By the United Press.

todayS session in the senate was ac-
companied by a rather stormy scene
between two members of the body. An
objection was made by Mr.. Harris,
Tennessee, to a request of Mr. Mitchell.
Oregon, to be allowed to address, the
senate on report which he proposed to
make. The objection appeared to net
tie Mr.. Mitchell, who remarked angrily
that objection was very unusual. VERY
we'll, Mr.. Harris retorted, "unusua! as
1t is, emphasize it."
Then | withdraw the report" said
Mr.. Mitchell. Il will not submit it at
this time
Then withdraw it, said Mr. Harris,
resentfully.
ut is unusual" Mr.. Mitchell persist
ed in still more angry manner.
Il am capable" Mr. Harris said
tauntingly, "of doing unusual things"
Mr.. Mitchell appeared to be boiling
over with rage and excitement as he
exclaimed: 81 appreciate that the
senator from Tennessee is capable of
doing unusual, and indiscreet, and un-
gentemanly things"
Your conduct" Mr.. Harris declared,
"is contemplate"
Let the senator do as he pleases
about that" Mr.. Mitchell added def
antly.
The vice-president called the sena-
tors to order, but Mr.. Mitchell contin-
ued to express his indignation to sena-
tors who came around him, and to eX-
plain that his purpose had been to
present a report in favor of the bounty
sugar claims.
At one point the financial questions
broke out in the shape of an amend
ment offered by Mr.. McLaurin, Missis-
sippi, looking to the coinage of the sill
Yer bullion in the treasury to the
amount of the seigniorage 1855, 1000, ,O0O),
but the amendment to which it was
offered was declared, by vote of the
senate to be out of order and Mr.. Nc
Laurins amendment fell with it.
After the district appropriation bill
was passed the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was taken up-not,
however, displacing the bankruptcy
bill as the unfinished business.
Mr.. Reeds Substitute.
