The Illinois Sinuosity Still Unraveied-
Matters in Congress-Men Who VIII
60 to the United States
Senate-Note

SPRINGFIELD, Jan 21.--in the senate Mon
day tWniting presiding) Merritt introduced
A resolution that the senate, in conjunction
with the house, proceed to count the vote
for state officers Tuesday The chaImanre-
fused to entertain the resolution, there being
no quorum; and when Merritt contended
that the chairman had TO right to so decide,
a call of the house showed that but eleven
Democrats answered to their names, and the
senate adjourned Merritt, who is said to be
friendly to Haines will renew his motion.
The Democratic caucus which met Tues
day morning had a very stormy session OF
three hours Earneli offered Il resolution
proposing to direct the clerk of the house
60 notify the senate that the house was duly
organized When it was read, Lime
gar left the caucus, Speeches
we're made foe and against the resolution, in
which the whole trouble was reviewed.
Some of the members worked themselves up
to high pitch of excitement Finally a
substitute for Varpel'S resolution was
offered The substitute required Haines to
vacata the chair. On this the roll was called.
Less than IL quorum voted, but more votes
were cast for it than against it,
The house was called to order at O'Clock
| Monday evening, and motion that the
reading of the minutes he dispensed with,
prevailed. Linegar moved that the assem-
| bly adjourn until > o'clock Tuesday, when
| Fuller appeal from the decision Of the chair,
made last Friday, shall be the first business
| in order; passed unanimously
On Tuesday Temporary Speaker Haines
applied to Mayor McCreery, of Springfield
for police to protect him in his efforts tc
hold the speakership Of the house
He said he understood that hi
was in danger of personal violence
and demanded that the mayor preserve th'
peace Mayor McCreery informed him tina
ha had no jurisdiction over the state houst
OF the legislature; that the legislature ap
pointed its own pol cemen to preserve order
and had the power to appoint as many Is !
deemed necessary.
When the house met at ? O'Clock, Halne
cited the constitution as authority for nj
position that the speaker has authority t
call the senate into joint session to canvas
the returns. He said he had allowe
the appeal to beitaken pro forma, in order t
get the opinion Of members on the question
He now would withdraw his decision tht
the motion is not in order A roll call We
then ordered on Fuller's motion that ii
sneaker be instructed NOT to send commun
cation tc the senate, but there We're onl
seven votes casts, Line-ar and McMllla
voting aye
Iincgar then moved to adjourn unit
Wednesday at 10 o'clock, the pending motie
to be carried over as the pending busine

The Hog has been robbed of the

gathered round her to voice tie senti-
ment:
poor woman! Poor baby! Isn't
here something we can do for you?"
The railroad Hog can't be crowded,
but he can be melted.-N T. Sun.
