WASHINGTON, 11 arch ,V -llroek met Greek in tin hours'1 Friday, anil for thii brief space (if five minutes a parliament tnry colhujuy was witnessed whieii in aptness of retort has had no precedent I in the present session. On the one side was Speaker Crisp, who stands us the bponsor of the rules of the Fifty-sec-ond congress, and on tho otaer was ex-Speaker Heed, who stands as the. defender of the rules anil methods of the Fifty-first congress. As might naturally be presumed, the vexed question of a quorum and the construction and le^al significance of this term was the subject of tho controversy, and eacli gentleman Is regarded by bis particular partisans as having been the victor in tlie brief parliamentary futillatie of the day.

Almost without warning was the exciting scene precipitated upon the house. The entire day had been consumed in the desultory consideration of unimportant private bills, and Mr. Kilgore (Tox.) made a motion that the house take a recess till S o'clock p. tn. On a division tho vote stood So to S4 Mr. ICnioe demanded tollers, and they being refused, raised the point that no quorum had voted.

Called to Order by Mr. Re«d. '•Tlit? gentleman from-Tennessee,** said the speaker, "makes the point of no quorum on the motion to take arecos*. The chair will have to appoint tellers." "The gentleman does not make the point of no quorum." interposed Mr. Heed, 'Tie makes the point that no quorum has voted.'' "Cnder the rules of the house and Wider the present administration of the hofc-stv' said the speaker, "gentlemen arc feat present unless they vote." Appl&use on democratic side. "ThaC shows, Mr. Speaker, that there has been a new system adopted since the last, ccngress,'* was Mr. Heed's re-

ply-

Idfeiiitit on liU Point.

"That uhowe that the present occupant of the chair .will endeavor to enforce the rules of the house as they now exist," retorted the speaker. [Applause on democrarie side.l "Nevertheless. Mr. Speaker." quickly replied the ex-speaker, "fche.observation I m&de is entirely correct—' namely, tluit tlie point that the gentleman from Tennessee made was that no quorum had votod, while the speaker nates thatj the point he ina4e was 'No quorum.' My observation, notwithstanding the retort of the chair, was entirely correct" ^'l'erhaps it is." said the speaker with dignity, "but entirely out of order." [Democratic applause, "It is entirely correct," persisted Mr. Reed, "and therefore tlie chair bad no right to make such reentries." "The tfc.ntlema.il was correct, but ut the same time he is out of orrtfn," observed the speaker. [Demands for regular order.] "I was entirely in order when 1 called the attention of the chair to the fact." "The chair thinks not." "Entirely in order.'' persisted Mr. Heed. "The eliair thinlcs the gentleman is entirely out of order," reiterated the speaker. "There was no occasion finally such reply. The point was made, not by the gentleman from Maine, but by somebody else—the point of no quorum. The chair entertained the point, whereupon the gentleman from Maine made the suggestion." llefri I.oMng His Tnmpi'r. ''And thereupon,'' interposed Mr. Reed, "I sai. to the chair that the gentleman made the point that no quorum had voted and that the chair stated it to be the point of no quorum, ••which is a different proposition, and I ha.d a right to call the attention of the clitir to thaL The chair had no right to nuike. .such a report, even if he was I supported by disorderly applause upon jj his *i(ta. which he. permitted.'' "The .'hair will state there is no Uistiuction .-vMider the preeut rules of the house be?.veen the point of no quorum and no qyiiVum voting. There was a

Aelt'ilorn Slarl Hie Trmililr. 'i'he troubles at Dan'.zic. like the troubles ut Leipsie and ninny other ])laces, began by a mass meeting of the unemployed, by tiery addresses made by agitators and by heated suggestions upon "the part of socialistic orators. A deWfcntion was then appointed to call upon the chief local magistrate, who Informed the delegation that the local authorities, anticipating some such visit, had taken steps to provide relief works upon which the most needy of the unemployed could find work. Tlie delegation tflen withdrew and later In the diy. some SfiO men from the iinein ployjeil .musses of Dant/.ic were embarked on hoiird strainer, chartered by the local authorities, and were taken up the river to the spot where the relief works were situated. 'ih« Hattln Cry.

After the departure of the steamer the angry feeling which animate*? the hungry army of unemployed laborers began to obtain tke upper band of them. There was much shouting and swearing, many bitter things said about the emperor and then the socialist and anarchist orators begun to harangue the crowds, telling tlicm of their wrongs, of the oppression of the government, and of the cruel bearing of the emperor, with the result that no sooner was the now familiar csy in (Icrinuny of "Hrcad! l'read] liread! Give us bread or give us work" raised by the agitators than a mob of about 12.000 men spread themselves in detachments over the neighborhood and pillaged a number of baker and butcher shops, which were completely gutted of their contents.

Distributed tbf Spoils.

Then there was a Strang.-' scene. Immense piles of stolen meat, and bags uf flour wore gathered ut.convenient spots and the work of equal distribution began. Sturdy rioters guarded these stores of provisions, while others measured out the meat and llour to tho starving men. Ka'-li man was aslccd how many people he had in his family, and upon the number being given, he was handed a piece of meat and a measure or I wo of llour. according to the needs of his household.

