"WASIIINOTON , Sept. 0. The house com-
1 .Ictcd the consideration of the rules today ,
nnd they vrcro adopted with only two im
portant changes from the form In which
they came from the committee. The first
change placed the committees on banking
nnd currency and coinage , weights nnd
measures on the same footing with the ways
nnd means and appropriations committees ,
clothing them with power to report at any
time.
The second change restores the size of tlio
quorum in the committee of the whole to the
old number , a majority of thp houso. Tim
rules committee made a complete surrender
on the latter proposition , and General
ditchings' announcement this morning that
the fuel of the committee .having decided to
retreat from Its position in favor of increas
ing the size of n quorum to 100 members
( . live rise to the most entertaining debate of
the day. It was participated iu by the
leaders on both sldci.
At the Mcr < y of Flillmfttrr * .
In the closing debate , when Mr. Burrows
offered the code of the Fifty-first congress
as n substitute , lie declared that under the
code about to bu adopted thu house could bo
bound hand nnd foot by filibusters , and ho
himself could block business from now on
until the end of the session unless the aid
of the committee on rules was Invoked. In
his opinion the rules would place in the
tin mis of the committee on rules absolute
power over all legislation.
As soon us the rules were adopted a great
avalanche of bills was piled breast high on
the speaker's table.
Deferred to Democratic Sentiment.
AVhen the homo resumed the debate
on the rules , the announcement was
made that the committee , iu deference to
the objection of some of the prominent dem
ocratic members , had decided to
abandon that rule. Mr. Catchlngs
explained that so many democratic
members opposed the proposed rule that the
icommlituo decided lo accept Mr. Kyle's
amendment , restoring the size of iho quo
rum to n majority of the houso.
The announcement precipitated a lively de
bate. Mr. Dollivcr of Iowa said
ho was Just about to mnko a
fipccch in favor of the proposition
from which the committee had just ro-
tn/atcd. Ho was sorry Iho committee sur
rendered. Mr. Dolllvor then proceeded to
defend ox-Speaker Heed in his course as
speaker.
"I am not surprised at the outburst of the
gentleman from Iowa , " said General Catch-
imzs , again taking Iho floor. "He has wit
nessed on this side something lhat never
could have occurred on the other. Ho has ,
evidence Hint the speaker docs not desire
to force his individual will by riding rough
shod over the opinions of his colleagues.
[ Laughlcr.j When differences of opinion
occur on Ibis side of tlio house , wo are ready
to yield to the manifest will of the majority.
From your rules wo have selected but two
.things us worthy of retention , the method
of introducing hills nnd the reduc
tion of lUimlze of a quorum in the committee
of , the whole. Everywhere else wo have
expressly repudiated the dominant idea of
the rules of Iho Fifty-first congress , invesl-
ing Iho speaker with supreme power , and
wo have everywhere been careful lo limit
the power of the speaker so ho could do
nothing not dictalcd by the majority of the
houso. " Applause. ]
Mr. Springer followed with a general as-
Ruult on what ho termed two fundamental
'usurpations of the rules of the Fifty-first
congress , the power of iho spealcer to count
n quorum and his power to determine dila
tory motions.
Air. Itceil Him n Word loSuy.
When hn concluded Mr. Hoed walked
down the aisle. " 1 am exceedingly sorry , "
ho said , "that the democratic party cannot
understand thu fundamental principles of
