Especial to the Press.]


WASHINGTON, February 2.-The dis
cussion on the rules is keeping Mr.. Reed
constantly on the alert. The Democrats
spare no opportunity of indulging in
"reminiscences of the action of Mr.. Reed
while in the chair in the last Congress,
and the ex-Speaker is quick to defend
himself. Several rash and untried men on
the Democratic side have sought to gain
little temporary notoriety by prod
ding Mr.. Reed. They never attempt it
a second time. Mr.. Reed crushes them
so effectually and so neatly that there is
nothing left for a second operation.
His memory never fails him, and he has
an inconvenient habit of quoting an old
speech just at the time when it will
prove most embarrassing to its author,
who has long ago forgotten all about 1T.
This he did most effectively today by
reviewing speech made by Mr. Spring
er. In that connection he fired shot at
the Democratic side which was very tell
ing. He
Alluded to Mr.. Springer
as ssthe able chairman of the ways and
means committee, the distinguished
leader of his party" compliment
which neither Mr.. Mills nor Mr.. McMil-
lin appreciated, and which made even
Mr Springer feel uncomfortable, as his
''leading' has not been very conspicuous
thus far.
Congress has been in session nearly
two months and only three bills have
passed both Houses and became laws.
None of them is Of national Importance.
The delay in action threatens long ses-
sion of Congress. There have already
been introduced about 5000 bills in the
Senate and House, and while probably
three-ffths of them will never receive
the slightest degree of attention, the list
includes many that will demand serious
consideration. The appropriation bills
have yet to be passed, and as the House
is likely to be plunged into prolonged
tariff debate at any moment to say moth
inc of the fact that no business is ever
transacted while the national conventions
are in session, it is hard to see how an
early adjournment is to be brought
about.

Seamen who were out on the Pacific Sat-

storm was ne of the worst they have ever
seen on the coast. Three vessels have been
reported as gone ashore" and the chances
are that there are several more that have
not yet been heard from.
There was not much wind, but the swell
was tremendous and the fog dense. Smaller
vessels were entirely beyond control.
The bark Arethusa. which nearly ran on
the beach, did so on account of losing her
reckoning in the storm.
The same storm had the effect OF sending
the San Juan ashore. but she got off with
out injury.
The freight steamer Alex Duncan, Cap

her bow tied Up in ropes. sails and different

on TO Mussel Rock at the entrance OF Mon

The accident happened Sunday morning
during the storm and fog. Ii was Captain

Alliance arrived here from Hong eng she
was on short allowance OF food and had no

however, had she not given away a large
quantity to the crew Of the Kenny, which
was lost in the fog and had been over a

was without food. and there would have
