PRECEDENT FOR MIR. REED.
Gen. Banks Said He Made Similar Rul-
ings When He Was Speaker in 1855.

Gen. N. P. Banks has been at home the past
week looking after denomination and re-
election to Congress- He said yesterday con-
corning affairs in Congress: Speaker Reed
has made rulings that have caused much dis
cussion, and they were perfectly proper and
correct I took a similar position in 1856
when was Speaker Of that body. We had
very small majority of the House at that ses-
sion. A Mr.. Orr, who afterward became
Speaker, raised a point in regard to quorum,
and made a ruling like unto that Of Speaker
Reed. Without a doubt Mr. Reed is looked
upon as very strong and powerful man and
one Of the leaders whom the party will select
for the presidential nomination. II such a
nomination should fall upon him he would be
elected"
"How about the federal elections bill in the
Senate, general; do you think the Senate will
pass it?'
Il do most positively. If it is not done at
this session 1t will be at the short one. At anv
rate, under the present administration. colored
citizens can rest assured that it will become
law"
"Can you account for the action of Senator
Quay in presenting his resolution looking to its
postponement?"
II think Senator Quay wanted to have the
tariff bill, which he considers to be the most
pressing public measure, acted upon first
am of opinion that Senator Quay wishes such
an election bill AZ do the rest of the members
Of the party who are aware that there are
frauds in the south. No. attach no importance
whatever to the talk that some kind Of trade
has been entered into between Senators Quay

SECRETARY RUSK'S SILK HAT.
The Transformation Produced by q

Il came east to get short rest at the sea-
shore, said "Uncle Jerry" Rusk the other day,

that only myself and the coachman were wear
ing high hats. These Bostonese are a curious
sort OF people, you know. They want to look
at your genealogical tree and analyze your

much to do with you. They are especially
afraid OF anything that is not from New Eng
land. or that is at all ont of the way, and
wandered around among them for three days
before any of them spoke to me. had never
been treated SO before and couldn't under
stand it, and at last said to myself that it must
be my hat.
at once went to my room and put on a little
travelling cap, that made me look like the
deuce, but which was not unlike some Of the
hats of the Bostonese. 1 then went down and
posed on the hotel piazza. and had not been
sitting there five minutes before a man came
up and spoke to me. He was a legged
man, and he had Grand Army button on the
lapel of his coat He noticed my button, and
from that asked me where was from. told
him that was from Wisconsin.

Bostonian. He is governor of the state.

taken in your opinion Of him He's whelp"
What" said the man. and he jumped from
his seat and pranced around on his one leg as
II he were going to get mad. He turned to go
away and called him back again and made
him sit down. As he took his chair said: ut

Have you ever been before the invalid PEN
sions committee Of the House?"
Yes" he again replied; land were you
there?'
Yes" said Il; II was the chairman of that
committee"
Why" said the old man, you're Old Rusk
himself. and with that we again shook. The
old man had not seen me for years and my hair
and beard had grown white. Under that little
travelling cap he did not know me, and don't
suppose he would have recognized me under

do You zee that tail man standing there?"
asked the colonel "Noticc how he brushes
his hair forward on the sides, as some English
men do. One Of those locks hides a scar which
bears eloquent testimony as to a narrow escape
from death.
Thirty years ago he was deputy marshal
in Nevada. He started out one day to arrest a
notorio US Gambler who had killed a man over
game of cards. The gambler knew that the
marshal was seeking him. but with cool
effrontery walked about the streets all day.
Wi--that is the deputy marshal-heard that
the man he wanted was In a well-known bar
room. He set out for the place and carelessly
crossed the threshold before he found himself
looking into the barrel of a six-shooter.
b" Come, Hardy he said cOolly, this won't
do. I've come to get you and want YOU
- See here, John, said the gambler, 4 don't
want to kill you, but won't let any man arrest
me. Go away and let me alone.
"'NO, want you, said the marshal quietly
Put down the six-shooter and come with me-
I'm see you shot first said Hardy.
so can't help that said the other. Unjust
you must come with me or kill me in cold
blood
I don't want to kill YOU said Hardy.
O. Then put down your gum
'Jonn, won't De arrested. Don't touch
me. l don't want to shoot a man without
cause
- I've got to do it, Hardy
" See here, said the gambler, turning white,
III you move foot I'll kill you. But hate to
be a coward. That was fair and square last
night We both pulled together
The marshal shook his head.
IN do one thing, john Hardy went on.
I'll back up to that wall. You back up to the
other. I'll drop my revolver to my hip and
you can draw yours. Then it's the best man.
The marshal moved backward to the wall
and Hardy did the same. Then the marshal
drew his revolver and held it at his side, niuz-
gle down. All this time Hardy had kept his
weapon leveled at the marshal Slowly his
arm sank. until his revolver touched the seam
OF his tousers. Both men were perfectly calm
and immovable. the marshal determined look
ing, the gambler still pale.
Now, john said Hardy. Instantly both
weapons went up. 1t was all over so quickly
that both men we're on the floor together. But
Hardy had fired too soon; his ball went at an
upward angle and gra1ed the marshals temple
But the marshal had sent his bullet straight on
line to Hardy's heart, and there was no need
to arrest the gambler"

this morning as counsel for George Killeen, jr q,
who was charged with disorderly conduct Po-
liceman Kimmel of the sixth precinct was the
prosecuting witness. The officer wanted to
charge the defendant with refusing to assist a
police officer, but for some reason the prose-

discussing the matter of refusing to assist the
officer Mr.. Cahill said that there was no
such law in force in the District. That
law was enacted before the organization OF the

been enforced during recent years he was Of
the opinion that the law had been repealed
The court intimated that such was the courts
opinion Of the law, but no definite opinion was
given. The court considered the facts in dis
posing of the disorderly conduct case and the
