siding officer added .The sergeant-at-
arms will see that the orders of the
chair are executed~ Gle need not do
that, sir" sud Riddleberger, as he took
his seat, but he did not keep it. In a
few minutes he was up again with an Gb-
lection to private bill, and was again
suppressed by repetition of the presid-
ing otiicer's order that he must not pro-
coed without leave of the Senate. which
must first be obtained on motion for

sisted further in violation of order, and
interrupted the proceedings of the Sen
