BAILEY. OF TEXAS
Yoses as an { bstructionist,
for no Reason Except
to Make Himself
Conspicuous

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Congress
is showing signs of wear and tear.
This morning after the long and ar
duous sessions of yesterday and last
night the senators and representatives
were slow in getting together. The
hall was almost empty when the speak
er raped his gavel at O'Clock.
They began coming in rapidly. how
ever, the magnet being that members
would have an opportunity to pass
bills by unanimous consent for two
hours, from nine t0 eleven being de-
voted to that purpose.
After bills had been passed with
great rapidity, including the Chinese
exclusion act, an act authorizing the
distributing of medals for Spanish war
heroes, and appointing Thomas L.
Stitz an officer in the navy, Bailey of
Texas arose and objected to action up
on any further bills in this manner
He was appealed to on all sides not
to do this, as it blocked all proceedings,
but he was obdurate and would not
yield.
The speaker was in sympathy with
the members and refused to recognize
him, when Mr.. Bailey brought matters
to complete standstill by making the
point or order that there was no quo
rum.
This fact had to be recognized, and
all business was stopped. A call of the
house was ordered and the sergeant at
arms and his assistants hurried out to
gather members in.
WASHINGTON, March 2-The in
coming crowd to attend the inaugu-
raj ceremonies is already in evidence.
This afternoons trains were loaded
with visitors from affair."
A large crowd of native Porto Ricans
will arrive this evening and will he
quartered at the war department
The indications are that the largest
crowd that ever attended an inaugu-
raj ceremony will be here Monday

GRANT GILLETT HAS GONE To
WORK FOR DIR. FLOWER IN
CHIHUAHUA.

Special to The Herald.
CHIHUAHUA, March 2-Grant G.
Gillett has returned to Chihuahua and
has entered the employ of DIR. r. c.
Flower. He is in hard financial straits,
and Immediately upon returning to this
city proceeded to the Robinson house
and took from his trunk some hand
some silverware and a valuable opera
glass which he pawned later to meet
an obligation.
He says he had intended to go to the
United States. but was offered this po-
sition and concluded to go to Flowers
Naguerachic mine instead.
He refuses to state where he has
been during the past week, and 1t is
said that he went as far as San An
tonic. Texas, and returned.
Mrs GiIlett has gone to Kansas City
and will return in about one month.
1t is a remarkable fact that during
all of Gillett's troubles he has never
taken to drink. He does not know the
taste of LIQUOR, and imbibes nothing
stronger than soda water. Those who
have met him down here believe his
story that he was made the victim OF
circumstances, and that while others
may have profited by the transaction
he did not.
At all events the story that he is now
broke is fully credited. 1t is said that
the sale of his wife's store netted only
enough to pay the debts and furnish
Mrs. Gillett with sufficient funds to go
to Kansas City.
