the house rules Is developing considerable
feeling botwcon the Crisp leaders nnd some
of tlio gentlemen < vho constituted the fac
tion of his own party opposed to the speaker's
administration In the last house. This
Is mndo apparent by the vigorous manner in
which they are fighting some of the pro
posed changes \ ttho rules proposed in the
interest of expediting business cud prevent
ing obstructive tactics ,
i McMlllln , who is leading the democratic
opposition to these changes , is being ably
supported by General Hooker of Alabama ,
Mr. Turncrof Georgia nnd quite a number of
members of the democratic congress who
oppose the adoption of any of the expedients
of the Heed congress.

of the quorum of the committee of the whole
In accordance with the example of the Uccd
congress , nnd warned them thnt If they
submitted now to bo manacled voluntarily
they could never In the future successfully
or consistently fight against the irons.
During the progress of the discussion on
the amendment to reduce the size of the
quorum nn interchange of personalities be
tween General CatchliiKs'nnd Mr. McMIllin
attracted the attention of the house nnd
j'avo an Indication that Mr. McMIllin was
left off of the committee on rules in the
present house because ho had been out of
harmony with Speaker Crisp in the lust
congress.
ncMlmcd the Debnte.
Debate on the now rules was resumed by
Mr. Traccy of Now York offering nn amend
ment striking out the clause in rule 21 , per
mitting amendments to general. api > ronric.v
tion bills when those amendments are In the
interest of retrenchment of expenditures.
In supporting this amendment Mr. Traccy
called attention to the endless annoyance
caused by members during the consideration
of appropriation bills by the presentation of
amendments under the shadow of this
clause. lie also pointed to the manner in
which thn salaries of assistant secretaries
had been reduced by the lust congress.
In answer to this statement Mr. Dockory
declared thnt the salaries of these ofllcials
bad only been reduced to the point fixed bv
low.
low.Mr.
Mr. McMIllin spoke vigorously in opposi
tion to Ibis proposed change. Ho drew at
tcntlon to the critical condition in which
tlio finances of the country were now in
volvcd. This clause of the rule permitted
the only opening for n reduction in the reg
i " . ular expenses of the government. In the
L > past , when the polls of the south wcro
crowded with troops , it was through this
salutary rule that a democratic congress
had beeiiT'iuibled to restrain this abuse of
federal power. With the treasury in the
woist condition it hud been for years , to
nrcnk dou n this rule at the outset of the ad
ministration would bo to advertise this con
gress ns false tit the very outset to thn
jiledgis It had mndo to the people.
Mr. Simpson of Kansas , Mr. Holman of In
diana and Mr. Stone of Pennsylvania op
posed tlio iiuicndincnt.
.Mil do lluinoroii * Itoumrks.
Mr. Cnnnon of Illinois made the humorous
suggestion that it did not make any differ
ence whether the clause was in or out of the
rules , as it was only meant to fool the public.
' When you wcro in power before , " said Mr.
Cannon , with a wave of his arms in tlio di
rection of the democratic pldo , ' 'you did not
rcducQ salaries or expenditures. Wo had
the senate then , but it did not Interfere
with you. U , however , furnished you the
excuse you wanted. Now thnt you have the
whole shooting match thapub'.io ' will liuvo
nn opportunity to Judge you by your notions ,
not by your words and professions. " [ Luugh-
ter.lMr.
Mr. Trncoy then withdrew the amend
ment ,
Mr. Kyle of Mississippi offered nn amend
ment Increasing the number of members
constituting a quorum of ' .lie committee of
the whole house to a majority of thu mum-
tiers of thu house. Under the rule brought
in by the committee on rules 100 members
nro made a quorum In 11 committee of the
whole , Mr , Kyle declared that this was not
the time for inch a radical change. Hvcry *
< Mil raising revenue and making appropria
tions must ho conuldcred in thu committee of'
the whole , and it was now proposed to re
duce a quorum in this committee from n '
)
majority to UK ) members , Iiu declared It
was against public policy and against public
sentiment , and placed it practically In thu
power of 100 members to transact the most
important bueinces of the house.
.Mr , Onllnuilto'i * Kipliiiiiitlon.
Mr. Outhwalto of the committee on ruins ,
iu explanation of the reasons for bringing in
this rule , contended that If mcmlicrs were
Interested In legislation they sl'ould bo
liere whether the number constitut
ing a quorum was 100 or 105 , During the
consideration of appproprlatton bills nb-
aentcolsm ft usually great , and the business
of the house Is obstructed for hours , some
times Uuyi.
Mr , Uearmond of Missouri supported the
Amendment , und in doing so culled atten
tion to the fact that Mr. Outhwalta in thu
2iccd congress opposed Just such an amend.
Jneut.
Air. Outluvalte in reply staled that ho was
four years older In legislative experience
than when hunmde that speech , [ daughter. ]
Continuing , Mr , Dunruiond said that the
objections adduced four years ugo wcro as

