THE SUSPENSION REMOVED.

The Commiasio ner Of Pensions De-
 cides That He Has No Right 10
 Withhold the Pension of Judge
 Long of Michigan.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The commission CT of pensions has decided, in view of the passage of the sot of December 2l, 1893, declaring pensions 8 vested right, that he no longer has the right to withhold the pension of Judge Long of the supreme court of Michigan, and has accordingly ordered that the suspension of his pension be removed.
 This was taken as the result of an opin- ion by the attorney general to the effect that as no notice of the intended action in stopping his pension had been given Judge Long, his case clearly came within the act of December 21 last. Judge Long took his case to the supreme court of the District of Columbia on a mandamus to compel the commissioner to resume the payment of his pension of $72 per month. The action of the commissioner renders unnecessary any decision of the court in the mandamus proceedings. It Is believed that this revocation of the order of sus- pension will be followed by like action in similar suspended cases.

A 1N16k6 kSS S4TOATlONs Democrats Unable to Get . Vote in
 the House to Proceed-Pigott and
 DeForest Voted to Make q Quorum
 A Large Number of the Democrats
 Were Not Recorded.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. "A study of the last vote in the house to day disoloses some interesting facts. The four members who voted for the Routelle resolutions were Aessrs. Adams, the new member from Pennsylvania, and Mccall of Massachu- setts, who is opposed to flibuste.ing on principle, republicans, and Messrs. Pence of Colorado and Boen of Minnesota, popu- usts.
 The absence or failure to vote of demo- cratic representatives sufi iciently accounts for the inability of the majority to pro- ceed. Of the democratic members from New Eoglsnd only Messrs. Everett of Massachusetts, Plgott and DsForest of Connecticut voted to make @ quorum; ten of the eighteen democratic members from New York were not recorded; six demo- ora|s from New Jersey were represented by MT. English alone, and the six of Louis jana all failed to respond to their names except MT. Blanchard.
 By not being within the rail when their names were called MT. Catchings of Miss issippi, . member of the committee on rules, and MT. Bynum, of the committee on ways and means, failed to get their names on the roll, although they after wards tried to make good the oversight. Messrs. Cochran of New York, and Stevens of Massachusetts, also members of the committee on ways and means, were not recorded. Nr. Cochran was not at the capitol.
 In view of these facts the prospect of immediate passage of the order fixing 6 date for vote upon the passage of the bill which the committee on rules reported be- comes matter of interesting speculation. It is said by some republicans that the order cannot be passed to morrow. Re- publicans have decided, 1t is said, to re- fuse consent to the printing in the Record of undelivered speeches.
 The committee on rules will fix upon the 2sd or 23l inst, according to one of the members, as the date of taking a vote.

 "Oar position is just this: We hold and charge that this bIll is intended to and will result in the destruction of many Ameri- can industries. That being the case we simply decline to aid the democrats in bringing the matter before the house. We say the majority must take the responsi- biilty of initiating proceedings and must have their own quorum.
