SATURDAY EVENING. FEB. %, 1908.

THE 1NIoUITY of the ousting OF MIR.
Butler of Missouri, from his seat in the
House of Representatives by the repuD-
licans of that body ON Thursday was
made more apparent yesterday when 1t
was shown that the outrage was per-
petrated by less than quorum. Mr..
Williams, of Illinois, took occasion yes
terday to call the attention of the House
to this fact. He pointed out that on all
the roll-calls the highest number OF re-
publicans who voted was 165, and that
when Mr.. Butler was unseated there
were only 8 democrats in the hall, so
that by no possible count could there
have been more than 173 members, 0
less than quorum, in the hall admit
ting that all the republicans who voted
during the day were present. Mr.. Elem
ing rising to a question of the highest
privilege. offered resolution, declaring
that no quorum was present when MT
Butler was unseated; that the Speaker
pro TEN, ruling to the contrary violated
the constitution; that the announcement
that the House had unseated Butler and
seated Wagner was in fact untrue, and
that Butler lawfully retains his member
ship in the House. No attention. now
ever, was paid to Mr.. Williams, and Mr.
Fleming was taken off his feet by Mr.
Payne, the republican floor leader VIII
a motion to lay the resolution on TN
table, which was at once carried. Im'
but shows what the republicans are capa
BILE of doing, but it really does seem tina
if the courts can declare unconstltutiona
the acts of Congress such wrongs al
that committed on Thursday could b'
rectifed by legal tribunals.

THE strongest count in the indlct-
ment on which judgment was rendered
against the beef trust in court recently
is the charge that the trust "bid up the
prices of live stock for few days at a
time to induce large shipments, and
then ceased from bidding to obtain the
live stock thus shipped at prices much
less than it would bring in their regular
ways" In speaking of this the Philadel-
phia Record says; Men capable OF
such knavery deserve the contempt Of
every honest man in the land. There

CAUGHT IN PooLROOM RAID.-Cap-
tain German and a number ofpolicemen
raided an alleged women's poolroom yes
terday in the rear of a saloon in West
Eighth street, near Sixth avenue, New
York. There were about 20 women in
the place at the time, and they were
thrown into a panic. There lisa Raines-
law hotel over the saloon, and several of
the women sought escape in that way.
They went into the rooms and hid under
beds, and one very stout woman tried to
get through the scuttle leading to the
roof. She became wedged in the aper-
ture, and her screams for help betrayed
her hiding place. A woman, who said
she was Miss Annie Simmons, was arrest
ed on a warrant charging her with keep
ing the poolroom, and several alleged
male attendants were also arrested. The
customers were allowed to go. The evil
dence on which the warrants were issued
was secured by one of the city's police
matrons, who says she placed bets in the
rooms.

Madrid, Feb. 2S.-Several conferences
have recently been held BETWEEN
Premier Silyela and Sir H. M. Durand,

treaty most prejudicial to European trade
with Cuba and stated that the powers
would present a collective protest to
Washington should the Senate ratify the
treaty. After comforting with the Spanish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Premier
Silvela informed the British Ambassador
that Spain would join the concert and
sign protest if the treaty should be

To PREVENT the excessive and I'M
necessary illustration of government
documents for the sake of economy, the
House of Representatives recently adopt
ed an amendment to the appropriation
for printing the report of the Secretary
of Agriculture, making it mandatory on
the public printer to illustrate docu-
ment only when expressly ordered by the
head of a department, who must show
that it is imperatively needed. The
wasteful and unnecessary expenditure oil
public money atthe Government Printing
Office is becoming matter of common
scandal so much so, that the President
recently called a halt. Thousands OF
dollars are frequently spent on printing
documents that are of no practical use
TO anyone.

From Richmond.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.l
Richmond, Va, Feb. 2S.-An exciting In
cident occurred in the House today. Mr..
Davis, Of Petersburg, arising to question OF
privilege, bitterly arraigned the Richmond
News-Leader for an editorial in that paper
which, he claimed, reflected upon the court Of
justice committee in the Campbell case. He
denounced certain of the statements as hg-
ments of a corrupt and distorted brain, and
expressed the belief that they were wilfully
and maliciously made.

Southern people are the true friends OF
