yelling and firing rapidly with revolvers.
The ,watchmen fled after firing a few times
In return. F

Senator Henderson's amendment Is view

Most of the afternoon was taken up In
discussion of the House bill to amend the

military and naval officers from prosecu-
ton for seizure, arrest, etc. The discussion
on this bill was animated and very thor
ough, and judging from the Views express
ed by alarge number of Senators. one would
have been Inclined TO suppose the passage
of the bill was at least doubtful; but when
at length the vote was taken, the bill passed
| by thirty ayes to only four nays-the latter
| cast by Democrats.
| Mr.. Edmunds who made forcible
speech against the general principle of the
| bill. and from which 1t would appear that
he had insuperable objections to the meas
ure, finally voted for the bill, as did others
who had argued strongly against it. These
seemingly inconsistent votes In the affirm
alive are supposed to have been given upon
| the ground that the bill, though assuming
questionable constitutional powers, as ar
gued by Mr. Edmunds, Mr.. Cowan and
others, Is better than to leave the matter
open and unsettled. thus subjectlng officers
| TO innumerable suits.
| If the President shall adopt the views of
the Senators above named as expressed In
the Senate in the discussion of this meas
ure, we may look for the return of the bill
