The mem- bers who have felt their fate hanging by a thread expected the suspense to be relieved this morning. It was fully understood that the committees were to be announced. The Speaker himself said at 11 O'clock that they would be announced. At 11:30 he was doubtful, and grew more more so as the hands of bis wateh crept upon the 12 mark. At ten minutes to 12 he declared that the cormittees would not be an- nounced. He was almost beside himseif with an- noyance by that (ime.

SCENES IN SENATE, Senator Browa’s Resolution on the Abolition of Internal Kevenue Tax- bs ¥ ‘The galleries of the Senate were well filled but not crowded to-day upon the reassembling. The ladies Were out in numbers. Mrs. Lamont, accompanted by several friends, occupied the bench reserved for the President. The announcement that Senator Sherman would speak on the tariff ques- tion attracted many of both sexes, Senator | Brown subigitted a resolution which caused some surprise and speculation. It practically declared for the abolition of internal taxation, as & measure adopted in the emergency of war and noW no longer necessary. Senator Brown gave nouice that h up the resoiution next | Monday for r of submituing some te. | marks. The tone of the resolution Wi ternal taxes tot that ip this matter he may differ with the majority of his party in Congress.

Efforts to Secure a Better Attendance at the Opening Bevetion: Asarule the prayer of the Senate chaplain is datly delivered to an almost empty chamber. It 1s & Very rare thing for the presiding officer to call @quorum to order and frequently not more than halt a dozen Senators are present. Senators gen- erally admit that it 18 reproach to the body to thus ignore the only religious service in connec- tion with the proceedings, aud numerous quiet efforts have been made to effect a reform. In tne last Congress Senator Hoar offered a resolution to Tequire the presence of a quorum at tue prayer, Dut the second day after he failed to put in an ap- earance in time. When the prayer had been de- livered Mr. Hoar entered the chamber wearing somewhat ‘an air of embarrassment. His delin- Fed was observed, and the resolution became a d letter. ‘This’ ignoring of the prayer has grown to be a habit of the Senate, When Judge Davis, of Ullnols, was president pro tempore, he entered the chamber with the cuaplyin ove day and the only Senator Visible was Mr. Butler, of South Carolina. Jud Davis did not pause an instunt, but with all the solemnity and gravity usually observed by him on such occasions, he gave a siroke with his gavel and said: “The Senator fom South Carolina will Ponto ge Bi aa eee was treated aoe a yy the galleries an ages on the ficor, j~ Was not so intended. ‘The presiding officer took that method of rebuking the Senate ate and of having his rebuke go into the Record. ‘There is a desire among some of the Senators to ire prompt atiendance, and the subject has +n canvassed to some extent. There are Sena- tors who hold that it would be better to do away with the prayer altogether than to treat this re- ligious formula with such apparent disrespect. But, of course, no proposition to dispense with the chaplain would be seriously considered, and the question 1s how to prevail upon Senators’to be on Mand in time for the prayer. Tne prevalent opin fon is that it must be a moral reformation, as past attempts to make prompt attendance binding by resolution have failed. arcane Officers of the Maryland Legisiature.
