Chance to Explain and
Peace Reigns.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-There was q
scene at the night session of the house
which momentarily recalled the stirring
and exciting days Of the Fifty first con.
gress. An irate member rushed down
the main aisle brandishing his arms
and shouting for recognition, while halt
the Democratic members were on their
feet execrating the occupant of the chair
for what they termed his arbitrary
course and from several places in the
hall came loud hisses Last Friday
night Mr.. Talbert Dem., S. o. blocked
private pension legislation because there
was no quorum present and threatened
to continue to do so at every subsequent
Friday night session unless q quorum
were present. His warning had its ef-
feet. There was an unusually large at
tendance when the house was called to
order. Speaker Henderson himself was
in the chair and the galleries, usually
empty at night sessions, were crowded
In Anticipation of Lively Tine.
Mr.. Talbert made good his threat as
soon as the motion was made to go into
committee Of the whole, but the roll call
showed the presence of score or more
Of members in excess of a quorum. Mr..
Hepburn (Rep., LAY was called to pre-.
side over the committee of the whole
and the clerk read the first bill. Mr..
Talbert rose leisurely while the bill was
being put through the legislative stages,

engrossnent, third reading and final
pass, ge and addressed the chair. He
was completely ignored. A second and
third bill was passed in the same way
with Mr.. Talbert still clamoring fol
recognition. By this time the whole
Democratic side was aroused. A dozen
members were on their feet. Mr.. Tai.
bert, thoroughly angered, started down
the main aisle shouting, "Mr. Chair
man," "Mr. Chairman" as he ap
preached. He reached the area in front
OF the speakers rostrum, all the while
Roaring Out His Denunciation
of the chairman's arbitrary course, be.
fore the chairman COZ descended to rec.
ognize him. Democrats all about were
also shouting their disapproval. The
Republicans seemed to be enjoying the
storm which the chairman's COURSE had
raised. Mr.. Talbert rapidly cooled down
after he had been recognized and ex
planned in a brief speech that the pres
enco of a quorum Lad completely vindi
Gated his position. He had no feeling
against the men who served on tic Fed
eral side in the Civil war, but he was
opposed to loose, reckless, unconstitu
tional methods. He suggested that the
house set aside a day each month fol
pension legislation and discontinue
night sessions.
The committee then proceeded with
the consideration Of pension bills and Sc
were favorably acted upon.

Experiment In Profit Sharing.
The Milwaukee Gas Light company
has pu: into opera ton plan Of profit
sharing which other employing corpo-
rations might wisely take under con
sideration. The company announces
that 1t will pay to each person who has
been in it's service a year. In addition
to his regular wages, sum equal to q
per cent Of the wages received during
the last six months. Hereafter the
company intends regularly to give to

dividend amounting to the sa III" per-
centage Of his wages rs the diva nd
annually declared by the company as
q percentage Of It's stock. If the COM
pany pays q per cent dividends on Its
stock. each person in its employ Will
receive as q bonus 6 per cent on the
wages received. Il workman earning

1t is probable that the employing cor

not be losers by the adoption Of such
, plan. One Of the problems Of the Ia rye
corporation. as compared with the old
! style individual eulri".cr. is to interest

business. The form OF profit sharing
adopted by the milwaukee, Gas Light
company Is well calculated to accom-
plish the purpose IN view. As the per-
ccntage Of profits given to the workers
will depend on the rate Of dividends
paid on stock. every one Of them nntu.

fact the understanding just reported
between England and Italy as to divi
sion Of territory which Emperor Men

much in the facts of the situation to
make it highly probable. England
