WASHINGTON.

means of livelihood and an incredible shrink
age of value"
At 5 o'clock Senator Quay was still speaking,
when Senator Cockrell asked him Ii he desired
to proceed.
Mr.. Quay said that he did not, but would con-
tinue his remarks when the bill was next taken
up.
Senator Cockrell then moved an Executive
session, which was agreed to-
After brief Executive session the Senate at
500 p. M, adjourned.
The fact that the Democratic caucus yester-
day decided to have formulated rule provid-
ing for the counting Of members present but
not voting did not have the effect of inducing
the Republicans to desist from the fiibustering
attitude 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
dividing when adjournment was had.
The Speaker held, however, in accordance
with the rule, that the journal must first be
read to officially disclose to the House the par
liamentary status. Mr.. Reed did not contest
the matter further, but when the journal of
yesterdays proceedings had been read Mr..
Boutelle objected to its approval.
Mr.. Dockery moved its approval. whereupon
Mr.. Boutelle forced the yeas and nays.
The Republicans declined to vote, and the
announcement-142 to 0-showing that the
Democrats were 81 short of quorum, and that
it was manifestly impossible to supply the de-
ficieney to-day, Mr.. Cultivate moved to adj
jourD.
The motion was carried, and the House, at
1890, adjourned.

In the House, resolution introduced by the
Committee on Rules, at the beginning of the
session, to fine members $40 for failing to vote
on the call of the yeas and nays, or for absence
without leave precipitated a season of filibus-
tering, which continued until 6:30 p M. when
adjournment was taken until l2 o'clock to-
morrow. Before adjournng a resolution was
adopted revoking leaves of absence and direct
ing the Sergeant-at-Arms to telegraph absent
members that their presence is required.
Mr.. Pendleton Tex, d.. introduced reso-
luton directing the Committee OH Rules to re-
port rule which will require the count of those
members present and not voting when a roll
call has developed the absence of quorum.
This rule is to be surrounded by such necessary
safeguards as will prevent the counting, either
by accident or intention, of members who are
not present in the hall when the question is put
or at some time during the pending roll-call
The rule is not applicable to motions that may
be determined by less than quorum.
Debate followed several offered amend
ments. and the Committee of the Whole rose
and the House adjourned.

The National tribune., 1894-04-19

The House adjourned before o'clock to-day
for the reason that there was nothing else they
could do. The Republicans, under the direc-
ton of Mr. Reed, filibustered, retaining from
voting and demanding quorum, and there
was not quorum of Democrats present
There was no question at issue, and nothing
in the situation. except the purpose on the part
of Mr.. Reed to force the Democrats to count a
quorum.
The question which blocks the way is a
proposition to revoke the order for the arrest of
members to make quorum, which was adopted
during the consideration of the election con.
tests. The order is no longer desired by any
one, but the motion to revoke it must be dis.
posed of in some way before business can be
done.
AS it became apparent that the Democrats
could not secure quorum to-day, Mr. Dockery
moved to adjourn, and the motion was carried
and at LAO p. IN. the House adjourned until to-
morrow.

THURSDAY. ApR1t 10

In the Senate, Mr.. PETER delivered the third
part of his speech on the tariff bill. He did not
define exactly how he would vote upon the bill
as 1t stands but made it clear enough that. il
it gave the benefits of protection to the manu-
facturers and refused them to the farmers. he
would be in favor of free trade. He would
stand by the Eastern manufacturers, however,
II their representatives in the Senate would help
HIM to retain the duty on wool, to put sugar on
the free list, aud to retain the sugar bounties.
He said that he would, at the proper time, pres
ent substitute that would embody these views.
The further urgent deficiency bill was under
consideration for two hours. but had not been
disposed of when the Senate, at p. M, ad-
journed.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL IL.

