THE books of one pawnbroker in Philadelphia show that from 123 loans, aggregating £2,110, he reccived interest in seven weeks amounting to-$2,004.50, which was at the rate of 720 per cent. per annum.

had expected to spend his summer among the Berkshire hills, where he was born. He was engaged in writing his autobiography. Only last Wednesday he remarked: ‘“My one great ambition is to have my codes adopted all over the world. They are written and published. It is only a question of time when they will be accepted.” | :

Mr. Field’s estate is valued at between $500,000 and $1,000,000.° Thg property is unimcumbered. Mr. Henry M. Field, his brother, said that the | bulk of his estate will be held in trust for- the grandchildren until they be-! come of age. - : o | When the news of Mr. Field’s death became known Mayor Gilroy ordered: the flags on the city hall displayed at half mast, and, the flag over the Lawyer's club in the Equitable building ' was also lowered. Judge Prior, sitting in part 1 of the court of common pleas, ‘ Judge Bookstaver, -holding a speciall term of the court of common pleas, and Judge Giererich in part 3 of the court | of common pleas, adjourned court when they heard of Mr. Field’s death. [Mr. Field was born at Haddam, Conn., and® was educated at Williams college. He studied la.wsl was admitted to practice when 23 years I old and ‘began his legal career in this city, He was chiefly known as a public man for his‘ labors in the cause of law reform. AsHa,vingl been appointed in 1847 by the legislature of his state a commissioner on practice and pleading, he took an active part in the preparation of a new €ode -of procedure. He was intrusted by the state in 1857, as president of a commission, with tbe task of preparing a politicas code, a penal code, and a civio <code, containing “the entire body of the law. Mr. Noyes undertook the penal code and Mr. Field the analysis of the political and civil. After many drafts and eight successive reports had been made the ninth and final report was submitied to the legislature in February, 1865. Mr. Field rewrote the civil code eighteen bi?es. All these law reforms occupied most of his time for eighteen years. : Other states followed the example of New York. These codes have been adopteu by nearly all thestates and, in substance, by England and her colonies. An international code was next drawn up. Working with the Law society in England, he drafted a code whieb was afterward published. : 2 * Mr. Field made his first public speech in 1842 at Tammany hall. Two years later he began to rally the anti-slavery remnant of his party to oppose the annexation of Texas. None was more active on the side of free,dom during the Missouri compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska difficulty. He attended many conventions and always spoke against °‘that portion of his party which upheld the slave trade. Mr. Field was a déle- ‘ gate to the peace convention during the last months of the Buchanan administration. :To his influence and that of Horace Greely, at the Chicago convention in 186), the nomination of | Lincoln was largely ascribed. After the war he objected to military rule in the south and argued many celebrated cases against the constitutionality of military commissions. - © In 1878 he attended a meeting at Brussels, which resulted in the formation of an associas tion of cconomists, legislators and law‘yers from all parts of the world for the reform and codification of the lawsof nations. the object being to substitute arbitration for war in the settlement of disputes.” Of this association he was chosen president. In the latter part of 1873 Mr. Field made a tour around the world, being received everywhere with the highest honors permissible to a civilian. : : In 1876 he voted for Mr. Hayes, but being convinced that Mr. Tilden was duly chosen by the people he acted as counsel on the democratic side before the electoral commission. That same year Mr. Field wsis sent to congress. After that he gave little time to public affairs. - . Mr. Field was a member of one of the most noted families of this country. Justice Field of the United States supreme court and Cyrus Field, tather of the ocean, cable, were his brothers. ] pooil > : She Wants a Pension. ; LoNDON., April 16.—The Chronicle says that ex-Queen Liliuokalani has become convinced of the hopelessness of her case and is said to be willing to advocate the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States with a view of obtaining the pension which President Harrison advised.