this question. The average democratic mind
nccms incapable ot grasping them. The
high minds of Die rules committee under
stand somoUiing of iho essentials , but even
they are unable to roach ihe lopmost
hoiphls. But Iho truth will finally prevail.
' Filibustering is a modern invention. You
can't go back of the Oisease lo look for a
remedy. There was no cholera medicine
until cholera broke out , and so thoru was no
remedy for parliamentary filibustering until
filibustering became a chronic dlseuse. The
power of the cnulr is the power of thu house.
Tno gentlemen speak us ir the
rpcaker were an Irresponsible in
dividual. It is Impossible for thu
B pea ic or to do what the house docs not
want him lo do. As soon its iho contrary
proposition Is staled Its absurdity is seen.
Therefore , whatever charges have been
made against me us speaker of thu Fifty-first
congress should properly have lodged against
that house , which uniformly sustained me.
"Gentlemen , speak of the suppression of
dllllary motions. It Is the plain duly of the
speaker under parliamentary law lo suppress
dilatory motions , I declare now and hern ,
defying contradiction , that the power to rule
out dilatory motions was never exercised
nntll the speaker and every man In ihe
house believed and knew that tlio motions
wore used to delay business. In time this
whole matter will become perfectly plain. I
notice lhat less and less foolishness is being
talked on tlio floor. Even the gentleman
from Illinois ( Mr. Springer ) seems to show
improvement with age. [ Laughter. ]
"Tho gontliincn"iioconoludod1throwing ) his
arms oul wlldlv in the direction of the dem
ocratic side , " 1 bid you godspeed. I know
that Bourbonism and conservatism hold you
firmly In ihelr irrasp , hut the right will
triumph. Your bonds will bo broken. You
will progress , as all things do In tune , for
after all. docs not the world movet" [ Laugh
ter and applause. ]
Mr. ICylo's amendment was then agreed to.
Mr. Burrow * OllVr * H Hnb.tltiltr.
All the rules having been passed , Mr
Catchlngs then called for the previous ques
tion on thu report and Mr. Burrows orturod
as a substllutu Iho code of rules of tlio Fifty-
first congress , with anamendment providing
that whnn n call of Iho house \vaii had the
vo'us and n.tys shall bu considered us ordered ,
Tills latter umcndment would prevent the
breaking of a quorum , Mr. Burrows then
entered upon a general argument on thu
comparative merits of thu two codes of rules
nnd declared that the rules about to bu
adopted were absolutely powerless to prevent -
vent filibustering.
' 1 will undertake. " said ho , "io stop the
reading of the journal tomorrow morning
nnd will stop all business for the rest of the
session unless the commlttoa on rules takes
a hand. Those rules place thu power of eg-
iiliillon absolutely In thu hands of the
speaker and tlio two democratic members iOf
thu rules committee.11
Mr. Bynum of Indiana , In reply to Mr. Bur
rows , winit at length Into the difference be-
tuccn counting the house to ascertain the
presence of a q\ionmi \ and counting members
to pass " laws. "I care not whether the
coinning"of members was declared legal by
the supreme court or not. " said he , facing
his old antagonist , Mr. Uced , und holding
his arm threateningly aloft , " 1 acknowledge
nobody greater thun this house to puss upon [
its rights or privileges.1
Iljiium'i Compliilnt.
i Referring to what ho called the arbitrary
I decisions of Speaker Heed In the Fifiy-llrsl
congress , ho said : " 1 remember ubout aid
o'clock on evening the speaker decided a
motion to adjourn , made by me , dilatory ,
und I guess it wan iluuehtor ] but two

