TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
The Olmstoad resolution was offorod
immediately aftor tho roading of tho
journal. A flurry onsuod on tho Demo
oratio sido. 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."
"I mako tho point that tho resolution
.' .'doos not oopatituto a mattor of privi
logo/' said Mr. Richardson.
. "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.
Tho spoarkor thon announood that
tho question was oloarly Bottled by
Sootion 2 of Arliolo 14 of tho oonstitu
lion, whioh ho dircotod tho olork to
read lt rolatod lo tho roduotion of
ropro8cntatiou in States whoro tho

whioh tho constitution cxproBsly pro

a highor rulo thau thoso of tho house
-the constitution of tho Unitod States.
Ho said ho ntvor oxpootod to pass
upon a question moro simplo. Ho
ovorrulod tho point of ordor.
Mr. Uhdorwood iaimodiatoly raisod
tho question of consideration against
tho" resolution. Oo a rising voto itt
stood ayes 69. noos 70. Tho ayos and
noofl woro demanded and ordered. Tho
speaker aunouuood tho voto 81 to con

Ho dirooted a call of tho houso, pond
ing whioh Mr. Underwood again movod

THE COST OF VOYAGE^
Expon ses of Notable Trips of Somo
Noted Cruisers.
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

Whilo two of tho dotootives stood
