IN the elements were ii his favor to-day.

they were crowded. and at 2 the corridors
ware simply jammed with atnass OF struggling
psople who could rot get within twenty feet OF
the gallery door. With customary thouRhtless-
ness for the rights OF the public the Senators
lad reserved neatly the entire space in the gal
kries for the accommodation OF people bear
ing cards with Senatorial signatures. A large
section OF . The galleries Rre reserved at
al times bm to-day the space allotted
10 the pubic wns smaller than usual:
consequently majority OF the visitors to
the Capitol nct on terms Of intimacy with Sem
ators remain,d in the corridors while Ingalls's
eloquence fbated around the chamber. The
lam In the galleries WAS simply awful. and
whom LiRe Hslford attempted to escort two
ladies dowr into the Presidential part he was
compelled b literally fight his way. Mrs. Nor
ton and on OF her young daughters were In
the crowd. md were provided with seats i'm
mediately lehind the private secretary's party.
There woremany distinguished people in the
gallery crowds, who did not seem at all an
noyed at hging to wait in discomfort for two
or three hors TO hear the caustio Senator's
speech. Th diplomatic gallery. which is kept
urder lock nd key at all times. had its usual
Aumber OF isitors to-day. There were Just
eight peoplein It. Three Of them were ladies.
two were nunR attaches OF the legations,
two wero evidently strangers. and the
other was Mr.. Glenn studebaker. who
gepresentet all that was present of
the Psn-Aherioan Congress. Down on the
door Of thesenate there was most disttn-
Guished GkherinG. No one ever misses q
chance to bar ingalls, speak. II he can help it,
and not o tenator was absent to-day who got
10 the CRptol. Dozens and dozens OF members
nocked oyr from the House. and crowded the
floor Of tp Senate until there was not oven
standing room. When the crowd began to
come upoi the floor large portion of the sofas
and chaira we're occupied by the clerks and
private secretaries Of the Senators and other
employees & that body. Seeing this. Vice.
President horton spoke to an official. who
quickly rOqlested all tho employees to vacate
heir seats. which they did. and there was then
moro roomior the more distinguished people.
