Mr Richardson of Tonnes SOO, tho minority leader, interrupted V tho reading to ask whothor tho r?solu.. tl?nroquired unanimous oonsont. ? -"Itdooa not,"ropliod tho spoakor. . ," "It;is offered as a mailor of privilogi."

"Tho loading has not proooodod far '\r enough to dotormino that point," re sponded tho spoakor. NO QUORUM PRE8ENT. 'Mr. Underwood of Alabama imno dlatoly mado tho point that thoro was ho quorum present. Tho spoakor glanced about tho houso. Evidently thcro was no quorum pros ... ont. "Tho ohair will count," he said. Tho houao was counted and whon tho speaker announced 111 presont-not a quorum-Mr. Undorwood immediately moved an adjournment. Tho ayes and nays woro domandod and obtained upon this motion. During tho roll oall thoro woro hurriod consultations on both nidos of the houso. Many of tho Republicans woro takon aa'muoh by surpriao aa tho Donioorata. Tho lattor dooidod to filibuster to tho last ditch. Tho motion to adjourn was lost 68 to 69; answering prosont but not vot ing 14; notod pro8ont2; total 179. Tho spoakor inoiudod himself in order to .. mako up tho quorum. Whon tho road ing of tho resolution was oonoludod Mr. Riohardson inaistod that tho reso lution was not privileged, Ho arguod that tho resolution should go to a com mittee. Mr. Olmstoad in reply arguod that tmdor tho constitution, inattora affect ing tho reapportionment of roptoaont ativos woro of tho highest oonatitu tional priviloge and cited an olaborate opinion of Spoakor Koifer, in tho forty seventh o?ngroaB, in support of hia position. MATERS OF PRIVILEGE. Spoakor Randall, ho aaid, had also hold that an apportionment bill waa a mattor of tho highost privilogo. ilia resolution, ho oontondod, Rooking as it did to dotormino tho constitutional baals of roprcaontation, wag equally N privileged. Tho house, ho argued? eould not aot intelligently UOIOBB it . . was advised in what StatoB and to what extant tho auffrago of oitizbna of tho United Statoa had boon abridged. . Mr. Olmstoad said tho roaolution t touched tho dignity of the houao itsolf. .? If the suffrage had boon abridgod in eortain Staion thon members wore un justly and unconstitutionally holding 1(. j^ata upon this floor and this oonati tuted an invasion of tho dignity of tho h??ao. The matter doalt with by tho roaolu vj t?on might also affoot the election of a president of the United Statos, a mat ter held repeatedly to be a mattor of high privilege Mr. Olmstoad was will ?DK to root his oaso upon tho plaio mandato of tho constitution. Mr. Rlohardson ruado a brief re sponso to Mr. Olmstoad. Hooonoodod that an apportionment bill was privi leged, but contended that tho resolu tion itsolf was simply ono of inquiry to aaoortain faols which might or might not bo truo. ' Tho resolution oloarly rooitos that in oortain States suifrago, has boon abrjdgod without roduotion of rc pre sentation," interposed Mr Olmstoad. "Tho 'whoro?V makes euch a allo gftlisn," replied'Mr. Richardson, ''but tho ' resolution is simply ono of in .Hiity. "How oan wo apportion constitution ally," asked Mr. Mahon of Pennsylva nia, "if wo do not know tho facta? How oan wo asoortain tho truth of tho allocation that hundrods of thousands of oitizons aro dihfrunohiood?" "An investigation oan bo mad<V' ro pltod Mr. Iliohardsoo, "but it must bo uudo in tho regular .way." THE BPKAKEU'S RULING.

Somo limo ago Senator Morgan in tioduood a resolution oalling upon tho navy depart mun t for information na to ho difforonao in tho mouoy oost of a voyage by a naval vossol from Now York to Manila by way of tho Straits of Magellan or tho Suez oanal and tho proposed Nicaragua oanal. In reply tho soorotary of tho navy has Bont to tho son ato a lot of tabloa showing tho oost of voyagos rn ado by different ships, but they aro aooompaniod by no explana tions and aro not intelligible to tho or dinary roador. This and other com munications show that naval offioora are not effioiont in furnishing infor mation as thoy aro in fighting and Bail mg ships, but a pationt examination of tho tablos discloses some interesting information. The distanco from Now York to Manila by way of tho Suas oanal is 12 706 milos, and by way of thc Straits of Magolian 19,832 miles. When tho Nicaragua oanal IB built tho voyago via Honolulu and Guim ..wU >iAt oned to 12.260 milos. Thoro Booms to bo a groat difforenoo botwoon tho oost of Bailing VCBSOIB, somo hoing more ooonomioal than oth ers. This doponds largoly upon tho oap tain and moro upon tho onginoor. Tbo saino rule applies to a ship that applies to a kitchen. Gao cook can nerve tho same family with tho Bamo kind of food at much loss cost than anothor. It in also a question of economy and skill. Thoro is a difforonoo in ships also, but oomparativoly little. An examination of tho tabl?n shows that it cost tho Orogon, under Capt. Clark. $98 253 to mako hor famous voy age of 14,064 miloa from San Francisco to Key Wost during tho war. She wan pushod to hor utmost spocd, as you will remombor, but sho hal tho best of oap tains ar. 1 tho most oarcful and skill ul of onginoora. Sho was stripped for fighting. Sho fooled away no timo, but tended striokly to business. On tho othor hand, it oost Admiral Dowoy $155,335 to bring tho Olympia homo from Manila, a distanoo of 12,749 milos, although sho had only about half tho orow and half tho tonnngo of tho Oro gon, But that was a pionio. Sho carno along slowly, stepped at varions places and had a good timo. Thcso figur?n in clude ooal, wagos of tho mon, subsist ?noo and all othor oxpenaos. lt cost tho Orogon $140,734 to go from Now York to Manila a distanoo of 19,832 miloa by way of tho Straits of Magellan, i?onlulu and other ports on route The ?arno diff-.'-ronoo will bo found in tho (.maller vosaols. Tho Nashvtllo and tho .Holcna"aro about tho samo sieo, and wont to Ma nita about tho same timo, tho voyago being approximately 12,000 milos, yet it oost $44.262 for tho Kolona and only $29,520 for tho Nashville Tho Buffalo is twion aa largo and has twice tho .orow of tho Now Orloans, y ot it oost tho for mor $42,767 and tho lattor $46,594 to make tho samo voyago. It cost tho Buffalo 20 por cont, moro to roturn from Manila than to mako tho outward voyago. This was duo to tho oaptains and the onginoors. Tho Prinooton and tho Mariotta aro about the samo S?KO-1,000 tons ono h and both made tho samo vo} ago, 11,800 milos, to Manila. It oost the Mariotta $23,317 and tho Prinooton $27,499. Thoro is an even greator oontrast bo tween tho ooat of running tho Brooklyn and tho Olympia. Tho later, a oruisor of 6, 870 tons, Bpont $155 335 oma voyago from Manila to Now york, while tho . Brooklyn, with 9,215 tons and orow largor in tho same proportion oost $59 392 for tho bamo voyago through tho Sues oanal. A Gas Pipo Bomb.
