SENATE.
The new Columbian postage stamp was
vigorously attack ed in the senate today by
Mr.. Wolcott, OF Colorado, who called up
his joint resolution directing the discon-
tinuance OF these stamps. In a brief, but
decidedly breezy speech, Mr.. Wolcott ridi..
culed the postmaster-general's mercantile
idea that large profit might be made
from their sale to stamp collec: ors
suit some Central American state that was
a 'few thousand dollars shy" He was un-
willing to have unloaded on stamp collec-
lectors "a cruel and unusual stamp" and
rather approved ofa physican's idea that
it might be used as 'chest protector"
Senators enjoyed the speech. and the joint
resolution would have been passed instant
ly had not the chairman of the postoffice
committee (Mr. Sawyer, Rep, Wis., inter
posed an objection, which sent it to that
committee
HOUSE.
The feature ofthe session of the house
today was the cons deration of the national
quarantine bill. 1t was ushered in by an
eloquent speech from Congressman Ray
nor, ofMaryland, who depicted the danger
which was imminent to the people of this
country from unrestricted immigration and
who urged upon the house the necessity of
agreeing to some national law which would
protect the United States from an invasion
o. its most deadly enemy---cholera.
There were a few constitutional objections
raised against the measure, but outside of
Mr.. Raynor's speech, and 3 few remarks
made by Mr.. Cochran and Mr.. Lodge,
there was little interest manifested in the
bill, which comes up again Monday morn
ing

MONDAY. JAN. 23.

Mr.. Chandler Rep) diverted the senate
today by arraigning two Republican sena-
tors (Messrs. Hoar, of Massachusetts,, and
Platt, of Connecticut) for putting forward
against The anti-option bill a constitutional
argument that would be equally strong in
its application to the tariff law. He warm
ed them that they would be called upon to
defend the tariff law in the next congress if
the Democrats were true to their platform
on which the presidential ticket had been
elected; and he intimated that their conten-
ton that taxes could only be imposed for
the purpose of revenue. not for the purposes
OF destruction, would be fatal to high pro-
tective system. At the conclusion of Mr..
Chambers speech the anti-option bill went
over without action, an agreement having
previously been reached that the vote on
that bill shall be taken on Tuesday of next
week.
HOUSE.
There have been many stormy and con-
fused sessions of the house, but they have
generally been held when a matter of
political or personal interests has been at
stake. Rarely has more boisterous meet
ing been held overa non partisan and nom
personal measure tfian thai hich occurred
today. Members were al ross purposes
oyer the quarantine bill. most earnest
supporters believed that il did not go far
enough, and while they aquiesced in some
of the amendments made by the New York
members. they did so under protest and in
the belief that if they did otherwise the
measure would meet a lingering death
through filibustering. After many parlia-
mentary wrangles the bill was finally
passed

THURSDAY, JAN. 26.

There were not many senators in the
chambers today during the debate on the
anti-option bill; but those who were pres
ent witnessed the remarkable circum-
stances of the states rights Democrat,
Mills, of Texas, having his argument
against the constitutionality of the bill sus-
tanned by the stalwart Republican, His
cock, of New York. . -.
Mr.. Mills declared his belief that the sem
timent in favor of local self government
prevailed from New England to the Pacific
ocean; and Mr.. Hiscock asserted that there
had been rarely presented to congress
measure in which less regard had been
paid than was paid in the pending meas.
ure, either to the proprieties oflegislation
or constitutional restrictions.
An effort to pass bill creating a COM
mission of alcohol liquor traffic gave Mr..

powers of congress to advance some special
hobby, to which they are devoting their

In the house today the sundry civil bin

ERNATEr

Neither the ant-option bill nor the Cher

in the senate had any show of consideration
today. Tie hour OF the session was taken
up in routine matters---none of them en-
titled to be re.ular---as of much public in.
tercst. The only exceptions were the intro
duction OF the bill Tor the admission of
Utah as state and an amendment reported
from the committee on naval affairs and re-
ferred TO the committee on appropriations
looking to further increase of the navy.
The rest of the days session, from o'clock
up to the adjournment passed behind
closed doors and was devoted to the ques-
ton of whether the nomination of Mr. Nc.
Comas as one Of the judges OF the supreme
court of the District OF Columbia should be
or not be confirmed.
HOUSE.
Filipustering against the bankruptcy bill
was inaugpra: ed today by Mr.. Kiigore. In
The first place he insisted on the reading of
the journal in full. Then he objected to
the approval of that d cument, and an
hour was consumed before it was finally
agreed to as portion ofthe records of the
house. He was ably seconded in his en-
deavor to defeat the bankruptcy bill by
Mr.. Pierce, of Tennessee, who supp en,ent-
ed his every filibustering motion with
another which was calculated to prevent
action, and the filibustering cansinued.

The senate today paid an additional
mark of respect TO the memory of Gen.

MRS. boyd ON THE Stand
Her Testimony Is Given Clearly and
UnheSitatingly
HIS BLACKMAILING SCHEMES
The Dead Mans Letters to the Defend
ant Prove One of the Greatest
of Sensations
HIS BLACKMAILING SCHEMES

SEATTLE, June.:22-Today, the fourth
in the trial in Judge Humes' court of
Ursuhla Juanita Unfug Boyd, for the
murder of Thomas Henderson Boyd
last December, was red letter day for
the defense, and was occupied la an
effort to prove the woman willing
tool of the dead man, whose character
was assailed on all sides. Five wit
nesses for the defense testified to Boyds
cruel treatment of the woman at two
different houses in Seattle; also to his
attempted blackmailing schemes. The
sensation Of the day was reached, how
ever, when the defendant took the
stand in her own behalf. The calling
Of her name created great commotion
i'm the crowd that filed every foot of
floor space in the court room, and
everybody craned his or her neck over
everybody's else shoulders in order to
get better view Of the defendant and
note her every look and action. She
stood the ordeal without a tremor; took
the witness stand quietly, and what
ever emotion she may have felt, she
had sufficiently schooled her nerves to
appear outwardly calm and thoroughly
seif-possessed. Her testimony was
given ia a clear voice and in AN un-
hesitating manner that went far to-
ward impresslng the jury in her favor.
Only on one or two occasions did she
u.ra.r E
was during the reading Of many letters
written by Boyd, ana particularly at
the reading Of passage where Boyd
asks her to say her prayers regularly
and read verse from the Bible every
day. The reading of these letters was
continued all the afternoon, many of
them being too pronounced in language
for publication. These letters Will in
themselves prove one of the greatest
sensations OF the day throughout the
state.
