WHY NOT COUNT THEM.
Another Plan Proposed TO Make Fill.
busters Vote

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-The call for q
caucus of the Democrats to agree upon a
rule for recording members present but
not voting, in order to make quorum, is
growing in favor The call now bears the
name of 122 Democrats. 1t WAS handed to
Representative Holman today, the chair
man of the caucus. The members say
| that this matter must be settled within
their party as soon as the Bland bill has
| been disposed of.
Representative Paynter of Kentucky,
who started the call, has drawn up a new
rule which ne thinks overcomes the OBJ
Jectlons OF many members to his draft Of a
| rule for recording those present and rot
voting, without flying them. This rule
Incorporates new principle, that the
Affirmative votes on u call must be u
majority of those officially recorded both
as voting and as present and not voting in
order that the vote shall be a legal one to
decide the pending questions The rule is
as follows:
But should quorum fail to vote and
the point be made that no quorum has
voted, there shall be call of the house,
aud the yeas and nays on the pending
question shall at the same time be Or
dered. The clerk shall call the roll and
each member, as he answers to his name,
or Is brought before the house uuder the
proceedings of the call of the house, shall
vote on the pending question. If he. re-
fuse to vote or refuse to answer to his
name, then any member can announce to
the speaker that the member is present
aud failed TO vote or answer on such call;
whereupon the speaker shall direct the
CLERK to note the name of such memb Der on
the Journal as present. If those voting on
the question and those declining to vote
or answer TO their names shall together
make majority of the house, then the
speaker shall declare that n quorum is
constituted. and the pending question
shall be decided. provided the affirmative
vote Is a majority CT those voting and
those present and not voting"
Three propositions for "A new rule have
been drawn, which will find supporters in
the caucus-that devised by Journal Clerk
Crutchtield for fining members one DAYS

MEXICO IN TROUBLE.
CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. "a The sharp de-
cline in silver yesterday on the London
market sent exchange to unprecedented
figures. London exchange was quoted at
"a pence per dollar and New York exchange
at 81 02, rising an hour later two points.
The situation is exceedingly grave. Bank
ers fear a further decline. A number OF
dealers in European goods, who buy on
SIX months time direct from European
manufacturers. find their position peril

per cent IN exchange since their goods
We're bought, thereby wiping out their

tion of this class of goods has been steadily
declining as exchange has gone up.
The government has strained every re-
source and introduced every possible
economy, in order to meet its gold interest
and keep faith with public creditors: but
it cannot accomplish impossibilities. 1t

srecimens exhibited, and hence the
wearisome iteration of familiar pic
lures and statues will, il is hoped, be
avoided. But in the selection of a
theme the artists are entirely at hber-
ty. Hence the preponderance of the
nude and of those subjects which are
usually not attempted until late in a
career. There are also countless de-
tail studies after Bougereau and Corot.
Secretary Joe Evans anticipates that
the exhi ibition viii be a source of great
encouragement to the younger artists.
1t is superfuous to point out that here
tofore the complaint has been that
young Americans have been at hope

ton. with the artists of foreign lands.
This year. however, there promises TO
be an improvement. This, as has al

WASHINGTON. Feb. 24-WillIam II
Wilson, son and private secretary to the
congressman, received dispatch from hii
father today, asking that the premium or
his life insurance policy. due Feb. 81, be
looked after While there was nothing
unusual about the request, it was taken as
rather suggestive by Mr.. Wilson, Jr, and
he is quite uneasy The last heard from
the family was by letter from Kansas City,
as the party was about to depart for Mex
leo At that time Mrs. Wilson said that
her husband appeared to have thrown OH
ali the ill-effects of his first attack. Young
Mr.. Wilson communicated his fears to
some of his fathers friends, and 1t was
thought best that the son should leave for
Mexico unless some word were received
very soon. As against his worn-out sys-
tenn there is the indomltabie VIII and
courage of Mr.. Wilson, and 1t is the hope
of his friends that it will carry him
through the present ordeal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. PA telegram from
Consul General CriLteuden says that Con-
gresham Wilson is now ill with typhoid
fever The fever, according TO DR.. Provost,
is now in its tenth or twelfth day, and
must have developed about the time Mr.
Wilson left Kansas City. Mr.. Wilson was
ill when he arrived in the City of Mexico,
aud went at once to the springs at Aguas
Caiientes TO recuperate, thinking there
was not hing more the matter with him
than IA temporary break down from over
work At the springs however, instead
of improving, Mr.. Wilson became worse.
Consul General Crittenden was then
called upon TO recommend physician.
He sent down DR.. Provost, who prononnc-
ed it a case of typhoid fever and imme-
diately ordered that the patient be- re.
moved to GuadalajarA. This was on
Thursday last. ard that place was reached
this afternoon. Dr. Underwood and Il

