ON' , D. C. , Jan , 23. Thcro have
boon many stormy nnd confuted sessions of
the house , but they have generally been hold
when n matter of political or personal Inter
est has been nt stake. Ha rely has n more
boisterous meeting been held over a nonpartisan -
partisan nnd nonpcrsonal measure than that
which occurred today. Members were nt
cross purposes over tlio quarantlno bill. Its
most earnest superiors believed that It did
not fro far enough , nndiwhlloithey ncqulesced
inscmoof the amendments made by the
Now York members , they did so under pro
test nnd in the belief that If they did other
wise thu measure would meet a lingering
death through ill [ blistering- After many
parliamentary wr.inglcs the bill was finally
Thu house , In continuation of Saturday's
session , met nt 11 o'clock this morning.
Tills had the effect to continue the special
order , undi r which the quarantine bill Is be
ing considered , nnd the house Immediately
proceeded , In committee of the whole , to
further discussion of that measure.
Air. U'lirnrr'n Amendment
On motion ol Air. Warner , democrat , from
New York , nn amendment was ndopted ex
tending the provisions of the bill to immi
gration nnd importation ncross land
boundaries ns well ns ncross sea boundaries.
The object of this amendment , as explained
by Mr Warner , Is to protect the Canadian
nnd Mexican frontiers.
Mr IJroslus. republican , from Pennsyl
vania , offered an amendment providing that
nil quarantine regulations existing by
authority of state law or municipal
ordinance at any place whcro the federal
government shrill establish quarantine regu
lations , shall bo of no effect so far ns they
limy ho In conflict with this act. Passed.
After the rejection of various amend-
incuts the committee nrose nnd reported the
bill to the house Then the house found It-
tlclf In n tight parliamentary tangle , and
every member who attempted to disentangle
It only drew the knot firmer.
The bill as reported from the committee of
the whole was a substitute for the original
bill Introduced by Mr. Kayner. nnd , ns such
substitute , wns reported , nlthough it had re
ceived several amendments.
Complaint wns made that this wns not the
proper status of the bill , but the speaker
wns Htm In tin decision that thcro was but
cue amendment -the substitute pending.
The previous question was finally ordered
on the substitute reported by the committee
of thu whole by n vote of 13'J ' toU , and the
substitute was agreed to.
Motion to Itocommlt Defeated.
Mr Hoilly , democrat , from Pennsylvania
then moved to recommit the bill with in
structions to the committee on commerce to
rcK | > rt hack thu provisions of the scnnto bill
as modllled by the amendments ndopted by
the house committee of thu whole , with the
exception of the Cockrnn amendment , which
provides that nothing in this net shall bu
construed to authorize nny federal oflicer to
relax , modify or suspend any rules or regula
tions which may bo ndopted by state or mu
nicipal authorities for the exclusion of con-
tngtous or Infectious diseases from any part
of the United States , or to permit the entry
or discharge from any vessel in nny port
where quarantine regulations have been
established by state or municipal authority
until such vessel shall hnvo compiled with
such regulations.
The motion to recommit was defeated
yeas , 03 ; nays. 167 ,
Then enpio the vote on the flnnl passage of
the bill on n division , The vote stood 111
to 47.
47.Mr.
Mr. Mallory raised the point of no quorum ,
but on n vote by tellers the vote stood 133
to ' . " .I.
No effort was made to secure a yea nnd
nny vote.
The New York < t New Jersey bridge bill
was then called up , but the Pennsylvania
delegation compelled its withdrawal , by fili
bustering tnctlcs.
Thu house then , in committee of the
whole , proceeded to the consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation hill. The general
debate occupied about twenty minutes ,
though there was n tacit , but not expressed
agreement , that Mr. liland , democrat , from
Missouri , would bo allowed thirty minutes
tomorrow to present his opinion ns to the
proposed repeal of the Sherman silver bill.
Without dlsK | > slng of thu bill , the committee
rose und the house adjourned.

