IN CONGRESS.
a Condensed Report of the Proceedings
In Both Branches.

| WASHINGTON, April l2-The senate had
| a somewhat long and uninteresting dis
cussion on the tariff and deficiency bill.
Senator Hale made a sharp attack on
the Wilson bill. He declared that it was
a sectional measure and protected the
south and punished the north. Foreign
ers, he claimed, were benefited at the ex-
pense OF American labor, and wound up
with the statement that the passage of
the bill meant disaster to the Democracy.
Nothing was done in the house for want
of quorum.
WASHINGTON, April 49, - Mr.. PETER
made another installment of his tariff
speech. Democrats lacked quorum in
the house and Republicans filibustered.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator PEI
fer finished his speech on the tariff, and
Mitchell took his turn. There was no
quorum i'll the house. Democratic mem
bers of the house held caucus and
adopted a resolution looking to secure
quorums.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The struggle
over the adoption of the new quorum
counting rule, decided upon by the Dem
ocratic caucus, will be the feature of this
week in the house.
The senate adjourned soon after the
hour for meeting today out of respect
for the memory of Senator Vance.
WASHINGTON, April II. - The Demo-
cratic mem bers of the committee on rules
are assiduously at work trying to reach
some agreement as to the rule which the
caucus directed them to propose. They
desire to frame measure that will be
satisfactory to their party and one which
will secure united support. The one re-
ported last week, ining present and alb
sent members, was very Objectionable to
the majority, and had to be abandoned.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The new rule
formulated by the Democratic members
of the rules committee was laid before the
full committee by Speaker Crisp, and
adopted, there being but AZ dissenting
yotes-all Democrats

REFORMER MURPHY
Pleading at Boston For Signatures to
the Blue Ribbon Roll.

Boston, April l6.-A 10-days' temper
ance crusade begun here yesterday, under
the auspices of the Boston Christian En-
deavor union
The campaign opened yesterday after
noon, when meeting was held for men
only. In the evening Mr.. Murphy spoke.
One of the main features of the services
is an opening praise service led by a
chorus of selected voices, contributed by
the mem bers of the various Christian En-
deavor societies which make up the Bos-
ton union
The story of Ned Murphy's recent cam
paign in Connecticut, now about year
old, can best be told by the tact that he
has obtained about $4,000 pledge sigma
lures, adding to the vast army of blue
ribbon wearers.
The beginning of Mr.. Murphy's progress
is the history of single evening in Eng
land when his father was called away
suddenly, leaving Thomas to do the work
alone. His whole stock in trade was one
set speech which had already been given.
There was nothing for him to do but "get
up and talk" He found that he could
talk" and with few intervals devoted to
private business he has been talking" on
temperance ever since.
Mr.. Murphy thinks that if the majority
of the people vote for license they should
have it, and that the surest way to get rid
of the saloons is to do everything posi- BILE
to decrease their support. He believes
that total abstinence is the only solution
of the liquor problem, and gives strong
reasons why thoroughly temperate
drinking man is almost an impossibility

Important Testimony.

AUGUSTA, Me-, April 16.-In the Silver
manslaughter case, George w. Heselton,
counsel for Silver, stated that Silver
wished to withdraw his plea of not guilty
and plead nolo contendre. Edwin R.
Clary testified that he, with Silver and
the victim, Blenn, on the afternoon of the
alleged crime, had friendly scuffie,
Blenn falling and bruising his head. The
last he saw of Silver was when he rowed
away with Blenn in the bottom of the
boat, where he had fallen. Clary's testi-
mony exonerates Wakefield, who already
has been convicted of manslaughter.

REEDGAINS APPOINT
The House Adopts the Quorum
Counting System.
Senators Still Hammering Away at the
Tsrif-Lodge Submits an Amendment
to Tack on the Free List.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The house by
| an overwhelming vote decided to adopt
quorum counting rule which, for all
practical purposes, is the same as that
which ex-Speaker Reed inaugurated dur
ing the Fifty-frst congress.
Neither undue excitement nor tumul-
tuous scenes marked the crushing of the
old legislative barriers. Mr.. Reed and the
Repu blicans generally were in delight
full humor over the victory they had
achieved. Those who expected Mr.. Reed
would gibe his political adversaries with
their alleged Inconsistency were disap-
pointed.
Only Is minutes on side were allowed
for debate, and Mr. Reed, instead of con-
suming that with an arraignment of the
Democrats, good naturedly distributed
most of it to Democrats who desired to
oppose the new rule, and when his time
was exhausted, he jocularly asked for
more time to dole out among his friends
on the other side-Messrs. Bryan, Cum
mings, Wheeler, Kilgore and Russell
being the Democrats who were thus given
an opportunity to protest against the
adoption of the rule.
When the vote was taken AZ Democrats
voted against it, but it secured every Re
publican vote and was carried by vote
of 212 to A. The Populists did not vote on
the proposition.
The End of Filibustering.
The adoption of this rule, taken in con-
junction with the decision to enforce the
old law of 1916 to dock the salaries of
mem bers absent, save on account of sick
ness, will, it is thought, put an end for
ever to parliamentary distractions. The
enforcement of that law will keep mem
bers at their post of duty, and the rule
will prevent them from refusing to par
ticipate in legislation when they are pres
ent
After the adoption of the rule it only
required a few minutes to straighten out
the parliamentary tangle which the house
has been in lor some days, and the house
then quietly proceeded with the consider
alton of the consular and diplomatic bill.
Mr. Hit made strong speech, arraign-
ing the foreign policy of the administers
tion, in the course OF which he severely
scored the president for appointing Van
Allen minister to Italy as u reward for
his $4,000 political contribution. He
also criticised eX-Assistant Secretary of
State Quincy for the character of his
consular appointments, and in general
way ridiculed the state departments
policy of the present administration, not
neglecting very pointed reference to the
attempt to restore Queen Liliuokalani to
the Hawaiian throne.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hits speech
the committee rose and the house ad-
journed.

New Trial Given.
WASHINGTON, April 16-Colonel Breck-
inridge will have to pay Miss Madeline
verdict of the 12 men, good and true, and
1t was reached after only an hour of de-
liberation.
After over five weeks of trial, after
mud throwing on both sides, after tales
of depravities that have shocked the
country, after confessions of misdeeds
from both the man and the woman on
the witness stand, the jury have declared
that Breckenridge deceived, if he did not
betray. Madeline Pollard.
The finding of the jury is, indeed, a
most severe judgment upon Colonel
Breckenridge. considering all that has
been brought forward in his defense. The
sum of $4,000 is, potentially, crushing
million in the eyes of his countrymen.
Judge Bradley, whose sternness through
out the trial has been frequently shown,
warned the audience against making any
demonstration when the verdict was an
nounced.
The foreman of the Jury, Charles R.
Cole, arose and announced the verdict in
favor of the plaintiff. Colonel Breckin-
ridge, who had been nervously swapping
a rubber band, turned to Colonel Thomp-
son and asked in low tone: For what

Judge Bradley asked: "For what
amount"
Fifteen thousand dollars" responded
Mr.. Cole.
Colonel Breckenridge at once arose and
inquired of Judge Bradley how long
time he had in which to file motion for
q new trial, and Lawyer McKenney of his
counsel stood up and gave notice that a
new trial would be asked for.
Then followed the usual speech of
thanks to the jury, which in this case
