It was In charge of Motorman Pritchard and Conductor Glerlng, and was speeding up Main street at the usual rate about 6:2!i this morning. A short dl-tance below Broad street a horse and wagon were proceeding slowly up town. They were beyond the danger point so far as the car was concerned, but (lie driver decided to take no chances.

The row was over a resolution Introduced by Southwick to pay three pair clerks of the house an increased salary. There was some objection from the Democrats, as the resolution did not provide for all the pair clerks of the house. The final report on the agricultural appropriation bill,-containing the meat Inspection provisions, was adopted by the house, the senate agreeing that the government should pay the cost of the meat inspection. (lent Gossip About National At the Cafe Martin last Monday evening Stanford White made a remark about Evelyn Ncsblt Thaw which was so worded as to be absolutely unprintable. it was of such a nature as to drive any husband frantic with rage, and counsel for the defense maintain it temporarily deranged the mind of Harry Kendall Thaw.

Mr. Sulzer asked why the resolution did not take in all the clerks, and Mr. Bartlett walked down from his seat in the rear and gained the recognition of the speaker. He appeared to be about to object, when Mr. Southwick walked over toward him as though to say* something to keep him from objecting. Plttslon Companies Had ICxcellciit Goremykin Tir«d of Job.

He- said because of the great principle Involved the senate conferees had decided to advise the senate to yield on the meat inspection amendment, and not the least beneficial of these effects would be tliat it would open the way for new packers, for thereafter the government stamp and not the good will of the house would be the guarantee of the character of Co.

But Oeneral Trepoff, commander of the palace, who Is personally charged with protecting the czar's person, has redoubled his precautions at Peterhof. Bartlett stepped back a pace or two but Southwick kept on going toward him, and Bartlett stepped up behind the first desk in the right aisle on the Republican side proper. He said he did not propose that the resolution, which had not been considered by a house committee should be considered In that manner. He finally objected to unanimous consent.
