absolutely put when MT word the chair
said in announcing it could have been

They caught his lips forming the last word
of the statement, and came in strong with
their ayes and noes and Halev was firmly
landed beyond the reach of Kreling aud
Ach.

on the street without. Some called upon

iudly insisted that he sit down. Ach

| would on the stage. but the cries were
| multiplied and the chair insisted on his
| complying. He finally came M, amid re-
newad hissings, and told the chair that he
didn't desire to make speech, only mo-
ton, and he was allowed 10 return 10 his
delegation.

Ach fell GREATNESS and pale to his chair,
! utterly oDlivious to the howlngs of the
bedlamilps around him. Haley had been
