did not retire until nearly O'Clock, and
tho Senator had not yet returned.
Shortly before . o'clock, Mr. jennings

was very sick, and requested him to
come down stairs and sit up with him.
MIR. Jennings saw that the Senator's
CONDITION was serious, and at , O'Clock
DR.. Wales was summoned. the doctor
alleviated the pain and administered
proper remedies.
At quarter to : o'clock Senator
Plumb awoke, and. with spring,

His head was aching violently. The
vomiting ceased after a time. Then
the Senator tossed his hands to his
head and exclaimed "Oh, my God!
my head! my headl" the last words he
ever uttered.
At about 10 o'clock Mr.. b. W. Elem
niken, clerk 10 the committee on public
lands, of which Senator Plumb was
chairman, and his private secretary for
some years, called, as was his custom,
to assist the Senator with his CORE

that he was breathing heavily and
stentoriously. DR.. Wales was again
summoned. He saw at once that his
patient had been stricken with Apo
pleXy. Mr.. Plumb was unconscious
and his tongue was paralyzed. The
doctor, Mr.. Flenniken and Mr.. jennings
remained with him until the end came
at 1l:50.
To-day the United States Senate, House

RICHMOND, Dec. 21.-lSpecial The
latent fires of opposition to the reap.
porGionment bill burst forth to-day and
the entire day has been consumed in a
bootless fight against the bill as stated
in these dispatches. The senate Satur-
day evening passed the bill as it came
frome the house, which was the commit
tee report entire, making only few
changes in the wording.
The bill was ordered to the house by
message, but the house having adj
lourned the bill was forced to STAY in
the senate until this morning. This was
enough. Discussion was the order at
tho Exchange Hotel nearly all of last
night, and this morning the senate re-
considered the vote by which the bill
was passed and an amendment trans
posing the counties of FIuvanna and
Cumberland in the house district was
adopted. Thus amended the bill strucl,
snag in the house, where several men,
bers only wanted an excuse to break the
bill. conference committee was an
pointed. 1t couldn't agree and tired of
awaiting its report the house after two
recesses adjourned
The committee reported to the SEN
ate, which refused to recede from les
amendment. and after long parlia-
mentary fight the bill was killed, and
the senate bill, which is the same as
the original House bill, was called up.
The senate adjourned at Z o'clock till
IL tomorrow. This leaves the passage
of any eapportionment bill problem
ical, and will probably postpone the
holiday adjournment until Wednesday.
In the house Mr.. Thomas, of Roa
noke, introduced bill to amend the
code, which limits the number of notar-

ers at the residence OF the
deceased on Fourteenth street were
several OF the messengers for the
capital and his private secretary. This
morning there were few callers at the
house, mostly Senate employees, who
greatly admired Senator Plumb in life
for his M any charitable efforts in their
behalf and held his memory in deeper
reverence. Among the callers were
Capt. j. G.. Lindsay, of Kansas, who
commanded company in Senator
Plumb's regiment during the war and
his warm personal friend.
At 10 o'clock the casket was borne
from the house to the hearse by eight

coal black horses, caparisoned with
heavy robes of black netting, a carriage

after the casket was deposited in the
marble room large number Of persons
gathered around the door anxious TO
