While the train was delayed at the little station in consequence of a hot box the passenger who had stuck his head out of the car window opened a conversation with the lounger sitting on nail keg on the platform and smoking a corncob pipe.

the valuable barn, S4 head of cattle, two

and 81, 900 worth Of farming imple-

folk. The loss will pr,bably aggregate
$40, 900. There was aslight insurance

ONE OF the republican New York
papers asserts that Mr.. William j. Bryan
has informed his intimate friends OF that
city that if the gold and plutocratic
democrats, as he terms certain members
of the party triumph in the next ma
tionaI democratic convention he will
lead his followers from the hall and
nominate an Independent democratic
ticket with platform that will enlist
the support of his followers. Mr.. Bryan
will not be candidate for President,
the paper adds, but it says his friends
claim that he represents radical democ-
racy today, and his views will prevail
in the convention. He will not surren-
der one of the vital principles fought for
in 1896 and 1900. Whether the above
is based upon truth or not remains to be
seen. The cardinal principle of democ-
racy is to bow to the will of the major
ity, which we prefer to believe Mr..
BRYAN will do, and if he did not make
the utterances attributed to him above,
he should, in justice to himself disavow
them at once.

Fifty-Seventh Congress.
Washington, d. c., Mar. 8.
SENATE.

At IL o'clock this morning the Senate
began its last session of the Fifty-seventh
Congress. There may be few breath
ing spells in the form of recesses before
it dies, by constitutional limitation, al
noon tomorrow, but these will be brief
There was a full Senate when the
gavel fell. The members gave no indi'
cation of the long and turbulent session
of last night.
Mr.. Aldrich, the author of the bank
deposit bill that was buried by demo,
cratic minority, was aggressive as usual
The credentials of the two Senators
elect from Delaware, j. H. Alice and
L. H. Ball, were read and placed on file.
The conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill from which was
stricken the $4,000, 900 appropriation
for the purchase of postofice site in
New York city, was agreed to without
debate.
Mr.. Bailey, upon his request, was ex-
cused from further service on the COM
mittee on foreign relations and Mr..
Clark (Mont.) was named to gil the
vacancy.
The conference report on the bill for
the protection of the President came up
for consideration after long wrangle as
to whether it was of such privileged
character as to supplant other business.
Mr.. Bacon opposed the report, declarss
ing that with the exception of one Sec
ton, it was never discussed by the judi
ciary committee of the Senate, or ever
read in the Senate.
Time and again the gayel of the Presi-
dent pro TEN fell. The disorder that
marks the closing days of a session had
the chamber in its embrace.
Mr.. Hoar viewed the discussion in the
light of filbuster.
"But | admit the provocation, ''he
said. Standing on this side of the
chamber | am in no good position to
scold or lecture the members on the
other side, no matter how great my de-
sire to see this measure enacted into
law"
The regular order, the financial bill,
was laid before the Senate during the
consideration of the presidential protec-
ton bill.
Immediately the disorder became pro-
nounced.
Mr.. Hoar wanted the financial bill
set aside.
Mr.. McCumber moved that the pure
food bill be taken up.
Senators on both sides of the chamber
were vociferously demanding recogni-
ton. Mr.. Hoar withdrew the protec-
ton bill report, upon the emphatic an

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH 8, 1908

REPREsEYTATIvE RICHARDSON, Of
Tennessee, democratic floor leader of the
House, bitterly arraigns the republican
majority in that body for their iniqui-
tous act of last week and says Of the
democratic attitude in the House
eve propose to keep up our policy
until noon on Wednesday. | do not
consider that the man who strikes the
first blow is the aggressor, but the man
who makes it necessary. We are
simply defending our rights, showing
our opposition TO such an unprecedented
act as that by which the republicans un-
seated member of the House when no
quorm was present. We will continue
to demand roll call upon every PROPOSE
ton and the constant presence OF a
quorum, and will take every parliament
ary advantage TO which we are entitled.
If that policy produces an extra session
we are ready to take the responsibility.
"The republicans have not enacted the
legislation they promised the people.
They have passedno measure for tariffre-
form. They have notreduced taxation nor
have they passed any sufficient bill for
curbing the trusts They won't pass
the Littlefeld bill or anything effective.
Nor have they kept their promises as
to banking and currency reform. Even
If we should force an extra session |
doubt if the republicans would keep
their promise them"
And every word that Mr.. Richardson
says is true. The republican leaders are
thoroughly INSCRIPTIONS; they care moth
ing for promises; they make them hut
10 break them and ON so good republi-
can authority as Mr.. Quay they "lied
to the people in one plank of their ma
tional platform and would lie on Others
when the opportunity presented itself. "
This was said on the floor of the Senate.

end. for il would be suicidal to enter in
to legislative day of March 4th. 1t
would give the democrats an opportunity
10 demand the reading of the journal;
and there would not be time enough for
that if the day should have more than
twice the number of hours than the law
allows. So, when noon, March 4th,
arrives, or after the clock points to noon,
having been set back IS often as may be
deemed expedient, the March 4th adj
journment will be had on the legislative
day of February 26th, and the journal
of that day will remain unread. The
flibuster of the democrats of the House
has, up to this morning, consumed 60
roll-calls.
1t is expected that the Senate will,
about 5 or 6 O clock this evening, take a
recess until tomorrow morning. The
Senators do rot want to remain in ses-
sion all night.

Adrift ON an Ice FIoe.

Menominee, Mich, March 3.-Twenty-
six fishermen, most of whom reside in
Marinette, Wis, are floating on Lake
Michigan, in danger of death by drown
ing or from cold. Searching parties have
been sent out from here and from other
places in the vicinity. The fisherman
were camping on the ice between Bailey s
Harbor and Chambers Island, and were
not aware the ice was moving until too
late. Albert Krenich was on the ice
yesterday when he heard sharp crack
ing sound. Instantly taking alarm he
set out for shore and after night of
suffering and peril reached safety. He
saw the lost fishermen drift out, and said
they had with them nets worth 81, 900.
When last seen the foe was being driven
by the wind toward Deaths Door, fhe
entrance to Lake Michigan.

complained about the presence of Brock
in the house and he was asked to leave.
The girl objected to Brock going and
Brock would not leave her at Whitehall and

as in former differences at the palatial, but
barren aud cherries mansion, the General
flew into rage which was uncomfortable
