The principle that every senator is en-
titled to speak as long as he desires, and
that no motion can take away from him
the right to the floor until he is ready to
yield it. has produced the unique sena-
torial tilibuster. A senator in the minor
ity at the end of his speech may yield the
floor, and as long rs another of the OPP
position succeeds in following him they
are able to protect the debate and prevent
a vote. Senators engaged in iilibuster
have long odds over those attempting to
put it down. Three or four strong-lunged
senator's on guard in the interest of a
filibuSter can usually maintain debate SO
long that it wears out the efforts of the
majority to maintain a quorum. and to
bring the issue to a vote or to COM
promise.
According to tradition in the Senate,
there shall not be any hindrance on free
and full debate. This freedom of debate
has been used by individual senators for
the purpose of blocking legislation to
which they We're opposed. especially to-
ward the end of Congress. which expires
biennially by limitation March 4. Thus
former Senator Carter of Montana once
defeated a river and harbOr bill by talk
ing it to death: the late Senator Clay OF
Georgia made a lengthy and successful
filibuster on a statehood bill; the demo-
Gratis of the eSnate successfully filibus
tered against the famous force BILL and
Senator Tillman of South Carolina sue
cessfuliy insisted upon an appropriation
for a claim in favor of his state which
had been repeatedly disallowed.
In 1908 Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin and several other opponents Of the
Aldrich currency bill started filibuster
against the passage of the conference re-
port on that measure. Every technically
was utilized for the purpose of consuming
time. The question of mo quorum was
repeatedly raised. and the session, which
began at noon May - sat for some
thirty hours. This brought about the
resurrection of an ancient rule whereby
members could be compelled to vote or to
give good reason therefor. Under this
rule the Vice President counted a quorum
in spite of the fact that majority Of the
members of the Senate had not voted.
The Senate also determined upon that &C.
casion that the question of mo quorum
could not be raised when a previous roll
call had disclosed the presence Of a
quorum. if no business had interviewed,
and it was held that the debate did not
constitute intervening business.

ary. It was the barest of impulses which
led him to glance up the entry before he
blew out the match. Then he gave a
quick start and became for a moment
paraIyzed. Within few feet of him
something was lying on the ground-a
dark mass, black and soft-the body of a
man, perhaps Just above IL pair OF
eyes cleaned at him through the semi
darkness.
Laverck at first had no thought OF
tragedy. 1t might be tramp or a drunk
ard. perhaps-a fight, or a man taken Ill.
Then something sinister about the light
of those burning eyes set his heart beat
ing faster He struck another match
with firm fingers and bent forward. What
he saw upon the ground made him feel a
, little sick. What he saw racing away
down the passage prompted him to swift
pursuit. Down the arched court into the

shadowlike form which he pursued. AT
the end was another street-empty. He
looked up and down. seeking in vain for
any signs of life. There was nothing to
tell him which way to turn. Opposite
was a very labyrinth of courts ard turn
ings. There was not even the sound of
football to guide him. Slowly he re-
traced his steps. lit another match and
leaned over the PROSTATE figure. Then
he knew that it was q tragedy, indeed,
upon which he had stumbled.
The man was dead. and he had met
with his death by unusual means. These
We're the first two things of which
Laverick assured himself Without any
doubt, a savage and a terrible crime had
been committed. 4 horn-handled knife

felt his head swim as he looked. He
rose to his feet and walked to the OPEN

was no longer empty.
About thirty yards away. looking west
ward a man was standing in the middle
of the road The light from the lamp
post escaped his face. Laverick could
only see that he was SLIM of medium
height. dressed in dark clothes, with his
hands in the pockets Of his overcoat To
entry. Laverick took a step toward him
the man as deliberately took step
farther away. Laverfck held up his hand.
"Hullo" he called out and beckoned.
The person addressed took no notice.
Laverick advanced another two or three
steps-the man retreated q similar dis
lance. Laverick changed his tactics and
made sudden spring forward. The man
hesitated no longer-he turned and ran as
though for his life. In few minutes he
was round the corner OF the street and
lout OF sight. LAverick returned slowly
to the entry.

