QUORUM ooUNrINs.

The Bsst Possible Methods for Formu-
IatinG Rules TO Be Adopted.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-As soon as the
brief and iruitless session OF the house
ended today, the plans OF the committee
ON rules were changed SO az TO have a
meeting and begin the formulation of
the quorum.counting rule. 1t had been
intended not to take up the subject
until next week, but the enforced recess
OF this afternoon gave plenty of time
to go over the many plans submitted.
Mr.. Onthwaite, OF the committee, said
that the first step would be TO examine
into these various plans with q view to
extracting the best possible method.
There was evidence OF reaction on the
Democratic side today. An under
current of intense hostility to quorum
counting existed. The "A who voted
against the proposed rule are nucleus
of this feeling, and with other members
who are arriving. 1t is estimated that
ully third OF the Democratic mem ber-
ship of the house is opposed to the rule.
This makes Mr.. Reed the master OF the
situation until the rules come before
the house, as the Democratic op-
ponents to the rule and the
minority under Mr.. Reed would to-
gether form an opposition strong enough
to defeat the rule. This has made it
clear to the friends Of the rule that they
must shape it to secure the Republican
endorsement, as without the endorse.
ment the caucus action could never be
carried into effect in the house. There
is every evidence that the elements will
come together, however, as the Demo.
Gratis are now so fully committed to
counting quorum that they do not feel
disposed to disguise their action bv an
important rule, while. on the other
hand, the Republicans are ready to &C.
cept anything embodying the substance
of the quOrum-counting, without Quib-
bling over details.
The fact that the Democratic caucus
yesterday decided to have formulated q
rule providing for the counting of mem.
bers present but not voting did not have
the effect OF inducing the house Repub-
licans to desist from the filibustering
they have assumed throughout the
week. As soon as the chaplain had
completed his prayer. Mr.. Reed raised
the point OF order that the pending
question was the approval OF the journal
of yesterday, on which the house was
divided, and an adjournment was had. &
The speaker held. however, in accord
ance with the rule that the journal must
first be read to officially disclose to the
house the parliamentary status. Mr..
Reed did not contest the mater further.
but when the journal of yesterdays pro-
ceedings had been heard, Mr.. Boutelle
objected to it's approval. Mr.. Dockery
moved it's approval, whereupon Mr..
Boutelle forced the yeas and nays. The
Republicans declined to vote on the
amendment, l42 to 0, showing that the
Democrats were 81 short of a quorum
and that it was manifestly impossible to
make up deficiency today. Mr.. Outh-
waite moved to adjourn. The motion
was carried and the house at IL 40 ad-
journed.
Mr.. Reed was q center of attraction as
he entered the house today. His asso-
ciates on the Republican eide gathered
about him and warmly congratulated
him on the action OF the Democratic

house yesterday in voting for quorum
counting rule. 1t WAS regarded as per-
sonal victory for Mr.. Reed. Democrats
joined in good-nRtured congratulations,
Mr.. Cochran remarking that Mr.. Reed
was no longer the original only czar, as
the Democrats had all decided to be
czars.
Mr.. Reed conferred with Messrs.
DinRley. Burrows, Cannon and other
Republican leaders as to the course to
be taken until the rule should be
brought in. He would authorize no
statement Of what would be done. in
his talk with members, however, it was
agreed that Mr.. Reed would hold the
minority to vote for any rule counting
quorum, A friend Of Mr.. Reed remark
ed that it was hardly wise to announce
policy, and thus place your cards face
up on the desk. 1t has been made
clear, however, that the only thing that
Mr.. Reed will contend for is rule free
from ambiguity and which will accom-
pliah the end as we'll as acknowledge the
principles for which he has SO long con-
tended.
Representative Dingley OF Maine
talked with Mr.. Reed and with many OF
the Republican members as to the pros
| pectlve course OF action. Mr. Dlngloy
would not outline any policy, but gave
some personal views which reflect the
general feeling among Republicans.
"While am not authorized to state
what course will be adopted, it seems
evident that no opposition will be made
to rule which clearly recognizes the
principle that an actual, visible quorum
can be counted to do business. rule
OF that nature would be such an en-
dorsement of the rule enforced by Mr..
Reed in the Ffty-frst congress that
there would be every reason why we
should accept it with satisfaction. Nor
is it likely that questions would be
raised agsinat unessential details so long
as the substance of the parliamentary
principle Tor which we have contended
is recognized"
After conference of three hours to-
day ex-Speaker Reed, Mr.. Catchingt
and Mr.. Cultivate did not complete the
new counting rule directed by the
house. Mr.. Crisp said at the conclusion
of the conference that a rule would
probably be reported to the house Mon

heard the statement and Immediately
telegraphed it to headquarters.

disinolined to read il to the committee,
but upon the request of Mr.. Mackenzie,
who claimed his side was entitled to
know its contents, did go.
The telegram was very brief. It was
dated Chicago and said: Mackenzie lie

The dispatch was signed by George 81.

aAREErr's CLAIM FOR pARDoS
He Claims That Gamblers Jobbsd Eim
into San QusntiD.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.--A strange
story WAS told by NJ. r. Higgins, the in
surance commissioner, before the board
OF prison commissioners at San Quentin
today.
F. NJ. Garrett, man so years OF age,
serving q sentence OF 10 years for an AL
legged indecent crime, was believed to be
innocent. and the board recommended
him to Governor Markham for pardon.
Mr.. Higgins said that Garrett had been
27 years in the United States internal
revenue service in New Orleans, and dur
ing that time his wife adopted female
child. There was trouble over the little
girl, which ended in a separation from
Mrs. Garrett, and then he reared and
educated the child.
When the boom was at its height in
Southern California he moved to Los
Angeles with this adopted daughter.
Garrett married again and became the
father of a pretty girl. He was pecu'
liarly adapted to secret service work,
and found employment in watching
thieves and gamblers who had drifted
into Los Angeles. But in this he in

The Conscience Fund has figured
in the statements of the treasury de-

L. crislnan in Lippincott's. 1t was
opened by the register of the treasury
department in 1871 and appears in the
general fund of the government under
the head of miscellaneous receipts.
Like other assets of the treasury it can
be used for any purpose that congress
may deem proper Its origin was due
to the fact that away back in the be-
ginning Of the present century some
unknown person began to feel the sharp
thrusts Of conscience. In some way he
had defaulted the government, and
could find relief only by returning the
money to the treasury. This was the
beginning Of the account showing the
receipts Of moneys by the government
from unknown persons Since then the
fund has been accumulating in large
and small sums, until at the present
time 1t aggregates nearly Ss70,00O. Re-
mittances are received nearly every

considerably, and sometimes a fort
