The attitude of the Republican minority
in the House for the past few days, in
breaking quorum by refusing to vote on
the roll call for amending the Record, has
been plainly out of proportion to the i'm
pOrtance of the issue. Their attitude on
the surface is that of sustaining Mr.. Morse
in printing in the Record attacks on his
fellow members, which he did not make on
the floor. The Republicans cannot afford
to block the business of the House for such
a petty motive. 1t was formally stated
yesterday that Mr.. Thomas B. Reeds
leadership in this contest was for the pur-
pose of forcing the Democrats to acknowl-
edge the necessity of the rule adopted by
the last Congress for counting a quorum.
This does not better matters very much.
If the Republicans are willing to stop pub
lie business and put themselves in the
wrong for the sake of an abstract parlia-
mentary question of the past, they have a
very poor idea of the duties of public
representatives. ~.
On the other hand the position of the
Democrats is not much better, as regards
another public duty. {. 1t takes 167 men,
bers to make a quorum of the House, and
the Democrats have 235 members of that
body. If three-quarters of the Democrats in
the House attend to their duties they will
have quorum, independently of the Re-
publican vote. The roll calls of Monday

COLLEGE BOYS IN FARCE COMEDY.
University of Pennsyivania Students Scor
Quite a Success


Quite Success.
NEW YORK, April 26.-[SpectaLI I-"Mr. and
Mrs. Cleopatra" was introduced at the
Broadway Theater this afternoon, as q farci-
neutrality-suspicious. hallu-
cination, presented by the Mask and Wig
Club of the University of Pennsylvania. The
nimble-footed college boys, In tights and
dresses, convinced the spectators that dane
ing was popular elective in their college
course. They danced as ballet girls, as &C.
centric old men. as premieres danseuses, and
then they all danced together. Nearly
every dance was encored, and the young
men had a lot OF work to do before the audi
ence permitted them to retire from the
stage.
Frederick Brooke Nelson is willing to
shoulder the responsibility of being the
author of "Mr. and Mrs. Cleopatra" Most
of the music had been lifted from recent
comic operas, and the topical songs wero
filled with local college hits. Several times
in the course Of the performance the big
stage at the Broadway Theater was filed
with college boys in costumes quite as eIab-
crate and picturesque as are usually seen in
comic opera. The opera was cleverly given,
and the nervousness that usually distin-
guishes the amateur from the professional
was noticeably absent.

THE ARREST OF RAvAcHoL
Why the Reckless Anarchists OF Paris
Wrecked M. very's Cafe.

Why the Reckless Anarchists OF Paris
Wrecked M. very's Cafe.
The arrest OF Rayachol, the Anarchist on
trial In Paris, took place on March 30 About
II o'clock NJ. Very, landlord of the wineshop
ut 50 Boulevard Magenta, noticed an ill-look-
ing, though well-dressed customer, whose
appearance agreed, as he thought. with the
description given in the newspapers OF the
dread Ravachol. The landlord recollected
that the same man had taken lunch there
on Sunday afternoon and had professed An
archist opinions to the waiter. The land
lord and his brother .in-law having spoken
Of the dynamite outrage which had taken
place that very morning in the Rue de
Clinchy, the stranger grew very enthusias-
tic. He gave particulars about every one Of
the tenants and explained that the Anarch-
lists had singled out that house because the
public Prosecutor, who had conducted the
case for the prosecution against them at q
recent trial, lived there.
The day after, when q description of Rava-
chol appeared in the papers, the landlord
thought lit was not unlike that OF his Gus
toner Of the previous evening. When the
stranger appeared again ut the wine shop he
at once sent a message to the Commissary,
NJ Dresch, who put a revolver in his pocket,
and, accompanied by an official and two po-
licemen, went to the restaurant OF the Boule-
ward Magenta, telling the policemen to re.
main In readiness outside. The Commissary
and his secretary went inside, and. sitting
at table opposite Ravachol, ordered lunch.
N. Dresch. after few moments. felt almost
certain that Ravachol WAS in front of him.
The stranger paid his bill and rose to leave.
after glancing suspiciously at his two neigh
bors. NJ. Dresch followed him, and, address
ing him in his politest manner, said:
II beg your pardon, sir, but 1 would like to
have couple of words with yon."
Instead of replying the stranger drew
back and put his hand to his pocket, but
the Commissary and his secretary were pre-
pared for this, and grasped him by the hand
before he could draw his revolver, and the
two policemen were down upon him in q
moment. There was a severe struggle. The
polfcemen's coats were torn OF their backs,
and they might have had to let 20 their hold
had not three persons come to their help.
NJ. DIesch, dfsengaged, then took out his
revolver and threatened to shoot the priso-
ner if he tried to escape. At the station he
gave a violent jerk and made for the door,
but was brought back. He then rolled on
the ground and kicked viciously, but was at
length pinioned after a desperate struggle
with Is policemen, in which he was rather
severely handled. On him were found a
loaded revolver six cartridges, and sword
stick. Subsequently he acknowledged his
identity.
