WASHINGTON. Feb. l0.-The journal
OF Thursdays proceedings were read and
approved; yeas 100. nays Is, the
speaker counting a quorum.
The conference report on the bill ap-
~priating SIS, 900 for the removal of snags
from the Missouri river and II 5000 for
the improvement OF the Columbia river
was agreed to.
The committee on rules reported back
the new code of rules and the house pro-
ceeded to consider it.
Cannon explained the provisions of the
code. He criticized the rules that prevl-
ously governed the house. In the last
congress, he said, the business of the peo-
pie had been piled up on the calendars,
and not one fifth of the business had been
considered by the house. Almost as
much time had been gwen to the obstruc-
ton of the minority as TO the considera-
ton of the business of GO, 900 people.
He defended the proposed change pro-
hibiting the speaker from entertaining
dilatory motions. Hesdenied that the
proposed rule was tyranpical, but ii it was,
then 1t was tyranny sustained by the ma
iority of the house. Discussing tie rule
permitting the speaker to count a quorum
he said. If the Democrats wanted to go to
the country and against the principle con-
famed in the rule the Republicans were
ready to meet them and let the people
choose.
Cannon then proceeded to review other
changes in the code, maintaining their
correctness and arguing their effect would
be to facilitate the transaction of the
business of the people.
Mills to day said the proposed code
would reverse legislative action and run
back upon the track upon which the gov
N had been running forward for a
century. 1t was founded upon the propo
sition that the minority had no rights.
The great object of the government, as
proclaimed by the Declaration of indie
pendence, was to secure inalienable rights
to the citizen and the minority had asked
for rules, but for rules which, while pro-
viding for the procedure of business,
would preserve and protect the rights of
the minority.
Bayne of Pennsylvania justified the
committee on rules in the business of the
proposed code, arguing it would facilitate
the transaction of business and prevent
the minority from multiplying the will of
the majority Of the representatives of the
people.
Blount OF Georgia made an argument
in opposition to the proposed rules, dwell
ling with especial antagonism upon the
clause making 100 members a quorum in
committee of the whole. Pending discus
sion the house adjourned.

Tratn ON the Northern Pacific.
e.. PAUL, MIMI, June S.-The Northern
Pacific east-bound passenger train when
arrived here tonight was robbed ~
masked men near New Salem, N. D., lost
night. Two miles east of New Salem ana
25 miles west OF Mandan, the engineer ana
fireman were surprised by two MASKED
and armed men climbing over the tender
and ordering the train stopped. The SUM
mons was opeyed. Express Messenger
hpgeyine, hearing shots fired forward and
suspectinR something, hid 5000 In money
from the safe, locked the safe, Looked the
small safe and put out the lights and ran
back to New Salem.
The mail car WIS first tackled by the
robbers. 0nly one mail agent was In the
car, and he Immediately obeyed orders by
turning over the mail matter. A number
OF registere letters were rifled, and then
| the two robbers turned their attention to
the expross Cur. This they found deserted,
much to their cbagrin, and mistaktng the
| fireman for the express messenger, they
ordered him at the point Of pistols TO open
| the safes. He protested that he knew
/ nothing about II, and finally satisfied the
/ robbers Then the train backed 70 New
| Salem, and finally came on east. The ex-
| press messenger remained inoognito and
| goi on the train as 1t left New Salem.
4 The passengers were not touched. one
put his head out OF the window during the
delay, but was told to get his head back
and bullet whizzsd past as reminder
that orders had better be obeyed. A posse
OF nen, with the sheriff, mounted and
armed, left Mandan early this morning on
special train for the scene OF the daring
robbery. The robbers compelled Engineer
Rtlmartin TO break In the door OF the
postal car. Only four masked men were
seen at any one time, and suspicious art
rife that only TWO were engaged In the
, work.

was seated. Men and women drew In
their feet neryously to avoid being struck
by the heavy missile. Nobody said any

more reckless in their horse play. At last

4 son OF this city, own tie largest ore

Balbaeh establishment has branch depot
in sabinaa, Mexico. for the purpose Of
m,nirg, buying and shipping the ore OF
that locality, which, while not as rich In
silver as some We .ern ores, is fluxing

reflne from $40, 900 900 to $4,000 tOJ worth
