House. instead OF adjourning, took recess
until IL o'clock Monday morning. in this
way, the House. on reassembling Monday

burst of applause In which the Republicans
joined the Democrats.
Mr.. Cram endeavored to filibuster by in
terjecring q number of suggestions and

Maine, finally appealed to HIM, give the
| microbes of reason o chance. After some
| discussion of the bill by Mr.. Malbry. of
| Florida. and Mr.. Oates, of Alabama. both
of HON opposed the bill, 1t was discussed
| by sections. The House after listening TO
| MIR. Rayner, seemed to weary of the sub
| ject, aud IL was plainly evident from the
| confusion on the floor and the reckless and
inconsistent voting of the members, that
| the dying interest would only be revived
when the final voting began.
| Colonel Stump's amendment, adding the
| provisions of his Immigration bill for
seven days quarantine at the point of de-
| parture, was defeated by a majority SO
| overw helmlng that Mr.. Stump sank bsck
dismayed. w. BOurke Cochran. the Tam.

between the the lines, was plainly for the

pledged to Its support IL was evident that

A long series of amendments by various
| members of the Texas delegation, headed
| by Mr.. Grain, followed. all attacking those
| provisions of the bill which authorize the
Secretary of the Treasury to establish
quarantine precautions in addition to

Up to this time the New York members
had not at any time made too plainly evil
dent their tender sOllcltude for Dr. Jenkins

eral authorities ITO modify, suspend

regulations. Several speakers, among them
Messrs. Boutelie and Dingley, pointed out
that the sole purpose of the amendment
was to preserve the Tammany quarantine
and its fat patronage. Mr.. Cochran mere
ly smiled, and did not seem to consider it
necessary to make any reply. He
knew that the friends of the

about to be refused when MIR. Rag ner arose
and notified the friends of quarantine that
