THE HOUSE.
Washington, May 11. Three hun
dred and twenty pension bills were
passed by the house today in one hour
and a half. This record has never
been equalled in the disposition of pen
sion legislation, Mr. Capron of Rhode
Island, in the chair, developing auctioneer-like
qualities of the first rank.
During the consideration of the bills,
Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, raised, the
point of "no quorum" and until the
chair hazarded a guess that a quorum
was present the wheels of legislation
stood still. After 15 minutes spent in
counting Mr. Capron found enough
present and the voice of the reading
clerk and the voice of the acting
speaker once more sounded in unison
until all the pension bills were passed.
The house devoted much time to
considering a point of order made
against an appropriation for a new
steel floating dock provided in the
naval appropriation.
The chair held the point of order well
taken.
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, made a vigor
ous attack upon the court martial sys
tern in the navy and especially criticis
ed the officers responsible for the ac
cidents that have happened to ships of
the navy.

Washington, May 11. Senator Bai
ley's non-suspension amendment ap
plying to orders of the inter-state com
merce commission as covered by the
railroad rate bill, which has occupied
so much of the attention of the senate
in connection with that bill was today
adversely disposed of by the decis
ive vote or 23 to 54, practically a party
vote. The debate on the provision
was limited to a brief political speech
by Senator Bailey, in which he said the
president has changed his attitude on
the question of maintaining the rate
fixed by the commission until the
courts reach a final decision.
An amendment offered by Senator
Rayner confirming the court review to
constitutional questions was also vot
ed down, bur not until after speeches
had been made by Messrs. Rayner and
Bailey in advocacy, and Messrs. Alli
son, Fulton and Cullom, in opposition,
The debate was in anticipation of the
discussion that is. expected to occur
upon the Allison court review provis
ion tomorrow.
Messrs. Rayner and Bailey contended
that the Allison amendment authorizes
the broadest possible court review, and
the Maryland senator urged that in
it Senator Aldrich had achieved a sig
nal victory.
Senator Fulton stated that he had
first suggested the language of the Alli
son provision.
A number of other amendments, of
fered in the main by democrats and by
Senator JLaFollette, were rejected. The
votes were generally along party lines
during the entire day, but the Wiscon
sin senator voted with the democrats
In all propositions, and Messrs. Mc
Enery and Morgan, democrats, voted
with the republicans on most of them.
The only amendments accepted dur
ing the day were those offered by Sena
tor Allison striking out the phrase
"Fairly remunerative" in the provision
allowing the inter-state commerce com
mission to fix rates; limiting the oper
ations of orders of the commission to
two years, and making the inter-state
commerce commission the defendant in
suits challenging the rates fixed by. it..
The anti-pass provision heretofore
adopted was again,discussed. It is evi
dent that it will be .modified.
The senate began at 11 a. m. and
closed at 5:50 p. m. The senate will
meet at 11 again tomorrow.
Senator LaFollette offered an amend
ment providing for sending back to the
Inter-state commerce commission for
its consideration any case in which new
evidence is presented to the court re
viewing the case, the court staying its
action while the commission is considr
ering this testimony. The amendment
was voted down 26 to 49, the demo
crats generally voting with Mr. La
Follette in the affirmative, and the re
publicans in the negative. A substi
tute for the entire section four was of
fered by Mr. LaFollette. In addition to
giving authority to fix a maximum rate
the provision authorized the fixing of
a minimum rate, and also gave the
commission authority over the classifi
cation of freights. It was rejected after
a debate on the maximum rate ques
tion in which Senators LaFollette, Dol
liver and Bailey participated. Mr. La
Follette and Mr. Bailey agreed on the
wisdom of an absolute rate. There was
a sharp controversy between Mr. Bai- I
ley and Mr. UOIllver as io wueiuer iue
latter had not originally favored the
fixing of a minimum rate. The Texas
senator contended that the Iowan had
said that ho agreed with the position
taken by him in his four hours speech,
and Mr. Dolliver that if he had at
tempted to agree with that entire de
livery he would be "greatly bewilder
ed," to which Mr. Bailey responded
that that was his antagonists "usual
condition". '
Section 5, the court section of the
bill, was then read, and the amend
ments of Mr. Allison striking out the
provision regarding the time when
orders of the commission shall take ef
fect, and providing that the inter-state J )?

San Francisco, May 11. All saloon
licenses in San Francisco today were
ordered revoked by unanimous vote of
the board of police commissioners on
suggestion of Mayor Schmidt, who
said that he had decided that all sa
loons should remain closed for an in
definite period. He attributed the ab
sence of crime and the presence of or
der since the conflagration to the fact
that the edict against the selling of
liquor had been rigidly enforced.
In discussing this sweeping order
the commissioners were a unit in voic
ing the sentiment that the future wel
fare of -the city would be enhanced by
a fewer number of drinking places. A
number of saloon proprietors are build
ing temporary structures in which
they hope soon to be permitted to dis

sioners issued a warning, advising
them that the number of saloon li
censes to be issued in the future
would be greatly curtailed, and that it

cannot be used."

St. Petersburg, May 11. -The hope of
the establishment of friendly relations
between the emperor and the national
parliament was- further strengthened
today by the audience granted by Em
peror Nicholas at Peterhof 1 to Prof.
Mouromtseff, the president of the low
er house. Prof. Mouremtseff returned'
to St. Petersburg from the audience
apparently much impressed by the
emperor's earnest interest in the prob
blems of the country. Though the radi
cal hotheads had been praying that
Prof. Mouremtseff would lay down tha
law to the emperor, and make a scene.
the half hour's conversation was skil
fully kuided by both the sovereign and
the parliamentary chief, so that fric
tion was avoided. To the constitu
tional democratic members of the
house, who awaited his return from
Peterhof at the Constitutional Club,
Prof. Mouremtseff spoke only briefly,
laying especial emphasis on the empe
ror's courtesy and consideration, and
his thorough knowledge of the senti
ment in the parliament and society.
Prof. Moiiremtseff said political ques
tions were not gone into, as he had re
garded it as not fitting that the pres
ent representative chamber should pre
sent at an official audience the views
of Any one group or body. The burn
ing subject of the reply to the speech
from the throne probably will not be
reached at tomorrows session of the
lower house, the time of which body
will be taken up with the election of
officers, the adoption of necessary
rules of procedure, and the appoint
ment of a committee on credentials.
A commission to investigate the
agrarian problem .perhaps will be ap
pointed. Both the vice presidents will
be constitutional democrats, the peas
ants, though at first insisting. that, ihey
be given one place, having been unable
to agree upon one of their number.
The central committee of the consti
tutional democrats ds working out a
reply to the speech from the throne
The principal points will be amnes
ty and equality of political and civil
rights. But a faction is insisting on a
demand for the abolition of the coun
cil of the empire. An attempt will be
made to come to an agreement with "
the peasants who are drawing up an
independent reply. Their chief de
mands are amnesty, the reorganization
of the labor laws, the reorganization of
the army, the disbanding of the Cos
sacks, the separation of church and
state, a general extension of the
schools, and equal rights for all na
tionalities.
The third act in the great drama of
Russian parliamentarism, the formal
opening of the recognized council of
he empire or upper house or tne par-
iament, took place at two o'clock this
afternoon in the hall of the noble3, at
he winter palace. After Gount Scls-
ky, president of the upper house, had
declared the session. open the transac
tion of business began. It consisted of
he announcement of the appointments
of officers and the signing of the oath
of office. The only surprise was the
reading of an announcement that
Count Witte was a working member of
the council, the omission of his name
from the previous disaster having been
interpreted as deliberate slight, which
