WOaK OF THE HOUSE.
The Quarantine Bill Passed After a
Debate

The Quarantine Bill Passed After a
Debate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The House, in
continuation Of Saturdays session, met at
II o'clock this morning. This had the effect
to continue the special order under which
the quarantine bill is being considered, and
the House Immediately proceeded, in COM
mittee Of the whole, to its further Discus
sion. An amendment was adopted extend
ing the provisions Of the bill to immgrR-
tIon and importa tion across land bound
aries, as we'll as across sea boundaries. The
object Of this amendment as explained
by Mr.. Warner is to protect
the Canadian and Mexican frontiers.
After the rejection OF various other
amendments the committee rose and re-
ported the bill TO the House. Then the
House found itself in a tight parliamentary
tangle, and every member who attempted
TO disentangle it only drew the knot the
firmer. The bill as reported from the COM
mittee Of the whole was a substitute for the
original bill introduced by Mr.. Rayner, and
as such substitute was reported as one
amendment, although it had itself received
several amendments. Complaint was made
that this was not the proper status Of the
bill, but the speaker was firm in his decision
that there was but one amendment-the
substi.ute-pen
TIE PREVIOUS QUESTION ORDERED.
The previous question was ordered on
the substitute reported by the COMMITTEES
of the whole. 139 to 20. and the substitute
was agreed to. Then came the vote on the
final passage Of the bill. On division the
vote stood Ill to Al.
MIR. Mallory raised the point Of no
quorum, but on a vote by tellers the vote
stood 13S TO 80 and the bill passed. No
effort Was made to secure the yeas and
nays.
Mr.. Wise, DEM, Of Virginia then called
up the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill, but the filibustering against it was 30
strong that it was Withdrawn.
The House then, in the committee of the
whole, proceeded to consideration Of the
sundry civil appropriation bill.
The committee, after disposing of about
half Of the bill, rose aud the House, at 5:15

GRESHAM TO BE PROMOTED.
A Belief That Cleveland VIII Put Him

Belief That Cleveland VIII Put Him
on the supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, Jan. EX-SENATOR Teller
Of Colorado, who is member of the judic-
iary committee, is quoted as saying. appar-
antly on inside information: at is my opin-
ion that if Judge Gresham does not go into
President Cleveland's cabinet he will before
many months, be on the supreme bench
here. Mr.. Cleveland will have three places
on that bench to fill soon. Justices Blatch-
ford and Field will retire soon on account
Of age. He will, by special
act. doubtless retire Justice Lamar
early in the next session of congress.
Everybody knows that Justice Lamar Is in
capacitated by ill-health. He has reached
the age for retirement, but has not been in
the service ten years, as required by law.
Justice Lamar is old and poor, and we are
going to pension him by retiring him by
special act of congress. If Judge Gresham
is not in the cabinet. ne will, | suspect, take
Justice Lamars place.

The Senate and House Have Now Each
Passed Bill on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The quarantine
bill which passed the House to-day, though
in its general purport similar to the Senate
measure on the same subject will have to
pass the scrutiny of the latter body. The
Senate bill still rests upon the speakers
table, and If it could have been taken up
and amended in conformity with the House
bill it could have been sent Immediately to
conference. AS it is, the House bill goes 10

enjoyed by any other proposition originat-
ing in the other house.

PARIS, Jan. 23-M. Clemenosau was

spite his statements TO the contrary, had
told many persons that he had handed TO
M. Clemenceau Baron de Reinach's list Of

been intriguing against him, NJ. Clemenceau

THE REINACH AUTOPSY.
The report of the autopsy held on Baron
de Reinach's body was sent this evening TO
the procureur general The report states
that no trace of poison was found In the
body but that the examining physicians
are vuh5le TO assert that Baron Reinach
died OF natural causes. The unsatisfactory
nature of this result of the autopsy is due
to the fact that Baron Reiusch's body was
not exhumed until decomposition was far
advanced.
