The subject Of the quarantine is now
absorbing a great deal Of time and atten-
tion. and the various sugges tions on the
subject go 10 show the vast amount Of
consideration IL is receiving on all sides
The establishment of a fixed quarantine
regulation Will also have its effect on
the immigration restriction question. and
thus the entire subject just at present is
lost in the vortex Of legislative possibli-
ties. The Treasury officials seem to favor
the seven-dAys quarantine and rigid in
spection on the other side. While Dr.
Wyman, the supervising inspcct0r-gen-
cral Of the Marine Hospital Service
clings 10 the twenty-days quarantine on
this side. y positive expression on the
subject from the President is expected
during the week. and IN the meanwhile
Congress is working on the measure
A special meeting of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Commerce was held this
morning, and 1t was agreed TO authorize
the passage of the present quarantine
bill before the Senate. and which will

Mr.. a. r. Wallace i'm 1857 was a plain
attorney y-at-law amid the quiet mountains
of Vermont. No thought of public life
nor ambition for political prominence dis
turbed his daily rest ia his Office and
monthly visits to the courthouse. but
a Republican was TO be selected for the
interstate commerce commission. and so

with whom Mr.. Walker read law. ne
was appointed. only two years elapsed,
during which time o1r. Walker drew his
salary. and faithfully upheld the law

regularity that he was engaged by
syndicate of western railroads at $4,000
per annum for four years. only half of
the stipulated salary has come
around, but they are still amending the
law and Mr.. Walker stiA has his contract,
though the syndicate has failed in bust
ness.
Even the clerk Of the House Of Repre-

show mp. IL uniiEmhed to work, and the
clerks are selected with a view 20 their
reading abilities and the clerk never even
listens 10 the chaplains prayers-he
thanks the majority. But the chief clerks
are never idle. and the dispatches this
morning announce the presence Of Chief
Clerk James Kerr at Altoona. Pa, where
he is stated 10 have just purchased a
railroad for an Eastern syndicate, ana
some Of the stockholders are terribly
wrought up because Of the "quiet meth

but continues 10 draw even from Altoona
