WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.--No business
was transacted during the short session
of the senate today. Attention was
called to the absence OF q quorum within
five minutes after the vice-pIesident
raped for order, and from that time
until the senate went into executive sos
sion. that body was in state OF sus-
pended animation. The last Of the ap'
preparation bills, the general deficiency,
was signed by the vice-president today
and now only awaits the presidents
signature to become law.
BARE QUORUM.
The following senators were present
when the senate met: Aldrich, Allison,
Bate. Berry, Blackburn, Blanchard,
Oockrell, Coke, Oullom, Faulkner, Gal
linger, George, Gibson, German, Cor
don, Gray, Harris. Hill, Jarvis, Jones
(Ark.), Kyle, Lindsay, McLauren. Man.
derson, Martin, Mitchell (Ore.), Mitch
ell (Wis.), Palmer. Pasco, Pettigrew,
Pugh, PETER, Ransom. Roach, Shoup,
Turpie, Vest, Vilas, Walsh and White.
Total, 4O-Democrnts, 30; Republicans,
8; Populists. 2.
This made the senate three short Of
quorum, but there WAS in reality only
one lees, as Jones of Nevada and Quay
OF Pennsylvania were present and failed
to answer to their names.
At 10 p. IN. Ceffery Of Louisiana ap-
peared, when Jones and Quay also asked
to be recorded. A quorum was thus OBJ
tanned and Immediately afterwards the
senate went into executive session, and
~ 40 p. m. adjourned.
FlLIBUsTERINa TACTICS.
Before teegraphing for absentees to-
day the Democratic leaders made an
especial appeal to the Republicans to
permit the bill to correct the errors with
reference to alcohol to go through with
out objection in the absence OF quo.
rum. 1t appears, however, that when
Senator Chandler went away he left
behind him a request that the bill
should not be taken up in his absence,
and the Republican senators are guard
ing this request. The Democratic sem
ators now threaten to retaliate by taking
up the supplemental tariff bills and
trying to pass them, in case they sue
ceed in getting a quorum; but they re-

the way Of putting such programme
into effect, and did not at the meeting
today resolve upon any definite action
beyond exerting themselves to the ut
most to secure the attendance of a quo
rum.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT DESIRABLE.
Senator German and Speaker Crisp
had conference today and the matter
of early adjournment was discussed. 1t
is believed by the Demecratio leade RS
that a business quorum cannot be longer
maintained in either house. and that it
would be we'll to have sn early adiour n
ment and that it should come as soon as
the tariff bill is finally settled.
THE HOUSE NOT IN SESSION.
The house was not in session today
and very few members put in an sp-
pearance. Speaker Crisp was in his
private rooms finishing up his work.

Attempted Suicide - Refuses
to Say Why be Did It-Driver
of a Laundry Wagon.

Ivan Norman. formerly driver for
the Lake Street laundry, attempted
suicide last night A few minutes after
10 O'Clock the firemen who were on
duty at No. Engine house. cor
ner Third avenue south and Twelfth
street, heard the sharp information OF a
pistol shot. Several of the boys rushed
out, and, lying prone on his back on the
Sidewalk on the opposite side of the
street OH Third avenue, they found
Norman. a smoking revolver lay by
his side, and there was ragged hole in
his vest above the top POCKET through
which thin stream of blood oozed.
One of the firemen asked the wounded
man, who was still conscious. what the
matter was. and he replied somewhat
laconically, considering the circum-
stances:
'1've shot myself"
The central station patrol wagon was
sent for. and the Would-be suicide
found himself a few minutes later in
the city hospital. The bullet was of S.
caliber and the revolver which fired II
of the cheapest kind. The bullet ell
tered directly over the LETT nipple and
the surgeons at the hospital had great
difficulty IN locating Its passage. There
were no internal hemorrhages, and il is
thought he Will recover without much
difficulty.
During the drive to the hospital Nor
man was fully conscious, and did not
hesitate to give his name. He refused,
however, TO state his reasons for at
tempting the act of suicide. He was
passing up Third avenue at 10 O'clock,
and when he got in front of
Porter's confectionery store, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, be took
out his revolver. 1t was, perhaps. in
order TO see the glisten OF the chez p
nickel plating on the revolver that he
stopped in the full glare of the lights
from the confectionery store 10 shoot
himself. At any rate, he would not
state why he chose so conspicuous a
spot. His aim was good, but the gun
vas bad one, hence the fact of his liy-
ing ar the present time.
Norman had a Swedish Bible in the
pocket OF his overcoat, and he stated he
went 10 church in the morning. At
present he lives with relatives at the
corner of Tenth street and Fifth avenue
south. Formerly he boarded at S11
West Lake street. The police are i'll
clIned to think he was respondent over
some love affair. He is about thirty
years OF age and was well dressed.

and Neal Low.
In the prelude to his sermon last ev-
ening at Calvary Baptist church. Rev.
q. l.. Morrill, referred to the 18th and
10Th of March as birthdays worthy of
passing notice. Among other things he
said:
st. Patrick was not a Romish monk
but Christian missionary. The ancient
church OF Ireland was independent of
Rome, and differed from it in respect TO
Easter. auricular confession and the
celibacy Of the clergy. Patrick's re-
iigion resembled some phases of modern
PrOtestan tism. He. however, tried to
unite church and state, as the church
which claims him always does. Unlike
that church, in matters of faith and
practice he went to the Bible and Christ
for authority. Those who reverence
his name will be better citizens and
Christians when they initiate his ex-
ample IN the truths he taught and the
principles he practiced.
Neal Dow is the Gladstone of home
rule in America. Forty years he has
fought against tie saloons. Today the
best judgment of highest citizenship
Is with him IN declaring the saloon

When at last his ideal shall be realized,
the sorrow. sin, shame and crime which
now abound shall give place TO JOY,
honor, virtue and security. He will
ever be remembered as a Moses
