A few weeks ago : bill TO regulate pub-1
lie printing was under discussion. 49,
for two days the time OF the senate was<
almost altogether taken mp by SenatorSi
Henderson and Cockrell, who carrisdf
on an incessant conversational debate
1t was all in good temper except on ons<
occasion, when Mr.. Henderson charged
Mr.. Cockrell with being . common
scold, whereat there was . sensation.
but Mr.. Henderson instantly softened'
his blow by adding that he didn't object
to scolding so long as he had an oppor-
tunity TO scold back.
More earnest and significant was . re-
cent tilt between Senators Teller snd !
Sherman. The former, who Is one OF I.
the most courageous men In public life,
scored Mr.. Sherman soundly for attempt~i
ing TO shut Of debate on the silver reso--
lutions. When he rose TO reply grand !
old John Sherman" was evidently much
stirred up. Teller had struck FIRE. Mr..
Sherman, tall. gaunt, looking more and
more like bis dead brother Tecuuseh as
years are added TO his score, swung his
long arms about and made five minutes
speech. which for vigor and elective
ness has rarely been eQuaied IN tne-sen-
ate. He denied that he was trying TOD
suppress debate on the silver or snyl
other question. he was ready TO dis
cuss IL now or at any other time. III

never run away" And to prove hiss
willingness be threw at the silver lead
ers perfect hurricane OF hot shot from
his well filed magazine. causing more
than one observer TO say, There's 81
heap OF life In the old man yet"
One OF the nuisances OF debate In the
house is the Interruptions. III an orator.
will permit IL other members will taAef
up all his time with questions, some OF
them pretty hard nuts TO crack too. As
q rule these interruptions are taken
good naturally, but occasionally .
speaker objects somewhat tarty. Wit
ness the following colloquy between
Pendleton, of West Virginia, and Bou-'
telle. of Maine:
Mr. Boutele-Do you want an answer
TO that question?
Mr. Pendleton-I will be very glad to
have an answer.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1892-04-24

Mr.. Boutele-I will answer the ques-
ton very cheerfully, and will answer
IL by parable
Mr.. Pendleton--l want you 10 answer
my question.
Mr.. Boutelle-The gentleman asks a.
question very much like question that
was
Mr.. Pendleton-Are you answering
my question or are you trying 70 get up
some parable?
Mr.. Boutele-I will answer your
question II you want an answer.
Mr.. Pendeton--If you want TO answer
II am perfectly willing; but ! am not
willing that you shall speak parable
Mr.. Boutelle--I am inclined to think
that you could answer the question 20
suit yourself better than l can. / do
not care anything about your ststement
or your question.
Mr.. Pendleton-And / do not care
anything about you. Your talk n
simply on your usual style all the time.
You undertook 10 answer me, and then
went out OF your way TO make an uncivil
and discourteous remark.
Mr.. Boutelle-I would like 10 have
the gentleman address the chair.
Mr.. Pendleton-You have addressed
me.
Mr.. Boutelle-Now. II you want me 10
answer a single question
Mr.. Pendleton-I do not desire you 70
answer single question.
Mr.. Boutelle-Then, Mr.. Chairman,
simply suggest that the gentleman had

Mr.. Pendleton-Itis q question which
has engaged the profoundest thinkers OF
our times
Mr.. Boutelle-Including the gentle
man from West Virginia.
Mr.. endleton-Though IL has not on

in addition II should engage your atten-
ton 70 exercise little more cIvility, q

Another scene was when Mr.. Hatch,
OF Missouri, attacked young George
Fred Williams, OF Massachusetts,. snd
spoke of his 'incomparable egotisu,' Of
STATESMEN who were still ia svaddiins

TO interrupt and shook his FIST 81 Hatch,
but the MIssourisn has great voice.
and with IL he easily drowned out the
words Of his antagonist. Hatch capped
the climax by Offering 70 trade Williams

inexpressibly good, from fascinating
Mrs. Gainsborough and her diamonds,
down.
1 felt q peculiar interest In Mrs.
GainsbOrough, because Ia addition 10
her other attractions, she was coun'
trywOman Of mine-that Is 70 say, an
American. She was a brunette, slen-
der, graceful, with a weird expression
OF the eyes under straight black eye
broWs, an expression which somehow
suggested mesmerism-or, perhaps, a
liability on her part 70 be mesmerized;
faultless throat and shoulders, and
hands and wrists that she could talk
with. almost. Where had Tom found
her? never had thought OF asking
him; she was Nirginian, very
likely-an IF. f. V."-and they
had doubtless met upon the Contl-
nent This was the first occasion on
which I had seen her In Der diamonds.
Indeed. Tom and she had only been
married a year or two, and had been
settled In that biiOu residence OF theirs
scarcely six months, and this was but
nv third or fourth dinner there. Well,
her diamonds became her, and she
then. n they somehow matched that
Ecird light 10 her eyes, and 1 told Tom

