CROWDS OF VIslTOIs-THE JOINT CONVENTION
c.r, ,l,,r

WASuINGToN March 1.-The session of the House
was a continuous one ; no recess Tor dinner was
taken but the business, or the efforts TO obstruct
business continued without interruption from DAY
% evening The crowds of spectators who had
tbropQed the galleries all day seemed as patient and
far more constant in their attention to what was
going on than the members themselves. II is un-
doubtodly true that many of those who sat through
tbe dav session surrendered their places 10 new
corners in the evening. but in general appearance
the audience at 9 o'clock at night could not he dis
tinguished from that which filed the galler"Sln
the morning. During the day many distinguished
visitors might have been selected from the
crowd though they were not nearly numerous ~
during the sessions Of a month ago, when the cleo
toral count was begun and the scene in the House
had more of novelty than now. Mrs. Fish, who has
been one of the most constant lady attendants, oc-
cuped front seat in the diplomatic gallery several
hours during the afternoon, but very few dlS'ln-
Cuished foreign representatives appeared in their
places at any time during the proceedings In the
evening the Chief Justice was present. accompanied
b. ladies as we'll as one two foreign ministers
with attaches of their legations. The entrances to
tie floor seemed to be less carefully guarded to-day
than is customary on such occasions A great num-
Der of persons the majority of whom were not en-
titled 10 the privileges of the toor filed the vacant
spaces behind the members desks during the early
