"A QUORUM OF THE HOUSE.
speaker Reeds Explanation Of HE Decis-
ion on That Subject.

Speaker Reeds Explanation Of HE Decis-
ion on That Subject.
On the last day of the session Speaker Reed
caused to be printed in the Record q statement
IN explanation of his decision in the first session
regarding the number Of members necessary to
q quorum Of the House. He says:
On the 18th Of last September the Speaker
made decision with regard to the number
then necessary for a quorum. which he desires
to comment upon. Prior to 1861 il had always
been held that quorum consisted Of major
ity of all the possible members of the House.
After the rebellion had caused large number
of constituencies to refuse to elect, il was held
DULY 10, 1861, that a quorum consisted Of a
majority of those chosen" This last decision
seemed Tor the moment to the chair to be
ambiguous. 1t was susceptible Of two mean
ings, as the chair then thought. first, of men,
bers originally chosen, and second. of members
chosen then alive. II the first meaning was 10
be taken, l66 was quorum: if the latter. l64.
lhere was some excitement at the time and
the clerks were unable to find the precedents.
and the chair DESTROYS that the action of the
House should be entirely safe. declined to hold
that l64 was quorum. Some DAYS later the
precedents were found and il will be evident
that the latter meaning. namely, members
accordance with the precedent of 1861. l64 was
the true quorum. Such was the decision made
by the Senate, Reverdy johnson voting in the
affirmative, in 1861; and late as March "A,
1856, that body, on the death of Senator Miller
OF California, had its quorum reduced to IS. as
VIII be seen by the journal of that date. In the
september decision the chair referred TO the
opinion of Mr.. Randall, Of which he had a
strong impression. and as he has been able to
lind 1t. will cite it il will be found in the
Record of February Is, 1879:
Ihe chair desires TO state in this connection
that with his vote there are 147 members yot-
ing, making quorum of full House. But in
his own mind he does not think that under the
presen: circumstance l47 votes are required
for quorum, as there are two vacancies.
Ihis was not a decision. 1t was an opinion.
As upon reflection the present Speaker does
not desire to be cited as opposed to the opinion
under which the most important legislation of
the country was passed during critical years.
he takes the liberty to add this comment. He
does not regret having made the decision with
the light he then had, and only makes this state
ment to comply with the promise of further in
yestigatlon then made.

THE GALILEAN FISHERMEN.

Stand Without Grand Ruler Hall.

Israel Grand Tabernacle of the District Can
Stand Without Grand Ruler Hall.
Thomas 1. Hall of Baltimore may be grand
ruler OF the Order of Galilean Fishermen. but
there are a few fishermen in the District of Co.
lumbia Ito say nothing of the fisherwomen)
who regard Mr.. Hall as naughty tyrant and
unfit for exalted position. On the other
hand, Mr.. Hall is of opinion that Israel
Grand Tabernacle of the District of Co.
lumbia il q cOntumacious something which
should no longer exists therefore by virtue
Of the power in him vested. he, the
said Thomas l. Hall. has suspended Israel
Grand Tabernacle and has cut it off from all
official communication with all other taber-
nacles.
The facts gathered by a STAR reporter
seem to indicate that Israel held a meeting in
November last and discussed thereat sundry
shortcomings of Mr.. Halls. As grand ruler
that gentleman is alleged to have borrowed
from Israel sundry materials used when the
grand tabernacle is in session and when Israel
wanted its decorations returned Mr.. Hall told
them to go to Jamaica for them. Explanations
revealed the fact that Mr.. Hall had shipped the
goods to Kingston, where two tabernacles
flourish under British rule. Mr.. Hall did some
other things not in accord with the ideas Of
those who are prominent in Israel, and as some
Of the remarks made savored slightly of the
personal Mr.. Hall suspended the whole outfit,
without due authority.
Suspension would be a serious thing for most
organizations, but it does not disturb the Cali
lean Fishermen to any marked extent. The
order, which is beneficial in its nature, came
into existence about 1869 and so far as its local
branches were concerned, ran along all right
up to 1885, when they consolidated with the
National Supreme Grand Tabernacle There
are twenty-three subordinate tabernacles in
the District, with a membership of about 800
Thirteen Of these subordinate divisions stand
solidly by Israel in its trouble. The others have
already been reorganized into Union Grand
Tabernacle, No. 2, by Mr.. Hall.
The members Of Israel say they got
along splendidly previous to 1885, and they can
get along just well now. II Mr.. Hall doesn I
want them within his jurisdiction they pro-
pose to move ahead without him. They NAV
combine with number Of suspended taber-
nacles in Richmond and organize in opposition
to Mr.. Hall, but they are certain of their abil-
ity to stand alone. 1t is generally believed
among Israers membership that the created ia
no larger than the creator and this is going to
be discussed on Thursday evening. Grand
Ruler Edward Stewart and Grand Scribe Mrs.
Z. j. Webster have signed the call for a meet
ing, which is to be held at 346 Pennsylvania
avenue.

The lie Droit Fence Case,

In the Equity Court Judge Bradley, this
morning, the lie Droit fence case-Fairman
agt. Douglass ct al. District Commissioners,
Best, Sweet, Johns. ct al.-was taken up. This
case comes under the rule to show cause why
the defendants should not be restrained from
interfering with the restoration of the fence at
the extremity of Linden street in lie Droit
Park under the bill fled about two weeks ago
by Mr.. A. S. Worthington. The defendants to-
day filed answer, the District by Mr.. Hazleton and
the Others by Gen. Birney and ID. W. Classic.
These deny that Barber reserved any rights as
to the maintenance of a fence around the park.
and assert that all the maps look to streets
being opened straight through. and the placing
of a fence was an after consideration. and cite
the case of Fleetwood. who sued for damages
by reason of the fence and subsequently, com
promised with the owners. The case will be
on some days.

Modest Studio Models.
From the Illustrated American.

from the Illustrated American.
One Of the foremost women artists of New
York is emphatic in insisting that majority of
the studio models are modest, clever women.
She says the ordinary price paid is 81 a morning
or s31S cents an hour, posing thirty and resting
fifteen minutes. 1t is tremendously trying
work, necessitating considerable training to
make subject available for an artists pur-
poses. Prettiness OF form and feature are
strong recommendations to favor, but
women Of heroic mold, with char
acteristic and marked faces. are
priced above beauties, and are often able to
command very high rates. As an instance of
the possibility OF the profession she told of two
little Italian boys, brothers, who supported a
family Of nine members solely with money
earned In this way. They are charmiugly hand
some chaps with lustrous. southern eyes They
sit for pictures Of fruit venders, acolytes and
boy princes. So easily and surely do the Young
foreigners make living that both parents have
resigned labor and with ave other children
subsist upon the studio profits Of their two
eldest sons.

arrangements with the Austrian government
for the use of his electric tabulating machines

made arrangements to manufacture Q number
Of these machines when they were notified by
Mr.. Hollcrith that his right TO the machine was
protected by Austrian patents They have
therefore made contract with Mr.. Hoilerith
for . number Of the machines, which will be
made in this country and shipped TO Austria
in the course Of . few months.
