that every member on this floor will vote
for my amendment
Mr.. Stamps-I favor this resolution for
simple reasons. We all know that a great
number of the vouchers ought not to be
paid, and that we have no right to pay
them. The members should not pay any
attention to them, for it is only wasting the
time of the House. l am in favor of paying
the warrants of the legal House, but no
others.
am of the opinion, Mr.. Speaker, that
this matter should be referred to a commit
mittee composed of members of each House
Let us act in this matter wisely and judi
ciOusly. Mr.. Garstkamp's amendment is
one that should meet the approval of every
member of this House.
Mr.. Hempstead-I desire to say that this
committee does not have the power to say
that the vouchers are good, but to simply
investigate these claims.
Mr. Stamps-Do understand the gentle
man to say that this committee Is to decide
whether or not these vouchers are correct!
Mr.. Hempstead-NO, sir: this committee
is simply to examine these warrants and
see whether they are made out according to
law. They are to take evidence, showing
by what legal right these warrants were
given, and to say whether they are good or
not. I want the gentleman to understand
that it Is not for the committee to say
whether the warrants should be paid, but
for the House We have pledged ourselves
to reform, and here is where we can COM
mence. We have pledged ourselves to save
the money of Louisiana and we must do it.
If these persons who hold these vouchers
are entitled to the amount let us pay them
like men, but it they are not l say they
shall not have one cent of it.
On motion, the resolution was laid upon
the table.
Mr.. Hempstead-I rise to a privileged
question. do not vote against this for any
personal motive.
Mr.. La Saliniere-I move we adjourn I'M
til twelve o'clock to morrow morning.
Mr.. Hempstead-I have the floor sir, and
am speaking on a privileged question. l
think, Mr.. Speaker that number of these
members have their per diem coming to
them, and they should be paid but there
are so many persons holding warrants that
do not deserve to be paid, and who can not
legally and cOnscientiously claim their re-
demption that object to their payment.
This committee is our only safeguard. and,
sir, we will save the State over 100000 by
so doing.
Mr. Davidson-I beg to inform the House
that the Senate has taken recess until two
o'clock. and there is nothing now before us.
On motion of Mr.. La Saliniere, the House
then adjourned.

tiOnal.
From the New York World
A city national bank yesterday made the
unwelcOme discovery that about $4,000
worth of business paper in its possession,
purchased q few days before in open mark ct,
was forged and valueless. A rumor Of the
swindle In some way got abroad, and as it
advanced, of course, increased in mag
nitude, until no little cOmmOtiOn was created
in Wall street in consequence thereof
Bankers and brokers neglected their pend
ing transactions and instituted. each, an in
dividual search into his effects to see if he
had not, in like manner, been victimized.
Vendors of negotiable paper were looked
at askance, if not with suspicion at least
with caution, and very few transactions of
the kind were made, except with known
responsible parties, or where the paper
would bear the closest scrutiny. Whether
the general overhauling resulted in the
finding of any more OF the spurious COM
modify is not announced, but the general
belief prevails that, with the recklessly
loose manner in which business is con-
Quoted on Wall street, more than one firm
must have been bitten. 1t is said that
various suspicious persons have been
noticed upon Wall street for some time past,
and it is thought that some connection be-
tween these persons and the spurious paper
may be established.
At meeting of the stockholders of the
Eighth National Bank, held on Tuesday, a
committee, consisting of Messrs. Union
Adams, Henry Barnard. Thomas McLel-
land, Edward Jones and John n Hayward,
was appointed to investigate the affairs of
the bank; and another, consisting of F.
Humphreys, Edward Braker, Jr., George
Caulfield, George NJ. Vanderlip and Charles
G. Cornell, to examine and value its assets
1t has been announced that Mr.. Mann
places the assets of the hank at 1906, SO3,
and the liabilities at SS37,7S II. The
doubtful" assets are placed at $780,
SOB &c, and the bad" at S72935 90.
Among the good assets are SlS,272 50 in
legal tender notes; SSi7 q cash collections
in bank; $4,000 mutilated currency since
sent to Washington; slO5,5S6 50 discount
paper. rediscOunted and in the hands of

and liens. $l27 GOO; and the

The Gypsy Spider Dance in Madrid.

Mr.. Adee's TYPES of Castilian Vagrancy,'
in the January number Of Lippencotts Maya,
zine, contains this graphic little sketch:
A strolling band of gipsies have made
their way to Madrid from their savory
haunts a1ar among the orange groves and
Moorish ruins of Andalusa. They have
pitched their tents just outside of the Arch
of Carlos ILL.,, in the vicinity of the bull
shambles, and are now fixed for at least
and at most fortnight. They came to
town with one eye to business and the other
to thieving But very picturesque and
comely are they here and everywhere, sing
ing and dancing and sitting among the
rocks.
There arc men and women-children in
plenty, too, but they are left at home,
wherever that may be. The men are hab-
tied in breeks, shirts, jackets, leggings,
sashes and round pOrk-pie hats, all of bril-
liant tints; the women in kirtles, waists, gay
shawls and snowy stockings, with their
black, glossy tresses thrown back and
decked with bright ribbon or flower. The
men have guitars and bandOlins, the women
castanets, which they rattle bravely. They
are about to tread the may measures of the
dance in concert. Away starts the music of
guitar and castanet. Quick as lightning
the women, brown and beautiful, catch up
their skirts between the thumb and fore
finger and bound into Waiting action
sideways, without turning.
Those of the men who have not instru-
ments, caught by the infection, spring for
ward and join the women in the same wild
movement. Clang go the guitars and ban
dOlins, click the castanets. Swaying, stO6p-
ing, gracefully keeping time with head and
body, twisting. ogling, making at each other,
gliding coquettishly out of reach, whirlng,
lodging, now gently, now tiercely, with here
hate, there fOndness, and always the deli
clous rhythm of motion and music in it,
those wild, handsome people personate all
the mad infatuation of passion in it's very
fruition. 1t is the terrible Tarantula, the
spider dance, full of subtle poison to the
