IN THE HOUSE.
Two Union Soldiers, sickles and Cum
mtnEs, Resist the Confederstes

WASHINGTON CRY. Feb. 22-The Wash
ington birthday session of the house had
dramatic incidents. which may possibly
culminate with legal proceedings against
the sergeant-at-arms for false imprison-
ment of members of congress. Sergeant
alarms Snow. acting by virtue of q gen.
eral warrant of arrest issued last Monday.
has been spprehending members wherever
found. The warrant contains the names
of fifty-six congressman. Snow began last
night to arrest congressman on the hoor
of the house on warrants charging them
with absenting themselves Monday. This
was in accordance with the colloquy be-
tween Speaker Crisp and the sergeant-at-
arms.
During the session yesterday Snow
asked If he was expected to arrest mem.
bers on the floor. Crisp answered that the
sergeant-st-arms was expected to execute
his orders" This was accepted as mean
ing that arrests on the floor should be
made. and Snow at once began to carry
this idea into effect. He arrested seven
congressman as they sat IN their seats.
Deputy Hill made as many more arrests.
In each case the membeg was tapped on
the shoulder and told he was released on
parole TO report when required.
This morning arrests began again and
continued until interrupted by stirring
scene Cumming. came down the middle
aisle Of the house just as the session Was
about to open. Deputy Hill stepped up
to him and notified him tha. by virtue of
the warrant he had Cummings would be
placed under arrest and his parole taken.
The congressman flushed and took the
matter seriously. He stepped back and in
bitter language denounced the effort 10 ar
rest him. He refused to recognize the
validity of the warrant. ~ give you fair
warning" said Cummings. that IL you
touch NE you act AZ your peril" For a
moment il looked as though there would
be serious trouble, as Cummings plainly
iuiimAied that he intended to resent the
slightes; touch indicating arrest by force
The deputy quickly withdrew. however, as
the orders of the sergeant-at-arms are to
avoid indignities to congressman In every
way possible,
The members spprehendei threaten to
secure redress. and talk Of legal proceed
iugs for false imprisonment. Sergeant-at-
Arms Snow says: The greatest care has
been taken 10 avoid giving ofense 10
members; nay orders 10 the deputies are
30 proceed wIth the greatest caution and
Difference. We do no; arrest members as
though they were iramps or common
drunks. They are merely notiflsi that
their names are on thu warrant. aad then
the member is touched 10 make the service
effective"
Great confusion arose over Sickles' de-
mand TO De heard on question OF privi-
lese. As as Ssy out OF the difficulty it vas
decided to hear the report Of the sergeant
alarms. giving list of those arrested, as

Rhode Islands instruction of it's common

Rhode Islands instruction OF its common
people, dates back half a century. He was
the first commissioner of schools ever
appointed in The country. When he
arose last night in response To the call OF
the toastmaster the enthusiastic ovation
of hahd- -clapping and the waving of hand
kerchiefs, attested the esteem Of the
teachers of This generation for the man they
have appropriately honored with the
title "Nestor OF Public Instruction. Hon.
Mr.. Barnard did not make a set speech;
he did what was much more enjoyable,
and talked with his friends about his
work and their work. lie said a great
many interesting things and good many
witty anecdotes were laughed over before
the veteran scnoolman sat down.
Hon. Amos Perry, who was associated
with Mr.. Barnard in the earlier days of
the work, and who was at one time the
principal OF the Summer street school,
told OF the difficulty encountered before
the general pu bic could be convinced that
it was for the best interests of all that the
children sh ould be Z, ucated.
William A.Mowry, Phi. d., of Hyde Park,
presented an interesting historical paper.
Hon. Thomas w. Bicknell, LII. d., read
a very humorous poem on the old time
district school and the trials OF the teach
ers thereof, and Professor Alonzo VIII
Iiams, in the absence of President An
drews, represented Brown University in
the speechmaking.
Good instrumental and vocal music was
provided during the evening by the
Talma Orchestra and the special teachers
of music in the Providence schools, and
before adjournment the company sang
"Auld Lang Sype."

banquet was due TO the following COM

MEETING ENDED.
Closing Exercises at the Rhode Is.
land Institute of instruction.

The closing session OF the 50th annual
meeting of the Rhode Island Institute of
instruction was begun this morning.
The singing was by pupils of the State
Normal School. A ninth grade class from
the Peace street school gave fine Indian
club drill.
Miss Eva ID. Kelog of Boston gave a
very interesting lecture entitled A Pro-
Sac thought that teachers take a course
OF study too slavishly, following every
thing literally aud neglecting to ''read be-
tween the lines"
"Great danger besets Nature study. The
pulling of rose to pieces to get at its
petals, instead of seeking its fragrance,
should be avoided. The old
per cent. system is absurd and the uni
formity in schools is ridiculous. The
American rush al bout everything is another
drawback. The cure comes from fuller
course Of study; tho idea of study
is TO look through, not at timing.
Teachers must be selected Tor what they
are, not from political reasons, and the
Normal schools should be weeded out
pretty often"
Superintendent Gilman {. Fisher of
Pawtucket gave the closing address on
"rhe Professional Association OF Teach
ers." He said that worry, not work, uses
US all up, Supervision must not be of the
old, narrow and exactiug kind, and
grammar school superintendents of the
future must be general specialists"
Reports OF committees closed tic con-
vention and a long list OF resolutions
were adopted.
