To return to Il coincidence in recov-

contemporary budget by story that
is quite as remarkable as any which
have hitherto appeared in its columns.

recollection, happened absolutely rs we

visiting an old silver shop in st. Peters

again. The coincidence was cur ouS,
but when one has soberly reckOned up
the chances against its occurrence it
will be found not a very unlikely one
after all. And yet there are people, We

UPROARIN THE HOUSE
CONGRESSM BRECKENRIDGE
AND HEARD QUARREL.
kcntuCkian Is Called n Wharf.-The
RctOrts with "Inpertincnt Puppy"
end n Vigorous Right


A scene of the widest and most intense
excitement occurred in the National House
az the conclusion of the debate on Mr..
Hits Hawaiian resolution Friday. grow
ing out of personal difficulty between
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, and Mr..
Heard, or Missouri, in which epithets like
''ilnpertinent puppy" coward" ''sconn-
drcl," liar" were banded. One blow
was struck. when friends interposed and
the sergeant-at-arms arrested the two Of
tenders and brought them to the bar Of
the House, where Mr.. Breckinridgc. in
the course of an explanation, practically
challenged Mr. Heard and demanded per-
sonal satisfaction.
As well as the tangle of confused events
can be unraveled the encounter occurred
in this way: Mr.. Heard, who was in
charge of the District of Columbia bill,
cut off Mr.. Breckenridge, who was at
tempting to address the House on the
Hawaiian resolution. by demanding the
previous question on the adoption of the
resolution. Mr.. Breckenridge Immediate
" moved around from the side aisle in
which he was standing to the tier of seats
where Mr.. Heard stood. and hot wor'ls
followed. Mr.. Breckenridge protested
against what he called Mr.. Heards rude
ness. The latter declared he was only
doing his duty. AS the voices of the gen
tlemen rose members rushed thither.
Called Puppy and "Liar."
''Impertinent puppy" shouted Mr..
Brcckinridgc. Liar Missed back Mr..
Heard.
At the word the white-haired Breckin-
ridge who is Il heavily built stOcky man.
put his foot on the step on which the
benches are located and let drive right
hand blow at Mr.. Heard. Mr.. Heard,
who is slight and apparently not strong,
lodged. In an instant q dozen hands
were extended to restrain the kentucK-
ian, and the tide of members swept him

twenty feet up the main aisle But he
continued to struggle and wrestlc with
his captors, Messrs. Pence and Outh-
waite
The House and galleries were in an up
roar. Bcdlam had broken loose. Over
il all the cracks of the Speakers gavel
sounded as he attempted to qucll the riot
on the floor. In a firm tone the Speaker
directed the sergeant-at-arms to arrest
the offenders. Col. Isaac Hill. the deputy,
and his assistant. Mr. Robinson. grabbed
the silver mace. the emblem of the Houses
authority, and rushed UP the aisle. j.
VAS crowded with members. When they
had elbowed their way to the scene of
the combat Mr. Breckinridge was still
struggling with those who held him.
His antagonist. Mr.. Heard. stood calmly
in his place Col. Hill and his assistant
seized Mr.. Breckinridge, and Mr.. Heard
was pushed into the arms of the deputy
scrgeant-at-arms. AS the two men came
together Mr.. breckenridge made des-
perate effort to free himself.
Brcckinridgo Has Blood in His Eye
"You are q coward and scoundreli'
he yelled at Mr. Heard. but the stalwart
Robinson roughly pulled Mr.. Breckin-
ridge forward, and the two representa-
tives of the American Congress were hus-
tied, rather than escorted, to the bar Of
the House. The Speaker ordered all to
take their seats. Many of the members
did SCI reluctantly.
Take il back shouted Mr. Breckin-
ridge, as he glarcd at Mr.. Heard who
stood. like himself, in custody before the
bar you called me an impertinent pup
ry." answered Mr.. Heard
Meantime the Speaker was trying to
drive the excited and frantic members
back to their seats. Mr.. Breckenridge
was appealing for recognition, but the
Speaker would not hear him. After MI
the members were seated he ordered both
Mr.. Heard and Mr.. Breckenridge back TO
their seats, and then recognized the Ken
tuckian. With his frame trembling with
excitement. his silver hair tumbling back
from his forehead, Mr.. Breckenridge rose
Attempting to contain himself he began
his apology in humble tones.
Those who were near the two members
when the encounter occurred, says a
Washington correspondent. are unani-
nous in stating that Breckinridge's MAN.
ner was rude and provoking and that he
referred to Mr.. Heard as an insolent
something or other. the term used being
generally understood as "scoundrel" Mr..
Heard's retort was what might be ex-
pected in answer to an epithet from q
man Of Breckinridge's reputation. and it
was no surprise that no should call the
Kentuckian liar.
The sympathy Of tho House and gal
leries were largely with Mr. Heard. The
latter is a very mild-mannered man and
has never been known to conduct himself
I'm an ungentlemanly or unparlamentary
manner OH the floor of tho House.
Breckenridge is usually very suave and
oily in his address and his outbreak To-
day was somewhat cf surprise. He has,
ut least, brought into the House of Rep
resentatives the manners of himself, son.
and some Of his counsel in the celebrated
damage suit.

Swallows Never Fly nv NIGHT.

AS far as is known. swallows migra-
tory flights are always carried on by
day. The fact that, though warblers
and other migrants are constantly
found dead around lighthouses having
dashed themselves against the Win
dows OF the lanterns, swallows have
never been known to meet their fate in
this way, furnishes strong prcSumptive
evidence OF this popularity of the swal-
low tribe.
