The fruit ard vegetable market Was
well stocked today by the arrival OF the
steamer California Wednesday evening.
Prices remained about the same.
There has been talk on all kinds OF
grain. but the situation Of the market
on hay. which Is a sert OF half brother
to the cereals, has escaped discussion It
~ said by several who have handled
dried grass this year that there has
not been q better season fer many years
than the one just passed The price mas
remained firm and the supply and de-
mand very good This ID probably owing
to the fsht that stock raising is becomins
more and more In favor among the farm
ers. The consumption from that source
has Increased greatly. while the Quanu-
ties formerly furnished 10 stables in the
city and logging camps have decreased.
The new hay will he coming In about
August l. At this time of year the hay
is not 80 heavy. but Is of better quality.
naturally as the season advances the quail
Ity OF the produce declines as the pick Of
the crop IL taken IN the first part OF the
season The small baled hay Is now nearly
all In. and IL IL expected that by the
expiration Of thirty days. there VIII be
M more on hand. Dealers are paying
S. 20 TO 81 per ton for Puget sound hay.
which Is jobhing at g. Hay from east
OF the mountains Is jobbing at $ll to 3is
per ton.
There has been a stump IN feed wheat.
A short time ago dealers were paying 80
to $3.50 per ton to the brokers for feed
wheat. which is now being bought for 3is
per ton and is jobbinS at tN9.2.

AMERICAN NAVAL ENGINEERS.
Gen. Francis A. Walker Indorses Sepa-
tor ~nnfIn.s Bill. \nM pandInn.

Washington City. Jan. 9.-Gen. Francis
A Walker. president of the Massschu-
setts Institute of Technology. has written
81 very earnest letter in support of Sena-
tor Squire's naval engineering and edu-
cational measure. He declares that any
one must be impressed with the fact that
the Squire bill deeply concerns the de-
fense Of the country. He maintains that
the condition of the corps of naval en-
gineers. by reason Of having an INSULT
cient number of officers, Is most painful
and distressing. and affects the honor of
the nation. He therefore appeals to the
congress OF the United States 10 give con-
sideration TO the reorganization Of the
corps of naval engineers As 10 the quail
idcatiOn of the scientific and technical
schools of our land 10 train officers for
the engineer corps Gen. Walker has very
positive views He believes that when
such institutions as he has the honor Of d.
recting are brought into friendly rivalry
with the work Of the naval academy IL
viii be shown that the young men from
these colleges can be developed to become
highly trained and scientific naval eng-
ueers.

THE NEW HOUSE RULES.
A Change In the Method of Counting
Quorum.

Washington City, Jan. AT the begin
ming OF this congress the house adopted
for its parliamentary code the rules OF the
last Republican congress, the Fitty-hrst
with any changes IL might adopt on the
recommenda tions OF the committee on
ru.es These changes were reported 10 the
house by the committee today, but with
one exception are uDimportant The eS-
ception is the mode OF establishing the
presence OF a quorum. which, after the
precedent laid down by Speaker Reed in
the Fifty-frst congress, became a most
important point of parliamentary practice
In the last congress Speaker Crisp
achieved the same result which Mr.. Reed
obtained by a rule under which two men,
bers were DESIGNATED TO note those present
and not voting a rof call. Ihe COM
mittee on rules now proposes rule intro
duced by J. Randolph Tucker, Of Virginia,
ia the FOrty-sixth congress. The rue Is
as follows
Whenever a quorum fails 10 vote on
any question and a quorum is not present,
and objection is made for that cause, there
shan be a call of the house and the ser
gesnt-at-arms snail forthwith proceed 10
10 bring in absent members, and the yeas
and nays on the pending question shall al
the same time be considered as ordered.
The clerk shall call the roll. and each
members as he answers TO his name may
vote on the pending question, and after
the roll call is completed each member
arrested shall be brought by the sergeant
alarms before the house, whereupon he
shall be noted as present, discharged from
arrest, and given an opportunity TO vote,
and his vote shall be recorded. Ii those
voting on the question and those who are
present and decline 10 vote shall together
MAKE a ma jority of the house the speaker
shall declare that quorum is constituted.
and the pending question shall be decided
as majority of those voting shall appear.
and thereupon further proceedings under
the call shall be considered as dispensed
with"
Another new rule provides that the
speaker shall entertain only one melton 10
adjourn. and no other diiatory motion aft
er a report has been made by the commit
tee on rules until the report has been fully
disposed Of. The rule 10y which the pre-
vious question can be ordered only by "a
majority of the members present, II a
quorum" is changed TO "a majority of
members voting, il quorum Is present"
