De Trobriand regretted that he had to

Wilt insisted that file of men must
actually enter the hall or they would not
submit, and speedily squad of twelve
soldiers filed in and stood in the lobby.
The Committee on Elections had
reported and in the short Space of half
an hour had decided many contested
cases without giving the Republicans q
hearing. They made their report and
the membere were sworn in first; the
five not returned were removed, and
then those who had been admitted liz

illegal members refused to stir until
two soldiers came upon the floor with
their muskets, with fixed bayonets, and
laid hands upon them, when they wene
into they lobby. Each one entered his
protest in the minutes, and each enc
was advised by Wilt not to move
until actual force was used. The scene
was
INTENSELY DRAMATIC:
especially when Wilt stated that Gen
eral DeTrobriand had the floor, and when
fraudulent members were marched out by
the soldiers. The Democrats were bound
to have all the effects possible foP

unless at the point of the bayonet. He

Wilt requested that members be not

not used to it. He called for the Ser

A message from the Senate was re-

There was no trouble in the Senate,
where the Republicans have large and
undoubted majority.
