Many eccentricities are pardoned in
musical geniuses, especially by those
who do not suffer from them. Unfortu-

why he has offended.

One day Rameau while calling on

him ont of the window.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 16.-A remarka-

of Carlo Thieman. the lion tanner, who
was mortally wounded by lions in the
areana OF Boon's wild animal show q

Oh they were from time to time inter-
rupted by fierce roars from the beasts
in their cages hard by.
These suggestive and uncanny sounds
were supplemented by sights as strange
in the throng drawn to the scene. There
were natives from every corner of the
globe grouped together on the raised
seats of the surrounded arena. There
were Hawaiians, Eskimos, Yaquis,
Sioux, Turks and Arabs in their na-
tional coatomes. The Iowa State band
played the same melody as at the
funeral OF the victims of the cold storage
warehouse in Chicago. The Hawaiians
sang dirge in their native tongue and
the procession formed which proceeded
to the Odd Fellows cemetery where the
llon-tamer was laid In his grave.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Bland today
began his coercive tactics to compel a
vote on the silver seignorage bill. The
bulk of the Republicans and the Demo-
cratic opponents of the measure in
augurated flibuster with the inten-
ton of forcing him to produce quorum
of advocates of the bill to pass it, and
the entire day was consumed in roll
calls. The highest mum ber Bland was
able to poll was 1853 in favor OF a de-
mand for the previous question on his
motion to close the debate Of these
145 were Democrats, nine Populists and
nine Republicans.
Pace of Rhode Island and Ryan of
New York refused to join the filibuster,
but voted against the motion. The Re-
publicans who voted with Bland were
Bowers of California, Broderick, Doolit-
tie, Funston, Marsh. Hermann, Post
and Sweet. At 4 O'Clock Bland aban-
doned further attempt to secure a
quorum and after passing resolution
instructing the sergeant-at-arms to tele-
greph for the absentees recess was
taken until 8 O'Clock. The evening
session was devoted to the consideration
of private pension bills. Bland ex-
presses an opinion that he will have a
quorum present tomorrow but the
general impression is that he will not
be able to secure a quorum until Mon

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The senate
adjourned few minutes past O'Clock
after spending the better part Of two
days considering the nomination of W.
H. Peckham of New York to be asso-
ciate of the supreme court. A vote had
just been taken on the motion to con-
firm his nomination and the result,
which was his rejection by vote of 90
to Al, was known.
The proceedings OF the executive ses-
sion prior to taking the vote, consisted
entirely Of speech making. Villas, Nit
chell of Oregon, George and Gray
speaking for the confirmation and
White of California, and Hawley,
against it. All addresses except those
of Villas and George were very brief and
consisted mainly of explanations of the
votes Of the speakers. Villas spoke two
hours, devoting himself to defense of
the character of Peckham and the pres
ident's right to appoint in a case like
that of a justice of the supreme court
without consulting the senators from
whose state the nominee Is chosen.
White of California, said the selection
of supreme court judge was matter
which greatly interested the people of
California. There was now pending in
the courts suit involving the owner
ship of the water front of valuable
property In that state estimated to be
worth $20.O00,000. This suit would
eventually reach the supreme court
and be determinated by that tribunal.
He had observed that some friends of
the nominee in the present instance
were men interested in the result of
these suits and while this might be a
mere coincidence it was sufficient to de-
eide him against the nominee.
THERE'S heard speculation as to what
will be the presidents course in view Of
the rejection of his second nominee for
the associate justiceship. No one whose
opinion is of value will venture. sur
mise or suggest name. The supreme
court is now in recess and will be until
the 9th of March, so that the necessity
for full bench will not be urgent until
that time.