Fought th® follcr.

While the work of distribution wa.s going on skirmishing parties of rioters were keeping the police at bay by pelting them with stones or charging bodily upon them and driviug the authorities from the scene of the riot. Other skirmishing parties emptied wine stores, grocery stores, and other places where food anil drink was to be had. until every man among the ri-o*,ii-R had laid ill a stock of provisions Of .»Wjue kind or another. The mob. in spiteyf the rioting, was orderly, if Mich terms van be applied to rioters.

Xi. W IIA N Conn., March —Or. Noah Porter, ex-president of Vale college. diud Friday. Dr. porter has been in feeble health ever sinee an alt»el of the jjrip an«i ])niiiuoi)ia euriy in .lannarv, and liis death is the direct result of his illmkss at tlial time.

Dr. Purler was most generally known to the publie, perhaps, as the principal editor of some revised editions of Webster's dictionary of which Merriain vV. Co. are the publishers, but this was only a part anil by no means the most important part of his jrreat work as an ed neat,or.

AM an KRIIK'UFor.

The greatest progress made by Yale ill the entile period of its existence was during Dr. Porter's presidency from 1S71. when lie succeeded Theodore 0. Woolsey, to 1 SS1, when he resigned. Some of the finest buildings of the institution were erected during this period, including the all school, the l'eabody museum, the new theological schools and the Sloane physical laboratory. The curriculum was also considerably enlarged, especially by the introduction of elective studies, although not at any sacrifice of the required course, of which l)r. 1'orte.r was always an earnest champion as opposed to the elective system as it has been elaborated at Vale., .As un A ut title.

It best known work as an author is t'.ir-l on the "Human Intellect," which is usod us a text book at Vale and many other educutional institutions throughout tin: country. In 1 ss"» he prepared a life of lii^hop Berkeley, followed the next year by "Kant's Ktliies, a Critical imposition."'

Dr. I'orter came uf a remarkable family. His father, after whom lie was named, was a distinguished clergyman and his brot'.-'r Samuel and sister Sarah were both prominent educators. the latter being ihe founder of the young ladies' seminary at Farm:ngton,,Conn. It was at Fnrmin£fton N'oah I'orter, wan born December 14, lell. He graduated from Vale in is:)t,

CuicAiKi, Mtirch ."i.—A face Itrokcn. bruised and discoluri'd, -a scalp mangled and torn, a skull fearfully buttered and fractured. These arc the developments, of the autopsy held at .lanesville. Wis., on the body of Mrs. F. II. Dnnton. Whether the woman was murdered by her son-in-law Dr. Henry Mart.vu Scuddcr, is not yet proved. That she was killed bv somebody there is scarcely the possibility of a doubt. On the head of an aged invalid whose hours Were already numbered are found live ghn.stly wounds, any one of which was sutlleicnt to cause the death of a strong man. Dr. Scmltlcr insists that the almost dying woman rose from her bed and fell upon tlie lloor: that live terrible wounds arc the results of that fall.

When the body of Mrs. Duuton was removed from tint casket at .lanesville Friday a wound was found in the central front portion of the head. c.v-

tending through Ihe skull. Another wound, :J inches long and reaching to the skull, was found just in the rear of the first. A third one. a lutlf-inch ill lc gtli, ami a fourth three times as long, were also found. I

On examining the skull was found a clean fracture 1 inches in length. On top of the head another of the same length and in the same locality. Close to Miese gaping wounds was found one 4 inches long. Another fracture of I I. inches from end to end, and the list is complete. I "These injuries," says Dr. Scndder. "came from a fall on the lloor." "Mrs. Duntou died." reads the death certificate issued by Dr. i.eavitt, "of organic disease of the heart." "I saw Dr. Scndder pound Mrs. Duuton on the head," says Nurse Hannah Johnson.

Parker Dnnton, February 21, was to be examined as to his mental soundness by Judge Brown Friday. But one friend of the prisoner appeared in the court-room, although there were, perhaps, half a dozen in the building. Dr. Scndder himself was not brought iu.

severe cfiVcts of the drought last fall are perceptible sit the present time up on the winter wheat crop in northern Indiana. 'Die winter.' however, has .been favorable for the wheat, ami the weather has not been extremely cold. .There litis been no wheat plowed up yet. Ucfore the 'roads became bad t.hcre was a free movement of wheat, but as they are now itn passable tin* movement has stopped. Millers have li ?ht stocks of wheal, in southern Indiana wheat «s begun to grow a li'tle, l.ittle winter wheat ha* been killed. At this dale it is hard to get correct idea of the condition ol ihe crop. S.itne tiehls look well and fcmne poor, while the general condition docs not favorably compart'' with that of this date one year ngo. Then it was much above the average.•' and now it is just .the reverse. There is little movement, of wheat, and the reserves in farmers' hands ire larger than a year ago.
