The trial of the V-heatley-Gist assault

The older men Of the Senate stood the
test of the first twenty-four hours Mr.
Hoar was on hand for every call, and so
were Sena tors Harris Voorhees,, Bate Wal
thall and Palmer. Senator German, though
suffering from a severe attack of neuralgia,
spent most Of the night in or near the
Senate chamber. Mr.. Walthall has not
been very well of late, but he seemed to
gain vigor from the excitement of the occa-
sion, and answered every roll call
Senator Martin does not always take care
to address his words to the chair, and often
turns his back deliberately upon the pre-
siding officer. Once Mr.. Faulkner, who re-
lieved the Vice President for lunch, called
him to order, and he apologized, saying:
Il have really become absorbed in my at
tentions to the welfare of the learned
Thebaus behind me- He referred to Mr..
Mcpherson, who was a consistent auditor
to his speech throughout. and to MIR.
Bland, who had been magnetized from the
House. Later the Vice President asked Mr.
Martin to turn around, and the latter ex-
cused himself.
IT was very much interested in my ef-
forts to reclaim my uncertain democratic
friend Of the Jersey coast" he said
The Threat Not Carried Ont.
The threat of Senator Voorhees, to COM
pei the silver republicans to answer to their
names had no apparent terrors for them,
for at 80, just half an hour from the pre-
ceding call. Senator Jones asked for a
quorum" the result was awaited with un.
usual interest. Senators Teller and Dubois
were not in the chamber, but Senators
WolcOtt Pettigrew and Jones were there
and sat silent when their names were
reached. Mr.. Teller came in at the con-
clusion of the first CALL but did not ask for
recognition. He sat down and waited for
developments with a defiant air. Mr.. Gray
was in the chair and announced the pres
ence of forty-three Senators. Senator Voor-
hees made no move and thus gave an in
dication that he would only try to put on
the screws when the regular means to Sc.
cure a quorum failed. The fight was post
poned

disordered mind has taken religious turn

day. His mother, Oceana Gassaway.
charged him with having threatened to
Kill her with a razor. Most of the time in
court he was boisterous. and when asked
what he had to say, he attempted to de-
liver religious lecture, saying the Bible
tells us that the younger generation is
weaker and wiser. He said his mother was
going to camp meetings and church and
he thought she was not setting her daugh-
tiers the proper example.
His mother said she was afraid Of him.
She wanted to have him sent away for
treatment some time ago, but did not sue

with perjury.
But 1 didn't prosecute her. did ~" he

The resolution introduced today by Rep

posing a recess of Congress from the 18th

the status OF public business at that time,
and was not therefore any indication, how
ever slight. that the silver situation might
be solved by the first named date.
AIR. Hunter explained that his idea was
to give congressman an opportunity to see
the fair before IL closed. But fnasmuch as
any member who really desires TO visit
the fair can secure leave of absence for
that purpose. Mr.. Outhwaite objected. and
the resolution was referred. A desire on
the part OF public men to see Chicago just
now is treated with much consideration by
the authorities. In the Supreme Court yes
terday postponement OF a case set for hear
ing that day was suggested on the ground
that one of the counsel was spending the
week in Chicago.
"A visit to Chicago" said Chief Justice
Fuller" is not mentioned in the rules OF
the court as sufficient grounds for con-
tinuing cases. but the court is inclined TO
encourage as far as possible the inclination
of people to visit that city just at this
time"
