ly a half hour and delayed Mr. VIII
sons as much. While the senate was
working on the sundry civil bill tue
presidential party waited for the Woro
to enter the chamber.

Mr. Poindexter still speaking the house
was announced and filed in. 1t looked
as tho there could be no vote on the

a vote, The president characterized it
"a 9 ..class Hesitation of the most vicious
sort"

with the understanding that no at
tempt would be made to pass the bill,
and the diplomatic corps was ushered
In while all those assembled arose.
