"Mr. 9eftker." he called. The speaker' face was Hushed sllchtly. but he looked straight ahead as if he did not hear. "I ask unanlmotia consent to .peak for live minutes," shouted the general, but the sivnker disregarded him. Every eye was now rivlted upon the diminutive figure of the grlMly old veteran of two wars.

But five minutes remained. In It was enacted' one of the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed In the hall of represen tatives. Payne summoned Doekory diem ocrat, of Missouri), to the chair, and ho In turn recognised Bailey, the minority leader in this congress, to present a resolution thanking the speaker for the Impartial manner In which he had presld. ed over the deliberations of the house. Pockery. when the applause hHd sub. sided, appointed Bailey. Bell (populist, of Colorado) and Payne to escort tho speak, er to tho chair.

As the speaker faced the house, the stillness of death settled down upon It. People In the galleries seemed to have censed to breathe, o oppressive waa the silence.
