didn't think Joe Cannon would do such
small business az this.
Mr.. .Hollingsworth' wrath was SO real
and his appearance SO thoroughly ludi-
crous thai the House laughed until IT
choked, and then laughed some more.
1t was revealed. to the further amuse-
ment of the IloUse, as Mr.. HollingsWorth
proceeded with his statement. that he had
left the Capitol at midnight. after having
taken the precauticn to make a pair with
d democrat, and that he had permission
to leave from Whip Dwight.
Il want to know" demanded MIR. HOl-
lingsworth. gurgling with rage, II l
have been imposed upon. Have l been
singled out to be arrested?'
What Right Had He to Be PairedP
Where does the gentleman live?" ask

by this time that the whole world was
against him.
Il demand to know from the Speaker
WHY l was arrested when l was properly

spairlng gesture ''who came to my room

Mr. James and some other democrats con-

that it seemed somewhat doubtful
whether he had improved to the fullest
possible extent his opportunity for SUM

After Mr.. Dalzell, the presiding officer,
had answered the various sO-called par

Hlinesworth the latter demanded to know
if he could "go back to the hotel and go
to bed

overcoat under his arm, damned his hat
on the back OF his head and moved with
great dignity out of the chamber, coming
down heavily ON his heels as he walked.
Sergeant-at-Arms Is Threatened.
After this foolishness the proceedings
dragged YEARLY on until 515 O'Clock.
Then Representative Norris of Nebraska,
author of the resolution which started
all the trouble. gave notice that he would
offer a resolution proposing an inquiry
into the conduct of the sergeant-at-arms

bers of the House.
He announced further. in businesslike
tone that unless Col. Casson had handy
a particularly good line of excuses, and
unless It were shown that he used all
possible diligence he, Mr.. Norris, would
move to dismiss him from his position
and elect somebody else to take his place.
At 5:45 o'clock this morning the House
still lacked twenty-five of quorum. Some
OF the members: to pass the time away
resumed active denunciation Of the rules
and practice of the body.
Speaker Cannon, who had mapped for
an hour or so on the leather davenport In
his room, occupied seat on the floor
while this was going on, paying abeo-
lutely no attention to the proceedings and
busiiy reading the morning papers.

him.

all of an hours Sleep.
