Shortly after the Senate convened. at
s O'Clock last night, Mr.. Stubs rose,
and said that he had noticed n protest
from the Ladies' Hollywood Memorial AS

without making provision for the veterans
at the Soldiers Home. II was, he said,
a very strong paper. and was signed
and Virginia. He, therefore, offered a
joint resolution. providing for an appro-
priation of 5000 to the home. in addition
to the annual appropriation of $4,000.
Mr.. Mushbach wanted to know Wnere
the bill was that he had introduced TO
appropriate $4,000 for the Home.
Mr.. Wickham replied that 1t had died
In the Finance Committee as that COM
mttee did not think there was any sena,
tor who, in GOOD faith. could think OF
making such an appropriation in the de-
pleted condition of the Treasury.
The Chair held that ii required twenty,
seven votes TO take up the resolution OF
Mr. Stubs. under the rules. The Senate
il. '''O " ~
Mr. Clayton offered a resolution Brovid-
ing that the appropriation for the Uni
yersity of Virginia be reduced N,Wl
and the same turned over to the Sol
diers' Home. This resolution was OBJECT
ed to, and not considered.
Mr. Jones called up the joint resolution
In regard to extending the session OF
offered as a substitute a resolution eX-
tending the session until March 9th. ct u
o'clock noon. He said the senate had
wasted considerable time over bills OF
no great importance to the public, but
fooling with relief bills for Tom. Jones OF
Bill Brown or the like. There was mol
a man, he said. who ought not TO DC
ashamed TO go back 20 his constituents
After further discussion. In which MT
Mushbach took occasion to criticise The
newspapers. and Mr. Stubs favored TAX
ing the time needed for important legisla,
ton the House resolution, providing thai
no aipn nf three DAYS blll
that no business be transacted after MID
night, was concurred in.
THE SOLDIERS HOME.
After the election bill, reported else

During the taking Of the votes on these
two measures the chamber presented 9
scene of great confusion, senators crowd
ing around the space in front Of IN,
Chair. and Mr.. Withers made the poin'
OF order that the rules had been rcpeat
eddy violated by members I'm not RISING
from their seats in addressing the Chair
that they did not rise from any seat a.
all but remained upon their feet.
Mr.. Hay explained that he had beer

no place 10 sit.
ALMOST a DIFFICULTY.
FIR. Hay said this In a peasant, toculai
way. and II created ripple of laughter
Joke except Mr.. Mushbach. whose wife
was seated by the lady who occupied
Mr.. Hays seat. The Senator from Aleyan
drla at once rose. and said in manner
calculated 10 show Mr. Hay that he re
garded his action with disfavor: 'Th'
lady who has your seat will be glad tC
return IL TO you at once"
Mr.. Hay fired up. and replied: IF III,
any reflection upon the lady who occupie:
my seat. then he does not know me
nor does he know what to expect from
gentleman"
Hay rejoined. with, THE Senator from
Alexandria does not know what he Is talk
ing about"
Neither does the Senator from Madison
know what he is talking about" said MIR