Opening of tlio GhiiroKvu Outlet.
WASHINGTON , D. 0. , Jan. 1. Mr. Chand
ler , republican , from Now Hamp shlro
diverted the senate today by arraigning two
republican senators ( Messrs. Hoar of Massa
chusetts and Platt of Connecticut ) for put
ting forward against the anti-option bill n
constitutional argument that would be
equally strong In Its application to the tariff
law. Ho warned them that they would bo
called upon to defend the tariff law In the
next congress If the democrats wore true to
the platform on which their presidential
ticket had been elected , nnd ho Intimated
that their contention that the taxes could
bo Imposed only for the purpose of revenue ,
not for the purpose of protection , would bo
fatal to n high protective system.
At thu conclusion of Mr. Chandler's speech
the anti-option bill went over without
notion , no agreement having previously been
reached that the vote on that bill shall bo
taken on Tuesday of next lu'ek.
In thu discussion of n projw.scd amendment
tOitho Cherokee. . Outlet bill , Mr. Platt , ropub-
llcnii , from Connecticut , referred U. the
president-elect us n man "whoso desire to
take cato of the best Interests of thu country
would got the better of any desire to servo
his friends. "
Certtllcntes of election of Senators
Cockerel ! , democrat , from Missouri , und
Davis , republican from Minnesota , for the
now terms from March 4 , lb ! > 3 , were pre
sented nnd placed on tile. Also thu certifi
cates from the presidential electors for the
Btnlo of lyoulslaim.
House bill to provide for lowering the
height of u proposed brldgo ncross the Ohio
river between Cincinnati and Covington by
the Hnpld Transit Hrldgo company was taken
from the calendar nnd passed.
TOOK Up the Anti.Option Hill.
The senate then , by unanimous consent ,
proceeded to the consideration of the anti-
option bill thu question being on the amend
ment offered by Mr , Vllns , democrat , from
Wisconsin , to the George substitute.
Mr. ( ii'orgo , democrat , from Mississippi ,
proceeded -with the argument which ho had
jiartly made last Saturday Ho spoke ono
'hour , nnd when h took his seat n projiosl-
tlon wnsmndo b.Mr. . . Wnsliburn , republican ,
from Minnesota , to have thu vote taken on
Thursday next This was objected to by
Mr Whlto. democr.it , from rxiuislnnn , who
said that the senators from Now York and
Delaware ( Hill and Cray ) desired to address
the sennto and were not present today , nnd
lid suggested Tuesday of next week ns the
time for taking the vote. After some col-
loony , Mr Uashburn consented to Mr.
White's proposition , nnd the arrangement
was finally miido that at 1 o'clock on Tues
day of next week the vote shall bo taken on
the Clcorgo substitute nnd not later than 'J
o'clock on the bill Itself.
The bill then wtmt over without action
nnd the Cherokee Outlet bill , which had
come over from the house , vns taken up for
consideration.
The bill having been read , Mr. Platt , re
publican , from Connecticut , offered as n sub
stitute for it the bill reported by him from
thy committee on Indian affairs on July 20 ,
I bit ! . An amendment to the substitute was
plTcnxl by Mr. Hurry , democrat , from Ar-
kausas , This bill Provides for the appoint
ment of a commission for the extinguishment
of national or tribal tltlo to the lands in In
dian Territory.
Would Defjr the Iloomer * .
Mr , IJutlor , democrat , from South Care
lina , denounced thu means resorted to In
order to forestall pending legislation In con
gress. Ho had l eon told today by a senator
from Connecticut ( Mr. Platt ) that If the
agreement between the government nnd the J
Indians wns not rarrlcd out , thousands of i
whlto men who were camping along
the whole bonier , would rush Into thoChero
kcc Outlet nnd tnke possession of it. The
dcnntc was to legislate under the threat of a
motive. The scnato was told that if It
did not legislate according to the peculiar
notion of the.io people , tiicy would go In ,
nolens vnlens , nnd tnko the land. That was
thu attitude In which the .senate found
Itself , For himself ho proi > oscd to defy the
threats of the mob anil to throw the protec
tion of the government around these Indians
oven If it took every soldier to enforce the
treaty stipulations with the Indians.
Mr. Ilcrry's nmendment was ngrced to ,
nnd the bill went over without further
nctlon , to bo brought bcforo the senate when
the anti-option bill Is not.
The scnnto then went Into executive ses
sion nnd soon adjourned.

WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 23. The quaran
tine bill , which passed the house today ,
though In its general purport similar to the
senate measure on the same subject , will
have to pass the scrutiny of the latter body.
The senate hill still rests upon the speaker's
table , nnd If It could have been taken up and
amended In conformity with the house bill It
could have been sent Immediately to confer
ence. As It Is , the house bill will go to the
senate with no more privilege than that en
joyed by nny other proposition originating In
the house.
The bill ns It passed the house requires all
vessels clearing for the United States to ob
tain from thu consul or vice consul nt the
port of departure a bill of health. The
president Is authorised to detail a medical
ollli'cr to servo In the ofltco of the consulate
nt any foreign port for the purpose of fur
nishing information and giving the bills of
health. The Marino hospital service shall
co-operate witn state and municipal boards
of health In the enforcement of the rules of
such boards ; and the regulations prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury to prevent
the Introduction of contagious and Infec
tious diseases into the United States from
foreign countries nnd from one stnto
Into another , but nothing shall be construed
to warrant a federal official In relaxing state
rules. On the arrival of any Infected vessel
nt nny port not provided with proper facili
ties for treatment , the secretary of the
treasury may remand the vessel to the near
est national or other quarantine.
Senator Chandler said this afternoon that
as soon ns It was practicable after the bill
came over from the house , ho would call It
up. Ho thought the bill would bo amended
so ns to conform to thu provisions of thu hill
as It passed the senate , and after adding the
f 1 , 000,000 appropriation for carrying it into
effect it would bo sent back. "Do you think , "
he added , "that the house would dare to
take It up again ? "

