the returning board, in place OF Marrinet,
Rochaen, Florcl and Richards. Republicans,
who were seated in the House after the with
drawal of Wilt and his followers in Janu.

tho Conservatives returned by the board
were under the award to be seated while the
Republicans contend that these four men
were not to be disturbed. Marshal Packard
said to-day that if the four Republicans were
ousted the Senate would adjourn for three
days, and IL at the end of that time they were
not readmitted the Senate would adjourn
sine die. Seating these men will give the
