The lie was passed, 1t was in the House on Wednesday, and while no unseemly ols- order, such as disgraced the House, fol-. lowed, the sensation it caused was quite as profound. Jones proposed that the Senate adjourn until tomorrow at 10 o'clock and that tomorrow White of California Caffery of Louisiana and Vel linEton of Maryland, who are opposed to any action by Congress, and whose view of the question had not yet been pre- sented be allowed four hours, other Sem ators to be confined to fifteen minutes each, with the exception of Platt of Con- necticut, who should be given half an hour.

 This caused a suppressed ripple of laughter, after which Iuoney yielded to the solicitations of those about him, and said he would not object. All looked se- rene, when Chandler of New Hampshire, who is given to rather yitriolic jests on occasions, dropped a remark that caused an explosion such as the dignified Senate has never witnessed In many years
