How Senatorial speeches Are Timed.

ROW ScnntorIaI Speeches Are Timed.
President pro tenn. ingalls, uses the old
fashioned time glass to measure the five
minute speeches of the senators. When
the senator begins the glass is inverted,
and when the sand has all run out he is
stopped promptly. The other day a
senator who thought his five minutes en-
tirely too short demurred when the presi-
dent pro tenn. told him his time was up.
The chair is guided entirely by this
glass; said Ingalls, firmly, holding up
the twin bulbs with the sand all in the
lower one. As the president pro tenn. is
almost as absolute as a baseball umpire,
nothing more was said. AS Ingalls, re-
marked afterward to another western
senator, 1T takes sand to run the senate"
