CONGRESS There was quorum present in the
House of Representatives yesterday, but none in
the Senate, twenty-four Senators only being in at
tendance. However, it is probable that a quorum
in that body will be present o.day, and, in that
event, the Message will then be laid before the two
Houses.
BY reference to the proceedings of Congress, it
will be perceived that Mr.. Adams, as on the first
day OF the last session, has given notice of his nten-
ton to submit resolution to repeal the 2lst rule of
the House, relating to the abolition Of slavery and
that Mr.. Everett has also given notice that on the
first opportunity which shall be presented, he will
introduce bill TO repeal the Bankrupt Law

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6. 1912.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6, 1912.
All the testimony in the case of M. J. Alexander,
charged with the murder Of Lougee, was finally
got through with this morning, when summing up
of the evidence was commenced by Deputy Attor-
ney Porter, in powerful speech, whlchhe had not
concluded at o'clock, when the Court adjourned
until 4 p M.
The excitement increases instead of diminishing,
and the greatest speculation imaginable is afoa as
to the probable result. OF this, however, nine
enths of the community believe, will be the ac-
quittal of the prisoner. Last evening the Court was
obliged to adjourn at earlier hour than usual in
consequence OF the illness of Juryman Omi
nous.
The speeches Of Gov Pope and the Hon. Geo.
M. Dallas are looked for with wonderful avidty-
they will have the most powerful bearing upon the
minds of the jury-far more so, than all the evi
dence itself The Attorney General Johnson, is an
able and talented lawyer, but he has unfortunately
very dlsagreeable manner of delivery, which fails
to exercise the least influence, and not unfrequent
y disgusts those who are compelled to look at him.

character of the jury-and the favorable impression

taken so lively an interest in the trial He will be

The Office of Sheriff still remains in the hands of
the Coroner, but will most probably be filled on Sa.
turday next by the Governor. 1t is really disgust