same motion , ho entertained it. How did
ho know that my motion was dilatory and
Mr. McKinley's notf
'Becnuso you have Just confessed it , "
shouted Kcod. ( Laughter. )
At the conclusion of Mr. Bynum's speech
the vote wus taken on the adoption of the
code rules offered by Mr. Burrows. Lost
05 to 148. The rules were then adopted
without division.
The ways and means committee was given
leave lo sit during the sessions of thu houso.
The house then adjourned until Saturday.

Mr. Voorhocii Ilotlinrtni ; HIP Silver Men
.Mr. Teller's Talk.
WASIIIXOTOX , Sept. 0. In thu senate today
Mr. Vooriiccs pursued certain parliamentary
tactics which crcatly worried the opiwncnts
of repeal. Ho Jlrst stated that for the prcs-
ent ho would not press his rnsolution chang
ing the hour of meeting of the yenato from
18 to 11 o'clock. This gave the silver men
the impression that iho chairman of the
finance committee , in view of the fact that
last night the motion to proceed to consider
ation of executive business had been carried ,
notwithstanding Iho earnest opposition of
the friends of repeal , was indispcsed to test
the sense of the senate on his resolution. In
the course of half an hour , within
less thun ten .minutes of the lime
when the repeal' bill would
have occn laid before the son-
ale as the regular order , Mr. Voorhees
moved that thu ruuoal bill bo taken up and
this motion was carried by a vote of itt to1. .
Mr. Voorhees Increased the confusion among
the ranks of the silver men by moving an
executive session , allowing Mr. Stewart ,
who was speaking at the time , to resume
thu floor in the morning , and this motion
was carried.
Mr. Mills , democrat , of Texas , had given
notice of his Intention to address the senate
today , but Mr. Stewart occupied the entire
time given to the repeal bill.
The most important bill introduced today
wns that by Senator Cullom , republican , of
Illinois , to repeal all laws creating or pro
viding for the maintenance of the shilling-
fund.
Morgan's Ui'solutlon.
By a vote of 37 to SI , the senate
agreed to a motion by Mr. Voorhees that
,
the resolution of Mr. Morgan for a Joint
select commlttco on finance go to the calen
dar , and the senate procosdud with the dis
cussion of the repeal bill. This is inter
preted as a temporary victory for the repeat
men.
men.Mr. . Cullom inlroduced a bill to repeal all
nets for thu creation and maintenance of a
sinking fund. Heferrcd.
Mr. Voorhees' resolution changing the
hour of meeting of the senate to 11 o'clock
was laid over indefinitely with his consent.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama proceeded to ad
dress the senate in support of his resolution
for a Joint committee.
Ho said he had never recognized Mr. Sher
man as the leader of the democratic party.
There were bomo democrats with whom he
associated in preference to Mr. Sherman.
Allen G. Thurmun was ono ; ho was always
n free coinage democrat. "When you speak
about great and good nnd consistent men
who nro democratic. I refer you to Allan G.
Thurman , thoOldHoman not the modern
Homan represented in the person of the
chairman of the finance committee , Mr.
Voorhees. "
There was suppressed laughter at the
mention of Mr. Voorhees' name , nnd Mr.
Morgan looked around the chamber with a
sclf-sutisfiod smile on his fnco. Morgan con
tinuing , said ho would vote for any measure
of relief which commended itself to las
judgment.
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon gave notice that
on Tuesday next ho would submit some re
marks upon the repeal bill.
Mr. Voorhees , at the conclusion of Mr.
Morgan's re'marks , asked consent that the .
resolution go to the culoudar and the repeal
bill bo taken up.
Air. Harris , democrat'of Tennessee , said
such action could only bo taken by a majority
and that the resolution could not be disposed
of as Mr. Voorhocs suggested.
Mr. Voorhees As there seems to be objec
tion , I move that the senate proceed to the
consideration of the repeal bill.
Mr. Allison , republican , of loiva , suggested
that in seven minutes the repeal bill would
be the regular order.
"What will wo do with the next seven
minutes ? " said Mr. Voorhces. "That is
what is troubling me. " [ Laughter. ]
Ciiii < < liluri > d Victory.
Af tor some wrangling , Mr. Voorhces still
insisted upon Ills motion to take up the re
peal bill. The motion was agreed to. Yeas ,
! 17 ; nays , 81. The result was considered by
Iho repeal men as a temporary victory. The
vote in detail was us follows : Yeas Alli

