Counting Quorum in the House Of
representatives.

The committee on rules in the House
of Representatives has reported II
favor of adopting the mode proposed
by Hon. J. Randolph Tucker in the
47th Congress as follows:
Whenever quorum fails to vote
on any question and a quorum is not
present and objection is made for that
cause, there shall be call of the house,
and the sergeant alarms shall forth
with proceed to bring in absent mem
bers, and the yeas and nays on the
pending question shall at the same
time be considered as ordered. The
clerk shall call the roll. and each mem
Der 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-at arms before the house,
whereupon he shall be noted as pres.
ent, discharged from arrest and given
an opportunity to vote, and his vote
shall be recorded If those voting on
the question. and those who are pres
ent and decline to vote, shall together
make a majority of the house, the
speaker shall declare that quorum is
constituted, aud pending question
shall be decided as the majority of
those voting shall appear. And there
upon further proceedings under the
call shall be considered dispensed
with"
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San says:
IN adopting the rule proposed in
the Forty sixth congress by John Ran
dolph Tucker of Virginia, for securing
a quorum in the house, the house
committee on rules believe they have
shut off opposition from the Demo
cratic side and at the same time
secured rule which will work very
satisfactorily. In every debate upon
the rules that has occurred since the
opening of the Fifty-frst congress Mr..
fuckers rule has been referred to,
and the fact that it was bitterly op-
posed by Mr.. Reed, Mr. Garfield, who
was then member of the house, and
other prominent Republicans, has
frequently been cited by the Demo
Gratis to show the inconsistency of the
Republican position. The experiences
of both parties in recent years have
shown, however, the necessity of a
rule to compel the participation in the
proceedings of the house of members
present who refuse to vote. and there
is likely to be little opposition to the
rule. Mr.. Reeds rule was to count
members present and some who were
not present as voting, while the
Democrats detailed members to note
the presence of the members who de
clined to participate in the proceed |
ings. Mr.. fuckers rule provides that
when the presence of quorum>shas |
been demonstrated a majority of those
voting shall have power to pass a bill, |
no matter how limited the number
may be-
When this rule was first proposed by
Mr.. Tucker, Mr.. Reed commended that
The constitution required the exercise
II the judgment of quorum to pass a
pill, and not its visible presence. Mr..
fairfield declared the proposition of SO
evolutionary character that it
would disturb the peace of the United
States. Now, however, the Republi-
'ans have adopted it. and the Demo
rats are not likely to oppose its
by the house."

Pig Iron Production.

Not only was the production of pie
iron last year greater than in any
previous year of our history, but the
unsold remainder at the end of the
year was smaller absolutely and in
proportion to the years production
than in any preceding year since 1889
The unsold stock of pig iron was re.
duced during the year 1894, but that
was year of very light production; in
1895 there was large reduction 10 spite
of the largest production on record.
This shows how active was the demand,
The stock in manufacturers hands and
not destined for their own use was di.
minished during the year 1853, 1856 tons.
In addition to the stocks held by man
ufacturers at the end of 1894 there
was on storage and covered by war
rants an additional quantity of So, $40
tons. This makes the quantity of un-
sold pig iron at the end of 1894 661. 1928
tons, and it the unsold stock in the
hands OF manufacturers at the end of
1895 be deducted, the increase Of the
unsold stock during the year was
216,996 tons. The abstract of the
statistical tables of the bulletin of the
Iron and Steel Association. from
which the figures for 1895 are TAX en-
does not state whether the unsold
stock reported at the end of 1895 in
cludes pig iron on storage; but as this
iron is separately stated in Mr.
Swink's annual reports from the IN
sold iron in manufacturers hands we
presume it does not, and that tho re-
duction of stocks during last year was
l5S, 346 tons. The increased produc-
tion OF Bessemer iron. owing to the
increased use Of steel in building. was
enormous. The greatest prod of
Bessemer pig iron in any previous
year to 1895 was A, 444, 041 tons in 1892
The next year the production dropned
nearly million tons, and only q little
Of this was recovered in 1894. But in
1895 the production was 1928. CAS- tons.
This is an increase of Az per cent over
the year before and 1855 per cent
over the maximum production in 1892.
A great part of last years heavy pro
duction was sold at the high prices of

Guilford College, N. c., Aug. 25.-
(SpeciaD is struck by the mark
ed improvement in the surroundings
here. The campus, hitherto dotted be-
tween the four large buildings, by cot
tages, barns and other such buildings,
is entirely free from these, and the
green grass is now growing all over
the grounds making a setting for the
buildings which is indeed beautiful.
The college year may be properly
said to have opened at the annual re-
>ception last Sunday night. The aver
age number of students for the open
ing is in attendance. The faculty has
for the first time passed a resolution
against hazing. They declare "that
forbidden" and the penalty for the
decided by the faculty.
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson has Just re-
turned from the Gulf coast of Florida.
As the museum already contains w6l
selected collection of common birds,
he devoted his time to securing those
rarer specimens which appear in that
State.
The pelican, cormorant, man-o'-war
DlTu, SWdlION~ ldIlCu hIJe, sLuDluSd,
grey kingbird, the dusky duck, and
pair of the roseate spoonful are among
the collection. Most of these are very
large, some with an expanse of wings
of eight or nine feet.
His scientific work will be of inter
est. On July 1 he. secured the English
sparrow, the first recorded from cen
trail Florida, and also the hooded
warbler" the first taken in that sec
ton.
He secured and has about completed
the classification of over fifty varieties
of shells, mounted crabs, and other
curios of the tropical sea. The growth
of the cabinet here under his manage
ment has been phenomenal. Guilford