Mr. I Iced nskod sarcastically , amid laugh
ter , if Mr. Dcahnoml would not read some of
the salient points , some choice extracts from
the speeches of the democratic leaders on
that occasion ,
Iho latter's time expired and Mr. Ilrcckln-
rldgoof Kentucky took the floor In support of
the amendment. He stood in one of the side
aisles nnd spoke with warmth and evident
fcellne. Ho declared that ho opposed the
change now for the same reason ho had done
so in the Hoed congress , and , after having
had his remarks read < jn that occasion , ho
pointed out thnt It was always In
the committee of thn whole that thn
government put Us . .hand In the pocket of
the taxpayer. Every safeguard should bo
thrown nrouml this committee. While tlio
final notion on revenue bills was taken into
the open house , the legislation was shaped
In committee. It was In the Interest of
economy , as well ns the highest duty to the
public , to oppose every effort to reduce the
number of members constituting n quorum
of this committee.
started a Lively Argument.
Mr. Catchings , the floor leader , asked to
have this Important rule passed temporarily
until a larger attendance of thol house could
bo obtained , but General Hooker objected ,
nnd he proceeded to uphold the change. Ho
*
was surprisedho said , to sco such a dis
tinguished lawyer ns Mr. Breclduridgo have
his speech of four years ago read in sup
port of his present position. The committee
of the whole had no place In the constitu
tion ; it was designed to aid the house. Noth
ing that passes the committee of the whole
is legislation ; It hns no more binding effect
than the action of any other committee. The
committee of the whole Is a mere matter of
convenience and the suggested change in the
size of its quorum Is to make It less cumber
some. The question of how democrats voted
four years ago on this proposition ought not
to frighten any person , as at that lime the
democrats were In the midst of a fierce nnd
heated struggle against the unprecedented
Heed rules nnd were lighting them inch by
inch.
inch.At
At this point a hot colloquy took place be
tween General Cutchlngs and McMIllin , both
of whom were associated on the rules com
mittee of the last congress , which throw n
side light on the reasons why the latter
failed to secure his old place under tlio pres
ent reorganization. Mr. McMIllin asked his
old colleague rather pointedly why , if the
proposed change in the size of the quorum iu
the committee of the whole was ulvisa bio
now , U had not been made in the last con
gross.
Culchlngs' I'olntcil It , | niitilrr.
"The gentleman from Tennessee , " replied
General Catchings , turning squarely upon
Mr. McMIllin , "is the hist man in the house
who should usk sucti u question. Ho knows
that quite a number of changes desired by
the speaker und myself failed because of his
opposition. "
"Do you mean to say , " shouted Mr. Mc
MIllin , grandly , moving'forward , "that I was
responsible for the failure to adopt this
change ! I am not to bo hold resuonslblc
for what you nnd the .speaker desired to do ! "
"I don't hold you responsible ; tut I say it
was your opposition that prevented the
tidcption ot several rules deuuiud advisable
by us. "
As Mr. McMIllin sat' down the house evi
dently believed that it had been unex
pectedly and , at least , partially let into the
secret of dropping Mr. McMillin from the
rules committee.
Turner's Impetuous Talk.
Mr. Turner of Georgia made a strong and
very Impetuous speech against the proposed
change. Ho declared that the Idea for
which the committee of the whule had been
provided , was to give the house a fuller and
better opportunity for the discussion of
revenue and appropriation bills. If this
change wcro adopted it would make the
committee a machine for the expedition of
business , not its consideration and , in
effect , prostitute the design of its fathers.
"It is a mistake"continued'Mr. Turner , "to
suppose that the committee of the whole is
a separate entity , as General Catchings
suggested. The committee cannot adjourn
without recalling the speaker. It is , in fact ,
the houso. tf you reduce the sio of the
quorum , what is to hocomo of the grout
parliamentary principle requiring a majority
to do business ! What change bus como
over this part of the house ! Why are
wo who denounce the speaker of the Fifty-
first congress now so ready to unite with
him ! They ( the republicans ) nro falling
over each other in their rush to bo fettered.
They are holding up their hands and foot ,
bogging to bo hound hand and foot by the
majority. The ox-speaker relishes
Keenly the vindication some of us are trying
to give him. This attitude is contrary to
consistence. Perhaps our old adversaries
nro thinking of the future. How could wo
fight against manacles in the Fifty-fourth
congress , perhaps , if In the Fifty-third wo
voluntarily put ourselves in Irons. The next
stop after this ought to come in the shape of
; x proposition to count n quorum.
Attor further debate , participated In by
Curtis of New York , Hooker of Mississippi ,
Kilgoro of Texas and McMillin of Tennessee ,
the house suspended the consideration of the
rules to pass the amendments to thu urgency
deficiency bill. Thoreiipon , without action
on the nmcndincnttho house adjourned until
next Wednesday.

