ON THEIR TRAVELS.
MANY Democratic Members Of the
House Of Representatives.
NOT ENOUGH IN WASHINGTON TO
MAKE A QUORUM.

Only About Sixty of the Majority Party
Appeared in the House Yesterday and
in Consequence the Election Case Is
just Where 1t Was Before-The House
Adjourned A Call for Continuous
Sessions.
Washington, April 2-When the House
was called to order today not more than
three score memb bers were seated on the
Democratic side. The struggle over
the O'Neill-Joy cont ested election case
was begun i'm mediately after the read
ing of the journal. The Speaker stated
that the question was upon laying on the
table the motion of Mr.. Burrows, Republic
can of Michigan, to reconsider the vote
by which the House rejected the resolu-
tion of the minority OF the committee
on elections that Mr.. Joy was entitled
to the seat. Before the roll was called,
the yeas and nays were ordered. Mr..
Burrows rose to inquire whether it was
in order for member to have his vote
recorded on the question unless, he was
actually present III Gu5 HAIL db 0uC oliu o
his name was called. The, Speaker
answered that it was not. The rules on
that subject was very clear. He had
given orders to the clerks that no viola
tion or evasion OF the rule would be per-
mitted. Mr. Reed, Republican of Maine,
said he desired to suggest that it had
not been the custom of the clerks desk.
1t was to prevent repetition OF the
failure to observe the rules that ne
had taken his place near the desk the
other day when ordered to take his seat
by the Chair.
The Speaker-The Chair has not been
informed of any violation of the rule.
The roll was called, the result being
yeas, 147; nays, 12, no quorum.
Filibustering was resumed and Kept
up until it being apparent that no DEM
ocratic quorum was likely to be OBJ
tained to day, the House adjourned.
Mr.. Patterson stated that beginning to-
morrow, he would insist upon the House
remaining in continuous session until
the election cases was disposed Of After
ward he explained that not sufficient
number of Democratic mem bers are in
the city to procure quorum in the
House.

Especial to the Press.

Norfolk, Va, April 2.-The four-mast-
ed schooner Talofa, about which some
unessiness has been caused by her not

on her way to her destination. The Vir-
ginia pilots report her as having left
Hampton Roads on the Goth ult. She re-
manned in Hampton Roads about eight
days, after arriving there from Balti-
more. During this time she made sew
eral attempts to proceed. but after reach
ing the ,Capes she returned. Why she
did SO is unknown, as the weather was
good at the time. She is coal laden, and
sailed from Baltimore the 10Th ult.
The Talofa is one of the staunchest
and best of the big Maine schooners en-
gagged in the coastwise trade. She was
built by the Sewalls in Bath only five
years ago. Her non-arrival, as stated in
the above despatch, has caused consider
able anxiety here, it being feared that
she might have been the victim Of col
lision. The news of her safety will be
welcome to her owners. and especially SO
to the friends of Captain Fletcher, who
was accompanied by his wife and chill
dren.

The Simpletons. new novel by THOMAS
HARDY, will be begun in the December Number,
1894. and continued to November, 1895. Whoever
may be ones favorite among English novelists, il
will be conceded by all critics that THOMAS
HARDY stands foremost as master artist in
fiction, and The Simpetons may be expected to
arouse enthusiasm not inferior in degree TO that
which has marked Trilby-the most successful
story of the year. Another leading feature will
be the Personal Recolectons of Joan of Arc, by
the Sieur LOUIS DE CosrE, Her Page and Secre-
tary, under which guse the most popular of living
American magazine writers will present the story
of the Maid of Orleans. In the January Number
will appear a profusely illustrated paper on
Charleston and the Carolnas, the first OF series
of Southern Papers.
Northern Africa is attracting more attention
than at any other time since il the seat of en-
pires. The next volume of HARPER'S MAGA-
ZINE will contain four illustrated articles on this
region, and three of them will depict the present
life there, JULIAN RALPH will prepare for the
MAGAZINE series of eight stories, depicting
TYPICAL phases of Chinese Life and Manners.
Besides the long stories, there will begin in the
January Number the first chapters OF Three
Part Novelette,, by RICHARD HARDING DAvIs-the
longest work yet attempted by this writer. Com
plete short stories by popular writers will con-
tinue TO be feature of the MAGAZINE.

The successor of Chief Justice Nc
Grath. whose term expires on Decem-
Der the Slst, 1895, is to be elected at
the next spring election, and number
of candidates have already been an
nounced. Without saying anything in
disparagemento of the claims of any OF
those whose names have so far been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the Office, we believe, everything
considered, Hon. George M. Buck, our
able Circuit Judge, is very likely to
receive the nomination; and while the
people of the Ninth Judicial Circuit
will be most sorry to lose the services
of that eminent jurist, and find it ex-
ceedingly difficult to fill his place, they
realize that the promotion is deserved
and the honor will be rightly bestowed
The NoRTHERNER, believing Judge
Buck to be well equipped to discharge
the duties of Justice of the Supreme
Court, and most available candidate,
will heartily advocate his nomination
and nomination, of course, means
an election.

ever drilled in this country was struck
last week on the Jones farm, Madison
Township, Sandusky County, Ohio.
The well has how settled down to a
steady gait of R5O barrels per hour.
Thousands of barrels of oil were lost
before the monster could he controlled,
a thirty-acre corn field adjacent being
covered six inches deep. Huge logs
and chains hold the covering from
being blown out. -Four solid five-inch
streams are thrown. Twenty $50 barrel
