ment Of the extraordinary session of the

ell. been present TO take the oath of Office.
He could not reach Washington until to-
morrow, however. and adjournment was
postponed until that time.
No business of importance was trans
acted in open session.
After routine business had been dis
posed of, Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts
moved that the Senate proceed to the
consideration of executive business. The
motion prevailed unanimously on a de-
mand for cali made by MIR. Hoar whose
particular reason was that the name of
Mr. Allen of Nebraska, should be includ-
ed thus officially in the roll of senators.
Some question was raised as to the right
of Mr.. Alien to draw his pay in the new
Congress under his appointment by the
Governor of Nebraska.
The calling of his name settled his stat
US as senator, though he was absent
from the chamber at the time.
AT los p. m. the Senate resumed leg
islative business. Mr.. Hoar offered a
resolution to appoint "a committee of two
senators to notify the President that the
Senate was ready to adjourn without day
Mr.. Morgan objected, explaining that as
Mr.. Mitchell would be here tomorrow, it
was due him that the Senate remain in
session that he might take the oath of
Office before final adjournment.
The resolution went over until to-mor-
row.
At lilo p. m. the Senate adjourned.

on his arrival in Paris, en- route for
London he suddenly developed a mania
for swindling. He called on the proprietor
Of the Hotel Bristol in Paris and notified
him that he was the avant courier of the
Khedive of Egypt, who would arrive the
next day. He arranged a banquet, and
suggested that as the next day would be
the Khedive's birthday, it was desirable
to secure a quantity of jewelry to be pre-

Mr.. HARRISON's CONDITION.
Ex-President n Very III Man, but His
Physician Says There is No
Cause for Alarm,

Indianapolis, Ind, March Sex Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison is a very sick
man and his closest friends are alarmed.
His condition is more serious than Is
generally believed. However, DR.. Henry
Jameson, the family physician, said to-
night there was no immediate danger; in
fact he was not at all alarmed, he said,
as to the outcome.
Asked if the age of Gen. Harrison would
not weigh very much against his recovery
the doctor said such would naturally be
the case. to certain extent.
Gen. Harrison is troubled with a COM
plication of grip and intercostal neural
gia, and there is some fear that this will
develop into pneumonia. The disease in
itself is not necessarily OF an alarming
character, but when the age of Gen. Har-
rison is taken into consideration, with the
diminution of his recuperative powers, his
present illness is being viewed with much
anxiety.
Mr.. Harrison suffered much pain yes
terday. The large muscles of the chest
are much affected, and the patient was
confined to his bed The most favorable
symptom yesterday was the absence Ct
fever, and still another circumstance in
favor of the General is that his sleep as
yet has not been impaired.

her home and just reached her own gate
