A SPEECH WITHOUT WORDS.
Notable Incident in the English House Of
Commons.

asVseOsS sssSsaSue sts wv ttVoSS W
Commons.
The Chicago Tribune notes the fol.
lowing memorable incident in the
career of William Briggs, lately de-
ceased, made in the House of Com.
mons, in contest for a seat in that
body:
Briggs had the distinction, when
only % years old of capturing the seat
which John Morley lost, and early in
his career took an energetic stand on
the side of what were called the OBJ
structionists. On one occasion, after
Q firing nights debate, he rose at 6
O'Clock in the morning to keep up the
debate, but he had lost his voice, and
not word was he able to utter. His
head wagged, and all the character
istic, graphic picturesqueness of rhe.
torical energy were there. His lips
moved with unwonted rapidity, but
not q sound came from them.
At first the house was startled.
Then the humor OF the situation man.
ifested itself. Members of both sides
entered into the fun and boisterous
laughter swept through the building.
At every point made by fingers or by
the sweep OF the arm, volleys of cheers
were sent up, as though the enrap-
tured audience was drinking in elo.
quence of the rarest kind. 1t was one
OF the funniest scenes ever enacted in
the House OF Commons. Briggs was
afterwards congratulated for the
novelty and success OF his method Of
being obstructive without too much of
q strain on his physical strength.
