The Senate's Night Session

FEW more eccentric men have ever served in the
Senate of the United States than Isham G. Har-
ris of Tennessee, who died in the harness only
a few years ago. The older Senators and newspaper
men of the distinguished Tennesseean's time tell
many an amusing anecdote about him. One of the
most characteristic comes from representative of
press association whose work was connected with
the Senate during the consideration of the Wilson,
German tariff bill
Senator Harris one of the trio of Democratic
Senators who had charge of that measure and when,
after many anxious days, the bill emerged from com
mlttee and began its Perilous passage through the
Senate, he was made floor manager for his party
In that capacity he had complete control of the
length of daily sessions and to some extent of the
speech making He was therefore regarded by the
newspaper source of information and it

became desirable tor them to
get close to him" They
never had any difficulty in
approaching him, but they
found him exceptionally non
communicative.
1t was after long and tire
some day which had followed
many of its kind in weary
succession that the press as
ISOLATION man approached the
Senator with the innocent
question as to whether there
would be a night session. The
old man was at the time
walking through the inner
lobby of the Senate. He was
entirely alone. The answer
was voluble, but was not of
the character desired. With

ing his gait, with frequent
and emphatic pauses, and

bill then the subject of supreme Importance
in Congress, and Senator E1llins was intensely
left to where Senator Tillnan sat almost immedi-
ately under the outstretched of Senator War
rem, who occupied the floor. Mr.. Elkins held in his
hand copy of favorite amendment to the Rail
road bill, and he and the South Carolina Sena-
tor were engaged in animated conversation.
Mr.: Warren could scarcely hear his own words;
but he struggled manfully to proceed. The Vice
President raped vigorously for order, and, having
quoted the takers, inquired sharply in the usual
parliamentary phrase, Will the Senator from West
Virginia yield to the Senator from Wyoming?"
The whole Senate the joke and laughed.

The stars may answer you'll The vastly deep

BANKED if l will! I'm going down stairs to get

Nothing more said; but the had
scarcely left the Senator's side when the Senate
signal bells announced adjournment for the day.

Mr.. Dawes contended that the. ad-

excessive amounts of damages paid to
