WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The Senate
was supposed to reassemble at 1890
this morning to continue on the legis--
lative day of Tuesd ~ Of last week, but
1t was fifteen minutes afterward that
43 Senators-a quorum-had made their
appearance in the chamber. The con-
eideration Of the silver purchase repeal
bill was resumed, and Stewart continued
his speech, begun severalweeks ago and
taken up at various times since then.
: After he had spoken an hour the
absence OF quorum was suggested by
Power, and Stewart suggested that
there ought to be quorum present, as
he had many important things to say.
The roll call was ordered and forty.six
Senators (three more than quorum),
were present, but before Stewart re-
sumed the floor motion was made by
Kyle that when the Senate adjourned
to-day it adjourn until tomorrow at
noon. Voorhees, hoped that the motion
would not prevail and was informed by
the Vice President that tho motion
was not open to debate.
Teller called for the yeas and NAYS.
The vote resulted: Yeas Cameron,
Coke, PETER, Stewart and Teller, nay d
80. There was no quorum voting, as
several Senator'S present withheld their
votes. The roll call was again called
and forty. eight Senators responded.
Then the question was again taken on
Kyle's motion and it was rejected.
Yeas 6, Teller not voting, nays Al.
Stewart then went on with his speech
against the repeal bill. At 1:2O Stewart,
without finishing his speech, yielded
the floor to his colleague, Jones, who
resumed his speech which he had left
off yesterday
Jones yielded the floor, after having
had dialogue with MCPHERSON, saying
that he would continue his speech at
another time, perhaps tomorrow, and
that 1t WAS not tho intention Of anyone
connected with his side of the question
to prolong the discussion any longer
than was necessary for them to give
their views entirely to the Senate and
to the people.
Faulkner said that as he was satisfied
that Jones' closing remark stated cor
rectly the position of the opponents of
the BILL he moved that the Senate take
a recess. The motion was agreed to,
and the Senate at p. m. took recess
until ii 4. m. tomorrow.

visory board of the Street Railway
Mems Union ordered a strike on all the

peal. Human beings, enjoying the use
OF their reason and the advantages OF
cooperation, will not put up with In
justice so long as they can get justice by
methods Of their own. The only way TO
counteract that tendency TO Judicial
self help Is the plan adopted By the sui
tan OF Morocco, who hunts political
indictments like wild beasts, and by

gies to the problem OF survival leaves
them no chance to interfere with his

The ramparts OF the robber strong

SANTA CLAUS, CAL, April IL.
The old missions OF California are a
great treat. l have visited a number OF
them. At first l thought they were built
and operated for the entertainment OF
excursionists, but l now find that they
are genuine and do much good.
The mission at Santa Barbara is an
elderly building Of some size, and INSIDE
of the monastery through the iron
barred windows monks may be observed
engaged 10 ''%monking," as Mr.. Barna-
bee might say.
Inside the chapel a middle aged monS
was busting the a with a leather
buster and polishing the hard benches
so as to make IL more difficult to sit On
them. BY and by perhaps he will make
1t impossible. l trust so. At present
each attendant supplies his own "roz-
zum."
Several attractive ladies accompanied
me, aud when the monk heard their
voices he turned, looked the other way
and said something to himself. A mar
can't DE too careful that way IL he be
connected with the monklng industry.
Only two women have ever crossed
the threshold of the monastery proper.
They were Princess Louise and Mrs.
Harrison. Ever since then the brother
hood have been engaged in trying TO
overcome this by a rsgid course OF deVo-
tions worthy of a better cause.
Looking over the rules required OF
these monks, 1 a see how eminently
untitled l am fer such a life. Nothing
could be more widely different than
their lives and the gay, butterfly exist
ence l now lead, fitting as I do from
place to place, pausing only here ana

sible, but taking silver, Of course, In
some instances here on the coast.
do not know exactly how old THESE
missions are, but they are pretty old ana
rather picturesque. There should DC
better facilities there for the tourist to
drop a shilling in the box for the aid OF
the mission, for they would not mind 1t.
They get accustomed to the act OF con-
tributing to most everything as they go
along.
