CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 9.-The legislative

Thursday The joint session lasted until
nearly O'Clock a. m, and when the senate re-
paired to its chamber in order TO adjourn il
found itself without a quorum. President
Carr sent the sergeant-at-arms, with a number
OF deputies. out with warrants for the ar
rest of the absentees who had secreted them
selves or retired for the night
At midnight Senator Minear was captured
and brought before the bar of the senate. He
said he had been asleep. An hour and half
longer the sergeant secured the town. In the
meanwhile the senate sat awaiting its absent
members. About l O'Clock senator Minear es-
capped by the aid Of Delegate Young of the
house. He was

in one OF the ante-rooms and made his way
out. Mr.. Young was called before the bar Of
the senate and put under arrest.
At 3 am. the officers visited the Hotel Ruff-
ner and found that some of the absentees were
in their rooms with doors barricaded and ip
order to make arrests they had TO break in
doors of rooms. This brought about quarrel
in one instance which came near resulting in n

and costs of arrests, &C., for being absent with
out leave.
President Carr stated in open senate yester-
day, when asked by what authority he had sent
out and arrested senators in their beds, that he
desired the presence of absentees and that
when he sent for them il meant a great deal TO
the chair. as il was 10 obey its OATH and that it
would not stand such actions.
The idea of leaving the joint assembly with
out a quorum is a sharp one, and the republi-
cans claim that as no joint rules have been
adopted there is no legal way of having the
absent members arrested and brought back
though President Carr Was able to or did 50 in
the senate. As IL stands a state treasurer and
superintendent of free schools have been de-
clared elected during the absence of the re-
publicans and when the Joint assembly Was
consequently without a quorum. In counting
the vote for encouragement il was found that
the returns from Webster county had failed TO

which may be still further increased as the

BOULANGER'S SCHEME.
How He Proposes TO Americanize the
French Constitution

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Boulanger in an interview
explains his constitutional program to Ameri-
canize the French republic. The vital point is
the proposed concession Of local sef-govern-
ment TO the provinces. The value OF the
program depends on the extent Of decentrali-
cation possible and the success of a strong per-
manent national executive. together with ex-
tensive local liberties. If Boulanger made the
projects elective and emancipated the depart
ments he would deserve the presidency. The
republicans have no counter card against Bou-
LANCER. Clemenceau is strongly opposed TO a
return to the scrutin de reimbursement, be-
heving that small districts give wire-pullers
more power. Floquet and others support liste
voting. The republicans therefore are divided

SUICIDE OF A BANK CASHIER.
Kills Himself Without Apparent Cause
After Visit to Friends.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 9.-Mr. Edward c. Breck,
who has been assistant cashier of the CONNER
cial bank of this city for the past five years,
committed suicide at his home, 2sls Gamble
street. at 1890 O'Clock this morning, by shoot
ing himself in the head with thirty-eight-
calibre pistol No cause for the act is known.
Mr.. Breck was out visiting friends last night
and returned home about midnight. few
minutes later two of his sons were awakened
by noise which they thought was made by
the slamming of a door, but, on investigation,
their father was found dying on the floor OF his
room with bullet-hole in his right temple.
He remained unconscious until his death. Mr..
Breck was ffty-nine years old and leaves a wife
and six children. A coroner's inquest viii be
held to-day, at which, perhaps, some light may
be thrown ON the mystery.

ROME. Feb. "A panicky feeling prevails in
this city, owing to the riotous demonstration
by the unemployed workingmen. The stores
opened early but soon closed. This forenoon
300 workingmen assembled in the piazza Dante
but a force of cavalry charged upon and dis
persed them. A large number of arrests Of
disorderly persons have been made. Detacb-
ments of infantry have been placed on guard
at the banks and large buildings TO protect
them against the rioters. The government is
taking the strongest measures 20 repress the
demonstrations. II is raining heavily this

counsel for the Central Pacific railroad, who
pleads for the Incorporation Of his company

settlement of the debt of the Union Pacific

A LIVELY TILT BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES

Appropriation Bills Passed in the House.
LIVELY TILT BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES
TowNsHEND AND RANDALL;
During the consideration of the army appro-
priation bill in the House yesterday sharp
tilt occurred between Mr.. Townshend and Mr.
Randall. Mr.. Townshend made point of order
against the clause appropriating $500 for the
library of the engineer school of application.
He admitted the necessity of the appropria-
tion but said that as the chair had ruled that
the item OF torpedoes came under the jurisdic-
tion of the appropriations committee, he
thought that this clause also belonged to that
committee. That committee had robbed the
ways and means committee Of its jurisdiction.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. RandalD
had not done it by his own vote, but the same
spirit which had animated him in invading the
jurisdiction of other committees had animated
others to rob the ways and means committee.
He was not surprised that the gentleman had
become enviOus of the little jurisdiction con-
ferred on the committee on military affairs. II
was not long ago that the committee ON appro-
priations had been emasculated. The gentle
man from Pennsylvania had been powerless to
save the jurisdiction OF his committee, but
phGnix like, he had risen up with more power
than he had ever before possessed in the House.
He had had the power to seize the jurisdiction
OF the most important committee Of the House.
the ways and means committeeman he (Mr
TownshendD did not feel humiliated that the
committee ON military affairs must now sur
render its jurisdiction.
Mr.. Randall.'T leave you to your own re-
hections over the meanness Of that speech"
Mr.. Townshend-..The gentleman is mis-
taken. There was purpose ON my part to ex-
press my admiration for the power and in
fuence which dominates this House and over
rides every other power"
MI. Randsll-.I am afraid you made that
last remark at the expense Of your sincerity"
The point of order was overruled.
The committee then ross and the bill was
passed.
