obtained
An rrpounrED QUORUM
Ia both Houses. not only Of members who wers
declared elected hy the Returning Board, but also
of tht.o who received popular najortIcs on the
lace Of tho partsh returns. This was considered
bJ tho rreaIdent and bis Cabinet a. removing tbs
ass obstacle 10 the apeedy withdrawal OF the troops.
especially since the AssufAntca kiren IT. Dor.

and
no DISTURBANCE Is K1rEcrhD

The settlement. In regard 10 this matter they will
be left TO act entirely In accordance with their own
Judgment. no Instructions on tbia point having
been sent 10 them By the Tfcsldent.
