CLOAK ROOM AND GALLERY.

Did anybody send for Senator Jones, OF
Nevada, or did the accounts in the public
press move him to come on? The questions
were excited yesterday when that gentleman
made his appearance upon the floor Of the
Senate. After exchanging greetings with a
few of his colleagues. he retired to the cloak
room with Senator Stewart, and there had
quite an extended conference.
Il was rumored about the lobbies i'll the
afternoon that the arrival of Senator Jones
would be the signal for another meeting of
the Finance Committee, of which he is a
member. in order to again consider the diff
ferent financial measures that were before 1t
the other day. These rumors, however, could
not be reduced to fact, and it is more than
probable that nothing tangible will be done
until next wesk, when the House bill shall
have reached the Finance Committee.
While some of the members of the House
Committee on the District of Columbia were
waiting TO obtain a quorum an informal dis
cussion arose as 10 the propriety OF authoriz-

"Oh, there are plenty of long-haired
women, . came from the Nesterner, land they
can do great deal of good in just such po-
sitions. shall be glad to vote TO put them
there"
But the southron shook his head and was
not convinced

wos found PROSTATE upon the sidewalk from
an attack Of vertigo, and was taken to po-
lice station. No one knew him. 1t was Mr..

sentative Richardson, whose seat is con-
tested. Mr.. Turner was on his way south,

The prediction was freely made in the
House lobbies yesterday that the Reilly bill
/ for funding the Pacific Railroad Indebtedness
would be defeated when brought to a vote
/ tomorrow. The powerful lobby which has

measure was said TO be extraordinarily
active. Ugly stories were afloat as 10 large
amounts OF money being offered or ready to
1 be offered for votes.
Il know nothing about that sort Of thing. -
