He is confident that on Saturday Monday at the farthest will resent to pass the bill During the call for committees to report Mr Wise of Virginia, from tlie committee on terstate and foreign commerce, reported back the New York and New Jersey Bridge bill and the accompanying veto of the presi dent with the recommendation that the bill do not pass over the veto. Mr. Cumings, rising to a personal expla- natfon, stated that some time ago he intro- duced a popular loan bill. Since then m bers had received copies of an amendment to the bill which they appeared to think came from him. He denied all responsibility for it and, moreover, expressed his unalterable opposition to it. Mr. Bland then moved to mittee of the whole for the further cons sideration of the seigniorage bill. Pending that motion, he again made a fruitless effort to fix the limit of the debate. He suggested that it close tonight, then tomorrow, and finally agreed to let the debate go on until aturday. But to eacheproposition Mr. Bur- rows objected, stating that it was in the power of the majority to the close the de- bate. After house acterized strong ure ching t and that or be speec a quorum go into com- the house had gone Into the com- mittee of the whole Mr. Bland asked the privilege of of making a personal explana- tion concerning an Incident connected with the specch of Mr. Walker yesterday. Mr. Walker, he said, had quoted from one of his speeches, in which he rep! ed as admitting the possibility of fhe depreciation of the silver dollar to the price of bullion. He did not dispute the accuracy of the re- port of his speech, but the words had been spoken in the heat of the debate and did not represent his views. There was, he said, an active and universal demand for silver’ for use in the arts. Under the clrcumstances it would be strange, he sald, if bullion silyer nd_coined silver had the same yalue. He. urged, however, that once there was free and unlimited coinage of silver the demand for the bullion for colnage purposes would Lring both coin and bullion silver to _ par. “Then you withdraw !what Mr. Waiker auoted?” said Mr. Reed. “I withdraw neth- ing; I care nothing about it.” “You appear to care enough retorted Mr. Reed, sarcastically.

Mr. Simpson of Kansas followel in advocacy of the bill. He humorously re ferred to the fact that the bankers seemed only themselves competent to discuss the currency question, yet Mr. Walker of Massa- chusetts had been brave enough to enter the arena and, according to the cong al directory, he was a shoemaker. “If a shoe- maker can discuss finance, why can’t a farmer?” (Laughter) Mr. Simpson an- nounzed himself as in favor of the bill. Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania opposed the pending measure in a brief speech, in which he argued that the enactment of the bill would wreck the credit of the government. The mass of the people was in favor of the use of both gold and silver—bimetallism. The republican party sought to achieve that and by safe, conservative methods, while the democratic party, under the leadership of Mr. Bland, was attempting it by a revolu- tion in our financial system and must in- evitably result in silver monometallism Mr. Boatner and Mr. Enloe of Tenne both supported the bill, while Mr. Hall of Minnesota opposed It The latter defined selgniorage as the profit arising to the government from a system of petty larceny practiced on the peopl as long as it remained in the treasury as bullion it wouid be a perpetual temptation. He had no doubt At would be coined now or at some other thme. Mr. Goodnight of Kentucky advocated the passage of the bill and criticized the action of Secretary Carlisle in issuing bonds.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION. it 1s Now In National Session in of Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The National Woman's Suffrage assocfation began its twenty-sixth annual convention here this morning in Mezerot music hall, which has been tastefully decorated for the occasion. In the rear of the stage was hung United States, Turkish, British and national woman suffrage flags. The the City intended to represent New York and s, where the woman suffragists hope to ac- complish much. The severe weather of the past few has interfered somewhat with the arriy the delegates, and, in consequence, when the roll was called it showed that only seven- teen states were represented, which Miss Anthony said she considered very good fo the first day, as m y of the delegat were snow-bound. The convention was then called to order by the venerable president Miss Susan B, Anthony, who aske Rev. Anna Shaw to offer prayer, after ich Mi: Anthony, in a brief speech, form- ally opened the proceedings of the conven- tion. She recounted the efforts that have been made before the national and local legislatures for the procurement of suffrage for women and predicted that when victory for woman's cause shall have been finally accomplished and women are enfranchised people will wonder that it had not been granted long ago. The report of the exccutive committee recommended that special effort of the asso- clation be concentrated upon the campaign in Kansas and New York, the two states where there is to be a test vote this year. Mrs. L. D. Blake, member of the execut committee from New York, spoke of tho work there and predicted success for woman suffrage in the coming constitutional conven- tion in New York. Mrs. Laura M. Johns of Kansas said that the work for the enfranchisement of women had progressed further in Kansas than in New York. WILL APPEAL THE CASE. Carroll L. Riker Tak Exception Findings in His Bonds Case.