a result he declared openly that i'm the
future he would not attempt to make
humorous speech. Such events in the
House are regarded as happy hits and
are of frequent occurrence.
In the House member desiring To
make a speech often has to beg for a
single minute in which to make it. In the
Senate there is no limit to the time Il
senator may talk. except that imposed by
his own powers of endurance. In the
House a member may ask leave to extend
his remarks In the Congressional Record
and then may print there speech not
word of which was delivered on the floor
He may even go so far as to place In his
printed but undelivered speech interpola-
tions such as Applause" Prolonged APP
plause" and Loud and continued APP
plause" and other little phrases wherever
he thinks they ought to go. 1t is true
the matter thus far. But in the Senate
the practice of extending remarks In the
Record is never resorted to. and the
cheap practice of inserting such lnterpo-
lations as those above is unheard OF
The Senate differs from the House as
widely In it's rules and in the way in
which it is constituted as it does in the
character of its proceedings. The Senate
never dies; one-third of the senators 90
out of office and a like number come in
every two years. so that two-thirds of the
Senate membership is always IN office.
The House dies every two years and must
be entirely reorganized at the beginning
of each Congress. There is sort OF
rivalry between the two bodies, each as
sorting itself to be the more powerful ana
each occasionally pointing the finger OF
ridfcule at the other on account of the
difference in procedure.
The rules of both the Senate and the
House positively prohibit any member of
cit her body to speak unexpectedly of the
other body, and yet senators frequently
point out that the rule in the House is
little more than mob rule, while members
of the House as often declare that SEN
atorial courtesy is carried to such lengths
that one man may thwart the VIII OF
more than ninety.
Yet each body is proud of its distin-
gushing features. The House could not
be induced to give up its right to cut off
debate whenever 1t desires to do SO, and
the Senate has never found provocation
strong enough to induce it to curtail the
right of unlimited debate. Legislation
in the Senate is enacted largely on the
principle of unanimous consent In prac-
tice the Senate never agrees to set a date
for a vote in the future except by unani-
nous consent

CHAPTER TX.
Robbing the Dead.

The roar of the day was long since
over The rattle Of vehicles. the tinkling
of hanson bells, the footing of horns
from motor cars and cabs. the ceaseless
tramp of footsteps, all had died away.
Outside the streets were almost deserted.
An occasional yayfarer passed along the
tagged pavement with speedy footsteps.
Here and there a few lights glimmered
at the windows Of some OF the larger
blocks OF offices. The hustle of the day
was finished There is no place in Lon
don so strangely quiet as the narrow
thoroughfares of the city proper Wheh

Laverick, haggard from his long vigil
locked up his books at last. turned out
the lights. and, locking the doors behind
him, walked into the silent street In
stinctively he turned his steps westward
This might well be the last night on
which he would care to show himself In
his accustomed haunts. the last night or
which he could mix with his fellows
freely and without that terrible sense OF
consciousness which follows upon dis

left of it. 1t was too late to change and

SOLDIERS ON THEIR HONOR,
Provision Made for Serving Sen.
fences Without Guard.

Although the American soldier may
commit an offense and be sent to a guard
house or military prison. that does not
mean that the army cannot still put him
on his honor and let him work without
the presence of sentry to keep a watch
full eye upon his every move to prevent
any attempted escape.
Garrison prisoners serving sentences of
confinement may now be worked without
a guard. Important changes permitting
this practice were made during the year
in the regulations and the guard duty
manual. according to Brig. Gen. F. III.
Crowder, judge-advocate general of the
army.
Restoration to duty for good conduct
after serving part of a sentence Is also
provided for. as well as the establishing of
a probation system whereby an offender
may be released after completing one
half of a sentence of ten days or more.
