 SANTA FE, January 39.-It developed here to-day that one of the six registered mail pouches rifled by the Albuquerque postoiiice robbers yesterday morning was from this city, containing several valuable letters and one with S4000 of LincOn county expense bonds with cou- pons attached.

 Col. II. Douglas, 10th infantry, who was stricken with paralysis yesterday is very low tonight, and is not expected to live throughout tomorrow. COLUMBUS, O. January 29.-The state is in a deadlock in the contest for lieu tenant-governorship, and seems to be holding in session to wait for absent members.
 WASHINGTON, January 29.-When the clerk had called the names of those present and the speaker had announced | there was quorum, he made state | ment saying that questions of that | nature had been raised in British par | liamentaTy sessions. The question had arisen in the New York state senate on the constitutional necessity Of having | three tifths of the members to constitute a quorum for the passage of q certain bill, and the presiding officer, who is now governor of New York, held that
 the constitution provision as to a | quorum was entirely satisfied by the | presence Of the members; even if they ! did not vote the decision could not be regarded as patisan. A decision of a ] similar nature was rendered by the Ten
 nessee legislature in 1885. He further i said 1t had been almost an every day oc- 1 curence at certain stages of the session
 for votes to be announced by the chair
 containing obviously and emphatically
 no quorum, yet if this point was not
 made the bill was always declared pas
 sed aud that could only have been a very 1 distinct basis that everybody present
 silently agreed to the fact there was a ! quorum present. Again there is | provision in the constitution that de- Il. 4I 1,-l~ n. for compelling the attendance of mem
 bers. If members could be present and l refuse to exercise their functions and
 not be counted a quorum the provision 1 would seem entirely nugatOry. The therefore rules there is a quorum pre- sent under similar circumstances, Crisp appealed from the decision and quoted< from Speaker Blaine's ruling on the force bill to the effect that the speaker had not the power to count the quorum and declared the decision just
 made would be found to be one of the greatest Legislative frauds ever com
 mitted. He quoted from the remarks of ! Reed: "The constitutional idea of 8 quorum Is not physical reference of the
 majority of the members present and participating in business" Crriumph- ant cheers from demOcrats.)
 Carlisle said if the ruling made by l Reed was correct there was TO necessity for any provision in tho constitution to define what less than majority could do. lie denied absolutely that the pre- l siding officer of the house can make the journal: the speaker was simply an or gan cf the house and not its master. Mckinley took the floor but yielded
 to motion to adjourn, which was car
 ried without debate.
 DGs MONIES, January, 29-The house met this morning, took r futile ballots on permanent offices, and then adjourn
