Now Seen as Prophetic.

from 18th September, 1889, to 14th
June, 1890"
Upon the f1y-leaf of the Journal it
states: journal OF the first session of
the Senate of the United States of
America, begun and held at the City
of New York. March 4th, 1889, and in
the thirteenth year of the indepen-
dence of the said States" While this
was, in fact, the "'thrteenth year of
the independence" it was the first
year under the Constitution, and for
this reason the Journal is particularly
valuable as an historical document.
One can derive fascinating first
hand picture from the pages that
follow. of the efforts of a group of
men to form a national government.
Without pattern or precedent, they
felt their way along, cropping after the
best method for conduct of the affairs
of the young and growing Nation,
knowing that "the eyes of the world
are upon you" indeed-as the first
Vice President told them in his initial
address to the Senate One can trace
by means of these pages the day-to-
day efforts at organization. the eS-
tablishment Of precedents of procedure
and conduct between the Houses, and
numerous other details that explain
how some of our present-day practices
come into being.
1t is apparent. as one reads. that 1t
was a difficult matter to start things
going in this new Nation. At the
opening Of the first session. as a
matter of fact. only eight members
Of the new Senate appeared to take
their seats. The notations on the page
for that memorab BILE day read;
journal Of the first session Of the
Senate of the United States, viz. New
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Connecticut. Delaware. New
York, Maryland and Georgia. Being
the IL States that have respectively
ratified the Constitution of Govern
ment for the United States, proposed
by the convention held at Philadelphia,
on the 18th September, 1887
Wednesday. March 4th, 1889" the
journal continues. the following
members of the Senate appeared and
took their seats" and it names Lang
don and Wingate of New Hampshire.
Strong of Massachusetts: Johnson and
Ellsworth of Connecticut: Maclay and
Morris of Pennsylvania; and Few of
Georgia.
IRON day to day there was an
insufficient number present to con-
Stltute a quorum, so that the Senate
adjourned directly after meeting. Upon
the 1lth Of March members decided
to round up the absent Senators by
means of a circular letter, and such
letter was accordingly drawn up
and forwarded to them. II is care
fully written by hand in the ledger,
and is especially interesting when we
consider that it would be difficult
today to prevent Senator from
attending. to say nothing Of having
to urge his attendance by such pleas
as appear in this quaint letter dated
March II. 1889. from New York.

fact. he had no time to change from
his work clothes, although the Silver
ash was approaching port and his
wife, whom he had not seen since the
expedition sailed in MidWinter, was
waiting on the wharf.
On the forward deck of the freighter
Roy Jennier, head keeper at the Zoos
reptile house. was supervising the
feeding of four giraffes. two Hima-
layan bears and several score of small
mammals in crates lashed along the
rails. No less busy was Lyang Gaddi,
Borneo hunter, guide and trapper who
was brought along because of his
knowledge of animals and his willing
ness to work under the most trying
conditions.
Thus when the big freighter swung
about and was nosed into her dock
even after she got her lines ashore and
her gangplank down-the expedition
members were still engaged with their
jobs. although Halifax was the first
stop since the Silverash showed off
from Port Said two weeks previously.
The ships officers and crew had
labored valiantly to bring the perish
able cargo through safely. The freight
er ran into a heavy gale several days
out Of Halifax
Waves washed over her decks. and

Bananas, oranges and apples were
provided for the birds and monkeys.
The gibbons required a diversified
diet. something like that Of small
children. The Komodo dragon pre-
ferred duck and some of the snakes
took fresh eggs. The greenstuffs for
the animals included spinach. lettuce,
string beans. boiled peas and cabbage.
Pumpkins were provided as an emer-
gency ration when other vegetables
grew scarce.
One of the rareSt types Of the ex-
petitions "barrelful' of monkeys was

were presented to the expedition in
Sumatra by Harvard scientist. who
chanced to be in Boston when the
Silverash docked. He visited the bears,
which had grown prodigiously since
he saw them last. They seemed to
recognize him as they licked tidbits
from his fingers.
There were no union hours on the
expedition.
Its members in periods Of emer-
gency scarcely had time to distinguish
night from day. Asked If they would
like to 90 on another collecting ex-
pedition. Davis and Jennier grinned
and agreed they would rather not try
it for a little while. anyhow
There's plenty of work connected
with an expedition" said DR.. Mann.

and then ask us il we'd like to 90
