NIGHT SESSION.

The associated press report of the Senate
proceedings Monday night closed at 2:45
o'clock. leaving the Senate still in session on
. gious diseases, waiting the report of the Ser
geant-at-arms who had been sent out for alb
sentees. The following is an abstract of the
continuation of the report:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Shortly after 2:45 A,
NJ. the sergeant-at-arms returned and presented
report that Senators Davis, Morrill, Dawes
aud Anthony reported in person; Blaine prom
lsed Immediate autendance; Conkling would
give no assurance of attendance; Mcdonald and
Patterson were at their lodgings sick; Bay ard,
Butler. Hamlin, Barnum and Chandler did not
open their doors; the other messengers had not
reported.
Discussion ensued as to the power of the
Senate to compel attendance of absentees,
Senator Morgan finally moving to make a
special point of the of Senator Conkling,
by instructing the sergeant-at-arms to be in
structed to bring that Senator into the chamber
Senator Eaton thought 1t was not proper to
single out q Senator, in which opinion Senator
Harris conceded.
Senator Thurman called attention to the fact
that the Senate had provided no rule for such
emergency, but as the effort to obtain a
quorum had been pushed thus far, it should be
completed.
Senator Voorhees, pronounced the proceedings
n contemplate farce, and deprecated longer
confluence.
At 4 o'clock Senator Herman moved to dis
pense with further proceedings under the call.
Rejected, yeas Is, nays a.
Pending execution of ORDER the presence of
quorum being disclosed by the last two votes,
the Senate proceeded with the consideration
of the bill to prevent the introduction of con-
tagious or Infectious diseases into the United
States, and to establish bureau of public
health
Nv 1o,
ing was rejected-yeas IT, nays 24-and the
bill, without further discussion, was read a
third time and passed.
The Senate then took up the deficiency ap-

THE AMATEURs.
Presentation Of Petruchio and Katherin,

Presentation of Petruchio and Katherine.
The dramatic event of the season occurred at
the Opera House last night. Home talent
drew out a large audience; and home talent
fully compensated the audience for Drawing
the storm. The comedy of 'Petruchio and
Katherine was presented in all the details
properties aud costume in perfect manner.
The play has become classic, and its dictionIis
such as to demand artistic defamation a nd
high order of elocution. With all these attri-
butes to attain in presenting the comedy &C
ceptably, the st. Paul amateurs essayed it, and
acquitted themselves most acceptably. Indeed
the performance can be claimed to have been
q genuine and pleasant surprise. The title
characters Petruchio and RATHER
Edward Mcguire and Miss Breed.
Katherine, as presented by Miss Breed, was
naive, her elocution was choice, and at times
her reading was admirable in the nicely of the
thought to be conveyed by the medium of dis
sembling words. She descrvedly received much
was made the recipient Of q handsome floral
tribute. Lieut.. Maguire's Petruchio was
good. In manner he was at ease, and
coupled with his confidence, clever
conception of the part which he
portrayed with painstaking care. Undoubtedly
Col. Smith made an admirable Grumio. He
entered into the spirit of the character gave it
with full perception of its prominence, and in
manner and elocution lacking little Of being
| excellent.
''Woodcock's Little Game was the afterpiece.
| A sparkling, genteel comedy well adapted to
amateur talent. Even with this to recommend
| it, the play as presented suffered by COM
parison with "Petruchio and Katherine. y
Woodcock ID the character of the piece, and
Mr.. Spencer, while amusing, failed to compre-
bend or fully appreciate the exteut of his part
He could have made much more, scarcely less
of tho interesting and lately converted old
| bachelor. Mrs. Col. Carver was given
with vivacity and impressively by Mrs
Coolidge. The meddlesome aud dictatorial
mother-in-law was portrayed with even fright
full reality. Mrs. Granger presented Mrs.
Larkings to the audience in q charming man
ner. Mrs. Smith made pleasing Mrs. Wood
cock. Hers was . subordinate part, but one
she cleverly made the most of.
| The other characters in both plays were
only attendants to those singled out.
Taking as whole, last nights
entertainment was decidedly creditable one
| The audience soon forgot its self-promised in
| diligence to friends to pass from the cool-tem-
pered stage of satisfaction to SURPRISE full APP
probation, and at times fully approached con-
! dition of enthusiasm over the excellent per-
Torrance.

voted aye, making quorum and declaring the
amendment agreed to, amid great demonstra.
tions Of applause on the Democratic side.
Then hale, resorting to dilatory tactics,
til Thursday. The motion was greeted with
derisive laughter on the Democratic side and
Mr.. Hale was asked jeoringly whether he did
not want to have the appropriation bill passed.
The motion having been voted down, only
one vote being cast in tho Affirmative, Hale
moved to lay tho bill on the table, remarking
that he wished to see whether the Democrats
could. without any Republican votes, pass tho
bill, and that he hoped no Republicans would
vote. .,s.
The vote was taken, but previous to its an
nouncement. Tucker stated that having no
| idea that gentlemen on the other side intended
to refrain from voting, he had made q pair
with General Garfield. He had, therefore, not
voted, but had written to General Garfield
desiring him to return to tho House and release
him from his pAir.
Nj. Waddell inquired *hether any member
OF the House had right to make pair which
should impede legislation. He denied the
moral right of the gentleman from Virginia.
Tucker to make such pair
MIR. Tucker said he had all his life acted up
on the principle that where there was any
doubt about question Of honor, to decide
that doubt always on the side of honor and he
therefore had refused to vote.
The only Republicans who voted were Brog-
den, in the negative, and Brentano. Patterson
and Dunnell (the latter having voted by mis-
take, which he tried afterward, without avail
to rectify) i'll the affirmative.
The vote was then announced Us yeas 5, nays
l4S, one less than quorum. The speaker
again made quorum by voting in the mega
tive, and declared the motion to lay the bill on
the table defeated.
The speaker then stated that his vote made
147, quorum of the full House, but he did
not think that it needed 147 votes to make q
quorum, as there were two vacancies.
MIR. Hale-Is the speaker determined to
make ruling that less than majority of the
full House constitutes a quorum?
The Speaker replied that he did not desire to
make any ruling. There was no necessity for
it. He, however, had read decision adopted
by Speaker Grow. to the effect that majority
OF the members chosen constituted quorum
Mr.. Hale said that the point on which the
decision of Speaker Grow had ruled was not
analogous to the present case. and he was glad
the Speaker had not made precipitate decis-
ion. So if this matter did not end here. he
(Hale) reserved all points a to question.
The Speaker said that he had had the decis-
ion read during moment of calmness, SO that,
it it came up again, it could not be said that q
decision had been made precipitately.
The bill as amended was then passad-veas
143; nays, liz.
On motion of Mr.. Hewitt, of New York, .
committee of conference was ordered on the
army appropriation bill, and the House adj
journed until tomorrow.