General Hooth,s Manifest,

London, March 10.--A representative of the United Press obtained an inter- view this morning with General Booth, commander of the Salvation Army, who has just arrived in London from India General Booth said that he was busily considering the policy of the army in America but had not yet been able to formulate statement on the subject, The general handed the reporter an ad- vance copy of the War Cry, which con- tained the announcement that imme diately upon his arrival in London Gen eral Booth had addressed manifesto to the officers and soldiers of the Saliva ton Army in America declaring that although his heart was torn and he was sorely wounded, he was neverthe- less determined to conduct the govern ment of the army irrespective of per sons. If he had been willing to make an exception in favor of one person in order to retain the loyalty of that person he would deservedly have lost forever the confidence and respect of all honest hearted men and the approval of his own conscience"

Mystery of Miss sullivan's Murder in Pat-

Mystery of Miss .sullivan's Murder in Pat-
 ersen still Unsolyed
 Paterson, N J., March 10.-The Sulli- van murder mystery still remains un- solved. The police are devoting con- siderable effort to trying to fasten on some connection between the man Nich- olas Cole and the murder, but thus far have failed, and, in fact, have little hope of being successful.
 Cole was still in jail this morning awaiting examination on charge that he assaulted Miss Lucy Van Riper on Sunday night He had been unable to get S2,000 bail Two of his friends, Charles Morgan and Lewis Fredericks, were prepared to furnish a bond last night, but when they learned all the circumstances surrounding the mans arrest. and that his cratic actions had drawn over him cloud of suspicion in the Sullivan matter, they declined to go bail for him.
 The police have thoroughly investl- gated Coles past history and looked up his whereabouts on the night of the HiuFueI. They dTe CoHStIdiiieu ~ pt- lieve that there are no grounds for con- meeting him with that crime.
 The mans record is the only thing against him. The police say that he has recently insulted several women in the street besides Miss Van Riper, The town council last night took steps toward increasing the reward 4nf- fered for the arrest of Miss Sullivan's s murderer to 5000, The council will meet tonight and will undoubtedly of fer the reward.
 Cole was committed to the county jail for thirty days for disorderly conduct by Recorder Senior at noon. This ae- ton effectuaIiy disposes of him for the present.
 A new theory as to the murder of Miss Sullivan has been developed. A Cin- cinnati firm is said to have recently been sending samples of drug to this city A physician declares that he was called in to attend one man who had | tried the drug, with the result that his family believed that he had gone crazy. l The physician has suggested that the recent assaults may have been the re- suit of the free distribution of this drug, which is of character prohibit | ed by law.

pr. Jameson on Trial.

London, March 10.--Dr. Jameson and the officers who accompanied him in the Transvaal raid were again arraign- ed in the Bow street police court this morning, and the charges against them were renewed. Major Coventry and Captain Gosling were added to the list of accused,
 The court room was crowded with members of the arlstocracy, among whom were the Duke of Abercorn, the Earl and Countess of Coventry and Lady Annaly, Many members of the house of commons were also present. Sir Richard Webster, attorney general, and MT R. B. Finlay, solicitor general, conducted the prosecution, and Sir Ed ward Clarke, lG. H. Carson, M. F., and Sir Frank Lockwood appeared for the defence Magistrate Sir John Bridge presided.
 Sir Richard Webster, opening the case for the prosecution, said that Jameson's expedition into the Transvaal had long been planned, but the rank and file of his party were led to believe that they were to proceed against a native chief, On December 29 however, Major Cov- entry informed the men that they were not going to fight the chief, but were going straight to Johannesburg. Df. Jameson, at Mafel1ing, on December 30, said to his followers that they were go- ing to the assistance of English women and children in Johannesburg, whose lives and property were in danger. Sir Richard then described Jameson's cut ting of the telegraph wires behind his expedition, and also described the tele- graph messages recalling Jameson and warning him of the penalties of his acts.
 Sergeant Hay of the Jameson troop CTS was then called to the witness stand and he gave detailed testimony confirm ing the attorney generals allegations.
 Sergeant Hay testified that several of his comrades in the Bechuanaland po- lice at first refused to join the expedi- tion, and asked their superiors whether the movement was in obedience to the orders of the queen or the British South Africa company.
 To these questions he said Colonel Gray replied in a speech to the men be- fore the expedition left Mafeking: "I cannot say that we are going by the
 
 will say that we are going to fight for the supremacy of the British flag in South Africa,
 Hearing this declaration, Sergeant Hay said most of the men decided to go, and did go but ten of them re- mained behind.
 Dr. Jameson and his companions were attired in conspicuously stylish gar ments and appeared to be perfectly at ease. The hearing was orderly, and characterized by none of the noisy demonstrations which marked the first appearance of the raiders in the Bow street court. The court room was crowd- ed, mostly with distinguished persons, who were in full sympathy with Jame- son and his companions, but there was no cheering, either upon the entrance or exit of the defendants.