j The opponents to tcpual wanted It to ap
pear that thu repeal bill came before the
senate bv virtue of becoming the regular
order ( it wus not 11 vo minutes past o'clock )
und not by reason of tlm vote , and Mr.
Teller made the remark that the repeal bill
was before thu senate not by the vote , but
because it was now the regular order.
"That will do very well , " said Mr. Voor-
ht'os with a Hinilf , "but this volu helps
some : it emphasl/cs the hour. "
This did not satisfy the Colorado senator
and ho tisUed a parliamentary question ,
whether the bill came botoro the so ute by
virtue of the vote or because " o'clock had
arrived. The senator said that In thu opin
ion of the cliuir the bill was before the
senate both by virtue of thu vutu first taken
and the fact that the hour of 2 o'clock had
arrived. [ Luuglilor.j
Mr. Teller Insisted that the bill was before
thu senate for the reason that the hour of 8
o'clock had arrived.
The debate continued in this strain a short
time and thun Mr. Stewart resumed the lloor
and continued his speech begun yesterday.
Mr. Stewart yielded to Mr. Teller , who
suggested the absence of a quorum. 'Tho
roll culled und ijjl
wns fifty-niuo boiiators re '
sponded.
When the presence of a quorum wns deter
mined , Mr , Teller temporarily took the floor ,
Ho said thai ho did not suggest the absence
of a quorum for the purpose ot delaying the
business of tlio senate , but because ho
thought the question wus great enough to
Justify them In insisting that there bu u quo
rum present while thu business of the senate
was being transacted. Ho bollevcd those who
were opposed to the repeal of the Sherman
act had a right to discuss it In the way that
the uv.uittons of the senate Justify tliom In
doh.g. Ui > to this hour thcro had
been no indication that they intended
to do otherwise than In that way.
Those who ure opposed to repeal ,
said lie , have been larnpoomul through the
press and have been threatened with thu
vongcanco of the power that seems to con
trol in this country Just now if they should
venture to take the \\rno \ \ of the senate to
discuss this most Important question In ae-
cordanct ) with thu methods which have been
pursued In the senate for 100 years.
They hud been attacked ns willfully rs.b -
.structlng1 the public sprvlcjo and had ben
charged in the public press with being
enemies of iho public ) good. For ouo , ho Intended
tended to discuss thu question in a proper
spirit , und proper temper if he could , but liu
insisted that those ho believed this ques
tion so important that it must be voted upon
without -unv discussion or any opportunity
fur those who differ with them to bo heard ,
siiull stay in the senate when i > , is being dis
cussed , Thcro hail been no member of the
finance committee in favor of repeal in the
senate within the last hour , if ho were not
mistaken. They hud not made the point of
no quorum when there was not within the ;
capital moro thun one-third of the senate.

