THE HOUSE.

There was a calm in the House today. sue-
ceeding the gale of yesterday The attendance
was small and the first half hour of the session
was consumed in the consideration of a few
private measures.
CONFERENCE ON TIE DISTRICT BILL
On motion of Mr.. Dockery ono, Ia committee
of conference was ordered ON tho District IL
Columbia appropriation bill.
Mn. BAILEY AND HIS BILE,
Mr.. Bailey (Tex.), rising to a question Of Del.
sonal privilege, replied to some structures made
upon him by the Washington Post some days
sSo. That paper, IN jocular way, re-
ferred to him as having been taught
tempted to pass bill granting a right Of way
to the Greenville,. Oklahoma and Gulf Rail-
road Company. The bill was passed
without "a quorum voting and the
srticle poked little good-natured criticism at
Mr.. Bailey for suffering the bill to pass in this
manner when he had made q reputation for
himself as one of the strictest sticklers for a
quorum.
Mr.. Bailey thought that he was perfectly
consistent. He had Dever contended that there
should be quorum present just before his
bill had passed a call of the House had shown
the presence of 1914 members.
now He KNEW THERE WAS QUORUM.
Mr.. Boutelle (Me.) inquired as to how the
gentleman ascertained the presence OF q
quorum at the time the vote was taken. Mr..
Bailey replied that he supposed that he had
initiated the Speaker of the last House and
had seen quorum. Laughter and appliance
on the republican side.l
POKE AT Nh. WALLER.
Mr.. Walker (Mass.) interjected question.
"Oh," said Mr.. Bailey, '.you will have time
to talk In few minutes on . matter Of your
own"
This sally was greeted with laughter, a. a
was generally expected that the Question az
expungipg Mr.. Walkers reference to Mr.. wiz
iiams and MIR. Hoar will be determined TODAY.

James b. Allen, whom citizens OF
Chicago, ILL.,, recognized iu 1889 as Tie
oldest settler by presenting him with
medal suitably inscribed, lniulges in
some interesting "reminiscences. lie was
brought to the log settlement in 1888
being then two years old, by his father
The family came from Ogdensburg, n.
Y. They took up their residence in
little house Immediately south of the
picket fence surrounding the fort. 1t
was the only house left by the Indians
after the massacre Of 1872, and General
Winfield Scott had once occupied it.
The General presented to the elder Allen
three old cannon, which were afterwards
thrust muzzlc down into the ground and
used as hitching posts. Later they were
cast into q bell for the court house. Old
Allen built Chicago's first dock, on
River street. "lhe first water works
Chicago had," says his son, "wcre
operated by Mic Rciss, who peddled
water to the settlers at the price Of
twenty-five cents hogshead. The
water works consisted of a two-wheel
cart on which was placed sort of tank,
and the whole arrangement was drawn
bv horse which old Nick Rciss used to
drive. A good many years after that
my father aud Virgil C. Walter, under
the firm name of Allen & Walter, opGr-
ated the old hydraulic water works at
the foot of Lake street. The water was
conducted to the city in wooden pipes"
He continues: 81 remember the old
ferry across the river where the Rush
Street Bridge is now; it was pulled by a
rope attached to a windlass on each
bank of the river. There also used to
be ferry where tac Lake Street Bridge
