Remarkable Summary Work Done by thu

Friday morning was given UP to prac-
tice at the guns. all the ships putting
out targets at 800 yards. The gunrers
on the Brooklyn cut the flag from the
toE Of their target within twenty min
utes, remarkable work when Ii is con-
sidered that the target was but eighteen
inches square and the flagstaff but two
inches wide. AT / o'clock the ships
were signalled by Commodore Schley
to head for Hampton Roads for anchor
age, with the exception OF the Texas.
which was ordered to remain out and
try her biz guns and improved turrets
with solid shot. The rest of the squad
ron 5nelored Off For, Monroe at about
o'clock.
Commodore Schley expressed himself
as very much Pleased with the work OF
the captains OF the vessels under
his charge. The manocuvsrs .f
the boats and the work OF the crews at
tie guns were both highly pleasing. He
called particular attention to the randi
ty with which the call to quarters" on
the Erooklyn was responded to. lie
also calico attention to the target prac
tice Of the rapid-fire guns saying: Il
don't thILk any torpedo boat would

torily. and the big guns could be loaded

The senate was electrified. Sena-
tors looked at each other in blank
amazement and the galleries rose en-
massc and leaned over as the two SEN
ators faced each other. Il call the
gentleman to order. If the gentleman
can indulge in that kind of conversa-
tlcn On the floor of the senate" Well
irSton resumed, walking toward his
antagonist, Il can stand it rs Well as he
can" BY this time al was confusion.
The vice president IVES "a, ping for
order and senators had risen to their
feet. But the two senators still called
to each other in defiant tones that rang
out above the din.
Come outside and make it," cried
Money.
Very well then" retorted yelling
ton.
Come now" said Money reckoning.
THE senate will be in order" called
out Vice President Hobart.
Wilson of Washington broke the ten
SIGN at this point by stepping forward
into the center aisle and asking in a
bland voice whether "a declaration of
war would be in order" The senators
and the galleries laughed heartily al
this sally, and meantime friends of the
belltcose senators surrounded them and
led them away into the cloak r1-ins
n few minutes afterwards, subsequent
to the adoption OF tie voting agree
ment, Money emerged from the cloak
room and said: MIR. President, I de-
sire to gay that under strong provoca-
ton I used language which was not
parliamentary. Nothing could be
farther from my intention than TO VIC
late the GeCorum of the senate or to
break any of its rules. 7 therefore de-
sire to apologize to the senate for
language which I should not have used
in its presence"
When the senate adjourned there was
good prospect that the differences be-
tween Money and Wellington would
be amicably arranged Immediately
after the alteration in the senate Car
ter undertook TO adjust the matter. The
trouble was stated by mutual friends to
have been due to a MISUNDERSTANDING
on both sides, on Wollington's part as
to Moneys position and Moneys part
as to Wellington's accusation. Well
.ngton said to other senators that he
HAD not intended to assume personal
responsibility for The Journals state
ments. and was willing TO retract his
remark made in that connection.
