conservative, asked if the govern-
ment would furnish the house with a.
copy of the Laurier—Greenway compro—
mise, etc. The secretary of state for
the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
replied that the gOVernment had no of—
ficial information on the subject, as it
was purely a Canadian domestic ques-
tion. '
Ryan 15 Villing.
Syracuse, March Bil—“Tommy” Ryan
says in reply to the challenge sent out
by "Kid” McCoy that the “Kic” will
have no difficulty in arranging a match
with him, if he wants one. “If McCoy
will agree to fight weighed in at 154
pounds at the ringside, I will take him
on at any time that he is ready,” said
Ryan. “I can’t afford to give him any
more weight than this however.”
