their efforts to prevent the masters from
putting into effect the scheme to reduce

MEMBERS MUST VOTE.
Ex-Speaker Reed's Action Sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
TIE EX-sPEAKER HIGHLY ELATED.

All of tho Justices Unite in the opin-
ion That a Quorum Is Composed
of the Number of Persons Present.
The Decision Sustains the McKin-
ley Bill. ...
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The action
of the supreme court in unanimously
sustaining Speaker Reeds action in the
last congress in counting a quorum
creates great stir in political circles.
1t is conceded on both sides that it is
great victory for the Republicans. 1t is
thought that this action may make Mr..
Reed a formidable presidential candidate.
The vindication of Ex-Spealzer Reed is
especially pleasing to that gentleman.
In an interview on the subject he said:
Ex-Speaker Reed EIated.
"Of course it is very gratifying to me
to have the highest judicial tribunal in
the country support my position, the
legality of which, however, have never
had any doubt. The decision demon
strates that quorum is composed of
the number of persons present, whether
they vote or not. This part of the
opinion of the supreme court is without
single dissenting voice, the Democratic
and Republican justices alike agreeing
on this point. The action of the court
in this respect sustains that of every
court in the country which has passed
upon tine question. 1t also shows the
false position occupied by the Democrats
on this question. 1t should forever put
an end to the assumption that legal
quorum can be broken by members re-
fusing to vote when they are present in
their seats"
The Mckinley Law Valid.
The ''no quorum" case, in which the
legality of the Bingley worsted act was
attacked by Ballins, Joseph y Co., i'm
porters, was passed through the action
of Speaker Reed in counting a quorum
when there was quorum of members
present but not voting. The importers
maintained that Speaker Reeds action
was in violation of the constitution, and
that the act passed in this manner was
void. The United States circuit court
for the southern district of New York
decided against the United States and
in favor of the importers on this ground,
so that the case came before the United
States supreme court averse to the con-
stitutionality of the mo quorum
method of parliamentary procedure.
The conrt, in an opinion by Justice
Brewer, holds that the mo quorum"
rule was valid, and that the house of
representatives had right to make such
rule.

to deny them in the most positive terms.
This statement is an internal lie.'

said: II do not know anything about
them. l have all / can do to deny ru-
mors about myself, without giving at
tention to those concerning others. l

FOR RUssIA's RELIEF.
The Indiana Must Be Loaded by the
goth Instant.

Goth Instant.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.-At yester-
days meeting of the Russian famine
committee the question of getting the
necessary cargo for the steamer Indiana
was again considered. 1t was the opin-
ion of many of the gentlemen present
that it would be impossible to raise the
necessary supplies by the Goth inst, the
time at which the goods must be sent
away if the offer of the Indiana's owners
is accepted.
The Iowa grain promised by President
Clara Barton, of the Red Cross society,
cannot possibly reach this port before
the 2Sth, and that from Minnesota has
not yet started. With this portion of
the supplies not accessible it was the
opinion of Mayor Stuart that one-tenth
of the cargo could not be raised before
the goth.
Mr.. BlanlSenburg was confident that
the ship would be loaded by donations
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, but his views We're not shared
by all, it being the opinion of one OF the
members that Miss Barton should he
consulted and asked to forward all sup
plies at her command.
This action was deemed advisable, as
the reply to Mayor Stuart's telegram to
Governor Boies, OF Iowa, stated that ar
rangements had been made to send the
donations to New York, and Miss Bar
ton was named as custodian.
Governor Pattison today sent to the

THE READINGS BIG SCOOP.
fIearly All of the Anthracite Coal Out
put Under One Management.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE rumors
regarding the great anthracite coal deal,
which had been flying around Wall
street and Third street for some days,
assumed definite shape yesterday when
it was authoritatively announced that
combination embracing the Reading,
Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central and Le-
high and Susquehanna railroads had
been formed.
In an interview President Mcleod
said: Under the leases there will be
paid guaranteed dividend of per cent.
per annum upon the stock of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey and guar
anteed dividend upon the stock of the
Lehigh Valley railroad, at gradually in
creasing rates, per cent. per annum
until May 81 next, then Q per cent. per
annum for the half year until Nov 30,
and afterwards per cent. per annum.
In each case it is provided that the net
surplus earnings of the respective COM
panies, if any, beyond the above guar
anteed rates of dividend shall be divided
between lessor and lessee until the les
sor's share reaches, with the guaranteed
rate, a total of 10 per cent. per annum. :"
Mr.. Mcleod said the saving In COM
missions, ETC., to the coal carriers will
be several millions annually, without
adding TO the cost of coal to the con-
sumner.
The control of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad company
has been purchased by the new friends
of the Reading. who are said to have an
absolute control of the majority of the
