WASHINGTON, July Sin the house
to-day Immediately after prayer, Mr..
Rogers. of Arkansas, made the point of
order that there was no quorum present.
The speaker counted but 122 members,
and OH motion of Mr.. Mckinley, of
Ohio, a call of the house was ordered.
One hundred and eighty-four members
answered to their names, and the jour-
nal of Yesterdays proceedings was
read. Senate amendments were con-
CURED in to the house bill for the adj
mission of the state of Wyoming. On
motion of Mr.. Cutcheon, of Michi-
gan, senate amendments were con-
Cured in to house bill granting right of
way through the United States military
reservation at St. Augustine, Fla, to
the Jacksonville, st. Augustine d Hall
fax River railroad company, and on mo-
ton of Mr.. Carey, of Wyoming, senate
amendments were concurred in to house
bill for the disposal of abandoned mill
tary reservations in Wyoming. The
speaker having laid before the house
senate bill to adopt regulations for pre-
venting collisions al sea, Mr.. Dingley,
of Maine, asked for its immediate
passage. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, asked
him to withdraw his request, as he had
a report to make from the committee
on rules relative to the ''orlginal pack
age" bill. Mr.. Dingley thereupon asked
that the bill be ordered printed
and remain upon the speakers
table. MIR. Cummings, Of New
York, objected, saying that the
saving of life at sea was more impor-
tant than the passing of a bill for the
benefit of prohibition cranks. The bill
having been read, Mr.. Dingley eX-
planned that it purpose was the adop-
lisions at sea which had been unani-
mously adopted by the international
marine conference. The members OF
the conference were of the opinion that
the code of signals provided in the bill
would prove more effective than any
other that could be devised. After
brief discussion the previous question
was Ordered-yeas SO, nays 81. There
were fOrty-SiX pairs announced upon

and fisheries to report it back

ciary to call up for consideration the
