in the hands of De Klyne, an official. A

The Paris journals announce the death of
an old soldier named Hoteland, who was
one of the drummers whose instruments
drowned the voice of Louis XVI. when he
attempted to address the crowd present at
his execution, during the reign of terror.
The horror which the events of 1898 had
inspired him with in his old age was SO
great that he could not speak of them with
out quivering Of the body, and this had
earned him the nickname Of lie Trem-
bleur" among his neiehbors.

the confusion has been so great that it is nc
wonder the Speaker has got sick-it would
be enough to wear out a man Of cast iron.
Mr.. Allan in the chair.
Mr.. Kings bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Corporations.
Many other bills were introduced, and
referred to appropriate committees.
Mr.. Demas called for Senate bills on
their third reading, and that to appropriate
$1,000 for the expenses of the commiss ion
appointed by the Governor to examine the
State finances came up.
Mr.. Hahn moved the indefinite postpon e.
ment OF the bill. He said it was bill to
pay gentlemen for supposed services in as
certaining the amount Of the State debt.
They had originally been appointed by the
Governor, but as that appointment had
been declared Illegal, the Superior District
Court had reappointed them. He had been
informed by one of the commission that
they did not ask for pay. On the contrary,
at the completion of their work, they pass ed
resolution that what they had done for
the State was for the benefit of the State
and they did not wish for pay. They were
all high minded gentlemen, and it was an
insult to offer it to them when they had ex-
pressly declared they did not wish it.
The bill was killed.
The Senate bill relative to the militia
providing that the parishes where disturb
ance was caused should bear the burden
OF the expense Of quelling it, either by the
militia or the Metropolitan Police, came up.
During its discussion Mr. Hahn desired to
state his reasons for opposing the bill, bu t
was ruled out of order by the Chair.
He then desired to file his reasons in
writing, and have them printed in the jour :.
nal.
Mr.. Young in the chair
Mr.. Allan objected to having the journal
used fof any such purpose. He considered
the reasons as containing an insidious at.
tack on the Governor.
Mr.. Hahn said he had had no opportunity
of amending the bill as he desired. His
reasons, which he read, contained no at
tack on the Governor as man; on the con.
trary, if he desired to make any such at
tack, he would do it openly, not insidiously.
He should have the same reasons to offer if
George Washington occupied the position.
Mr.. Murrell, of Lafourche, said there ha d
been opportunity enough to amend, and
measure of SO much importance should not
be killed because the gentleman had not
amended il.
Mr.. Benham said the bill had passed
through its regular channels, and Govern or
Hahn wa. in error in supposing the con.
trary. But so far as fling protest was
concerned, it was every members right-it
was liberty, and there should be no re-
striction on it. When a member made an
objection to such an action, it was wron G,
and enough to make him or any one angry.
After few more remarks from Mr.. N ur-
rell. of Lafourche, the bill! was passed, and
the House adjourned.