yesterday Indicnted thu line of policy to bo

Tin : DEU.J The weekly statement of New
Yarn's associated banks given out today
makes a showing which Wall street gener
ally construes as favorable. The surplus re
serve increased $5,170,000 and the other
items of especial interest wcro changed
as follows : Loans decreased t3,4M,000 ; specie
Increased nearly $4,000,000 und legal tenders
increased something like $3,109,000 , nnd
there is an increase in circulation of ? 1,1 ! > 1-
000. Deposits have increased over SJI.MW.OOO
Much of the gold which arrived last week
figures In this week's statement , nnd the
increase in bank note circulation is
also n factor in the statement. More than
this , there Is an increased flow of funds from
the country this way. Everything points
to the accumulation of money in abundance
hero. If the course of the stock market de
pended merely upon the prospective gain in
funds there would bo only cheerfulness in
the situation.
The vote in the house of representatives
was so much more pronounced than had been
expected that Wall street got up n good deal
of enthusiasm on the bull side of the stock
market. It was taken for granted thnt what
the house had done the senate would do ,
and the result has been a hurrah in the stock
market during most of the week.
Wall street is a pretty cold-blooded place
ordinarily , but occasionally its sontl-
mcntalism trots beyond anything known
elsewhere. Thus it hns been that
the sliver repeal vote In the house
has boon followed by rapturous
expressions and boom action. During the
most of this week it has looked us if Wall
street had come to the conclusion that the
vote settled everything. Not only was free
silver scheming ended and honest money es
tablished for good and all , but that every
one of the troubles in the financial situation
had been wiped out.
Important Interests Igrnorutl.
Ex-Speaker Reed's warning that the mil
lennium would not bo quite hero even with
the silver bill repealed and Senator Sher
man's later suggestion that there nro other
things than silver legislation in the way
of national prosperity wcro not
given much immediate attention , Hut
as the week closes the calm facts recited by
these two statesmen are beginning to got a
more attentive consideration. There are
many things remaining , oven talcing it for
granted that the senate shull pass the repeal
bill promptly , and that President Cleveland
shall sign it , which do not betoken entire-re
juvenation of everything. This Is especially
true as to Wall street.
It is , and for months has been , a favorite
statement in tlio Stock exchange district
that while the rest of the country may not
stand further trouble , Wall street has hud
Its punishment and is through. Probably it
will bo found that precisely the
opposite is true. Wall street has
had a good deal of punishment
but that Wall street is throuijh.is probably
far from thu fact. The rest of the country
Is in a good dc.xl better shape than Wall
street , as Wall street , unfortunately , is
discredited. Trade Is restricted every
where , and manufacturers , so f.ir as tnerefy
the financial situation is concerned , have
been accommodating themselves to condi
tions. Merchants have boor conservative
beyond anything known hitherto , and cer
tainly the farming communities of the coun
try have not boon able to get into ways of
extravagance.
IHKCoiiragliii ; Fen turns.
Two or three discouraging things nro
ahead for Interests outside of Wall street ,
however. One is the probability that real
estate , just now higher on an average than
It bus been In twenty years , will have
to go through liquidation. Another
is that labor is sure to bo called
upon to bear the brunt of business
contraction. Nearly every one of the big
corporations of the country Is feeling obliged
to bcale down labor accounts. So tno man-
ngors uro anxious to avoid wage reductions ,
nnd nro cutting down the number of em
ployes ; but most universally thu rule ! H
going into effect of retrenchment in the way
of labor expenditure. This Is the most un
fortunate feature of the whole situation.
Manufacturers have for their chief worry
now the uncortulnty ns to tariff legislation.
About the only thing tint can bo de
pended upon Is that the majority in
congress is intent upon beginning tariff
tinkering right away The house , having
followed Mr. Cleveland's instructions on sil
ver legislation , is now energetically at
work In the preliminary stage ot tackling
tariff reductions. It is the belief In conserva
tive circles that not much will bo accom
plished by the tlnkcrers , that the tariff
will bo pretty much loft ntt it is.
liuentlon of Ituveiuiu Important.
In the first place , , it Is contended that the
country ( sso sorely in need of revenue that
however much the majority In congress may
dcsiru to smufah import duties , they must
bo restrained by the national treasury's re
quirements , and taillT for revenue , for
nctual revenue , must needs bo rather Increased -
creased than diminished , Keno the lebs
there is much uncertainly as to whdt will
be done , nnd uncertainty U worse than any-
thing else.
If congress would only close up its silver
repeal business and go homo , as Senator
Hill of Now York geuslbly advised , the
countrv would bo a good deal hotter off. So
long , however , ns it continues In , session ,
malting mouths ut the tariff auji threatening
to do this , that and the pthor thing ) wo can.

