Charges - Campaign Material Fur
uished by the Days Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-In the past twenty
years of the Senate's history no such excite
ment has prevailed as that of yesterday,
nor has there been such utter digregard of
tie dignity of the Senatorial office. Grave
Senators shouted at each other in defiance
of the rules OF parliamentary debate.
Liar" and ''scoundrel' were banded,
while the packed galleries alternately
hissed and applauded. One Senator an
nounced that il a political opponent acted
in the police court as he was doing on the
floor. he would be sent to the rock pile
as drunk and disorierly" The confusion
on the floor was equalled only by
the confusion in the Railways and
corridor where hundreds of eager men and
women, unable TO obtain an entrance into
the galleries. stood and strained their ears
to catch the strong phrases that foated
through the half closed doors. Again and
again Senators sprang TO their feet to de-
mand order, and again and again the pre-
siding officer threatened to have the gall
leries Cleared il order was not preserved.
The Sergeant-aj-Arms was ordered to ar
rest anyone making noise, but still the
crowd which filled every seat, crowded the
aisles and lined the walls of the gallery,
applauded, hissed and langhed uproar-
iously.
