DOVER, Feb. 16.-Both Houses re-
assembled this evening. The Senate had
not a quorum. Messrs. Ross. Houston,
Hall. Moore and Williams being absent
The only business possible under the
circumstances was for the upper body to
meet and adjourn.
Mr. Williams has impl owed greatly
during the past week, and will be in
Dover 10 day or two if he does not
suffer a relapse. But then q combina-
tlon of gout, rheumatism and biliousness
Is q very uncertain thing, AID IL wonld
appear as If a syndicate Of diseases was
working against this 'one thing needful"
to the Democratic column in the Senate.
With the prospect OF Senator VII.
liams's return, il is not likely that the
round robin held by the speaker will be-
renewed when 1t expires to- morrow, and
the average member will again long for
the chance to take q drink OF ice water
without the fear that some political
scheme will be jumped upon his side Of