reminiscence nnd messing , uro returning to

This was another night of electrical
illumination and sight-seeing for all visitors ,
the beautiful display at Monument square
attracting thousands. Keccptlons were held
in many private homes and various reunions
were continued , besides many campllres
that wore held in hulls and churches
throughout , the city.
A notable reception wns that given by the
department of Indiana Woman's Relief corps
from 8 to 11 o'clock in tlio state capitol build
ing. The question of the disposition of the
Grant cottairc nt Mount McUrcgor will come
before the encampment. Seine months ngo
it was decided that the national encamp
ment would no longer supply a custodliin for
the cottage , but would turn it over to the
New York department. The Now York de
partment , however , objected to this and
Post Commander Palmer s'lld today that it
was duo to the giver of the cround and cot
tage that the national encampment cither
cjntrol it or deed it back.
Kept Them I tuny.
This was n busy day for the Grand
Army of the Republic veterans. The
first session of the encampment opened
at U0 : ! ! , ns well ns * the first ses
sion ot the Woman's Uuilcf corps and the
Daughters of theHeginient. This afternoon
there will bo scores of regimental and di
vision reunions and tonight there will be a
dozen or moro public and private recaptions ,
with electric nnd natural tras displays out
side. Among the reports to the national en
campment wus that of the special
committee on legislation. The object
of the appointment of this committee
was to secure th.o enforcement of two fed
eral laws almost totally disregarded for
many years ; first , providing that those dis
charged from the military or naval service
by reason of wounds or sickness , should
have preference in appointment , to public'
ofllec ; the other recommending the veterans
to business men and llrms of the country
for lucrative employment. The report says
a bill to that end was introduced in the last
congrjss , but was amended so as to de
stroy Its effect in the senate. Subsequently
it was acceptably amended In the house ,
but failed to pass. Till ? bill has been reintroduced -
introduced in both houses of the present
session , and it Is necessary to keep up tlio
light with vljror till It passes.
Governor Mathews , Mayor Sullivan and
Colonel Lilly , chairman of the executive
committee , delivered addresses of welcome.
Commandcr-ln-Chlof Woissert responded ,
then the encampment went Into executive
session to hour reports of ollieers.
Commander Wrlssort's Koport.
Commanlor Wc'issort , in his report and
address , reviewed the progress of the order
during the past year , and referred to the
deaths of General Uutherford B. Hayes and
General Bullcr irs among Iho illuslrlous
comrades who had passed away , and lo thu
excessive morality among the rank and file.
Tlio report showed a total membership of
4i,544. ; ) of whom : t97-23 were in good stand-
inir. The gain py muster during the year
was ! M , ! > 54. For relief , * 17T.84 < i hud boon dis

liof corps disbursed $ , " > SOiO.
Continuing , the report says lhat scores of
worthy veterans , some above the ago of
three score and tcrt ; yes , four score , many
suffering from wounds received on the battle
field or dlsoaso incurred while in the service
of Iho country or other disabilities which
are covered by law , cut off from the pension
roll without first making proper investiga
tion. During the past throe years some of
these who were not the friends of our coun
try during the mighty contest from 1SOI nj
1805 have taken every means within their
power to crcnto a public santiincnt against
pension laws und pensioners. Unwarranted
statements are made against Ihe pension
roll. No facts nro advanced to .substan llato
the statements made. The pension laws of
our country affect , the interests of veterans
of various wars , but somehow the Indiscrim
inate taking away of pensions affects only
these who served in the wurof iho rebellion.
The commander recommended lhat the
major part of the pension money for Inmates
of soldiers' homes bo
paid to the wives or
other dependants of such soldiers. orn
Neither docs the report favor any system
that permits these whose loyalty was
questioned lo pass upon the merits isof
veterans who served honorably in the union
army or which lakes away or cancels iho
pension lawfully granted without first Inves
tigating the case and permitting the pen ]
sioner to bo heard , which should uodono at
the expense of the government , which de
mands the additional proof. In such cases
It would bo but Justice to inform the sus
pended pensioner what further steps the
government demands in the promises. No
pension should bu canceled until the gov
ernment has proved it irauclulont , or unde
serving. Action should bu taken 10 soctiro
the reinstatement of all worthy veterans
who have boon dropped or suspended from
the pension rolls.

