Hastings, Land Commissioner HUM
phrey, Treasurer Hill and Secretary of
State Allen, went in body to the offices
occupied by Ex-Governor Thayer and
formally demanded that he vacate The
ex-governor took the paper and read it

ingly said; Gentlemen, / yield in re

future Thayer's quo warranto case will
be called in the supreme court but Boyd
fears nothing.
The court has intimated very strongly
that Thayer was not entitled to the
place. James L. Boyd will unquestion-
ably be governor for the next two years.

Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The House
has just dropped the curtain upon a
scene of excitement almost rivaling that
which was precipitated upon il yester-
day. Messrs. Bland tMo.), Rogers
tArk.) and Mills (Tex.) have been
excoriating the Speaker and the Speaker
has in calm matter stated that he was
administering the rules as he understood
them land as sustained by the House,
and that he would continue to adj
minister them as long as he retained the
exalted position to which he had been
elected by the votes of the House.
Mr.. Kerr (Ia.) added somewhat to the
confusion by a criticism of the report of
Mr.. Mills remarks as published in the
record to-day, asserting that it did not
coincide with the report in the public
press.
Mr.. Mills excitedly demanded to know
whether the gentleman accused him of
having mutilated the record; but Mr..
Kerr disclaimed any such intention.
The tumult was quelled by roll call
on the approval OF the journal.
MILLS INSISTS UPON BEING HEARD.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The was no
demand this morning for the reading of
the journal in full in the House to-day;
but when the reading of that document
in its condensed form had been con
cluded, Mr. Mills (TeXas) objected to its
approval; and stated that he desired to

AT the same moment Mr.. Mckinley
(O.) was on his feet with demand for
the previous question on the approval
of the journal and he was recognized
by the Speaker
Mr.. Breckenridge (Ky.) made the
point that there was no quorum present.
The Speaker replied that the vote
would elicit the fact as to whether or
not quorum was in attendance and the
clerk proceeded to call the roll.
The previous question was ordered
yeas, 143 nays, 76-and Mr.. Mills
claimed the floor and his claim was
recognized by the Speaker.

crowded around their leader, Springer
(Ill.), who had taken no part in the
scrimmage, tapped Cayanaugh on the
shoulder.
Don't come here, Tom he said in a
whisper, "you will only make trouble.
We will quiet down"
AT that moment little Clifton Brock
enridge of Arkansas ran up behind Mr..
Mills and pushed him into his seat,
stumbling over Bynum of Indiana, who
had come up to prevent what he be-
lieved would result in hand-to-hand
encounter.
Gavanaugh, turning away, collided
with Roswell II. Flower, and the New
York millionaire dropped into a seat.
Then the mace was carried down the
centre aisle and was halted in front of
Mr.. Kerr, who was as white as sheet
of paper.
"Sit down, Mr., Kerr, and at once"
said the macebearer in q commanding
tone, and Kerr dropped all trembling
into his seat.
Then the mace was paraded up and
down until one by one the congressman
had been quieted. Barnes of Georgia,
the heaviest man in the House, hap
pened to cross the arena in front of the
Speaker, and ten feet away saw Billy
Mason of Chicago, his rival heavy
weight.
Both men squared away with their
fists pointed at each other, and then adj
yanced and shook hands. Those who
saw the incident laughed and the storm
was over

sembly, the eminently proper sugges-
ton is made that we should make proper
effort to obtain the very best obtainable
legislation and, to that end, should EN-
ploy able counsel to examine into the
subject, study the legislation of
other states, profit by their improve
ments and avoid their mistakes and
shortcomings. Reference is well made
to the fact that the elections Of 1886
and 1888 "were peaceably conducted
without federal interference except
for the nominal presence of supervisors,
while, at the last election, "the polls at
every voting precinct in the city of Will
mington swarmed with deputy United
States marshals, all selected as par
tisans Of one of the politi-
cal parties, whose presence tended
merely to increase popular excite
ment and to add to the confusion
and disorder, and whose occupation
consisted mainly in manipulating the
most degraded body Of voters whose
race prejudice had evidently been in
famed by INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
The presence Of these men was not only
a heavy and useless expense to the tax
payers, but wholly unnecessary for any
purpose in theinterest of fair and honest
elections" and, it might be added, an
insult to every citizen who values the
freedom inherited from the patriots
who shed their blood that Americans
might be made free. Under the admin
istration of President Cleveland we had
no use for this abominable relic of the
coerciye legislation Of the reconstruc-
ton era Of twenty years ago. When
free people cannot be trusted to govern
themselves it will be time to erect
monument to the memory Of republic
can institutions in this country.
