THE NEW HOUSE RULES.
Both Committee Reports Ordered to BE

WASHINGTON. February s.-Though not
formally presented in the House the ma
jority and minority reports upon the new
code of rules proposed have been filed
with the Journal clerk and ordered printed.
The majority report in great detail ex-
plains the difference between the proposed
code and that previously IN force. but in
most instances the explanation Is unaccom-
panied by any argument.
In regard to the rule authorizing the
Speaker 10 count a quorum majority the
report says; CLAUSE of Rule XIV. d.
reefs the method of ascertaining q
Quorum when the members present refuse
to vote on roll-call. The process Of ascer-
tanning the presence of quorum to do
business under the Constitution would
ordinarily be under the control of the
Speaker. who would derive his information
from his own senses, or by the aid of the
Clerk, or in any way which would satisfy
his mind OF the accuracy of the count.
Under our system of roll-call II has been
deemed more convenient 10 ascertain and
announce the votes Of the members and
the presence Of those who refuse TO vote at
the same time and by the same MEANS"
Discussing the new clause TO Rule 26,
that no dilatory motions shall be enter
tanned by the Speaker" the report says:
This clause is merely declaratory of par
uamentary law. There are no words which
can be framed which will limit the men,
beers 70 the proper use of the proper mo-
tions. Any motion must be conducive to
progress in public business or most salu-
tAry for the comfort aud convenience of
the members. and may be used for the
purposes OF unjust and oppressive delay.
The majority may be kept in session for q
long time against reason and good sense,
sometimes at the humor of single men,
Der, and sometimes for still longer period
ct the will of one fifth. who are misusing
provision OF the Constitution for the yeas
and nays. and by the aid Of simple mo-
tions. proper in themselves but which

How strange to bear the sweet, sweet notes

With undisguised delight
And where the midest zephyrs blow,
The fragile daisies bloom,
And purple violeis, bending low
Are heavy with perfume;
And as We know these golden hours
Come now In Winters train,
We surely think the Vernsl powers
Usurped old Winters reign.
We do not know we cannot tell!

what is thesimplest and most available
treatment for bronchitis. sIfpposing the
patient to be where medical aid cannot be
quickly secured?"
" Well. we will suppose mild case--that
il. an ordinary case. Little treatment is
necessary. beyond giving a mixture of
muriate of ammonia, q little bromine and
syrup of ginger. These should be admin
istered every two hours in small doses. A
tonic, such as elixir Of iron, wine and
auinine should also be given. The chest
should be rubbed with alcohol and turpen-
tine, and a mustard plaster or blister
used If there Is pain. The patient must be
kept quiet in the house. The diet should
be mild and not full while the trouble re-
mains.
Il would vary the treatment in severe
cases. beginning with mustard-pl or
blister and rubbing the chest, as have al
ready suggested. Should there be fever,
give either anti-pyrene in small doses-say.
i've grains every four hours--or FIVE grains
of quinine every four hours. If the patient
is weak, a milk-punch may be given twice
day. Some nourishing soup can be given
every two hours.

A New Butter Substitute.

According to the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal. NJ. Heckel and Schlag-
denhaufer have discovered and reported
upon a certain Spanish broom-like bush,
native of the West Coast of Africa, which
belongs to the Polygala family, and to
which they have given the specific name
of butyracea. The native name of the
bush is Malonkang or Ankalaki. It's seeds
yield l7.5 per cent. of yellowish butter
like fat of very agreeable nutty flavor,
and could well serve as substitute for but
ter. The fat softens between 80 and 800
c., beginning to melt at $50, but does not
become fluid below 520. Upon cooling,
it remains fluid for long time, only be-
ginning to solidify at $50, when it regains
its original consistency. Its density at be-
tween So and $50 c. is 0.904. 1t sapon-
ifes very easily with alkalies, and contains
2l.5 per cent. olein, AS per cent free
palmitic acid, 5754 per cent. palmitin and
GIG per cent. myristin. 1t contains small
quantities of formic and acetic acids, but
no butyric or yalerianic acid, and there
fore it does not easily become rancid.

SETTLERS, RELIEF BILL.

Provision for Taking Final Proof in Cases
of Vacancies in the Land Office.
WASHINGTON, October 1st.-The bill for
the relief of certain settlers on public lands,
and authorizing the taking and filing of
final proofs in certain cases, has passed the
House. 1t provides that the cases now be-
fore any land Office of the United States, in
which there has been or is nov vacancy
in either of the offices of Register or Re-
ceiver, where the day set for q hearing
of final proofs came up during the
vacancy in said Office, and there is
no contest or protest against such claims,
and where the remaining officer has taken
said proofs and reduced the same to writ
ing the same may now be passed upon by
the Register and Receiver as if they had
been taken when there was no vacancy.
Hereafter when vacancy occurs in any
Land Office, for any reason whatsoever, if
the time of taking final proofs falls within
the vacancy thus caused, the remaining
officer may proceed to take said final
proofs in the absence of any contest or pro.
test, and reduce. the same to writing and
place it on file, to be considered and passed
upon when the vacancy is filled.

IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE.
Opening Proceedings of the international
E0npress

opening proceedings oil the International
Congress.
New YORK, October 1st.-To-day the
first session of the Iron and Steel Institute
was opened at Chickering Hall. Sir James
kitson, President of the British Associa-
ton, opened the meeting. He said a few
words of generalization to members of his
Society upon having an opportunity to see
the resources Of the country. Carnegie
then delivered an address of welcome,
Kitson responded. SIT is indeed an honor
to u.s. he said, ito be welcomed here by
Mr.. Carnegie who is the largest manufact-
urer of iron and steel in the world. The
remarkable reception we have been given
here since we landed justi6es US in believ-
ing that we are welcomed as well by a vast
number Qtnthe people of the United States. p"
Sir James then went into q history of the
Iron and Steel Institute.
James Gayley, of Bessemer, Pa, then
read a paper on THE Development of
American Blast Furnaces, with Special
Reference to Large Yields Gayley
thought the day was not far distant when
this country would be able to show record
of 500, 900 tons from the furnace in three
years on single lining.
Sir Lowthian Bell, commenting on Gay
ley's paper, said two weeks ago, when he
heard blast furnace had turned out $500
tons Of pig-iron per week, he did not be-
lieye 1t, but now such facts and figures were
put before him that he is fully convinced
of this marvellous accomplishment.
Sir Frederick Abel, of Woolwich, Eng,
was unanimously elected President of the
Association for two years.
The session then adjourned to take trip
up the Hudson river.

No Lives Lost, and but Little Damage
Reported
New York, October 1st-The steamship
Majestic of the White Star line and the
DANA of the Hsmburg-American Com
pany, were in collision to- day as both YES
sells were outward bound. The accident
occurred below the quarantine station.
The pilot of the Majestic discovered that
the tide was swinging her bow over to-
ward shallow water. To prevent her run
ming aground, she was sent ahead at full
speed for the purpose of getting ahead of
the Dania, to hold the course in the chan
mel. The Majestic, being so much larger
than the DANA, the latter vessel was
driven by the suction over against her.
Two ofthe Majestic ifeboats were carried
away and three of the Dana's. The lat
ter's bridge and captains deck house were
also damaged. After examination both
vessels proceeded.