The two interesting features will be
the exhibits entered for the Webb
prize and the compositions competing
for the Shaw fund. The Webb prize is
an annual one of three hundred dol
lars for the best landscape in the ex-
hibition painted by an American ar
tist under forty years of age. 1t will
be awarded by vote of the jury. Pic
lures entered for this prize may be
distinguished by letter '.W." The
Shaw fund of fifteen hundred dollars is
devoted to the purchase of compost
tion containing one or more figures,
painted in Oil by an American artist.
1t also is to be selected by jury. The
picture thus chosen viii be the prop
erty of Samuel T. Shaw, the donor OF
the fund.
When the catalogue of the exhibi-
tion comes to be compiled there will
appear upon it very imposing array
of names. Edwin A. Abbey is promi-
nent with studies in oil of old time
groups, and Kenyon Cox is conspicu-
Gus with specimens from the nude.
One of the contests of the exhi-
bition will be among pupils Of rival
masters. Kenyon Cox, who was
born in Baltimore, in 1855, was
pupil of the National academy and
of Bonnat, and has been a member of
the American society since 1883. Au-
gustus st. Gaudens was pupil of
Jouffroy and was born in Dublin. Ire
land, in 1S4S. He was elected to the
academy in 1877 and has long been one
of the most famous students of the
nude. William Sartain will be con-
spicuous with his studies after Bonnat,
whose pupil he was; of the women
Rosina Emmett Sherwood, pupil Of
William NJ. Chase and of L Academic
Julian, will be prominent among the
illustrators for studies Of childhood.
Julian Story has through his New
York agents sent some beautiful busts
of Italian subjects. He was long a
pupil of his famous father, W. w Story,
and was made a member in 1892.
The American colony in Rome will
be well represented. The Storys have
sent quite an installment of the works
of their proteges and the men in Paris
have forwarded many wonders of
merit. These young American artists
studying abroad are as yet quite un-
known to fame, and visitors to the ex-
hibition will not fail to be impressed
by the number of new names. This is
the result of the society's policy of en-
new talent. 1t is signif-
can't that many of the younger set
send studies of the nude. Yhe nude

PRIZE STUDY FOR MEDAL

Arihh hoouIhhAu' American Fine
Arts society. at No. 215 West Fifty
seventh street. in New York city. from
Monday, March 12, to Saturday, April
IA, inclusive. The subject of the nude
acquires a special prominence this
year in view of the now famous con-
demnation by the senatorial commit.
tee Of the figure submitted for prize
medal to the government by Augustus
st. Gaudens. Mr.. st. Gaudens is now
looked upon as a martyr by his CO.
workers and he has been put upon the
committee of selection for the coming
display in the jury which awards the
premiums of excellence at the exhibi-
ton.
1t is not to be supposed that the hun.
dreds OF specimens of the work of
American artists which will be shown
are to comprise only studies in the
nude. But the artists have arranged
what they consider the most fitting re-
buke to that narrowness of spirit
which, according to themselves, would
exclude the beautiful because it comes
unclothed. The very catalogue of the
society runs to the nude, as the accom-
panying pictures from it show, and
there is marked tendency on the part
Of all the exhibitors, whether they
submit specimens of statuary or of
painting, to work in the nude. Hence
this years exhibition will be to that
extent unparalleled in the nature Of
its inspiration.
The list Of exhibits will not be Off
cially completed until the first week in
March. Vanishing day will be Fri
day, March 9. and on that day exhibit,
