\VASIIISOTOX , Fob. 23. In the house today
Mr. AVyko of Illinois introduced a lengthy
preambloand resolution calling attention to
the "frequent falsifications of the journal"
by the arbitrary action of the speaker in
counting a quorum of tbo members not pres
ent , etc. Special reference is made to the
trouble of last Friday and Saturday when ,
Mr.Vyko says , these arbitrary , unlawful
ami unconstitutional acts were done In pur
suance of n plan concocted by tlio leaders of
the party lust overthrown by an overwhelm
ing majority of tbo people at the polls and In
the closing hour of its power , to install for life
into the now federal judicial ofllccs then and
there being created for that purpose nnuinbcr
of repudiated and defeated candidates of tb'o
party nt that election , in dellancp of , and
against the will of n largo majority of the
voters of the country. All of those acts make
it apparent that an Jnjury is threatened to
the liberties of the people and constitutional
free government by tbo arbitraiy and unlaw
ful action of the chair , which may become
calamitous and irreparable , and , Inasmuch
as there seems to be no compulsory restrain
ing power in existence , except through the
action of n majority in the repeetivo bodies ,
which Is usually in sympathy with tbo pre
siding ofllccr tbo committee , on judiciary is
directed to report forthwith a joint
resolution , submitting for ratification
nn amendment to the constitu
tion , providing for tbo Impeachment
and removal from ofllco with suitable penal
ties for trial , cither upon indictment or in
formation in the courts of ttio speaker of the
house or presiding officer of the senate who
shall wilfully falsify or falsely makeup , alter
or changu or cause or permit tbo same to bo
done by the cleric , the journal of the proceed
ings of either , by connlir g and entering there
as.present tlm name or names of any member
or members who slum not in fact uo present
at the time , for the purpose of making a
quorum or otherwise. The amendment , shall
provide that such ofi'cnso bo a high crime or
misdemeanor , with such penalties , line find
Imprisonment , removal from ofllco and dis -
qimlllicatlon for holding ofllce , as tbo com
mittee shall commensurato.
What the Church Think * .
MoNTiir.Ai. , Fob. S ) . It is stated on the
best of authority that the priests of the
province of Quebec have received confiden
tial instructions to ube nil their inlluonco to
secure a victory for Sir John 3IacIonald
in tbo present election contest.
The church Is opxjsod | to any policy that
will lend to greater Intercourse between the
United States and Canada , as it fears n
dimlnualloa of its ( tower from such an ar
rangement. Archbishop Fabro in a circular
loiter to the clergy .says ;
"lienenth the British flag which
protects rather than dominates , wo enjoy the
most precious liberty wuictlonod by solemn
treaties nail which preserves to us , intact ,
our laws , our language , and above all , our re
ligion , in return lor these sentiments and
acts of perfect liberty which you have never
ceased to offer upon onchnml every occasion. "

questions Involved In the receat decision of
the supreme court In the case of thortt , 1'aul ,
Minneapolis .t Manitoba railway company ,
against Hansom Phelps ; and tolnquiro what
legislation Is necessary to protect settlers on
the lands of the company or to remunerate
thorn for tbo loss of their homes.
The conference report ' on the bill
providing for an allotment of lands
in severally to Indians was then agreed
to. Mr , Morgan made a personal
statement In connection with thoU'asldng-
ton dispatch to the St. Louis Republic com
mending Vest's speech In opposition to the
Nicaragua canal bill , anil stating that It was
dinicult to sec bow any reasonably sane and
reasonably honest man could support tbo
measure. There was no objection , Morgan
said , to certain criticisms being inado on
private account , but the persons \yho made
this had the privilege of the Moor of the sen
ate through , the indulgence of thodomocr.itic
senate. Ilo had access to senates in such n
way as to give , perhaps a peculiar degree of
authenticity to his accusation of dishonesty
against the senators who advocated thu
Nicaragua cniial hill.
Mr. Morgan read some extracts from the
report of Mr. Vest in favor of the Knds
Tehuantepco ship railway bill to show that
the pending bill was predicted on exactly the
same doctrines. Mr. Moivan wont on to
state that the committee on foreign relations
hail not supposed It was exposing itself to tbo
criticism of newspaper correspondents , wlio ,
by courtesy of the senators , had access to the
floor.
floor.Mr.
Mr. Vest said the corrospondentof the St.
Louis Itepublic was not his secretary and did
not enjoy privileges of the floor
through him. lie was not nulo
to appreciate Mr. Mortran's reference to
Kails. The headline of the article com
plained of was prepared in St. Louis , not by
Moore , wlio never intended to charge any
hcnator with being actuated by corrupt or
improper motives , I io called attention to tlio
editorial in."U Sunday paper purporting to
give a statement of an c'\-oflli'crof th Nic
aragua cannl company to the effect that no
more work would ho done by the committee
until congress supplied means to do It. The
matter was finally dropped and , after execu
tive session , the sundry civil bill was taken
up.
up.An amendment permitting the secretary of
the treasury to inako temporary appoint
ments of architects , skilled dwftsmon and
civil engineer * in the ofllco of the supervis
ing architect was the text of a discussion on
civil service examinations.
Mr. Gorman criticized the civil service
i commissioners for denouncing senators , rep
resentatives and cabinet ofllcers as hostile to'
the civil service law.
Mr. Allison explained that the architect of
the treasury had told the committee that. In
Ills belief , the plans for many public buildIngs -
Ings might bo made by architects outside of
Washington and In thnt opinion the commit
tee generally appeared. As the law now
stood the plans , specifications and details of
nil kinds had to bo made in the oflleo of Iho
supervising architects.
Mr. Reagan moved to amend tbo amend
ment by making It apply permanently , in
stead of temporarily. Mr. ( iornmn sug
gested that the civil service commissioners
should bo men of common sense ,
and said tbo president had not
rebuked the commissioners for their letter
denouncing ttio postmaster general.
Mr. Cockroll reminded Mr. ( lorman of the
reprimand the president hail , according to the
\ \ ashington Post , administered to the com
missioners.
Mr. Gorman said no such thing had been
done , It was the first time in the history of
the government that n subordinate onlccr
bad been indicted through the public prints
of one of tbo cabinet officers , and had had the
audacity to address their communications to
the president.
In ordinary things they would have been
removed.
The discussion was still going on at 0
o'clock when the senate toolc n recess.
In the evening session , after some further
discussion , the amendment was agreed to ,
The amendment to strike from the Horn
for a national zoological park the provision
thai one-half should no paid from the reven
ues of the District of Columbia provoked dis
cussion , Mr. Morgan suggesting that con
gress was n 700 enough for the entertain
ment of tbo peoplo. Tbo amendment was
agreed to.
