HOUSE.

MIR. Wheeler, of Alabama, rising to n
question Of personal privilege, sent to
the clerks desk the book written by
Representative Watson. of Georgia, en-
titled Not Revolt it is q Rcvolu-
ton" In this book Mr.. Wheeler is re-
corded as having voted for the mail
subsidy bill
There were loud demands for the
Irregular order" but Mr.. Wheeler in
sisted upon being heard. He had not
voted that way.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, (sotto yoce). We
will take your word for q little thing
like that.
But Mr.. Wheeler would not be down
ed and although the Speaker decided
that no question of privilege had been
presented, insisted upon being heard.
In spite of objection on all sides Mr..
Wheeler held his ground, and in order
to secure the floor had read an extract
from the book in which it is asserted
that in the present Congress drunken
members reelcd about the aisles to the
digrace of tho Republic and drunken
speakers debated grave issues.
This undoubtedly presented ques-
ton of privilege and Mr.. Wheeler was
recognized. He denounced the publ
cation as the most ridiculous falsehood
ever uttered on tho American CONT
nent. (Applausc.) History did not
show an instance of u viler attack on
a representative body than this. ZAP
plause.) Every member was tainted
with the charge.
Mr.. Wheeler then proceeded to an
swer the speech made by MIR. Watson
Wednesday, and he was frequently
called to order by Mr.. Burrows, of
Michigan, and repeatedly requested by
the Speaker to confnc himself to the
question of privilege. But Mr.. Wheeler
declined to do so and was permitted to
proceed for a quarter of an hour longer,
when remark about the organization
of the society of sons and daughters of
the revolution called forth another
point of order from Mr.. Burrows, who
requested information as to what the
organization of that society had to do
with the question of privilege.
The chair again appealed to Mr..
Wheeler to confne his remarks to the
question.
Mr.. Reed-Cannot the chair suggest
some remedy for this infection.
The Speakers patience was well-nigh
exhausted and with firmness he direct
ed the gentleman from Alabama to coa-
fine himself to the question before the
House or take his seat. The chair

SENATE.
When the reading clerk had come to
the close of yesterdays journal the re-
publican side of the chamber contained
s Senators and the democratic side one
or two more. Mr.. Quay was one ofthe
few Senators present and he called at
tention to the absence Of quorum.
That was enough to justify the Vice
President in ordering call of the Sen
ate. The electric bells connected with
the committee rooms were set tink-
ling as the clerk began the call of the
roll, and sufficient number of men,
bcrs came in, looking tired and languid,
to run up the whole to 43. This being
two less than quorum, the sergeant
alarms was, on motion of Mr.. Sherman,
directed to request the attendance Of
absentees. Within few minutes Mr..
German put in an appearance and there
was q long wait for member 10, who fl
nally came in in the person of Mr.. Proc
tor, Mr.. Stewart having in the mean
time offered to entertain the Senate
with few remarks, which offer the
Vice President declined to accept as not
being in order.
Mr.. Cockrell called attention to the
fact that the list of retail prices of ar
ticles in England in June, 1889, and in
September, 1891, had not been publish
ed in connection with the report of the
subcommittee on finance, on the sub
ject of relative wages and prices in Eng
land and the United States, but had
been printed as Il supplement to that
report.
Mr.. Carlisle made an explanation on
the subject.
That mistake, however, would now
be corrected.
Mr.. Stewart awaited himself of the
opening which this matter gave him, to
make speech to show that the fall in
prices was the result of the insufficiency
of money circulation, through the de-
monetization of silver.
Mr.. Call offered resolution direct
ing the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia to report why they had per-
mitted the reconstruction of Heurich's
brewery (burncd about a week ago.
while there was proposition pending
in Congress to prohibit its being rebuilt
or used as brewery.
Mr.. Sherman suggested that it was
very unreasonable to expect that the
Commissioners would neglect their
duties because senator or member
of Congress had introduced bill or
resolution. What right, he asked, had
Congress or anybody else to prevent a
man from rebuilding on his property?
1t was unjust and wrong. The rcsolu-
ton went over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Carlisle addressed the Senate on
Mr.. Hales resolution as to the relative
merits of protection " and Il. tariff
for revenue only" and in response to
tho speeches of Mcssrs. Hale and AL
rich, he said the recent report of the
committee on finance had been so
thoroughly misunderstood or so grossly
misreprcsented in the public press that
he felt it the duty of some one on the
democratic side of the chamber who had
assisted in making the investigation TO
state their views.

As stated in the GAZETTE a terrific
storm struck Luray about 6 o'clock
Wednesday evening, accompanied with
much hail and wind. A cloudburst in
narrow valley just north Of the town
filled tho dry valley with Il mighty,

its path. Persons living in its track
had barely time to escape with their
lives. In Springfield, in Page county,
building was blown down, killing a
son of Mr.. John T. Haak, and the
horse on which he was riding. AT
Stonyman, three miles south of Luray,
the large terra-cotta works were blown
down, dcmolishing much of the stock.
Timber and crops were laid flat In its
track, and altogether the oldest inhab-
itants say that it came nearer a cyclone
than anything that every struck Luray.

DisQUALlfiCATiONs OF MARRIED

IN many Of the large cities Of this

Cd to perform tho ceremony
OF christening over new war
vessel to be launched from the
Bath iron works In few weeks hence.
The officers Of the navy yards, and OF
the American fleet generally, received
the intelligence with dismay. An old
officer Of the Brooklyn navy yard,
when Intercepted ON this point, said:
at Is an ancient tradition that no mar
rlod woman may baptlzo now vessel.
such an innovation could not ho' iulor-
atod, lnasmuch "a n superstition would
follow the vessel that might make Ii dIf-
iicuIt, II not impossible, to get a crew"
II appears that, according 10 naval
etiquette, the launch OF a now vessel

ance rests with the builders subject 10
the approval OF the Secretary OF the
Navy. There Is also an unwritten oti.
quctto among the Sons Of Neptune
which Is just Ms binding and more re.
liglously observed than any statutory
enactment. II Is that the ceremony VI
christening must be performed by
maiden, and on no account by mar.
ried woman.
This IL said to explain the trouble
with the christening OF the "Balti-
more" In lSSs. II wa, at fret an.
nounced that Mrs. Wilson, wife OF tue
naval constructor, would perform the
ceremony come cited with the naming
OF the "Baltimoro". Protests from

the Secretary. The baptism was
postponed, and society at Wash ingtun
was Gs,onlshed that one OF It's promi.

interesting ceremony. rhe vessel
when launched some weeks later was
named by young maiden.
Its expected that Mrs. Hale must
take n hack seat AZ the rites Of the
"Ammen" ram few weeks hence,
and that some lady of tender years
will take her place. The wishes,
superstitions and traditions OF tho
sons OF Neptune will doubtless bo
