assembled at the United States court
room voted unanimously for Spencer.
This body lacks, it is alleged, two in the
Senate and several in the House of O
legal quorum. The body assembled at
the Capitol had eighteen members OF the

several persons. In the House, no quo.

during which Soofield referred to Banks
as having sympathized with the efforts

Spain. Banks denied that he had ever
syEpathized with such efforts, but lie
had introduced the bill because the Sec.
retary OF the Nnvy had declared to men1-
bcrs of the House TINT hc was afraid
events had occurred in the Gulf Of Nox-
leo which would require the Govern.