It always has aud always will. In Wall
street these things cannqt fnll to bo ro-

Francis .Joseph Will T ke Oliunops.
Emperor Francis Joseph left Tschcl this
mowing to attend the maneuvers in Gull-
cla. It wasjlccided early in the week that
ho should not leave Ischnl until ho should
look at the Hungarian maneuvers , which
will begin September 0. The press has
raised such n clamor , however , about the exposure
posuro of troops in Galicla cholera and
has reproached the government s > o bitterly
for assembling so large a force from the in
fected districts that the emperor felt he
must show his willingness to bravo ail
perils to which ho subjected his army.
The district in which the ouorations will
bo carried out is swampy , rife with typhoid
fever and dysscntery and U bordered with
what is known as "choluni spots. " Direct
ing burgeon Keowalski , of thg Vienna hos
pital , nnd the Vienna Board of Health ,
warned the government that military opera
tiuns In such n region must tend to spread
i ho cholera. The only concession of the
war onico , however , was to ngroo not to
call out the reserves from places known to bo
infected.
Humors have reached Berlin that cholori
has already appeared among tno troops
marching to the Held to maneuver.
Not Frlghti'iicd I' } ' Hi" Cholera.
The cholera has failed to cause a panlo
hero ns the people have perfect confidence
In the city's good sanitary condition as n
protection against any great Increase of the
epidemic. At the Instance of the munlclpa
authorities the record of cases und dea.hs is
posted riullv at the town hall. Fuw persons
take the trouble tn read them. The distrlc
presidents in east Prussia have published
regulations intended to prevent the impor

In the course of his answer Mr. Campbell

the command nt Aldershot had it been

that his occupancy of the post would bo de

1'Aiiis , Sept. a [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to TUB BII : . | Something Is tak
ing place In ICuropo , but It Is impossible to
say what It is , because as yet only the out
ward siRiis are viitblo. To kuow exactly
what is going on it would bo necessary to
know the thoughts of the throe personage *
who nro the masters of the European situ
ation. These three personages are the czar ,
the knUornnd King Humbert of Italy.
What is visible Is , in the IIrat. place , the
speech marked with displeasure and bad
temper delivered by the cz.ir on the occasion
of the Inauguration of the port of Libau ,
in I which Alexander 111. declared that the
Baltic ought to bo , 111 splto of all opposition ,
a Russian lako.
The second sign of the times Is the holdIng -
Ing of the German army maneuvers on the
French frontier and the entrance of William
II. Into Metz on the anniversary of the
capitulation of Sedan , accompanied by the
crown prince of Italy.
Thirdly , we have the significant fact that
thu Italian military maneuvers are also to beheld
held on the Italian side of the French fron
tier , nnd that the hatred of Italians acr.lnst
thu French is constantly on the Increase.
( Jrt > l Irom Ihu I.Ion ,
Besides all these outward and visible
igns , wo have the fact that England U
again protesting , and more loudly than over ,
igainst the policy of Franco In Siam , and
seems now inclined to refuse what she was
only n stiort time ago ready to accept.
A diplomatist snid to me only yesterday :
It looks as if ISuropo was holding n dress
rehearsal of what Rlio would bo able to do
against France in the event of war. "
This sums up in n few words what Is
> rcsent in the thoughts of everybody. . The
[ > art played by Italy causes much anxiety
ilurlnp the disorders following the Alguca-
Mortcs troubles. Immediately afterward ,
the Italian government asked for the advice
of Germany , " Austria and Enifland , nil of
which governments advised moderation nnd
calmness. It , however , BCCUIS Incredible to
everybody thnt such n potty riot , without'
uny real importance , and occurring ut such
: in insignificant place , should hnvn been
made use of to bring on a war. Personally ,
[ Cine Humbert is very hostile to France , and
It is in accordance with his wish , and In
suite of the advice of his ministers , that the
Italian crown prince goes to Metto witness
the German army maneuvers , n fact
which is causing no little vexation In
France. For my * part I do not believe that
war will break out in tho.ne.ir future , but I
cannot but admit that the events of the last
few weeks have diminished the chances of
peace.
Ityo-Klpntlon Troubles.
The "ballotago" elections take place in 105
districts of Franco tomorrow. During the
last few daya the struggle has been very
violent in some of these , and In Paris the
violence went so far as an attempt on the
part of n mob to shont M. Charles A1 ff *
who will probably bo defeated. - \
Tlicro is also a violent struggle In the Vnr ,
where M. Clomcnccau's chances of re-olectioa
have considerably improved. The processes
adopted in the campaign are unprecedented
in tills country. The candUatos are as
sailed with stones and sticks and mud.
The probabilities nro that Paris will cleot
at least six revolutionists.