THE CAUCUS ACTS. House NDemocrats Take Important Actiom on the Quorum Question. Lo WASHINGTON, April 16.—The struggle over the adoption of the new rule to secure a voting quorum was resumed ‘when the house met. The republicans made a preliminary stand against the. approval of the journal. As soon . as it had been read Mr. Boutelle jumped to his feet and objected, and when Mr. Dockery moved its approval, the republicans sat silent in their seats. Upon the announcement of the vote, 105—0, Mr. Boutelle made the point-of no fquorum and the roll was called. The republicans refrained from voting, and the result, 155 to 1, showed that the democrats were twenty-three short of a quorum. Mr. Dockery then moved a call of the house, instructing his side to vote down the motion, in tke hope of developing a democratic quorum. But pgain the democrats failed to get a quorum. The motion for a call was defeated, 140—14. The democrats were still twenty-five short. . The prospect of a quorum was hopeless, and, as it had been decided to. call a democratic caucus to consider the rules, Mr. Dockery moved an adjournment, and at 1 o’clock the housé adjourned. WASHINGTON, April 16. — After a heated session of two hours and a half the: democratic caucus Friday afternoon decided by a vote of 80 to 44 to instruct the committee on rules to report a new rule to ascertain and record the presence of a quorum, whether voting or not.

Va.) offered a gesolution directing the committee.on rules to formulate and' present a rule to ascertain and record the presence of a quorum, whether voting or not. Mr. Outhwaite (0.) suggested a, different method of accomplishing the same purpose. . Speaker Crisp took the floor and made a vigorous speech, pointing out the deplorable 'position in which the house found itself on account of continued and persistent absenteeism. Quite a number’ of speeches were made in opposition te any and all rules looking to the counting of members who refused to vote. Messrs. Kilgore: (Tex.), Bryan (Neb.), McMillin (Tenn.),. Wheeler (Ala.) and Williams (I1L) led the opposition. o . Mr. Cummings (N. Y.) made a speech against the proposition to count a ‘quorum, atthe conclusion of which he sent up to the desk an amendment to the title of any new rule which should be reported for this purpose so as to make it read: °‘‘A rule to nominate Thomas Brackett Reed for president of the United States.” Mr. DeArmond (Mo.) offered a resolution expressing it as the sense of the caucus that the committee on rules should prepare a mnew rule for aseertaining the presence of a quorum and also some method for compeiling the attendance -of absent members. Mr. McCreary (Ky.) moved to refer all the resolutions to the committee on rules. The motion was lost—s 9 to 65. Mr. DeArmond’s resolution was adopted by a two-thirds majority—Bo to 44. This completed the work of the caucus. ,

REVIEW OF TRADE. i Manby Obstacles Reported in the Way of I Rusiness Improvement. , = | - ! NEwW YORK, April 16.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s week.y review of trade says: “Business improvement meets many Obstacles and is scarcely as distinct asit has been in recent weeks. 'Strikes-have checked the: improvement in building and some other trgdes, and scarcity of coke has caused the closing of some iron works, while a strike of- all bituminous coal miners is ordered and may prove serious. . More favorable crop reports than were expected, which justity ‘larger hope for next fall, have arrested the upward tendency in prices of products. The renewil of gold exports occasions much disquietude, but the gradual exhaustion of goods in the hands of | dealers makes the consumption of the people more distincly felt ana apparently larger, and this demand increases with the gain in'the number of Hands at work. : “It cannot be said that the uncertainty as to the future has materially diminished, but there is evidently a growing - impression that . there will be no' important legislation on the currency or the tariff. This impression, whether erroneous or not, influences the action of many. On the whole. though progress is still obstructed by . uncertain ties; it has not been arrested. The most cheering sign is'the decrease in importance of | commercial failures, for though one mortgage | loan concern has failed with liabilities of §5,500008, the liabilities in all commercial failures for. the first week of April were only $2,190,8)6, of | which 80,567 were of manufacturing and §l,228,240 of trading concerns. The failures this | week have been 218 in the United States, against | 187 last year, and 34 in Canada, against 22 last’ week.’”’ ! !
