Nothing Startling Attendant t pon the CniAliing of Old Leginlative ItarrierH In t h<* IloiiHe—Chinene Treaty Laid Aside. Tariff Agreement Iteneued For the Week -National Topics* Washinqton, April 18.—The house yesterday, by an overwhelming vote, decided to a<lopt a tinorum-counting rul» which for all practical purjtoses is the same as that which ex-Speaker Reed of Maine inaugurated during the Fifty-first congress and which won for him a worldwide reputation. Neither undue excitement nor tumultuous scenes marked the crushing of the old legislative harriers. Mr. Reed ami the Republicans generally were in a delightful humor over the victory they had achieved. Those who expected Mr. Reed would taunt and gibe his political adversaries with their alleged inconsistency were disappointed. Only 16 minutes on a side were allowed for debate, and Mr. Reed, instead of consuming that with an arraignment of the Democrats, good naturedly distrilmtedly most of it to Democrats who desired to oppose the new rules, and when his time was exhausted he jocularly asked for more time to dole out among his friends on the other side. Messrs. Bryan, Cummings, Wheeler, Kilgore ami Russell were the Democrats who were thus given an opportunity to protest against the adoption of the rule. When the vote was taken 47 Democrats voted against it, but it secured every Republican vote and carried by a vote of 212 to 47, The Populists did not vote on the proposition. The adoption of this rule, taken in conjunction with the decision to enforce the old law of 1848 to dock the salaries of members absent save on account of sickness, will, it is thought, put an end forever to luirliamentary obstruction. The enforcement of that law will keep members at their post of duty, and the rule will prevent them from refusing to participate in legislation when they are present. After the adoption of the rule it only required a few minutes to •-traighten out the parliamentary tangle which the house had been in for some days, and the house then qu’etly proceeded with the consideration of the consular and diplomatic bill. Mr. Hitt made a strong speech, arraigning the foreign policy of the administration, in the course of which he severely scored the president for appointing Van Alen minister to Italy as a reward for his foO.OOO political contribution. The Indiana members who voted against the rule were Bynum, Conn, Cooper, Holman and Martin. None of the Ohio representatives voted in the

negative.

Mr. Reed was surrounded by party friends and given an ovation, and some one sent a large bunch of roses to his desk. Some of the Democrats got up a counter demonstration over Mr. Cutchings. TREATY LAID ABIDE. Senate I)«*layR CoiiKiileration of the Chinese Document Until May 3. Washington, April 18.—The senate yesterday, after minor business, agreed to the existing agreement for five hours' tariff debate each day for a week longer. During the course of this discussion Senator Mills remarked that general debate on the bill should close on Tuesday next. "Well, it won’t,” came in chorus from the Republicans. Senator Hill wanted to know if agreement precluded the senate from taking np the free list, and it was agreed that it did not. Senator Morgan asked leave of al>sence until May 3, which was granted, and then an executive session was begun. Senator Mitchell's proposition to consider the Chinese treaty in open session was laid aside after some discussion until Mr. Morgan's return, and open session was resumed. Senator McLaurin of Mississippi made his maiden speech in the senate, supporting the tariff bill, and was followed by Mr. Smith (Dem.) of New Jersey in an attack on the income tax

provision.

Mexico Moving fora Monetary Conference* Washington, April 18.—Another international monetary conference, this time perhaps to be held in the city of Mexico, is among the probabilities. The Mexican government, through its diplomatic representatives, is quietly pressing upon the attention of the powers the feasibility of again undertaking an adjustment of the monetary question, and the time is believed to be ripe for further effort in that direction. Lcttercarrlem* Siilaricn. Washington, April 18.—Representative Dunphy of New York has introduced a bill fixing the rates of pay of lettercarriers in cities of more than 75,000 people: For the first year, $1100; second year, $800; third year. $1,000; fourth year and thereafter. $1,200.

Hoar’* Lottery Hill. Washington, April 18.—Senator Hoar, from the committee on the judiciary, has made a favorable report on his hill for the suppression of the lottery traffic. The bill was amended to a considerable extent in committee.

UepreHentatlven of Three DiviMlou* of the WaluiKli In Conference on a New Wage Schedule—Kansan Miners Decline to Enter the National Strike—Pennsylvania Coke Strikers Held For Murder* St. Paul, April 18.—The end of the fourth day since the American Railway union declared a strike on the Great Northern found the strike extended over all the lines of the company, except a short distance from this city, and of the 4,495 miles of the system not to exceed 200 miles is in operation. This has been accomplished thus far without anything threatening, and the men say there is no danger of any trouble. They are determined, however, and will allow no trains to be made up or to be moved. The last part of the system to be affected by the strike is eastern Minne<ota. The men on this branch line are restless and want to strike. A Helena (Mont.) special says a telegram from General Manager Case of the Great Northern asks the men to send ! representatives to St. Paul, with full authority to settle matters under the laws of the American Railway union. The men replied that Eugene Debs and George Howard, now in St. Paul, are authorized to act for the union. Did Not \U>&it 1'utit Saturday* Dubois, Pa..

At Rockford the license issue was a hotly contested one and the next council will stand nine to five in favor of license. In Benton and some other small jioints high license

In villages and cities where party politics was an issue the Republicans seem to have the best of it. In Jerseyville, Naperville, Kankakee, Ottawa, Decatur ami other towns. Republican success was marked. In some of these places the A. P. A. element was active. On the license features the latest returns show that victories were more evenly divided between the two factions.

Brother-ln-luw, With Whom He Is Involved in h Contest for Property—Attorney \. C. Harris Shot In the Arm.

Neither Seriously Hurt Stnte New*.

Indianapolis, April 18.—Imlianajiolis was dreadfully excited yesterday afternoon over first reports of a shooting which occurred in the law office of Miller, Winter & Elam, on East Market street, in which Attorney A. C. Htrris and William H. Bruning of New York were injured by the random firing of William M. Copeland of Madison, Ind. First n p >rts said each was fatally injured; investigation proved that neither was seriously wounded. Mr. Harris' injury was to the left arm and Bruning was shot in the left cheek and in the arm. Five shots were fired, but all

others were wide of the mark.

Copeland, who is the brother-in-law of Bruning, has been involved with the latter in a contest for property of the senior Bruning, in which $50,000 is involved, and it was arrang#! that depositions should be taken today in the case. Yesterday, however, Miller. Winter & Elam sent word to Copeland’s attorney, A. t ’. Harris, that this would have to lie delayed on some account. Copeland called on his attorney yesterday, and when this fact was suggested he appeared aggrieved. Mr. Harris then agreed to go with him to the office of Miller, XVmtor & Elam to see it the matter could not be arranged. They entered together, and Ixith disclaim knowledge that Bruning was present. Ho was, however, sitting in a chair in the corner of the office, and no sooner had he been noticed by Copeland than the latter pulled a revolver and began tiring. Mr. Harris was injured in trying to prevent a second shot. A desperate struggle then ensued between Mr. Win-
