and moved to amend Mr.. Morgan's S
resolution accordingly.

resolution accordingly.
Mr.. Herman expressed his belief
that none of the senator's who had not
yet arrived intended to defy the con-
stitution or this body. Gentlemen
walked up at three o'clock in the
morning, after perhaps leaving the
senate chamber paired, were not like
ly to discuss matters very precisely
with sergeant-at-arms' messengers.
Mr.. Thurman called attention to
the language of the constitution, that
the rules shall be enforced in such
manner and under such penalties as
either house shall provide, and after
pointing out that the senate has pro-
vided no penalty for cases like the
present, he expressed grave doubts as
to the existence of any authority for
the sergeant-at-arms TO break through
the door, as had been suggested. Be-
sides, such a thing as breaking down
a door and dragging a senator here
would be inexpressibly disgraceful,
and he shrunk with horror from the
idea. Although he thus believed
there was practically no power to
enforce the rule in question, and
although he did not believe the senate
would gain any time for the proper
transaction of public business by con-
tinuing the present proceedings, he
nevertheless felt that as the effort to
obtain a quorum had been pushed
thus far it should be completed.
Mr. Voorhees, ironically deprecated
any further efforts to bring senators to
attend to their duties, and remarked
that he had never known more con-
temptible farce.
AT A o'clock in the morning Mr..
Harris amendment was adopted, yeas
32, nays 10, and a motion Of Mr.. Nor
gan, thus amended and made of gen.
eral application was agreed to.

Some of the officers of the old Third
Cavalry Division, which performed
many heroic deeds under General
Custer, are indignant at the reported
statements in the testimony of Major
Reno before the court at Chicago,
that he had no confidence in General
Custer as a soldier. A Washington

acterize the charge as cowardly and
unjustifable, as General Custer's rep

could not be injured by one on trialou

p INSTANCES Of marriage resulting

Chicago Tribune tells different story
about pair who, after exchanging
letters, met by appointment in that
city. "The surprise with which she
discovered that he, instead of being
twenty-seven, tall, dark and aristo-
cratic, was forty-six, stumpy, red
headed, fat and bow-legged, was only
equaled by the rapturous amazement
with which he discovered that she,
instead of being willowy of figure,
just eighteen, with warm golden hair,
an opalescent complexion, and blue
eyes, like limpid lakes, was six feet
one, if she was an inch, ffty-two if
she was day, weighing 300 pounds if
she did an ounce, and with no yellow
