by nearly all the Senators, for the quiet
and successful manner in which the ar
rest was made, but hope never to re-
ceive congratulations again for any
work SO disagrcca5le as that was It
was dangerous, but the most disarreca-
bic part of it was that Senator Riddle
berger was good man at heart and a
gentleman whose native abilities COM
handed respect and admiration. The
Republic was just one hundred wears
old when the first Senator was arrested,
and l hope it may be many hundred
years before similar scene is enacted"
There was once an equally dramatic
scene in the Senate but no arrest was
made. In 1870 Senator Sumner made
an exceedingly bitter attack upon a
Senator from Delaware whose bibulous
habits were very strong. wherefrom
his passions were undulv eXcitable
That afternoon, by the advice and ur-
gent solicitation of friends, he left the
Capitol without answering the attack
which had been made upon him. But
the next day he entered the Senate
chamber prepared to give final and
unanswcrable reply to the distinguished
and able son of Massachusetts. But as
he took his seat in n swinging manner
common to people who have been drink
ing his answer to Sumner fell from his
ovcrcoat pocket. 1t was 42-caliber
sclf-cocking revolver. That accident
saved the Senate probably from n muir
der scene. Friends immediately sur
rounded the Senator, possessed them
selves of his weapon and led him a way
Senator Sumner, however arose and
Immediately offered resolution of cen
sure and asked it's present considera-
ton by the Senate. An objection was
made and the resolution went over until
the next day. Senator Sumner called up
his resolution on the morrow and urged
its consideration in strong speech,
wherein he referred to the assault
which had been made upon him years
before by Brooks, of South Carolina,
but as soon as he resumed his seat the
Delaware statesman arose and offered
an apology to the Senate for his I'M
fortunate action and then Sumner with
drew his resolution.
There was another occasion when
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, hurled
cpithcts at Senator Conl1ling, of New
York, which he said mo good man de
serves and no brave man will wear"
and personal rcncontre seemed immi-
nent. But, in all critical, exciting
dramatic and approximately tragic
scenes, the Senate has managed TO pre-
serve it's dignity, save on the occasion
so earnestly described by Colonel Can
aday, when Senator was arrested on
the floor of the Senate and forcibly
taken from the chamber.

Separating Copper from Arsenic.

If the current of foEr or five cells is

is complete separation of the copper.

CONCORD, N. H, February 24.-Nearly
the entire afternoon session Of the House
was occupied by United States Senators
elect J. ii. Gallinger. of Concord. and II. w.
Greene, of Hopkinton. in replying. under a
question OF personal privilege, 10 the allega-
tions made by United States Senator VIM. E
Chandler In an editorial In the columns Of
his paper, the Concord Monitor. that these
gentlemen and herRepublIcans had entered
into series Of bargains with Hon. Frank
Jones. Hon. @. A. Sinclair and other inhuen-
tial Democrats, inimlcal to the interest Of
Republicans Of this state. Each gentleman
replied at great length, denying plainly and
unequivocally every one Of the alleged bar
gains. DIR. Galllnger's remarks were charae-
terized by moderation and dignity, but Mr..
Greene at times became very animated. Dur
eur" coward" and assassin Of charac-
ter" to Senator Chandler.
While Mr.. Gallinger had the floor. he ap
pealed to Mr.. Sulloway OF Manchester TO
state whether Senator Chandler's allegation
was true, that he (Gallinger) was responsible
for the malignant attacks made upon him
caucus in 1889. Mr.. Sulioway, who was then
member, said that Mr.. Gallinger was not so
responsible. and that Senator Chandler was
ansunmitigated liar.
Mr.. Pillsbury OF Derry, a Republican offer
ed the following:
Resolved, That this House has read with un-
measurable surprise and indignation, In the col
umns OF the Monitor, a newspaper OF extensive
circulation, whose chief owner Is Hon. William
K. Chandler, Senator Of the United States from
this commonwealth, charges OF a most offensive
character against certain prOminent members Of
this body, who have been especially honored by
US and by the people Of the state; charges which,
II true, would lnflct lasting disgrace upon this
body irrespective Of party, and leave a stain up
on the fair name Of our state. We, therefore,
feel called upon TO characterize the utterances OF
said paper OF the 10th inst, above referred TO. as
either inventions Of malice or the maniacal raw
lngs OF one whose reason Is dethroned. Ii Is,
therefore, the sense OF this House that Senator
William e. Chandler ought to tender to this legis-
lature either an apology or full retraction Of the
charges.
Mr.. Angel of Derry (Rep) said: Before
this resolution Is submitted / shonld like to
know whether William Il. Chandler Is
