CONGRESSIONAL AFFAIRS,
The silver Bill Measure of Lively Inter
est-Tho Quarantine IiilI,


WASHINGTON, d, o., Feb. 5.-To.mor,
row will mark the beginning OF the Inst
four weeks OF the Fifty-second Con-
gress, and the clash OF interests de-
manding attention which must arrive
from the announcements already made
promises an exceedingly lively legisla.
tive week, These subjects include such
important measures as the bills for the
repeal Of silver purchase act, for the
establishment OF national quarantine,
to prevent dealings in futures (the anti
option billy, and tor the establishment
OF general bankrupt law. A discus
sion the end OF which before the session
closes cannot be foreseen, unless
brought about by the presentation Of
the beginning, il Mr. Hill carries out
his intention OF asking the senate
whether or not it will take up the bill
to repeal the silver purchase law. Much
pressure is being brought to bear upen
Mr., Hill not to press the motion, but SO
far he has given no indication OF yield
ing to the opportunities addressed TO
him.
Mr.. Harris has given notice that he
will at the same time ask the senate to
take up the quarantine bill. These mo-
tions will come up in the morning
hour, and, OF themselves, would cause no
debate, but II Mr.. HILLS motion pre-
vailed, then Mr.. Teller's implied threat
OF talking out the session would begin
to work. Senator Cullom will endeayor
to have the bills for the amendment OF
interstate commerce law disposed OF
this week, but will probably not an.
tagonize Mr.. Sherman's desire TO got
the Nicaragua canal bill out OF the SEN
ate and over to the house.
The probabilities favor the conclu.
sion that the legislation upon matters
Of general public moment accomplished
by the senate will be almost entirely
confined to such bills as the appropria.
tion committee might call up.
The programme OF the house for tho
week is fairly well outlined except as
respects the anti-option bill. Mr.,
Hatch, for reasons OF his own, declines
TO say what move he intends to make
with regard to it. Monday rs suspen-
sion day and the flllibusters arc looking
to it with anxiety. There seems to be
a disposition to o5struct each bill as it
comes up, regardless OF the feelings
towards the measure itself for fear that
the speedy passage may be the harbin-
ger OF hope to some more Objectionable
bill, but further down the list.
Mr.. Hatch has asked for recognition
in order to call up the Paddock pure
food bill, and the speaker will give him
the opportunity desired. Beside the
pure food bill the measures which are
most likely to be considered under sus-
pension Of rules are tho bill for the adj
miesion OF Utah into the Union as n
state, the bankruptcy bill and the Now
York bridge bill. Wednesday Is the
day named in the constitution for
counting tho electoral vote, and Thurs
day and Friday will be devoted to a
discussion OF cloture and Of the silver
question. 1t cannot be told whether or
not the efforts to force the silver ques-
ton to vote will be successful.

QUlErlNG A SCANDAL.

King Humhert Means to suppress All Ru-
mors That Affect Statesman and Politi.
clans.
ROME, Feb. 5.-By order OF King
Humbert every effort will be made TO
suppress or minimize tho financial scan
dals go far as they concern statesmen
and politicians, although dofaultlng
bank officers will not be allowed to es.
cape punishment
Nearly all the bills belonging to sena.
tors, deputies and former ministers
who received money from the Banca
Romano have been retired, and it is an
open secret that the king provided from
his privy purse between 100000 and
100000 lire OF tho money provided for
that purpose, Floria, Berardi, and other
rich bankers finding the balance. The
bills thus redeemed included one for
100000 lire bearing the name OF q
former prime minister, aud one for
100000 lire signed by member OF
the present ministry, whose early re-
tirement will shortly be announced.
In the province the financial situa-
tion 10 in some respects worse than in
Rome. The report that Bank Mana
gers Chiaramonte and Favorolo had
fed from Palermo Is confirmed, and
their deficit proves to be over 5000, 900
lire. At Caltauisetta the cashier Of the
chief bank is in custody, charged with
frauds upon gigantic scale. AT Ii
vourne Manager Dini has been arrested
for embezzling over million. At
FIorencc, warrant has been issued
against fugitive bank auditor who. by
manipulating his books, put 100000
liro into his own pocket with the fraud
ulent connivance OF other officers. At
Verona one Moschine, the agent OF the
Peoples bank, has been sent to the
galleys for embezzling 100000 lire The
bank has also lost enormous sums In
other ways, and it is now in liguida-
ton, although its president, Count
Dalla Rosa, tried to save it by paying
from his own purse 100000 lire.
This blacklist is given as sample,
for it by no means oxhausts tho Cata.
logue The credit OF the soundest in
stitutions and tho honor Of mon appar-
emily beyond reproach are still in-
pugned by rumor, and no one can yet
say confidently that the worst has
passed,

New YoRE, Feb. ga local paper
Gays; 1t is the general impression
among the politicians that Mr., Cleye.
land has decided upon only two mem
bers OF his cabinet.
They know Mr.. Carlisle is to be sec
rotary of treasury and Dan. S, Lamont
either secretary Of war, or secretary Of
navy, but are mystitled as to tho other
men who are to have portfolios, The
belief is growing that James @, Carter,
OF this city, is now the choice Of Mr.,
Cleveland for secretary of state, and, in
the event OF his appointment, it is said
Judge W, @. Gresham is likely to have
his place as attorney in the Bering sea
controversy.
There is q good deal OF discussion
over Judge Gresham, whose appoint
ment to q cabinent office would be
received with diafavor by many Demo.
Gratis. tits limited that Mr.. Cleveland
has offered Judge Gresham an office,
and whatever was offered he declined,
Henry Willard may be in the cabinet
as secretary OF the interior, but his APP
pointment would create considerable
talk because OF his railroad connections.
Ex-Secretary OF the Navy William O.
Whitney is no longer spoken OF for q
cabinet portfolio. Mr.. Cleveland would
like to have him for secretary OF the
navy, but II Mr.. Whitney accepts any
thing it will. probably be tho mission to
England or France.
General Patrick Collins, OF Boston,
will probably be the New England
representative in the cabinet.

Against Cholera's Invasion.

CmcAeo, Feb. 5.--In view OF the
possible invasion OF Asiatic cholera
during the present year. ii the quaran-
tine laws be not amended and immigra-
tion checked, the leading physicians Of
Illinois have been in consultation to
determine what action should be taken
to bring about needed reform. Reso-
lutions passed called upon Congress to
take such stops as will secure the coun-
try against cholera, and dacommittee ap-
pointed to 90 to Washington to have
them presented to tho proper body. The
meeting was called at the request OF the
New York Academy Of Medicine, whose
members asked that committee be
appointed to act in conjunction with a
joint committee from Boston, New York
and Philadelphia.
The resolutions passed were 10 the
effect that physicians OF the state Of
Illinois believe 1t imperative for the
welfare OF the country that Congress
should enact such laws as would secure
the nation against the threatened inya-
sion OF cholera, and giving the opinion
that the passage OF national quarantine
laws is tho only way TO obtain tho de-
sirod result.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 5.-The
criticism upon the appointment by
President Harrison Of Judge Jackson,
to succeed late Associate Justice Lamar
on the supreme bench, made by j. S.
Clarkson, and published this morning

that as Clarkson had requested Senator

added interest to the affair.
Senator Cullom was seen this after.
noon by reporter, and was asked what
action he had determined to take. He
said he had been SO busy with other
