yesterday morning the guard at the door VIZ
donbled, the troops were on hand, and th
number Of Sergeants-at-Arms was largely il
creased.
The members all remained within tn
building and heroically submitted to tn
pangs ate ndant on the deprivation of thei
usual daily allowance of spiritual comfort
for it was generally understood that any ont
who did leave the sacred precincts would b.
subject to the base suspicion that they were
looking for some one to bride them.
Demas and Jones were openly regarded as
men Of great moral character, but privately
regarded as "d-n fools, for majority Of
the members because it is policy SO to do
have actually forced themselves to believe
that an unsuccessful attempt to buy them has
been made, and yet while believing it, they
consider it most astonishing circumstance,
knowing the men, and especially Demas, as
well as they do.

permission, introduced brief in what is de-
nominated the contest case of Dittnch VS..
Sibilsky. 1t was referred to the Committee
on Elections and Qualifications.
Murrell offered resolution authorizing the
appointment Of committee to investigate the
proceedings Of the Funding Board.
That it is intended to whitewash the COM
mittee is evidenced by the fact that Lowell
favored a suspension of the rules to pass it.
The crowd, notwithstanding lis eloquence,
refused to suspend.
Demas took the floor, very indignant on &C. |
count Of publication in the Bee setting
forth that he accepted the proposition and |
made an appointment to get the lucre, and |
that chagrin at finding that he had been
''sold" without being bought. induced him to
make the affidavit against Levy.
He said it was not true, and seemed to think
that his assertion settled the difficulty
Milton Jones had his say for the same
reason, and he said in substance the same
thing as Demas.
The Committee on Elections and Qualifica-
tons reported unfavorably to the contestants
in the case of Louis Chenaux vs.. L. A. Wiltz
and J. A. De Blanc. The report was adopted
and Chenaux's visions of mileage and per diem &
and perquisites were dispelled. IL
