REED RULES LIKE A CzAR.

When the Rules Dont't Suit His Con
venience He Quietly Ignores Them.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. Speaker Reed is
not confined by the new code of rules.
Being lawmaker, he considers himself
quite above the rules, and whenever he is
hampered by them quietly makes a new
ruling which let's him do just what he wants
to do. So to-day he went step beyond
anything he had done before, and counted a
quorum by simply saying: "There are 172
members present, more than a quorum, "
after the tellers had failed to show
a quorum. Messrs. Carlisle, Crisp, McMil-
lin, and Blount showed clearly how wrong
Speaker Reed was, but having the right he
made it all right by saying SO, and the
democrats could only acquiese without
even attempting an appeal from his de-
cision, which he need not have entertained
under the rules, aud SO would probably
have ignored

PARNELL RUBBING IT IN.
The Government to Adopt the Report
Next Monday.


LONDON, Feb. l7.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, Mr.. Parnell asked for infor-
nation as to the governments intentions
regarding the report Of the special Parnell
commission.
William II. Smith, the government
leader, said that the government intended
asking the House TO adopt the report, and
thank the commission for its Just and i'm
partial conduct. Mr. Smiths answer was
greeted with cheers, counter cheers and
la lighter. He also said the government
would ask the House to enter the report on
its Journals (cries of 60" "On). He further
said that he hoped, subject to the progress
OF busines in the House, to make a motion
on Monday next, to carry out the govern
ments intentions.
REPLY TO THE QUEENS SPEECH.
The debate on the address in reply to the
speech from the throne was resumed. Will
lam o 'Brien was the first speaker. He de-
clared that the nationalists had grown
stronger under coercion. During Mr.. Bal
tours term of Office as chief secretary for
ireland 100000 had been subscribed by the
people TO carry out the objects of the league.
The boycott still prevailed everywhere. and

said: II certainly would not let any mAu

Continuing, Mr.. Russell said the charge
he made against the Parnellites was GER
tainly true. Now tho Parnellites embrace

Secretary Balfour had enforced the coercion

press clause in the crimes act was unwise,

ensuing fiscal year will amount, it is esti-
mated, to $3.50, 100000. The revenues are
