almost altogether taken up by Senators
Henderson and Cockrell, who carried on
an incessant conversational debate. 1t
was all in good temper, except on one
occasion, when Mr. Henderson charged
Mr.. Cockrell with being common scold,
whereat there was a sensation, but Mr..
Henderson instantly softened his blow
by adding that he didn't object to scold-
ing SO long as he had an opportunity to
scold back. No blood was shed.
More earnest and significant was re-
cent tilt between Senators Teller and
Sherman. The former, who is one of
the most courageous men in public life,
scored Mr.. Sherman soundly for at
tempting to shut off debate on the sill
yer resolutions. When he rose to reply
"grand old John Sherman" was evident
ly much stirred up. Teller had struck
fire. Mr.. Sherman, tall, gaunt, looking
more and more like his dead brother
Tecumseh as years are added to his
score, swung his long arms about and
made five minute speech, which for
vigor and effectiveness has rarely been
equaled in the senate. He denied that
he was trying to suppress debate on the
silver or any other question. He was
ready to discuss it now or at any other
time. II make Mistakes" he declared,
"but I never run away" And to prove
his willingness he threw at the silver
leaders a perfect hurricane of hot shot
from his well filled magazine, causing
more than one observer to say, There's
a heap of life in the old man yet.'
One of the nuisances Of debate in the
house is the interruptions, If an orator
will permit it other members will take
up all his time with questions, some of
them pretty hard nuts to crack too. AS
a rule these Interruptions are taken
good naturedly but occasionally
speaker objects somewhat tartly. Wit
ness the following colloquy between
Pendleton, of West Virginia, and Bou-
telle, of Maine:
Mr.. Boutelle-Do you want an answer to that
question?
Mr.. Pendleton-I will be very glad to have
an answer.

tention Of the chair to that, and the chair had
no right to make such a retOrt, even if he was
supported by the disorderly applause on his
side, which he permitted.
The SpeakCr-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 a distinc-
ton between those two points and the sugges-
ton of no 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, in the course of a speech
on the silver bill, declared that the sill
yer barons had taken the people by the
throat and choked them, illustrating his
meaning by Selling Congressman Nc
Kaig, of Maryland, by the neck and Civ
ing him vigorous shaking. Shouts of
laughter greeted this performance, and
members sitting near by prudently
moved out of reach of earnest Mr.. Har-
ter's hands.
Another funny scene was when Mr..
Harter and Mr.. Bland, leaders of OPP
posing forces in the silver fight. pulled
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 house in roar.
A few days later there was another
exhibition of watches, when in the
course of the tariff debate Butler, of
Iowa, and Walker, of Massachusetts.
pulled out their timepieces and held
them aloft to illustrate their arguments
Last week Speaker Crisp and Mr.. Bur
rows, of Michigan, engaged in parlia-
mentary combat. Mr.. Burrows persisted
in speaking when the speaker thought
he was out of order, and in the end the
gentleman from Michigan was compelled
to take his seat. But he had his revenge
on the speaker by engaging in a filibus-
tering campaign which prevented the
house doing any business for an entire
afternoon.
In the senate these colloquies do not
arise very often. Senators are exceed
ingly dignifed, scrupulously careful as
q rule. not to walk on each others toes.
A few weeks ago a bill to regulate pub
lie printing was under discussion, and
for two days the time of the senate was

you or interruptions from you.
Another scene was when Mr.. Hatch,
of Missouri, attacked young George
Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, and
spoke of his incompatible egotism," of
Statesmen who were still in swaddling
Clothes" etc. Mr.. Williams attempted
to interrupt and shook his fist at Hatch,
but the Missourian has q great voice.
and with it he easily drowned out the
words of his antagonist. Hatch capped
the climax by offering to trade Williams
off for "the sockless statesman from
Kansas" proposition to swap New
England Democracy for western Farm
ers' Alliance men, which caused no end
of merriment in the hall, in which Mr..
Williams heartily Joined.

hurled back and forth. That is what
we onlookers in the halls of congress
like to see, A tilt on the floor empties
the cloalrooms and Hobbies and fills the
press gallery in 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 short time ago a crowd gathered
around to enjoy the fray. A vote had
been taken ON a motion that the house
take 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. He 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 considered present unless
they vote. Applause on the Democratic side. ]
Mr.. Reed-That shows, Mr.. Speaker, that
there has been a new system adopted since the
last congress.
The Speaker-That shows that the present
occupant of the chair will endeavor to enforce
the rules of the house. Applause on the Dem
ocratic side.]
Mr.. Reed-Nevertheless, Mr.. Speaker, the

made was mo quorum"
The Speaker-No quorum
Mr.. Reed-Y"s, and my observation, not
withstanding the retort of the chair, was en-
tirely correct.
The Speaker-Perhaps it is, but it is entirely
out of order.
Mr.. Reed-It was entirely correct, and there
fore the chair had no right to make such re-
mark
The Speaker-The gentleman may be cor

Mr.. Reed was entirely in order when
sailed the attention Of the chair to the fact.
The Speaker-The chair thinks not.
Mr.. Reed-Entrely in order
The Speaker-The chair thinks the gentle
man is entirely out of order. There was no
occasion for any such reply. The point was
not made by the gentleman from Maine, but
by somebody else-the point of no quorum.
The chair entertained the point, whereupon
the gentleman from Maine made the sugges-
ton he has made.

