scene occurred st the close of the session
in the Senate this evening. Senator Ed
munds had closed his scsthing arraign-
ment of Hoar's Presidential bill. The
Massachusetts, Senator felt considerably
cut up. He charged Edmunds with COM
ing in st this late day in an unfair opposi-
ton to the measure, when it had been for
months, all through last session, pending
before the Committee on Judiciary, and
had never been heard from by the Senator,
who had absented himself. His criticism
was severe to the verge of cruelty. Ed
munds said the Senator from Massachu-
sets did him great injustice in a~rraigning
him for his absence during the last ses-
sion. He knev-he stopped short, made
= great effort to articulate something, but
failed and sat down, with tears streaming
from his eyes. A death-like silence pre-
vailed. Some Senator in low voice moved
to adjourn. The motion prevailed, and
Senators noiselessly left the Chamber,
awed into silence by the violent outburst
Of grief from their venerable colleague.
