ourdensare to be laid upon the senate. He
mas been induced by the democrats, who want
more time for the debate on the tariff bill, to

| Tour evenings of this week at least sit from 10
u IN. until l0!3O p. m, witha recess from $50

days of the week, when the nve
| minute rule will be in favor Many senators
doubt the wisdom of this course. Two years
ago congress did not adjourn until Q ctober2O
put at no time did the daily sessions of either
| mouse ocgln before | o'clock a. m, and then
only fora S hort time. Since shortly after the
| tariif bill was taken up by the senate it has
been sitting since 10 a. m. until p. M, and
| occasionally y later six days in the week. In
| view OF the numerous roll calls it has been
considered necessary that every senator
should be in his place This contininG at
Tendance has been making sad inroads upon
the health of many OF the senators. Sena-
tor Walthall of Mississippi is now

Hampton. the senior senator from South
| Carolina, daily violates theorders of his ply
siclans by putting ina appearance at the
cham Der despite the pain he undergOes from
peceof shrapnel lodged in his hip. He
| suffers intense agony at times and the only
thing that will give him relief is u season OF

| Senator Aldrich, upon whom falls the bur
dcn of the MANAGEMENT of the tariff bill fol
the majority, shows the effect of the large
strain upon him in a striking way. He
has aged perceptibly in the past few
weeks, his face is drawn and hag
gard and his hair and moustacht
are several degrees grayer He has lost the
buoyancy that formerly marked his manner
and moves about with an air of languor thai
| tells OF close confinement and hard labor
Senator Mcpherson, who took charge of the
DILL for the democrats, looks tagged out anC
has lost considerable flesh, although he ha.
been relieved largely by the efforts of Sena
tors Carlisle, Vest and Gray. There is hard '
| asenaor on the floor who does not show il
some degree the wearing effect of the Ions
session. Senator Teller ought to be in bed
but still keeps his seat.
