BEFORE CONGRESS.
Programme for the Week in House

Programme for the Week in House
aud Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The struggle
over the adoption of the new quorum
counting rule, decided upon by the DEM
ocratic caucus last Friday. will be the
feature of the coming week in the House.
The details of the rule have not yet been
formulated by the Democratic members
of the Committee on Rules, composed OF
Speaker Crisp, and Messrs. Cultivate
and Catchings, but it will probably be
ready to submit to the full committee
when it meets tomorrow morning.
Inasmuch as about one-third of the
Democrats are violently opposed to any
quorum counting rule, it will be impos-
slble for the Democrats alone, should the
Repu blicans decline to vote, and the
Democratic opposition sustain their Opln-
ions to the extent of declining to vote to
make a quorum, to make such vote. In
other words, unless the Democrats should
frame rule not satisfactory to the Re-
publicans, the latter could, if they chose,
prevent its adoption.
The Republicans will, however, shortly
acquiesce in the adoption Of any rule that
contains the essential principle of quo
rum present, but not vOting," those
members who decline to respond to their
names. This is the Parliamentary prin-
ciple which Mr.. Reed has been contest
ing ever since the end of the Fifty first
| Congress, and it is expected when the
rule is presented he will make one of the
greatest speeches of his life.
Owing to the death of Senator Vance,
the House will probably adjourn imme-
diately upon meeting tomorrow, and the
fight over the new rules will be post
poned until Tuesday. 1t is probable that
| bat little time will be allowed for debate,
and the chances are that when the House
adjourns Tuesday evening the quorum
counting rule will have been adopted,
and filibustering of the kind which has
characterized the proceedings of the
House for the past three years will be a
thing of the past.
AS soon as the new order of things has
been inaugurated in the House consider
alton OF the appropriations bills will be
resumed, and will consume the remain
der of the week.
The Senate will adjourn soon after the
hour of meeting tomorrow, out of re-
spect to the memory of Senator Vance.
With the exception OF the Chinese
treaty, which is to be considered on
Tuesday, and the routine morning busi-
ness of each day, the remainder of the
week promises nothing but continual
lion of tariff debate. There is little doubt
the Senate will accept the agreement
reached between Senators Harris ana Aid
rIch. providing that general debate on the
tariff shall not be interrupted by roll-calls
ar other business. and shall continue each
dav from TO 3 O'Clock. This will proDa-
biy preclude all parliamentary contests
and pave the way Tor dozen or so oi
tariff snpacneS.

WAsHINGToN, April 15.-Senator Vance
of North Carolina died at his home, 1726
Massachusetts avenue, in this city, at
10:40 last night. He had a stroke of apo
plexy this morning. He had been suffer-
ing for some time from paralysis and
complication of diseases, but the end was
sudden and unexpected as he was re-
gaining his health and was thought to be
on the road to recovery. He was COM
PEELED during the winter to leave the Sell

somewhat better, and in view of the
struggle over the tariff he returned to
Washington. He was a member OF the
