future party harmony and success,
It was shortly after 0 o'clock when
the two branches disposed Of the miscel,
laneous business on the desks and got
together In joint session. The big lobby
shifted itself from one foot to the other
and frightened up, apparently, for q
| moment, and then settled down into the
state Of apathy in which 1t had existed
for the previous hour and half. There
was nothing especially entertaining In
last nights proceedings, but the lobby
seemed to find satisfaction in studying
the majority 1t had created,

were opened by Mayor Seabright. The
Mayors voice was In very poor form. II

with that smile Of innocent surprise that
he sometimes springs, that he really

TO know anything about 1t, and Mr..
Maxwell's question went unanswered.
