people elbowed their way from the
house to the senate and from the SEN

way at angles through the jam.

populace which preferred a lively
scene, while In the senate the specta-
tors were more orderly and fewer Of
the notables were to be seen In the re

admission to the galleries, and not a
few spectators were holding their seats
into the early hours Of Monday morn
