A flow bills of To- cal interest were passed by unanimous consent The only thing of general i'm portance was the adoption of n resolution directing tho secretary of the navy to re- move some of the alleged defective armor plates from vessels and subject them to tho ballistic test at the Indian Hoad prov ing ground. Mir. Crmmings, the chair man of the committee, declared that n point in tho tigation had been reach . cd where this action was necessary.
 Without even waiting for tho reading of the journal, tho absence of n quorum of senators was pointed out, and the sen. ate got tied mp into a hard knot. which 1t was impossible to uatio. Absolutely no business was done beyond receiving the re- port of tho sergeant at arms and then making hIs order moro stringent by di- recting him to compe attendance of tho abscntees. After dT fting aimlessIy on the stagnant pond of inactivity she sena- tors who were present. got tired of wait ing for their absrnt colleagues and al- juurned.