The competition for the contract wi lively and the prices are regarded as ex- tremely low. CLEVELAND PARALYZED, HIS PARTY. President Cleveland sent to the senate on last Monday about 150 nominations. L than a half dozen were to fill positions oc- cupied by officers’ whose commissions have not yet expired. Nine-tenths of the nomina- tions were to positions held by officers whose commizsions run out more than a month ago, while a dozen or more of the nomina- tlons were to positions which lave been in the hands of officers whose commissions expired some months since. With but one exception, that of a register of a land office at Spokane, Wash., the nominations to offices held by men whose commlissions have not expired gave no time for changes; the time in which the incumbents may continue under their commissions Is less than a week, 50 that it will be #mpossible for the nomi- nees to receive their commissions and take charge before the present commissions have expired. In the case of the land register there are about three weeks of the present commission to run; thus the new officer can succeed the Incumbent immediately upon the expiration of his term. This condition of affalrs relating to ap pointments at the hands of the president is entirely new. It for years been the practice to nominate a postmaster, collec revenue or other officer some weeks in ad- vance of the expiration of the incumbent’s commission, so as to give ample time fc the nomination to be confirmed and the r officer to give bond, receive instructions and familiarize himself with the duties of the office before he assumes control of it.

TO FORCEA QUG the RUM. Scheme to Compel Republicans to V the Honse When Bhey Don't Want T WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Th leaders of the house lave been considerably exercised of late over the disposition mani- fested by the republieans to force them to produce a quorum upon all important prop- ositions submitted to the house. They be- lieve the republicans, under the leadership of Mr. Recd are trylig to compel them to adopt the expeliency, resorted to by the Fifty-first congress, of counting a quorun Journal Clerk Crutehfleld, however, has formulated a rule which will, in his opinion, accomplish the same end in a different wa and the question of adopting it as an amend- ment to the rules Is now under consideration. The rule which he pPopuses is as follows: “Whenever, upon ‘a roll call, a quorum fails to appear, upon the demand of ar member the clerk shall certify a list of th members not voting on such coll to the sergeant-at-arms, who shall deduct from the montkly compensation ‘of each member failing to vote the amount of his salary for one day; provided, that this deduction shall not be made in the ease of a member who is absent by leave of the house.” It is pointed out that this rule wonld simply carry out the provisions of existing laws, which, according to section 40 of the Revised Statutes of the United State quire that every day & member of the hous Is absent, except om aceount of sickn the pay for such day shall be deducted from his salary. Heretofora, however, th geant-at-irms has had np way of ing in an official way who was absent. rule will simply certiy the list of absentees to him only, however, upon occasions when causes a faflure of a quorum. 1 that if the salaries of mem- bers were deducted. when they refused to vote the practice of abbtaining from voting upon important roll ealls would be speedily discontinued, and it is very probable that the method of stopping this abuse devised by Mr. Crutchfield will' be adopted as one of the permanent rules ot the house. democratic Advices fro VANCOUVER, B, (he Far East, - Feb, 15.—The steamer Empress of China bi dvices from China and Hong Kong.

Mr. Thy ton said that the failure of Judge Hallett to make any order on the subject was heid as a refusal to indorse the idea that the re- ceivers have the power to adopt new echeds ules, and it was this apparent clash of clal opinfon that was © discont along the line and making situation almost threatening After some desnltory talk Judge said to Mr. Thurston that the rece taken advantage of the men behind backs WHAT THE LOUIS, and Cowin, wh Thurston secure an order contra dictory and Judge have iver eating the dwell ers had their COURTS MAY DO. o back to Omaha and revoke that ore the judge said, “then I will take youn Prepare and advertise your scheduls and give the men notice, and I think that sixty days might not be unri able. I will come to Omaha and hold a conference with your receivers and the representatives of the labor socleties. and we will see it wo cannot agree upon a schedule that will bo just to the employes, and will be such as the receivers can afford to pay. Mr. Thurston called the attention of Judge Caldwell to the contradictory orders issued by Judges Dundy and Hallett as to the trafiic contract between the Union Pacifio and the Guif branch of that system. Judge Dundy had directed the receivers to disre~ gard that contract and Judge Hallett said that it must be respected. This contract obligated the Union Pacific to “put up foy the bonded indebtedness of the Gulf branch to nearly $1,000,000 a year and the re- ceivers thought prudent business manages ment required that they be relieved of that drain. As matters now are the receivers stand a certainty of being in contempt int one jurisdiction or the other. Judge Caldwell said that he would consult with Judge Sanborn as to whether they had jurisdiction, and reply later. 1t Is given out that Judges Caldwell and Sanborne also told Mr. Thurston that they, would frame a formal order for his guidanco on the subject, the substance of which would be as follows: ime would be fixed for a hearing on the receivers’ petjtion, and ample notice of the time and place of such hearing would have to be given to the officers of all labor ore ons representing tie employes of the der, case. system. The recelvers will be required to grant leave of absence to all such ropresentatives who desire to attend such hearing. Thoe receivers and the employes, when assembled at the time and place appointed, wiil be required to confer together, and, if practic- able, agree upon a sehedule of wagoes. If, after full conference, they should be unable to come to an agreement upon re- porting that fact to the court, the two cuit judges will take the subject up and hear both sides fully and then make such order in the premises as under all the cir- cumstances right ond just.
