WASHINGTON LETTER,
(From Our Regu lar. Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1, 1895.
Vice President Stevenson Is as
mild-mennered a gentleman as
ever. presided. over theT United.
States Senate, but -he this ,we-k
demonstrated to. the. Senafe as}.
well as the public that there Is a
wide gulf between mildness and
weakness. When the excitement,
which has been a marked feature
in the Senate all the week, -cul-
minated in ~the greatestT uproar
seen on the flopr of. the . Senate,
brought on by the attempt to pre-
vent the Gorman. amendment-
authorizing she Secretary ~of the
Treasury to issueT3' per cent loan
certificates whenever ready money
was needed, being laid before the
Senate, he proved himself «qual
to the occasion, by ordering the
Sergeant-at-arms to restore order,
although he must have seen from
the faces of. the older. Senators
that he was trampling upontradi-
tion and� dignity by so .deing-
He even went further, oby ~ refus-
ing to.allow business, to, be Te~
sumed until perfect order. was
restored. and then to add ferce to
thd objTct lesson in good mannersT
that he was giving to unruly Sen-
ators he.directed the Berereut. at
arms toinsist. upon order being
maintained and to place a suffi}
cient number of assistants upon;
the floor to..enforce the order.
When you might have hearda pidT
drop the ViceT President .calmly.
said: oThe Senator from. Mary-
land will now oproceed.� After»
s. the Gorman ~amenhament
was withdrawn to prevent the
Sundry Civil appropriation bill
being tatkéd to death.o ~ o' :