| In the Senate, ON the motion of Senator
| Blanchard, Of Louisiana, there was passed the
| House bill authorizing the Texarkana & Fort
! Smith Railway Company to bridge Little River,
in the State of Arkansas.
The Senate considered for some time the
urgent deficiency bill, but at o'clock it went
over without action and the tariff bill was taken
ment of yesterday.
Mr.. Hale began his speech against the tariff
bill. He spoke slowly and easily, in con YER
sational tone of voice, but there seemed lack
of interest in the question, and the Senate
chamber looked comparatively deserted.
MIR. PETER resumed his speech of last Thurs
day, in the course of which he said that the
bill Disseminated against the farmer, and that
the only thing the agricultural classes ask led
was that they should receive protection. as the
manufacturers did.
Mr.. Chandler presented an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill Apr opriat.
ing 100000 for the enforcement of the immi-
grafton and alien contract-labor laws.
The amendment also proposes to change the
title of the Superintendent of Immigration to
that of Commissioner General of Immigration
and he, in addition to his other duties, is to be
charged with the execution of the alien con-
tract labor laws.
At o'clock the tariff bill was suspended
Mr.. Villas asked to be relieved as Chairman of
the Committee on the Quadro- Centennial, and
Mr.. Walsh, the new Senator, was appointed
to the vacant craftsmanship and was also
made a member of the following additional
committees: Postoffces and Postroads, Re-
lations with Canada, National Banks. and
Private Land Claims; and Mr. Villas was made
Chairman of the Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads. The Senate then took up the
urgent deficiency bill, which was discussed
without action until o'clock.

public roads, and which was referred to the Com
| mittee on Education and Labor, was reported
| back adversely by Senator Kyle.

| Interior to inform the Senate of the names and
postofice addresses of all pensioners of the Gov

or cancelled since March L. 1893 and the reason
for such suspension cancellation.
Senator Aldrich announced that Senators of
tho Republican side of the chamber were very
anxious to proceed with the consideration of
the tariff bill in an orderly manner, which
would not interfere with the comfort of Sena-
tors. 81 would suggest" he went on, that
we are willing on this side Of the chamber, for
a week. at least that the Senate shall meet at
~ o'clock each day, and the tariff bill shall be
taken up at l o'clock and continue before the
Senate until o'clock each day without dila-
tory motions"

prevail until Monday next.
The hour of 2 arrived, the tariff bill was laid
before the Senate, and Mr.. Lodge spoke in op.
position to it. Senator Lodge concluded his
speech at 4:30 o'clock, with an eloquent perora-
ton, which was warmly applauded from the
galleries.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
In the House, after some routine business,
the consideration of the Postoffice appropria-
tion bill was resumed.
The pending question was point of order
raised by Mr. Henderson, Chairman of the Post.
Office Committee, against amendment offered
by Mr.. Dunphy, of New York, to prevent the
manufacture of postage stamps by the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing under the contract
recently awarded to it, The point of order was

pEJPCE g. JONES'S "PCLL."

THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO STRING THEIR
WIRES on CITY POLES WITHOUT PERMIT.
The loose methods of the Board OF Electrical Con-
troll under Tammany auspices have been SHOWN IN
the discovery that Pearce & Jones. who nave been
doing business for twelve years, have forty miles
OF wires strung along the streets. without reg
ular permit from the city authorities. The cond-
OF affairs. II appears not discovered until
the company applied to the board for FRANCHISE
under the name of the Special Fire Alarm signal
Company. For six months the concern has been
operating under the latter title and style. some or
the wires it operates are underground and some
are still overhead. Until recently they were all
fastened to the poles OF the Fire Department Now
they are strung not only to these poles bur 70 the
poles conduts and brackets OF telephone and tele-
graph companies For all the privileges which this
corporation has enjoyed Il has never paid any, nine
to the city using its streets and property as II IL
their sole owner.
There is a strong suspicion that this way o. do
inc business could not have continued so many
Years unless Pearce q Jones had been possessed
OF n "pull of large dimensions.
subway Commissioners kearney, TO whom the
board referred the application OF the company SAID
Yesterday that the first he knew OF the concern
was when the Special Fire Alarm Signal Company
filed the ap2ca ton with the commission. Mr.
Kearney has been engineer OF the board since IT'S
forma ton but he could not explain how this state
Of things could exist. The matter, he said, would
be thoroughly investigated The only reason he
could give why no reports included the company
among the onerators was that the commissioners
presumed that its right to string It's wires ante
dated the boards establishment.
