A Bare Quorum Present and They Man.
age to Dodge Any Important Business.

In the House this afternoon Mr. Lodge
CMass.) moved to suspend the rules and pass a
bill granting four condemned cannon to the
Abraham Lincoln Post of Charlestown, Mass
Lost-54, Sc.
Up to this point. in one respect, the session
Of the House today was somewhat remarkable.
The principal object of the members
present (and they constituted a bare
quorum) seemed to be to kill time
and prevent any measure of general importance
being called up. The bill called up by Mr..
Smith (Ariz. mentioned in the regular report
elsewhere-was discussed for nearly an hour.
though no attention was paid to the debate.
WHY THE HOUSE LAUGHED.
The Lodge bill was the target for many at
tacks. Every member who desired to secure
condemned cannon for an army post in his dis
trict made objection. and a number of short
home consumption speeches were made Mr..
Anderson of Kentucky raised laugh when. in
response to a remark by Mr.. Flower of New
York. he suggested that all the cannon should
be used to aid New York to erect a monument
to Gen. Grant.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Result OF Two Hours Work on IL by
the Senate Finance Committee.

Two hours were spent by the republican
members of the Senate finance committee this
morning in the further consideration of the
tariff bill. The time was devoted to schedule
D-wood and the manufactures
thereof. Progress was slow. consider
able difference of opinion being
shown over the rates Of duty on timber at the
beginning. There was considerable discussion
upon the general question Of the tariff upon
timber, but the attitude OF the several Senators
was not disclosed
One of the members of the committee today
repeated the opinion expressed Saturday that
the bill would be ready for report this week.
None of the schedules have been referred to the
democratic members for their inspection, as
there are too many disputed and unsettled
| items to make them of any value to the minor
ity in preparing their report.
Persons interested in the lead ore paragraphs
express the opinion that the duty fixed in
the House bill will not be disturbed. The tin
plate paragraph. it is understood, has been
passed over without action.
Messrs. Morrill, and Sherman will not be with
| their associates on the committee this after
noon owing to other engagements SO that the
bill will then be in charge of the subcommittee
OF two years ago-Senators Allison, Aldrich,
Hiscock and Jones.

THE CITY POST OFFICE SITE
No Opposition Expected to the Square
Bounded by c, ID, 11th and 18th Streets.

The District post Office site question will in
all probability be settled in the House early
this week. The Senate has already passed the
bill to place the building on the square oppo-
site The STAR Office, on the south side of the
avenue. and this site was
decided upon by a conference COM
mittee between the two committees on
public buildings and grounds it will be ac-
cepted by the House in spite of the passage by
that body OF bill selecting Pennsylvania ave.
nue. and 9Th street as the site. The
House committee have not decided as
yet whether they will ask for a
conference with the Senate or move at once
to concur in the Senate proposition. although
the probability Is that the latter will be done
Mr.. Millken said today that he did not look for
any opposition to the new site from the House.

ARCHITECT MULLETT's CLAIM.
Court of Claims Decides IL Barred by the
Statute of Limitations.

Judge John Davis read the opinion of the
Court of Clsims this morning dismissiug
the claim of Alfred b. Mullett against the
United States for compensation as
architect of the building now occupied
by the State, War and Navy departments,
amounting to about s15O,OOO. During the
period of his superintendent over the con-
struction of the building the plaintiff was in
the employ of the government as the supervis-
ing architect of the Treasury Depart
ment and was requested by the building com
mission to submit plans, which were adopted.
In 1875 he retired from the service of the gov
ernment and an offer was made to him bv the
commission to pay him a salary to continue his
supervision. He rejected this offer and the
building completed unoer the care of an
engineer officer OF the army.
GROUND OF THE DECISION.
The court did not enter into the merits Of
the case at all, confning its attention to the
question Of the operation of the statute of
limitations, which was urged by the govern
ment as a defense. Under ordinary circum-
stances the statute would begin to run
January j. 1875, when the plaintiff ceased TO
be a servant of the government. and this would
bar the case unless some unusual conditionswere
shown to exist. The plaintiff had undertaken
to show that such was the case. claim
ing that under the customs OF the As
sociation OF Architects he could not compute
the amount of his compensation until the COM
pletion of the building, which did not occur
until the year 1883. This would have the effect
of annullIng the limitation. This claim was
based on the rule for an architect to compute
his fee upon the entire charge on the owner of
the building.
COLOGNE CATHEDRAL AND THE WASHINGTON MON
UMEST.
The court, in disallowing this claim, cited
the instance of the cathedral at Cologne, which,
though finished within the last de-
cade. was begun SO long ago that
the name of the architect had been for
gotten, also the of the Washington
monument in this city, which was nearly three
quarters of q century IN course Of erection. In
view of such cases, the court declared, the
theory advanced by the plaintiff would not
hold good The claimant was, during
the period of his supervision, a salaried officer
of the government, under no competition with
other architects and involved in no risks. with
no Office expenses. The court held that the case
was barred by the statute.
