their customary holidays without per-
mission from the House. And as at any
time leave OF absence may be refused
or withdrawn a quorum may always be
readily secured.
BY the provisions OF the rule which IS
to be eaforced, the Sergeant-at-Arms
will be required to notify the Speaker
every day how many members are alb
sent without leave and give their
names. These will be announced by
the Speaker to the House, will be ia
ken down By the stenographer and in
corporated as part OF the proceedings
in the Congressional Record. Aud thus
the non-attendance of a member will be
placed on record and every representa-
tive's constituents may know how often
be is present.
The deduction from salaries for alb
senteeism is expected to maintain
quorum in the House, and the rule is a
good one, which should have been en-
forced long ago. II is only on account
OF the absence Of Democratic members
that the House has been so hampered
in It's work. The Democrats have con-
troll Of that body, and they are re-
sponsibls for the laws that may
be- passed. They have no right
to expect the Republicans TO help them
aud the quorum counting rule is an ad-
mission of Democratic weakness which
should never ba made with a Demo
cratic majority Of nearly a hundred in
the House. OF course it is the duty Of
every member Of Congress to vote upon
pending questions, but the Democrats
are strong enough to act though not
Republican were present in the House,
and the rule to enforce attendance is
the only one necessary.
But the determination Of the House
to facilitate the transaction Of business
is to be commended. With limit to
debate, full attendance and every
body voting, there will be a stop to fill
clustering and business will be mere
speedily transacted.

BUENos AYREs, April 1.-THE re-
mains of the Brazilian rebel fleet COM
manded by Admiral DeMello, which ar
rived eff this port last night are the
subject Of extensive exchanges OF tele-
graphic messages between the autneri.
ties OF this place, and the Brazilian
government, through the Brazilian
minister here. The rebel ships are
the Republica, Me tero, Iris, Urano
and Esperanza. They are in
very dlapidated condition and the
re bells On board Of them are suffering
from sickness, wounds and lack OF
proper food supplies. Their temporary
wants have been supplied, with the con-
sent of the Brazilian Minister, who has
received advices from Rio de Jsneiro
saying that general amnesty will De
granted to the insurgeDt rank aud hle,
and that the Brazilian government will
pay the quarantine expenses OF the
ships if they are surrendered to the Bra
lillian Ministers Consequently the Ar
gentine government, with the consent
of the rebel leaders, isnow superintend-
ing the delivery Of the five war vessels
to the Brazilian Minister, and this will
have been accomplished by the time
this dispatch reaches the United States.
The crews of the rebel ships are being
embarked at the LaZaretto here and
will be cared for until further orders
are received from Rio de Janeiro. II is
believed that when the men and ships
are ia a proper condition they will re-
Join the Brazilian vessels, under govern
ment officers, and return TO Rio de ia
metro.
President PeixotO's government has
notified the government OF Uruguay
that the expenses and passage money
home Of the insurgents who landed in
the department of Rocha, Uruguay,
will be paid by the Brazilian govern
ment and that they may all, with the ex-
eeption OF the leaders, return TO Brazil
with no fear of being severely punished
for the part which they have taken in
the rebellion.
Nothing seems to be known OF the
ultimate destination OF Admiral DE
Mello aud General Salgado, though II Is
believed that the former will take the
earliest opportunity OF escaping to
some foreign country, where he can
hide himself for the rest Of his life. On
all sides the utmost contempt is express
ed for Admiral De Mello, whose deser-
ton of Admiral Da Cana is looked upon
as being a piece OF cowardly treachery
which even the Admiral's most intimate
supporters condemn. To such an ex-
tent does this feeling prevail that 1t Is
openly stated that Da Cana proposes
TO seek out Admiral De Mello and COM
pei him to meet him in mortal combat
Those who should know Admiral De
Mello believe he will take care TO avoid
any such meeting. II the rebel Admiral
falls into the hands OF President Peixoto
there is little doubt that he will be
promptly tried by court martial and
shot,

1t will be remembered that the REGIS

Frank to Katie Fent, and the subse-

Mace of John Durr, at Forty-third
street The morning Of the marriage,
and while Katie was still Fent, she was
strolling in that locality and saw three
Italian musicians on the street, ana
hired them TO come TO Johns and play
for the celebration. The fellows were
on hand with their harps and hddles.
The crowd did not pan out, and the nay
sicians had few TO play to, but they
wanted their pay just the same. They
did not get it then, but are to get it.
The musicians sued Katie for the money
and the hearing was before the Squire

witnesses in attendance, who had been