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 23. The nomina
tion today of Mr. Frank C. Pardrldgo to bo
minister to Venezuela was the first Intima
tion the public had that Minister Scruggs
had vacated his mission to Caracas. Mr.
Scruggs returned to the United States ro-
ccntly on leave of nbscnce , granted because
of ill health. Ho is now at his homo in
Atlanta , Gu ,
Prior to Mr. Scruggs' departure from his
post of duty the Mljares Incident occurred.
Scnor Mijarcs was n Venezuelan political
refugee , who took passage on thu the Itcd
"D" line steamer Philadelphia , an American
vessel bound for New York. While the
Philadelphia was at L.a Guayra , Venezuelan
dfllcors attempted to tnko Scnor Mijarcs
from the vessel. The captain refused to
glvo him up , nnd Mr. Iltiuua , the United
States consul nt La Guayra , sustained him.
Clearance papers were then refused the
Philadelphia and her captain sailed away
without thorn.
It is scarcely thought that anyunplcasant-
ncss arising out of this much exaggerated
aff.Tlr can bo In nny ivny responsible for Min
ister Scruggs' disinclination to return to
Caracas , and especially in view of the fact
that the new minister from Venezuela to the
United States has Just arrived , and that ar
rangements have boon made for his presen-
tatlon to President Harrison tomorrow.
In the Supreme Court.
The supreme court dismissed , for want of
Jurisdiction , with directions to the United
States circuit court for the district of South
Carolina to do likewise , the suits brought by
the Northwestern Katlrond company
nnd the Central Kallroad company
against Wnlter and Els , to enjoin
thcso county officers from collection
of a tnx Imposed on the railroads by the
state. The taxes were stnto , county and
school taxes. The Tillman board of equali
zation assessed their property at n higher
rate than other property and It Is nsscrted
that this is unconstitutional. Tlio point nt
Issue has stirred up the railroad companies
of the state , and has bean n political issue
ns well between the two wings of the South
Carollnn democracy. It Is hold that juris
diction cannot bo mndo to attach by combin
ing the various forms of tnx In n number of
counties , nnd thus swelling the total amount
involved to over $ i,000. the amount necessary
to tnko the case Into the federal eourt. The
merits of the cnso wore not ( 'ono Into.
Itotimis.
When the scnnto mljourucd today the
mossoiiKors bearing tlio returns from five
states had not appeared nt the cnpltol.
Thcso states are Georgia , Indiana , Montana ,
Oregon nnd Wisconsin. The Georgia mes
senger Is , however , expected to reach the
city hoforo midnight , which \vlll bring tlio
mlssjng returns down to four. The presi
dent willi tomorrow notify the secretary of
stnto of thu facts and ho will decide what Is
necessary In order to comply with the law
or Bond n sjiccliil messenger to each of the
delinquent states to procure the returns.

WHERE IS KAISER r
Proprietor of tlio I.lnilell Hotel Continues to'
Ho MyfttcrloiiK
Owing to the prolonged nbsenco of Philip
ICulscr , the Lindell hotel has been closed.
Yesterday the employes of the hotel took In
what money they could , which was used In
paying the wages of the waitresses , cooks ,
scullions and others , but no meals were
served after dinner. Mr. Barr , former pro
prietor of the Ijotel , was telegraphed to at
Kansas City , but ho declined to interfere
with the affairs of the hotel , as his interests
were protected by mortgages on property
owned by Kaiser.
What has become of Kaiser is n matter of
uncertainty. Employes of tlio hotel think
that ho has met with foul play or has com
mitted suicide. Nothing has been learned
to support either belief.
Though the police have been notified they
have le.trned notnlng concerning Kaiser.
What has bccomo of the missing hotel
proprietor continues to bo us much of a mat
ter of conjecture as on the day of his disap i-
pearance.

This last week we have

been selling a whole lot of
suits at $8.75 , and that they are bar
gains is evinced by the fact that we sold
so many of them. We have picked
out a whole lot more and
placed them in the same $8.75
lot. Those we had on sale were
our $10.50 suits , and there arc a few of
them left. Those we now put in are
our regular $15 suits , made of chev
iot and cassimere , cut
8.75 in sacks and cutaways.
The colors are varied and
stylish. We have all sizes. You will
certainly appreciate these when you see
them , for no one can duplicate them.
Natural Underwear
We have received two cases of these
goods bought for early cleliverybut were
'not received by us until this week.They
were to be sold at $1.25 a garment , but
rather than have them left on our hands
would rather they were on the public's
body ; therefore , have put them down to
the actual cost price.
