THE SENATE RATED TO ORDER.
At this point Vice. President Stevenson
raped the Senate to order. saying that he
was called upon to rule on q point OF order
There was silence and long rest IL WIS
caused by tho work OF n clerk who brought
the Senate manual to the Vice. president and
pointed out to him rule 10. Mr.. Stevenson
then ordered the clerk to read that rule. This
was done. and the Senators heard this:
any Senator ansgress the rules OF tho Senate the
presiding officer shall, or Senator may. cali him -
order and when senator shall be called 10 order he
shall sit down and not proceed without leave OF the
Senate, which. IL granted shall be upon motion thas
he be allowed to proceed in order. which motioa shall
be determined without debate a. aes
Sac. 3. II a Senator be called to order for words
spoken in debate upon tho demand Of the Senate or
Of any other Senator tho exceptonable words shall
be down in writing and read nj the table for the
Information OF the Senate.
Mr.. Palmer having heard this rule read. an
nounced that he begged to say that he had no
desire to proceed further.
Up rose Senator Harris Of TENNESSEE. the
best pariame ntarian In the body. and declared
that the question must not be lost sight Of. Il
was q question whether the Senator from Illi-
nois was in order. The stenographer then
read the words uttered by Mr.. Palmer. thing
said not to have been done before In the Sen.
ate for years.
While the reading progressed. tho Senators
came in as IL through the floor and down from
the ceiling. The way the chamber filed up
seemed mysterious. Tho walls are lined with
DOORS and many OF them swung silent
ly to admit men who trod the carpeted
floor. Just as noiselessly and sudden
ly Senators appeared in their seats
giving the chamber that had seemed 80 de-
serted a sudden burst OF life and appearance
of brisk activity. Faulkner. German. Cockrell.
Vest. Lindsay. Blackburn. Dubois. Murphy.
and a dozen others suddenly appeared In their
places. Senator Dolph was among them. and
he 80 quickly grasped the situation that
before the Clerk had finished read-
ing the indecorous language Of Sena-
tor Palmer he called for the reading
of the language used by Senator Allen.
who presumed to charge part OF the august
body with wearing the brass collars Of the Ad-
ministration livery. Perhaps Mr.. Dolph was
30 quick and keen In obedience to the whis-
pers Of Senator German, who sat rear him and
uttered suggestions under his breath. Mr..
Dolphs motion showed that the repealers were
in mood to retaliate upon the silverites.
When Mr.. Aliens Incorporate language had
been repeated Senator Cullom arose-a ruddy.
faced. thin. long man. who does not object to
being reminded that he looks like Abraham
Lincoln. He is anxious to pose as q leader Of
the Republican repealers. He poured oil on
the dancing waters and extricated Mr.. Palmer
adroitly by this wagelsh remark:
Il don't think" said he. that either OF the
Senators know what correct parliamentary
language would be In stch a case. and though
both were technically unparliamentary. I
move the matter be laid aside"
He did not know that 1t was funny to say
that II two men wanted to revile one another
there was such a thing as doing 1t In parlia.
mentary manner. beyond the jurisdiction Of
Senate rules.
Mr.. PETER sat by with cleaning eyes, de-
lighted by tho obstruction and delay that went
on without any strain on his lung power.
Senator Teller. who can tumble up q speech
as a sausage machine hashes UP meat arose
to say that there had been other such charges
as Mr.. Palmer had made.
When the session was ten days old the press
charged Instructions. Hardly had the session
opened when the repealers charged the same
thing. Not In thirty years. not since the exc
element OF tho war. had there been a ses.
sion In which the rules were so disregarded.
The other night he heard the most insulting
and degrading language from the other
side OF the chamber. He did not pro-
serve the people OF the United States. and
hereafter when any man impugned his
motives he would take pains to bring
him to book. Yet he added that II this matter
were dropped he certainly should not object.
Then Mr.. Culom poured on more OF his patent
oil. saying that the spirit OF the Senators was
remarkably friendly.
Mr.. Teller then said that II he had interrupt
ed some speeches he had hoard By saying
% - At IL,
marks. such an imaginary offence would not
be 80 serious as the lang uage used by the Ben
ator from Illinois. and he submitted that these
things did not become the Senate.
Senator Kyle O handsome. clean cut young
man. very like Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan OF New
York. said that Senator Palmers offence was
in specifying the speech Of Senator Allen.
well" said Senator Palmer; from the other
side OF tho chamber. don't you think you
pushed It too far2
"Yea." said Senator Kyle. II don't know but
what did"
PEPFER STARTS AGAIN.
That ended the episode. The Senators bs.
gan to drift out and Senator PETER began his
speech again.
The moral OF 1t was that Senator Of the
United States had characterized the silver
filibustering as analogous to rebellion.
Shortly afterward the flibusters attempted
to adjourn the Senate. but were opposed by the
repealsrs. who. under the lead OF Mr.. voor-
hees. had arranged for q long session. Aftera
hard fight they managed to prolonR 1t until 10
o'clock. The upshot OF the days work has
been to demonstrate to the Admins.
tration that under the present condi-
tions repeal is hopeless. and that
in order to avert defeat they have
resolved to obtain recess for week In order
that the siverites and oompromisers may bs
converted by home Influences and sent back
TO vote for repeal II they obtain this recess
they will regard it as scoring point.