Serloi of r.niolutlotif.
CniCAoq , Sopt. 0. Archbishop Corrlgan of
Now York walked quite unexpectedly into
the Catholic.congress wlAlo it wus In pro
gress at the Art institute today nnd rccolvcd
a veritable ovation , which brought u smile
of profound gratltlcalion to the intellectual
features of the distinguished ccclesiasl.
With a manner lhat was delightfully
free from the slightest traces of embarrassv"
mcnt , iho archbishop , stepping to tlio edge
of the platform , looked down upon the sea of
upturned 1 faces , and In a few lumpy words
thanked his hearers for the reception whicli
they had tendered him. Ho spoke shortly ,
He said ho wanted to take occasion lo say a
few words on the sublime faith which upbr
hold Columbus through all the trials
that preceded his discovery ot America.
Columbus < was a religious enthusiast of
the best sort. The archbishop paid nn elo
quent trlbulo to the great Queen Isabella ot
Spain , whoso religious zeal had , in a largo
measure , insured the success of the discov
erer's enterprise ) and who saw that spiritual
counsellors were among thosd who essayed
the j second Journey to the now world. The
archbishop's address was liberally ap
plauded. Ho made no reference to the school
question or the McGlvim affair.
The day's work In the congress wns
largely in committees and discussions
before many of the sections into which
the congress is i.ividcd , to better con
sider In detail many subjects before it.
Among the addresses was one on "Trade
Combinations , Strikes and Arbitration , " by
Colonel It , M. Douelass , .son of tlic , late
Stephen A. Douglass. The other speakers
were I'rnnk J. ShoriUan of Dubuque , and 12.
M. Sharon of Davenport.
liitemporitiu'o tliul Its flvmotlj' .
Enthusiastic appl.iuso greeted the Intro
duction of Hov. James M. Cloary of Minne
apolis. His paper on "Intemperance
Evil and IJemcdy , " was interesting and
timely. Thn reverend dolcg.uo was enthusi
astic and eloquent In his denunciation of
drunkenness. The Catholics did not properly
appreciate the ravaging increase of the
curse of drink , he said. Catholics ,
expected too much of the church. The
church could not save drunken men , could
not overcome the evil of drunkenness , unless
the children of the church helped it with
their ballots , He was not hero , ho said , to
advocate the cause of the prohibition party ,
but he said the idea that some Catholics had
that they could not bo consistent
church members und prohibitionists , tuo ,
was erroneous. Ho abjured Catholics to
forego the use of strong drink. He a sited
them to make it Impossible for saloons to
crdwd right up to the doors of the churches ,
and said : "lo not let saloon keepers bo
vour representatives , cither socially or po
litically. "

out of Orlando ! on the southein bound
ary of the Strip , last evening a
man on a hor.se started out bcslJo
the train. When the train got away from
the town and entered the Strip it struck a
heavy up grade and ran slow enough for the
horseman to keep up with it.
When the man caught up with the express
car ho tried to get m the door off the back of
his horse. The messenger , realizing that un
attempt was being made to rob the express
car in a novel manner , opened fire on him ,
The ground over which the mm : was riding
was very rough , and his horse , after stum
bling several times , fell to his knees , throw-
lug the woilld-b'o robber over his head. The
train had by this lime got to the top of the
grade , und as it increased its momentum ,
the express messenger fired a parting : shot
at the man on thu ground.

upon the existing- troubles of the Union

ililion of alTnirs on the ro.id. 1 shall see Mr.

length. "
"It has been rumored that the Union Pa-
clllu Is on the verso of a receivership. la
there any foundation lor such a report ! "
uskcd the reporter.
President '
Clark's answer was a prompt
and emphatic negative.
lU'Colverslilp Humor Denied.
"I have read such a rumor in the papers
,
but it is not warranted , " ho replied. "I
liave not been advised of anything officially
that would warrant such an assertion. I
think that if the Union Pacific was going
into the hands of , - receiver , that I would bo
liable to know something of it. I think such
rumors are merely tl.o products of
imagination. While the business of
the Union Pacillo lias fallen oft to
a largo extent , and retrenchment in operat
ing : expenses has been necessary , I do not
think that the road will bo put Into Iho
hands of a receiver. It Isn't that bad. Aa
I said before , I have boon away , and 1 sup
| pose Air. Dickinson covered the ground
pretty thoroughly in his Interview In TUB
DKB the other day. Business on the road
will doubtless pick up soon. "
"There is seine rumor of a strike on west

posed cut In wages , " ventured the reporter.
' I do not think that cither ofliclals or em
ployes desire to have a strike on the .system

"Will the salaries that have been reduced

"You can quote mn as authority for tlio
statement that reduced salaries will bo restored -

but temporary. Just as soon ns business ro-
vlves und permits a restoration of salaries ,