Occasionally the best of friends get
into spats in the heat of debate. Hen
derson, of Iowa, and Sayers, of Texas,
are both good fighters, members of the
same committee and warm friends. One
day they had a dispute about question
of fact. In parliamentary language
the lie was all but passed. They
clinched their fists and looked savagely
at each other. Instantly there was great
confusion in the hall, and while the
speaker was pounding his desk to
splinters in an effort to restore order,
the combatants came to their senses,
smiled at each other and the war cloud
was gone. WALTER WELLMAN.

In scanning the pages of some old
scientific text book, famous in its
day, it is curious 20 note the min
Cling of truth and error. The early
physicists were impatient at their
own ignorance, and endeavored to
conceal it by means of guesses which
now only excite a smile. Muschen-
brock, for example, is admirable in
his exposition of the physical prop
critics of matter as known and ad-
mitted by the best minds, but when
he passes into the region of conjec-
ture he appears to be another and
inferior man. 1t is scarcely credible
that so able a teacher should have

CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Officers of Seattle Dairy Associa-
tion Sued for an Accounting.
INSANE MANS SUIT SETTLED
His Guardian Obtains Permission Of the
Probate Court-Sam Lee Goes to
the Pen-Ths Blotter.

The litigation over the affairs Of the insolvent
Seattle Dairy Association grows more compli-
Gated every day. Yesterday George II. Hummel,
for himself and other stock holders, brought suit
for an accounting against the officers and stock
holders of the association. The plaintiff alleges
that last September, when he bought stock, the
capital stock was fixed at $40 600, of which $24-
600 was paid up. From that time until the seiz-
ure of the associations property for debt Last
month it had receipts from sales of from 5000
to $4,000 each month. There was also 1900
worth of stock sold. The monthly expenses did
not exceed 5000, and large quantities of milk
bought by the association were not paid for, yet
it was deeply in debt when its legal troubles be-
gan.
II is charged that, on February 10, Charles L
Taylor. the president, Glenn Branhsm, the secrs-
tary, and George Buttery. the manager, by collu-
sion, and without the knowledge or consent OF
the trustees, mortgaged the property to NJ. Nc
Dougalf to secure the payment of 81 700 due on:a
contrac for milk at prices far in excess of the
regular rates.
The officers are also charged with other
similar ofenses and total neglect to look prop
erly after the business of the association and 10
keep records of its transactions. 1t 10 claimed
that they owe about 5000 to the association.
The court is asked to enjoin tho defendants
from receiviag any money due the association;
to compel them to bring their books into court,
and to make full accounting.

PRESIDENT ELIOT OF HARVARD.
Tho Man and the University With
which He IL Identified.

Charles William Eliot, the foremost educator
in this country, Is now IS years old. His father,
Samuel Atkins Eliot, was in his day one of the
prominent men OF New England, mayor of Bos-
ton, member Of the Massachusetts, Legislature,
and representative in Congress- Tho son was
fitted for college at the famous Boston Latin
school, and then went TO Harvard, from which
he was graduated in 1858. He 10 q man OF fine
physique, and during his undergraduate days
he was one OF the best athletes in Cam bridge,
member of the crew and an active participantin
all out-of door sports.
The year after he received his degree ne was
appointed tutor in mathematics, and In 1888 he
he was made assistant professor OF mathematics
and chemistry. He soon gave up his WORK IN
the mathematical department, ana devoted
himself wholly to teaching chemistry IN ths
Lawrence Scientific school, which 10 part OF
the university. In 1868 he went TO Europe for
two years to steady his speciality, and to eI-
anime the systems of public instruction IN
France, England and Germany. On his return
in 1885 he received the appointment OF professor
OF analytical chemistry in the Massachusetts, ln-
stitute of Technology. In that year an impor-
tsnt change occurred in the management OF
Harvard University. The board OF overseers
had consisted OF the governor of Massachusetts,,
the lieutenant governor, president of the state
senate, speaker of house, secretary OF the board
OF education and president and treasurer OF the
university, together with thirty other persons
elected by joint ballot OF the two houses OF the
legislature The injection of politics into the
management OF the institution had become
grave evil, and accordingly the power of choos-
ing the overseers was transferred from the legis
lature 10 the graduates of the college. The ef-

CREW AT WAR WITH CAPTAIN.
Trouble ON Board the Bark p. j. Carle-
ton In Salmon Bay.

Trouble ON Board the Bark p. j. Carlo.
ton In Salmon Bay.
There Is some trouble between the captain
and sailors on board the bark P. j. Carleton,
now loading off Salmon bay for South America.
The crew was shipped at San Diego for the
round voyage, but the captain now wants
to discharge seven of the sailors, claim
ing that he is afraid to 60 to sea
with them. The sailors complain of the food
they receive and have grown quite demonstra-
tive in their protests but they do not want to be
discharged. Captain Crosby 10 quite an old man
and it is probable these manifestations of dis
satisfaction have scared him, for yesterday he
appealed to Shipping Commissioner D. A. Nc
KenZie to 20 out and investigate the affair
Mr.. Mckenzie says he found the food Of which
the sailors complained was about the same a.
that provided on other deep-water sailing ves-
sells, but that sailors on the Coast have become
accustomed TO much better food on coasting
vessels and think they ought to have the same
kind of treatment on deep water vessels; that
the sailors on the Carleton have grown very inso-
lent toward the captain, and he is really afraid
of them. Mr.. Mckenzie thinks the best thing
the captain can do is TO pay them of. 1t is q
little interesting, from a legal point of view, to
know what the outcome OF such q course
Would be
