No Settlements Yet Of the $4,000, 900
Claim Against the Ex-President.
NEW YORK, Nov Is The board Of di-
rectors Of the Standard Gaslight company
met in secret session to consider the case
of the former president of the company,
Wallace g. Andrews, who is charged with
having nisappropriated s, 200, 600 worth Of
the common stock OF the company Re
peated efforts had been made 10 induce
Mr.. Andrews to return at least 10000
Of the stock which he is charged with hav-
ing illegally obtained, but at the meeting
OF the board held last evening the commit
tee reported that it had accomplished moth
ing in the way Of an agreement with Mr..
Andrews
As there was still hope OF arriving at
some satisfactory arrangement, the com
mittee asked further time The meeting
accordingly adjourned until next Monday,
when another report VIII pe maue.
Mr.. Andrews has refused thus far to re
turn the S200O,0O0 of common stock, bul
he has offered TO return stock amounting
to 81, 100000. This offer will not be ac
cepted by the directors nor by the repre-.
sentatives Of the Spinola and Monheimer
estates, which have also bsen required ia
return about $1,000, 900 Of common stock
given to General Spinola and Mr.. Mon.

meeting it was hinted that possibly Mr.
Andrews wonld return 81, ,750,0OO of stock
but the directors said that even If such an
offer should be made it would not be ac
cepted. The directors think that Mr. An
drews would get off very easily if he should
settle for s9,0O0, 900, aud they are appar
emily determined to exact the full amount
of their claim.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2s.-All the candi-
dates for the speakership Of the house of
representatives are busy and confident OF
success ''Claim everything and claim it
boldly is apparently the motto Of all of
them. Talk with Mr. Mills partisans and
you will be told that his vote may exceed
even 90 on the first ballot, and that he will
win in a canter.
When you repeat these optimistic gen
eralities at the Crisp headquarters they
are greeted with long sort OF defiance.
The Crisp men are firmly convinced that
Mr.. Crisp is a winner. They will not ad.
NIT that there is any probability Of his
defeat, except in the event that the other
candidates combine against him.
There is an air Of serene contentment
about Mr.. Springer's headquarters Mr..
Springer is the Mark Tapley Of American
politics He is genial under all circum.
stances A delegation Of prominent Hli-
noisans will start for Washington this
evening TO labor until the caucus is held
in his behalf
Mr.. Springer is developing more strength
than his opponents have thus far accorded
him.
The scarcity Of representatives makes it
impossible, of course, TO predict what the
relative strength of any candidate will be,
and it is doubtful il IS per cent of the
number have as yet committed themselves.
IL has been believed that Mills and Crisp
would between them divide the New Eng.
land vote. Mr.. Springer's New England
friends say that Springer will have 4, ifnot
6, of the IA votes from New England. Mr..
Springer also believes that he will secure a
considerable vote in the northwest and
southwest.
Mr.. Crisp will have the seven votes of
the Maryland delegation, and his friends
claim the practically solid support of Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina, Ala
bama and Mississippi for him, as well as
the major part of the New England and
New York delegations Henry George, who
is here, is an outspoken supporter Of Mr..
Mills.

rAe REED QUORUM cAsg.
One OF the Ex-Speaker's Rulings Before
the United States supreme Court

One OF the Ex-Spenker's Rulings Before
the United States supreme Court.
WAsHINGroN, Nov. 2S-A brief has been
filed for the government in the supreme
court of the United States by Solicitor
General Taft in the case OF the United
States, appellant, versus Ballin, Joseph s.
Co, known as the quorum case, brought
to test the legality Of Speaker Reeds
methods In counting a quorum. The case
comes to the supreme court on an appeal
from the United States circuit court for
the southern district OF New York, which
gave Judgment against the government.
Ballin, Joseph q Co. are importers. They
complain that the collector at New York
collected as duty upon sixteen cases Of
worsted cloths imported by them more
money than the law permitted; that the
act Of May S. 1890, never acquired the va
lidity of a law because there was not a
constitutional quorum to do business in
the house Of representatives when the bill
is said to have passed that body.
They also set up other matter as a de-
fense In his brief Solicitor General Taft
gives the position Of the government as
follows;
"The presence Of a majority Of the mem
bers Of either house constitutes quorum
to do business, though they do not vote.
This is shown, first, by the cvntext Of the
constitution providing, in effect, that a
quorum 60 do business may be obtained
by compelling the presence of absent
members; second, by the history Of the
clause in the constitutional convention,
and, third, by the common law meaning
of the term quorum
Each house by virtue Of It's constitu-
tional power to determine the rule OF its
proceedings may ascertain the presence of
quorum by any means OF agency IL
chooses TO select, and after such ascer-
tainment the house, by virtue of its power
to keep Journal Of its proceedings, may,
as it did here>R AXE the journal show the
truth and Thereby conclusively establish
the fact Of the presence Of a quorum. The
| bill received the affirmative vote Of a ma.
iority of the quorum and finally passed. u
In submitting the brief to the court Mr..
| Taft stated that the Judgment OF the cir
cult court should be reversed aud that the
action Of the board Of general appraisers
and the collector should be affirmed.

The court issued orders requiring Super.

A Crisis Reached In the Alleged strife
Between Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov 2S-The published
report that charges had been preferred
against Civil Service Commissioner Ruose
welt in a report lodged with the president
which might lead to his retirement, cannot
be verified. IL Ia believed at the post0liice
department, however, that an investiga-
tiOn has been made under the direction OF
Postmaster General Wanamaker into Mr..
Roosevelts investigation last spring OF
the anti-civil service political methods in
vogue in the Baltimore postotlice, and
there is also "A general understanding that
he will forward a report thereon TO the
president, and with it an autograph re
quest that the strife between himself and
Mr. Roosevelt receive reasonable share Of
presidential attention.
Commissioner Roosevelt is not in the
city. His colleagues on the commission
have nothing TO say about the rumors, al
leging that Mr.. Roosevelt would be more
than equal TO the task OF minding his own
business. Friends Of the absent commits
/ sioner say that nothing would be more "a
l his taste than an open encounter with Mr.
| Wanamaker They say he has refraine,
from inaugurating any such strife, bu
they are sure that he will assume the ag
/ gressive If the postmaster general gives
him an opportunity 70 do So
At the civil service commission rooms il
IS said Mr.. Roosevelt went so Baltimore Ia
March to investigate charges which al
legged that federal employees were violat
| ing the law. The testimony taken con.
tains the admissions OF postofflce employees
that they participated in n primary
election (which is prohibited by postal reg
ulations) and that they collected money
for political purposes (Which is contrary
to law) The postmaster took no steps to
prevent or punish these violations, and for
this he was censured in a report made by
Commissioner Roosevelt.
