lie began to read some remarks made by
Mr.. Willis about the delay lin the progress
Of the River and Harbor bill. In those re-
marks Mr.. Willis intimated that the course
of obstruction which had boon pursued by
Mr.. White was one of tho causes of tho de-
lay. There were cries for the regular
order all over the Democratic side. The
Speaker ruled that Mr.. White was out Of
order. Mr.. White continued, amid the ut
most confusion, to read.
Tho cries for the regular order became
louder. The CALCULATIONS Of the Speaker
that Mr. White was not in order became
more emphatic Finally Mr.. Blackburn, tho
Speaker pro temp0re, turned to Ike" Hill,

was hubbub all over the House and cries OF

his mace of Office, which stands in n socket to
the right of the Speakers desk. With the
mace at present arms he bore down upon

But before he reached Mr.. Whites desk
the Member had taken his seat. When

started 1t again. He rose to question of
personal privilege. He said he had been
approached and seized by a man, civil
ian. who bore no badge of authority. Mr..

a question of privilege. Judge Kelley aud

fusion on both sides, and finally Mr.. White

Tho DynnmIters and Mrs. Dudley.
NEW YORK, Feb. 0.-Lucille Yseult
Dudley and Richard Short languish in the
Tombs. jeremiah ODonovan Rosa lan-
guishes in st. Vincent's Hospital. Captain
Phclan is at the Continental Hotel. Rosa
is recovering rapidly, aud walks not only
about his room, but about tho hospital also.
No effort will be made to find the ball. ft
will probably never give him any troubs.
Mrs. Dudley spent quiet day at the
TOmbs. Most of the time she occupied her
usual chair in the matrOn's room, and eager
ly read everything that she could find in
the papers relating to her case. In regard
to her previous history she is as reticent as
ever. She njoys to the utmost the halo of
mystery with which she seeks to surround
her life, and in this respect rivals Rosa aud
and his dynamite plots Captain Phelan
has suit of rooms on the third floor of the
Continental Hotel overlooking Broadway.
His wife is with him. Always within reach
of bis right hand is n l0.calibre, fige.cham-
beIed revolver. He laughs at the reports in
some of the papers that he intended to
shoot Short in the TOmbs Police Court on
Saturday. 10 u Tribune reporter he said
"Tbe reason / carried the revolver in tho
folds of the handkerchief that supports my
wounded arm is that tho muscles Of my
right arm arc so strained that | cannot
reach my pocket, and if | carried it any
where else it would be useless My having
to remain in the city SO long to attend to
this trial will make penniless man of me.
Shorts lawyers think that delays will 50
harrass me that l will give it up but |
won't. If the authorities do their duty in
the same manner that do mine Short will
find himself in u decidedly tight place.
am not afraid that these fellows will follow
mo to Kansas City for revenge. Any one
coming out there to do away with me
wouldn't live long. ] have TOO many
friends there for them to attempt such u
thing"
