SMALLPOX,

PHILADELPHIA, March ia special
from Bethlehem, Pa, says the small
pox excitement at South Bethlehem
continues unabated, and one hundred
and twenty cases are now reported
in that small town of about 1000
inhabitants. The faculty of
Lehigh University decided this
morning to allow any of the
students to leave who may desire,
until further notice, and the students
are now hurriedly leaving for home.
Many heads of families are arriving
on every train and taking their
daughters from the Bishop Thorpe
( school, which is located on an em-
inence short distance from town.
It is probable that the scare will
close that school also. It is too early
to state definitely the violence of the
disease, although it is known that
several cases of continent small>
pox have been reported. No deaths
as yet. The authorities are talking
about arresting drunken doctor
who visits patients and then travels
around with the same clothing on.
Ten more houses were quarantined
| this forenoon. A number of violent
patients with the continent small
pox. are handcuffed and guarded at
the Home.

Resolved. That any attempt to
exercise such power is breach of
the privileges of the House. and is
hereby expressly condemned, and
will be promptly resisted and othere
wise dealt with as the rights, dignity
and duties of this House may re-
quire.
MIR. Kenna, in offering this reso-
luton, said: 81 am prompted by a
feeling of no characte other than a
disposition to assist the prerogatives
of this House and its membership.
In my judgment, as in the judg-
ment of the House, the propo-
sition asseted by the Speaker,
yesterday, is an untenable one,
and this side of the House,
at least, is desirous of going on the
record, in reputation of it. That is
all / desire to say"
Speaker: The Chair desires to
statethat tits of the opinion that the
gtatieman from West Virginia is
mistaken in regard to all that took
place yesterday as to this matter.
Mr.. Kenna: I think the whole
House is in precisely the same atti-
tude.
The Speaker then explained that
he had used the word 'reprimand"
yesterday, in the sense of calling to
order member who persisted in
proceeding out of order; that he had
in no manner intended to imply his
right or intention to reprimand or
punish a member for past acts :;
that the record this morning did
him injustice in not showing that
the gentleman from Mississippi was
out of order when called to order by
the chair, and concluded as follows
There is nothing in this proposed
resolution that the chair would not
himself subscribe to on the floor, and
vote for if anybody assumed the
duties and powers of the House in
the manner of administering
! reprimand.
Mr.. Kinna: II l had so under
stood the Speaker yesterday, and if
this side had SO understood him,
the resolution perhaps would
not have been presented, and l ask
permission to withdraw it.
Leave was granted, amid applause,
and the matter dropped.
The House then resumed consids
Grafton of the Chinese bill, and was
addressed BY Mr.. Willis, of Ken
lucky, who congratulated the people
of California and the people of the
whole country, that they were at
last to receive substantial, if not en-
tire, relief from the evils of Chinese
| immigratiOn.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. Houk,
of Tennessee, ch airman of the CONS
mittee on war claims, reported back
the bill for the allowance of certain
Tennessee claims reported and al,
lowed by the accounting officer of
the Treasury Department
Mr.. Springer commented on the
fact that, of lis pages of the bill, 78
were devoted to the payment of
claims to citizens of Tennessee.
This was explained by Messrs. Houk
and Mcmillan, by the statement that
more of the property of Union
citizens had been taken for the
United States, in Tennessee, than in
any other State.
Mr.. Updegraff, a member of the
committee, stated that he did not
know what to do with the remark to
this bill. The committee had re-
ceived ten huge bags of claims
which had been adjudicated by
t-easury officials, and it had been a
physical impossibility for members
of the committee to examine them.
1t appropriated 1921, 1000 for the
payment of 1900 claims.
Mr.. Miller, of Pennsylvania, said
that it struck him that Congress
uGht to know what it was doing
when it appropriated S291,000.
Messrs. White, of Kentucky, Hol
man, of Indiana; Atkins, of Tennes
see; and Blount, of Georgia, advocat
ed the passage of the bill, contend
ing that to do otherwise would be
unjust to the claimants, and would
be virtual repeal of the law under
which the claims were authorized tt
be adjudicated,
The bill was passed without
division.
Out of total number of claim:

THE Senate, Monday, by vote of "a to
:. 30 adopted the Lowell bill as substitute
to the ingalls, bankrupt bill, and then by
a vive vOce vote recommitted the bill to
the Judiciary Committee. An analysis
of the vote as given in the Associated
Press dispatches shows that all the East
ern Senator'S, including those from Mary
land, voted for the Lowell substitute;
that all the southern Senators who voted
at all, except Jackson of Tennessee, Jo-
- mas OF Louisiana, and most of the west
: ~ern Senator'S voted against it. Senators
: representing the large commercial and
business interests of the country voted
for 1t. The bill, as amended, was re-
committed, which is regarded by some
: as practical defeat of the measure for
this session. But as Senator Hoar, who
,Offered the substitute, as well as other
friends of the bill as amended. favored
recommitment. and as they say that 1t