room, just big enough, just cool enough,
soft carpeted, clear walled, and the
steady, white radiance of the Argsnd
burners descending upon the damask

flowers; and an agreeable shadow over

sense OF unconscious good breeding and
unobtrusive wealth; and-but / will not

hurled back and forth. That is what
we onlookers, 10 the halls OF congress
like to see. A tilt on the floor empties
the cloak rooms and Hobbies and fills
the press gallery ina twinkling. Every
one is eager to see the sparks fly. The
present session has been prolific OF such
scenes. When Speaker Crisp and ex-
Speaker Reed met In the parliamentary
arena a short time ago crowd gathered
around to enjoy the fray. A vote had
been taken on a motion that the house
take a recess, and Mr.. Enloe made the
point of order that no quorum had
voted.
Mr.. Reed-The gentleman does not
make the point OF no quorum. de makes
the point that no quorum has voted.
The Speaker-Under the rules OF the
house and the present administration
of the house, gentlemen are not consid-
cred present unless they vote. APP
plause on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Reed-That shows, Mr.. Speaker,
that there has been new system adopt
ed since the last congress.
The Speaker-That shows that the
present occupant Of the chair will en-
deayor to enforce the rules OF the house.
! Applause on the Democratic side.
Mr.. observation-disclosures Mr.. Speaker,
the observation l made Is entirely cor
rect, namely, that the point which the
gentleman from Tennessee made was
that no quorum has voted, while the
chair announced that the point he made
was mo quorum"
The Speaker-No quorum
Mr.. Reed-Yes, and my observation,
Notwithstanding the retort OF the chair,
was entirely correct.
The Speaker-Perhaps 1t is, but IL is
entirely out OF order.
Mr.. Reed-It was entirely correct,
and therefore the chair has no right TO
make such remark
The Speaker-The gentleman may be
correct, when at the same time heis out
OF order.
Mr.. Reed was entirely In order
when ] called the attention OF the chair
to the fact
The Speaker-The chair thinks not.
Mr.. Reed-EntIrely in order.
The Speaker-The chair thinks the
gentleman is entirely out OF order.
There was no occasion for any such re-
ply. The point was not made by the
gedtleman from Maine, but by somebody
else-the point OF no quorum. The
chair entertained the point, whereupon
the gentleman from Maine made the
suggestion he has made.
Mr.. Reed said TO the chair that the
gentleman made the point that no quo
rum had voted, and the chair stated II
to be the point OF mo quorum" which
is different proposition; and. l had the
right TO call the attention OF the chair 10
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1892-04-24

that, and the chair had no right to make
such report, even II he was supported
by the disorderly applause on his side,
which he permitted.
The Speaker-The chair will state
that there is no distinction, under the
present rules OF the house, between the
point OF mo quorum" and mo quorum
voting" There is distinction between
those two points and the suggestion OF
mo quorum present." as made under
the rules at the last session.
One Of the most amusing scenes ever
witnessed in the house was when Mr..
Harter, OF Ohio. 10 the course OF speech
on the silver bill, declared that the sill
YER barons had taken the people By the
throat and choked them, illustrating bis
meaning by Selling Congressman Nc
Kaig, Of Maryland, by the neck and CIV
ing him . vigorous shaking. Sheuts OF
laughter greeted this performance, and
members sitting near by prudeDtiy
moved out OF reach OF earnest Mr.. Har-
ter's hands.
Another funny scene was when Mr..
Harter and Mr.. Bland, leaders OF OPP
DOSlDg FORCES IN tho oiifcf nkhes pulre
out their watches and held them up for
inspection. Mr.. Harter's watch was
gold and Mr.. BANDS silver, and the
earnest way In which they compared
them set the hou-e 10 roar.
A few days later there was another
exhibition OF watches. when Ia the
course OF the tariff debate Butler. OF
lows. and Walker, Of Massachusetts,.
pulled out their timepieces and held them
aloft TO illustrate their arguments
Last week Speaker Crisp and Mr.. Bur
