WARFARE IN THE HOUSE.
Another Lively Wrangle Over
the Speakers Action.
pANDEMONIuMREIeNEDsUPREME

Speaker Reed Again Counted the Demo
crats Who Refused to Vote. aud His
Decision Was Sustained by the House
After Very Warm Contest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3i.-The battle in the
house over Speaker Reeds count Of the
quorum was resumed with bitter spirit when
the journal was read and the clerk omitted
the names Of those not voting on the ques-
ton Of consideration Wednesday. The
names were ordered recorded. Mr. Nc
Kinley moved that the journal be approved
and demanded the previous question. Mr..
Blanchard OF Louisiana, calling at the top
Of his voice, so as to be heard above the
hubbub that began, said he rose TO ques-
ton Of privilege. The speaker refused to
recognize him and put the question on the
approval OF the journal, amid shouts Of dis
approval from the Democrats. Mr.. Springer,
of Illinois, one Of the Democratic leaders,
managed to make himself heard before the
| speaker made his decision ON the vote. He
said that he moved that the house adjourn
before MIR. McKinleys motion was put, and
the speaker was obliged to put the question
of adjournment to the house. Mr.. Bland
calling, "Mr. Speaker, Mr.. Speaker" in
stentorian tones, demanded recognition. A
dozen other Democrats were shouting for
the snme privilege.
Bland Shakes His Fist.
Finding that he was not recognized, Mr..
Bland cried out that he wished TO make a
correction in the journal, a right that every
representative had. The speakers further
refusal 20 recognize Mr.. Bland called forth
shouts loud and long from the Democrats
and. Mr.. Bland, shaking his fist in the di-
reetion of the speakers desk, made some
unintelligible remarks at the top of his
voice that were clearly uncomplimentary
to Mr.. Reed. 1t is understood that what
Mr.. Bland said was: "You are the meanesi
tyrant that ever presided over a Legislative
body, and denouneen---
Reed Declares a Quorum Present.
After the confusion had become less in
tense the speaker put Mr. Springer's mo-
tion for adjournment Mr.. Mckinley de
maded the yeas and nays, and they wer,
ordered. The roll call disclosed a stricl
party vote, and the motion was defeated by
100 nays against l42 yeas. Mr. Mckinley
demanded the previous question on the ap
proval Of the journal, and the yeas and
nays were ordered on demand Of Mr.. Car
isle.
When the roll call was finished it was evi
dent that a quorum had not voted. ph'
speaker then followed his proceeding o
I Wednesday by reading list Of names o
Democrats present who had not voted, ant
declared that quorum was in the hous
and that the previous question was sus
tanned. Jeers and groans came from I'll

THE FRAuDULENr CENSUS.

The census is worse than a farce-it is
fraud. Ii is doubtful if a fair count was
made in any town OF this western district
of Washington. The result in Seattle
speaks for Itself. Here the enumeration
was shamefully deficient. The evidence of
hundreds, now coming in. is not neces-
sary to demonstrate that the total is at
least one-fourth short of the number of
actual residents. In few other places the
count has been deficient, but in many
more it has been prodigiously inflated to
answer the demands of town boomers.
The Posr-IsTELLIGENcEE has positive evil
dence that this charge is true.
Under the circumstances it is only rea-
sonable and fair that there should be
general recount of the district, this time
under such supervision as will render
fraud impossible. Such recount cannot
fail to demonstrate that from many places
the returns have been swollen by methods
of unblushing fraud the Posr-INTELLI-
GENcER will be glad to put any authorized
agent of the government in the way of get
ting proofs of this charge.

nor shall the transportation OF commerce

The above is the form of the amendment
made by the judiciary committee OF the
original package" decision of the supreme
court, and in this more comprehensive
shape it is considered quite safe to pass.
But even after that, according to the
State Register it is held by an able Iowa at
torney that the trouble with the prohibit
ended. The court, in that famous decision,
held that the prohibitory law, having been
passed in the absence OF congressional per-
mission, lis mere nullity, as much so as
if it had never been passed"
Then comes the question. will permits

preme Court has annulled state law. have
the effect of restoring and reviving that
law? Otherwise it will be necessary for
Iowa, Maine, Kansas and the Dakotas to
go through the apparently absurd process
of re-enacting laws that are already on
their statute books. Or would it be COM
petent for congress, in order to avoid the
agitation which this would occasion, to an

Court decision in respect to State laws now

seemed to us that each individual should pay

The Madison street cable road has been
accepted by the company and was yester-
day turned over to it by the contractor, Mr..
j. NJ. Thompson. This is the third cable
road built in Seattle by Mr.. Thompson, and
Like the two former it entirely answers the
specifications of the contract. 1t may be
remembered that when Mr.. Thompson first
came to Seattle this journal opposed his ap-
plications to the city council for franchises.
We did not believe he would be able to
accomplish all he proposed and did not
scruple to say as much in very plain terms.
The event has shown that we were wrong,
and we now take pleasure in giving Mr..
Thompson full credit for the really great
service he has done the city. He has given
us better system of local transportation
than can be found in any city of equal size
in the United States, and has, in so doing,
made available and brought into value large
bodies of land heretofore TOO remote for
occupancy. Seattle would be ungrateful if
she did not give credit where the perform
ance has been so vast and so beneficial in
its consequences.

The location of the site OF the Worlds Fair
having been settled upon after much wrangling
and ill-feeling, there seems prospect that the
selfish penuriousness OF the Illinois Central
Railroad Company. which will be the largest
beneficiary OF the exposition, may lead to an
other hitch To make the site available it will
be necessary to fill in the lake TO the extent OF
go acres. OF this filling IFS acres would in
fairness devolve upon the railroad company.
But they have discovered that this would cost
about 81 $780, 600 and object to it too expensive
The trouble is that they hold the whip hand.
