WORN RY EACH OF Tue DANCERS.

In 1899 William Kemp. celebrated
comedian of the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
danced the Morris all the way from London
to Norwich. This feat at the time of its
performance was considered one of the
most remarkable ever attempted. Kemp
published a most interesting and curious
pamphlet giving full account of his advent
ures en- route and his wonderful exploit
continued to be 4 theme of popular illu-
sion for many years afterward. All along
the way the country people turned out to
greet the dancer in such crowds that at times
il was with great difficulty he could make
his way through them. He was entertained
by the nobility and gentry during his pro-
gress, and on his arrival at Norwich was
publicly received by the mayor with great
honor.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 23.-Breckin.
ridge of Arkansas caused the usual delay
this morning in the approval of the jour
nal, but it finally was accomplished after it
was read in full
Cooper of Indiana, rising to question
of privilege, had read a resolution offered
by him September last, making cer-
tain charges against the commits
sioner of pensions, and asking for
the broadening of the investigation
of that official. This resolution had been
referred to select committee to examine
previously. and on September IL the chair
man of that committee. Morrill,. of Kansas
was directed TO report the resolution, but
he had not performed the duty. Cooper.
therefore offered resolution directing the
committee 10 report. Quite lengthy de-
bate took place on points of order, etc, in
the course of which Morrill, said the COM
mittee had unanimously decided that the
resolution had been improperly referred
TO it.
Grosyenor of Ohio and Henderson, Smith
and Cannon of Illinois spoke briefly, de-
Tending the commissioner of pensions.
The matter was finally settled amicably
byiMorriIl obtainingsthe original resolution
from the file of the House, reporting it
from his committee and having 1t referred
TO the committee on rules.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation bill.
but without making any progress rose and
adjourned.

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Cockrell Resumes His Argument
Against the Cloture Resolution.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 23-When the
Senate, after recess, met at III this morn
ing, it found itself without a quorum, and
patiently waited the appearance of one.
This session was in continuation of that
of yesterday.
At Lilo quorum appeared, and busi-
ness was proceeded with. Cockrell there
upon resumed the floor, in order to con-
tinue his argument against the closure
resolution. He yielded, however To Hoar,
who added q few words to what he said
last evening.
When Hoar finished Cockrell again took
the floor and resumed his arguments
against the cloture rule, saying in the
course of his remarks that the Democratic
senators would be as brief as possible in
discussing matters of public necessity, but
if the Republican senators insisted on the
elections bill, merely partisan measure,
not indorsed by half their own party. the
Democratic senators would discuss it in
all its ramiiications.
Teller asked Aldrich how long he pro-
posed to allow for debate on the resolution,
remarking that it was rumored that some
arbitrary means were TO be resorted TO to
force decision.
Aldrich said he took it for granted
there could be no closing of debate except
by action of the Senate itself. and asked
unanimous consent that vote might he
taken ON the resolution and amendments
at o clock tomorrow.
German was delighted that the senator
resorted to that proper and orderly method
rather than depend upon the ipse dlxit of
the presiding officer, whose reputation for
intelligence and fairness as presiding Of
flcer was yet to be made.
Cockrell then closed his argument. It
was useless. he said, TO try to disguise the
purpose of the rule. The only object was
to pass the force bill. Everything else
was made subordinate to the whims of the
senator from Massachusetts,, and apostro-
phizing Mr.. Hoar, Cockrell exclaimed
"Shame upon you. my friend from Massachu-
sets, who now attempts to force upon the people
ating confession that they are no longer capable
of holding their own elections"
He read from st. Louis paper letter
addressed to Edmunds by former Repub-
lican constituent, now living in Texas,
protesting against the elections bill.
Edmunds said he never received such a
letter, and believed it to be fabricated to
promote the operations of resistance to the
elections bill.
Cockrell spoke in opposition to the pro-
posed ruling and against the elections bill.
He mentioned number of Republican
newspapers opposed to the bill, and said
he believed public opinion in the West,
without regard to party, was against it.
He mentioned as some of the Western Re-
publican papers that opposed the bill the
Omaha Bee, Minneapolis Journal, st. Paul
Pioneer Press. st. Louis Globe Democrat and
Denver Republican,
Stewart then took the floor and recess
was taken until tomorrow.

months ago there were in the special SER

In the timber depredations branch of this
